THE MORNING RANT: Buck Shots – January 17, 2025
A lawsuit against Target over its controversial 2023 Pride Collection can move forward, a Florida judge has ruled. "Target embraced a radical transgender agenda targeting children and families through the corporation’s infamous 2023 'Pride' campaign," conservative group America First Legal, which filed the lawsuit, said in a statement, adding that the backlash "led to billions in losses."
The excavation for 82 of the wind turbines involved explosives to create craters over 10 feet deep and 60 feet wide to install reinforced concrete foundations. "Significant amounts of Osage minerals were engineered and used as backfill for, and positioned around, the wind turbine foundations.” The United States brought two declaratory judgement claims and additional claims for conversion, trespass, and continuing trespass of the [Osage Mineral Estate]. On Thursday, Judge Choe-Groves also ordered the defendants to remove the wind farm from the OME and return it to its pre-trespass condition on or before Dec. 1 of next year.Maybe one reason Native Americans swung hard to the right in support of Donald Trump in the 2024 election is because they hate those giant bird-killing cuisinarts as much as Donald Trump does.
[Scientists] found the previously hidden stand of trees on the Beartooth Plateau in northwest Wyoming, which is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The whitebark pines were lying flat but had been preserved in good condition, suggesting they were rapidly enveloped by ice. The trees were recently exposed when the ice patch began melting due to hotter temperatures related to human-caused climate change, reports New Scientist’s Taylor Mitchell Brown.If “human caused climate change” caused the ice patch to melt, what caused the warming 6,000 years ago that allowed pine trees to grow there? Perhaps it was all the buffalo flatulence that caused warming in the mid-Holocene era. This Smithsonian article does at least note that, This suggests the region’s climate was once warmer than it is today. Correct. We are actually living in an historically cool period for planet Earth.
In the last 20 years, faculty headcount has grown by over 20%, and the number of unrestricted staff — staff not funded by grants or gifts — has grown by 28%, according to the announcement. But during this time, undergraduate enrollment has grown by only 13%. This has placed “considerable pressure on the University’s tuition-dependent budget.”Brown’s operating deficit could hit $90 million next year. It sounds like it’s time for Brown to start liquidating its $7 billion endowment since the school is still avoiding the obvious solution of terminating the administrative deadweight that it hired.
EXCLUSIVE: Texas A&M is sponsoring a trip to a DEI conference that prohibits whites and Asians from attending. The university falsely claims that this use of taxpayer funds does not violate the state's DEI ban.@TAMU is supporting racial segregation and breaking the law. pic.twitter.com/pFWYnZdweE
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) January 13, 2025
Mr. Welsh III is a cowardly man who quickly bows to the latest pressure applied to him. He first bowed in obedience to the DEI brigade at Texas A&M. Then rather than defend his DEI-driven support for racial segregation, Mr. Welsh III pretended to acquiesce to Gov. Abbott so as not to lose his job. He canceled Texas A&M’s racially segregated participation in this specific event.
WINNING: The president of Texas A&M has terminated the university's participation in a segregated conference. He admits that the university initially approved students to go to a conference that "limited attendees by race." But after he got caught, he changed his mind. pic.twitter.com/kUSRe68Zfx
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) January 14, 2025
But if you read President Welsh’s letter of capitulation, he is still not acknowledging any wrongdoing. He wrote, ”While the proper process for reviewing and approving attendance at such events was followed, I don’t believe we fully considered the spirit of our state law in making the initial decision to participate.” If Welsh believes the “proper process” allowed for overt racial discrimination, and if he believes “the spirit of our state law” also allows for overt racial discrimination, then this man is not fit to be the President of Texas A&M University. He’s not fit to show his face in polite company in the state of Texas. Please, Governor Abbott, fire this man. Mark Welsh III has made it abundantly clear that he cannot serve another day as President of Texas A&M. If you have to fire university regents to get them to take action against Welsh, then do that. Mark Welsh III and his promotion of racial segregation cannot be tolerated in 21st Century Texas. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

The Left in modern times (since 1970s or so) has always defined racism as something only white people could do. They couched it in the terms that "most" people would find inoffensive and easy to agree with, and it was always a lie.

Segregation is back in vogue. Amazing - apparently, and without being aware of it because self-awareness is not part of their skill set, Progressives owe an apology to guys like Bull Connor and Orval Faubus and the rest of it. They were correct in their actions, how can anyone argue otherwise? Profoundly stupid.

