Post-Hillary Email Decision, Trump Takes On….Frozen

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

The Hillary email scandal decision was laid out perfectly by FBI Director James Comey for Donald Trump to use to beat Hillary. While Comey said he would not recommend charges, he spent three-fourths of his televised comment saying exactly how she did wrong and broke the law. Trump could have pounded Hillary using those comments, and continued to beat on how the system is rigged. At the NY Times, one letter writer noted

Forget the election. Forget conservatives versus liberals. Forget the theater that is Trump versus Clinton. What saddens and disgusts me about the decision not to take some formal disciplinary action against Hillary Clinton for her blatant disregard for the rules that are meant to protect our country and its citizens is the duplicity of it all.

What this says is that there is one set of laws for people in power, like the Clintons, and another set for us “rank and file” citizens. Many federal employees have been disciplined and prosecuted for less negligence with classified material than Mrs. Clinton exhibited.

Our country should mourn this decision, not based on our political stripes, but because it signals a very public decree that we are no longer equal in the eyes of the law.

People have been charged with much less. And there does seem to be a double standard on how some people are treated in the legal system. So, Trump could have expounded on this. But, after a brief statement and video, here’s where Trump is going

Yup. Frozen

(Yahoo) Trump was seemingly arguing that the Disney star showed that his latest Twitter controversy was overblown and that the image was, as he said in a speech Wednesday, “just a star.” On Saturday, Trump tweeted an image of Hillary Clinton, a pile of money and the six-pointed star, which is a symbol of Judaism. The text inside the star read: “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!”

The tweet was criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for its anti-Semitic overtones. Trump deleted the tweet within hours and replaced the star with a red circle.

Though the image reportedly originated with an anti-Semitic Twitter account and was featured on a white nationalist site, Trump later said the star he used was a “Sheriff’s Star” or a “plain star” — and not the Star of David.

He’s also yammering about this in speeches. And, he yammered about Saddam Hussein being good at killing terrorists. If, by terrorists, Trump means Saddam enemies, like the Kurds, because Saddam sponsored terrorists to go blow themselves up in Israel, allowed terrorist training camps inside the border, and even had hardcore Al Qaeda member Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as a guest.

The Lonely Conservative is constantly wondering if Trump really wants to win. Blowing off tailor made issues for stupid things sure doesn’t help.

Surprise: Antarctic Sea Expansion Driven By Natural Variability

By William Teach July 6, 2016 – 5:59 pm

It’s an interesting study, one in which they were rather shocked that the Antarctic was expanding in contradiction of all the man-caused global warming. It’s interesting how scientists seem to find that cooling is natural, warming is only anthropogenic

(Cosmos)  It’s a paradox that has scientists stumped – why, in a warming world with warming oceans, is Antarctica’s sea ice spreading and thickening each year?

Climate scientists from the US and Australia found expanding sea ice in recent years was mostly caused by natural variations in sea surface temperatures, which swamped the relatively small amount of warming due to greenhouse gases.

They discuss things like the IPO

Gerald Meehr from the National Centre for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, US and colleagues examined 262 climate models – not looking for human effects, but natural variation.

Indeed, they found rising sea temperatures due to global warming were swamped by the interdecadal pacific oscillation, or IPO – naturally fluctuating atmospheric pressure that causes warms or cools sea surfaces over the entire Pacific Basin.

Got all that? Nature is overriding what you evil people who drive fossil fueled vehicles and refuse to give up eating meat has caused. But, fortunately, we are soon doomed, because the IPO is changing.

Or, it could be that nature is just doing what nature does. Like it has always done.

Kenya’s Working Hard To Drive Companies Out Of The Country Over ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach July 6, 2016 – 11:34 am

Kenya is basically a typical 3rd World Shithole developing nation, with a poor economy and low economic freedom. There are lots of concerns over property rights and corruption. They have high inflation and high unemployment. On the plus side, their GDP is much better than Obama’s. And they’re totally serious about this whole ‘climate change’ thing

(AllAfrica) Climate change lawsuits are gaining momentum as citizens are increasingly turning to domestic courts to hold governments and corporations accountable for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With the passing of its 2016 Climate Change Act, Kenya is among the few countries globally to directly regulate on climate change, signaling strong political will to pursue low-emission development.

