Joe Biden promised that there would be fewer fires, floods, and hurricanes if he wins in November. He claimed that climate change caused fires in the West, floods in the Midwest, and hurricanes on the East Coast. That's not right.
I grew up doing wildland fire mitigation in dry Colorado, and my Eagle project focused on clearing brush and duff to mitigate wildfires. Mitigation and controlled burning are essential for preventing forest fires, and California has been preventing them via red tape.
Also, thanks to @JunkScience for pointing out that floods in the Midwest are nothing new. The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was far worse than the flooding last year. Finally, as @RyanMaue pointed out, hurricanes are not a result of climate change.
Trump's reelection would not usher in more "hellish" climate disasters and Biden's victory would not prevent them. Natural disasters are a tragic part of life and we have to mitigate them and restrain them, not blame them on climate change.

🚨Why is the Biden-Harris administration so woke? Didn't Biden campaign as a moderate?🤔
This chart explains what happened. Bear with me: I know it looks like a conspiracy theory, but I have the receipts.
In short: The Left's dark money network funds a system of woke nonprofits that staff and advise the administrative state, getting their far-left policy agenda implemented in the federal government.
My book, "The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government," outlines exactly how this works and zeroes in on a few key issues.
One of the biggest issues for me has been the weaponization of federal law enforcement against conservatives.
At the center of this is the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left smear factory that puts mainstream conservative and Christian groups on a "hate map" with the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC targets organizations that oppose its far-left agenda on critical race theory, immigration, transgender issues, and more.
SPLC President Margaret Huang has bragged that federal law enforcement reached out to the SPLC for advice on combatting the "domestic terror threat," and FOIA documents reveal the extent of the SPLC's influence in government. SPLC leaders and staff have visited the White House at least 18 times, according to visitor logs.
The SPLC has also received funding💰 from the Foundation to Promote Open Society, the Proteus Fund, the New Venture Fund, and the Tides Foundation.
The vast influence campaign I call the Woketopus has also monkeyed with election rules. The leftist group Demos has extensive ties to the Biden-Harris administration.
When the Senate failed to advance the Democrats' H.R. 1 bill that would have amounted to a federal takeover of elections, Biden instead signed an executive order that echoed a Demos paper nearly word-for-word.
This executive order enlisted federal agencies in registering voters, and early in the administration's implementation of the order, the government convened a host of Woketopus groups — including SPLC, the Tides Foundation, and many others — to a "listening session." Conspicuously absent was any conservative group or any group warning about election integrity.😲
🚨EXCLUSIVE: How many U.S. Muslims deny Hamas' crimes on Oct. 7? A surprisingly high amount.
A @J_L_Partners poll commissioned by @Heritage asked the general population and U.S. Muslims whether Hamas committed murder and rape on Oct. 7. 64% of Americans said Hamas did. Only 31% of U.S. Muslims agreed.
39% of U.S. Muslims said Hamas did NOT commit murder and rape on Oct. 7😲
Only 1/3 of U.S. Muslims☪️ said Israel🇮🇱 has a right to exist as a Jewish homeland. Two-thirds of the overall American population supported Israel's right to exist.
A large plurality—43%—of U.S. Muslims said Israel does not have a right to exist as a Jewish homeland, while only 11% of the overall American population agreed.
The poll also asked how the US🇺🇸 should respond if Iran🇮🇷 attacks Israel🇮🇱 (The poll was conducted before Iran's airstrikes into Israel earlier this month)
37% of U.S. Muslims said America "should not support Israel at all."‼️
72% of Americans overall said the US should defend Israel with US troops (17%), or give military aid short of sending troops (35%), or support Israel diplomatically only (20%).
48% of U.S. Muslims said America should support Israel either with troops (9%), with military aid (14%), or at least diplomatically (25%).
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Eric Cubin, a radiologist, was booted from his state's Board of Medicine for supporting a bill named after @ChoooCole, a bill that would ban transgender experiments for minors, which are falsely called "gender-affirming care." Now, he's suing.
Today, @LJCenter is filing a preliminary injunction, asking a federal court to restore Cubin to the Wyoming Board of Medicine while the court considers his First Amendment lawsuit against Gov. Mark Gordon.
