Climate change: what to expect and are there really two sides? | Ask Bob
I've read that up where the satellites are the density used to be one molecule per cubic yard. My guess is that our space programs have thickend this to thousands of molecules per cubic yard two hundred miles up or so. What effect that has on the weather I can't begin to guess, but I can guess that a significant change in the norms has to mean that there are significant changes taking place; the mere fact that I can't detect them notwithstanding.
Oh, I wouldn't worry about the earth, it will take care of itself. It's we who need to worry. CH4 methane is 20 times the greenhouse gas that co2 is, but it should be comforting to know that it is short lived, so the 200 degree days, if they should arrive, won't last more than a few years. Enjoy DJT

Trump Jr. sparks 'birther conspiracy' of Kamala Harris

Biden: This is what I'm looking for in a running mate
The reason universal healthcare makes good dollars and sense is, everyone forgets that private insurers earn a tremendous profit. The government doesn't earn profits so the costs are lower. Another bad thing about private medicine is that doctors compete for patients. That means that even doctors with marginal skills are enticing people to come, same with institutions. Hospitals with less than state of the art treatments are jealously guarding their patients from institutions that specialize in the art of need. When you are ill, getting better is the only thing that matters, not money, not love, not loyalty; in short, you are not able to think about anything clearly when you are suffering. If the people who you must rely upon for care are dancing to some private/profit driven agenda, well, we all know what we think about that kind of thing. So it is for these reasons and more, that many western nations have opted for universal healthcare, they don't believe there should be a financially motivated institution overseeing any individuals healthcare.

The intelligence community has been upset, the USSC has abandoned protecting the one man one vote dictum, where they will no longer entertain questions concerning gerrymandering which robs people of their vote. Congress sits idly by and watches while Trump destroys everything that allowed America to work the way the founders intended. Republicans block any action to correct and/or save America from a man who is known to be a serial sexual offender, put in office with the help of a foreign power whom he now shows fealty to. Even while he publicly admits to the actions that are obstruction of justice. And nearly half the nation wants to have America become a dictatorship, believing that will stop abortions, end gay marriage and bring back slavery. Will the tree of liberty ever become thirsty? Or will America simply quietly slip beneath the waves of totalitarianism?

Trump faces criticism for July 4th display of military strength
If Trump was really patriotic he would not have claimed fake bone spurs to avoid taking his place in the war he supported in south east Asia. He chickened out so that someone else had to take his place and that would be the guy behind him in the line. Wonder what happened to that guy?
Goorin loved military uniforms too, eh?

Trump Parade Is Total Disaster
For a guy who was too afraid for his own skin to actually take his place in a real war, he now treats the militaries deadly equipment like tonka toys. The 4th isn't about a military event. Military governments are not freedom purveyors.

Republicans paid no attention to this report or others like it that kept coming for the last two years. They are about security clearances that put the nations safety at risk. Yet, those "Patriotic" Republicans have proven that they are not patriotic at all! So those MAGA hats and other Trump items are the mark of unAmerican ideas. In fact, support for Trump is support for totalitarianism and/or communism, or naziism, or racism or all of the above and perhaps even more, but exclusive of any American ideals at all. Thanks Republicans, you are destroying America.

Phil Mudd on Trump's July 4th speech: Let me be subtle. I hated it.
A guy who faked bone spurs to get out of serving in war time, should not be using the military as a prop to aggrandize/popularize himself at all. People who serve in the military are not playing games, they are pledging their very lives to the task of doing for their country. A man who faked a medical problem to avoid doing his share of service, should not be pretending that he respects military service, we all know that he does not. He is thinking that the poor fools should be sent to their deaths so that he can wear their honors with empty pomp and fake circumstance.

I won't be watching Trump's Military Parade, it's a waste of our nations time and money.
Trump: "It was the largest crowd in the history of the planet, you can't see any pictures because someone instructed the services to confiscate and prohibit all cameras. But I wanted to show everyone the pictures, but they're not available (lawyers; if you're listening, go into court and prevent any news outfit from showing any pictures), I want you to see all the pictures."

