The Real Cause of Weather-Related Deaths By Vijay Jayaraj

Despite fearmongering about climate change supercharging natural disasters, weather-related deaths have declined dramatically.

• According to the Emergency Event Database, the total global deaths per decade from climate-related disasters has fallen by more than 96% since the 1920s. 
• Data show that between 1960 and 2020, there was an unprecedented decrease in climate-related deaths compared to the period between 1920 and 1959.
• This decline is even more impressive considering that the global population has more than quadrupled during this period, from about 2 billion in 1920 to nearly 8 billion by 2020.
• The dramatic reduction in fatalities is not just a statistic; it represents a fundamental improvement in our species’ ability to adapt and withstand the forces of nature. It’s a story of triumph over adversity and of innovation in the face of danger.

Massive Electricity Price Rises Expected as National Grid Confirms Gas is the Only Back-Up for Intermittent Renewables by Chris Morrison

The pretence that electricity can be stored at scale to support unreliable renewables is nowhere to be seen

The cat is finally out of the bag. 

It is planned that Britain by 2030 will produce 95% of its electricity from so-called green sources with 5% coming from gas. 

• The pretence that electricity can be stored at scale to support unreliable renewables is nowhere to be seen in a recent Guardian interview with Fintan Slye, the head of National Energy System Operator (NESO). 
• “There will continue to be a significant amount of power plants in reserve for the cold, dull, windless weeks of winter, but they will run for only limited periods,” observes Slye, whose operation was recently nationalised and is responsible for balancing supply and demand across the National Grid.
• His remarks both clarify and strike fear at the same time. 
• There is no back-up at scale for intermittent breezes and sunbeams and this has been obvious for some time, although the subject is rarely discussed in mainstream media and politics...

TikToker exposes CBP One app in 5 minutes: 'There is no way to cross-check who I am' | Blaze Media: 

No ID needed 

The official description makes the phone app sound professional and secure. The reality, however, as alleged in recent social media posts, is that the Department of Homeland Security makes almost no effort to establish a person's identity before the person is allowed to make an appointment in hopes of being granted asylum. A recent TikTok video that has circulated online shows just how little information is required in the app. "Once you create an account, on the main page you just have to choose if you're the smuggler or the smuglee," the video creator joked. The first page opens with the following options for the user to self-describe:

How To Blow Up the Middle East War in Five Easy Steps - Victor Davis Hanson

When Joe Biden became president, the Middle East was calm. Now it is in the midst of a multifront war. - Victor Davis Hanson

So quiet was the inheritance from the prior Trump administration that nearly three years later, on September 29, 2023—and just eight days before the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israelis—Biden’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan could still brag that “The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.”

• So, what exactly happened to the inherited calm that led to the current nonstop chaos of the present?
• In a word, theocratic Iran—the nexus of almost all current Middle East terrorism and conflict—was unleashed by Team Biden after having been neutered by the Trump administration.

The Biden-Harris administration adopted a 5-step revisionist protocol that appeased and encouraged Iran and its terrorist surrogates Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
The result was a near guarantee that something akin to the October 7 massacres would inevitably follow—along with a subsequent year of violence that has now engulfed the Middle East...

'KAMALA'S AMERICA' revealed as you've never seen it before * WorldNetDaily * by David Kupelian: 

Imagine this. You're blessed to live in the freest, most powerful nation on earth, where citizens actually get to choose their leaders and their nation's future direction.

A uniquely historic election is just weeks away, and your two choices for leader – and your nation's future – couldn't possibly be more different.

One leader candidate promises to halt the ongoing, full-scale foreign invasion of your country, which the current leaders have not only allowed, but invited and enabled. Incredibly, over 10 million illegal aliens from all over the world have walked unimpeded into your homeland, including countless terrorists, drug-dealers, sex traffickers of women and children, violent gangs, mental patients and criminals, powerfully fueling your nation's current twin epidemics of violent crime and drug-overdose deaths. Recent official government statistics reveal the "undocumented migrants" invading your country include over 13,000 convicted murderers.

LIFE UNDER HARRIS-WALZ WOULD BE THE SAME AS Life in Kamala’s California.

Instapundit - But ballot initiatives are another story.

Life in Kamala’s California.

It’s election season, and because California is a one-party state, we don’t see very many campaign ads for Kamala Harris. But ballot initiatives are another story. One hotly contested ballot initiative, Proposition 33, if approved by voters, will enable California’s cities and counties to impose rent control.

• How the rent control advocates make their case is typical. Greed and oppression against hapless, helpless, innocent victims. But the government is here to help!

The naked dishonesty of these ads is lost on most Californians...

