#HMBlog: 'Chemtrail' bill advances through Florida Senate. Why do so many 'Conspiracy Theories' end up being true?
Hold on a second, one of the oldest “conspiracy theories” I can remember in my life was that some sort of shadowy organization, probably Government was flying planes into the atmosphere and releasing chemicals to…well..I don’t know exactly know what. Change the weather, I guess. I never really got into that theory because it seemed easily explained by the reality of Contrails, the condensation produced from jet engines and the pressure or something I don’t really know, I’ll ask Grok:
Alright, so yea, it’s a debunked conspiracy theory, we are all in agreement. However, since it’s the Whacky Era that we live in, not so fast. Miami Republican Sen. Ileana Garcia filed bill SB56, the Geoengineering and Weather Modification Activities act. The Senate Appropriations Committee on Agriculture, Environment and General Government reviewed the bill (SB 56) before approving it in a 10-2 bipartisan vote. The measure now advances to the Senate Rules Committee. Sen. Ileana Garcia, introduced the bill, aiming to halt human-induced weather modifications in Florida. The state presently permits cloud seeding and other forms of “artificial weather interference” by licensed operators. Wait, what? So there is at least some truth to people flying planes into the sky and squirting juice up there to mess with the weather? OK, so, that means it’s not a conspiracy theory, stop calling it that. Obviously contrails exist…but so do chemtrails as it turns out. Both can be true. How often is it a contrail or a chemtrail that you see in the sky? Probably overwhelmingly it’s condensation from the jet engine and the pressure or something, I don't know. (go check out the Grok explanation above, TLDR for me).
It seems like more and more, these Conspiracy Theories that people are chastised for or worse, silenced for, end up having at least a shade of truth (like the chemtrails). Many times these kookie theories end up being outright factual- Covid’s Lab Leak Origins is the favored theory by the CIA, for example.
Boy, remember what happened if you said that 5 years ago? You were called a racist at best and thrown offline at worst. Apoorva Mandavilli of The New York Times referred to the lab leak theory as having "racist roots". In May 2021, she tweeted, "Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. The New York Times, four years later, released an Opinion piece letting the general public know that they were “misled” by Scientists over the origins of Covid-19. Oh…well..thanks, I guess? The problem was, at the time, people in the out-group from reporters at the New York Times were the one’s speaking about this ‘Lab Leak’. Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican being the one that comes to my mind first and foremost. There’s a visceral reaction from our Media to automatically take the opposite point of view from the opposition. Even if they’re right. Also, it’s not their fault for being misled, they didn’t like unwashed masses who were saying it, you see:
Another ‘conspiracy theory’ 12 weeks ago was the mental decline of Joe Biden. Media spent a lot of time debunking anyone who was spreading this conspiracy.
Well, guess who has out a new book (already) about the coverup of Joe Biden’s mental decline. You guessed it:
Amazing. I can only imagine what ‘Conspiracy Theory’ will be true tomorrow.
#HMBlog: Well, "Champa Bay" is officially Cringe.
Screencap from @whitehouse Twitter
The Shark was jumped today, “Champa Bay” is officially CRINGE. The official White House Twitter account put the nail in the coffin with a tweet this afternoon, subtweeting President Biden’s congratulations to the team for helping America take down Canadastan in the Stanley Cup final.
It was already teetering on cringe last night, when our Pulitzer winning newspaper, the Tampa Bay Times changed their Twitter name to “Champa Bay Times”
Yea, I dunno, maybe I’m a stick in the mud but I hate puns as it is and when you see nerds takeover a thing and start using it, it’s always over. Just ask #BlackTwitter and as always, Go Bolts.
#HMBlog - C'MON MAN! Biden, Trudeau bet on NHL Stanley Cup finals

WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden has accepted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's offer they bet on the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup finals between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Montreal Canadiens.
In a Twitter post on Monday night, Trudeau challenged Biden. “Two of the best teams in the NHL are facing off right now. How about a friendly wager, @POTUS?” using Biden’s Twitter handle.
“You’re on pal. #GoBolts,” Biden responded.
The exchange of tweets did not say what the two leaders were wagering, but hopefully it’s a wall built on the border to shield us from the failed terror-state known as “Canada”.
