The U.S. had no major landfalling hurricanes from the 2006 season through to late in the 2017 season. There were very few landfalling hurricanes during that time period, as well, nor many tropical storms. But, now, of course, after a few hurricanes during the 2017 and 2018 seasons, something that typically happens, well, we’re back to the new normal thing, which was trotted out after the massive 2005 season, Superstorm Sandy in 2012 (which was not a hurricane at landfall), and now, here’s Excitable Eugene Robinson fear-mongering (yet forgetting to tell us that he’s given up his own use of fossil fuels and gone carbon neutral) and taking advantage of people who just went through a natural disaster
Climate change is real. Welcome to the new normal.
Hurricane Florence has drenched eastern North Carolina with more than 30 inches of rain, an all-time record for the state. Last year, Hurricane Harvey stalled over Houston and dumped more than 60 inches of rain, an all-time record for the whole country. Also last year, Hurricane Maria ravaged the island of Puerto Rico and caused, according to an independent study, nearly 3,000 deaths.
Welcome to the new normal.
Tropical cyclones are nothing new, of course. But climate scientists saythat global warming should make such storms wetter, slower and more intense — which is exactly what seems to be happening. And if we fail to act, these kinds of devastating weather events will likely become even more frequent and more severe.
Which is exactly what they said right after the big 2005 season, and immediately saw these systems fade away for a decade. But, you know, this isn’t about science, reality, consistency, continuity, etc. It’s about in the moment scare-mongering.
Every human being on the planet has a stake in what governments do to limit and adapt to climate change, including leaders who, like President Trump, prefer to believe global warming is some kind of hoax. I doubt the citizens of Wilmington, N.C. — a lovely resort town that was turned into an island by widespread flooding from Florence — feel there is anything illusory about the hardship they’re going through.
Did they blame hurricanes during the Little Ice Age on mankind? Well, perhaps on illusionary witches.
Climate change is no longer theoretical. It is real, it is all around us, and it is going to get much worse.

I suppose all the private jets were going that way anyway, right?
PRIVATE JET TRAFFIC BUMPED UP 30 PERCENT DURING CALIFORNIA CLIMATE CONFERENCE
San Francisco International Airport’s corporate jet traffic rose roughly 30 percent during an international climate change conference in California, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown hosted the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco from Wednesday to Friday. Brown traveled to the conference by car with his security detail, but the governor is known for his lavish travel on other occasions, such as a 2016 trip to Italy, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine with real-estate tycoon and Democrat Party donor George Marcus.
More than 4,000 elected officials, executives and environmentalists converged in San Francisco for the climate conference where participants discussed the threat of climate change and looked for solutions.
Corporate jet traffic increased 30 percent over normal at San Francisco’s airport during the three-day conference, with much of the congestion due to attendees, airport spokesman Doug Yakel told The San Francisco Chronicle.
What, you expected all those government big-wigs and rich climate change leaders to fly commercial? How gauche. They have to have their champagne, caviar, and fly in utter comfort. They’ll drop a few bucks on (supposedly) planting a tree somewhere to offset their Bad Climate Behavior.

This has caused many, many Liberal’s heads to explode

This will include all text messages of Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr.
Trump orders Justice Dept. to declassify Russia-related material
President Trump on Monday ordered the Justice Department to declassify significant materials from the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, threatening to spur a showdown with federal law enforcement officials resistant to publicizing information from an ongoing probe.
In a statement, the White House said Trump was ordering the department to immediately declassify portions of the secret court order to monitor former campaign adviser Carter Page, along with all interviews conducted as officials applied for that authority.
Trump also instructed the department to publicly release the unredacted text messages of several former high-level Justice Department and FBI officials, including former FBI director James B. Comey and deputy director Andrew McCabe.
For months, conservative lawmakers have been calling on the department to release Russia-related and other materials, many of them accusing law enforcement of hiding information that might discredit the investigation now led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
And it looks like Trump finally had enough. Will this release have any big revelations? Well, we’ve seen plenty so far on the material that has been released, much with redactions.
Of course, this has made many Democrats unhappy
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, called the order a “clear abuse of power†and said that based on his conversations with federal law enforcement officials, the FBI and Justice Department would consider the release of these materials “a red line that must not be crossed as they may compromise sources and methods.â€
Of course he does. He only wants certain information released, namely, that which makes Trump and company look bad. He’s not particularly happy with full transparency
“Transparency wins,†Rep Mark Meadows said in a tweet. “This is absolutely the right call from @POTUS. It’s time to get the full truth on the table so the American people can decide for themselves on what happened at the highest levels of their FBI and Justice Department.†(snip)
“These documents will reveal to the American people some of the systemic corruption and bias that took place at the highest levels of the DOJ and FBI, including using the tools of our intelligence community for parÂtisan political ends,†said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).
Declassify and release so that the citizens can see the information and decide.
Unshockingly, the German police are refusing to release the name and any information of relevance about the person, which should really tell us all we need to know
German Teen Arrested For Allegedly Plotting Gay Club Bomb Attack
BERLIN (AP) — A German teenager has been arrested on suspicion he was planning an Islamic extremist bombing attack in the Frankfurt area, prosecutors said Thursday.
Frankfurt prosecutors’ spokesman Sinan Akdogan told The Associated Press the 17-year-old was arrested by Hesse state police Sept. 1 and ordered held by a judge on suspicion of preparing a serious act of violence.
The information leading to the arrest, provided by the United States, indicated the suspect was planning to attack a gay nightclub in Frankfurt and a Catholic church in the city, according to an official with access to intelligence information, who discussed it on condition of anonymity.
At the time of his arrest, the suspect had instructions on how to make explosives known as TATP and was trying to procure chemicals online, Akdogan said.
It was not clear how advanced the preparations were but Akdogan said small amounts of chemicals were found during a search of the suspect’s home in Florstadt, northeast of Frankfurt.
The suspect’s name was withheld for privacy reasons and Akdogan said he could not give further details on the planned attack.
What’s the over/under on the person being a radical Islamist? Probably pretty good.
This was actually in the Queer Voices section of the HuffPost, linked on the front page. At what point will the LGBTQwhatever community finally realize that radical Islam, which, at least in viewpoint, not necessarily direct violence, is a sizable chunk of Islam, is bad for the “queer” community? That it poses an actual threat?