The act allows citizens to sue private and public entities that frustrate efforts to reduce the impacts of climate change.

The law establishes the National Climate Change Council, which has the power to impose climate change obligations on private establishments, including regulations on the nature and procedure for reporting on performance.

The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), on behalf of the council, is charged with monitoring, investigating and reporting on compliance. An organisation that fails to comply may incur a fine of up to a million Kenyan shillings ($9,900) and officers risk five years imprisonment if they withhold or gives false information to NEMA.

All this will do is drive business out of the country and into the arms of countries that aren’t punishing people for wanting to live in the 21st Century. I’m sure Warmists in 1st World nations are applauding these measures, and want to implement them in their own countries. As long as it doesn’t effect them personally.

Thank Goodness, We Now Have “Jason Bourne’s” Ideas On Gun Control

By William Teach July 6, 2016 – 8:28 am

Alternate headline: guy who uses guns quite a bit in his movies calls for gun confiscation”

(The Blaze) Action movie actor Matt Damon spent his Fourth of July weekend in Australia, where he spoke to local media about the latest “Jason Bourne” film, as well as his views on gun control.

The “Bourne” franchise star expressed his desire that the United States would conduct a massive confiscation of firearms akin to the 1996 gun grab carried out by the Australian government.

“You guys did it here in one fell swoop, and I wish that could happen in my country, but it’s such a personal issue for people that we cannot talk about it sensibly,” Damon said during a promotional engagement in Sydney.

Well, obviously, talking sensibly requires confiscation of all privately owned guns. This is very much the Hollywood liberal view, and the view of liberals generally. If they really cared, they’d stop using guns in movies. As Stephen Kruiser notes

As we proceed in this election year, expect the American leftists to become less coy about their intentions, especially now that their Queen is getting a pass from the FBI on her email “confusion.”

Their “wink-wink, nudge-nudge” approach to gun laws thus far has featured repeated proclamations that they really are coming for our guns. They just want “sensible” gun reform, right?

They’re starting to get bolder. Consider this letter to The Tribune (a California paper)

In order to bring under control this insupportable rash of gun violence here in the U.S., the federal government should inaugurate the following three measures:

â–ª First, make it unlawful to own or operate a military, multishot-style weapon.

▪ Next, stop the manufacturing of these weapons except for the military — use rifles for target practice or hunting. Some handguns would be acceptable in accordance with current gun safety measures.

▪ Finally, improve the system that tracks students from the time they enter school until they graduate at the end of 12 or 14 years. This will help keep track of students’ emotional status, as well as their educational progress.

I’m not quite sure what the meaning of that last one is in regards to guns, but, hey, OK, more governmental tracking of our lives. Notice the switch, which is stating that virtually all guns should be banned, including handguns, if they can fire more than 1 shot. Does the writer think that all weapons are automatic? Those are already illegal. Or, is he thinking that guns should only be allowed to fire one shot before reloading? Regardless, this is a typical leftist call for gun confiscation and banning.

How well is all this banning and rules and regs working?

Chicago, Illnois (dubbed Chiraq by Spike Lee) has some of the strictest gun control laws in America. They have an updated “assault weapons” ban, and they even tried passing a complete ban on handguns. They’ve done everything they can to attack the Second Amendment rights of city residents. (I call it Mogadishu on Lake Michigan)

And yet 64 people were shot over the Independence Day weekend, including three children. Four people shot, were killed. Chicago police chief Eddie Johnson says “progress” is being made, yet 64 is the exact same number of people shot over Memorial Day weekend, with six killed.

And what happens when Leftists call for gun control?

(The Libertarian Republic) FBI background checks (a prerequisite for most gun purchases in the US) surged in June to an all-time high for the early summer. The Bureau reports that over 2.1 million checks were performed on people seeking to purchase guns last month; up from 1.5 million from the same time in 2015. This month’s record is the latest in a long line of monthly record breaking sales stretching back 14 months to May of 2015. At it’s current pace, 2016 will achieve the highest estimated number of guns sold in America, annually, since the tracking system was first put into place in 1998.

