Fossil Fuels Using Dems Target Skeptic Groups And Senators

By William Teach July 12, 2016 – 10:30 am

You can bet the ranch on the fact that every Democrat in the Senate uses vast amounts of fossil fuels to get from their state to Washington, D.C. And you can bet that most of them travel in fossil fueled vehicles daily to get to work both in D.C. and when they’re back in their home states. Plus all the fossil fuels usage for personal travel. They all certainly have big carbon footprints. Yet

(Daily Caller)  Democratic senators were told to target and scorn conservative nonprofit groups Monday and Tuesday for opposing Democratic policies addressing man-made global warming, internal emails indicate.

Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat, has directed 19 of his fellow Democratic senators to attack conservative and libertarian organizations such as Americans for Prosperity and the Cato Institute on the chamber floors for engaging in what the senators call a “web of denial.”

Whitehouse and Democratic Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid – according to an internal email circulated by Emily Enderle, a top environmental policy adviser to Whitehouse, who is leading the hit parade – have created a senate schedule for Monday and Tuesday, requesting the senators lambaste the groups assigned to them.

Here’s part of that document

It’s rather disturbing that elected federal officials will use their lofty perches to assault private organizations they disagree with on matters of policy (because it’s not a science).

“It’s unbelievable the level of coordination the Senate Democrats have taken to political intimidate free market organizations,” Molly Drenkard, a spokeswoman with the American Legislative Economic Exchange (ALEC), told The Daily Caller News Foundation. ALEC is one of the conservative groups targeted by the senators.

She added: “Any person or organization—left, right, or nonpartisan—should be concerned when elected officials try to actively stifle free speech. This is clearly the next step in the attorneys general subpoena intimidation campaign.”

Any Warmists/Democrats who are OK with this anti-First Amendment abuse should consider how they would feel if Republicans were going after Democrat leaning private groups.

And every one of these groups and Senators should reply back in asking if the Democrats have given up their own use of fossil fuels and made their lives carbon neutral.

Good Grief: Democrat Corrine Brown Claims Persecution Because She’s Black

By William Teach July 12, 2016 – 7:04 am

She also manages to compare her ordeal to the recent tragedies

(Daily Caller) Rep. Corrine Brown, a Democratic congresswoman currently facing a bevy of corruption charges, claimed Monday that she is being persecuted by malicious prosecutors and likened her ordeal to the murder of police in Dallas.

Brown was indicted last week on a host of fraud charges that could send her to prison for years. She is accused of helping create a bogus charity, which raised over $800,000 for the ostensible purpose of funding scholarships. Brown and her chief of staff are accused of using the money as a personal piggy bank, repeatedly redirecting it to Brown’s own bank accounts so she could pay off back taxes or pay for events honoring herself. Meanwhile, just $1,200 in scholarships were awarded.

Here’s her open letter

Friends,

Last week was very rough.

Two black men were needlessly gunned down by police; 5 Dallas police officers were slain by a demented man, and on Friday I had to appear in federal court.

Yes, she actually compared going to court to face charges to those other incidents.

My heart is heavy, but my spirit remains unbroken. Being indicted is very scary. Yet my conscience is clear because I’m innocent. I’m not the first black elected official to be persecuted and, sad to say, I won’t be the last.

“Persecuted.” Because she’s Black. And people wonder why racial divisions are getting worse when you have a politian caught with her hand in the cookie jar claiming she’s being persecuted because she’s Black. Back to the Daily Caller

It’s not the only bizarre claim Brown has made about her indictment. In a recent statement to reporters, she suggested that federal officials may have been able to halt the Orlando nightclub shooting if they hadn’t been investigating her.

Remember, Democrats like Brown tend to blast law enforcement when they investigate Muslims who’ve had contact with Muslim extremists.

But, come on, Corrine, woman up. Take your medicine. If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

Obama’s Traveling To Dallas To Bridge Racial Divides Or Something

By William Teach July 12, 2016 – 6:51 am

Everyone who thinks this speech will be condescending, lecturing, and scolding, and tell us WE need to do better, plus, oh, yeah, pass more gun control laws so shootings in Democratic Party controlled cities with tons of gun control see less shootings, raise your hand

Obama, Traveling to Dallas, Seeks to Console and Reassure

President Obama will travel to Dallas on Tuesday to mourn the deaths of five white police officers gunned down by a black Army veteran, his latest effort to help bridge one of the starkest divides in American society.