A cooling Earth is 1000X more frightening than even the worst-case global warming fear mongering.
A warmer Earth means more life.
A colder Earth means much less life. A lot less.
And, look at the article, the trees were "rapidly" enveloped in the ice.
Because it was record snowfalls that ... just never melted.
That can happen any year right now without warning.
Which also brings me to the silliest global warming scare: Receding glaciers.
Because our scientific education is so poor, everyone thinks they take centuries to form. Like a giant snowpack starts up at the top of the mountain that has crept over the centuries to the bottom.
And I think the "giant glaciers over North America" that they claim scoured markings in the rock as they advanced is wrong too.

As the smoke clears from devastating Los Angeles wildfires, efforts to clean up the affected areas are being complicated by burnt-out electric and hybrid vehicles and home-battery storage systems. Lithium batteries from Tesla Inc., along with those from other carmakers, have added to the mix of toxic materials requiring specialized removal in the wake of the fires, delaying the fire victims’ return to their properties. “A lot of the cars in the evacuation area were lithium batteries,” said Jacqui Irwin, a state assembly member representing the Pacific Palisades, one of the neighborhoods hardest hit by the fires.

Good question. Is this just a petty snub or a sign that these people know to stay away from the inauguration, because they know something dangerous is planned to disrupt it?
I think most people are assuming the former, but I know a lot of people previously were suggesting that President Trump forego any inauguration ceremonies and just get to work, specifically because people are worried about the Deep State planning something.

Walk along the shoreline, and just above current high tide level, there is a dense tangle of tree roots in the earth bank above the beach. Roots of cedar trees - cut them with a pocket knife, and the aroma of cedar is obvious. AFAIK, there are no cedar trees is Newfoundland now, climate is too cold for them.

>>The Left in modern times (since 1970s or so) has always defined racism as something only white people could do. They couched it in the terms that "most" people would find inoffensive and easy to agree with, and it was always a lie.
At the used book store I saw a copy of Saira Rao's book about her 'Race to Dinner'grift business. Thought it might be amusing to read it to understand how she thinks (kinda like watching MSNBC - helps to understand the opposition). Hooo-boy, could not even get past the introduction. It was amazing:
- You are a racist, just the worst person in the world. Period.
- If you deny it, that confirms you are worse than a racist, because you are a racist AND you refuse to do the work
- If you cry about this, you are terrible because you are making this about YOU and it's about the people you have harmed with your inherent, bigoty racism
- If you agree you are a racist and want to listen, well, you are a condescending racist because we don't need your permission
And on and on. Rao is the person who puts people on trains, or even lines them up and shoots them herself, and feels quite good about it, thankyouverymuch.

Black Lives Matter Demands Grocery Store Remain Open Despite Losing $7,000 a Day to Theft
Black Lives Matter activists are now demanding that the store stay open or that another low-cost food store take its place.
A member of BLM and the Fillmore United Alliance, Daniel Landry, said in a statement at a recent rally, “We’re not playing. We are demanding."
“We want all the new [city] supervisors to understand,” he said. “We can have a beautiful relationship or a sour relationship.”
What if he had "demanded" that the shoplifters stop stealing? That would have been a novel approach. As it is now, Landry is demanding the store stay open so that residents can continue to steal $200,000 a month.
Perhaps Buy Large Mansions (BLM) founder Patrisse Cullors, who purchased a $6 million mansion, could make an investment.

I can appreciate classic liberals more than I can leftists. The first step to recovering sanity is not to accept bullshit in the area you know best and if encouraged, a person starts applying question everything to their world. Some do it more successfully than others but the enemy here is Big Science as an interest group because it propagates lies paid for by taxpayers.

Don't forget the class warfare. Lots and lots of class warfare.
I noted sometime back that under Obama they stopped reporting any news story in any way that would find people united in a truly common cause. It was as if "they" recognized the unforseen danger of their 9/11 op (I mean terror attack.... terror attack!) when the country seemed to unite in patriotism and anger, and decided that would be corrected forevermore.
It, not any one of their pet causes, is the primary reason why for example kids will be killed and the Left will shout about gun control, or not release names of victims, or lie and obfuscate about the motives or perp. Or lie about anything else. Because if kids being killed is reported as/is without the levers of division wielded, people may feel a brotherhood instead of dividing and hating on a real or imagined fault line.
Beyond prosperity only tragedy can unite us, and the twisted bastards won't even allow that.

For years the climatistas said 400ppm was the tipping point, after which global temps would run away to death and destruction. We've been over 400ppm for a few years now, but it's no problem for them. They just stopped saying it.

