Climate activists claim we face a global warming emergency that demands we replace dependable, inexpensive fossil fuels with so-called "green†energy, such as wind and solar power. Not only would this starve society of the energy we need to survive. Real-world data demonstrate that there is no climate emergency! It is a manufactured crisis, created by vested interests – activists, scientists and crony capitalists – and adopted without question by opportunistic politicians, regulators and media pundits for their own interests.
In this article, Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris explain that climate fluctuation we are witnessing today is simply the normal climate variability that has occurred throughout Earth and human history. The climate scare is based primarily on the output of computer models that do not work, because they focus predominantly on greenhouse gases, and because we do not yet understand planetary climate well enough to know what mathematical equations to program into the models.
However, there is a climate-related emergency, they conclude. It is the threat to our way of life, imposed on us by climate alarmists, many of whom do not really care about climate change, people or the environment. It’s time for people and governments to fight back.

Democrat presidential candidates and Green New Dealers need to face some hard energy facts
CNN recently hosted a seven-hour climate bore-athon. That climate cataclysms are real and already devastating our planet was not open to discussion. So host Wolf Blitzer and ten Democrat presidential contenders vied to make the most extravagant claims about how bad things are, and who would spend the most taxpayer money and impose the most Green New Deal rules to restrict our freedoms and transform our energy, economy, agriculture and transportation, in the name of preventing further cataclysms.

18 years later, are we safer? Have we defeated Radical Islamic terrorism and those who sympathize with them, encourage them, fund them and cover up for them?
The short answer is NO.
Not only no, but we now have two terror sympathizers serving in the U.S. Congress as elected officials, using their position to normalize and even stand up for terror-linked people and organizations.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, as recently as few weeks ago, August 25th, tweeted her support for a chief financier of Al-Shabaab, the U.S.-designated Somali terror group is responsible for carrying out the deadliest terror attack in Somalia's history where almost 600 people were killed just 2 years ago.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is using her position and clout as a member of the U.S. Congress to pressure the Somali government to protect Hormuud Telecom. Two of the Telecom giant's employees were convicted in the deadliest terror bombing in Somalia in 2017. Ahmed Nur Ali Jimale, the Telecom giant founder, is a chief financier of Al-Shabaab.
Here is what the United Nations Security Council says about Hormuud Telecommunications in its Report of the Secretary-General (pages 10-11):
Hormuud Telecommunications is a company identified as being one of the single largest financiers of al-Shabaab, which includes large lump sum payments to al-Shabaab in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and these payments to al-Shabaab were facilitated by Jim’ale.Hormuud Telecommunications has provided key material and logistical support to al-Shabaab to include weapons, private fighters, and ammunition.†[emphasis in original]
But having a member of the U.S. Congress, Ilhan Omar, coming out in support of terrorists and their sympathizers should not come as a surprise. This is not the first time Ilhan Omar has gone out of her way to defend her terror-linked Somali-American community which elected her.
In November of 2016 Representative Omar wrote a personal letter appealing for "Compassion†and "leniency†for 9 Minnesota Somali men charged with planning on joining ISIS.
No less than 42 members of the Minnesota Somali community have left the U.S. to fight overseas with the terror organization Al-Shabaab.
But it doesn’t stop with Ilhan Omar.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the Hamas sympathizer, doesn’t even try to hide or camouflage her loyalty to the terror group and their supporters. She proudly declared after her primary win "I want to be a voice to the Palestinian People.â€
Hello! If you're going to be a member of the United States Congress, you're supposed to be a voice for the American people!
Read the rest, please! https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/on-the-anniversary-of-9-11-we-must-counter-the-enemy-within/After her swearing-in ceremony in her home district, Tlaib proudly socialized at a private dinner celebration with Abbas Hamideh, a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, both designated terror groups by the U.S. government. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the only one. Tlaib’s dinner celebration was filled with anti-Semitic terror sympathizers including Jbara Mwafaq, an infamous supporter of Hezbollah, and Ahlam Jbara, an anti-Semitic member of the UAE terror group, CAIR.
All of this without even mentioning the fact that these congresswomen have and continue to receive immense support from a "laundry list†of organizations that are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood or are unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation Trial (the largest terror-financing trial in U.S. history). The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) are just a few prime examples that come to mind.

