Context —

we won't know who you donated to because maybe there's some kind of company process to make it easy so they don't just go to a website. They do something internally and then it gets summed up and sent to the politicians maybe. So in the real world there's no such thing as the employees independently decided to give to a candidate. That's not really a thing. There are lots of individuals who do on…

y to get her in the state. Every part of that is screaming incompetence.

Let me tell you how Trump would have handled that. Joe Rogan invited me on the show. Okay schedule it. That was it. That's all she needed to do. And did he ever say oh I can't go on these days because people will judge me from what state? No it had nothing to do with the fact that he was likely to win the state because arguably Trump didn't have a reason to go either because he was going to win the state anyway. But he just said where is the show? I'm going to go to the show because it's the most important platform in 2024. So it's quite amazing to see the competence difference in the campaign.

Meanwhile Democrat Arizona governor Katie Hobbs is being asked to explain what happened to 339 million dollars that quote disappeared from the state budget. Huh. Meanwhile her budget director mysteriously resigned. Okay does this sound like the Treasury Department story? The moment the budget bug is being questioned because there's a massive amount of money that's missing the budget director quits. Wait what? The budget director quits. That doesn't sound good.

So there is suspicion that 339 million dollars went where it shouldn't. The Gateway Pundit is reporting on this. They've been all over it. And one of the state reps talked to the Gateway Pundit and said quote maybe somebody's siphoning off some funds and then he clarified maybe some are mistakes who knows but they don't match up. So the spending in the budget I guess don't match. Something doesn't match. We'll see.

And then also Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft is writing about this. One of the things that we hope to find out under the Trump administration is if there's anything else to know about the Seth Rich story. Now historically I've mostly been a skeptic about that really being related to anything important and that it looked probably more like a random crime even though there were a ton of coincidences involved. I get it. I get it. Hillary, hint hint, Clinton etc. So I understand the suspicion about it but this is interesting.

So apparently the FBI is still stalling, refusing to turn over the Seth Rich records to an attorney Ty Clevenger and he's been trying to get them for years and he keeps being denied. Now what happens when Kash Patel gets in the office if he does? Is Kash going to say yeah just release all that Seth Rich stuff? I don't know. And I've heard that Kash has seen some of the other secret files like he's seen the UFO files, he's seen the Kennedy files. Do you think he's also seen the Seth Rich files? Don't know but it could get interesting. Maybe something will happen there.

Meanwhile according to Anthony Watts at the Climate Change Dispatch the AP is doing a story that projects millions of European heat deaths using the debunked model. Now so the AP has a story that says a whole bunch of people are going to die from too much heat in Europe. The model that they used to model this risk, it's even got a name.

Context —

The name is called the RCP 8.5. So I think that means that there are a bunch of different scenarios. You know if this and that happen it looks like this but if this and that happen it looks like this. So this is one of those but it's the most extreme one and the one that literally nobody thinks is real. So the AP wrote a story based on a climate model that even the climate scientists say what you'…