Get call from kennel: Dog has been attacked by another dog. Must get her to vet.
Call around to vet that can take her (regular is booked solid). Get dog. Wound is...not small. It's open. If you move the skin around, you create a big air pocket between her skin and her muscles. Ew.
Vet takes a look. $1100 should fix it up.
Dolley is...pissed. Looking into legal insurance for someone to sue. The T&C of the kennel pretty much say it's the owner of the other dog.
Should be fun.

From an article I read earlier - As is the custom (though Trump broke with it in 2021), all living former US presidents — Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton — will attend the inauguration. Except for Michelle Obama who has withdrawn for undisclosed reasons, the former first ladies will also be present.
It may be that the above are not attending one or more of the numerous social activities planned for the 3-4 day event?

"We're one team, and it's one effort. But this is not a revolutionary concept, that there are disparate views when one has many people, involved in the decision making process."

Fun fact, US carbon emissions have fallen 20 percent since 2005. It is China and India (along with other third world countries) that have exploded to over 4 times US emissions.
Personally, I think it silly to worry so much about carbon as a warmer earth is better than a colder earth but environmentalist/communists are more interested in using energy to control people than to actually reduce emissions. Nuclear power is safe, reliable, and has minimal impact. Instead we promote toxic solar cells, hideous bird killers called windmills, etc.
Compressed natural gas or propane works pretty well for IC engines too.
But, the real object of leftists feigning environmental interests is control over the economy and of people.

Our local Hy-Vee closed due to “performance issues” (shoplifting) it was abrupt, and I know why.
A local entrepreneur had a vision for an “All In” grocery, and secured numerous grants and loans from the city to do it. Delays pushed construction back for years. It lasted less than a year, first he said there would be a “pause” while claiming supplier or vendor problems (90 days net goes bye-bye, cash on the barrelhead if you don’t pay, is most likely the problem)
Like it never happened, what happened to the grant money, the loans, etc. And then the articles about how a “food desert”, etc. The only color a grocery store cares about is Green. If they can’t pencil it out… I can’t wrap my mind around people who are otherwise seemingly normal and reasonable, and then revert to kindergarten fairy tales when it applies to economics. Fuck ‘em

"Target Going to Court for Fiduciary Negligence with its Pride Campaign"
There should be a parallel attack on most of "our" educational institutions. Not just for fiduciary negligence, but for educational negligence. They have replace essential basics with woke garbage, and should be punished and/or imprisoned for their destructive ways.

A dishonest person aka leftist will always resort to lies and logical fallacies. Ultimately they resort to personal insults if they are losing an argument.

162 Rudy Giuliani has reached an agreement with two Georgia election workers that he defamed to settle the nearly $150 million judgment against him, in a deal that will allow him to keep his home and most valuable possessions.
The settlement agreement brings to an end a yearslong saga over Giuliani’s false statements after the 2020 presidential election, when the former New York City mayor was a lawyer for then-President Donald Trump.
Posted by: SMOD
The two workers were afraid of criminal investigations to come that would put them in prison. Trump effect.
Rudy was treated just like the Jan 6ers in DC. Judge ruled that Rudy lost by default for not complying with a discovery motion. Rudy could not comply as the discovery items were seized and held by US DoJ.
Every one of those DC judges, GOP appointed or Dem, should be investigated via an impeachment inquiry and they should have a proctological exam of them and their lives to see if they like it so much. Try them for perjury and obstruction if they try to wiggle out of it.

A massive fire broke out at a Californian power plant early Friday morning, threatening one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in the world.
The blaze began in a building containing lithium-ion batteries hours earlier, an official at the Monterey County Sheriff’s office told the BBC.
The Moss Landing power plant, run by Vistra Corp, was evacuated, as were people in the surrounding area. No injuries were reported.
Officials are not actively fighting the fire, the Monterey Sheriff spokesperson said, and are instead leaving the building and the batteries to burn on the advice of fire experts.

>>>The legal pushback against woke capital continues, as investors are finding judges receptive to allowing lawsuits against companies pursuing DEI and ESG at the expense of profit and investor return, thus engaging in fiduciary negligence. A few days ago I wrote about American Airlines being found in violation of federal law for prioritizing ESG in a manner that caused harm to its employees’ 401ks.
Just as context, I noted these attempts at infiltrating corporate boards to push toward social investing ca. 2003. So the pendulum had a period of about 20 years here.

They're being pushed in the right direction though, given 2 days ago they said there'd be no inquiry and there was no reason to have one.

