Tax Mars!

12/6/24 Earth.com:

"Geological evidence spanning over 65 million years suggests that deep-sea currents on Earth undergo recurring cycles of strength every 2.4 million years.

These cycles, referred to as “astronomical grand cycles,” appear linked to gravitational interactions between Earth and Mars.

Climate and Earth’s ocean currents

Deep-sea currents, which alternate between stronger and weaker phases, significantly impact sediment accumulation on the ocean floor.

During periods of stronger currents, often called “giant whirlpools” or eddies, these powerful movements reach the abyssal depths and erode accumulated sediment there.

The findings of a new study now shed light on how these cycles align with Earth-Mars gravitational interactions."

The claim is that this affects our temperatures on a 2.4 million year cycle.

Of course,  the article insists this does nothing to raise questions about the dogma of anthropogenic global warming  

Gun Banner Logic Is No Better When Translated From Hebrew

12/7/24 Jerusalem Post article about the dramatic expansion in issuance of gun licenses post-10/7.  As you might expect Israeli gun banners have all the same objections to self-defense as American gun-banners:

"Women's organizations are also raising alarms about the danger of flooding the streets with firearms. Since the beginning of the year, 34 women have been murdered, two more than last year. It should be noted that none of these women were killed by a weapon provided under the reform, but according to Rebecca Neumann, the Advancement Division Director at the Women's International Zionist Organization (WIZO), this is a disingenuous claim.

"The presence of a gun in the house is the issue. It changes the balance of power. A gun doesn’t need to threaten. The threat is always there, and it can be used at any moment. The experience of women and children, when there’s a person in the house with a gun and a short fuse, is living under constant threat," she accuses. "You don’t need to do anything or say anything. It’s there. A physical and tangible threat. It’s a game-changer. You can’t ignore that. It’s simply a complete lack of understanding of the dynamics within homes or a lack of care."" [Emphasis added]

Amazing.  None of these domestic murders was with newly licensed guns but it is going to happen, rather like shall-issue" licenses would make the streets like Dodge City.
