hurch, just drove it right through a window or something and then started shooting and then set it on fire and by the time the law enforcement got there they took him out in the parking lot. So he's dead now. But was that the only shooting yesterday? No. There was a gunman that fired from a boat into a North Carolina restaurant, killing three

and wounding five. Wow. Wow. And believe it or not that man was also an ex-military guy. Yep. Two ex-military guys decided to shoot up a populated place. They were both white, in case you're wondering. But we don't know about their political leaning or anything like that. We'll find that out. Anyway, the one who shot up the restaurant is known to local police, so that could mean almost anything.

There's a lot of chatter on social media about whether Bill Clinton was basically a MAGA-compatible leader in his day. And the argument for that is that he liked strong borders. I think he cut welfare at one point, right? Or made people work to get it. But the counterargument is that he expanded health care and etc. So some say he was basically Trump. But not quite. Hillary was for strong borders and shipping people back as soon as possible. So she was basically Trump not that many years ago. And Elon Musk was noting the similarities but other people say no, there are too many differences, you can't call them that.

According to the No Tricks Zone publication, P. Gosselin is writing that in 2025 the Arctic sea ice minimum neared blah blah blah, but essentially it's been rising steadily for almost two decades. So climate change models would tell you that that ice would melt almost every year. So it should be a lot less after two decades but in fact it went up. So there's one of your climate change predictions. Nope. Opposite.

But at the same time also on climate change they found some overestimate they were making. This is from Mandy Carr at The Cool Down. So they did a new study in Greenland and they learned more about melting ice sheets and realized that the climate models were totally wrong on that one variable, the melting ice sheets, and that it was a kind of a big deal and could change the results and what you think of it. Now that's just two stories that were in the news just today. How many stories have I read you in the past year or two that were, uh oh, we just found out something in our climate model was terribly wrong.

At this point the only way you could believe that climate change is the threat that people say, the only way you could believe that is if you believe that climate change is the only science that's valid because almost everything else is complete, you know what. Why would climate change be the only exception? Oh yeah. Everything else is fake data from our job numbers. Job numbers are fake. Everything basically everything's fake. Everything except climate change. So in order to believe it you would have to believe everything's fake except climate change.

The UK prime minister Keir Starmer says that climate change is one of the main reasons he believes why the millions of third world military age Muslim men are coming to the UK according to Wall Street Mav on X. So apparently Wall Street Mav is pointing out apparently they weren't safe from climate change in any of the other 50 plus countries. No, the only place they would be safe is in the UK. So that's why they came. No, Keir Starmer. Apparently you don't know anything about anything. Nobody came because of climate change. Nobody. Not one person said, "You know what? Given this climate change I better get myself to the UK right away." Not one person. And he's trying to sell that. Now I wonder why Starmer has the lowest approval that we've ever seen from a UK prime minister. Well it could be because he says dumb stuff like that.

I saw a video by Peter St. Onge. He's got a strong resume and he says that up to 90% of published academic studies are false, meaning they can't be replicated. 90% of published academic studies are false. And that would include, he points out, things about cancer drugs, global warming, gender mutilation, and even vaccines. So the NIH wants to figure out how to make science real again because at the moment science isn't even real. It's just not real. If 90% of it is just made up and you can't tell what's in the 90 and what's in the 10, science is not real and maybe hasn't been real for a long time.

So Professor John Ioannidis years ago determined that 97% of studies of pharma drugs are fake. So if you see any study of any pharma test where they're comparing one new drug to the existing drug 97% of the time it's fake and that's the only thing we do to approve drugs is the thing that's 97% fake. Not just wrong. Not just wrong but intentionally fake. So there's your peer review right there. Useless.

So I'll say it again. Given that 90 or 97% of all studies are fake, in order to believe that climate change is just what they said you would have to believe that that was a wild exception. And I'm not saying climate change real or not real. I'm saying that all of the subsets of that so-called science, there'd be so many elements of that, so many parts that they think they needed to put into the model that if 90% of the subsets are wrong, well you're probably not going to be right with your climate models.

The Georgia State Election Board has voted to subpoena 2020 election physical ballots. So the Gateway Pundit is writing about this. Now all this election stuff gets really complicated but I believe the allegation is that in 2020 if they had access, which they might get now, to the ballots but also the envelopes that they arrived in and that the main thing they want to check, the easiest thing is does the number of ballots match the number of envelopes because nobody should be taking any ballots in like just holding them in their hand. So if you found that there were a whole bunch of ballots but they did not equal the number of envelopes that would be not proof but it would definitely be leading toward looks like there's a whole bunch of fake ballots because they don't have an envelope. So I don't know. We'll see. There's 20,000 votes that are in question for 2020.

I don't want to get excited about any of these possibilities because every time we got excited it's like, whoa, looks like they got the goods on them this time. It never really wo

rks out, does it? And I'm not sure why that is. Like why is it that there have been so many allegations that didn't work out? Maybe that's just the way it always is. Maybe it's always 25 to 1 allegations to reality when it comes to anything complicated like an election. So maybe all right. I saw somebody say that guns were going to be banned in Canada and I thought, what? They're not going to ban…
