I watched some of the hearing today and was impressed Pete’s performance. He didn’t get flustered and let the Dems embarrass themselves. The D women were particularly awful and ignorant. They really need to discontinue these confirmation hearings because they aren’t hearings. They are just sound bite fodder. They don’t actually even want answers to their questions. And frequently cut off any response that shows how stupid they are.

I’m all for transparency, but we don’t need to televise these hearings. It turns them into publicity seeking nonsense. Did you actually learn anything today?

Pete will be confirmed with possibly a couple Dem votes to boot. And it should hopefully teach the Dems to tread softly. They risk losing their seats if they continue to show just how stupid they are.

As I always say I take no prisoners. Tonight Ingraham had a good show but at the end said something stupid. She was talking with Failla about eating late night at the Waffle House, and believe me I know the place and in fact ate there yesterday. She said all you need to know is the blueberry compote on the pancakes. People there are no pancakes on the menu. There are WAFFLES! Hence the name. Get your shit together.

I haven’t been able to come up with a better title and am apparently less lazy than I thought. I was planning on doing this yesterday so I’m still lazy.

Now what’s this rant about? As one of you know and I have commented about before, in the case of chemical reactions and chemical processes there is a thing called mass balance. It means that absent a nuclear reaction, matter cannot be produced or destroyed. Basically if 100lbs of shit goes into a process then 100lbs of shit has to come out. It will certainly be different shit than went in but it will be 100lbs of the new shit.

Prior to Einstein that was scientific dogma. As you know he postulated and has now been proven correctly that in fact mass can be destroyed and converted into energy and a really big amount of energy because the mass destroyed is multiplied by the speed of light squared and that’s a huge number. I am sure that my readers know this but having seen all the street interviews and I would postulate that only about a quarter of the people in this country know what E=mc2 means and that’s sad.

So what I would like to see is something like the mass balances I did in school with respect to the global warming carbon neutral nonsense on the left. It can’t be done because the atmosphere is not a closed circuit like a chemical process and the factors involved are not necessarily related.

For one example, let’s look at EV’s v gasoline powered cars. It has been definitely shown that EV’s have a much bigger carbon footprint than gasoline powered vehicles. The mining to get the rare earth minerals that are necessary for their batteries involve massive use of fossil fuel vehicles and then recharging them requires massive amounts of energy that comes overwhelmingly from fossil fuels. And then the destruction of their batteries results in gross pollution of the planet.

Now for the real issue. The reason that we can’t really do a mass balance is because there isn’t a direct balance between their nonsense and reality. Diverting water into the ocean to protect fish no one cares about is not part of a carbon balance. However reality is that doing that resulted in wildfires emitted thousands of times more carbon into the atmosphere than all nonsense prevented. People one major volcanic eruption totally destroys all their bogus predictions.

Mother Nature rules and we don’t control the environment.

And I’m sure it won’t surprise you, but I predict that LA , at least the wealthy parts will be quickly rebuilt because the left cares about leftist elites. They don’t give a damn about us normals and actually the poor. They pretend to care but don’t. All they want is their votes.

Just look at what happened in East Palestine and Maui. Nothing has changed because they are not elites. Look no further than my own fellow citizens in western North Carolina. They are being ignored and I even saw over the weekend that they were going to be kicked out of temporary housing because their time expired! Fortunately they evictions were halted for a few days but they will still be kicked to the curb later this week. This is an abomination! Illegals are being put up in 5 star hotels with no limits. FEMA money has been transferred from what they’re supposed to do to supporting illegals. This is freaking insane.

Now heartless as I am, I’m not totally against giving my tax dollars to help rebuild LA but not to the wealthy elites. Either they have insurance or they have more than enough money to self insure and rebuild. I want any of my money going to the ordinary people there, and Trump needs to appoint someone to oversee any federal money and be responsible for approving all aid down to the individuals. We cannot just shovel out federal dollars to California and let them decide how to do it. It will just be graft and corruption like all the Covid money. None of it will get to those who truly need it..

I will be ranting on what I will call for lack of a better term the overall carbon balance when I quit being lazy l

I waited to post this because Mel Gibson was on Ingraham and I didn’t know if he would cover it. He didn’t and so I will. He was on Rogan yesterday and revealed a new use for ivermectin and it has nothing to do with Covid. And I’m sure that you all now know that had it been used during the pandemic, as I have commented on many times, that many lives could have been saved.

The reason for this rant is that he revealed a new use for ivermectin in combination with another drug that appears to be effective for people with stage four cancer. So I’m putting it up in case any of you should find yourself unfortunately in that situation or even lower stages so that you can demand that your doctor prescribe this treatment.

Let me explain just how stupid the leftists in California are. They want to do all kinds of stupid things in the name of global warming and CO2 emissions. Guess what? The wildfires are emitting hundreds of times more CO2 than all the bullshit they are trying to prohibit. Forest for the trees!

I was looking forward to watching the premiere of the new Hollywood Squares tonight but it wasn’t on. Now Whitney Cummings was going to be one of the squares and I really enjoy her comedy. However, her home was one of the homes destroyed in the fire, and I believe that they didn’t have the heart to put on show with people whose homes were destroyed laughing it up.

I saw today that many of the elites are turning on the leftist politicians who cost them their homes. They thought that they were above all the problems that affected all us normals. They thought that they were special. Smarter, richer and privileged. They were insulated from illegal alien crime and inflation and fly private jets and have whatever appliances and cars etc that they know are good. However, they forgot that they are not above Mother Nature!

The history of the advancement of the human species is a history of harnessing the power of nature and recognizing where we couldn’t. Southern California is basically a desert. Always has been and always will be regardless of your view of the climate change hoax. And there have always been wildfires given the make up of the landscape. We decided to develop it because of its beauty and weather. When we did, we took steps to assure that we had water to support it, and as I have said many times before and as Trump has emphasized, there is plenty of water if it is harvested and channeled to the places that need it. And we did it until the leftists took over the asylum and decided that stupid posturing was more important than reality. They decided that channeling vast amounts of fresh water into the ocean was more important because it might save an insignificant species of fish and that was more important than people. These are sick idiots.

And now the leftist elites have learned that Mother Nature doesn’t give a damn about how special they think they are. Build in a known wildfire area and fail to engage in forest management and then top it off by denying water to the area and see just how special you are!

The LA fires are a tragedy that could have been easily avoided as I have ranted about before. That’s not the purpose of this rant.

My take is maybe the Hollywood elite have learned their lessons. As pointed out by Nikki Glazer at the Golden Globes, they no longer have any influence in elections. But more importantly, they have now seen the results of their idiotic support of stupid policies. Their mansions have been burnt to the ground and it’s because of their stupid support of woke nonsense. Maybe they will wake up and quit backing ignorant leftists. When you lose your house because there was no water in the hydrants, maybe you will wake up to reality and vote for competence.

I have been to LA and the places that are burning and they are magnificent and gone because of stupidity. WAKE UP!

I tried to resist but I couldn’t. Last Saturday my gators lost at Kentucky 106 – 100 and dropped from 6 to 8 in the country. Tonight they beat, now former No. 1 Tennessee, the only remaining unbeaten team in the NCAA , by 30 points in Gainesville. That’s amazing!

The thing that one of the announcers said is undoubtedly true. This year it will be harder to win the SEC championship than it will be to win the NCAA. And there will be at least ten SEC teams in the dance. It is undeniably the best basketball conference in the country.
