MY BODYGUARD: A report from my high-security appearance at USD Law School last night.

VDH: Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change.’ “For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned:”

Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank.

Everything from declining fertility to forest fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change.

But the causes of both demographic crises and charred landscapes were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that saw child-rearing as too expensive and time-consuming, and misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting.

Yet reality has caught up with the near-religious climate change cult.

One, the left-wing tech billionaires—exemplified by former climate change zealot Bill Gates—have become apostates of the green movement. Now they do not warn of a planet threatened by too much man-made heat but rather by too little man-made kilowattage.

They believe artificial intelligence will prove as transformative as the Industrial Revolution. But to win the AI revolution will require vast increases in electricity production, of up to a staggering 100 gigawatts a year of additional capacity.

Such enormous demand—to build the equivalent of a hundred huge power plants per year—is far beyond the ability of “renewables” alone.

Instead, the only solution is an “all of the above” strategy of building more nuclear, natural gas, clean-coal, wind, and solar generation plants.

How much more advanced would American nuclear technology be today if it wasn’t for the Luddite rockers who pounded the stage during the 1979 “No Nukes” concerts? From ‘No Nukes’ to Nuclear Now: The progressive energy flip.

MAMDANI-ENDORSEE FINDS IT REPREHENSIBLE TO APOLOGIZE FOR ‘A TERROR ATTACK THAT A COUPLE PEOPLE DID:’

Remember back in 2022 when Rep. Ilhan Omar was speaking to a gathering of CAIR and referred to 9/11 as the day that “some people did something”? Now, a woman whom New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, whose father’s second cousin was afraid to wear a hijab on the subway because of that something, has endorsed for the New York State Assembly a woman who describes 9/11 as “a terror attack that a couple people did.” We wonder 1) how old she was on September 11, 2001, and 2) what university she graduated from, because she hits all the talking points: capitalism, racism, white supremacy, colonialism, etc. And why should anyone apologize for 9/11 when America and the West haven’t apologized for all of the genocides they’ve caused?

Good and hard, Fun City:

Meet Aber Kawas.

Zohran Mamdani just endorsed her for a New York State Assembly seat in Queens.

METFORMIN UPDATE: A Common Diabetes Drug Is Linked to ‘Exceptional Longevity’ in Women.

21ST CENTURY QUESTIONS: Whither Matrons?

Our society needs matriarchs and patriarchs, or matrons and father figures, if you prefer. Young people are floundering, incompetent, badly educated, possessing few skills, and trained to see everyone born before them as stupid old boomers. What used to be a “generation gap” is now a yawning chasm.

Because of our non-parenting of the past two-three generations, the hierarchy has been inverted. We older people with experience are cast as the dummies, the stupid olds, who don’t know as much as a 20 year old. It’s pure inversion (remember, inversion is the basis of Cluster B/narcissistic/devil thinking).

This means that not only are young people ill-educated in politeness, decent dress, basic human communication skills, along with not knowing arithmetic and not achieving an adult reading level—they’re also hostile to the idea that they don’t know something, or that an older person can be a help to them.

None of this happened by accident.

MAYBE NOMINATE WOMEN WHO AREN’T AWFUL? “Maybe it would be better to ask this other question, my question: When will we ever get to evaluate a female presidential candidate as just another presidential candidate? We’ve been nudged too many times to pick the woman because she is a woman. It makes people wary. I mean, really, why was Kamala Harris foisted on us? So, yeah, she got ‘whomped.'”

GOOD AND HARD, FUN CITY: Zohran Mamdani Just Declared NYC a City of…What?

Mamdani declares New York “is a city of international law,” and as such, “he will do whatever he can to enforce the international arrest warrant against PM Netanyahu if he visits New York, even if it is during a visit to the UN General Assembly.”

"I believe this is a city of international law"

well, it's not. it's a city of american law, and in this country if a lunatic marxist theater kid attempts to arrest a foreign head of state he simply goes to prison. hope this helps. https://t.co/So2xYpdQCr

MODERN PROBLEMS: Tesla safety driver falls asleep during passenger’s robotaxi ride. “In fact, the safety driver fell asleep three times during the ride, which took place a little over a week ago, according to Reddit user ohmichael. In his post, which contains a 12-second clip of a man sleeping and then waking in the front seat of a moving Tesla, the poster says he contacted Tesla to report this behavior but never heard back.”