These record breaking sales come in the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack and the subsequent efforts by Democrats in Congress to push for additional gun control legislation. This is not a new phenomenon. In early 2016,The New York Times asked the question, “What happens after calls for new gun restrictions?” and found the answer to be: “Sales go up.” The following chart demonstrates how such events have caused large spikes in the volume of background checks and gun sales in the immediate aftermath.

Democrats make great gun sales people.

Trump Goes On The Attack Against Hillary And Her Emails

By William Teach July 6, 2016 – 7:55 am

FBI Director James Comey laid out the case that Hillary was not only negligent with her email server, but broke the law. He also said she was “extremely careless”, among other descriptions of what she did. Comey just decided to not recommend prosecution for someone who broke the law. Well, there’s really nothing we can do about this, as out nation becomes a Banana Republic, except politically. Namely, throwing the bums out.

Donald Trump took his time getting his response out, if you think six hours is too slow. He dropped two tweets post-announcement. Surrogate Sarah Palin did her insane attacking Republicans schtick. But, then, Team Trump came out with this video (via Hot Air)

Powerful, and one he should use again and again and again, and should develop it a bit further for use on TV.

He further had this statement

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON HILLARY CLINTON’S BAD JUDGMENT AND THE RIGGED SYSTEM

The FBI Director laid out today a detailed case of how Hillary Clinton compromised the safety of the American people by storing highly classified information on a private email server with no security. He confirmed that her email could easily have been hacked by hostile actors, and confirmed that those she emailed with were hacked. (snip)

But because of our rigged system that holds the American people to one standard and people like Hillary Clinton to another, it does not look like she will be facing the criminal charges that she deserves. (snip)

Folks – the system is rigged. The normal punishment, in this case, would include losing authority to handle classified information, and that too disqualifies Hillary Clinton from being President.

The final jury will be the American people, and they will issue the verdict on her corruption, incompetence, and bad judgment on November 8th.

Yes, it will be. Will Trump take advantage of this correctly, and use it to woo people to his side, if not to vote for him, to vote against Hillary by checking Trump’s name on the ballot? Will he woo all those Republicans and Conservatives who voted for someone other than Trump during the primaries? We’ll see. Based on his previous patterns, he won’t stop attacking over this. But, we’ll see.

Oh, and even left leaning Chris Cillizza at left leaning Washington Post thinks Hillary did very bad things.

Raving Wackjob Uses FBI Decision On Hillary To Assault RATs

By William Teach July 5, 2016 – 4:32 pm

I’m not going to delve to deep into FBI Director James Comey’s decision to not even bother referring Hillary, and her underlings, to a federal grand jury: more than a few have discussed this.

I will say, briefly, that it highlights a separate standard of law for Certain People, and, come on, liberals, even you know she broke the law, and in your heart of hearts, you know if she was a Republican you’d be livid. You talk all the time about justice for the little guy, that some are treated differently when they’re big wigs. Does it get anymore different? You’d be in jail if you did a thousandth of what she and her people did.

Anyhow, there’s this

https://twitter.com/AIIAmericanGirI/status/750397696981102592

From the link (which uses less than flattering photos of Nutty Palin

A deranged Sarah Palin has just responded to the FBI Director’s statement on Hillary Clinton by calling the GOP #NeverTrump movement a bunch of traitors.

Literally, this is how her Facebook post begins:

GOP ‪#‎NEVERTRUMP‬ TRAITORS – HILLARY DELIGHTS IN YOU, FOR SHE CAN’T WIN WITHOUT YOU

How despicable! To call #NeverTrumpers traitors just because they won’t support a horrible candidate like Trump is absolutely ridiculous.

Here’s her tweet on it

She goes on, after briefly referring to the Hillary issue in her typical manner, to assault people who are not supporting Trump, calling them RATs (Republicans Against Trump) again. Right Scoop calls her despicable and a putz. You probably know my opinion on her, which I’ve held since November 2011. She’s certainly not helping the Trump cause. This issue of Hillary being let off scott free was tailor made for Team Trump, and Donald himself, to use it to woo those on the Right, including #NeverTrump, to, if not jump on the Trump train, at least be willing to vote against Hillary, checking the box for Trump, much as liberals did in 2004, when they checked the box for Kerry as a vote against Bush.

Trump could have said “I’m going to clean house if you elect me. No more of this. There is one rule of law for all.”

