Sri Lanka Is Screwed

Sri Lanka Is Screwed  Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog
"Remember how Sri Lanka managed to wreck agricultural yield by forcing the country to use organic fertilizer? 

“Not only had Sri Lanka’s ban on fertilizers, pesticides, weedicides, and fungicides resulted in massive food shortages, it also led to the doubling in price of rice, vegetables, and other market staples.”
Turns out that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Sri Lanka’s prime minister is increasing efforts to revive the country’s “completely collapsed” economy amid a lack of foreign exchange reserves and severe shortages of essential items.
“We are now facing a far more serious situation beyond the mere shortages of fuel, gas, electricity, and food. Our economy has faced a complete collapse,” Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told parliament on June 22...
This video goes into more depth of just how badly Sri Lanka is screwed.

No, NPR, Public Opinion Polls Aren’t Proof of Climate Change

No, NPR, Public Opinion Polls Aren’t Proof of Climate Change
"National Public Radio (NPR) recently ran an article discussing the results of a poll it conducted claiming that Americans are suffering from extreme weather events due to climate change. 

Although because of the mainstream media’s claims the public may be under the impression that every weather event is due to climate change, this impression is wrong. 

Data demonstrate no trend of increasing extreme weather events, mainstream media assertions to the contrary...

• Polls are no replacement for facts in science, and science has measured little if any climate change impact on weather.

An NPR article titled “You’ve likely been affected by climate change. Your long-term finances might be, too,” written by NPR “Science Desk” reporter Rebecca Hersher, discusses the results of a recent poll conducted by NPR. 

NPR sampled Americans views concerning about their perception of weather events from the last five years..."

• Colombia Could Have Had a Coke-Legalizing, TikTok-Famous President. 
• They Elected a Socialist Instead.
  

President-elect Gustavo Petro could easily take Colombia in an illiberal direction.
...Despite his close links to Venezuela's Hugo Chávez and his "21st century socialism" agenda, Petro managed to garner the support of the traditional, often corrupt political machines that tend to heavily influence Colombian elections.

...Under "21st century socialism," Petro's Colombia may begin to resemble the undemocratic regimes of Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua..."

New Hunter Biden revelations prove red flag laws don't work - TheBlaze

New Hunter Biden revelations prove red flag laws don't work - TheBlaze: 

"If you voted for Joe Biden and you believe in all of these red-flag laws, then why isn't Hunter Biden in jail today?" Glenn asked. "You and I both know that the ramifications of Hunter Biden's activities and his tragic saga go well beyond Hunter Biden, because they are teaching people a lesson. We are moving towards a society that has a ruling class that lives above their own edicts. They tell us they know better. They tell us that our neighbors and even some of us are dangerous, while ignoring the dangers in their own lives or in their own families ... We saw it during COVID-19 and we will see it again with gun regulations, 'The rules are for thee and not for me.'

Biden sneaking amnesty through for a million illegal border-crossers - American Thinker

Biden sneaking amnesty through for a million illegal border-crossers - American Thinker
"Who says crime doesn't pay?
When you can cross the border illegally, and

not only be allowed to stay here, collect big benefits, and actually be allowed to apply for citizenship as a reward for your lawbreaking, why wouldn't you come without papers instead of come the legal way? 

You'd be a fool not to. 

Applying legally and waiting years for entry at great personal expense with no adjacent benefits is a fool's errand, given the Biden administration's current policies.
That's the shocking reality revealed in a report from the Washington Examiner showing that the Biden administration is now .... ever so quietly ... 

• dropping charges against tens of thousands of unvetted illegal border crossers and visa overstayers, leaving them with 
• clean records and incredibly, 
• the "right" to apply for green cards and 
• U.S. citizenship. 

If the current pace of that continues, at least a million are going to be effectively amnestied by 2024, the Examiner reports..."

Joe Biden uses note card telling president to take a seat. - TheBlaze: 

On Thursday, President Biden was meeting with wind industry leaders – after skipping a meeting with oil executives.

Biden accidentally exposed a cheat sheet that he was given that had step-by-step instructions for the president. On the top line, the note card read: "The President," followed by "Offshore Wind Drop-By Sequence of Events."

Then there were eight bullet points on the note card. One commanded the president, "YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants."

Ignoring MI's anti-business rulers but "branding" will overcome? Not!-----The state needs ‘Pure Michigan’ magic to revive its shrinking talent pool

"Pure Michigan" is pure, wasted million$ diverted to political cronies and a scam to help Whitmer's reelection hopes.

The state needs ‘Pure Michigan’ magic to revive its shrinking talent pool  By Lindsay Moore | lmoore@mlive.com
"...It’s time for Michigan to brag.

• ...The most recent census data shows 50 of Michigan’s 83 counties lost residents in the last decade. 
• Those counties lost a total of 109,771 residents, which represents the entire population of Livonia.
• Even worse, Michigan is losing young talent.
• Nine out of 10 Michigan residents lived in a county where the population of prime working age people dropped from 2007 to 2017, according to the Economic Innovation Group.
• Michigan cannot afford to keep losing talent at this rate, Stevens said.

...Being tapped as a “climate winner” has re-ignited the torch the Pure Michigan has been carrying for almost two decades.

The campaign has won multiple awards for being one of the best state tourism advertising campaigns in the country. 

...The latest ad effectiveness report from 2019 showed Pure Michigan influenced about 1.9 million trips to the state and about $2.3 billion in visitor spending.
...The messaging has to be direct and authentic, Lorenz said..."

Alito's majority opinion demolishes dissenting opinion from liberal justices: 'The absence of any serious discussion' - TheBlaze

Alito's majority opinion demolishes dissenting opinion from liberal justices: 'The absence of any serious discussion' - TheBlaze: 

"The most striking feature of the dissent," Alito went on to write, "is the absence of any serious discussion of the legitimacy of the States’ interest in protecting fetal life.

"Our opinion is not based on any view about if and when prenatal life is entitled to any of the rights enjoyed after birth. The dissent, by contrast, would impose on the people a particular theory about when the rights of personhood begin," Alito explained.

"According to the dissent, the Constitution requires the States to regard a fetus as lacking even the most basic human right—to live—at least until an arbitrary point in a pregnancy has passed," he continued. "Nothing in the Constitution or in our Nation’s legal traditions authorizes the Court to adopt that 'theory of life.'"

This is odd. And the media is hiding from it!-----Something Strange Happened in Georgia: Vernon Jones Is Latest Trump-Endorsed Candidate to Lose Run-Off Election in Peach State -- A Clean Sweep for Never-Trump

Something Strange Happened in Georgia: Vernon Jones Is Latest Trump-Endorsed Candidate to Lose Run-Off Election in Peach State -- A Clean Sweep for Never-Trump:
"In 2016 Donald Trump won the state of Georgia 50.4% to 45.3%.
...We now know that ballot traffickers pushed Joe Biden over the top with tens of thousands of illegal votes in 2020.

But that doesn’t explain 2022.

• Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who could not win his own district as a representative to the state convention, surprisingly won his primary two weeks ago over a popular Republican with 52% of the vote. Raffensperger was polling around 25%. Raffensperger is also a committed Never-Trumper who was caught lying about a call President Trump had with him back in December 2022...
• Brian Kemp, who was booed at the state convention, surprisingly won his primary in Georgia after a rally with Mike Pence, by 74% to 22%.
• And on Tuesday, popular conservative and Trump supporter Vernon Jones — who just months ago would receive a rock star’s welcome at rallies — lost to his opponent Mike Collins. Vernon Jones lost his race 76% to 24%.

So Georgia was a clean sweep against President Trump and his supporters..."
