multiple species of cicadas (locusts) reappear every 13 or 17 years

This is driven by evolution. When there is a long cycle species the predatory species in the area can evolve to have a cycle of their own that matches so they have a high population when there are more prey. If the cycle was an even number the predatory species could cycle every other year and get much of the benefit of matching, if it was a multiple of 3 then the predators can cycle every three years. So the growing species is pushed into prime number cycles so that predatory species can’t easily follow the cycle.

It revealed the power of the media to not just report the news, but to reshape it to fit media bias, to cultivate it, to take a story’s small microphone and turn it into a megaphone.

MacRae ignores the reverse, where a large organization uses their power to suppress a big story. Abuse by Catholic priests would have made the press long before it did because the Catholics used their power to hide priests that had sexually abused people. Even today the full scope of the problem isn’t known.

Donald J. Trump #mammon #wingnut

This is an attempt to counter balance the coming cuts to medicare, it’s pure political theater. Trump tried essentially the same executive order in his first term and it was ruled illegal in court, eventually. This lets him claim he is doing something with it’s eventual dismissal being far enough in the future it won’t matter.

It got me to thinking, how do I know that consanguinity is as genetically dangerous as I have been led to believe?

There are a bunch of issues but basic genetics and recessive genes should have been covered in high school. If you marry outside the family the risk of having a partner with the same recessive gene is very small, if you marry a close relative it goes way up.

“inherently known” means assumptions at best and reality is under no obligation to conform to your assumptions. There are a bunch of very rare conditions that destroy any simple classification.

Books and letters from the period show village priests constantly complaining that villagers ignored the authority of the church. From playing soccer on the church yard and skipping mass to hiding premarital sex from church courts. For it’s part the Catholic officials largely didn’t care as long as they got their money.

Hannity is also mistaken about research. The big pharmaceutical companies don’t do much open ended long term research, it’s expensive and incredibly hit or miss. 90% produces nothing and when it does work it as likely to find medication for some unrelated problem as not. Most of the research done by big parma is for cosmetics, does making this blush 10% redder make people look better and sell better? They spend 100s of millions on that sort of stuff because cosmetics are highly profitable, highly competitive and the FDA does force them to check that every change in the formula is safe.

Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family friendly video games is continuing to be the voice of diversity in the gaming media, and media at large.

Really? I would have assumed you hate DEI but here you are claiming to be a champion of diversity.

I know of other conservative gaming media outlets that struggle financially. Are we being discriminated against for being Christian? Are we being discriminated against for being conservative?

Almost all gaming media struggles financially, it’s a very tough business in general. Conservative Christian is a small fraction of that. Those in power don’t have to discriminate against you, you picked a market so small it’s insignificant.

As National Socialists, we hold this truth to be self-evident: that the United States of America was at its inception a country founded of, by and for White people, regardless of what it has become or degenerated into today.

That has never been true. It was almost entirely white when founded because the founders came from Europe but it has never been 100% white. The degeneration is at your end, thinking the country is defined by race and territory rather then ideals and laws.

Pedro Afonso #wingnut

Trump’s indifference to political norms has resulted in him doing some good things but only by accident. In his first term he arraigned for the pull out of Afghanistan, something no other politician would touch. He didn’t pull the US out because he realized the US had failed to stop the Taliban, he pulled out because he didn’t care about the people who lived in Afghanistan or previous US commitments.
The same logic has led him to do some terrible things, like not strongly backing Ukraine.

Michael P. McDonald #fundie #conspiracy

For 50 years the Catholic League has led the charge in every major cultural battle, and in 2023, we continued this tradition.

That might even be sort of true once you realize he said nothing about it leading the charge for the side of good. It’s really over stating the power of the Catholic League though.

For those of you who were born in the 70s like me, has life gotten easier or harder since then? Has your quality of life increased or decreased? Do things feel safer or less safe?

It’s gotten easier and the quality of life better for most people. Crime is way down since the 70s. Inflation means the prices of everything is higher but salaries have gone up also. Housing markets suck but Trump has promised to make that situation worse. You feel worse because the media is drawing people in on bad news instead of a balanced view of what is really happening.
Let go of your emotions and think for a moment. An outsider blindly wrecking the existing system isn’t going to replace it with a better system. Trump is making himself dictator and already talking about which Americans he wants to send to concentration camps outside the US.

