Climate Change A Hoax? Signs Point To No. The new normal?
Could This Be The End Of Bibi? Until the stake gets driven through his black heart, I say no. But he is Israel’s Trump. Or Trump is ‘our’ Netanyahu.

He held up well under the cosh. Likely drop 2nd or 3rd week of June.
Tomorrow’s ep is someone we all know very well.