Captain Bone Spurs behaving badly. While the Supreme Court abandons the idea of "one man one vote", and therefore will not protect the rights of minority voters. Their idea is to let gerrymandering rob voters of the proportional representation they should have, as per the design of the vote. This is made especially terrible, coming as it does at a time when the Republican Party is refusing to allow an out of control, unhinged President to evade being held to account as the balances and checks were intended to do.
July 4 Celebrations Should Be Nonpartisan: Representative Mikie Sherrill...
Gee, back in the 50's and 60's onward, we used to marvel how Hitler was able to fool the German people so easily, we were sure there was something wrong with them missing the "clues" that a tragedy was in the making by way of a wrongfully selected leader. How easy, we thought it would have been, for us to have identified Hitlers objectives and reject them. Well, now we're finding ourselves enmeshed in the same sort of thing and our traditions and values are being shredded by a conman and liar and still we're paralysed and unable to bring the nation together against a growing concentration of power in the executive. Half of America and the party in control of the Senate, cannot oppose the creation of an unaccountable Chief Executive. A leader who is unaccountable can punish whomever he or she wants and that a dictator makes.
Step by step we are advancing down the path to a place where, because of our nuclear weapons stockpiles, terrible things are just waiting to happen. What comes next, if not avoided, will make WWII look liked a day at the beach.

Reporter Who Saw Trump Tax Returns: They Will Expose Him | The Beat With...
What, indeed, is in those tax returns? From what little we've learned so far, we have to question; "What kind of philanthropist uses money from his charities to pay his own business, political and personal expenses?" We already know that Trump is an outlaw, never bothering to even appear to be in compliance with the mandates of law. You can just forget about "the appearance of impropriety" which is little more than a joke with this adm.
Remember when Barr was asked if the Committee could have some notes Barr said were taken, to which Barr answered "No, why should you have them?" While the Representative remained quiet, the answer should have been: "Because we cannot trust a word you say, ever again; after what you attempted to do with the Mueller Report!
The only people who don't challenge Trump's word are people who haven't had reason to question him on any issue. Once they do and they see his deceit they become disillusioned.

The Mueller Report - A PBS NewsHour/FRONTLINE Special
Here's a trip down memory lane worth taking.
But here's the Full Mueller Report nothing does it justice like reading it for yourself.
Democrats Now Have Two 2020 Frontrunners | Deadline | MSNBC
While Elizabeth Warren knows how to handle a recalcitrant child; Kamala Harris knows how to go after a jury. Remember, Kamala's work involved obtaining 100% concordance or fail. Thus she has to be able to identify the "troublemakers" before they get to cause trouble; and appeal to their sensibilities, whatever they may be; and do so without losing the votes she already has.
Kamala is "prosecuting" a case for America's severe injury, against "the guy who drove drunk and slammed into America on a bike!" So, while America lays in the ICU on life support, the accused is out on bail and sitting in the Oval Office. There is not a bit of wonder why "the driver" refuses to let anyone see his past driving records. The Honorable Mrs. Harris knows how to deal with this kind of problem and get the culprit jailed. 'nough said!

This is not just Trump, but it is his Republican Senate support that makes these tragedies possible. Were Mitch McConnell against this sort of thing he could take measures to stop Trump in his tracks. He doesn't because he fears that Republican voters support Mr. Trump and Mitch will do whatever it takes to hold onto his seat. Just like the rest of the Republican cowards who are so greedy and selfish that they care nothing about god, country or anything else, but holding onto their Senate or Congressional seats. So, is the Republican part proud of this record they are accumulating?

The psychological damage this is doing will be suffered for decades or lifetimes and it may not be remediable. This is not how America treats people, this is not how America allows people to be treated.

Trump is campaigning on the suffering he has caused. When asked about it he doesn't have admonishment to those officers causing the pain and laughing about it, instead he's making it a campaign issue to be blamed on the opposition. How disgusting is that?

I wouldn't listen to a two faced gang of pundits voicing one sided opinions without cause. But hey, that's just me, I learned that one had to get news from more than one source because all sources are likely to be biased. Republicans are interested in creating a dictatorship out of America. Like the fool who killed the goose laying golden eggs, so he could get them all without waiting, Republicans are making no sense. They want to hold onto power without giving anyone any real real reason to hand it to them. To do this they must lie and fix votes.
It's really that simple.

