Argus' Rogue Report

  Argus Hamilton "• The Weather Channel reported that the massive Arctic storm that pummeled the United States left huge sections of America frozen in thick snow and ice Monday. The blizzard knocked the nation flat onto its heels. I will say that Greenland deploying their weather on us was an unexpected first strike.

• The Museum of Television in Beverly Hills hosted a special exhibit Monday which saluted the 100th anniversary of the invention of television by engineer John Baird in London on January 26th, 1925. What a monumental day in human cultural development it was. Anyway, I'm off to watch COPS. 

• President Trump ripped the choice of Puerto Rican hip-hop star Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime show. Trump could sue him for trademark infringement. Bad Bunny bills himself as the King of Latin Trap and, in the past year alone, NO king has trapped more Latins than Donald J. Trump. 

• Governor Tim Walz caused a furor Monday comparing the ICE agents in Minneapolis to Nazi troopers who captured Anne Frank. I dreamed that night that Walz played Anne Frank in the play. Walz was so bad in the role that when the Germans arrived, the audience all shouted, She's in the Attic! 

• Minnesota protests boiled over Sunday after an a 2nd protestor in 2 weeks was shot and killed while interfering with an ICE arrest of an illegal alien criminal. The protestors now allege the ICE agents in Minneapolis are inexperienced. I don't know about that, their aim has been pretty Good so far. 

• ICE Director Tom Homan was sent to Minneapolis Monday to try to defuse the media-driven chaos. Former CNN host Don Lemon led an angry protest raid on a church service, but the FBI refuses to file charges against him. Sending this guy into a men's prison would only spice up his love life. 

• Governor Tim Walz faced a widening federal fraud probe in Minnesota Monday amid the anti-ICE protests. IRS agents uncovered 400 fraudulent Somali autism centers in one building. The autism centers distribute Tylenol to Somali welfare recipients in hopes of producing the next Elon Musk. 

• NASA's Artemis 2 spacecraft and its crew will take off next week and fly around the moon for practice. It's ahead of the Artemis 3 moon landing in 2027. It recalls for Baby Boomers the thrilling July 1969 Apollo 11's landing on the moon, where Neil Armstrong was greeted by Mormon missionaries."

" 'Bryan, you are running outside and this psycho killer is on the loose,” she remembered telling him, per The New York Times. “Be careful.” He reportedly thanked her for the check-in and promised to stay safe."

The accused, his mother and sister, Amanda

. . . "[Melissa] has worked in mental health counseling  "Mel had pursued a career in mental health counseling and was training for a job as a mental health therapist in New Jersey. But she told The New York Times that after her new employer became overwhelmed with inquiries, she agreed to leave the position before it formally began.

"In addition to losing out on a job, Mel has also had people attempt to make money from the horrific crime off of her name. She cited a book about the case that appeared on Amazon with the author listed as "Melissa J. Kohberger.” 

“It’s confusing,” she said. “It’s painful. It’s like being victimized but not really being a victim.”

Bryan Kohberger Took Plea Deal Days After Learning His Sister Amanda Was on Prosecution Witness List

Bryan Kohberger's sisters Melissa & Amanda lose their jobs: Should they start lawsuits or YouTube?  Mostly a sales pitch.

Bryan Kohberger's sister starred in horror film  

"Could life be imitating art?

The sister of accused Idaho college killer Bryan Kohberger starred in a gory low-budget slasher movie where characters are brutally stabbed, slashed and hacked to death with knives and hatchets."

"Amanda Kohberger appeared as “Lori” in the 2011 flick “Two Days Back” about a group of young students who go hiking in the remote woods and meet their grisly end at the hands of a maniacal killer who has won their trust.

"It bears eerie similarities to the knife attacks in remote Moscow, Idaho, that left four young college friends stabbed to death in their beds, crimes of which Bryan now stands accused.".. 

Who are [Bryan Kohberger's sisters, and what do they do] for a living?   "Amanda lost her job at Pleasant Valley School District due to public and media pressure, not misconduct. On the other hand, Bryan Kohberger's sister, Melissa, also lost her mental health therapist position shortly after, though details about her employer were not made public. A source revealed: I’m told the family is in very, very bad shape financially right now, especially because the sisters are now unemployed." . . . Read more...