Nuclear waste storage issues would also be fixed if we reprocessed the waste. Generates more fuel for reactors and shrinks the amount of waste to store by orders of magnitude. Carter killed it (despite both Japan and France among others doing it) because it creates plutonium which Carter argued made the world less safe for nuclear weapons reduction.
NRC's reach also needs to be killed via Loper and legislation applied to its attempts to control all nuclear power reactor licensing. It has become a stumbling bloc to innovation and safety in power plants which the new modular ones would be.
Same as the EPA killing smog reducing technology and improvements in power generation using MHD in older power plants. The environment actually is hurt because power companies cannot update equipment via upgrades, only maintain older grandfathers facilities.

Percussive sounds like it involves musical instruments.
I don't think I'd be very good at beating people up but I'm sure others have those skills. My denomination required I attend a "white privilege" session
about 12 years ago. That was the first and last one I went to and it was not as abusive as those women's dinner parties seem to be. It was free and lead by my colleagues. I cant see shelling out good money to be abused at a 'dinner party."

A battery storage facility is not a "power plant". If anything, it's a net waster of energy, since owing to the laws of physics, it takes more energy to recharge the batteries than they can deliver to the grid.

But the left has used its power in cultural institutions to put a new definition of diversity into the lexicon: "the absence of white/straight persons in a group."
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, watching B-movies with Roger Corman at January 17, 2025 11:46 AM (GBKbO)
Absolutely!
Some teacher was asking their class to say whether or not a group was more or less diverse.
As whites were eliminated from each subsequent hypothetical, all the students agreed that the group was more diverse.
At the beginning there were a majority of whites and at the end there were none.
That end group was considered more diverse.
It's out there on the web somewhere. I never save such stuff, as sharing with libs is futile and sharing with the like minded is unnecessary.

Who: Chris Wright
Nominated for: Secretary of Energy
You might know them from: Wright is the CEO of Liberty Energy, a Denver-based oil and gas company.
He has a background in oil and gas, as well as geothermal, nuclear, and solar energy.
He has a long history developing technologies for fracking, a type of oil and gas extraction.
Some of his past online posts about climate change have contradicted the scientific consensus, including a video where he said, inaccurately, that global warming did not make more intense hurricanes, droughts and floods.

The recklessness and zeal by which the race grifters pursue their petty hatreds has the effect, intentional or not, of pushing people into a reactionary racism of their own. America in 1960 was maybe 90 percent caucasians. That has to look pretty good to Gen Z and young folks right now. Whites are maybe 4% of the world population? What’s all this talk about “Minorities” you say?
They made your race a Uniform. You may not be interested in race, but race is interested in You. That is absolutely unforgivable. A nation that revolves around civic nationalism cannot function under layers of bureaucratic bullshit caste system, punishing excellence and rewarding mediocrity.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., urged Gov. Kristi Noem not to take her "eye off the ball" by focusing too heavily on migrant crime instead of homegrown terrorism.
He noted the New Orleans attack that killed 14, where the attacker was a U.S. citizen who had been radicalized by ISIS.
"I know there's a lot of focus on the border. We all want more border security. We want to stop migrant crime, but let's not take our eye off the ball," said Blumenthal. "The governor of Louisiana for the Super Bowl ought to be really riveted on the potential for a homegrown terrorism as a threat."
Ye gods, what a complete and utter tool.

That end group was considered more diverse.

Wait, wouldn't the end group be all brown eyed and dark haired? There would be no blonds and gingers, and blue eyes? End group is less diverse for sure!

A battery has an inherent loss coming and going, it takes about 120 percent charge just to get back to 100 per cent.
One thing about solar and batteries, anyone messing around with DC storage should know better than most just how amazing petroleum is on an energy density basis. There is really nothing else that comes close, and not for the price.
Let’s say you have a car that gets 30 miles per gallon. Load it up with 2000 pounds. It costs 5 bucks for that gallon of gas. To go 30 miles.
Would you be willing to haul 2000 pounds 30 miles for 5 bucks? In the winter? Over a mountain, or through the desert?

Using a battery bank to store energy from natural gas fired turbines is beyond dumb; it's maliciously stupid. Turbine generators deliver dispatchable energy. Need more juice? Fire one up. Easy-peasy. Now windmills and solar panels cannot deliver dispatchable energy. They put out when the wind blows or the sun shines, and not at any other time. Adding a battery bank to either of those would turn it into a supplier of dispatchable energy, albeit of much less capacity than the peak possible output of the original source. (which is how off-grid home systems work)

NPR has a funny piece on Trump's pick-
Who: Chris Wright
Nominated for: Secretary of Energy
You might know them from: Wright is the CEO of Liberty Energy, a Denver-based oil and gas company.
He has a background in oil and gas, as well as geothermal, nuclear, and solar energy.
He has a long history developing technologies for fracking, a type of oil and gas extraction.
Some of his past online posts about climate change have contradicted the scientific consensus, including a video where he said, inaccurately, that global warming did not make more intense hurricanes, droughts and floods.

