Good News: Hollywood Stars Take Long Fossil Fueled Trips To Philly To Whine About Fossil Fuels

Climate change hypocrisy on dispay. Can we call it Leo Dicaprio Syndrome?

(Haaretz) More than 1,000 people joined Hollywood stars including Shailene Woodley, Susan Sarandon and Danny Glover in Philadelphia last night on the eve of the Democratic National Convention and vowed to keep fighting for climate and environmental justice issues, even though their preferred presidential candidate would not be driving the party’s agenda.

Sarandon, who like the other stars in attendance campaigned on behalf of Sen. Bernie Sanders, said the rally’s turnout was proof that theirs was a movement and not a cult of personality as some critics alleged. (snip)

The event was organized by NextGen Climate, a San Francisco-based environmental advocacy organization. The event included musical acts and a screening of the documentary “How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can’t Change” by writer/director Josh Fox. Fox is best known for “Gasland,” which included memorable images of Pennsylvania homeowners setting tap water aflame.

Well, obviously, and as typical, the movie is all about Progressive values, and has nothing about Warmists practicing what the preach. It does tell you that you can dance, and sing, and write poetry. Vote. Annoy your friends, family, and neighbors, er, spread awareness.

Oh, and carry your trash on your back for 5 days (in the courage section). Perhaps all these Climahypocrites in Philly can cart away all their trash for a change?

Perhaps they could all walk home instead of using fossil fueled vehicles and planes.

Democrats Sure Love Walls At Their Convention

We already know about the big, 8 foot tall 4 mile long fence around the Wells Fargo Center. How about this?

We also know that American flags are missing from the Dem convention. And Democrats broke the law as they trotted illegal aliens up on stage. Photo ID is required for access to the Dem convention. Oh, and Michelle Obama is suddenly proud of her country for a 2nd time. Does anyone think that Democrats will spontaneiously break into a chant of “USA USA USA”?

Dem Gender Confused Pandering: DNC Makes Several Women’s Bathrooms “All Genders”

The Democratic National Convention is being held in a city where it is still against the law to use the opposite biological bathroom, though they’ve attempted to force schools to allow the gender confused to use whatever bathroom they feel like. It’s also the policy of the Wells Fargo Center that people use their biological bathroom. Yet, Dems still held their convention there. I guess pandering to that itty bitty number of gender confused was a bit too much for the Democrats. Or, perhaps they just didn’t want males free reign in women’s bathrooms. So, they made a tiny change

(Washington Free Beacon) The Democratic National Convention has turned a women’s restroom into an “all-gender” bathroom at the Wells Fargo Arena.

The all-gender bathroom is one of the ways the DNC is infusing its party platform into the arena accommodations. The arena also has a “gluten-free zone” and garbage cans are categorized by landfill, recycling, and compost.

A DNC volunteer told the Washington Free Beacon that there is only one all-gender restroom to accommodate transgender individuals.

The change leaves female convention goers with one fewer bathroom than male attendees.

The Daily Caller is reporting that the DNC changed one women’s bathroom per floor into a gender free-for-all bathroom. Funny how the took away women’s bathrooms, not men’s, right?

At least one person at the DNC cares, according to media reports.

“I don’t need no man in the next stall next to me while I go to the bathroom,” a female employee of the arena told Mynorthwest.com.

“We need a male and female she said. I’ve got personal business. I’m trying to keep it real.”

“It’s privacy. I need privacy.”

Privacy? Girl, you’re hanging with the wrong people. They don’t care about your privacy.

Supposedly, the male cameramen have taken over that bathroom.

Islamists Attack French Church, “Behead” Priest

The Religion of Peace is on the march

(UK Daily Mail) An 86-year-old priest has been ‘beheaded’ by two ‘Islamic’ knifemen who cut his throat after bursting into a French church and taking nuns and worshippers hostage before being shot dead by police.

Five people including the priest, two nuns and two parishioners were held by assailants who raided the church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, near the city of Rouen in Normandy at 9am.

The clergyman, named as Jacques Hamel, is believed to have been beheaded during the attack while another hostage is fighting for their life in hospital.

The two attackers have been ‘neutralised’ by elite marksmen in a dramatic police operation while the building is being searched for explosives.

At least one of the men was dressed in Islamic clothing, according to French media reports, and an anti-terrorist unit has already taken up the investigation.

One of the nuns present escaped when the Islamists broke in and called the authorities.