He huddled with his speechwriters for much of Monday, hoping to find words that would not only console the officers’ grief-stricken families but also reassure a nation fearful that racial divisions are worsening after the Dallas slaughter and the killing days before of black men by the police in Louisiana and Minnesota.

It’s interesting how those racial divisions have gotten so much worse under Mr. Obama. And, really, having Obama speak has a high chance of simply adding fuel to the fire.

Mr. Obama approached the effort with the frustration of a man who has poured his heart and soul into similar speeches, only to later feel that nothing has changed and no one is listening. This will be the 11th time in his presidency that he has sought to comfort a city after a mass killing, and the second time in a month that such a killing grew out of bias.

Is this a front page news story or a thinly veiled opinion piece, because it sure reads like the latter. If anything, he should be frustrated mostly with Black people in Democratic Party run cities, who are killing themselves off willy nilly. Heck, five Blacks were shot by another Black in Baltimore during a candlelight vigil for another Black man killed yesterday.

Meanwhile, the family of Kate Steinle is still waiting for a call, being that their daughter/sister was murdered by an 5 time deported illegal alien convicted of multiple felonies, who shot her with a gun stolen from a federal agent in a sanctuary city.

Former President George W. Bush, who lives in Dallas, will also speak at Tuesday’s memorial, a rare event in his post-presidency. While in office, Mr. Bush faced his own set of problems with the nation’s racial divisions.

It will be an interesting contrast in speeches. Say what you will about GWB, the man can give a good speech that shows that he cares, that he understands, that he empathizes, much like Bill Clinton was always able to do. He attempts healing and to erase divisions. Mr. Obama stokes them from his lofty perch, looking down his nose at everyone for “failing him.”

In every speech on policing and race, Mr. Obama has tried to strike a balance, acknowledging bias in the criminal justice system but saying that it is not an indictment of all police officers.

Let’s be real: there may be biases in the criminal justice system, and with some police officers. But, we need to ask why that is. Might it have more to do with the conduct of the Black community than the system and the police? Might they be the cause? And, might the treatment of Blacks by the Democrat Party in their cities make the situation worse? Yes.

Hotcoldwetdry Causing Clouds To Shift Towards The Poles Or Something

By William Teach July 11, 2016 – 4:38 pm

Obviously, the only cause of this must be Mankind’s carbon pollution output. And it’s totally ominous

Global Cloud Coverage Shifting in Ominous Sign of Climate Change

When politicians talk of climate “uncertainty,” they’re often casting doubt on things that are well understood: Warming is happening, and humans are responsible.

When scientists talk about climate uncertainty, they’re usually talking about the clouds.

Actually, they’re usually talking about computer models. And doom

Some of that uncertainty was lifted Monday, and the news isn’t good. A new study inNature analyzes almost 30 years of weather observations to show that clouds and cloudiness are changing in the way scientists would expect in a warming world. Continental storm tracks—think jet stream—are shifting poleward, leaving populous subtropical latitudes uncovered. And the clouds that are forming more often aren’t the low-lying, reflective ones that cool the planet—they’re the huge cottony anvils that rise high in the sky, trapping more heat.

“Cloud changes most consistently predicted by global climate models are currently occurring in nature,” the authors write. “As cloud tops rise, their greenhouse effect becomes stronger.”

Yeah, it’s rather easy to say “we looked back, and our models totally agree with what happened.” Of course, none of this proves anthropogenic causation, that the changes are mostly or solely caused by Mankind.

The corrected data should help improve their confidence in cloud studies..

In other words, changed to match the preconception. Not. Science. Cult.

Thank Goodness, We Now Know How To Properly Indoctrinate Kids On ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach July 11, 2016 – 10:59 am

This is so they aren’t turned into terrified emotional wrecks

How to Teach Climate Change Without Terrifying Your Students

After a year in Bertha Vasquez’s class at George Washington Carver Middle School, 13-year-old Penny Richards says she reads climate news while she rides the bus to school.

Richards and 20-odd seventh graders sit transfixed as Vasquez tries to tease out the difference between the greenhouse effect and global warming by tossing out absurd half-truths. “Carbon dioxide’s completely harmless,” Vasquez says. Should we ban Coca Cola because of the carbonation?

Penny’s hand shoots up. “The greenhouse effect”—which keeps our planet warm enough for life to survive—”is completely natural,” she counters. “With mining fossil fuels, you’re taking something out of the ground and putting it into the atmosphere.”

