"Rising sea levels" has been one of the climate alarmist myths that just doesn't hold water. For a time the UN used to use the South Pacific islands nations of Tuvalu and Kiribati as poster boys for "rising sea level" saying they would be the first countries consumed by the sea. However, a funny thing happened. A university in Australia decided to measure how fast the islands were disappearing, using recon maps from World War II and comparing them to aeriel photographs from today. When they did the comparision, they found that most of the islands were actually growing not shrinking, and at least they had the honesty to publish their findings, even though they put egg on the face of the climate alarmists and the UN.

With all the climate alarmist oracles like Al Gore and Barack Obama buying multi-million dollar seafrong mansions, it is clear that even they do not really believe the hogwash about rising sea levels. After all, actions speak louder than words, as the old saying goes. Heck if we believed some of Al Gore's early rantings, Florida would not be here today.

Then, of course, there are the documented warm periods of the past, like the multi-century Medieval Warm Period, when it was warmer than today. None of the low lying port cities of that era got flooded by "rising sea levels". Thats a fact! Or the granddaddy of all warm periods, the Holocene Maximum, which was much warmer than today and lasted three thousand years. It corresponded with the Bronze Age of human development, when ancient Greek culture thrived. We know where the coastal cities of ancient Greece were located, and again, there was clearly no "rising sea level" inundating them.

The facts do not fit your whack-a-doodle theory.

Why is Desatan spending 550 million to improve infrastructure due to raising sea leaves in southern Florida? What’s going on there?

The NC Legislature has long been the handmaiden of Big Health or Big Medicine. It has consistently voted against NC citizens and for insurers and large hospital systems. Interesting that the postcard says "cut government red tape" while the DHS is asking for more money to accommodate more Medicaid recipients. And the Legislature, DHS and Big Medicine have all studiously avoided addressing the $1 Billion in fraud in NC Medicaid. Only the taxpayers suffer.

You are usually all-in on all the tranny stuff, so I thought you would look favorably on the godfather of gender transition surgery, even though he was a Nazi pig war criminal. Are you that out of touch that you do not comprehend that your far left positions ARE big government positions, Little Bobbie?

You refuse to condemn a REAL lynch mob, the one made up of tranny terrorists that attacked Riley Gaines and held her captive, yet you are constantly fantasizing about make belief lynch mobs that exist only in your deranged mind.

Projection at its best

Does me calling nazi pigs, pigs, offend you?
Sorry I’m just not a big government guy. With some exception medical care isn’t the government’s business. Still not joining your deranged lynch mob.

Moore is an old Tillis ally, so we should have expected his liberalism. He needs to be put out to pasture at the earliest opportunity. One wonders if any more shoes will drop from Moore's other bed partners? One also wonders how he paid off Scott Lassiter. If it was money from a campaign fund, someone needs to look into the legality of that.

Tim Moore and Phil Berger represent the same problem in Raleigh that we have with Tillis in Washington, DC.

Well, Little Bobbie, what do you have to say about the Nazi war criminal doctor who invented sex reassignment surgery? I would certainly call him a pig, too, but I doubt you aould.

The Nazis were bad and it is good they were destroyed, and another totalitarian movement that started in Europe that killed and oppressed even more people, communism, is still a threat today. Also, in the current climate the green totalitarianism whose figurehead is Greta Thunberg, is a huge threat to freedom and democracy.

But on balance, many good political ideas have come out of Europe, including many political thinkers behind concepts of freedom and democracy. The current trend in Europe is a good example of that.

Yes it has. Maybe because the other companies have found it unprofitable due to the fact every other year they have to pay billions in hurricane damage or it could be just a "thing" that happens for "reasons". I'm stumped.

One can easily find idiots on both sides. SB14 will likely pass. Then there is Q. All idiots.

Many political movements, both good an bad, begin in Europe and find their way to the United States. Hopefully this conservative movement will find its way here in 2024.

Insurance companies abandoning the home insurance market in Florida? What’s that about?
