Target Stock Is Getting Hammered Since TG Bathrooms Policy Announced

By William Teach May 5, 2016 – 11:03 am

Despite the Federal government trying to force citizens to put up with gender confused people in women’s bathrooms, exposing women and girls to people who have the opposite gender plumbing, interfering with their privacy and well being, in the real world, corporate acceptance can have real world implications

(CNS News) In the wake of publicizing its policy to allow people to use the bathrooms and changing facilities that correspond with their gender identity, Target stock has dropped 4.2 percent in the past two weeks.

As CNSNews.com previously reported, the retail chain announced on its website on April 19 that they “welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.”

The opening price of Target stock dropped from $83.50 per share on April 19 to a closing price of $79.99 per share on May 3 – a 4.2 percent decline, the Daily Signal reported.

By April 28, when the stock had dropped down to $81.33 per share, the company’s stock market value was down $1.5 billion, according to Accuracy in Media.

That loss will be somewhere around $2.5 billion. And over 1.5 million have pledge to boycott Target, which is apparently taking the men’s and women’s bathroom signs off the doors at many locations.

But, hey, if liberals want their children exposed to perverts who will take advantage of these moronic policies, Target is the place for you.

Warmists Provide A Handy Dandy Map Of Where The Cult Of Climastrology Rules

By William Teach May 5, 2016 – 8:05 am

You now know which states to avoid, as their policies will increase you energy costs and cost of living

From the screed

After sweating through the second straight year that earned the title of hottest year on record, new research from the Center for American Progress Action Fund finds that 24 governors and attorneys general publicly deny the reality of climate change. It also gives a comprehensive summary of their records and public views on climate change and energy issues. The 21 governors publicly confirmed as climate deniers is an increase from previous years.

The public is way ahead of these state lawmakers — a recent poll found that 76 percent of Americans said they believed global climate change is occurring, including 59 percent of Republicans.

Of course, the problem is that the question doesn’t really encompass the reason behind it. I believe that it is happening. But, as I’ve noted time and again, the debate is not about warming, it is about causation.

What defined a denier? The researchers classified any lawmaker who has questioned or denied the scientific consensus behind human-caused climate change, individuals who answered climate questions with the “I’m not a scientist” dodge, those who claimed the climate is always changing, and individuals who questioned the extent to which human beings contribute to global climate change, as deniers.

How dare anyone question science!!!!! That’s not the way Science works, right? No one has ever challenged any scientific assertions, and they never ever should. Anyone who does should be locked in a tower or called a heretic and threatened with being burned at the stake.

Sanders Supporters Call Get #DropOutHillary Trending

By William Teach May 5, 2016 – 7:44 am

For all the consternation about a divided GOP, the Democrats aren’t exactly in a great place, either. The Bernie Sanders supporters are rather rabid, and totally uninterested in Hillary, for numerous reasons. Her Wall Street connections, her big money connections, her being less Leftist than Bernie, among others. So, what do they do?

(Mediaite) Hillary Clinton is ahead of Bernie Sanders in votes and pledged delegates, and the hopes of some liberals that the FBI will take her down are, um, ridiculous, so now they’re resorting to demanding she drop out because… because reasons.

#DropOutHillary is trending on Twitter as the people-powered revolution of the Sanders campaign continues its quest to overturn the will of Democratic voters, or at least just make it clear they can’t get behind her:

Here’s a few, with lots more at the link

Now, the notion of the FBI investigation is coming up big in Tweets from the Sanders supporters. It was also featured prominently at the Huffington Post, as H.A. Goodman says

Hillary Clinton Should Concede to Bernie Sanders Before The FBI Reveals Its Findings

Millions of Democrats are voting for a presidential candidate linked to an FBI criminal investigation. These voters either don’t know there’s been a year-long FBI investigation of Clinton’s emails, don’t care, or would vote for Clinton even she faced Espionage Act indictments. Potentially our next Commander in Chief will beinterviewed by the FBI soon, as will her top aides. This state of affairs would never take place in any other leading democracy, but American politics is unique. (snip)

In the best case scenario, Clinton doesn’t face indictments, but the FBI confirms that she jeopardized national security. Thus, Republicans would make even the best case scenario for Clinton’s campaign a major political liability. America isn’t a closed Democratic primary, and Clinton would be on the defensive during every televised debate against Trump.

The worst case, per Goodman, is that the FBI recommends indictment after Hillary is coronated as the Dem candidate, which would hand the election to Trump. The funny part here is that Sanders supporters are concerned less with Hillary hurting national security and breaking the law than using this to pimp Sanders.

Good News: Egyptian Intelligence Blames Tom & Jerry For Escalating Islamic Violence

By William Teach May 4, 2016 – 4:32 pm

Because why not?

