aw his opponent and Hitler and I don't know Stalin or somebody and he only had two bullets he would put both of the bullets in his opponent and let Hitler and Stalin live which is sort of an old joke just a form of an old joke. But his text messages got out and now people are calling for him to drop out. Here's my problem with this. I have a rule that if it's a private conversation that the perso…

Do you think that the UK is going full Donald Trump and that they realize that they're going to have to do something about the migration situation or close up the country because they're done? I feel like the existence of Trump makes it possible for the UK to adjust because if they see that he did and that the US is getting on a firmer footing and recovering from over migration, if they see that we can do it they're probably going to be able to do it. But if it doesn't work anywhere, if there's no country that gets tough and ships people back, it just doesn't happen anywhere. They probably won't do it either. So this is another one of those situations where the shadow or the vibration or the secondary effect from Trump being Trump probably helps other countries a lot. This would be one example of that.
So there's a story I think the Daily Skeptic had this story a few months ago. But the Met Office that's in Great Britain, I guess that's where they do their climate change calculations, the Met Office. But apparently this is so funny that data from more than 30 percent of its temperature sites are just made up. So over time a lot of the temperature measuring sites either go bad or they go out of service or maybe somebody builds an airport next to it so it's no longer reliable for the temperature. But over in the UK they've been blamed with fabricating data for more than 30 percent of their reporting sites. If you're making up the, now of course they would say that their estimates are responsible. So they would say something like well this temperature usually matched this other temperature. So since we don't have access to this temperature, we'll just say it's continued to match this other temperature. So I mean if you did a few of them, a few, I'd say well maybe you could have left them out but it's just a few. But if 30 percent of them don't exist and you're estimating them, you don't think there's any subjectivity in the estimates? Of course there is. Of course there's subjectivity. They have to decide what they're going to base the guess on. So it's not science. And this is why I enjoy saying, wait until you find out about climate models. It's way more fun to not spend any time defending how it's going to turn out. Just say, wait till you find out. You've got a big surprise coming.
Now by the way, I do not have to be a climatologist or a psychologist or a scientist to know in advance that the temperature measurements would be bogus. All you have to do is have experience in the real world. Anybody who had real world experience, especially in big organizations, should have known that the temperature stuff was sketchy. That was the most knowable obvious fact and all you had to do is have experience in completely other realms. You don't have to have any experience in science or climate to know that if you have that many people and that many measuring devices over that much time and that level of complexity, somebody's making stuff up every time. Somebody's making stuff up.
All right. There's a story about a professor who got put on leave for some Facebook comments about Charlie Kirk's murder. Daily Mail is reporting this. Samantha Rut. And she referred to dangerous white men. So it's a Kansas professor. She's a black woman in case you want to get all the context here. And her name is Nelle Chance and she's an assistant psychology professor or was I guess. And when Charlie Kirk first got shot, she posted, methinks the word karma is appropriate. Sad day all around. Well at least she said it was sad. And then later she posted again, but when we tell you all this statistically white American men are the most dangerous animals on the planet we're wrong let's not be hasty the

y say. So she was defending her opinion that white American men are the most dangerous animals on the planet. Hm. Should I be mad that she's calling me an animal? I'm going to say no 'cause I'm an animal. You know humans are animals. Close enough. I again have a mixed feeling on this because I want her to have free speech. And was that not free speech? So I really don't like it when people lose j…