This isn’t complex. Tesla is a business built on selling to generally left leaning people. Then Musk went to work for a radical right wing government and acted as a chainsaw man. Crudely cutting government programs all over the place with a focus on cutting programs that the left likes and left leaning programs.
At the same time, the Chinese government is cutting Tesla out of the Chinese market because China can make reasonable electric cars of their own now and cybertrucks turned out not to meet European safety standards.

Ben Garrison #wingnut

I would point out how he is wrong but it’s across the board. This is just echoing White House talking points.
The Trump administration applied tariffs to places that are not countries because they didn’t really know what they were doing or check the list of countries.

A Christian should agree that the platform of the Democratic Party is immediately in violation of Christian morality and therefore, a Christian can never be a Democrat. After all, the Party’s open embrace of LGBT policies and abortion automatically disqualifies the Democratic Party from Christian affiliation[…]

Christianity is strictly opposed to usury. The American federal finance, treasury and banking systems are all based on usury. If your going to get that kinds of strict a Christian can’t be American.

The National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP)[…]was by definition more Christian than the modern American Republican Party[…]

The Nazis allied with the church to secure power. When push came to shove the Nazis required the church change their dogma to match the Nazis. They simply lied about how much they agreed with the church. If you think that is acceptable then your loyalty is more to the Nazis then to Christianity.

Some will claim that the invasion of other countries was demonstrably un-Christian[…]NSDAP Germany did not invade any country that was not part of its pre-World War I territory until war was declared on Germany

If Germany had limited itself to Sudetenland, where most of the population was ethnic German and wanted to join Germany WWII wouldn’t have happened. Germany moved on to Poland where the two sides didn’t like each other and the Poles understood that the Germans wanted to displace the population and take all of the good farmland. That invasion started WWII in Europe.
Except for a few core areas that idea that any particular piece of territory was inherently part of any particular country in that region is just wrong. The kingdoms, countries and empires of the area had been trading land back and forth for centuries. Germany itself was assembled out of bits and pieces, parts of which was conquered lands from previous wars.

A lot of Christians take this position because there is no way out of Hell. If it was possible for any creature condemned to hell to actually become good or deserve to leave hell would imply that god was less then perfectly good. The only way to make their beliefs sensible is if only the irredeemably evil are trapped in hell.

If the government can deport illegal aliens without any review then they can effectively deport legal aliens and American citizens. Once they kick anyone out without any supervision or oversight then there is nothing stopping them from removing anybody they don’t like.

Sean Hannity #wingnut

Trump isn’t asking for fair trade or free trade, he wants the US to be able to set terms of trade unilaterally. That the US be able to export without restrictions or tariffs but be able to set tariffs on imports. It’s like the right wing idea of Free Speech, where they can insult other people but they want to shut down insults that target them.

Wayne Allyn Root #conspiracy #wingnut

If Trump could show that the 2020 election was stolen he would have done so long ago. He can’t because it wasn’t. Election fraud, SSA fraud, government contracting fraud, corruption, the Republicans believe in all of these things just because they want them to be true, not because they have any proof. The MAGA end of the party is literally turning into a religion, with a specific set of doctrine that must be held on faith alone.

Jeffrey Goldberg didn’t leak the plans because he is an actually good journalist. They are available online now, except for a few specific names that Goldberg redacted, because the White House tried to deny the leak happened at all.

Elon Musk is a Nazi

That isn’t a salute you make by accident and his behavior backs it up. Like many he leaned liberal when he needed the support of other people but when he got power he got authoritarian. Free speech for me, not for you.

It was so bad that some networks didn’t even cover his rescue of the stranded crew from the ISS simply because they didn’t want him to get any hint of positive media coverage.

Musk was not in any way involved in the return of the astronauts, nor did he offer to do it for free. He was just trying to take credit for other people’s work.

Cause and effect is not an absolute rule. At the level of quantum physics there are things that happen without cause.
Radiation happens only in certain heavy elements but the timing of when the emission happens is random. There is no cause for when something radioactive breaks down.

