It was the clearest the lake has been since the 1980s (snip) a report from the Tahoe Environmental Research Center concluded that the change in zooplankton was the largest contributor toward improving the lake’s clarity. (snip) The waters of Lake Tahoe are clearing up because God made creatures that clean it up.

Thinks ARE improving everywhere, and the EPA claim to the contrary is, in almost every case, a lie based on changing the definitions of "pollution" to tighter and tighter measurements. The "need" for gas and diesel cars to always emit less and less emissions, and to have ever increasing gas mileage requirements are fraudulent. By about 1985 the emission regulations were tight enough, and didn't need to EVER become any more stringent. The air was CLEAN and the water in most places is clean. There may be a few special cases, POSSIBLY, but in general, the EPA needed to be LOCKED DOWN and prevented from tightening air and water restrictions about 40 years ago. The EPA today is doing evil.

The cloudiness was actually caused by humans. Humans that work for the government. Mysid shrimp (Mysis relicta) were introduced into Lake Tahoe in the 1960's by the state departments of fish and game of Nevada and California. The shrimp were introduced to increase forage for game fish, namely kokanee which were thought to provide food for lake trout.

The same thing happened here in Michigan with the Great Lake Erie. It was declared 'dead' in the 70s (?) because of the heavy industrial pollution. By the early 2000s it had become again a healthy, vibrant lake. Mother Nature knows how to protect itself and can usually undo Man's damage successfully!

So humans introduce highly invasive shrimp which destroys the lake's clarity and eventually nature rescues itself. So much for the EPA! Completely agree with #1.

I challenge any scientist to point out one thing that proves mankind has the ability to "hurt" this planet, or cause damage it can't fix itself, given time. Name one. As I like to say, the earth is a voracious, murderous, unforgiving machine, that is responsible for more human genocide than any despotic dictator in human history. The earth is anything but something to be "worshipped," as the leftist elites tend to worship their, "Mother Gaia." Offering "sacrifices" to "Gaia" through "Carbon Neutrality," "Sustainability," or any other such actions is no different than the Mayan High Priest cutting the beating heart out of the chest of a bound village maiden on the stone slab in a ritual to avert a bad harvest. The philosophy is the same. Earth will do what earth will do, and we. like bacteria on a beachball, can do nothing about it.

Simple logic would tell you the lake is clearer because if the reduced runoff into the lake from the low rain/snow fall over the last few years. Lets see how clear it is this year after the massive snow packs melts.

In Carson city we are twenty minutes from beautiful South Lake Tahoe and we love it here! So much snow this winter keeps the mountains beautiful too. Beautiful Lake and beautiful mountains. Too bad the Democrats slither around here so close to Kalifornia...

What Might Be Keeping Tucker Carlson Quiet 7 replies
Posted by Magnante 5/6/2023 5:16:01 AM Post Reply
In a previous post, I described the implications for all of us if Tucker Carlson has gagged himself by signing a "non-disparagement agreement" (NDA). But NDAs are not the only method available to unethical media companies, universities, churches, and others to silence those who speak a bit too much truth. Many contracts now contain Mandatory Arbitration (M.A.) clauses, often disguised, requiring that "employment disputes" be adjudicated in secret by private arbitrators. (snip) the dismissed have no recourse to publicity, because the M.A. keeps everything secret.
Judge in Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial
engages in blatant dissimulation

My assessment of the probability of Donald Trump receiving a fair trial on the highly questionable charges (falsifying business records) brought against him by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg just plummeted to subterranean levels. The judge in the case just metaphorically peed on Trump’s leg and told him it was raining, to employ a venerable and colorful American expression. He issued a gag order and specified that he was not issuing a gag order and violated Trump’s First Amendment rights while claiming he didn’t violate his First Amendment rights. The technical name, albeit a less flamboyant one than the metaphor of micturition, is dissimulation.
Biden needs Lilly's new Alzheimer's treatment 12 replies

President Trump enthusiastically touts his support of the Right to Try law, passed in May, 2018. Ironically, it may benefit one of his main political adversaries. In what is a glorious development for elders and their caregivers, Eli Lilly’s Alzheimer’s treatment donanemab slowed the disease’s progression in a pivotal phase 3 trial. A monthly antibody infusion reduced brain plaque associated with Alzheimer’s. In fact, patients in the trial demonstrated a 35% slower decline in memory. As pointed out by Barrons’ Josh Nathan-Kazis, the drug’s efficacy marks, “an extraordinary moment in the decades-long struggle to find treatments for Alzheimer’s.” Having missed the trial itself, Biden is a strong candidate
E. Jean Carroll's Trump-bashing 14 replies

According to the May 2 New York Times, on the last day of her testimony in her civil suit against Donald J. Trump alleging rape, E. Jean Carroll insisted that she was fired as advice columnist for Elle because President Trump called her a liar, not because she gave an excerpt of her book to rival New York magazine. This question immediately came to mind: would a New York City-based editor dismiss a columnist because Trump called her a liar? That question was answered by this follow-up question: In media circles, isn't criticism from Pres. Trump considered a badge of honor?

