If not for a miracle with the election of Donald Trump, all the Western Democracies would be in the same sorry boat. All of their leaders but Trump, look at the world the same way. That’s because all of their leaders but Trump, are delusional Leftists.
Deluded politicians make very poor leaders. As we can see.
Deluded politicians require deluded voters.
Have the Western Democracies reached the point that they are too deluded to have a Democracy? The United States appears to be about equally divided between delusional Leftists and common-sense Conservatives at the moment. The other Western Democracies appear to be about 75 percent delusional Leftists and 25 percent Common-sense Conservatives.
It looks like common sense is losing in the Western Democracies.
Trump might pull the U.S. out of this Road to a One-Party System, but the other Democracies are standing at the brink.
I still say the most dangerous organization in the world is the Leftwing Propaganda Media who lie and distort reality so much that people cannot figure out who is good for them and who is bad for them. For example, 75 million people voted for the totally unqualified Kamala Harris, in the last presidential election. They were fooled into thinking Kamala was a good choice. Who fooled them? We all know the answer: The Lying Leftwing Media.
And the Leftwing propaganda is even worse in the other Western Democracies.
We are being lied into slavery.
Our society may have a critical shortage of Critical Thinkers.
We’ll see how the votes go in upcoming elections.
People can’t govern themselves properly if all they get are lies and distortions of reality, and that is all they get from the Leftwing Media.
The Leftwing Media are the underminers of Democracy.
Interesting, opposing the dictatorship attempts of the left, are redefined as dictatorship?
Fascinating, opposing the lefts attempts to rig elections, is now attempting to destroy Democracy.
Socialists really do rely on redefining words to keep their myrmidons in line.
You’ll noticed that there have been no public executions of those speaking out against “the dictator”. Worst dictator ever. Maybe you should find some new talking points.
“I still say the most dangerous organization in the world is the Leftwing Propaganda Media”
Not disagreeing with the broader concept but “organization … is … Leftwing … Media” implies that many voices are one voice. People who read WUWT every day seem to agree on a lot of principles, but if you read carefully you see they also disagree on a few principles. I assume people who work for what I consider The Leftwing Media have a lot of principles they agree on (or they’d do something else), but if you go out to lunch with a group of them there will be subjects you just can’t mention without starting a fight.
eg:
They seemed all okay with lies about where a laptop computer came from.
They seemed not so unified about how to deal with factory slave labor in China.
Be careful what you wish for. Trump doesn’t seem to take any advice from anyone, except maybe Lutnick on tariffs, and one man’s intellect making national level decisions has a long history of unexpected and unappealing outcomes, usually involving many young men marching to glory.
And it is difficult to show that representative democracies have done much better, since their failures have generally been blamed on the leader…
Downvotes can start now….
Every political party is a tool of the left. Including the party of Trump, the G.O.P. History is full of examples of leaders who became the pinnacle of their party and were seen as saviours until the dust settled and the truth became clear. Just saying.
A significant percentage of votes for Kamella were votes against Trumps overgrown ego and the fact that he has pissed off every allie we ever had. I love most of what he is doing but hate the way he does it.
“We are governed by a confederacy of dunces.” Who were elected by a nation of dunces. This shows the stupidity of the party political system which smooths everything into mediocrity. Excellence has no chance of rising to the top.

I had never heard of Rees-Mogg before this. My first reaction was that this was either some comedian with typical understated British humor, or an AI. But he’s got a lot of videos and Wikipedia says he’s a real politician.
I watched one other video; what if there had been no War of Independence? Interesting, and he seems to have done his homework.
Odd duck. I’d probably vote for him just to liven up debates.
Rees-Mogg is a highly successful financier, albeit enjoying a privileged upbringing, who was jovially referred to as ‘The MP for the 17th century’ when first elected to Parliament.
He is a catholic who lives his life in a way compatible with his faith.
Whether you agree with his views or not, it is hard not be impressed with his integrity.
Oof. Don’t click that link without some kind of popup blocker.

