The Day After Tomorrow is a movie that illustrates how what they used to call global warming could actually put half the planet into a deep freeze.

Off topic - the kicker to this movie was that the US people fleeing to Mexico were not turned back by Mexican border guards but helped.

Larry Kudlow says global warming is "a hoax" because it's very cold in Iowa right now

No intelligent, educated person still refers to it as "global warming". The correct term is "Climate change".

This also illustrates a (probably willful) ignorance of the difference between weather and climate.

Climate change theory includes an explanation for especially cold winters. That's one reason that the previous term was abandoned.

Even if we ignore the obvious scientific understanding that climate change may be creating more severe weather because of an increase in the global temperature, Iowa being cold in January does not support their incorrect claim of no "global warming" because the Midwest is cold in January. I have yet to turn on my humidifier because we have spent December until now generally above freezing so humidity indoors and out has been higher. The fact that we are just now getting a normal cold and snow stretch would actually be proof that there is global warming, according to their claim about what global warming is.

As we all know, facts mean nothing to these folks. It is all about propaganda to those who only want to blame the left for stubbing their toe on an end table.

I had to this morning. Pete Nevertheless and Will Cain on F&f doing a run down on coaching changes in football (fair), but then they had to finish up with comments about CA new regulations on younger players and helmets. They kind did a pros and cons on the matter before wrapping out up with let the parents decide what's best for their child. If only they'd let parents decide what books the child can read, school curriculum, etc.

Interested to see who on Fox mentioned Friday's big judgment and who didnt. F&f Weekend, haven't heard a mention, but I was dozing and might have missed it. Sure. Neil Cavuto did cover it Saturday morning. Just sat through Bartiromo this morning. Crickets. Media Buzz just started, waiting to see if Howie covers it.

Bartiromo had quite the rogues gallery on, starting with Stefanik on first. Border! Hunter, and the recent closed door session with associate (Morris?) and all the awfulness that came out thanks to Comer. No pushback that there's dispute about Comer version and what was said. Next up TX lt gov for more border! Ben Carson

Kari Lake with her version of the secret tapes and moar border!!! I could be wrong, but I think Lake said every state is a border state

Last up Kelly Anne talking about tfg and his campaign and whatever. They kinda sorta mentioned the legal issues he's facing, but don't recall mention of Friday's judgment. I was fixing covfefe by then, so I must have missed it.

Pro-Trump Network OAN Sent Sidney Powell Explosive Email on Smartmatic After 2020
Smartmatic lawyers are accusing One America News Network of possible “criminal activities.”

While Donald Trump and his associates were peddling election fraud schemes in an effort to undermine the 2020 presidential election results, pro-Trump broadcast network One America News was operating its own mission to sabotage voting machine company Smartmatic.

In the immediate aftermath of the January 6 Capitol riot, OAN’s chief executives passed along a volatile email to Trump attorney Sidney Powell that included a spreadsheet of Smartmatic’s employees with their company passwords.

The sender of the January 8, 2021, email was identified by CNN as OAN president Charles Herring, via public materials related to Smartmatic’s case and court documents from other 2020-related lawsuits.

Lawyers for Smartmatic related to a federal judge that the contents of the full email and its attached spreadsheet suggest that OAN executives “may have engaged in criminal activities” because they “appear to have violated state and federal laws regarding data privacy,” per CNN.

“OAN denies that its executive team ‘may have engaged in criminal activities.’ This vague accusation is a clumsy attempt to smear OAN and to divert attention from Smartmatic’s own misconduct,” OAN lawyer Charles Babcock told the outlet.

Another legal filing by an ex–Dominion Voting Systems employee accuses Herring’s father, OAN founder Robert Herring, of forwarding a similar spreadsheet to Trump’s wannabe friend, election-denier and broke MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. The filing, from a defamation case against Lindell, specifies that the email contained “password information for employees of several voting systems providers.”

The court documents do not make clear how OAN accessed Smartmatic’s records or whether the passwords distributed to Trump’s allies were accurate.

OAN is already in boiling water in regard to its election denialism. The bite-size network—which has struggled financially since it was dropped by practically every cable provider, from DirecTV to Verizon—competed in a race to the bottom with Fox to seed election lies. That could put the MAGA station in the tank for a gigantic settlement payout like Fox, which last year paid out a historic $787 million settlement to Dominion for its election lies.

Pro-Trump network OAN execs may have ‘engaged in criminal activities’ while promoting 2020 election lies, Smartmatic alleges

By Marshall Cohen, CNN
Updated 10:40 AM EST, Mon January 29, 2024

CNN — In the wake of the 2020 election, the president of the far-right network One America News sent a potentially explosive email to former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, with a spreadsheet claiming to contain passwords of employees from the voting technology company Smartmatic, according to court filings.

The existence of the spreadsheet was recently disclosed by Smartmatic, which is suing OAN for defamation. CNN pieced together who was involved in the email exchanges by examining court records from three separate cases stemming from the 2020 election.

Lawyers from Smartmatic told a federal judge that the email, and the attached spreadsheet, suggest OAN executives “may have engaged in criminal activities” because they “appear to have violated state and federal laws regarding data privacy.”

The court records don’t say how OAN obtained the spreadsheet, or whether the supposed Smartmatic passwords were authentic. Nobody from OAN has been charged with any crimes. But it came at a time when OAN, Powell and others in their orbit were aggressively peddling false claims that there was massive voter fraud in 2020, and that Smartmatic was to blame.

You are missing the subtext. Its not about Taylor Swift at all.

Taylor Swift flies planes. Liberals talk about Petroleum po;lution. Liberals support Taylor Swift. Liberals don't criticize Taylor Swift. Therefore liberals are hypocrites. Q.E.D.

Its the same sort of stupid logic that is all over the internet, the other side don't mean what they say because they didn't critisise something completely unrelated and off topic. I have seen the same crap logicon this board as well, only about conservatives. Its just done to give a blast of outrage high.

Hell, I've heard similar here, like the time during Gulf War II I heard someone saying the Irish Pro-Life Movement are Hypocrites because they didn't specifically critisise Americans bombing Children in Iraq. Yer what?
