Anybody who goes to a desert gathering where thousands of people are in attendance, in temperatures in excess of 100 degrees, and walk around an enclosed structure with the sun beating down on the marble flooring, the black stone, and you, deserves what they get.

“Climate emergency?”
It’s never been hot in the desert before?
We need to start calling their twin imaginary crises “the climate change superstition” and “the global warming superstition.”

“It gets hot in the middle of a desert in the middle of summer. Who knew?”
A former classmate of mine worked for ARAMCO for many years. He said that temperatures of over 130 degrees Fahrenheit were not unusual in the Saudi desert.

Let me guess, you think I posted this because I like Muslims.
So to protest that you don’t you write ‘I don’t give a damn’.
