The founders didn’t conceive of Congress being 535 members so no they didn’t understand that. What they did conceive of is a mad king and that’s why law were created for checks and balances on power which these criminals ignore.

Not the kind of behavior one would expect from the world’s first FIFA Peace Prize winner

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Death toll in US-Israeli strike on girls' school in southern Iran rises to 40 killed, state-run IRNA news agency reports.

No congress, no constitution, and a king. What a way to celebrate 250 years.

It's a weird day. Today marks the one-year anniversary of my illegal firing from NOAA. And what a year it has been. In the last year, I've seen pretty much my entire 15 year NOAA career attacked. Bye Climate Prediction Center Bye Climate.gov Bye State Deptartment climate work 1/3

A senior White House official has called the weather modeling and predicting agency one of the country's “largest sources of climate alarmism.”
