Democrat leaders are extremely stupid.


Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat in good standing and par excellence, said that AR-15s fire 50 caliber bullets.

The woman is extremely stupid, but that is exactly what makes her such a devastatingly effective Democrat leader.

Is the West Highway of NYC underwater like NASA Scientist Hansen predicted in 1988?


Fred Lapides could take a day trip and see with his own eye the validity of Hansen's model.

I bet a $1200 that the Russian troll will not.

- Can you say that in English and not Angrish after you take your morning pills?

- You do not miscalculate by 10 to 20 feet and retain a good reputation as a scientist. If Hansen had been a rocket scientist instead of a schmuck he would have blew up a fleet of rockets on the launchpad.

Parrot will never look at a temperature record from the last 300,000 years and be honest about ice ages and temperature swings.

When I was in 2nd grade my parent use to take the family for walks at the Nature Center. There were maps of glacial coverage form the last ice age and the temperature swings. Idiots pretend s that as we come out of an ice age the sea level does not rise or temperature does not increase.

Idiot parrot still does not no what minima, maxima, and inflection points are. It does not know what rate of change is. Parrot has not heard of Doggerland.


BTW Trump had a great rally with Insia leader MOdi. Trump will get 95% of the Indian American vote.


Meanwhile Bernie, the socialist millionaire, cannot get 10%of the Jewish vote in New York State.

;)


MAGA!

Some millionaires and billionaires are supporting the myth, because they stand to make money trading carbon credits and impoverishing the middle and lower classes.

This has been done before. For example Warren Buffet supported Obama, who was against the XL pipeline. He could continue to transport oil by rail and make money.
