Another day, another agency.

Finished all the paperwork last night, refined the resume once again, got my references in order.

Lots of hoops to jump through. I'll be glad when this process is complete and I am settled in a new job.

 

[Saint Peter]

Rent free!

Cold chills and achy feelings are gone. Headache is fading. Now I just have to survive the rest of this week and I can put "Peak Season" behind me for another year.

This morning's debate. Insurance company coming to inspect wood burning stove. I let it go out, in order to replace a fire-brick that broke. Didn't find said brick. Leave it cold, and wonder if they care or start a fire, so they can't look at bricks.

Hmmmmmm....

Hey, Pete! AJ seems to have a permanent home in your head. Are you charging him? Or is he living there rent free?

Rent free!

The author of the explosive new book about Donald Trump's presidency acknowledged in an author's note that he wasn't certain all of its content was true.

Michael Wolff, the author of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," included a note at the start that casts significant doubt on the reliability of the specifics contained in the rest of its pages.

Several of his sources, he says, were definitely lying to him, while some offered accounts that flatly contradicted those of others.

So on the FB this morning, my local people are raving about the new broadband interweb service. Best thing ever!!!!

The funny thing - this is Trumper country... like 95% of the vote here. We are Bootstrappy people who hate the government (Scots-Irish) and want the gubmernt to stop giving away free money!!!! Let those bums get a job!!!

The service, Neubeam, is part of a pilot program to expand broadband to rural areas. Funded by the government. Initiated by Obama. Soon to be cut by Trump.

 

[neci]

it sounds like cat derby in here.

i remember when we got government backed broadband in my semi-rural town (at the time, i've moved). it fucking sucked. not that that condemns the idea entirely. i'm pretty it was less the idea that sucked then it was the company that blew total ass. had it for less than a year before we told them to fuck off because of constant outages on the weekends when they weren't open.

like at all. come friday evening there was no one minding the store at all until monday morning. i think it was after the fourth time we lost service for the enitire weekend that we said fuck it. it was a good decision.

eta: that company is long dead, btw. they lasted maybe another year. fuck 'em. good riddance.

The waiting list at the local library for "Fire and Fury" is now over 250.

Same whiners whinging about the same things, everyday.

There is over 200 waiting at my local library as well.

If trolls were to put the same amount of time and effort in their real lives improving themselves as people as they do in posting on here, it would be a nicer place as they wouldn't be able to post anymore do to being so busy.

I live in a conservative district. Texas, go figure.

I guess everybody likes reading other people's dirt.

I live in a so called conservative area as well. Don’t forget the Trump’s base consistently hovers between 30% and 40%. The minimal policy he has managed to pass has been wildly unpopular.

I’m happy to see their self-righteous indignation wasted here.

The beauty in personal judgement statements is they can often be best applied to the person making them.

If they were capable of self-improvement, they wouldn't be them.

True.

I’m happy to see their self-righteous indignation wasted here.

Fair enough.

I do improve upon myself. That's why I don't live on here. I'm busy.

Its not dirt though...its gossip.

Open Letter To President Donald Trump

by Bob Tisdale



...The topics I normally discuss in my articles include:

*Climate models are not simulating Earth’s climate,
*When presented appropriately, climate model outputs clearly show that the climate science community still cannot differentiate between human-induced and naturally occurring global warming, and
*Since the early 1980s, surface temperature data clearly and strongly suggest that the surfaces of the global oceans warmed in response to naturally occurring ocean-atmosphere processes, not as a result of greenhouse gas emissions...
​

...I relied on numerous lengthy quotes from Margaret Thatcher’s memoire Statecraft that were included under the heading of HOT AIR AND GLOBAL WARMING.

The following are two of those quotes from Thatcher’s Statecraft.

The first paragraph under the heading of HOT AIR AND GLOBAL WARMING reads (my boldface):

The doomsters’ favorite subject today is climate change. This has a number of attractions for them. First, the science is extremely obscure so they cannot easily be proved wrong. Second, we all have ideas about the weather: traditionally, the English on first acquaintance talk of little else. Third, since clearly no plan to alter climate could be considered on anything but a global scale, it provides a marvellous excuse for worldwide, supra-national socialism.​

...Also, next is a paragraph written by the Iron Lady in Statecraft that you may find interesting, in light of your withdrawal from the subsequent Paris Agreement (my boldface):

Actually, President Bush was quite right to reject the Kyoto protocol. His predecessor had supported it for international effect, while knowing its provisions made it a dead letter at home: the US Senate had voted unanimously on the matter. The protocol would have placed all the burden for reduction of CO2 on developed countries, while leaving the developing countries — including India and China — to keep producing it at a rapidly growing rate. America’s target for cuts was totally unrealistic — a 7 per cent reduction of overall emissions of greenhouse gases below 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. And all this is before anyone considers the scientific arguments about why and to what extent global warming is occurring. Kyoto was an anti-growth, anti-capitalist, anti-American project which no American leader alert to his country’s national interests could have supported.​

He most certainly did not.
