  1. I understand the science quite well. In fact I know why the Stratosphere is cooling, a question you and other Deniers cannot answer.
  2. Giuliani’s former Ukraine fixer gets 20 months in prison As I wrote, this is too easy. You clearly don't know the connections between Rudy and Russia. If Rudy has to give a deposition, they will ask him question that will force him to take the Fifth.
  3. This is too easy..... Lev Parnas, a onetime associate of former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, used $100,000 from a wealthy Russian businessman to make illegal donations to U.S. politicians, a federal prosecutor said on Wednesday.  Parnas used the funds to “grease the wheels” to help the businessman, Andrey Muraviev, obtain licenses to operate legal cannabis companies in the United States, Assistant U.S. Attorney Aline Flodr said in her opening argument in Parnas’ trial on charges of violating campaign finance laws. Prosecutors say Lev Parnas hid $1 million payment from Russia
  4. When Deniers can't argue the science, they change subject to mitigation. Then, they ask why mitigation is necessary if global warming isn't real. Shampoo, rinse, repeat. It's an old Denier trolling technique. You believe the planet is warming, but you don't believe that the warming is due to increased CO2. So, what is causing the warming? Please don't play games by listing whatever usually provides heat - which factor has increased in the last 40 years to produce more warming?
  5. I got the new Moderna vaccine today. Ironically, the EMS alert went off while I was in the vaccination process. No, I am not a zombie.
  6. This story only represents Covid deaths in August 2023. The reporter is all screwed up: The "overnight" reports list everyone who dies who posted positive for Covid. But the official numbers are based on primary cause of death from death certificates, a much longer process. A rookie mistake by the reporter. In all cases, excess mortality numbers show the million+ who fied from Covid.
  7. yeah, we went through this in another thread. You are misrepresenting the CDC wording.
  8. Guiliani will not make it through discovery.
  9. err.. that's what I wrote, more or less, except that Mon dancing is Khmer dancing. Except I had no idea that the Thai hand gestures have meaning. I never met anyone in Thailand who knows that.
  10. The Chams spoke a language in the same family as Malayan and Tagalog. When they ruled in Vietnam, the current Vietnamese were simply a southern Chinese group that occupied northern Vietnam, and were independent of the Chinese kings. But, no Cham influence in Thailand. As for the Indian influence in Thailand on a cultural level, it is enormous. It's interesting to learn what came from India, what came from the Mon people, what was a Chinese influence, and what the Tai people brought. My opinion is that the Thai influence was similar to the Anglo-Saxons in England - they brought language, some customs, but were a small population that didn't make much of a genetic contribution. I suspect that the genetic contribution from India was very high, based on the number of Thais who look Indian. One more note on the Denisovans: scientists now believe that there was 2 different flavors (some call them different species): those who passed through Indochina, and those in northern China, Korea, Mongolia, etc.
  11. To recap the bidding: The basic genetic or ethnic foundation of the people current living in Thailand is Mon (Khmer). However, the Mon people were Indianized about 1500 years ago, which left religious and genetic traces. Finally, the Tai people migrated from China, bringing their language, customs, and some genetic contributions. Thai culture today bears hallmarks of all of these cultures, including Chinese, brought down by the Tai people. One interesting example is the hand movement of Thai dancers. These superficially mimic Chinese hand movements, but lack the storytelling of the Chinese style. Actually, the hand movements seen in Thailand closely resemble Khmer style. But the hand movements in Khmer/Mon culture provide meanings for the hand positions, whereas the Thai style has no meanings, they just look good. Obviously, when the Tai people arrived in Thailand, they learned the hand movements, but not the meaning.
  12. My point is that the provenance of the vials is unknown. My example of their being supplied by an anti-vaxxer was merely to illustrate how using samples of unknown origin makes the claims about contamination irrelevant.
  13. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-lawmakers-float-trump-house-speaker-mccarthy-ousting Another far left rag reports on Trump becoming Speaker. Oh, wait! That's FOX News.
  14. Rudy Guiliani announced he will sue Joe Biden for calling Rudy a "Russian pawn". Great. During the discovery process, Rudy will have to disclose his Russian contacts.
  15. Jim Jordan wants to be Speaker????
  16. Of course, the DNA contamination claim is in doubt, due to the unknown provenance of the samples. Did some anti-vaxxers hide away some used vials, contaminate them, and send them to the researcher? Don't know. If you had your hands on some used vaccine vials, would you monkey with them so that people would be discouraged from being vaccinated?
  17. You will notice that Trump fans are very quiet now. They are waiting for talking points from their internet friends, but those talking points aren't coming.
  18. I believe that's what they want. If Trump gets re-elected, Russia might get that and more.
  19. I guess you are supporting the Russia-China-North Korea-Iran axis. Good luck with that.
  20. You are suggesting that the US will hand over some new weapons, Ukraine will train with them, and, at some point next year, use the weapons to beat the Russians. Okay. Got it.
  21. Voters in 2024 won't remember what happened in 2023.
  22. Do you recall how much Trump paid to the victims of his Trump University fraud? How many millions he has paid to E. Rose Carroll for his sexual assault? How about Trump being barred from operating a charity in New York because of the money he diverted?
