The Barents Sea Was Seasonally Ice Free For Much Of The Holocene...Today It's Ice-Covered Year-Round

More evidence has emerged suggesting there is more sea ice in the Arctic today than nearly any time in the last 8000 years. - Kenneth Richard 

• According to a new study, biomarker evidence suggests the Barents Sea (Arctic) was seasonally “ice free” from ~8000 to ~2100 years ago, or back when the CO2 concentration was said to be about 265 ppm.
• For the last 2100 years sea there has been year-round sea ice in this region ...
• The modern period (1988-2007) has among the highest sea ice levels of the Holocene, with ~80% coverage in spring (Koseoglu, 2019)...

American workers need dignified uniforms | Blaze Media

American workers need dignified uniforms | Blaze Media: 

This was essentially how all uniforms looked in the past. The goofball uniform wasn’t a thing. There was an unspoken assumption that a uniform should convey seriousness. That assumption followed another assumption that adults should convey seriousness as well. This was the basic order of society.

Times have changed. The uniforms aren’t serious today because the society isn’t serious today. Men today are more likely to wear clothes that make a joke than clothes that make a statement of seriousness. Strength and beauty are not considerations for most people today when putting together an outfit. They should be; they were for most of history, but not today.

‘Sorry I can’t understand your accent’ could be racial discrimination

Tribunal judge makes ruling after university worker criticised over her ‘strong’ Brazilian accent 

Telling someone with a foreign accent you can’t understand them could be racial harassment, a senior tribunal judge has said.

• Commenting on or criticising the way someone from another country or ethnic group speaks could breach employment law, Judge James Tayler said.

The senior circuit judge of the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) made the ruling following a case about a university worker who sued when she received criticism over her “strong” Brazilian accent.

• “Comments about a person’s accent could be related to the protected characteristic of race,” he said at the appeal tribunal...

Wicked’s green skin trigger warning may feel silly – but not as silly as those crying woke

As BBFC’s Wicked warning leaves usual suspects green with anger, is a polite notice on a website really worth frothing about? - Stuart Heritage 

• Exhibit A: the BBFC has slapped a warning on the film, alerting viewers that it features scenes of discrimination against those with green skin.
• The BBFC website states that “seeing beloved characters being mistreated, especially when Elphaba’s skin-colour is used to demonise her as the ‘Wicked Witch’, may be upsetting and poignant for some audiences.”...

Homan: I'll Contract Non-Enforcement Immigration Work So I Have the Agents to Send More to Sanctuaries

Homan: I'll Contract Non-Enforcement Immigration Work So I Have the Agents to Send More to Sanctuaries: 

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” incoming Border Czar Tom Homan stated that he is going to contract as much work around immigration that doesn’t require law enforcement officials as he can, and that way, “if these sanctuary states and cities keep pushing back, I’ll have the extra resources to double manpower in those sanctuary cities.”

Michael E. Mann’s Forecast Fiasco

Well, the 2024 hurricane season has come to an end and we can now close out Michael E. Mann’s forecast—delivering a prediction so spectacularly off-target it could make a dartboard blush. - Charles Rotter  

Instead of the hurricane Armageddon Mann foresaw, we ended up with a grand total of 18 named storms—a far cry from the 33 he predicted. 

For perspective, that 18 is just barely above the historical average of 14.
And for Mann, whose forecast has been roundly criticized as one of the most inaccurate in recent memory, it’s more like a monument to overconfidence...

Report Released Showing Impact Christians Had on 2024 Election - This Is Huge

Report Released Showing Impact Christians Had on 2024 Election - This Is Huge: 

If you paid close attention to public affairs for at least the last four years, however, you almost certainly understand the earnestness with which politically-engaged, conservative-minded and freedom-loving Americans came to regard the recent election as first and foremost a spiritual contest between good and evil.

Thus, one finds it unsurprising but also heartening to learn that, according to a post-election report published last week by the Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University, self-identified Christian voters proved decisive in Trump’s victory.

Criminal law Should be Inelastic - American Thinker

Criminal law should be clear so that those covered by it can understand what is permitted and what is prohibited. - Clarice Feldman

“The fact that an IG report can be used to manipulate a historical narrative to protect the very Department it’s tasked with overseeing is deeply concerning. The men and women of the National Guard who put their lives on the line to protect our nation deserve the truth.
"Through our investigation, we know that the National Guard was capable and ready to deploy to the U.S. Capitol at 3 pm on January 6, but their response was delayed by senior Pentagon leaders...

So, not only did Trump ask that the demonstration be peaceful, he did everything in his power to keep it that way...

Michael Smith - Big Guy Joe's pardon of unfortunate Little Hunter... | Facebook

1) It proves there is Deep State that protects itself (Hunter was going to be collateral damage), pardoning him avoids more questions about what really happened with the deals in Ukriaine. 

2) If you are connected high enough and a Democrat, you will never be held accountable for anything.
3) To support a Democrat on the national stage is to support people completely devoid of honor...

• Trump should pardon all the non-violent J6ers.

How the CIA ruined Thanksgiving | Blaze Media

How the CIA ruined Thanksgiving | Blaze Media: 

In the wake of the JFK assassination, skeptics of the Warren Commission were swiftly branded as conspiracy theorists, a calculated smear deployed by the CIA to corral public opinion and silence dissent. This wasn’t just a tactic; it was a masterclass in psychological manipulation, a move so effective that it embedded doubt and derision into the American lexicon for generations.

Working hand-in-glove with mainstream media, the CIA spread the term through carefully crafted editorials and op-eds, funneling it into public consciousness. Prominent newspapers ran stories casting skeptics as unstable or even unpatriotic, embedding the term “conspiracy theory” as shorthand for lunacy. Through this alliance with the press, the CIA rewired public discourse, transforming critical thought into a sign of dangerous deviation — a subtle, insidious conditioning that persists to this day.

Three weeks after the election and the fallout from it, we are starting to appreciate the clarity of the vote. It explains much of the present, the past, and the future. - Victor Davis Hanson@VDHanson

Consider the following: 

1. Even Donald Trump’s enemies are beginning, albeit sheepishly and begrudgingly, to concede he proved indestructible in a way they never imagined...

2. For all the recent spin, post-election Kamala Harris is going nowhere but to a Dukakis-like retirement...

3. Trump’s 2024 victory clarifies his close 2020 Electoral College loss...

4. The Left is still catatonic and barking at the moon...