‘Al Gore is reduced to heckling speakers at a WEF meeting!’

 

Too much of this so "they" modified it to "climate change"

Climate Depot   . . . "Morano: “This is a bad look for the climate movement. We have never seen this in the past 20-plus years — a lower point of the climate movement than it is currently.  The entire climate agenda, within one year of Donald Trump getting to work,  has now seen 250 actions against it. Both us and globally. The climate change campaign has just been decimated. 

And I think Al Gore is the best metaphor for this. Gore, at the World Economic Forum, was reduced to heckling speakers. That’s about the simplest way of putting it.

And by the way, Al Gore went to COP 30 in Brazil. I was at that as well. He ended up spending his time attacking Bill Gates because Gates is now saying climate isn’t a catastrophe. Gore said Bill Gates was acting ‘silly.’ So you got Al Gore, attacking Bill Gates, and Al Gore now heckling the World Economic Forum. This is a bad look for the climate movement.” . . .

Notice Anything Missing From Those Winter Storm Stories? – Issues & Insights  

As always, it’s both. Depending on whatever bad weather is happening at the moment. If it’s unusually cold, it’s because of climate change. Unusually sunny or cloudy? Climate change. Every big hurricane is now blamed on climate change, but so are mild hurricane seasons. Wildfires? Climate change. Mudslides? Climate change. High humidity? Climate change. Dry air? You got it."

 . . . "In this space a few years ago, we noted that climate “experts” were blaming the rise of water levels in the Great Lakes on climate change, even though in previous years they were predicting that global warming would most definitely cause lake levels to recede.

"What changed? Nothing, other than the water levels of the Great Lakes at the time these “experts” were making their claims. (See: “Great Lakes Reveal a Fatal Flaw in Climate Change ‘Science’.”)

"Whatever this is, it ain’t science. It’s more like a pagan religion, where everything bad that happens is because we’ve upset the climate gods. And if you don’t agree, you’re a heretic."

 

Venezuelans Celebrate The Demise Of Collectivism While New Yorkers Embrace Its ‘Warmth’

  Issues & Insights   

"But in this case, the catastrophic suffering is being almost completely ignored. Why? Because it’s happening in Venezuela — a socialist state that the left has for years championed and now refuses to admit has been a monumental failure."

"You have to marvel at the sequence of events we just experienced. On Jan. 1, a socialist was sworn in as mayor of New York, promising the “warmth of collectivism.” On Jan. 3, President Donald Trump announced that he’d forcibly removed Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela, ending the country’s 23-year embrace of socialism.

"We will leave it to the pundits, the lawyers, politicians, and various other “experts” to debate the merits of Trump’s action.

"But what we can’t let happen is for the left and the mainstream media to ignore or downplay just how tragic Venezuela’s embrace of collectivism has been.

"So, we thought we’d do our readers a service and republish an editorial we wrote more than six years ago, in which we detailed the cold, hard truths about socialism. The situation in Venezuela had only deteriorated further in the years after this editorial ran."

2019: Venezuela: A Humanitarian Crisis The Left Couldn’t Care Less About   

 "Try to imagine this scenario. A once-wealthy country spirals downward over the course of several years into a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. Starvation and violence are rampant. The economy has collapsed. Millions have already fled. And all the while, an autocratic ruler acts with complete indifference, when he’s not trying to crush dissent and blame other countries for the misery he’s inflicting on his own. 

"Under normal circumstances, there would be regular protests in Washington. Hollywood actors would be busy creating tear-jerker videos and making emotional award ceremony speeches. Musicians would be putting on global benefit concerts. The corruption, desperation and daily human misery would be above the fold in newspapers and leading the nightly news. It would be on everyone’s mind. 

?But in this case, the catastrophic suffering is being almost completely ignored. Why? Because it’s happening in Venezuela  [not California?]— a socialist state that the left has for years championed and now refuses to admit has been a monumental failure." . . .