(UK Telegraph) Police have shot dead two men who took a priest and several others hostage at knifepoint at a church in north-western France.

The men shouted “Daesh” and cut the priest’s throat before being “neutralised,” police said. (snip)

French newspaper Le Figaro reported that the church was suspected to have been on a list of Catholic places of worship in the area around Paris drawn up as possible targets by Sid Ahmed Ghlam, an Algerian student arrested last year on suspicion of murdering a mother-of-one during a botched attempt to attack a church in Villejuif.

Le Point newspaper also reported that the yelled “Daesh”, an Arabic acronym for ISIS, per The Local.

Of course, many news outlets are suddenly unwilling to speculate, nor offer some of this information. Reuters fails to mention it. CNN fails. Same with the UK Guardian, along with a host of others, especially here in the U.S. They’re all also trotting out the “motives unknown” schtick. The NY Times has a tiny blurb, but does not that all these attacks are fueling a summer of anxiety. Oh, and that ISIS is totally losing, but that this will increase guerrilla attacks.

  • July 24th: suicide bombing attack in Germany, Syrian refugee, and a murderous rampage with a machete by a Syrian refugee
  • July 22nd: Munich mall shooting
  • July 18: train attack by a 17 year old “migrant”
  • July 14th: the Nice “Bastille Day” attack, 84 murdered, over 300 injured
  • March 22: Suicide attack at the Brussels airport and Maelbeek metro station
  • November 13, 2015: Attacks at the Bataclan concert hall, cafes and the national stadium, 130 killed and over 350 wounded.

This isn’t even counting all the attacks in Israel, Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Yet, Islamist apologists on the Left do not seem to know the motive. Fortunately for European citizens, Jean-Claude Junker, the EU Commission President, has stated that open borders will stay, no matter how bad terrorism gets. It’s easy for the big wigs, they are usually protected. Rather makes Brits happy that they approved BreXit, so they can have their own protection policies.

And now this

Tales From Socialism: McDonald’s Can No Longer Sell Big Macs In Venezuala

We’ve already seen the cost of socialism, which, unlike the political science definition, is really Statism, in other countries: massive lines and the inability to get food and goods in places like the USSR. Hundreds of millions slaughtered. Jailing dissidents. Well, the mass murder of citizens has mostly ended, but, things like jailing dissidents, shutting off TV and radio, controlling the news media, etc, are all still present. Oh, and the inability to get goods. We’ve seen Venezuela, the socialist paradise Leftists love, run out of toilet paper, seen the production of beer shut down, and seen people crossing the border to get food. Now

(CNN) The latest sign of deepening crisis in Venezuela? McDonald’s has been forced to suspend sales of Big Macs in the country because it can’t source one of the burger’s key components.

Arcos Dorados, the world’s largest McDonald’s franchisee, said Thursday that it wasn’t able to supply the middle bun that separates the two burger patties.

While the company is working to resolve the problem, it will continue to offer menu options such as the Quarter Pounder and a cheeseburger called the McNífica. (snip)

The country can’t pay to import some goods because its government is desperately strapped for cash after years of mismanagement of its funds, heavy spending on poorly run government programs, and lack of investment on its oil fields.

Venezuala is an actual real world test site for what Statism/socialism looks like.

Oh, and nephews of Venezuela’s first lady have been busted trying to smuggle almost 2,000 pounds of cocaine.

‘Climate Change” Is A Crime Against Humanity Or Something

Another day, another bit of nutbaggery from the Cult of Climastrology, via the Dhaka Tribune

Climate change as crime against humanity

Crimes against humanity is a term occasionally thrown around when people want to describe acts of utter depravity and unequivocally outside the realm of legitimacy.

The term, in the meantime, has an actual legal definition: the Rome Statute describes crimes against humanity as widespread acts of murder, deportation, and other inhumane acts of similar character.

A vital question which we can no longer avoid is whether a willful rejection of mitigating climate change constitutes as a crime against humanity.

Let’s see…..”no.” But, if Warmists actually believe this, and this notion of anthropogenic climate change being a crime against humanity has been growing over the past few years, then they themselves are criminals for refusing to give up their own fossil fueled use, etc and so on. I’ve written this innumerable times, mainly because Warmists refuse to practice what they preach.