Then there were the STD's for which there were no easy treatments with any guarantee of success, Needless to say Trump is ruining everything. Today, in every government agency, Trump is running the highly skilled professionals with years of expertise under their belts, out of the government or otherwise suppressing them because Trump cannot allow the truth of his own incompetence and mistaken ideas to be revealed.

It's a lot worse than she describes at the end of this video. The intelligence community has to be totally paralysed by the fear that Trump and/or his sycophant Barr might compromise anything endangering anyone, all for some transient political gain, real or imagined. All branches of government are suffering greatly because incompetent leaders have been appointed and/or highly skilled positions have not been filled, or filled with unqualified people. Even worse is that security clearances have been handed out like candy to people who never should have them, largely because they are too easily compromised.
Even worse yet is the fact that the Senate is unperturbed by this mess and continues to support Trump and all of his unAmerican antics simply to hold onto their seats in Congress. As if all that was not bad enough, the U.S.S.C. has decided that the "one man one vote" doctrine no longer has the high courts support. Thus they have severely crippled the nation which will have to survive the next decade, with one party claiming an unfair advantage over the other, without any possibility of a check or balance.
It is, for these reasons, a vote for a Republican at just about any level of government, city, state or national office, is a vote to dissolve the U.S. Constitution.

Have astronomers discovered an alien megastructure?
There's also the matter of 1,500 light years, which means that if they're a thousand years ahead of us we won't out know about it for 500 more years. Think about it, we have less than 200 years since we first began broadcasting, they won't hear us for another 1,400 years or so. But if they're building structures that can block 20% of a stars output, they have to be using "free energy". we have just started with quantum mechanics so I'll guess that in another 1,500 years, if we survive, we'll probably doing that too.
New findings have physicists questioning reality
Okay, I promised an answer on this and now here it is, just remember you heard it here first.
Remember there was that cloud of electrons that obscured everything after the big bang? It was known as the "dark period or age or something", well, when the negatrons formed they annihilated each other, but some protons captured electrons and became neutrons. So, while matter and anti-matter were annihilating each other, the neutrons, with no charge, continued to survive and accumulate. When the Universe had cooled enough, these neutrons then became unstable and emitted an electron and presto, matter and no antimatter. Tell this to any physicist and most will not argue, they'll simply be astounded that they didn't think of it first. Those who do argue against it will lose to their peers.
Ah, there's a simpler way to say all of this:
Matter and Anti-matter formed at the same time as neutrons were also forming.
While matter and anti-matter were annihilating each other, because of their opposite electrical charges (opposites attract) neutrons, on the other hand, do not get involved with this so they accumulate. After the universe finally finished there were all these neutrons leftover and they, as they do even today, decayed by emitting an electron, thus making hydrogen. Of course, neutrons are very sticky when it comes to contacting protons so you get deuterium, tritium (one and two neutrons sticking to a proton), and that gives rise to helium when the third neutron decays leaving two protons and two neutrons.
Why neutrons always emit electrons rather than positrons is a question that will have to be left to the quantum mechanics researchers.
Have a very nice day.

Symbolism Over Substance: President Donald Trump Steps Into North Korea ...
Ttump love murderous dictators, who knew? Do you who like Trump also agree that murderous dictators should be honored? If so, why do you think that American dislike and denouement of them should be dropped?
I guess that my having grown up in another time, I've lost touch with what Americans are about today, Mitch McConnell is supported strongly by Senate members who appear to agree that Trump can ignore Congress and rule without any oversight. The Senate has agreed to hold Trump above the law and to ensure that only Republican votes count. The U.S.S.C. seems to agree and has ended "one man one vote".
Either people who live in rural districts, are not watching what they are doing, or they are agreed that it's time for America to change into a dictatorship. I saw that happen in Germany many decades ago, they liked a man and kept voting for him, until when they discovered they didn't like him anymore, it was too late to do anything about him. Oh well, it will still take a few years before any dictator has enough power to start sending people he doesn't like to the grave.