Someday, if America is saved, there may be a museum to memorialize the Covid dead. There will be a wing for those killed by the disease who died at home after being refused early treatment. There will be a wing for those who died of the vaccine and another for those who died from the lockdowns. And, surely, one wing will be dedicated to those who died in hospitals due to deadly protocols. (snip) If the hospitals were indeed crime scenes, then we must look for the criminals’ motive. (snip) a classic crime motive: money. The federal government paid hospitals lavish bonuses to enforce a specific deadly protocol.

A scorched earth campaign against Tucker Carlson has been anticipated, and the first leak of behind-the-scenes video has dropped, fed to Soros-funded Media Matters, which long has been trying to get both Carlson and Fox News silenced. Someone with access to the video feed from Tucker Carlson’s home studios has leaked a video that they must have expected to be damaging to the former top-rated host, but which really damages the streaming video service, Fox Nation. If Carlson is to be blamed, it would be for being frank and honest in a private conversation.

With their decision to take Tucker Carlson’s show off the air, Fox News’s Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch have failed to account for media and political dynamics that have, over a period of years, shifted under their feet. The Murdochs’ decision will inevitably prove catastrophic for Fox News and will likely be an inflection point that marks a wholesale change to a media landscape that, to paraphrase Matt Taibbi, has calcified in progressive concrete. (snip) Could there be a more fundamental act of disloyalty to Fox’s viewers?

As Fox News moves leftward, CNN, the sick man of cable news, just aired a segment that would hearten any alienated FNC viewers that happened to catch it. Is this a portent of things to come? The New York Post reports on the confrontation that must have shocked Randi Weingarten, the head of the AFT who this past week falsely claimed to a congressional committee that she had fought every day to reopen schools, when, in fact, she and her union were the major force keeping them closed. A paid CNN commentator, Scott Jennngs, delivered the truth bomb.

God must approve of MAGA, because Donald Trump is surely blessed. He's never been a politician, and he's famously undisciplined on the campaign trail.

I am dismayed that Donald Trump seems to be adopting the tactics of the Biden-dominated DNC and rejecting the opportunity for voters to hear directly from candidates for their parties’ nomination in a presidential debate. In a post on Truth Social, he writes: I see that everybody is talking about the Republican Debates, but nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them. When you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP & MAGA hating anchors asking the “questions,” why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?

There was a lot of discourse around President Joe Biden turning down King Charles III’s invitation to the coronation. Even though a U.S. president has never attended a coronation, some critics felt like this was a snub against the royal family. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and her granddaughter, Finnegan, went instead, but now, Twitter is calling foul on their less-than-ideal seating placement. Users of the social media platform are frustrated that coronation organizers wanted world leaders there, but when they got the first lady instead, they feel like King Charles didn’t treat her with the respect she deserves. And boy, did they have some thoughts.

Two weeks ago, President Joe Biden announced that he is running for reelection in 2024, promising to “finish the job”. What exactly does he want to finish, other than American exceptionalism as we know it? America is rapidly imploding on many fronts – financial and economic, cultural, safety, and our place in the world. Does finishing the job mean erasing every achievement of former President Donald Trump? Or is he completing former President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign promise, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America"?

U.S. Air Force abandoned an experiment aimed at boosting pilot training graduation rates for women and minority pilots after the 2021 initiative failed to achieve the intended results and officers privately warned it could violate anti-discrimination policies, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. As part of the larger military-wide effort to promote diversity in the service’s pilot ranks, the 19th Air Force command near San Antonio, Texas, “clustered” racial minorities and female trainees into one class, dubbed “America’s Class,” to find out if doing so would improve the pilots’ graduation rates.

Vida, who was in the Navy for over 30 years and currently servers on the Naval Academy Alumni Association Board of Trustees, defended the Navy’s use of drag queen recruiting ads as a "critical" method of welcoming "traditionally excluded segments of our population."

Amid the fanfare of King Charles' coronation over the weekend, it was easy to miss President Biden's climate czar John Kerry — who flew to the U.K. without regard for the emissions his travel necessitated — sitting in attendance at the official ceremony. There were some, however, who did pick Kerry out in the crowd and noted something interesting about his appearance. Dressed in a suit, the former Secretary of State was weighed down with service medals from the United States military...the medals he previously was publicly proud to discard as a show of his allegedly strongly held convictions.

In the span of a few weeks, the Biden administration has proposed regulations that would effectively ban gas stoves, force a massive shift to electric cars, sharply raise the cost of dishwashers, increase loan costs for frugal borrowers, regulate puddles as “navigable waters,” and limit hunting and fishing across the country. It will soon release a proposed rule targeting power plants with hugely expensive carbon capture mandates. This is just the tip of the spear. As the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Clyde Wayne Crews put it recently, “President Biden is leading an unprecedented expansion of the administrative state.

California has rolled out a program ostensibly designed to stop hate crimes and other acts of bigotry. How? By creating a hotline allowing residents to snitch on one another for engaging in “hateful” activity. The program, which is called “California vs Hate,” is “a non-emergency hate incident and hate crime reporting system to support individuals and communities targeted for hate,” according to its website. The state legislature provided funding to its Civil Rights Department to establish the initiative.
