I've mentioned my mother from time to time. Over the past 6 months, she declined quite rapidly and, last week, died at 103 years old. She leaves 46(!) direct descendants: 6 children, 16 grandchildren and 24 (and counting) great-grandchildren. Obituary here: legacy.com/ca/obituaries/the…; celebration of life next Sunday afternoon in Toronto.
as I mentioned last week, my 101-year old mother was one of 5 veterans honored at the Blue Jays baseball game on Canada Day. Here are a few screenshots from the TV coverage and a link to a recording of the event. 21 of the children and grandchildren went to the event. She was thrilled. myqnapcloud.com/smartshare/7…
my review of Al Gore's speech to AGU in 2006: climateaudit.org/2006/12/14/…
Here was the moment of discovery that Gore's crew had simply copied Mann's graph out of Thompson's paper without reading the caption that it was MBH's hockey stick.

here is a link to a presentation about her (and my) family history made at her 100th birthday.

Yup, the White House account published graphics earlier in the war that had FDD’s logo on it
in Al Gore's presentation, he presented "Dr Thompson's Thermometer" as a supposed confirmation of Mann et al (1998,1999). But his graph turned out to be a re-plot of Mann's hockey stick spliced with instrumental temperature - presented as a "confirmation" of itself.

There has also been important critiques of Thompson's dating of his tropical ice cores. The opposing case is that Thompson's dates are up to ten times too early.
Al Gore is a fraud.
My condolences to Lonnie Thompson, but his climate predictions were dead wrong.
In a 2002 paper authored by Thompson and 10 other scientists, they predicted that Mt. Kilimanjaro's permanent ice fields and glaciers would completely disappear within 15–20 years. But they're still there.
In his 2006 “documentary,” An Inconvenient Truth, Gore stated in reference to Thompson et al.'s prediction that “Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro.”
However, as of September 7th (the latest image I took from the live cam before it went down for maintenance), there's lots of snow atop the mountain.

back in 2000s, NASA cited IPCC warning that mountain glaciers in Himalayas (and Kilimanjaro) may disappear altogether.

My favorite climate alarmist talking point is that the fossil fuel industry is corrupt, but the insurance industry is not. I mean, it’s not like insurers would exaggerate perceived “climate risk” to increase profit or anything.
Insurance and banking have to take climate risk seriously, however much the fossil fuel industry lies and corrupts so it can pollute for free. Insurance is the climate canary.

The elite media absolutely never talks about how the Mexican left utterly crushed the corrupt narco-establishment in Mexico and instituted a wildly popular democratic socialist government that’s still going strong after eight years because they wouldn’t want to give you any ideas

Susie Wiles worked for Bibi Netanyahu in Israel, where she was (imho) subtly captured into the Greater Israel Zionist orbit. This is why the Feb 28 sneak attack was launched from Mar a Lago, with Susie Wiles present, but not J.D. Vance or Tulsi Gabbard. But with Bibi Netanyahu on the phone.

FDD is not a "think tank". It neither thinks nor exists in a tank of any kind.
It has one mandate, and that is to promote Israel's interests in the United States. That was actually its self-described mission statement when it was formed.
As an advocacy group for a foreign country it should be required to register under FARA, but I guess no one bothers with those technicalities anymore.
Given the disaster they have promoted so far in advocating for war on Iran, and given the drubbing the Trump administration received on Tuesday, one would think FDD would be PNG'ed in the mainstream media, but I guess Murdoch hasn't received the memo yet.

Daughter of right-wing Paraguay president Santiago Peña, who just resigned over crashing the economy and stealing half the country's savings, posted this story of herself with a shirt saying "Tax the Poor."
She goes to Columbia U btw, where tuition is 20x the average salary.
I worked in business for most of my life. I think that the development of public sector privilege has been the dominant class change in my working life. But I really wonder whether the "capitalism" in which corporations make most of their accounting profits in tax havens while ultra-rich own their shares in anonymous offshore corporations in even more obscure tax havens is the same "capitalism" that brought prosperity in the mid-20th century to mid-America.

DeSantis on Congressional Republicans:
“Why haven’t we done immigration? Shut off H1-B visas! Why haven’t we codified Trump’s immigration executive orders? Why haven’t we stripped jurisdiction from the federal courts over deportation cases? There’s so many things that could have been done, they didn’t even attempt it!”.
re-upping prior mention of Prokopenko xitter.twitterapi.xyz/AsaWinstanley/status/1…
Azov commander Denys Prokopenko recorded a video accusing those who exposed Azov’s secret torture prison in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka of smearing the military, discrediting Azov and pointed a finger at Russian attempts to destabilize the country from within.
You see, this is how it works in Ukraine. The people who get tortured and killed for refusing to die for Zelensky's criminal regime are the bad guys.
The real heroes here are the ones who torture and murder their own compatriots.
Watch some high treason charges appear against those who exposed this torture prison, like the brave medic, who was begging the police on her knees to let her in to give medical care to people held hostage inside and called the police to report it.
The former Rada Deputy Igor Mosiychuk reported on his telegram channel that she has already been arrested and the media has been given a command to discredit her.
:). So he would be arrested if he declared support for Palestine Action. But not if he declared support for genocide and his "opposition" to Palestine Action.
