Don't you have some medals to throw over the White House fence or something?

[brownsfan]

Kerry is a horrible human being. I wish for him to get exactly what he deserves.

[rktman]

I thought he quit the climate czar post so why is he still talking...........

[blackdog]

Heinzesite.

[blackdog]

Sorry. Heinzesight.

The stakes are high for the globalists' warmageddon cult.

No matter what anybody says about the climate nor how often they say it, anybody who loves history knows that the Modern Warm Period is just the same ol' same ol' we've seen before.

Frankly, I'm glad we're no longer living in the horrible Little Ice Age that was going on when this country was founded. Remember Washington's troops freezing to death? Remember the Pilgrims starving? 40-60% of Europe dying from the Black Plague? Deaths by disease here in North America, and Africa, and Asia? Why in the world would anybody hate on life in the warm periods (less deaths by plague, higher crop yields, and more predictable rain patterns)? That ain't science! Only a cult can teach you to hate the Modern Warm Period!

I thought Florida was suppose to be underwater by now... didn’t Kerry say that years ago?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

This is all we'll here from now until November 2024. EVERYTHING will be worse for you if you don't vote Democrat.

It is sunny in my part of Florida today.

It was almost entirely cloudy and chilly/cold for about 50 days. Solar panels produced a few percent of their nameplate capacity. The wind was for about 10% of that time strong.

It is now clear that we have to run with natural gas or switch to nuclear.

If the world switches to nuclear, every human being and all mammals on the planet will be endangered. If we stay with natural gas, Obama might have ocean water in two of his houses. I say run with cheaper and safer natural gas.

[BenLurkin]

The ‘Rats have said this in every election in recent memory.

It really does appear that the memory span of the Democrat voter is less than four years.

[Bob434]

What exzcflg are the stakes ,Kerry? Put it o. The line- tell us whT is going to happen

So far your side has been wrong about everything- not that you will ever admit it! You all just make up lies to support your nonsense argument that man is causing climate change!

Be a man Kerry and state what is going to happen and how soon! And when you asinine predictions don’t come true AGAIN we can dismiss you as the charlatan that you are!

[Brian Griffin]

CO2 emitted by jets can linger in the atmosphere for centuries.

The CO2 emitted by a car might mainly be plant food for a few days.

[Brian Griffin]

Water vapor is the main greenhouse gas.

Water vapor pretty much drowns out any effect of CO2 except for in some very dry places.

Ozone is a greenhouse gas. The Montreal Protocol reduced the amount and types of freon that destroy ozone. When ozone destruction was reduced by the Montreal Protocol, the atmosphere retained more ozone and planet warmed a little bit in the 1990s.

What is the starting salary for a Climate Envoy?

[yldstrk]

John Kerry can you just go away? No one likes you.

[butlerweave]

The Climate(all 17 of them) are natural and built in plus Kerry is a complete moron

[VideoDoctor]

Well look!... It's Kerry "blowing to the galleries" AGAIN.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Trump has also pledged to step up fossil fuel development if he wins a second term and has falsely claimed climate change is a “hoax.”

Gotta love that neutral reporting. Climate Change is real!!! No questioning it.

Claim: John Kerry's Vietnam War service medals (a Bronze Star, a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts) were earned under "fishy" circumstances.

This was written by a retired admiral and Annapolis graduate. The item offers no direct testimony about Kerry, but it does provide informed background useful in assessing what Kerry seems to have claimed for himself. It confirms information I have received from other sources.

Our media should be demanding that Senator Kerry open his service records in the same way they demanded that of President Bush regarding his NG service.

I was in the Delta shortly after he [Kerry] left. I know that area well. I know the operations he was involved in well. I know the tactics and the doctrine used. I know the equipment. Although I was attached to CTF-116 (PBRs) I spent a fair amount of time with CTF-115 (swift boats), Kerry's command.

Here are my problems and suspicions:

(1) Kerry was in-country less than four months and collected, a Bronze Star, a Silver Star and three purple hearts. I never heard of anybody with any outfit I worked with (including SEAL One, the Sea Wolves, Riverines and the River Patrol Force) collecting that much hardware so fast, and for such pedestrian actions. The Swifts did a commendable job. But that duty wasn't the worst you could draw. They operated only along the coast and in the major rivers (Bassac and Mekong). The rough stuff in the hot areas was mainly handled by the smaller, faster PBRs.

(2) Three Purple Hearts, but no limp. All injuries so minor that no time lost from duty. Amazing luck. Or he was putting himself in for medals every time he bumped his head on the wheel house hatch? Combat on the boats was almost always at close range. You didn't have minor wounds. At least not often. Not three times in a row. Then he used the three purple hearts to request a trip home eight months before the end of his tour. Fishy.

(3) The details of the event for which he was given the Silver Star make no sense at all. Supposedly, a B-40 was fired at the boat and missed. Charlie jumps up with the launcher in his hand, the bow gunner knocks him down with the twin .50, Kerry beaches the boat, jumps off, shoots Charlie, and retreives the launcher. If true, he did everything wrong.

(a) Standard procedure when you took rocket fire was to put your stern to the action and go balls to the wall. A B-40 has the ballistic integrity of a frisbie after about 25 yards, so you put 50 yards or so between you and the beach and begin raking it with your .50's.

(b) Did you ever see anybody get knocked down with a .50 caliber round and get up? The guy was dead or dying. The rocket launcher was empty. There was no reason to go after him (except if you knew he was no danger to you just flopping around in the dust during his last few seconds on earth, and you wanted some derring do in your after-action report). And we didn't shoot wounded people. We had rules against that, too.

(c) Kerry got off the boat. This was a major breach of standing procedures. Nobody on a boat crew ever got off a boat in a hot area. EVER! The reason was simple. If you had somebody on the beach your boat was defenseless. It coudn't run and it couldn't return fire. It was stupid and it put his crew in danger. He should have been relieved and reprimanded. I never heard of any boat crewman ever leaving a boat during or after a firefight.

Something is fishy.

Here we have a JFK wannabe (the guy Halsey wanted to court martial for carelessly losing his boat and getting a couple people killed by running across the bow of a Jap destroyer) who is hardly in Vietnam long enough to get good tan, collects medals faster than Audie Murphy in a job where lots of medals weren't common, gets sent home eight months early, requests separation from active duty a few months after that so he can run for Congress, finds out war heros don't sell well in Massachusetts in 1970 so reinvents himself as Jane Fonda, throws his ribbons in the dirt with the cameras running to jump start his political career, gets Stillborn Pell to invite him to address Congress and Bobby Kennedy's speechwriter to do the heavy lifting, winds up in the Senate himself a few years later, votes against every major defense bill, says the CIA is irrelevant after the Wall came down, votes against the Gulf War, a big mistake since that turned out well, decides not to make the same mistake twice so votes for invading Iraq, but oops, that didn't turn out so well so he now says he really didn't mean for Bush to go to war when he voted to allow him to go to war.

I'm real glad you or I never had this guy covering our flanks in Vietnam. I sure don't want him as Commander in Chief. I hope that somebody from CTF-115 shows up with some facts challenging Kerry's Vietnam record. I know in my gut it's wildy inflated. And fishy.