It’s part of a well-orchestrated movement to return financial power to the people—Patriots—who’ve been locked out of true wealth by a system rigged in favor of the elite.

Have you paid any attention to what Trump has done in his life? He has spent most trying to get into the elite and screw the regular people. He can’t though because he is too bad at it, he constantly has to turn to petty grifting because his big projects fail.

It’s called the Quantum Financial System (QFS)—a secure, AI-driven, asset-backed infrastructure designed to replace the corrupt fiat model with real-world accountability and value.

Buzz word bingo finance. Asset backed doesn’t help because the value of physical goods shift, before fiat currency governments still had money crunches.

Diamonds, long recognized for their scarcity, intrinsic value, and resilience against inflation or manipulation. These are integrated into the asset ledger of the QFS itself, anchoring transactions in tangible wealth.

Diamonds can be made in laboratories now and their value is mostly as a luxury good. The price is artificially kept high by the financial elite you claim to hate. If you want something better then oil at least has more inherent value.

Reminder, Hillary messed up running an email server for State department matters but nothing was illegal. In part because the law was outdated and did not cover email security well, but not illegal. Most of the rest is in your imagination, inventing crimes to pin on Hillary that didn’t happen.

Andrew John (The Sun) #magick #wingnut #racist #conspiracy

Trump doesn’t really use chaos, disruption and belief as a source of power. His memory is so bad he doesn’t remember what he did yesterday and he has a pathological aversion to taking responsibility.
And a large part of the reason he wanted to be president is because he isn’t part of the global elite. The old school in NY and the political network shunned him because he is too low class. The only people that deal with him are the ones with enough money they can just straight up bribe him or the ones willing to say anything to butter him up.

An Armchair Geopolitical Analyst #wingnut #racist #conspiracy

Obviously all of these unparalleled and extraordinarily aggressive acts of presidential imperialism betray an ultra-classified top secret which is soon to be revealed to the world-at-large.

Or that Trump is petty, aggressive and concerned with only himself. Trump wants to do something that will go down in history. Stopping the war in Ukraine would qualify as would expanding the US. That the other people involved might not agree barely registers and isn’t a big burden.

Most 9 year olds today don’t have periods and aren’t psychologically mature.

9 is too young but the underlying statement here is also wrong. Due to the higher exposure to hormones and complex chemicals modern females are hitting puberty at younger ages on average.

teenagers are having tons of abortions due to casual sexual intercourse and you are here preaching that it is pedophilia ?

Tons of abortions is a lie put out by conservatives of many stripes. Abortions are rare and the number goes down if people get better educations and access to medical support.

Russia has a long history of border problems but it’s caused more then had inflicted on it.

There is a big unspoken difference between these situations. When a comedian says something about violence as a shared problem he is asking for the problem to be fixed. When a white racist says something about violence in minority communities he is saying the problem can’t be fixed and the minorities should be removed.

This is far right propaganda. Publicly the two people and governments played friendly at times as long as they were trying to avoid war. Private records make clear Hitler and FDR disliked each other from the start. Hitler associated FDR with German defeat in WWI, an inexcusable crime in the Nazi mind. FDR recognized that Hitler was looking to reclaim German position as a military power and this required winning a war.

Both DSDs you listed are males. The presence of the Y chromosome, regardless of it being active or not, means a person is a male.

In that interview, the pilot explained that Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) are supposed to “bounce off” of these geoengineered, electromagnetically-charged layers of differing densities.

This wouldn’t work. Not to mention the absurdity of the chemtrail idea but if there was enough power to charge the atmosphere on that scale it would be easy to build lasers and shoot the ICBMS down.

workers become cheaper because they do not feel so poor when they don't have to their money taken by income taxes

That really doesn’t matter much. If you pay $10K in taxes per year then you have $10K less money. How paid it only makes a slight difference to people and makes none at all to companies.
FairTax is conceptually appealing, the idea being to only tax things once in the production cycle. The problem is that makes it very easy to manipulate also. Declare yourself a reseller and you can buy at untaxed wholesale price.