Jackob Rees-Mogg is a throwback character. He represents the very best of traditional Conservative politicians and has made a point of remaining true to his core views and beliefs.
His intellect is clearly above most peoples and so far ahead of any Labour politician, the only thing they can do is attack him and his family. By attack, I do mean that literally, as happened last year at his home, by a group of socialist left wing idiots.
Labour are unable to argue with him or challenge his logic. His understanding of economics and government’s role in society is too precise and true for them to argue against. He is a wealthy individual, wealth created from his own business endeavours. He also has very traditional family views, something else the socialist hate about him.
He is one of us who sincerely believes there are two genders, male and female. He is also mindful and recognises there will be individuals who are not clear about their gender and thus should be helped where that is needed.
The greatest uplift in the UKs fortunes would be realised if Jackob headed up a government that ensured the madness of Miliband was reversed and consigned to history. I only hope we are still a functioning economy come 2029, when the next election for a new government comes around.
The present band of incompetents will be thrown out but the damage they are doing could be with us for a while.
If you honestly believe that men can get pregnant, and women have penises, then you are truly a moron.

He is 100% spot-on. However the politics of “climate change” go way beyond those of the UK, via the IPCC and the UNFCCC. Ultimately, what the Climate Cabal wants is world government controlling our lives, by the control of energy. Now it is true that climate ideology serves many masters, not least of which is the Industrial Climate Complex, which benefits those who subscribe to Climate Ideology financially and professionally. The Church of Climate benefits its adherents by giving them a ready-made belief system. And so it goes.

Earth is cooler with the atmosphere/water vapor/30% albedo not warmer. Near Earth outer space is 394 K, 121 C, 250 F. 288 K w – 255 K w/o = 33 C cooler -18 C Earth is just flat wrong. Dividing 1,368 by 4 to average 342 over Spherical ToA is wrong.
Ubiquitous GHE heat balance graphics don’t balance and violate LoT. Refer to TFK_bams09.
Solar balance 1: 160 in = 17 + 80 + 63 out. Balance complete.
Calculated balance 2: 396 S-B BB at 16 C / 333 “back” radiation cold to warm w/o work violates Lot 2. 63 LWIR net duplicates balance 1 violating GAAP.
Kinetic heat transfer processes of contiguous atmospheric molecules render surface BB impossible. By definition all energy entering and leaving a BB must do so by radiation. Entering: 30% albedo = not BB. OLR: 17sensible & 80 latent = not BB. TFK_bams09: 97 out of 160 leave by kinetic processes, 63 by LWIR = not BB.

Also consider that a dryer that takes longer means that the clothes are spending much more time being tumbled about, and wear out much after. There’s a carbon cost to that.

Great photo-lead. Reminiscent of David Letterman hucking stuff off the roof of a building circa 1990.
If the government is actually passing laws about how you are to dry your clothes…they are far past their mandate of guarding your community from being plundered by marauders…which is why we accept their taxation to start with.
Our previous dryer was a supposedly-energy efficient type that proved so effective that (a) it couldn’t handle as large a load as the earlier one and (b) we found it didn’t dry the clothes any faster either. So when we replaced it, we went back to a traditional tumble-dry type which had a cheaper price tag, and did the job just as fast and efficiently as the supposedly more environmentally friendly one. In fact, when I tried to get the energy-efficient one fixed earlier, the repairman told me that the parts and labor would equal the price of a new tumble-dry type anyway so I should go ahead and buy one instead, particularly since he had found the energy-efficient ones to be overrated from the outset.

I would put more faith in Trump than any of our other recent leaders with the exception of Reagan. Both of them had/have a clear vision of reality.
Nobody is perfect, and Trump is not perfect but he clearly sees the Big Picture when most Western leaders do not. He sees the dangers coming our way.

Replace “genders” with “sexes.”
Gender is a language tool repurposed for sociological studies and is currently a belief system.
…
And another redefinition by the socialists.

The right opposes them.