Funny how so many Leftist initiatives end up hurting lower level workers, eh?
Housekeepers Are Protesting Marriott’s Green Energy Initiative
Housekeepers are protesting Marriott International’s “Make a Green Choice†program, claiming the initiative is costing them money and forcing erratic work on their schedules.
Marriott and its hotel subsidiaries are offering customers a deal: Earn 500 bonus points for every day you refuse housekeeping services. Participating customers can refuse serve for up to three consecutive days at a time, racking up a large amount of points in the process. The “Make a Green Choice†program is also being billed as an environmentally friendly initiative, with advertisements lauding the amount of water, electricity and chemicals that can be saved.
However, not everyone is happy.
Maids across the country are livid over the new program, claiming they are being harmed with reduced work hours and more stressful schedules as they now must clean rooms that haven’t been managed in several days. Unite Here — a union that represents many of the Marriott housekeepers — are organizing against the program.
Essentially, if the guests are not requesting housekeeping, then the housekeepers are working less hours and making less money, and, when they finally get to clean a room, it takes a lot more time and effort because the rooms are dirtier.
The leaflets are being given to guests staying at the Marriott Marquis in San Francisco, according to View From The Wing. Additionally, the leaflets claim the Green Choice program has resulted in 700,000 hours of lost work and 350 fewer full-time jobs. Unite Here has a strike in San Francisco with more possibly on the way in Boston and other cities.
Hey, maybe the Leftists can push harder for a $15 minimum wage, so that even more jobs can be lost.

The Editorial Board, featuring racist Sarah Jeong, has finally chimed in using Hurricane Florence to prop up their anthropogenic climate change fantasy (while using vast amounts of fossil fuels to distribute their dead tree edition)
Nature Roars. Washington Hears Nothing.
The elements offer a rebuke as President Trump rolls back policies designed to address global warming.As if this past summer of merciless heat waves, droughts and megafires were not warning enough, in the past several days the elements sounded another alarm about the state of a world made warmer by the burning of fossil fuels. It came in the form of a one-two punch of wind and rainfall from Hurricane Florence, which like Hurricane Harvey a year ago, has derived much of its wallop from unusually warm ocean waters and stalled weather systems linked to climate change. “Superchargedâ€Â is the word one prominent climate scientist, Michael Mann, used to describe Florence, echoing the findings of the federal Global Change report in 2014 that, along with a rise in other extreme weather events, “hurricane intensity and rainfall are projected to increase as the climate continues to warm.â€

Interestingly, what actually happened with Florence?
At Friday’s Daily Update, veteran meteorologist Joe Bastardi posed a question to the climate ambulance chasers and folks at the Washington Post: “How come Florence didn’t intensify more? How come Isaac is falling apart at the heart of the hurricane season? […] How come everything is dying? There’s so much more than just simplistic arguments that are done for agendas.â€
Remember, the media folks were trotting out fears of a Category 6 hurricane. Yet, Florence never re-strengthened, thank goodness. It was bad enough as a low hurricane, then quickly dropping to tropical storm status and then depression, especially as it moved so darned slow. Nature was responsible for making Florence big, and responsible for decreasing the power in contradiction to all the Warmist (and real meteorologist) predictions.
To no one’s surprise, this linkage went unacknowledged in President Trump’s Washington. Quite the contrary. On Tuesday, in a further retreat from President Barack Obama’s ambitious promises to reduce America’s emissions of the greenhouse gases deemed largely responsible for global warming, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed weakening rules aimed at reducing leaks of methane from oil and gas operations. Methane, a principal component of natural gas, is a short-lived but potent greenhouse gas that represents about 9 percent of this country’s total greenhouse gas emissions; one-third of it comes from oil and gas operations.
The NYTEB goes on to whine about the Trump admin rolling back all sorts of Obama era regulations, ones that were manufactured with a pen, rather than being approved of by the duly elected legislative branch, then delves into the climate change summit in San Francisco, where people from all over the world took fossil fueled trips to proclaim they will Do Something, ending with
Uniting these leaders is a belief that human ingenuity can lead us out of a predicament that humans have helped create and a faith in collective action that is almost impossible to find on the Potomac.
You know what would be fun? Putting a carbon tax on newspapers. Actual newspapers. Let’s see how quick outlets like the NY Times complain.

