Narrative Control vs. Reality
The AMA, or the American Medical Association, is a Chicago-based co-investor with Valeri Jerrit in Chicago real estate. It’s a left-wing organization that became hyper-partisan during the Obama years. And by medical association, I mean political action group. Their signature publication, JAMA, selectively prints articles in support of Marxist narratives and other centralization of power tropes.
In the following case, the AMA supports child genital mutilation and gender reassignment as it creates another victim group and a perpetual market for hormone therapy. What they don’t support is the freedom to disagree. They demand the Department of Justice prosecute thought crimes that conflict with their narrative. So far, the DOJ is siding with the prosecution of wrongthink.
The AMA and other medical associations are calling for physician-assisted euthanasia for the First Amendment; It has been a long time since the AMA represented a majority of the physicians in America and a long time since I stopped subscribing to their Journal:

They say they are censoring speech to save the world from evil conservatism. They say they are trying to save the world from constitutionalism and the primitive values inherited from the Enlightenment. They say that they are trying to save the world from property ownership.
It looks like their will to power is running into the First Amendment. Tech companies are state actors by doing the dirty work of politically charged government: Yup, the very type of state actor at the center of the First Amendment.
This case could be a significant First Amendment issue regarding Big Tech censorship; these actions make the companies “government agents” and hence subject to First Amendment prohibited restrictions of speakers’ rights:

Here is an interesting article about the GOA’s legislative strategy to win back our Second Amendment rights from Gun Owners Of America; I highly recommend the GOA as well as JPFO (Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms Ownership – I’m a charter member):

IMPORTANT! If you buy from Amazon, everything on Amazon is available from smile.amazon at the same price, with 0.5% going to the charity of your choice. I choose the Gun Owner’s Foundation, the hard-core litigation arm of GOA. If you buy from Amazon, do what I do. Over the years, it has added up! Help protect your freedoms at no cost to you!

This is an unexpected group that will never be given any coverage by the MSM or on social media. It is way too far outside the narrative. Check them out:

This article is fascinating because it debunks the widely held assumption that clouds retain heat like some giant greenhouse. The premise is that high temperatures in the 90F range or above promote the formation of thunderstorms. These, in turn, promote global cooling. This article pretty much says that so few places exist on Earth at or above these temperatures because they trigger the global temperature corrective action by thunderstorms.
Just who created this planet? HE must be pretty smart to have included so many automated systems that atheists refuse to recognize. The smarties over at the WEF keep getting blindsided by reality.
The statistical method mentioned in the article is a common curve fitting technique applied when the data distribution is not known ahead of time.
A very convenient truth about the climate change propaganda; how radiative cooling properties of clouds increase very rapidly above 77 F, and how this puts a lid on global and local temperature increases:

And nor for something completely different! If you are interested in digital security, the following two pro websites are a rich resource, especially if you read the comments to the stories that interest you. I have learned a lot. (In fact, an NSA-funded online cybersecurity university offered to hire me to teach a master’s degree course in this subject, so I am competent to judge their value.):

For investors, federalie take as a percentage of the GDP has risen from about 15% in 2003 to 19.6% today, yet deficits, borrowing, and money creation are unsustainable. What could possibly go wrong? The federalies are breaking our economy:

For investors; current inflation expectations in the U.S.:
More for investors; market bottom – are we there yet? BofA’s investment advisors and I think we have a long way to go before we get there. My reasons are based on Austrian economics; we have a massive overload of malinvestments and unsound debts that must be liquidated before our economy can regain its health. We are far from having done that. Their reasons are empirical but macro-plausible, and historical events have happened repeatedly. Here are their securities market bottom signals; you may snort with derision when you look at them. Where are the fundamentals, such as price/earnings ratios? It is all macro-Keynsian signals regarding central bank machinations. The modern reality is that central banks manipulate the essential economic factors – the price of time (interest rates) and the quantity of money. This causes malinvestments, bubbles, unsustainable debts, and busts, so what central banks do matters – a lot;

But things are changing; governments are creating and spending vast amounts of money off the books via loan guarantees, a practice that is snowballing and which bypasses the central banks’ attempts to rein in inflation:

Will the U.S. learn from the economic mistakes made in Britain? Don’t hold your breath, even if we have decent results in the 2022 midterms; who dares to rein in the government spending? (Trump didn’t.):