(Daily Caller)  Egypt’s top intelligence official stated Tuesday that the 1940’s cartoon “Tom & Jerry” is to blame for the escalating violence in the Middle East, not radical Islamic terrorism.

“[Tom & Jerry] portrays violence in a funny manner,” Salah Abdel Sadeq said in a speech at “The Media and the Culture of Violence” conference at Cairo University. “It gives the impression that, yes, I can hit him, and I can blow him up with explosives. It becomes set in the viewer’s mind that this is natural”

Abdel Sadeq — who heads up Egypt’s State Information Service — further stated that violent video games also share part of the blame.

“Video games are spreading,” he noted. “it has become normal for a young man to sit for long hours playing video games, killing and spilling blood. He is happy and content with that.”

Yeah, I’m thinking it is more a case of a religion that has become more and more violent over the past 50 years. Not that they weren’t ultra violent when Mohamed was on the scene. And the violence is a direct result of what the Koran says.

Here’s my favorite

EEOC: It’s A Civil Rights Violation For Employers To Stop The Gender Confused From Using Whatever Bathroom They Want

By William Teach May 4, 2016 – 10:30 am

As Erik Erickson noted several times on gay marriage and other issues, you will be made to care. You will not have a choice. It will be shoved down your throats, including by government. Your rights to privacy? Pfft

(ABA Journal)  It’s a civil rights violation to deny transgender employees access to a bathroom that comports with their gender identity, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission stated in a fact sheet posted Monday.

The agency considers discrimination against transgender individuals to be sex discrimination, which is prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In a 2015 decision, the EEOC found that restricting transgender employees to single-user bathrooms was not an acceptable alternative for employers.

So, it’s not acceptable to offer a compromise, Everyone must be forced to comply with the problems of the tiny, tiny, tiny number of gender confused people out there. The mass majority must feel uncomfortable for the peccadilloes of others. What’s to stop someone with ill-intent from proclaiming they are TG that day, in order to use the opposite sex bathroom? Further, it’s interesting that Liberals proclaim they are the champions of women, yet will put them at risk for this idiocy.

North Carolina in March passed a law that requires transgender individuals to use public restrooms that match their biological gender, the Charlotte Observer reported. Private businesses and universities are not bound by the law.

Mississippi in April passed a similar law, according to the Washington Post, and the Observer reports that George, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia are considering transgender bathroom laws as well.

NC’s HB2 was in direct response to Charlotte forcing private businesses to cater to the gender confused. Liberals do not seem to like choice all that much, unless it is about aborting a baby.

Furthermore, it’s no wonder lawyers are interested in this: great material for lawsuits.

You will be made to care.

Virgin Islands Attorney General Persecutes 90 Private Groups Over ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach May 4, 2016 – 7:18 am

Remember back a few weeks ago when I mentioned that the Virgin Islands Attorney General, part of a group of other Democrat/leftist AGs assaulting Exxon Mobile and attempting to criminalize Wrongthink on ‘climate change’, was going after the Competitive Enterprise Institute. It’s actually much, much worse, but, first, remember this

If you recall former Vice President and global warming guru Al Gore and 16 Attorneys General, calling themselves the “AGs United for Clean Power”, announced at a press conference last week that they will criminalize climate change denial by corporations. This is meant to squelch dissent and free speech.

Over to the Washington Free Beacon

The attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands is targeting dozens of conservative and libertarian organizations in a racketeering lawsuit against climate change skeptics that has been widely described as an effort to silence political opponents.

In a subpoena issued in March, the office of USVI attorney general Claude Walker demanded from Exxon Mobil copies of communications between the oil company and 90 different political and policy organizations “and any other organizations engaged in research or advocacy concerning Climate Change or policies.”

The subpoena was part of a national, coordinated legal campaign by state attorneys general and left-wing advocacy groups to use the legal system against companies and organizations that disagree with and advocate against Democratic policies to address global climate change.

The existence of the subpoena was first reported by the Wall Street Journal in April. A newly released copy obtained by the Washington Free Beacon reveals the names of the organizations targeted in the effort, which had previously been redacted.

All this is an attempt to chill free speech, to persecute freedom of thought and association. It is the logical extension of the ‘climate change’ movement, though, which has long advocated prosecuting climate skeptics. That thought has become more mainstream amongst members of the Cult of Climastrology. I, along with a few other Skeptics, have been telling people for a long, long time that this whole thing was about Leftist politics, not science. It’s about Fascism/authoritarianism. It’s great to rebut the Warmists with fact filled science, but, never forgot, discount, marginalize, or minimize that this is all about political power, increased government, and controlling people and the private sector.