Dana Mathewson asked me a question:
Is this one of the reasons you hate the NE Patriots? https://sports.yahoo.com/this-is-why-everyone-hates-you-new-england-000844442.html
I replied:
Only partly. I hate them because they are the Barack Obama of football. They can cheat, they can bully, they can get away with murder and the NFL gives them a pass. I don't know if it's because the team has pull with Roger Goodell or it was just a conscious decision to have one team designated "America's Team" like they did with the Dallas Cowboys during the '70's, but it is clear there is a huge bias in their favor. They STOLE the 2002 Superbowl from the St. Louis Rams, and they never really suffered for that. It sticks in my craw. And they play dirty, clutching and grabbing when it suits them. Remember spygate? That was the year they beat the Rams, and they had stolen the Rams playbook and taped their practices. Even with that they couldn't win, so they played a game of thug football, interfering with receivers and making late hits. Marshall Faulk was tackled almost every time he ran a pattern; he couldn't come close to getting open. They just tackled him.
I hate when cheaters prosper. The Patriots are the equivalent of Hillary Clinton, only they win instead of just whine.
BILL H. OBSERVES:
And, like Barack Obama, they preen and strut and act like they think they are some kind of superior being. What makes it worse is that idiots fall for it. They win because opposing teams faint when they come on the field. They complete passes because opposing teams are so terrified that they set their secondary fifteen yards off the line of scrimmage and start backing up when the ball is snapped.
And, like Obama, they place no value on honor, and human decency. They hire players who are murderers, rapists, wife beaters, thieves, prima donnas and players who demoralize the locker rooms of other teams. They bench or fire such players only when the NFL forces them to do so.
Case in point, Antonio Brown. With a lawsuit in court for rape and sexual assault against two trainers, their response is that they will "let the league handle it." That means they will let him play and help them win games until the league forces them to do otherwise.
Kansas City Chiefs in similar circumstances, child abuse, based on accusation when charges had not yet been filed, benched the player before the league did.
Pardon me, in the Chiefs' case it was spousal abuse. The Vikings did the same on child abuse, benching Peterson before the league suspended him.

Readers of a certain age probably remember Ringo Starr fondly. He always seemed sensible, for a rock musician, and it appears that money hasn’t driven him to the left, as happens with so many. Here Ringo says what he thinks about Brexit. It’s common sense, clearly and effectively expressed:[The following text is a Tweet]
"The people voted and they have to get on with it.
You had the vote, this is what won, let’s get on with it.
I would have voted for Brexit because it’s a great move.
To be in control of your own country is a good move."

The Church and Socialism; the Fallacy that won't go away
In the past the Catholic Church has strongly condemned Socialism, yet here we have the current Pope embracing it. It's a sin, not just wrong. Socialism violates the Commandments against theft, against coveting neighbor's goods, against not having other gods besides the Lord. It is nothing but a criminal conspiracy dressed in saintly robes. The Church needs to reaffirm that.
Oh, and the Pope's emphasis on the "preferential option for the poor" - a term invented by a Marxist Bishop who founded Liberation Theology - flies in the face of the fundamental purpose of Christianity, which is the salvation of souls. The physical well being of people is not unimportant, but it pales in comparison with the serious need to keep them out of Hell. This current Pope is more concerned with "social justice" than with Eternal Salvation.

