China's spy balloon: A new cold war unfolds before our eyes

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  last year

“Beijing is waging a cold war against us, and its leaders would prefer that we remain ignorant of this fact and divided in our response to it.”

Bit by bit, step by step, the significance of 'spy balloons' is carefully being revealed.  And it really has nothing to do with spying.  The foreign policy of the United States desperately needs to replace Russia as a protagonist.  The rule-based international order has isolated and contained...

Poll: The political state of Biden presidency remains lackluster

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  3 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  last year

“The state of the Biden presidency is not as strong as the 2022 midterm results suggested.”

So, the public sees Biden as likeable but incompetent.  The polling numbers kinda summarizes Biden's stint as Vice President, too.  History is repeating itself regardless of pundit spin. Democrats are hoping (and praying?) that Trump will be the Republican nominee.  And the press will push that...

Biden enters year with low approval ratings despite midterm boost

“There are a lot of variables here that nobody can really predict”

There may be a lot of unpredictable variables but Biden's performance as President has been quite predictable.  Biden still enjoys strong support among Democrats which means winning the nomination won't be difficult.  But there aren't enough Democrats to give Biden a general election win.  Biden...

Ban Electric Ranges! A Progressive Freakout from an Alternative Universe

“do you think your electric range is more important than your child not burning to death?”

Liberals stirred the cesspool and raised a stink for the sole purpose of raising a stink.  That seems to be the entire point of being 'woke'.

Ahead of Biden's first border trip, administration renews amnesty calls as illegal migrant numbers surge

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  6 Comments  •  10 Likes  •  last year

“The Biden administration is again pushing a sweeping immigration bill that would see millions of illegal immigrants put on a fast track to U.S....”

How will amnesty and a pathway to citizenship provide resources to manage the flow of people across the border?  Biden's version of 'immigration reform', at the least, implies that citizenship ends the drain on resources.  If we handed citizenship papers to illegal immigrants as they get off the...

Biden to Visit Southern Border Amid Fresh Crackdown on Migrants

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  13 Comments  •  5 Likes  •  last year

“A surge of migration has made El Paso one of the most vivid symbols of the decades-long breakdown in America's immigration system.”

The most galling part of the political narrative being concocted is that we're supposed to believe Biden is actually cracking down on illegal immigration.  The left is trying to sell the Brooklyn Bridge again. The problem has festered into a crisis simply because Biden has been trying to kick...

National park closed following arrival of 300 migrants

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  13 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  last year

“This shows a lack of a working plan by the federal government to deal with a mass migration issue that was foreseeable”

So, it was necessary to close the park for the safety of visitors and staff?  Doesn't that suggest that illegal immigrants flooding into the country pose a danger? Hey, Kamala, you have a ready made work force that can build, staff, and operate shelters for illegal immigrants.  Biden wants to...

Why Don't We Cover Every Parking Lot with Solar Panels?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  9 Comments  •  1 Like  •  last year

“Solar panel parking lot covers are a win for drivers and the environment, yet they're still pretty rare. Here's why.”

Yeah, covering parking lots with solar panels sounds like a good idea.  After all, parking lots are essentially dead space only used to store vehicles.  But the numbers sprinkled throughout the story suggests that good idea isn't necessarily practical. First of all, covering parking lots with...

Does consciousness explain quantum mechanics?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  10 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  last year

“A wild theory suggests that consciousness may explain quantum mechanics, by forcing the subatomic particles to choose one concrete outcome.”

No, consciousness does not explain quantum mechanics.  And inappropriately labeling pseudo-science as philosophy does not mark any sort of intellectual prowess.  These pseudo-scientific meanderings can just as easily be attributed to legalizing recreational drugs. Observation only transforms an...

Winter Storm Elliott? Blizzard? Bomb cyclone? What happened to calling it 'weather'?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  5 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  2 years ago

“The pre-Christmas winter storm poised to sweep the country requires some terms beyond the typical snowmageddon and snowpocalypse. Here are some ideas.”

Okay, then what should it be called when hell freezes over?