After Indiana Win, Trump Is The GOP Presidential Nominee

By William Teach May 4, 2016 – 6:46 am

Donal Trump won the Indiana primary easily, and Ted Cruz ended his campaign, seeing no path forward, and not wanting to play the contested convention route, saying it would be bad for the party. So, what now? Here’s Josh Barro

Donald Trump is going to be the Republican nominee for president, and this alarms ideological conservatives for several reasons:

1. They think he will lose badly to Hillary Clinton, perhaps so badly that Republicans lose control of both houses of Congress.

2. They are afraid that he will damage the brand of the Republican Party, making it harder to win future elections.

3. They believe that he lacks the temperament and character to serve as president.

These are all good reasons to be alarmed, but there is also a fourth reason for alarm that is perhaps the most alarming of all for conservatives: His nomination could signal the death of orthodox conservatism as one of the two main forces in American public policy, since he is running away with the nomination despite being exposed as a nonconservative.

It’s not just that he is a non-conservative: he is moderate Republican at best, one who holds many Democratic Party positions, and many of those are the ones held by Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Elizabeth Warren.

Trump has somehow found a way to throw away the ideologically extreme ideas that orthodox conservatives cared about while actually making the party less popular. His nomination is a recipe for conservatives to sell out and lose anyway.

I’ve asked a simple question numerous times: when does Trump talk about the Constitution? What is his position on the Constitution? You really do not find him discussing it much. One of his biggest comments on it had him saying that it was “set in stone“, then explaining how to work deals around it.

Trump has his good points, and he has his bad points. Who will Donald J. Trump be going forward? Will he be the guy who made a name for himself and took charge of the primary season by refusing to back down, and attacking back twice as hard? Or, will he moderate and go soft? The general election starts for Trump today. John Kasich is a non-factor. Which Trump will we see?

Will he attempt to reach out to the Cruz supporters, and supporters of the other primary season candidates? Will he attempt to heal the wounds of a nasty primary season? Will he attempt to offer an olive branch to the #NeverTrump folks? Or will he continue to attack Republicans, the people he pro-ports to represent? Will he have his supporters work to heal the wounds?

Victor Davis Hanson makes an interesting observation regarding the Trump supporters (via Maggie’s Farm)

Trump supporters are tired of hearing that black lives matter, while no one mentions that all lives matter. They are sick of seeing protestors wave the flag of the country they do not wish illegal aliens to be sent back to and trash the country they under no circumstances want them to leave. They don’t like getting a letter from an IRS that employs Lois Lerner — a letter that would be ignored with impunity by those who are here illegally, or who run the Clinton Foundation. They are tired of wealthy minorities claiming they are perpetual victims of ill-treatment at the hands of people who are less well off than they. They don’t like hearing from elites that huge trade deficits have little to do with loss of jobs or that cheating by our trade partners is just a passing glitch in free trade. They cannot stand lectures from those who make more money in an hour than they do in a year about their own bad habits or slothfulness.

They don’t know what the on-screen savants mean by a leg-tingle or a perfectly pressed pant leg or a first-class temperament or a president as god — and they don’t care to find out. They do not hate political correctness so much as one-sided political correctness, which gives a pass to some to say things that would get others fired or ruined. They don’t want to be lectured that their own plight is part of a larger, healthy creative destruction or a leaner, meaner competitiveness or an overdue restructuring — by those who are never destroyed, rendered noncompetitive, or restructured. And they don’t like to be talked down to by the experts who ran up $10 trillion in debt, ruined the health-care system, dismantled the military, and screwed up the Secret Service, the IRS, NASA, and the VA. Trump is their megaphone, not their solution. The Trump supporters have seen plenty of politicians with important agendas, but few with the zeal to push them through; at this late date, they would apparently prefer zeal without agendas to agendas without zeal.

Can a megaphone win? Can he lead? If Trump wins, and does the Leftist things we Conservatives said he would, who will take responsibility for this?

Good News! Solar Plane Takes Just 16 Hours To Fly From San Francisco To Phoenix!

By William Teach May 3, 2016 – 5:56 pm

It’s a triumph of Cult of Climastrology science!

(Reuters)  A solar-powered airplane midway through a historic bid to circle the globe completed the 10th leg of its journey on Monday, landing in Arizona after a 16-hour flight from California, the project team said.

The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived in Phoenix shortly before 9 p.m., following a flight from San Francisco that took it over the Mojave Desert.

The flight would have taken a conventional airplane just two hours, but the solar craft’s cruising speed, akin to that of a car, required pilots to take up meditation and hypnosis in training to stay alert for long periods.

It was totally historic! Hooray! Wait, what’s that you say? A very, very slow car?

Yeah, you could drive it in less time. Even with a few food and potty breaks, it would still take you less time. But, hey, I guess it beats walking (252 hours) or biking (67 hours). Google Maps doesn’t say how long covered wagon takes.