In the past I've discussed CIA mind control experiments. Ted Kaczinski, the infamous Unabomber, was part of the MK-ULTRA program during his tenure at Harvard, and interestingly enough he turned into a mass murderer. I suspect there are others out there, and wonder if some of these mass shooters aren't the product of some of these experiments. There are certainly tantalizing clues; for example, James Holmes, the "joker shooter" may have been a product of the MK Ultra program. He clearly had connections to the DARPA program. While this is conspiracy stuff, it is absolutely clear that Kaczinski was.
At any rate, the Drudge Report linked up an NPR article about the MK-ULTRA program. See it here.
This article makes some interesting points. For instance, the MK-ULTRA program experimented with LSD, and it was the CIA that was largely responsible for the rise of the counter-culture hippie movement.
From the article:
In the early 1950s, he arranged for the CIA to pay $240,000 to buy the world's entire supply of LSD. He brought this to the United States, and he began spreading it around to hospitals, clinics, prisons and other institutions, asking them, through bogus foundations, to carry out research projects and find out what LSD was, how people reacted to it and how it might be able to be used as a tool for mind control.
Now, the people who volunteered for these experiments and began taking LSD, in many cases, found it very pleasurable. They told their friends about it. Who were those people? Ken Kesey, the author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, got his LSD in an experiment sponsored by the CIA by MK-ULTRA, by Sidney Gottlieb. So did Robert Hunter, the lyricist for the Grateful Dead, which went on to become a great purveyor of LSD culture. Allen Ginsberg, the poet who preached the value of the great personal adventure of using LSD, got his first LSD from Sidney Gottlieb. Although, of course, he never knew that name.
So the CIA brought LSD to America unwittingly, and actually it's a tremendous irony that the drug that the CIA hoped would be its key to controlling humanity actually wound up fueling a generational rebellion that was dedicated to destroying everything that the CIA held dear and defended.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has been speaking to Hillary Clinton behind the scenes throughout her presidential bid, according to sources who spoke with NBC News.
It was widely reported Clinton met with several potential 2020 candidates at the beginning of the year, including former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). However, the failed presidential candidate has been speaking to Warren in recent months,according to sources who spoke to NBC News.
Sources are not sure how many conversations Warren has had with Clinton, and neither has made obvious attempts to make their conversations nor the nature of them known to the general public.
NBC News reports:
One source was aware of just one additional call between Warren and Clinton since then. But a person who is close to Clinton said the contact has been substantial enough to merit attention, describing a conversation between the two as seemingly recent because it was "front of mind†for her.
"That has clearly not gone unnoticed, and I think she really appreciates that,†the person close to Clinton said.
It is established both women want President Trump out of the White House, though it is possible that Warren has failed to make her points of contact explicitly known due to the optics, as Clinton – another female who attempted to break the glass ceiling – lost handily to Trump in 2016.
"To the extent that Democratic primary voters fear a repeat scenario in 2020 — and to the extent that she’s competing with Sanders for the votes of progressives — there may be good reason for Warren to keep her distance from Clinton publicly,†NBC News reports. It notes Clinton could be a valuable asset in the event Warren "finds herself battling for delegates and superdelegates†at next year’s Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin– the same state Clinton lost in 2016.
Aha! The old "give me your delegates" trick. And since Pocahantas is likely the only woman who'll make the cut, and since the Dems work on the supposition that women have to stick together, Hillary'd have to support her. That is, unless she ends up feeling Warren's too far left and that it's time for Hillary herself to gather up the flying monkeys (the ones who are still alive, anyhow) and mount another candidacy of her own -- for the good of the country, of course.