And, of course, in true Liberal World mode, Kavanaugh is guilty till proven innocent
(Breitbart) Mark Judge, a writer in Washington, D.C., has reiterated his strong denial of allegations that he watched as Brett M. Kavanaugh allegedly sexually assaulted a girl when he and Kavanaugh attended a party while they were in high school more than three decades ago.
The accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, claims that she was able to escape when Judge jumped on top of her and Kavanaugh and dislodged the two. She went public with an on record account in a story published Sunday in the Washington Post.
Judge was Kavanaugh’s friend and classmate at Georgetown Preparatory School.  The Post story claims that Kavanaugh and Judge were both “stumbling drunk†when the two, as the Post characterized it, “corralled her into a bedroom during a gathering of teenagers at a house in Montgomery County.â€
Now that Ford’s name and more details about her allegations were released in the Poststory, Judge reiterated his denial:
“Now that the anonymous person has been identified and has spoken to the press, I repeat my earlier statement that I have no recollection of any of the events described in today’s Post article or attributed to her letter,†he said in a statement to Breitbart News.
As AP Dillion points out
It also seems weird she used the WaPo tip line prior to his nomination…then somehow she ends up sending a letter to her Rep which then lands with Feinstein…where it sits for months, unmentioned until it’s clear the Dems need a Hail Mary move. https://t.co/D7VTIbkAv0
— A.P. Dillon (@APDillon_) September 17, 2018
Apparently, the WP sat on this story for months, just like Feinstein did. There’s political dirty tricks, then there’s accusing a good man, a many who has led an upstanding life, of bad conduct from 35 years ago when he was a teenager. But, who is the woman? She’s apparently a Trump hater, for one thing. She was caught wearing a brain style pussy hat at an anti-Trump march
Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who claims she was physically attacked at a high school party by Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh three decades ago, has taken part in events opposing President Donald Trump, including a science march in California last year where she donned a version of the “pussy hats†worn at the January 2017 Women’s March.
Blasey Ford is cited in a San Jose Mercury News article as wearing the hat at the march, which the newspaper said was held because people were “angered by the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to research.â€
She also signed a letter against Trump’s border enforcement. Let me tell you, if she wants to go down this road of an accusation from 35 years ago, there will be people digging even deeper into her life.
But, a few Republican Senators, such as Jeff Flake, want to hear more. They’ll give her a chance to tell her side of the story….quick, tell me a story that you remember in super detail from 35 years ago, like she tells hers in the Washington Post.
Scott Morefield notes
Ever since rumors began swirling on Capitol Hill about a mystery letter in the possession of Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, it was only a matter of time before Judge Kavanaugh’s formerly “anonymous†accuser made her grand entrance to the national stage. After all, Democratic attempts to delay, interrupt, grandstand, and even “Spartacus†their way out of replacing former Justice Anthony Kennedy with a conservative jurist of President Trump’s choosing had thus far been unsuccessful, so why not pull out the old classic “Anita Hill†tactic? It may or may not work, but Dems are just trying to run out the clock at this point, right? (snip)
The alleged incident left Ford so traumatized, apparently, that she neglected to go public or even file a police report for … wait for it … 36 years.
And it’s not like she didn’t have plenty of opportunities during those nearly four decades. Yet, Ford was silent with Kavanaugh clerked at the Supreme Court, silent when he was a White House attorney, and still silent after Kavanaugh became a U.S. Circuit Judge in 2006 – a process that required a lengthy and controversial Senate confirmation – and all the years thereafter, even as he weighed in on important cases regarding the environment, separation of powers, human rights, and criminal procedure, among others.
Now, on the eve of Senate confirmation, Ford – a California clinical psychology college professor who just happens to be a registered Democrat – decides that justice MUST be served. It’s her “civic responsibility,†don’t you know.
So yeah, color me skeptical.
Guy Benson promises an article at Townhall today, as well, and, as part of a lengthy tweet storm, writes
Proving a negative is impossible, esp ~4 decades later & the timing of all of this is highly suspect. I’d add that even those who want to defeat Kavanaugh due to politics should be careful about embracing a precedent under which this approach is ‘rewarded’ as effective…
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) September 16, 2018
It’s all about an 11th hour smear designed to run out the clock till after the mid-terms, using a woman’s long ago fantasy of a sexual assault to do this. Essentially playing politics with sexual assault.
At the end of the day, though, a person is innocent till proven guilty, and she doesn’t have the proof.
