  1. It occured to me yesterday, as I watched a delayed press briefing by the Destroyer in Chief, that something was definitely not right about the response and the presentation of same. 

    They already knew that one of the ballistic missles fired by Iran had taken out the commercial airliner that crashed in Tehran.

    This morning…I'm certain. It explains a lot. Wait until the truth is widely exposed…the finger pointing begins soon.

    1. Actually, I think this morning's brief is that the airliner was taken out by an air defense system missile. That makes a lot more sense than an accidental hit by a ballistic missile – and would be a definite "oops" on the part of Iran's defense forces.

      1. I think the Ukranian investigators have found fragments of a Russian Tor M-1 missle in the suburbs SW of Tehran near the crash site, and there is also a video of the crash that shows a large explosion within the plane seconds before the crash.  No distress calls prior to the crash. Not mechanical failure.  

    1. Perhaps he is channeling an earlier memory….

      "409"
       

      She's real fine my 409
      She's real fine my 409
      My 409

      Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes
      (Giddy up giddy up 409)
      For I knew there would be a time
      (Giddy up giddy up 409)
      When I would buy a brand new 409
      (409, 409)
      Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409…

      Nothing can catch her
      Nothing can touch my 409
      409 ….

      When I take her to the track she really shines
      (Giddy up giddy up 409)
      She always turns in the fastest times
      (Giddy up giddy up 409)
      My four speed dual quad posi-traction 409
      (409, 409, 409, 409)

    1. Your website's factual reporting in picture form:

       

      CONSPIRACY-PSEUDOSCIENCE

      Sources in the Conspiracy-Pseudoscience category may publish unverifiable information that is not always supported by evidence. These sources may be untrustworthy for credible/verifiable information, therefore fact checking and further investigation is recommended on a per article basis when obtaining information from these sources. See all Conspiracy-Pseudoscience sources.

      • Overall, we rate Watts Up with That a strong pseudoscience and conspiracy website based on the promotion of consistent human influenced climate denialism propaganda.

        1. I'm curious. What exactly is Roger Edwards' background (i.e., employment history, education level)? 

          Other than raising Bassett Hounds, shilling for Trump, and running a nomination contest against Mike Coffman, what is his background? 

          1. Roger is a Vietnam vet who served honorably. He owns a successful trucking business. I don’t know about education, but he could tell you if he wants to. 
             

            I once mistook Roger for another Vietnam vet of the same name. The other guy was a con man  and I gave Roger a bunch of grief about it, for which I apologized.

            If you ever meet Roger in person, you’ll find him to be genial and charming. He’s just really, really conservative and believes everything Fox News and the most extreme rightie sites tell him.

            1. Proverbs 26:

              24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

              25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

    2. Pfruit, it's so fraudulent that one of the largest G&T's in the western United States just announced they will soon be 'coal free'.  Keep in mind, this is the same entity that funded the 'War on Rural Colorado' campaign, dropped millions into a rat hole, the Kansas coal plant in Holcomb, and expended significant resources trying to kill Amendment 37 in 2004. 

      Tri-State announces retirement of all coal generation in Colorado and New Mexico

      Tri-State’s commitment to the early closure of all the coal facilities it operates, and upcoming actions to be announced next week as part of its Responsible Energy Plan, fundamentally transform the cooperative power supplier, while maintaining its strong financial position.

      “We are leading to be the cleanest, most flexible and most competitive cooperative power supplier for the benefit of our members, the communities they serve and the states we live in,” said Highley.

    3. Rant on, PP.  You can choose to not believe the science, but the science doesn't care.  Neither does the planet.  It'll continue to heat up and wreak havoc on human civilization and the species.  But keep fiddlin', it's what you lot do best

       

  2. Poor Pear. He just can't stop believing all the anti-climate hysteria being put out by What's Up. I particularly "loved" the January 6 article from Jay Lehr and Tom Harris that nothing is really happening with climate change.

    Then I noticed that both Lehr and Harris are still affiliated with the Heartland Institute in the Midwest, a notorious climate change denier. And as I recalled from reading Mr. Harris before, he is a mechanical engineer, not a climatologist.

    Even if the global warming story turns out to be not fully accurate, at least in terms of human involvement, Pear should know that the prudent conservative always takes steps.

    Here's a web site that is far more authoritative:

    1. Poor Pear. He just can't stop believing all the anti-climate hysteria being put out by What's Up.

       

      When Journey did "Don't Stop Believin', I don't think that's what they meant.