I was surfing online and came on an article about electric cars. The article itself was uninteresting, but the comments all waxed poetic about the joys of democratic socialism and the wonders of Sweden. I wearied of the whole matter quickly, but thought I'd make the followig points about Swedish and Nordic socialist ideas.
There are only nine and a half million people in Sweden, and a fifth of them are immigrants. Ever wonder why? Native born Swedes are incapable of actually running their own countriy, because they have no enterpreneureal spirit or work ethic. That's what democratic socialism has bequethed them.
And Sweden had to institute austerity measures to cut spending back in the 90-'s, cut spending in order to bring in more business from outside. The Swedes have slowly been moving away from Democratic Socialism, even while the Democratic Party in America has been moving toward it.
Oh, and they don't really have to protect themselves; we do the job for them. That saves them billions of dollars. Meanwhile they get to enjoy a nice pool of oil which brings in lots of foreign capital.
The Scandanavian countries only prospered because they were largely kept out of the Second World War and managed to avoid military expensess by having the U.S. do it for them. Their low populations, abundant natural resources, and willingness to breed themselves out of existence via high immigration levels have worked to make their socialist utopia survive for a long time. But eventually you run out of other people's money.
That is why most Scandanavian countries are very business friendly and have reasonable taxation where business is concerned; they know they can't kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
John Stossel argues Sweden isn't socialist. According to John:
But that's not what Swedish historian Johan Norberg says in a new documentary and Stossel TV video.
"Sweden is not socialist—because the government doesn't own the means of production. To see that, you have to go to Venezuela or Cuba or North Korea," says Norberg.
"We did have a period in the 1970s and 1980s when we had something that resembled socialism: a big government that taxed and spent heavily. And that's the period in Swedish history when our economy was going south."
Per capita GDP fell. Sweden's growth fell behind other countries. Inflation increased.
[...]
Yet even those high taxes did not bring in enough money to fund Sweden's big welfare state.
"People couldn't get the pension that they thought they depended on for the future," recounts Norberg. "At that point the Swedish population just said, enough, we can't do this."
Sweden then reduced government's role.
They cut public spending, privatized the national rail network, abolished certain government monopolies, eliminated inheritance taxes, and sold state-owned businesses like the maker of Absolut vodka.
They also reduced pension promises "so that it wasn't as unsustainable," adds Norberg.
As a result, says Norberg, his "impoverished peasant nation developed into one of the world's richest countries."
Even socialistic Swedes complained about the high taxes.
Sweden's ex Prime Minister agrees with that assessment and has called out Bernie Sanders for his stupidity.Denmark's Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen. said the same thing.
He tolld students at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
And pro-market, pro national attitudes have only increased; the Swedes saw their right wing make big gains in last years elections.
In the end, the Scandanavian countries are in many ways more capitalistic than the U.S. They tend to have lower corporate taxes and a much more business friendly system. And while their life expectancy is higher, it is not because of socialized medicine; they were much higher prior to the institution of state run medicine, and those numbers have dropped relative to the rest of the world since.
If you want to use Sweden or any other Scandanavian country as your model for what America you need to learn more about them - and realize that we could never do things their way anyway. We really shouldn't want to, as they are disappearing under the weight of immigration and regulation.
In the end, they will learn the lesson of Margaret Thatcher, that socialism only works until you run out of other people's money.

Illegal aliens aren't committing crimes, we are told. So why is it that MS13 gang members murdered some people with knives in Maryland?
Uh, did you see what I did there; I pointed out they murdered with knives and not guns.
From the article:
Baltimore
County police announced the arrest of the seven suspects last Tuesday
in connection with the knifing death of 21-year-old Daniel Alejandro
Alvarado Cuellar in July. Their immigration status was not released
until Sunday, Fox News reported.
Military policemen escort a suspected MS-13 gang member detained during Operation Hunter, before taking him to police facilities for an investigation on a clandestine mass grave where the gang buried their victims, according to local media, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, June 20, 2016.
I thought these people didn't commit crimes. That's what they keep telling us.

We mustn't build walls, but bridges, the Democrats and liberals say. Walls don't work, they say. But the reality is - over two hundred miles of it - in Jordan.
Strange how walls don't work here but are fine elsewhere.

The next economic powerhouse - Ethiopia?
According to this article:
Ethiopia is Africa’s oldest independent country and its fastest growing economy today. With a population of over 100 million and an annual economic growth rate of 10% over the past 15 years, it presents a unique opportunity. Currently preventing it from joining the global map of successful economies are several challenges: a low per-capita GDP of under $800 per year and poor internet and smartphone penetration, mainly due to the largely rural population and a government monopoly on the telecommunications market.
Here are five reasons global stakeholders should take a closer look at Ethiopia:
They go on to list five reasons: Greater social stability (than in previous years there), a very large youthful demographic (gee, the Western elites have always told us how bad a growing population is. Does this mean they are wrong?), Possible privatization of state-owned companies (I thought free enterprise was supposed to be bad.), an environment that encourages start up businesses (how do you start up when you have nothing but dirt to sell?), and it's location between Europe and Asia (even though they don't have any real sea access since Eritrea seceded from their country.)I think this is wishful thinking. But it's interesting to note that this appeared at World Economic Forum, a left wing site. Even THEY have to admit that free enterprise is the only source for economic growth.
How do you develop an economy when your people don't have enough to eat? Japan realized this when they first decided to join the outside world, and they focused on agriculture first. Their lesson seems to be lost on most nations, particularly in Africa, where they expect to develop technology while their citizens are starving.
Good luck.

