MAYOR OF LONDON THREATENS TRUMP: Let Muslims in or they will attack America!

Now I wonder why so many back Trump in trying to ban Muslims from the United States? Anyone with common sense just needs to observe what is happening in Europe to see what their invasion has done to their host countries.

I love it when Muslims speak the truth to us in plain English so even the politically ignorant can understand them.

If he has said something like, " It's just widows and three year old that want to get away, what are you afraid of, Islamophobe?" it might generate sympathy and be a little harder to oppose.

This made me laugh out loud when I read it. It wasn't too much later that a tweet directed at the new mayor landed in my feed which basically said bleep you and the horse you rode in on. It can't have been the only one sent.

Bill Nye is a huckster. Duh. So are Hansen and Mann.

Bill Nye is not a scientist. The only non-honorary degree he holds is a bachelor's in mechanical engineering. He has apparently never contributed to a peer-reviewed published paper in any scientific discipline.

But because he wore a bow-tie and lab coat on television, on a show that taught science at about the level of understanding of most journalism and communications majors, he is awarded a degree of authority well beyond his qualifications.

As an engineer, he should know enough about thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and differential equations to understand the limits of predictability of complex, non-linear, and dynamical systems, as well as data gathering and metrology to understand that the models being used cannot extract trends reliably at the levels they are claiming. Also he should be able to recognize the fundamental instability of dynamical systems under the domination of high positive feedbacks.

Talk like that doesn't get you love from the in crowd. These hucksters are more interested in lining their pockets than science.

re Trump presidency would revive neutered Congress, restore power to the people

Of course it will.

!) Dems will oppose him bacause he has an 'R' after his name.

2) A percentage of the GOP will oppose him as well. Just because.

3) The media won't let him get away with 1% of what Jug Ears has done. They will be calling him a dictator wannabe or accusing him of trashing the Constitution and calling for investigations for things they turned a blind eye to under 0bama.

RE Teacher To Be Prosecuted For Calling Mohammed Child Molester

In the 21st century, I find it astonishing that any authority would prosecute someone for calling that sex fiend pervert pedo Mo a "child molester", when the Holey Coran clearly establishes the short eyes as a rock spider chomo deviant diaper sniping skinner.

RE Everyone I don't like is Hitler

I believe psychologists call this splitting. See also, Godwin's Law

Many good topics today. The neuromyths is well worth reading twice.

I was taught 'learning styles' as if it was God's word.
