The evidence of the benefits continues to accumulate. During the week, I’ll go all day without eating, other than coffee and water. Of course, such articles always say this:
“I suggest people talk to their physician first,” Horne says.
In general, physicians are pretty ignorant about nutrition, and much of what they know is wrong.
He’s free, for now, but it’s sad to see the degree to which even some conservatives in England have fallen.
…is nuts:
“We’re fighting nature with the amount of material we’re putting in the environment, and that material traps heat, and the heat fosters fires, and the fires keep burning,” he said.
The governor added that “since civilization emerged 10,000 years ago, we haven’t had this kind of heat condition, and it’s going to continue getting worse and that’s the way it is.”
“Some people don’t want to accept that, some just outright deny it,” Brown continued. “I don’t say it with any great joy here – we’re in for a very rough ride. It’s going to get expensive. It’s going to get dangerous, and we have to apply all our creativity to make the best of what is going to be an increasingly bad situation, not just for California, but for people all over America and all over the world.”
Brown said the state’s budget would also have to figure in the cost of increased fire fury in the upcoming years. “So far, this fire activity is a small part of our very large budget, but it is growing and it will continue to grow as we adapt to the changing weather,” he said.
The governor said that steps to combat global warming can still, eventually, “shift the weather back to where it historically was.”
Uh huh.

So the heat is worse than when civilization began according to Gov Jerry Brown, So I guess he believes California was uncivilized before 2007, cause 2006,2005,2003 maxes all look warmer to anyone that bothers looking More climate ambulance chasing, more weaponizing weather pic.twitter.com/jRc7drVNqp

More history from Joe Bastardi.
…is the most pro-black president in history.
Yes, pull their clearances; they’re dangerous, partisan hacks.
I will note, though, that there’s been a lot of confusion on this issue. One does not need to work for the federal government to have a clearance, and one doesn’t intrinsically give it up when one leaves government service. When someone leaves the employ of a contractor to go work for a different one, their clearance goes with them, and often when someone leaves government service, they retain their clearance so they can work on classified projects in the private sector, or as a consultant. But those two clowns have abused their privileges, both in office and out. I think they should not only lose their clearances, but be in jail.
The administration is backing off on CAFE rules.
Good. They should never have existed in the first place. The federal government has no business telling auto makers what kind of mileage cars should get (or how many gallons a toilet should use to flush).
This is pretty forward thinking. It would be nice if Congress would get the memo.
Iain Murray explains why bureaucracies hate it.
Marina Koren has a deep dive into the mess at NASA. As I noted to her on Twitter, this goes all the way back to the 70s with Shuttle, when NASA should have told Congress it couldn’t be built to the USAF specs with the provided budget, but they instead moved forward and hoped for the best.
I and others have been pointing this out since Trump was elected, and it just continues to get worse:
So, you think that there’s a bumbling madman in the White House who is Literally Hitler, and that the military is made up of reactionary goons who swear fealty to this guy, and the police of the nation are engaged in a coordinated conspiracy to straight-up murder oppressed minorities…and also those are the only people who should have guns. Your worldview is wack.
No kidding.

OK, Andrea Mitchell, I wish you loons could make up your minds. Is Trump Hitler, or is he Stalin?
