The supreme court has taken a knee… let me explain why it is so evident:
In a 6-3 ruling today the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to grant writ to hear the Pennsylvania election challenge cases [pdf here – begin page 25]. While the majority of media will likely celebrate this decision; and while the court has refused to hear the case(s) based on their position the issues are “moot”; there appears to be an underlying motive not being discussed.
It only takes four justices to agree to hear a case and grant a writ of certiorari. In October 2020 the issues with the Pennsylvania court overruling the Pennsylvania legislature was of such importance four justices agreed to block the lower court order. However, four months later the majority claim the arguments within the case are “moot”; & the election is over.
In essence the Roberts Court is saying they will allow any/all methods and manipulations of election law within states, and only look to the state outcome. This is very troublesome.
Why would Justice Kavanaugh reverse his position? In October the state action to supersede the Pennsylvania legislature was a hazard. In February it is moot.
While it is never a good idea to look into the background of the court for motives, one cannot easily dismiss that Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett may have voted against the writ because they were concerned such a decision would cause the senate to start a process of “packing the court.” Retaining the current number of justices within the court is more likely if the justices avoid triggering the consequences from the previous threat.
Justices’ Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch remained consistent with their earlier decisions to hear the cases and settle the disputes. Barrett never weighed in on the October injunction, but Kavanaugh has completely reversed his position with his denial of the writ.
The confirmation hearing for U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, a far-left advocate for intrusive weaponization of government against political adversaries, is underway today. The afternoon session should resume around 1:30pm
If Garland is confirmed there will be multiple people and groups who supported President Trump targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice. The extremist Lawfare group is openly advocating for more political targeting; to wit Garland has openly stated his intent to continue weaponizing the DOJ where former AG Eric Holder left-off.
Excellent Physics Written by W. A. van Wijngaarden and W. Happer Published on June 8, 2020
The atmospheric temperatures and concentrations of Earth’s ve most important, greenhouse gases, H2O, CO2, O3, N2O and CH4 control the cloud-free, thermal radiative flux from the Earth to outer space. Over 1/3 million lines having strengths as low as 1027 cm of the HITRAN database were used to evaluate the dependence of the forcing on the gas concentrations. For a hypothetical, optically thin atmosphere, where there is negligible saturation of the absorption bands, or interference of one type of greenhouse gas with others, the per-molecule forcings are of order 1022 W for H2O, CO2, O3, N2O and CH4. For current atmospheric concentrations, the per-molecule forcings of the abundant greenhouse gases H2O and CO2 are suppressed by four orders of magnitude. The forcings of the less abundant greenhouse gases, O3, N2O and CH4, are also suppressed, but much less so. For current concentrations, the per-molecule forcings are two to three orders of magnitude greater for O3, N2O and CH4, than those of H2O or CO2. Doubling the current concentrations of CO2, N2O or CH4 increases the forcings by a few per cent. These forcing results are close to previously published values even though the calculations did not utilize either a CO2 or H2O continuum. The change in surface temperature due to CO2 doubling is estimated taking into account radiative-convective equilibrium of the atmosphere as well as water feedback for the cases of xed absolute and relative humidities as well as the eect of using a pseudoadiabatic lapse rate to model the troposphere temperature. Satellite spectral measurements at various latitudes are in excellent quantitative agreement with modelled intensities.

Carbon Dioxide CO2 is not making “ANY” dangerous changes to the global temperature!
From the attached report on climate change for January 2021Data we have the two charts showing how much the global temperature has actually gone up since we started to measure CO2 in the atmosphere? To show this graphically Chart 8 was constructed by plotting CO2 as a percent increase from when it was first measured in 1958, the Black plot, the scale is on the left and it shows CO2 going up by 32.0% from 1958 to January of 2021. That is a very large change as anyone would have to agree. Now how about temperature, well when we look at the percentage change in temperature from 1958, using Kelvin (which does measure the change in heat), we find that the changes in global temperature (heat) are almost un-measurable. The scale on the right side had to be expanded 10 times (the range is 40 % on the left and 4% on the right) to be able to see the plot in the same chart in any detail. The red plot, starting in 1958, shows that the thermal energy in the earth’s atmosphere increased by .40%; while CO2 has increased by 32.0% which is 80 times that of the increase in temperature. So is there really a meaningful link between them that would give as a major problem?
The numbers tell us no there isn’t!