I’ll leave it up to you to read the middle part, which is amazing in it’s wackadoodleness, and ends thusly

If our current interpretations of the law do not cover a major and heinous act such the oblivious conduct of the leading climate change contributors, and if such acts will cause the death and destruction of — albeit nameless and faceless — millions, then it is our understanding of the law that needs an urgent update.

If human rights laws and lawyers fail to rise to the occasion, there will be other meta-narratives seeking to articulate and redress this grave injustice.

In other words, they want to utterly force a change of law as to what constitutes a crime against humanity in order to cover Hotcoldwetdry. I bet most in Bangladesh, a very poor country, would actually prefer to have the lifestyle of all the people in 1st World Countries who’ve taken advantage of all the things the high priests of the Cult of Climastrology want to restrict in places like Bangladesh.

BTW, all the Warmists hold the same opinions as the repressive, fundamentalist Islamic nuts in Iran.

Woman Who Wants To Be President: Bad Things That Happened In Benghazi Not My Responsibility

This sounds great: if Hillary Clinton wins, we’ll get yet another four years of a President who refuses to take responsibility

(The Blaze) Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview with “60 Minutes” that she was not responsible for security failures leading up to the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi.

When asked what responsibility she has for the Benghazi attacks, Clinton said she “took responsibly” as secretary of state, but Congress found no negligence on her part.

“When this happened in Benghazi, I immediately stood up an independent committee – distinguished Americans, military and civilian experts,” she said. “They came out and they said, ‘You know, the ball was dropped – in security. And, you know, some of the decisions that were made, probably should have been rethought.’”

CBS’s Scott Pelley then interjected: “But wasn’t that your ball to carry?”

“No it wasn’t. It was not my ball to carry,” Clinton responded. “Read the reports, read all of the reports — all many hundreds of pages of them.”

She was Secretary of State. She was a prime mover behind the whole Libyan fiasco. It was her job to make sure that our diplomatic personnel were secure, especially with a diplomatic mission operating in an area, Benghazi, which was becoming increasingly dangerous, what with all the Islamic jihadis streaming into the area. This resulted in multiple attacks on diplomatic personnel from other nations, causing them, including the Brits, to pull out. Their ambassador was attacked multiple times. The news media were pulling out of Benghazi.

And the U.S. diplomatic personnel and our compounds had been attacked several times prior to the 9/11/12 attack.

The presumptive Democratic nominee said the security reports from Benghazi “never reached me” or “came to my attention.”

Huh

(CNS News) Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged to the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday that of the more than 600 security requests related to Libya and Benghazi that came in in 2012 before the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack none ever reached her desk.

However, Blumenthal’s 150 emails reached her desk, Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) said.

Did no one bring up the security situation to the Secretary of State? Did she not ask “say, how are things in Libya?” Were there no meetings to discuss the situation in Libya? Or was Hillary just too busy using her position to enrich herself and her family via her “charity” foundation which spent little on actual charity?

DNC: Fences Are Great To Keep Out Riff Raff From Convention, But Not To Protect America

It’s that time. The Democratic National Convention, where they will nominate a horrible, incompetent candidate. The DNC coordinated to make sure The Queen was the last one standing, and now party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been forced to resign, and Bernie and the Bernie bro’s are livid. But, they really do have a fantistic “wall” around their convention site. Hmm, a wall

  • Democrats believe that cooperation is better than conflict, unity is better than division, empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls.
  • Donald Trump has a different approach….. He wants to build walls and keep people—including Americans—from entering the country based on their race, religion, ethnicity, and national origin.
  • We are not a country that cowers behind walls.
  • Democrats reject Donald Trump’s proposal to build a wall on our southern border…..

Those are 4 of the mentions of “wall” in the DNC platform (the other 13 are whining about Wall St while taking lots and lots of Wall St money). But….

(The American Mirror) To the Democratic National Committee elites, keeping average Americans away from their convention is a good idea, while protecting the southern border from intruding terrorists, rapists and murderers is a bad one.

The DNC has erected a four-mile fence around its convention site at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. (Isn’t it ironic they’re doing so much to protect a site named after a bank?)

The fence is roughly 8 feet high, is heavy duty in many spots, as opposed to simply chainlink, and also has a double reinforcement in strategic spots.

https://twitter.com/BKrab1/status/757239825942667264

They’re even going to fence in the areas for protesters, which have been set aside, and are away from the areas the media will tend to spend time in.

Will the GOP and Donald Trump take advantage of the visuals of the fencing? We’ll see.