Remember The Trump Rally Hate Crime Study? Here’s What Happens When You Look At Hillary’s Rallies.
This is a perfect example of how liberals lie with fake "studies," then the media amplifies the lies.
From the article:
A study purporting to show that hate crimes increased 226% in counties that hosted rallies for then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 has been officially debunked. Not only did the study’s authors fail to account for the fact that political campaigns prefer to host rallies in populous areas, which already experience more hate crimes, but the authors didn’t check to see if the same increase could be applied to Hillary Clinton’s rallies.
Simply applying the same formula as the original academics, two Ph.D. students from Harvard University found that "Clinton rallies contribute to an even greater increase in hate crimes incidents than Trump rallies.†(Emphasis original.)
Back in March, professors from the University of North Texas and Texas A&M produced the study, which claimed Trump’s rallies led to an increase in hate crimes in the counties where they were hosted.
The study was actually debunkedin late August by Reason’s Robby Soave. Politifact earlier that month rated a tweet from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) using the statistic as "Half True,†but in true Politifact fashion, it still defended the study.
Soave, however, noted that the study did not, as Democrat politicians claimed, show that Trump caused an increase in hate crimes, but rather that "counties that hosted Trump rallies experienced 3.26 times as many incidents as other counties, a 226 percent difference.â€

Robert Mueller, Mr. Integrity, helped Saudi Arabia cover up its involvement in the 911 attacks and squash a lawsuit.
Mueller has been a terrible force in this country. He was acting U.S. Attorney in Boston when the FBI surreptitiously
So too Mueller headed up the anthrax probe, and two times he zeroed in on specific scientists, one of whom wound up taking his own life after being hounded by Mueller. In the end both scientists were exonerated and the real perp got away scot free. Mueller simply refused to look at evidence that contradicted his theory that this was an act of domestic terrorism.. He appointed the man who mangled the whole Ruby Ridge affair as his chief investigator.
He also badgered a sick John Ashcroft into not signing off on a renewal of anti-terrorism policy (ha and James Comey ambushed Ashcroft while he was in the hospital) and he refused to allow the FBI to work with the CIA on enhanced interrogations of terrorists. When asked to step up anti-terrorism actions by President Bush Mueller said :
"If they [suspects] don't commit a crime, it would be difficult to identify and isolate"
- a clear, willful violation of his oath
(remember, these were not U.S. citizens Bush wanted to keep an eye on.)
Mueller was involved in the Obama FISA abuse scandal, in the Uranium One scandal, the Russian Collusion hoax, Mueller worked with Jeffrey Epstein, knowing full well Epstein's vile behavior and lawbreaking. He was likely responsible for Epstein's slap on the wrist sentence. Ditto George Nader.
Mueller violated the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act of 2004 (CVRA) by not notifying victims of the deal.
Mueller was at the forefront of "de-Islamophobi
Mueller purged many of the career agents with his "up and out" program, forcing them to serve time in D.C. or retire. The result was he was able to fill the FBI with political cronies after career field directors retired rather than move to Washington.
Mueller protected the Fetullah Gulen terrorist network, going after whistle blowers and the like. It was part of why Mueller went after Michael Flynn so hard; Flynn was investigating Guelen's network and Mueller wanted to stop him.
This man is a total scumbag. Oh, and he was approved by the Senate unanimously, which should ALWAYS give us pause.

