IMPORTANT! Wake up America! What is all this "the models say" crap. Tucker Carlson nails it...video
*we're basing our entire existence on computer models?* Are you kidding me? I'm no mathematical genius. As a matter of fact my higher math skills are pretty nonexistent. But what God *has* gifted me with is a healthy dose of common sense. And my spidey sense has been on full alert for many weeks now. Taking models cooked up by a bunch of computer nerds and using them to make important decisions is madness. How in hell can you put together a model when you don't have even a tiny bit of the information. And much of the info you *do* have is wrong or a lie. Wake up America!
