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.

SPLC puts mainstream conservative & Christian groups on the "hate map" alongside Klan chapters, claiming it's the "infrastructure upholding white supremacy."
My book, "Making Hate Pay" explains how SPLC uses this to demonize opponents & raise 💰
In 2010, the SPLC added conservative Christian groups to the "hate map," branding them "anti-LGBT hate groups." At the time, SPLC intentionally did not put @FocusFamily on the hate map.
In 2012, an LGBT activist targeted @FRCdc for a mass shooting, using the map.
What if I told you a top advisor for Adam Schiff during Russiagate and the first Trump impeachment "burrowed in" to the federal bureaucracy and apparently is still there?😲
If anyone seems likely to oppose the Trump admin from within, it's him.
According to his verified LinkedIn profile, he serves as an associate administrator for security and hazardous materials safety at the FAA.
President Biden brought him in as a political appointee, but he switched to a "career" job in September.

So what if some FAA safety staffer once worked for Schiff? Why should I care?
It's called "burrowing in." Presidents appoint 3K people for "political" positions, but most of the 2.3M federal workers are in non-political "career" roles.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which trades on its history bankrupting the KKK to smear conservatives as secret supporters of "white supremacy," has put the largest conservative youth org—@TPUSA—on the "hate map" with Klan chapters.
Every year, the SPLC puts out a new version of the "hate map," partly to scare donors into ponying up cash and partly to "cancel" its opponents—cutting them off from polite society.
This year, the "hate map" includes Turning Point USA.
🧵2/15
The SPLC accuses Turning Point and its founder, @charliekirk11, of propping up "white Christian supremacy."
Now, if Charlie Kirk were racist & theocratic, would Turning Point have a presence on more than 3K campuses?🤔
The EEOC under Biden tried to rewrite federal law to force gender ideology on state and local governments—and on every company that hires at least 15 people.
@KenPaxtonTX and @Heritage sued.
This week, a judge threw out the EEOC guidance.

Bear with me: the case is complicated but as I lay it out, you'll see just how outrageous it is.
Also, please bookmark the first post in this 🧵, so you can go back to it. I'll walk you through how Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk just eviscerated the Left's false narrative.
Colorado LGBTQ groups pushed for HB25-1312, a bill that would define "misgendering" and "deadnaming" as "coercive control" and mandate custody courts consider them.
Democrats excluded parental rights groups from discussion, comparing them to the KKK.
🧵2/10
The bill passed the Colorado House, 36 in favor, 20 against, and 9 absent in a largely party-line vote.
The Colorado House has 43 Dems and 22 Republicans. The Colorado Senate has 23 Dems and 12 Republicans.