Cubin claims Gordon unconstitutionally retaliated against the doctor for his free speech.
“I was removed from the Wyoming State Board of Medicine because I took a stand to protect the children in our state," Cubin told me.
He explained that he sent a letter to the Wyoming House of Representatives because the Wyoming Medical Society (of which he is a member) publicly opposed Chloe's Law. He asked the society to clarify that not all of its member doctors oppose Chloe's Law, but the society did not respond to him.
"I had been misrepresented by the Wyoming Medical Society and had no choice but to speak up for what I believe to be right," he told me.‼️ “I urged our legislators to be circumspect about the information they were being provided and cautious about what they allow physicians to do to kids in our state—something that is now the law across Wyoming."
Gov. Gordon, a Republican who begrudgingly signed Chloe's Law in March, removed Cubin from the Board of Medicine. He suggested that Cubin had chosen to "express personal beliefs in a way that can be construed as speaking for [the Board of Medicine]." Gordon said Cubin's letter might give doctors "a reason to be concerned that you might use your position to advocate for a particular position when considering matters that should be considered absent an agenda or pejudice."
Yet Cubin had been speaking for himself, not for the board, and other board members had advocated before the Legislature in support of legislation—in one case arguing against providing care for babies born alive in attempted abortions.
Furthermore, Gordon has a bad record on standing up against transgender orthodoxy. The governor declined to sign a bill banning males from competing in girls' sports, calling it "overly draconian." While he signed Chloe's Law, he also expressed concerns that protecting kids from experimental trans treatments might undermine parental rights.🤔
🚨Legacy media outlets are touting the 200 "Republicans" who signed an open letter backing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.🤔 I was curious, so I teamed up with @TheElizMitchell and did a little digging.
As it turns out, this list has three groups of "former Bush, McCain, and Romney staff" who arguably don't belong and may have been added just to pad the numbers:
1⃣INTERNS. Yes, people who interned for a presidential campaign or a Senate office are on this list as if they represent GOP politicos.
2⃣Apolitical staff. There's a guy who flew Marine One for George W. Bush (props) who also flew Marine One for *checks notes* Barack Obama. Not exactly a GOP politico, huh?
3⃣People who went on to work for Democrats in more political roles.
If you want to publicly back Harris, fine. But this list doesn't represent some sort of groundswell among Republicans. dailysignal.com/2024/08/30/lis…
1⃣Exhibit A of someone who does NOT belong on such a list: Felice Gorordo. Yes, Gorordo did work in the Bush administration. But in 2011, Barack Obama appointed him as a White House Fellow. Then, in 2018, he joined the Biden Cancer Initiative. He may be a fine guy, but he's not evidence of a GOP groundswell for Harris.
2⃣I'd like to thank Daniel Connor for his service as a presidential helicopter pilot, naval attache, and special advisor to the Marine Corps. But a man who flew Marine One for Bush and then kept flying it for Barack Obama does not belong on this list—his important service to the country transcends politics, so he doesn't represent a GOP groundswell for Harris.
👖🔥PANTS ON FIRE: Democrats told 5 massive lies at the #DNC, and they repeated them over and over. Here's my article and thread breaking them down 1/7 dailysignal.com/2024/08/22/5-m…
1⃣Trump supports a "nationwide abortion ban."
FACT CHECK: False. Trump has repeatedly stated that he would leave abortion up to the states.
🚨GASLIGHTING: The Southern Poverty Law Center, which pushes financial firms to blacklist conservative and Christian nonprofits, claims that @ADFLegal's warnings about debanking are a conspiracy theory. But it gets worse... dailysignal.com/2024/08/20/gro…
SPLC blatantly lied, saying that ADF itself "characterizes" debanking as an "anti-white and anti-Christian conspiracy." This echoes SPLC's previous accusation that ADF's efforts at viewpoint diversity are somehow rooted in "white supremacy." dailysignal.com/2024/08/12/now…
ADF's @Jeremy_Tedesco called SPLC's claims "outright and disgusting lies." He noted that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have also raised concerns about debanking. The SPLC declined to give any evidence that ADF characterized debanking as an "anti-white conspiracy."🤔
