‘Little Ice Age’ which froze the River Thames caused by Americas genocide, study finds

That’s the conclusion of scientists from University College London, UK. The team says the […]
The very final sentence
This, courtesy of DB, is *very* BBC: Yes, the poor "Muslim man's request for an imam to be present at his death in Alabama" is the story for the BBC - another tale of poor hard-done-by Muslims in Trump's America. And, as DB says, you do indeed have to go to the very final sentence of the BBC report to discover his crime: "He was sentenced to death in 1999 for raping and murdering a 15-year-old girl in 1995." Less agenda-driven media outlets would have mentioned that earlier.

A curious Arctic wolf visits Ottawa biologist in his tent
Sokoloff is a plant biologist at the Canadian Museum of Nature and has just returned from a three-week expedition charting the plants of several Arctic sites. He was at Lake Hazen on Ellesmere Island when he woke up in the bright Arctic night and saw an Arctic wolf poking its head through his tent door. “Just its face (came in), thank God,” he said. “I took a picture because that’s the first thing you think of when a wolf comes into your tent. I started yelling at it. It’s 1:30 in the morning, so I’m waking up the rest of the camp. “Troy (another biologist) hears this and he sta... more »

Michael Mann's quantum climate pseudoscience
Michael Mann is the most notorious fraudster in the global warming scam. He was the key man in the team that constructed the "hockey stick graph" of temperatures in the recent millennium or two.

Given it's just a song, the explanation is very accurate but I still prefer more accurate explanations than songs.

These nations are quietly dismantling the seven-decade-old alliance with the United States and building alternative systems o... more »

If they were required to show it works, the way pharmaceutical products must, they'd be out of business.

The United States spent $610 billion in 2018 on defense, roughly one-third of all military spending on the planet—but that doesn’t mean that money is always being used efficiently. Over thirty years, the U.S. Army has engaged in two long-term wars and several briefer ones without replacing the major weapon systems which entered service in the 1970s and 80s.