I am an all of the above on energy as small scale home solar can make a difference during power outages, etc. Not against other better technologies like heat pump water heaters (have one of those actually) or passive solar designs for home architecture. Never been against nuclear for baseline power generation and thought the China Syndrome was a silly movie worthy of SNL making fun of it with The Pepsi Syndrome skit.
But, I think the sun's output matters far more than whatever feeble effects that man has on Earth's temperature.

The windmills that the Osage Nation got scotched were on the ranch ground that’s owned ( surface rights) by the Chief justice of the Oklahoma State Supreme Court. That’s my understanding. The windmills also went in before the McGirt decision hit Oklahoma politics and were funding some of the local school districts. The whole matter revolved around the mineral rights and the fact that the Osage weren’t approached to approve the digging out of the bases of the windmill structures because nobody likes dealing with them because it’s always gets expensive and in a direction that’s padding a pocket. Those windmills are ugly and it looks like Bladerunner 2049 at night. But it was always a fight over who was and who was not getting paid. Sacred ground.

I don't think limited modified hangouts are going to work much longer. Part of it is that Reform Party in Parliament has scrambled the two parties covering up the mistakes of each.
You see the same thing in other Euro nations. The new parties don't give a shit about the mutual masturbation society that older political parties had going on to cover up bad or illegal policies. That is true in Germany, Sweden, Finland, Austria, etc.
That is why the existing power structures are panicking trying to censor everything and ban/smear these new parties.

How deep can you dig if you have surface rights? Six inches? Two feet? No digging?

However deep you need to till the soil to plant crops, or build roads?

People I have never met before lecturing me about white privilege doesn't fly. If my colleagues who I am friendly with who happen to be black people want to tell me that I'm racist o.k but give me specific examples. So far, I haven't asked them if I'm a racist and none of them have volunteered that information, maybe because we relate on the basis of our common humanity and shared interests ,our pastoral work and our faith in the Lord.

Thanks. One of the reasons that we have a legal system instead of justice is the incredible corruption of judges in this country and the legal profession in general. High powered lawyer and co-founder of Scotusblog has just been charged with tax evasion, hiring women to be his sex object with no work, and so on. Dude had argued over 40 cases at the US Supreme Court.

If you are building a home and can eschew common design, use a sun rose and put glass to take most advantage of it the difference will be yuge. In the South one must also include the ability control the amount of radiant energy or they will fry.

True dat. There are also some tricks like solar mass and even sand batteries to store heat for night time.
We use dark colored rocks and other tricks to create micro climates for some cold intolerant plants in our yard. Even a degree or two can help a plant. For a few, solar lights spotlighted on an evergreen plant during a cold snap can help as photosynthesis activity raises the plant's heat level during the night.

74 ... "Obama ran on Down With Whitey in 2008 and won. The Left figured this gave them carte blanche. They used the phony images of "little Trayvon" and the fact that George Zimmerman had an old white Jewish guy sounding name to really tear the country asunder."
No, he most certainly didn't. In 2008 the media suppressed all his past ties to Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright, and other race-baiters, and O's campaign rhetoric all pointed to him as someone who would finally resolve America's 200-year history of racial tensions. A lot of gullible wypipo fervently desired the peace he promised. (I didn't vote for him. Sarah Palin was the only reasoned I bothered voting for that crook McCain.)
But in 2009, as soon as O took office he immediately did the bait-and-switch and for eight straight years turned the Down With Whitey rhetoric up to eleven at every opportunity. I don't know how much of it was community-organizer opportunism and how much was sheer malice, but Americans of all races will suffer for fifty years from the harm he did.

Brown’s operating deficit could hit $90 million next year. It sounds like it’s time for Brown to start liquidating its $7 billion endowment
Brown's endowments' structure probably allows liquidation, and the comingling of those funds with general revenues. That raises questions of partial liquidation versus all-or-nothing. In either case, if Brown goes down that route it will be a long time before they ever see any new money.

I'd fire the guy for employing the Costanza defense. "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time."
It is not the “the spirit of our state law” it is black letter law. The law literally says you cannot discriminate on the basis of race.