The next chart is Chart 8a which is the same as Chart 8 except for the scales which are the same for both CO2 and Temperature. As you see the increase in energy, heat, is not visually observably in this chart hence the need for the previous chart 8 to show the minuscule increase in thermal energy shown by NASA in relationship to the change in CO2. Based to these trends, determined by excel not me, in 2028 CO2 will be 428 ppm and temperatures will be a bit over 15.0o Celsius and in 2038 CO2 will be 458 ppm and temperatures will be 15.6O Celsius. This is what the data shows no matter what the reasons are, so I have no idea how the IPCC gets to predict that the world will end in ten or even twenty years.
The full 40 page report explains how these charts were developed and why using NASA and NOAA data that are used without change to prove that The New Green Deal is not required and any attempt to complete that plan will be a worldwide disaster.

According to a Vox posting the US has everything it needs to decarbonize by 2035. Article written By David Roberts and published on Aug 6, 2020
Roberts starts the article with the US industrial build up to arm the world during WW II which by any measure was massive and impressive.He then goes on to say we need a similar effort for the US to De-carbonize the us to as close to 100% as possible before 2050 or it will be too late for us as we will have reached a point of no return. He then goes on that Saul Griffith who is a physicist, engineering, researcher, inventor and serial entrepreneur has developed a planning tool do dhow that 70% to 80% of the reduction required could be completed by 2035. His plan is simple we just go 100% electric.
“The report reinforces a key finding,” says Leah Stokes, an environmental policy expert at the University of California Santa Barbara. “Cleaning up the electricity system solves the lion’s share of the problem. It allows us to electrify our transportation and building sectors and parts of heavy industry, which would address more than 70 percent of total emissions.”
Griffith states that despite the massive effort that it would take to De-carbonize there is no new technology required not does it require some kind of major reduction in life style. All it needs according to Griffith, is a serious effort to replace everything that uses fossilize fuels with identical ones that uses electricity. Obviously a government policy and regulatory structure would be required.
The following video explains the plan.
The full Vox article is provided below just click on the Vox article
The problem with plans like this is the people that plan them have no clue how the real world works. Or how complex it really is to do that he suggests in only 14 years. I’ll just discus one item the us electric power grid. The are 5 separate grids comprising 120,000 miles of high voltage transmission lines and in addition all the local transmission line which are probably a 1,000 time that number. I’ll just look at the main power transmission line. The graphic below so the source and destination of all the energy used in the US in 2018
There are two sources of power on the graphic we are only going to look at the net delivered here. The first is electric power shown in orange at 12.95 Quads. The other is everything else (that we want to get ride of) shown in pink at 63.00 Quads. The grand total delivered is 75.95 Quads. 12.96 Quads is equal to 2,809.6 Terawatts and 75.95 Quads is equal to 22,273.4 Terawatts. In round numbers if we convert the 22,273.4 Terawatts to electricity power the US power grid would need to be expanded by 5 times to handle the new load.The Grid does not normally have much excess capacity. So the 120,000 miles would need to be 600,000 or the wires would need to be each 5 times the present capacity. that is 42,857 miles per year for 14 years. But it gets worse since that is the first ting that needs to be done so maybe there is only 10 years to complete and that would be 60,000 miles or the equivalent. Below is a simple diagram of the Grid
The other problem we have is hydroelectric and nuclear that are not realist options so that leaves Solar PV and Wind to male up that 22,273.4 Terawatts that are being eliminated. So the question is how many wind farms and solar farms will we need? A relatively quick review will put us in the ball park. These numbers assume no storage of power, but do assume that they are spread out to mitigate outages.
The following assumptions are for wind turbines: a 20 megawatt wind farm containing 4 5 megawatt turbines and 32 acres of land. To produce 22,273.4 Terawatts would require 442,138 wind farms and a total of 1,764550 wind turbines. I t would take about 22,057 square miles of land.
The following assumptions are for solar PV panels: 20 megawatt solar PV farm containing 40,0000 500 watt panels. To produce 22,273.4 Terawatts would require 610,806 solar PV farms and a total of 24,432,239,240 500 watt solar PV panels (each panel is 7′ 6″ by 4′ 3″. It would take about 76,351 square miles of land.
Obviously some combination of the two would be better but its very unrealistic to think that any combination of these two options could be done before 2050. Keep in mind that you can’t close a carbon based plant until the grid and the wind or solar options was in place. There are other considerations as well like is there enough raw materials to do this and is there the production capacity to make the panels. keep in mind that other countries are also trying to this.