But, no, Trumpites like Palin (and I saw plenty others on Twitter denigrating non-Trump supporters) have to go and be their raving wackjob selves and drive people away, people he needs if he wants to get enough electoral college votes.

NY Daily News: July 4th Is The Perfect Time To….Bash Trump

By William Teach July 5, 2016 – 10:21 am

And in doing so, bash the tens of millions of Americans who support many Trump ideals, if not Trump himself. Liberals have a hard time showing actual patriotism

The Founders & the fraud

We hold this truth to be self-evident on the nation’s 240th birthday: In character and vision, Donald Trump clashes with the timeless wisdom of America’s Founding Fathers.

Trump , the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, vows to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, choke off legal immigration and bar all refugees from war-torn Syria. His gut called for closing the door to all Muslims.

George Washington wrote:

“The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respected Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations and Religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges.”

Of course, Washington was talking about people coming to the national legally, people who would then become part of our great melting pot (a phrase coined much later). We are a generous nation. What we do not want are people coming to our shores illegally or overstaying their visas. Nor do we want the illegals and legals to come here and demand that we change for them, that they get to practice their own laws and we must conform to their laws and mores.

Trump rouses supporters by railing that powerful forces have crippled America while proclaiming that he alone can restore the nation’s lost glory: “I will give you everything. I will give you what you’ve been looking for 50 years. I am the only one.”

Of course, Bernie and Hillary, along with so much of the Democratic Party, do the same, railing against Wall Street, the moneyed class, industry, and so forth.

Trump , in a combination that would drive the U.S. far deeper into debt, pledges to dramatically hike spending on the military, Social Security and Medicare while slashing taxes by huge sums.

Jefferson wrote:

“The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”

Say what? Democrats plan to jack up spending to unbelievable levels, and care little about imbalances. Of course, they do want to tax the hell out of the middle class, so there is that. Here’s the funniest, though

Trump struts, preens, beats his chest and, with unshakable faith that he is right, proclaims mightiness from bedroom to the boardroom, while insulting and demeaning those who are different from him, those who are disabled, those who disagree with his policies, and, most of all, those who question his greatness.

Washington wrote :

“I now make it my earnest prayer, that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection . . . and that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do Justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the Characteristicks of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation.”

Happy birthday, America, we hope and pray.

Have they not been watching that last 7+ years of Obama?

PS: still not a Trump fan.

Al Gore Calls Himself The Jackie Robinson Of ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

By William Teach July 5, 2016 – 7:20 am

Though, I can’t find any articles about Jackie Robinson making a ton of money off being a hypocrite in regards to Black people. Can you?

(Washington Examiner) As a man on a “great social mission,” former Vice President Al Gore says he feels like baseball trailblazer Jackie Robinson, the messenger of integration who was often ridiculed and worse when he hit the bases as the first black to play professional ball.

“There is a time-honored tradition of people who strongly disagree with a message and take it out on the messenger, and opponents of integration had a personal animus for Jackie Robinson. Opponents of all the great social movements would take out after the advocates that were most effective in asking people to change,” Gore told his one-time employer, Nashville’s Tennessean newspaper.

“As a result, I don’t take it personally when the criticism comes at me. I believe so passionately in this mission, if you will. The word ‘mission’ might sound a little grandiose, but that’s kind of what it feels like to me. Honestly, it is a joy and a privilege to have work that justifies pouring every ounce of energy you can pour into it. That is a blessing that is to be cherished,” he added in an interview to discuss the 10th anniversary of his movie and book, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

It’s also surely a joy to start a TV station on Hotcoldwetdry that failed spectacularly, then sell it for a huge profit to a company utterly propped up by fossil fuels, allowing Gore to continue his big carbon footprint lifestyle of McMansions and flying private jets.

But, hey, he’s just like Jackie Robinson! Of course, Jackie was fighting an actual problem, systemic racism. Gore’s fighting made up issue.

“We’re still putting 110 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every day. And it’s adding up. The cumulative amount of heat energy trapped by all the man-made pollution up there is now equal to 400,000 Hiroshima-class (atomic) bombs going off every day.

Says the person with a huge carbon footprint, which seems the norm for the people who push this political issue the most.
