How do you like your newly oceanfront property? We don’t have to worry about those pesky fresh water lakes anymore now that melting Greenland has raised our ocean level about 130 feet.
The beach is almost back to the old sandy beach level along the Lake Wales Ridge. What’s old is new again. Old beach front is new beachfront.
Is Chris under water now? Or did he move? Did they build a 150 foot wall for the valuable real estate barrier islands and the spaceport?
And who said climate change never brought anything good to anybody?

The Democrat-run “media” (gag, barf, throw-up, gag-barf) is now on record eagerly supporting the highly illegal, unconstitutional, mafia-esque Coup attempt. Gee, it’s almost like you’d wonder if they weren’t an integral part of the plot. Will there will be any legal repercussions for “the media”? or does “freedom of the press” now include the magical right to plot the seditious, traitorous overthrow of a sitting American president?
If “the media” is allowed to get away with Worse Than Watergate, Deplorables are gonna be mighty, mighty irate, Mr. President.

No point in being irate.
I’m content to watch the MSM swirl down the toilet bowl.
This is their last hurrah, and historians will cite their political corruption as their epitaph.
Whether you are talking medicine (real or fake), UFOs, conspiracy theories (“The CIA killed JFK! No, It was the Mafia! No, it was both! You think it was just some nutty wannabee Communist with a cheap rifle, you must be crazy!”), ecology (“Humans are killing Holy Mother Gaia!”), vaccination, or especially politics, people tend to believe what they think they “know”. Never mind what the facts show, one way or another.
This is especially true in politics, where beliefs tend to equal power.
No one is more prone to a Semmelweis reflex than the sort Eric Hoffer called the True Believer.
And as Richard Hofstader pointed out, one reason there are so many conspiracy believers on the extremes (left and right) is that a lot of them have been “conspirators” themselves at one time or another. Always from the highest moral motivations, naturally.
Well, it sounds better than actually saying out loud what that little voice inside of them is perpetually screaming.
“I want absolute power so I can kill anybody who dares to disobey me.”

The Hungarians are so wise. Take that common belief put forth today that a wall has no effect.

The wall was 99.4+% effective one month after it was installed along Hungary’s Southern border to be the focal point in stopping the Islamic hijrah invasion to conquer Europe.

A wall is a great TOOL in defense of borders, but is not defense in and of itself. If we’re not willing to kill or maim an invader trying to breach it, then it is still of limited effectiveness.

Is it real or is it smoke and mirrors ? For two years I have watched them attack and ridicule President Trump and everyone associated with him . Since he is a Washington outsider they are doing everything they can to destroy him. It has just shown me how absolutely corrupt the leadership is in Washington. The situation makes me feel that we are not in a Constitutional Republic but a Oligarchy. The ruling class and us peasants. But since I’m not a part of the Washington scene. I really do not know what is going on in Washington. Just what I am told . No wonder my trust in Government is gone.