These days, big questions about energy use and ecological balance punctuate Vasquez’s classes throughout the year. Her students meet climate scientists and calculate how many desalination plants it would take to turn rising seas into a sustainable source of fresh water (too many).

There are a couple layers here. First, schools seem to be wasting a lot of time on this kind of claptrap, working to indoctrinate fragile minds, and often making them emotional wrecks. What they are not teaching them are the basics of how to get a good job, how to think critically, understanding math, English, science.

But, there’s another layer here which occurred to me, other than the Hotcoldwetdry thing: can we really hold most Special Snowflakes responsible for being Special Snowflakes? It seems they are being taught to be annoying, entitled, special wackjobs by adults, including in schools. They are being taught this spreading awareness and we’re doomed stuff. Is it any wonder that so many kids and young adults are so nutty? It doesn’t just happen overnight. Adults, including teachers, are creating future adults who will be unemployable and unproductive in adult society. It’s child abuse.

Common Dreams Blames Dallas Police For Dallas Police Being Shot And Killed

By William Teach July 11, 2016 – 9:28 am

You just had to know that far left nutjobs would blame the police. But, really, one has to wonder how widespread this thought is amongst lefties/Progressives

Dallas Police Shooting: Blowback from Impunity and Structural Racism

Five police officers in Dallas are dead after a shooting, which took place toward the end of a peaceful demonstration on July 7. The protest was a response to the gut-wrenching acts of police violence, which killed Philando Castile in Minneapolis and Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge.

A suspect, according to Dallas Police Chief David Brown, is also dead. Twenty-five year-old Micah Johnson was cornered by police for hours until police sent in a “bomb robot” and detonated an explosive that killed Johnson.

Brown claimed during a press briefing on July 8 that Johnson was “upset about the recent police shootings.” He was “upset about white people,” and he wanted to “kill white people, especially white officers.” He informed the police he was not with any particular groups and said he “acted alone.” He also spoke about improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as if they had been placed around the city. (snip)

It is impossible to learn the right lessons about this moment if we do not consider how Johnson probably believed he was standing up for black Americans.

This comes to us from uber-white Kevin Gosztola. Surprise! But, hey, on the bright side, he isn’t buying into gun control

Moreover, a proposal to focus on gun control will not resolve the tension if it only results in taking guns away from people, who might resort to violence against police. That may satisfy the goal of protecting police lives, however, it will not guarantee that there is peace and justice without riots or other massive acts of violence in response to police brutality in the future.

Got that? He doesn’t want gun control because this would take guns away from Black people so they can shoot police officers.

Like the blowback against American superpower, which brought about the September 11th attacks, there will continue to be blowback against police so long as officers in departments throughout the country keep engaging in horrific acts of violence and oppression against minority communities.

A typical Democrat position, America got what it deserved on 9/11, and now, police officers are getting what they deserve.

A Brutal Preference Poll For Trump

By William Teach July 11, 2016 – 7:06 am

Things like this are rather ominous, but not unexpected with this candidate

While Trump has done better in a few metrics, many of them are very bad

Men Overall

McCain D+1
Romney R+10
Trump R+6

Women

McCain D+15
Romney D+14
Trump D+24

Trump is doing worse among the 19-29 crowd. Worse among women 18-49. Worse among women 50+. Worse among married and unmarried women. For education, worse among postdoc and college grad.

For those making $100,000+

McCain R+10
Romney R+8
Trump D+8

Among moderate/liberal Republicans, though

McCain R+57
Romney R+68
Trump R+72

On the bright side, from the accompanying article, we find

Overall satisfaction with the choice of candidates is at its lowest point in two decades. Currently, fewer than half of registered voters in both parties – 43% of Democrats and 40% of Republicans – say they are satisfied with their choices for president.

Roughly four-in-ten voters (41%) say it is difficult to choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton because neither would make a good president – as high as at any point since 2000. And just 11% say the choice is difficult because either would make a good chief executive, the lowest percentage during this period.

On the bright side, more registered voters find the campaigns interesting. Probably because they are not focused on issues that matter (only 27% say focused on issues) and are more like watching daytime trash shows.

In another sign of voter discontent, large numbers of the supporters of both Trump and Clinton view their choice as more of a vote against the opposing candidate than an expression of support for their candidate. More than half of Trump supporters (55%) view their vote more as a vote against Clinton, while just 41% view it more as a vote for Trump.

Clinton’s supporters are divided – 48% view their vote more as a vote for their own candidate, while 50% say it is more a vote against Trump.

Can we just start over?