OK here is the deal Looking back 4 or 5 thousand years there appears to be a cycle of ups and downs ranging around 900 to 1,100 years with a swing in temperatures of around 1.3 to 1.4 degrees C. Then there is a shorter cycle of 60 to 70 years with a swing of temperature of .3 to .4 degrees C. Lastly there is warming from CO2 which when modeled properly using a logistics curve (sensitivity value of around .7 to .9 C per doubling of CO2 will give an increase in temperature of between 1.1 and 1.2 degrees C from a base of 270 ppm We are now at 415 ppm so we have already realized about a 76.9% of that amount so CO2 can only add .18 additional degrees C from CO2 even at CO2 levels well over 1000 ppm.
The primary determinant of global temperature is the “observed” ~1,000 year cycle which started moving up in 1650 and which will peak around 2150 +/- at around 16.0 to 16.5 degrees C; at that point no matter what level CO2 reaches we will see a drop of global temperatures for the next 500 years. I can speculate why this seems to be true but, at this point, there is no science to prove this is true. However the geological temperatures are what they are even if we don’t know why.
When these three items are properly aliened, based on historic data going back 2,000 years, a model that matches NASA-GISS month values using a running 12 month average very closely can be constructed and it shows there will be a slight pause that will last until 2035 when a different alignment of the cycles will again cause temperature to go up. The model uses 1650 AD as the base year with a world temperature estimated to be around 13.5 degrees C back then. The model works because it correctly uses the three observed movements in global temperature. Unfortunately since these movements greatly exceed human life times they can be ignored by politicians that use the hysteria that they generate to get laws that give them power over the people.
Is the Earth getting warmer or colder?
The Politicians, the IPCC, along with NASA and NOAA like to tell us that the earth is getting warmer and warmer and will soon be ice free. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, tells us its so bad that we only have 8 years to live. If this is true then it seems to me that this is actually a very easy thing to prove or disprove. The reason I say this is because of the proven concept of conservation of energy, in this case angular momentum. This is the same principle that is shown in ice skating when a skater starts a spin with their arms out and then they bring them in and up over their head. The result is that their spin increases directly to how tight they can make their body; and we have all seen this many times over the years so there is no possible debate on this concept.
So how does this relate to the earth getting warmer? Well it’s actually very simple the earth is spinning at one revolution every 24 hours, once a day, and we have the ability, today, to measure this 24 hours very, very accurately. Therefore if the poles are getting warmer, as we are being told, the ice there would be melting and contributing to the sea levels rising. According to the believers views this will flood low lying coastal cities and cause much disruption to humans. They give us a plurality of reports on how much the sea levels have risen since we started to use lots of fossil based fuels mostly in the past 100 years.
Well if this is true that the ice at the poles, on the land only, is in fact melting then the resulting water will enter the planets oceans and because of the spinning earth that a portion of that water will quickly migrate to the equator. As it does so and because of the conservation of angular momentum the planets rotation will slow down; and this will be in direct relationship to the amount of ice above the Arctic and Antarctic circles on land that is there or not there. More ice at the poles will speed up the spin and less ice at the poles will slow down the spin there can be no debate about this principle the only issue would be do we have the technology to measure this.
If we do, and I think we do, then there is a very simple way to determine whether the planet is warming or not — we just measure this spin
The entire problem with these COVID Vaccines has been that politics usurped COVID-19 to not merely beat Trump in the United States who in John Kerry’s own words rejected the United Nations and this American was “absent” from the UN climate change agenda. However, in Europe COVID has been deliberately used to crush the economy and to launch this “BUILD BACK BETTER” agenda to bring the Great Reset into fruition. Therein lies the problem. There is no EXIT strategy because politics has corrupted medicine.
The Biden Administration made it very clear that even if you take these questionable vaccines, you will forever have to wear a mask and continue to social-distance. Getting vaccinated will NOT restore your freedom.There is no clear exit strategy because this virus has been usurped by politics and is being used to separate the sheep from the independent thinkers – God forbid!
There are doctors asserting that this virus has never been isolated nor purified. Indeed, even when I went to a pulmonary specialist and said I did not have COVID since I was tested 5 times and it was always NEGATIVE, he immediately responded that did not mean anything since the tests are not valid. There are lawsuits over the test and that it does not truly identify COVID. But on top of all of this, they skipped animal trials because it was politically so urgent. Although there were a total of 43,548 trial participants in Pfizer’s phase 3 trial, their calculation of effectiveness was based on a total of 170 participants only to claim 95% effectiveness. Anyone calling into question these vaccines is simply canceled like Robert F. Kenney Jr.
The initial round of lockdowns was NOT about suppressing the virus itself. Instead, politics claims millions would die because of the lack of hospital capacity. Hospitals were never maxed out nationally even on average. Whether and to what extent the “curve” was actually flattened will probably be debated for years but back then there was NO question of extinguishing the virus. The volume of the curves, tall and quick or short and long, was the same either way. People were going to get the bug until the bug burns out (herd immunity). So politics then used COVID for other political means which has been about destroying non-green businesses and jobs. We no longer hear about “flattening the curve” is the object of lockdowns. This has been a very clever political bait-and-switch to which the majority of sheep never looked at and the mainstream press will never raise.