The Walton family is working to privatize education in Arkansas.
According to the Leftist rag Salon:
The Alabama Education Association did the research and described the empire that the Waltons have constructed in service to their goal of owning and privatizing the public schools of Arkansas. In the Walton plan, there will be no "public schools,†only privately managed charter schools and vouchers for religious schools.
The AEA report lays out the Walton Empire of Privatization in detail, with their bought and paid for think tanks and academics:
Although this report includes a lot of names, it is just one slice of the nationwide effort to plunder our public schools. These organizations have a vast infrastructure and deep pockets that can seem daunting, but our students are counting on us to stand up and speak out.
While they may have more cash, we have the power of numbers and common sense. Arkansas’s taxpayers and students would be better served by investing our scarce resources to improve our neighborhood public schools and helping all of the students who attend them.
In what universe are students better served by failing public schools? And it is not as if the students are going to be left high and dry because there are no public schools; they will be given vouchers to attend private facilities. There will be more private facilities and they will need teachers. Oh, and those facilities will be more responsive to the needs of the student and to the wishes of the parents. But I am making too much sense here.
If the heirs to the Walmart fortune want to encourage private education and discourage abusive government brain washateria, that is their right in America. I hope they succeed.
I love this bit of stupidity:
As old as the country itself? If we ever needed evidence that these people are ignoramuses and not fit to educate our children it is that last statement. We did not have mandatory free education in America until after the Civil War and especially the coming of John Dewey. Prior to that there were some scattered public schools, mainly in New England, but you still had to pay to attend.
America was educated almost exclusively by the private sector until the Progressive era.
Arkansasliteracy.org claims that fifteen percent of Arkansans over sixteen cannot read, despite mandatory public education. If true, that is a horrendous failure rate by public educrats. It shouldn't surprise us; Albert Shanker, former boss hog of the American Federation of Teachers, once famously stated:
the interests of school children".
Now, I'm not saying there aren't dedicated teachers; quite the opposite. But so many are trapped in a bad system that does not serve either their interests nor the interests of the children they are supposed to serve.
So let us applaud the efforts by the Walton family to return to what served this country so well. Something must be done; America's experiment with public education has been a horrible failure.

Guess what? Trump was right about Alabama being in the path of Hurricane Dorian, according to NOAA.
From NPR:
CNN and the rest of the mainstream media spent days mocking the President, claiming he lied and was using a fake map. Turns out CNN was the liar.
The parent agency of the National Weather Service said late Friday that President Trump was correct when he claimed earlier this week that Hurricane Dorian had threatened the state of Alabama.
The article continues:The surprise announcement in an unsigned statement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration essentially endorsed Trump's Sunday tweet saying that Alabama will "most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated."
And CNN
mislabeled
Alabama as Mississippi in THEIR hurricane map.

Backdoor gun control? I don't know what else it could be.
From the Blaze article:
According to Forbes, the Department of Justice filed a court order on September 5 ordering both Google and Apple to give up names, phone numbers, and IP addresses of everyone who downloaded the app since Aug. 1, 2017. The document is now sealed, but Forbes managed to view it while it was briefly publicly available.According to a snippet from the court order published by Forbes, the government hopes to use this data to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) track down illegal weapons exports to Canada, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong.
This pattern of unlawful, attempted exports of this rifle scope in combination with the manner in which the ATN Obsidian 4 application is paired with this scope manufactured by Company A supports the conclusion that the information requested herein will assist the government in identifying networks engaged in the unlawful export of this rifle scope through identifying end users located in countries to which export of this item is restricted.
In addition to any potential weapons exporters, who may or may not be included in this data, the government will be getting the personal information of thousands of other people.
Our government has no business collecting this kind of data on American citizens. It is a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
A free society does not have government spying on her citizenry.

The radical left-wing website Think Progress will be thinking no more; the site is shutting down due to financial difficulties.
According to the article:
The outlet, which served as an editorially independent project of the Democratic Party think tank Center for American Progress (CAP), will stop current operations on Friday and be converted into a site where CAP scholars can post.
This shows how, ultimately, liberal ideas do not succeed in the business world. Unfortunately they do a great deal of damage until they finally die.
