SEC Sues Elon Musk for Fraud, Seeks Removal From Tesla
Then again, if he is removed, he could sell the stock and put all that money towards going to Mars!

This is the mind of the leftist progressive opened to scrutiny. You are the last line of defense. Police are great at cleaning up after the leftist has committed the crime, but not very good at prevention. Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans’ addresses, phone numbers released on Wikipedia pages
If they believe that middle America approves of these tactics they are wrong. There are consequences for boorish behavior. Senate panel backs Trump's Supreme Court pick Kavanaugh
They need to vote next week. They must confirm Kavanaugh or the red state Democratic Senators up for election will face consequences from their voters. Powerful quake rocks Central Sulawesi in Indonesia; buildings collapse as 2m tsunami hits Palu shore It would seem this is the season to limber up your check writing hand. We have hurricanes, Tsunami, and earthquakes from all sides. People will need help and Americans are always the people who provide that help. “We” must all sacrifice for the environment
This is a good outcome. The cost should be born by the cities. NASA: The chill of solar minimum is being felt in our atmosphere – cooling trend seen Global warming was always driven by the sun. Human involvement is de minimus at best. But because there was a correlation between some human activities and an increase in temperature, the environmentally religious working in climate sciences realized that they could use this increase in temperature to accomplish their long-term goals. It was a scam from the beginning. Or a religious crusade, but then what is the difference?! One chart shows what happened and why it so fooled the cultish climate scientists. Below is a graph of the HADCrut3 global temperature anomaly. Notice that the temperature before 1910 is stable, this is because the earth in the throes of the Little Ice Age and is very cold, the deepest, longest, coldest temperatures during the Holocene. From 1910, the temperature begins to rise pointing to the fact that the Little Ice Age has ended and the earth is moving back towards more normal temperatures. This brief warming trend is replaced in the late 1940s with a cooling trend which lasts until the late 1970s. It is replaced with a warming trend to the mid 1990s. That trend is followed by a flat trend to the present. The climate data and the solar data align nicely and the solar explains what is happening nicely. The climate alarmist carbon data does not align with the climate data at all, and does not explain what is happening. According to the global warming cultists themselves, global warming began in 1978 and runs to the present. The period from the early 1950s to 1978 was a time of declining earth temperature, and the amount of carbon being produced then was insufficient to cause global warming. But look at the graph above to see the real cause of the pre-1978 cooling trend, the 1978-1998 warming trend, and the current, post-1998, cooling trend. From the mid-1950s there is a clear cooling trend. This resulted in the fear-mongering in the mid-1970s of a new ice age. From 1978, there is a clear warming trend which peaks in the mid-1990s. From the mid-1990s, there is a clear cooling trend. This matches the earth's climate data well. The global alarmist's data is that man has been dumping carbon into the atmosphere since the 1950s in amounts which make it the primary driver of global temperature. If true, this requires that the global temperature will continually rise. It does not. The temperature initially falls until 1978, then for 20 years (1978 to 1998) it rises, and then it falls again. The climate alarmists have never explained why if carbon is the driver of climate that the human-driven rise in atmospheric carbon from 7,000 bc to the present did not cause the earth's temperatures to rise. The chart below shows both carbon and earth temperature based on the only worldwide proxy data reconstruction of temperature (Marcott). Under their theory, this should have happened, but did not. However, the solar theory can account for most if not all of these changes in earth's temperature. Unfortunately, we do not have enough data, either terrestrial or solar, to understand climate accurately. The global climate alarmists want you to believe otherwise but their inability to forecast climate or temperature even for a few years confirms this fact. Their models are so wildly inaccurate as to be no better and no less funny than a Monty Python skit.

The progressives believe the Millennials want to live in the same hell hole concrete jungles to which the Soviets and the Chinese subject their people. The Millennials, unsurprisingly disagree. From Disruption to Dystopia: Silicon Valley Envisions the City of the Future | Newgeography.com "Mark Zuckerberg, even as he fought to expand his own sprawling suburban homestead, envisions his employees living in crowded dormitories close to work, including a planned 1,500-unit apartment development near Facebook’s Menlo Park campus. Zuckerberg, like most oligarchs, prefers workers unengaged with the mundanities of family life. “Young people just have simpler lives,” he explained to the San Francisco Chronicle. “We may not own a car. We may not have a family. Simplicity in life is what allows you to focus on what’s important.'" By important, Zuckerberg means Facebook, not family, not community, not friends, and not recreation. Zuckerberg is a classical Soviet or Fascist. Both wanted the New Soviet/Fascist Man to be focused on what was important, the cause not family, friends, or recreation. They were to be housed in huge concrete mid-rise apartments close to the factories so the collectivized workers could spend time at work making the collective function. Zuckerberg is the perfect progressive. He knows better than you where you should live, how you should live, and what you should do. You only need to obey his directives, and you will live a rich, full life. He wants to be parent to the world as long as you are willing to obey. If not, the progressives will quickly kick you to the curb, unless you prove to be good fodder for their arguments. The reason is Ford had her testimony, only. She has no corroboratory evidence or testimony. The other people who knew Kavanaugh and Ford during the time in question dispute that the event happened and have no recollection of Ford or anyone else telling them of the event until the present.
Ford came across as believing herself, but with the fallibility of memory, that is not enough over the course of such a long period. Memory loss, memory embroidery, and memory filling all work to destroy memory over such long periods of time. She admitted to not knowing anything except for the act itself; this bodes against credibility. On the other hand, Kavanaugh had not just his memory but his calendar and all of the people who knew he and Ford at the time support his story, not hers. The calendar is important. I was able to recreate accurated memories of events long past by reviewing my law firm billing whips, my calendars, and my diaries. Without those tools my memory was far less accurate. Kavanaugh comes off as a credible man, and his reputation is impecable. Either Kavanaugh will be confirmed, or no conservative man will be able to be confirmed again. The Democrats will continue to create these issues and bring forward unsubstantiated allegations if they are successful here. The other factor weighing for confirmation is there are a significant number of Democratic Senators in states Trump won handily who are in hard fights for reelection. The polls show that Trump's supporters strongly support Kavanaugh and do not believe Ford. These Senators will have to weigh the difficult choice of voting against the party in the hopes of winning their seat after pissing off their voters or voting for the Kavanaugh confirmation. If they vote for Kavanaugh, they could use that vote in an attempt to persuade their voters to reelect them, while this would not be a sure thing, voting against Kavanaugh would be close to Senatorial suicide. Even with Jeff "Flakey" Flake voting, Kavanaugh should win confirmation. The Ford testimony is not sufficiently supported to meet the standard. What standard, well, I assume the Senators of conscience, none of whom are Democrats, are using the standard: Would a reasonable business person rely on Fords allegations and testimony if it affected them in the ordinary course of their business. I would not. Memories are too fallible over such long periods. Absent confirmation from high-quality witnesses or corroborating facts, Ford does not meet the standard. Kavanaugh will be confirmed. |
