Personally, I think the 2nd best of this year is Reacher. You can watch the whole of season 1 and it doesn't miss a beat. Just keeps getting better. And it didn't win a single Emmy so you know it hasn't been polluted with woke.

Oh, then there's that one where she's talking to her brother, Jamie and she says something like, "Wow, that's really deep. Did you get that from watching Ted Talks on YouTube?" You could work that one into a conversation here.

Beth is vastly quotable. "You are the trailer park. I am the Tornado."

Come to think of it November is going to be a good month for entertainment. Yellowstone season 5. The American midterms and hockey gets into full swing.

I eventually did get into it. Got addicted. November 13 and Season 5 can't come soon enough.

What about it? It's a big bill. Real big. There does seem to be more and more mass stabbings lately though. Pretty sure there was another one in Langley a few months ago. Then then was that big one with all the murders on the Indian reserve. Others too, I think. Apparently they're a real big problem in China but the media tries to keep it quiet.

If the Democrats lose the House that will be nice, but if the Republicans take both the House and the Senate that's a big thing. Maybe America can start to get back on its feet again like it did following Obama's loss of House and Senate. House and Senate is possible too. Races that were earlier thought to be in the bag for Dems are tightening.

Not necessarily. For example, my speculation is your agenda of pushing a coming human caused climate catastrophe is crap and I rarely have trouble substantiating that one. For example did you hear that data from the NOAA affiliated, Western Regional Climate Center shows this year was not California's driest on record despite what Tree Ring quakery from the odd associate professor and such might like you to believe?

So you admit you were wrong in presenting an associate professor as a professor then. That's OK live and learn. Bet you fell silly for being so puffed up in the chest about it at first though. Hey, as long as you're into learning now though, here's something you might be interested in knowing as far as associate professors and tenure goes. So in order to get and keep tenure it sounds like an associate has to be a good little postsecondary soldier and get in line with pushing the global elite agenda stuff like climate catastrophism even if it means offering up wishy washy, questionable sciency crap like Tree Rings.

Except it wasn't Meteorologist, Anthony Watts. It was a guest essayist on Anthony's award winning science blog. The author used data from the Western Regional Data Center and offered this graph showing this was not the driest year on record in California: Your "Professor" is not a professor. He's an associate professor which to me is more like what we used to call a TA, a tutorial assistant. Hope he sticks with it long enough to learn that tree rings are not considered a reliable proxy. Perhaps there's hope for him. If you want to make this about slurring sources, I mean. Also and I show you this below so you can tell people you now have a little bit of actual climate knowledge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Regional_Climate_Center

You know nothing. Stop proving it.

BTW Watt's is a meteorologist.

Sorry about that. Here ya go: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/11/22/worst-drought-in-california-history-not-really/ And here's the chart from the Western Regional Climate Center showing this was not the driest year in California's record:

There are no "levels" of Socialism if you're talking about the actual definitions. If want to start manipulating and reforming that definition to create a new prog-approved redefinition then I guess you could start massaging in more convenient terminology like "Democratic Socialism" or "Socialized economy." But they're not actual socialism. Actually I do it too. I have one I like as an alternate to Progressivism. I sometimes call it Progressive Socialism. Because that's the only real movement of progression in Progressivism.

Tell you what though Robosmith if you'd like to see what an actual Republican has to say about the "Southern Strategy" try this one: The myth of Nixon’s ‘Southern Strategy’

No they don't. They're all Proggy. One of them makes a one sentence reference from a book to someone your "fact checker" says is a Republican but my search engine has never heard of. Are you used to being able to bluff you're way around people who won't double-check or something?

I'm not cynical about adaptation. I'm on board with that.

I guess if it didn't happen in your lifetime it didn't happen then. Prog logic, I guess. An Essay at Watts using data from HERE disagrees.

I love the way you guys will lasso the ugly lame little calf out of context and bulk of content then present it as the whole herd of a selection of quoted paragraphs. How about this bit you prefer we'd ignore: I'm not sure how that makes police and the fire department socialist. Know why? Because it doesn't. Nor does this: Notice the emboldened bits. They tell us what's wrong with your idea if you want a fire department you're a socialist. Socialism is a doctrine that "calls for" control over "everything that people produce" as well as their property and it tells anyone that might benefit from your loss they are entitled to it. Equity, you see. Which means government tells you who will own and do what with you or your property to keep things their version of equal. You can have a fire department and still have choice. You can agree to a social contract where the broad based policy is equality of opportunity within a society. Equity does away with that. It decides on who gets what or does what, based on a proposed government approved outcome. It's the difference between a fire department and a teacher, as a matter of policy, deciding your child's gender regardless of your wishes.

The big problem with mitigation is it doesn't work. It doesn't achieve the results you're hoping for. Even if you get past all the basic bitches with things like wind and solar there's China and India. If they're not on board you're doing nothing but helping them take over your economy.

They don't exist. Drought itself is not the worst today it has ever been, so what makes you so sure a vibrant fossil fuel powered economy caused any you'd like to point your finger at today?

Traditionally Socialism was this: https://www.britannica.com/topic/socialism Then Progs decided the definition didn't suit their argument so they decided to do their redefiney thing and all of a sudden if you wanted Police and a fire department you were calling for socialism. And if you didn't think so you were a "fool" and a "clown." Personally I think if you swallow that you're a naive, malleable, no-nothing. Socialism sucks.

You know what it didn't say? This: And that was what I called BS on. But go ahead, keep telling I don't know what I meant. See how much luck you have with that one.

Show me how poor nations will make their way out of poverty by buying them wind mills. Did you ever get around to checking out the economist, Bjorn Lomborg? He'll go into great detail showing you how the poor are better served through adaptation than mitigation.

And mitigation wouldn't? Is that your point? If it is, it's a bad one.