Virtually imperceptibly, the rationale used for the lockdowns changed right in front of our eyes and not a single Investigative Journalist would dare even ask the question which they would have instantly 30 years ago. The mainstream press has simply joined the political conspiracy against the people and then even the New York Times has called on Biden to impose a “Reality Czar” to suppress anyone who dares to question this narrative. So much for free speech or caring about their fiduciary responsibility under the Constitution to protect the people from governmental tyranny. They should be stripped of all businesses licensed and shut down.
The mainstream press never discusses this “curve flattening” justification used to destroy the economy when NO OTHER historical record exists in 6,000 years of history of ANY government taking such an action nationwide. Lockdown became an end in itself which had nothing to do with hospital capacity. The Madman of Australia, Daniel Andrews, imposed such harsh actions against the people it became more like he simply was some reincarnated former executioner who enjoyed torturing people. Very few hospitals suffered a crowding issue confined to places localized in two New York boroughs while hospitals around the country emptied out for patients who didn’t show up. There were even at least 350 hospitals that furloughed workers because everyone was locked down and people were dying for lack of medical care outside of COVID.
To keep up the newfound powers of tyranny, politicians and their corrupt medical advisers like Dr. Antony Fauci floated the idea like Typhoid Mary who was asymptomatic but spread the disease. Mary Mallon eventually died at the age of 70 by had never shown any symptoms of typhoid. Nevertheless, she spread the disease while working as a cook in the New York City area. They resurrected this possibility to then justify the lockdowns since the whole hospital nonsense began to quickly vanish. There were locking up people taking photos showing that the hospitals were empty.
In Britain, GDP dropped nearly 10% for 2020, the worst decline in 300 years! That failure should be embarrassing enough to any politician that would have them booted out of office after being hauled up on a no-confidence vote. The economic loss to Britain even shifted the status in the stock market from London as the financial center back to Amsterdam, where it all began. Schools closed, commercial rights were vanquished, shelter-in-place orders from wartime were imposed, travel virtually stopped internationally and even domestically. Conferences and theatre events were canceled whipping out hospitality and theme parks. Surely, what politician in their right mind would have destroyed their own nation without good, solid, science-based reasoning? Human rights were ignored.
This has been a nightmare because it is political. The only way to get back to normal is to throw all politicians out of office who supported this fraud. They have so terrorized people, simply going out to dinner in New York City now has people threatening to kill you for putting everyone at risk. This is totally insane.
There are many people writing in about California and how they are looking to get out ASAP. Some are pointing to the fact that the Left has gone totally insane and passed legislation not just that people can steal up to $950 in shoplifting, but that you can now be a member of the Communist Party and run for office in California. I guess this means Pelosi can come out of the closet before she loses office in 2022. This is the problem with the Left. Instead of moving to an appropriate place where communists control, they try to subvert the rest of society to comply with their desires. They are against freedom every step of the way. In California, the US Constitution is just an annoying scarp of paper that should not stand in the way.
Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Feb 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
The New York Post reported that Bonnie Jacobson, 34, told them that the management at Red Hook Tavern canned her on Monday because she balked at getting the vaccine immediately. We are getting emails with similar stories which seem to be only highlighting the great divide between the Democrats and Republicans. Some are starting to even ask about vaccines in job interviews and it is going in both directions.
If they require a vaccine they are turning down job offers and others are firing people for refusing to get it. One reader said his daughter told the interviewer she will come back in a year and if you are OK, then I’ll take the job. Even the White House has confirmed that when vaccinated, you still need a mask, can still get it, and you still have to social distance. There seems to be no concrete answer and the fact that the vaccine producers have been given complete immunity does not invoke confidence. Just look at the immunity for BigTech – they have devastated society and destroyed any chance for democracy which relies upon the cornerstone of debate.
The fact that they skipped the animal trials does not embrace confidence when they are exempt from all immunity. And BTW, they petition the EU has also struck deals for the immunity or they would not distribute the vaccine in Europe.
Well, the left better pray that these vaccines do not have long-term side-effects as some are warning because they will be wiping out all Marxist-leaning supporters which could dramatically change politics forever.
COMMENT: I work at Walgreens. Thank god, not in California. I can attest that gentleman is correct about the policies. Maybe this is why many pharmacists have not had a raise in 4 years. Glad I still had a job during the lockdown though.
