After being caught off guard (and embarrassed) that Hegsloth had halted weapons going to Ukraine, TOM is now going to meet with NATO Sec Gen to do just that. Give weapons to NATO to give to Ukraine. “NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is set to meet President Donald Trump this week on the heels of the U.S. leader announcing plans to sell NATO allies weaponry that it can then pass on to Ukraine.
NATO announced on Sunday that Rutte will be in Washington on Monday and Tuesday and would hold talks with Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as well as members of Congress. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the visit.” Ooooohhh Petey’s gonna be in trouble. It might be double. Track record not stellar. Seems like without even trying too hard, Hegsloth manages to find the dog poop on every sidewalk.
Today’s head-shaker story is (no surprise) from a R candidate in Georgia. She has put forth a conspiracy theory about the Texas mass flooding. ““Fake weather. Fake hurricanes. Fake flooding. Fake. Fake. Fake,” Kandiss Taylor, a Republican congressional candidate from Georgia, wrote on X.
“This isn’t just ‘climate change,’” she added. “It’s cloud seeding, geoengineering, & manipulation. If fake weather causes real tragedy, that’s murder.” Unhinged is not strong enough for the level of insanity in the statement above. “No evidence shows that human manipulation caused the deadly flash floods that engulfed the Texas Hill Country. Meteorologists say cloud seeding, a practice that stimulates rainfall over small areas, could not possibly create a deluge so severe that it can be expected only once every five centuries.”
Do farmers pay for cloud seeding? Yes. Can it cause flooding the likes of which killed over 100 people? Never. “Across social media, conspiracy theorists have aimed their sights at one purported culprit for the flooding: Rainmaker Technology Corp., a California-based company that the state of Texas pays to seed clouds over arid agricultural regions and drinking water supplies. Rainmaker uses drones to drop silver iodide, a compound that bonds with water molecules, into specific clouds to make the moisture heavy enough to become precipitation. The company’s chief executive, August Doricko, has said the chemical has “negligible effects” on crops, livestock and humans but can boost rainfall amounts by as much as 20%.”
“Travis Herzog, the chief meteorologist for KTRK-TV in Houston, said cloud seeding “cannot create a storm of this size of this magnitude or size.”
“All it can do is take an existing cloud and enhance the rainfall by up to 20%,” Herzog wrote on Facebook. “It is physically impossible for that to have created this weather system. This is a matter of scale. If I blow out a candle with my breath, does that mean that I can then go blow out a raging wildfire? It is the same with cloud seeding.”
A more likely culprit for the severe flooding, scientists say, is climate change.” But believing in climate change is no fun. There’s no one to point a finger at – well, all of us, tbh. And how else would crazy R’s get votes than to convince potential voters that “the other side” is the spawn of the devil and killing people?
