They’re flying so thick and fast it is amazing.
Take heart – there will be a Meme Overflow and a Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow too. Last week’s Overflow-Overflow.
Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:
- Ridicule cannot easily be fought
- Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
- For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.
Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

Assuming there is an election in 2024 – on which, IMHO, I will lay odds less than 50-50 – I will still vote. But I have no hopes it will actually accomplish anything, and it will merely be my last-gasp attempt to assuage my conscience before when the avalanche really gets going.

Judith Curry: How Climate “Science” Got Hijacked by Alarmists
The original article is gone, but here’s an archive link to a critique of the FIRST 97% stat that was bruited about:
In fact, the “97 percent” statistic was drawn from an even smaller subset: the 79 respondents who were both self-reported climate scientists and had “published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change.” These 77 scientists agreed that global temperatures had generally risen since 1800, and that human activity is a “significant contributing factor.”
77 out of 79 cherry-picked data points? Wow, that’s overwhelming. Not. And then there’s another such 97% stat, also ripped to shreds:
Cook’s 97% Scam Debunked | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT (wordpress.com) (bolding added, link in original):
Jose Duarte, expert in Social Psychology, Scientific Validity, and Research Methods, has actually called the Cook paper “multiply fraudulent”, and, as far as I know, Cook has taken no action to challenge the claim. This, as much as anything else, shows just what a con trick the whole business was. How many scientists, after all, would accept being called fraudulent without taking action?

Remember, like Curry, I used to be a climate alarmist and changed my mind. For more, ongoing, on glo-bull climate change:

Is the Earth’s Climate History Largely a Fraud? | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)
So the Earth’s temperature “record” has been subjected to endless adjustments and alleged corrections by the very people who are trying to use that record to justify billions of dollars in payments to themselves. In any other context I know of, this is considered corrupt and perhaps felonious.
…
Observation trumps theory. What is extraordinary about our current situation is that the people who created the self-interested and politically-motivated models also control the temperature record, and they have been changing it to make their models, and their entitlement to billions in government grants, look better.This is, in my opinion, the greatest scandal in the history of science.
Just look at this graph – hopefully animation carries through – from here:
The right side goes up; the left side doesn’t change or even goes down a tad. Funny how “adjustments” work. And a great piece:

Klein’s statement is perfectly in line with Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, and in fact is almost an echo. Figueres acknowledged earlier this year that the environmental activists’ goal is not to spare the world an ecological disaster, but to destroy capitalism.

Right on cue as the CDC starts calling for annual Covid Jabs…
I wonder if Mayor Maskolini will renew his face diaper diktat. And it’s already starting:
Related to all this, above, at least to me… remember a post or three ago how I mentioned that I went diabetic last year?
So now, this:
Vaccines are causing most Type I diabetes (kirschsubstack.com)
But I don’t think that’s what did it for me, though there may have been vaccine damage over the years. Only He knows. But since these two papers came out about people who developed Type I diabetes after the Jab:
Jab and Type 1 Diabetes
Jab and Type 1 Diabetes 2
Plus news of shedding from the Covid Jabs for years, comes this tidbit about the possibility – I need proof, dammit! – of the mRNA itself transferring from “vaccinated” to others.
mRNA Vaccine Can Spread Through Physical Contact ADMITS Pfizer!
My wife got two initial shots and at least one more (that I know of). We’re in close contact living in the same house. Occasionally *cough* very close. Given the timing of my (very unusual for an adult my age) launch of Type 1 diabetes, along with my tinnitus (also a known Jab symptom), I am now searching to see about tests for spike production. In the meantime I’m taking action with nattokinase, bromelian, NAC, curcumin, dandelion root, and other things.
If, indeed, I did “acquire” the mRNA, well, I won’t say here.
Reprising, all my Covid-related cartoons here.

I and many others have said that political correctness will kill people. And it has, here and elsewhere.
Very similar to this quote:
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.”

From this article – interesting in its own right IMHO – comes this quote by Henry Kissinger:
Ukraine: An Expendable Country May Soon Run out of Expendables – American Thinker
To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal
Ukraine is finding this out. There’s a quote – trying to find it – but assuming I don’t some guy from southeast Asia, IIRC Cambodian, said his biggest mistake was trusting the United States. The Afghans learned this recently too.
>>>>>=====<<<<<
Regarding that image above, see the quote I used here (bolding added):
IN 1974, FORMER ALGERIAN PRESIDENT HOUARI BOUMEDIENE SAID IN A SPEECH AT THE UN:
“ONE DAY MILLIONS OF MEN WILL LEAVE THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE TO GO TO THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. AND THEY WILL NOT GO THERE AS FRIENDS. BECAUSE THEY WILL GO THERE TO CONQUER IT WITH THEIR SONS. THE WOMBS OF OUR WOMEN WILL GIVE THE VICTORY.”
Millstones are expensive and will be needed after the collapse. 3-4 cinder blocks ganged together should work as well.
I ask Biden supporters who deny there was any election fraud “So, what’s the innocent explanation for this”? “It’s been explained”. “So what’s the explanation”. They can’t answer. Because they have none that they can articulate, which is interesting to me – but more telling is the fact that the great glowing screen has decreed it’s been explained, so they just believe it has.
Aside: I see so many of my own fellow Jews absolutely continuing to cleave to the Democrats and supporting Biden, regardless of the evidence of the growing Jew hate on the Left… I see them cleaving to their Tikkun Olam fetish, misusing the idea of doing good as a rationalization for their liberalism… and I can’t help but have this image that – for the vast majority of American, indeed, global Jewry – we have abandoned Hashem en masse, instead having adopted Wokeness / “Social Justice” as the new golden calf.
Please see this quote from a Rabbi on American Jews (link in the original):
As Jonathan Neumann puts it in his excellent book To Heal the World?, American Jews have been led to believe that “the purpose of the Jews in the world is to campaign for higher taxes, sexual permissiveness, reduced military spending, illegal immigration, opposition to fracking, the banishment of religion from the public square and every other liberal cause under the sun — all in the name of God”.
It’s not Jewish, just, or even very social, constituting a mish-mash of Marxism, moral relativism and paganism.
So three-quarters of American Jews have contracted a kind of religious auto-immune disease, which has caused them to junk the stuff that will protect their spiritual health while eagerly embracing the stuff that will destroy it.
Golden Calf, indeed.
I can easily see how burning an actual rainbow flag would be charged as “hate speech” – even as those doing so routinely burn Old Glory. I wonder what reaction I’d get if I burned a UN flag (or a WHO or WEF banner) publicly. Hmmm…

Covid, The Jab, and Broadly Related:

Say, anyone remember that the WEF bigwigs had unJabbed pilots? I found this:
Now what’s interesting is that the above is surrounded by a veritable swarm of “fact-checked” articles saying it’s not so. Which, in my book, gives it more credibility. As Bismark said, never believe something until it’s been officially denied.
So he uses his position to help Murderna make buckets of cash, then he gets a sweet job with them. MHO is that he could probably play video games all day and he’d still be a positive ROI.

Pick of the post:
For sheer deliciousness, on multiple levels.
Look, I get that someone’s BBQ in another yard can be obnoxious. But living in modern society requires some level of flexibility and living in a close-in neighborhood some forgiveness and tolerance. It’s not like they were doing it in her yard, it’s not like they were delivering dishes full of the stuff to her door, and it’s not like they were holding a barbecue deliberately to piss her off… but she complained. And not just complained… sued.
FA – FO.
IMHO she deserves every burnt-flesh molecule that crosses here olfactory nerves.
