Evening @nickshirleyy As well as can be my "fellow human being"? Interesting post, it caught my attention but not necessarily for the same reasons that you wrote it. When I saw the phrase "this isn't a left vs right issue" and the word nature my thoughts went to our extremely serious earth (our home) problems, problems that we need to address by taking a lets meet in the middle and work together as a "global community" approach. Your interests in the field of investigative journalism, have you even considered the possibility of asking Donald Trump for an interview re his stance on our extremely serious climate change problems? I know you’ve met him on a number of occasions so you already have an established repport with him, depending on how you approach him about the matter you may have a reasonable chance of convincing him to participate in such an interview. To obtain such an interview with Donald Trump, it could potentially be a defining moments sort of interview in the bigger scheme of things re the scenario we're heading towards re climate change. Regards, Dion Harper

This isn’t a left vs right issue. Fraud is fraud. Have you noticed the MSM and the left are trying to make it political and a racial issue? People’s true nature is showing, I hope you all are learing something from this

When I saw the word earth it took my thoughts to @realDonaldTrump's stance re our extremely serious #climatechange problems, something to be very concerned about to ask me as I dwell on potential futures for our species beyond the lot of us. Now that my thoughts are on our earth (our home) problems I might look around to see if I can figure out how many members of the Republican political party are in favour of addressing our climate change problems, while I'm looking around I might also try to figure out what Matt's talking about re his claims about Congress.

All right, I’m just gonna come out and say it… Some of the dumbest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth are currently representing us in Congress. How on earth did this happen?

I's just skirting around this side of things in another post; there was a time when I thought maybe enough political pressure was being put on Vladimir Putin to the degree that he might end the war that he started with Ukraine, once Donald Trump's second term in office started it quickly became apparent that it wasn't gonna pan out that way. The way Donald Trump and the Trump administration in general has been going about things re its approach to our worldly concerns including climate change, backwards steps back ourselves into a corner we may be unable to negotiate our way out of sort of stuff to ask me!

This tragedy is all caused by Trump's support for Russia

There was a time when I thought maybe enough political pressure was being put on Russia to the degree that Vladimir Putin might end the war with Ukraine that he started under the guise of a special military operation, once Donald Trump started his second term in office I put those thoughts to the side. This timeline we live in, its a real backwards steps we've dropped the ball bigger pictures wise sort of timeline to ask me as I dwell on our worldly concerns which very much include our very serious climate change problems.

Russia openly announces that it intends to render Kyiv uninhabitable within a month through a series of attacks. Why? Because Ukraine allegedly attacked a Russian vocational school and killed students. However: To this day, there is no verified evidence of this attack on students. Furthermore: According to data verified by the UN and UNICEF (as of November 2025), 1,611 Ukrainian schools have been damaged or destroyed by Russia (verified cases only). The actual figure is significantly higher—approximately 4,500 attacks on schools. That is the Russian mindset. We call it an excuse for further genocide.

I'm not really surprised re this outcome, it must've upset Marco and Donald etc big time when the initial sanctions were overturned as I dwell on the Trump administration's relationship with the Israeli government. I think I'll do some more reading re this topic, based on many things really it sounds like the whole idea of free speech is going the way of the dodo bird when it comes to the America First Amendment side of things.

BREAKING: Trump administration is reinstating sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs, the world's leading investigator of Israeli apartheid & genocide in Palestine. A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court just issued an administrative stay, allowing the Justice Department to restart punishing Albanese while the courts deliberate. Judge Richard Leon had correctly blocked the sanctions, recognizing that Albanese's First Amendment rights are protected because she owns property in the U.S. and her daughter is an American citizen. But the Justice Department is arguing that foreign nationals abroad have no constitutional rights—a dangerous precedent that would gut free speech protections globally. The Court of Appeals has scheduled key filings for May 28 and June 2. This isn't just about Francesca. It's about whether America will uphold free speech or become complicit in Israel's crimes through censorship and intimidation.

I's reading a few articles about @KenPaxtonTX's stance on climate change, I'm thinking there'll be costs involved for Texas/Texans if he secures a position of power in Texas and I ain't talking about money. I'm sure the fossil fuel industry will do well out of it in the short-term but that's not a long-term deal sort of scenario. Based on another article I read I suspect the big players in the AI Data Center side of things would also be hoping that Ken does well in these Texas elections. #climatechange #FossilFuelIndustry #ClimatePolicies #AIDataCenter #DataCenter #Leadership Accountability Duty of Care Future Generations Environmental Water Power Policies

Who is voting in Texas tomorrow? We need BIG, beautiful turnout.

I dwell on the days when I took a more proactive approach re my polite online activities re our very serious climate change problems, in many ways I miss the pace of it all. As sure as I created this post there was a time when I's politely approaching the Donald Trump's, Benjamin Netanyahu's, and Vladimir Putin's "etc of the world re our climate change problems on a fairly regular basis. Left to me in due course I will once again take a more proactive approach re my polite online activities re climate change! Long story, I'm waiting for a set in concrete sort of outcome re a specific scenario to play out before I once again take a more proactive approach re my polite online activities re climate change. Once that scenario plays out I'll discuss the specifics of it all and then move on re the more proactive approach re why I'm online side of things! That I'm still online re my polite online activities re climate change, to truly know the history of it all re the road travelled its a "very long odds sort of outcome"! From my perspective I've done alright, I tend to play the long-game when it comes to the important stuff in life. Who do I represent re my polite online activities re climate change, that would be future generations as yet to come. Important stuff from my perspective! It's Definately been an eye opening learning curve sort of journey that goes well beyond the here online side of things, one would be mistaken to think that some very official looking folk haven't knocked on my door out here in the real world due to my polite online activities re climate change! Anyway, I'll keep moving re its a that sort of day for me. Life, I actually live a very quiet life out here in my little world but there's always something that needs to be sorted.

Today, I spoke with the President Herzog of Israel. I reiterated that the appalling treatment of civilians aboard the Gaza-bound flotilla was unacceptable, and that respect for human dignity must be upheld everywhere, at all times. I underlined the imperative of de-escalation in the Middle East, and the importance of a genuine resumption of dialogue among all parties. Progress toward peace and stability in the region must remain the clear, shared objective.

@factpostnews If Elon Musk had taken more care re how the whole DOGE scenario played out funding for something as important as Ebola prevention wouldn't have been cut in the first place was a thought that came to mind re this post.

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)