Just wait until rent control creates severe shortages. - Stephen Green

'Treasonous': Biden-Harris spend billions on illegals, leaving disaster fund to help Americans empty * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Treasonous': Biden-Harris spend billions on illegals, leaving disaster fund to help Americans empty * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

The Biden-Harris administration has orchestrated its open border practices to set up circumstances that are costing American taxpayers in the range of $150 billion to help aliens, millions of them illegally in America. Per year. And that's left coffers dry when citizens, facing the loss of everything because of Hurricane Helene, need a hand up. The anger over the decisions at the executive level in the federal government that allowed that situation to develop is more than simmering: Sometimes it's erupting in outright rage.

Biden Was Asked What States in the Storm Zone Need. His Response Sets Social Media Ablaze.

“I’m wondering what storm you’re talking about,” Biden continued. “They’re getting everything they need and they’re very happy across the board.” - Leah Barkoukis
President Biden appeared confused Thursday evening when asked what he thought states impacted by Hurricane Helene needed after he spent the day touring parts of Florida and Georgia that were battered by the Category 4 storm.

“What do the states in the storm zone need after what you saw today?” a reporter asked him.
Biden paused momentarily before responding.
“Oh, in the storm zone!” he said.
“Yes, sir,” the reporter replied.
“I’m wondering what storm you’re talking about,” Biden continued. “They’re getting everything they need and they’re very happy across the board.”

Toxic empathy: Why voters should support mass deportations | Blaze Media: 

“I wrote the book because they hoist up a victim, whether it’s the woman who needs an abortion or the mom of three who’s fleeing Colombian gang violence, and through toxic empathy, they blind you to both reality and morality,” she explains, adding, “Through this emotional manipulation, they make you feel like you’re a good person by voting for the Democrats.”

“There’s a misplaced nurturing there, and they think that they are taking care of these marginalized communities by voting with social justice policies.”

A Helicopter Pilot's Rescue of a Couple Shows Everything Wrong With the Government's Response to Helene

This story out of Lake Lure, North Carolina...is infuriating. Now magnify it by 10... - Jennifer Oliver O'Connell

This story out of Lake Lure, North Carolina, which my colleague Brandon Morse briefly mentioned, is infuriating. 

Now magnify it by 10, and you get an even more potent idea of the people still suffering and the lives lost because of the disconnect between local and federal officials who are tasked (and paid) to help those ravaged by Hurricane Helene and the people who are actually doing the real work...

When Jordan Seidhom woke up Saturday morning, he saw a Facebook post that tens of thousands of people were commenting on and sharing. A family was stranded on a mountain in Banner Elk, North Carolina.

They ran out of water a day earlier and just enough food to last less than two days.

Seidhom, the former head of the Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office narcotics unit, knows a thing or two about finding people. He researched the mountain chain where the family was located and found a place to land on his mapping software...

Here's another amazing example of FEMA's feckless response to this natural disaster and its aftermath. They are sending out social media posts asking people to quell "rumors" that they are not responding and that they are not forcing local officials to shut down civilian response...

Check out their "proof"!-----Shockingly Bad Science - Kip Hansen

From the annals of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation comes this beauty of a headline above a news story Global Stroke Burden Continues to Rise, With Climate Change Gaining Influence
You may be asking yourself this question:

“What could be the possible causal connection between Climate Change and the occurrence of stoke in the general worldwide population?”

And a good question is far more valuable than a good answer.
My answer? 

• There is no causal connection – not even a barely biologically plausible connection or association.
• Nothing whatever.

But as always, The Science must have its way and The Science insists that if something is bad – as in undesirable – then it must be caused by Climate Change...
Hey but where is the evidence for CHANGE? 

As in Climate Change?
There is none.

Author’s Comment:

• I wish I could say that this kind of reporting is an anomaly – the exception. 
• Unfortunately, it is not. It is now the norm.

We are fed a constant stream of propaganda in place of news – propaganda in place of science news – propaganda in place of science research findings.
Don’t ask me about politics.

To ‘decenter whiteness,’ UMich study says count staff by race at meetings - Micaiah Bilger

Report funded by Gates Foundation calls for ‘elevating [staff of color] knowledge’ in the workplace

A new University of Michigan report recommends ways higher education employers can “decenter whiteness” in their workplaces, including by counting staff by their race at meetings.
According to the report, universities need to do more to end the “structural racism” that is “embedded in the[ir] fabric,” and transform their institutions into “thriving” environments for staff of color...

• One of the problems mentioned was expectations of professionalism on the job, according to the report.
• Ángel, identified as a “Latinx” staff member, commented: “Any concept of professionalism is a huge one and how it’s been used or weaponized to particularly affect people of color.”...

Damning video exposes former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn's tortured relationship with Jan. 6 truth | Blaze Media: 

“Everything he did to establish his fame was done deceptively,” Baker said, recalling Dunn’s dramatic retelling of a briefing he attended at the Capitol early on Jan. 6. It was a meeting that security video proves never took place.

“When one opens their own narrative with so much detail about the time, the location, the content of the meeting that never happened,” Baker said in the film, “well, then everything else he says about January 6 must be called into question.”
