Trump hits 'climate change' scam

 Newsmax:

President Donald Trump used his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York Tuesday morning to call climate change "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion," according to Reuters.

He told delegates that dire scientific predictions of global warming "were made for bad reasons," dismissing the work of climate researchers as politically motivated and economically harmful. Trump further claimed that many advocates for climate action are "stupid" and that global efforts to reduce carbon emissions have damaged economies, particularly in Europe Reuters reported.

The president framed his remarks within a broader argument for what he described as American "energy dominance," praising the United States' oil, gas, coal, and nuclear resources. He warned that nations relying heavily on renewable energy are "heading toward disaster," and he singled out European Union climate policies as examples of what not to follow, Reuters noted.

Trump's position Tuesday aligns with his long-standing skepticism toward climate science. During his first term, he withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement, the global pact to limit greenhouse-gas emissions. He has frequently mocked climate change as a "hoax" or exaggerated problem, often citing cold weather as evidence against global warming, according to The Washington Post.

His administration in both terms has prioritized deregulation of fossil fuel industries while scaling back investments in renewable energy, a trend that has alarmed environmental groups and climate scientists.

In my experience, the climate has not changed significantly since I was a child decades ago.  It is 77 degrees and cloudy this morning in South Texas.  We are expecting a high in the 80s today with a low of 69 this evening.  This is typical for this part of Texas this time of the year.  Europe has wasted a lot of money on so-called renewable energy.  While Texas remains a big producer of oil and gas, this part of Texas remains pretty and nice.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
