The proof that our "educated" 'experts' in Govt have no sense whatsoever is the fact that they don't spend a Cent to fight Stupidity which is actually our worst enemy & that enemy is within & homegrown !

The truth about pointless and expensive Net Zero seems to be syncing with Donald Trump's election. He has no truck at all with the climate hoax, and his decoupling from it will be made easier by the fact that, despite all the costs put on people by the nonsense and lies, global emissions have increased in 2024 by 2.5% over 2023. 1 billion tonnes extra. And, international aviation and shipping emissions are expected to increase by 7.8%. Only the UK has dropped its emissions by 3.8%. Not that any of it matters. It still hasn't been proven that CO2 has anything to do with climate change, nor why the 3% man-made emissions are any more dangerous than the 97% occurring naturally. It's just one massive hoax, as Trump says.

Given a choice between meeting arbitrary international targets and growing their economies, “most leaders go for the latter”.

As for the CO2 emitting travellers to Cop29, the biggest users of fossil fuels and emitters, American, China and India, were not among them, preferring to stay home

Dear mhaze,

Trump won the popular vote by 1.7%. That was a clear margin but, by no means, a landslide.

He was the first convicted felon to be elected to the White House and, to use a well-known boxing expression, "was saved by the gong”.

Just to what extent he owes his election to Judge Juan Merchan, Special Counsel Jack Smith, and the US Supreme Court is a matter of conjecture.

Judge Merchan oversaw Trump’s hush money trial, where the popular jury of 7 men and 5 women unanimously found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, and Special Counsel Jack Smith charged Trump in a revised indictment (following a divided Supreme Court ruling that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution for their conduct in office), alleging that Trump conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Judge Merchan decided to delay the pronouncement of Trump’s hush money sentence until after the presidential election to avoid exerting a negative influence on voters and being accused of political interference.

Special Counsel Jack Smith likewise delayed Trump’s election interference trial and, following Trump's election, requested and was granted a delay “to pause the pretrial schedule to afford the government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance” – the first step in ending the prosecution.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the request, indicating : "All remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule are VACATED. By December 2, 2024, the government shall file a status report".

The Justice Department has a longstanding policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.

The 36-page revised indictment, like the original 45-page indictment, charges Trump with four different violations of federal criminal law : conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

The US Supreme Court decision made clear that Trump could not be prosecuted for his efforts to use the Department of Justice to influence state officials to replace legitimate electoral votes with fraudulent ones.

Here is the revised indictment :

Hi Banjo Patterson,
"Trump won the popular vote by 1.7%. That was a clear margin but, by no means, a landslide."
- Maybe not so much percentage wise, but if you look at a map of the U.S. showing red and blue, it's kind of hard to argue it wasn't a landslide.
You can see that red and blue depicted here below, sorry about the meme.

There is a bit of 'what now' going on at CNN, where it is reported that lots of "top talents" are being sacked for getting everything so wrong about the US election. Harris was "winning"; it was "too close to call"; Trump was "Hitler"; it would be the "end of democracy" if he won; it "could take days to get a result". All the usual BS and lies from the lefty media.

One America pollster has retired from polling because he got it so wrong.

Only the ideological Left will still believe the polls and the mainstream media after the Trump landslide.

Please forgive me for saying so, Armchair Critic, but I must say I’m a little surprised that such an eminent critic as yourself should fall for that one.

That “map of the US showing red and blue” you’re looking at is an optical illusion. It is not a map showing the results of the popular vote. It is a map that could, possibly, be mistakenly taken to represent regions where Trump and Harris each won more votes than the other.

If it were authentic (which I doubt), where it is entirely red would not mean that Trump won 100% of the votes in that area. It would simply mean that Trump won more votes than Harris in that area – and vice-versa regarding the blue for Harris. It could be, for example, that in a particular state, Trump won 51% of the votes, Harris 48% and the two other contenders 0.5% each = a total of 100%.

And because Trump won more votes than each of the three others, that state is painted entirely red on the map – which is, of course, totally (and purposely) misleading.

It should have been painted 51% red, 48% blue, and 1% green or some other colour.

That (no doubt) fake map was posted on X by “nickdankmemes”. You can find him here :
