Washington Post Very Concerned That Trump’s Rhetoric Whips Up Violence

By William Teach August 22, 2015 – 7:35 am

They have exactly one example, but, hey, they must do what they can to bash Trump and protect illegal aliens. Interestingly, the Editorial Board is just fine blaming Trump, and by extension, his supporters, for this, but fails to hold Islam responsible for the numerous and constant attacks by Islamic jihadis. I’m also waiting with baited breath for the WPEB to blame Blacks for all the violence in their own neighborhoods, backed by Democratic party anti-police policies

Mr. Trump’s immigrant-bashing rhetoric breeds violence

DONALD TRUMP’S rapidly expanding catalogue of bombast is already a weighty tome, and it’s a fool’s errand to take each of his utterances seriously. Still, his loathsome comment on Wednesday, in which he excused violence against a Hispanic man in Boston as “passionate” acts of “people who are following me,” taps into a dark vein in American history and merits special attention.

In the Boston incident, two brothers were charged with using a metal pole to assault a 58-year-old Hispanic man. The man, who was homeless, was left with a broken nose and other injuries to his face, arms and chest. “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” one of the brothers, Scott Leader, told police, the Boston Globe reported.

Of course, Trump never once called for violence against illegals. BTW, it wasn’t Trump who released vast amounts of violent illegal aliens.

When Mr. Trump was told of the incident, in which the brothers also are alleged to have urinated on the man before beating him, he said the following: “It would be a shame. . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”

They are passionate. They are tired of the status quo. They are tired of politicians in it for their own benefit. They are also not the ones who killed a woman on a pier in San Francisco. That would be an illegal alien.

Mr. Trump, under a barrage of criticism, took more than a day to retreat from his original statement, finally tweeting that he “would never condone violence” and “we must treat each other with respect.” This from the man who slandered undocumented immigrants as “rapists” and suggested Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly had asked him tough questions because she was menstruating.

The menstruating thing has already been shot down, but, hey, newspapers are not places of facts. As far as rapists go, how about this one? And this one? I could continue listing case after case.

Mr. Trump’s immigrant-bashing rhetoric is intended to galvanize political anger and win Republican primaries, not incite a lynch mob. The trouble is that his contempt-filled hyperbole appeals not to rational discourse but to passions — passions that can and do get out of hand.

Of course, Trump is not bashing immigrants, but illegal aliens. To Leftists, they are one and the same, as they have no respect for the rule of law. But, by their own standards, the Democratic Party, and, hey, the Washington Post, bear responsibility for any attacks on police officers, who have been bashed.

What this really all shows is that the WPEB is taking Trump’s candidacy seriously, knowing that he is a threat to Hillary or whichever Democrat wins the primary in the race for the White House. Funny thing is, the more Trump is attacked by Democrats, the liberal media, and even the GOP Establishment, the more ground he gains.

Naomi Klein: “Climate Change” Is Making Racism Worse Or Something

By William Teach August 21, 2015 – 3:42 pm

Naomi Klein is on record as telling the truth on one of the main goals of the Cult Of Climastrology: completely changing the economic systems in the world to far left Progressive ones, though, she doesn’t seem to mind capitalism that much when it comes to selling her own books. But, what of racism?

(National Review) According to social activist and best-selling author Naomi Klein, climate change isn’t just destroying our planet — it’s making racism worse, too.

“You see that in Australia where the treatment of migrants is a profound moral crisis,” she said, according to a piece published in The Guardian.

“It’s clear that as sea levels rise that this mean streak and open racism is going to become more extreme – climate change is an accelerant to all those other issues,” she continued.

Uh huh. This line of thought bat guano insane talking points links illegal immigration with “climate change”. Warmists love linking real issues with “climate change”.

Klein is very much against the use of fossil fuels, especially coal and oil. Good thing she isn’t taking a fossil fueled flight to Australia, making her part of the problem

Klein, who is heading to Australia for a series of public events, said the level of inaction on climate change in Australia was only matched by her native Canada.

Oops.

Obama Says “We’re” Going To Keep Pressing Iran Or Something

By William Teach August 21, 2015 – 10:15 am

Apparently, we’re going to keep pressing them to make Obama give them more stuff

(NY Times) In his most comprehensive effort to assure wavering Democrats, President Obama wrote in a letter to Congress that the United States would unilaterally maintain economic pressure and deploy military options if needed to deter Iranian aggression, both during and beyond the proposed nuclear accord.

The Aug. 19 letter, obtained by The New York Times, is addressed to Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, but is also aimed at other Democrats with concerns about the deal. For Mr. Obama, it reflects steps the administration could take outside the agreement. The president has repeatedly said that the deal reached by Iran and six world powers cannot be changed.

In other words, this lying crap – weasel is attempting to sway some Democrats with tough talk after he’s already given away the house. He’s even trotting out that military options are still on the table, after taking them off himself.

And, the use of we and we’re within his letter is, essentially, Obama understanding that the fallout is the next president’s problem.

Oh, Noes, July Was The Hottest July In 4.5 Billion Years!!!!!!

By William Teach August 21, 2015 – 7:43 am

We’re doomed, doomed I tell you, all because you, dear reader, refused to allow Government to regulate your entire life

(USA Today) July was the hottest month worldwide since records began being kept in 1880, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced Thursday.

The temperature in July, when averaged for all locations around the planet, was 61.86 degrees, topping the previous hottest months of July 1998 and July 2010. (snip)

This meshes with data from NASA and the Japan Meteorological Administration released earlier this week. NASA said temperatures in July 2015 beat the previous record in July 2011 by .036 degrees.

I don’t know about you, but that .036F suddenly makes me sweat profusely. It makes it too hot to golf, and turns swimming pools into hot tubs!

Poor Eric. He’s roundly abused, as pointed out at Twitchy.

None of this proves mostly/solely anthropogenic causation, just something that happens during a Holocene warm period, as records show.

Anyhow, regarding that doomy warmth

(Jo Nova) NOAA has a press release out being picked up around the world. For example, the DailyMail, UK, is saying July was the hottest month since records began in 1880 as heatwaves swept the Earth’s countries and oceans. Other silly tabloids have headlines about this being the hottest July in 4,000 years, as if we have even the remotest idea what the average July global temperature was in the days of Plato.

Better data shows July this year is the hottest since way back in… 2014. It’s not 4,000 years, not 135 years, it’s the hottest July since the last one.

We only have 30 years of good climate data: the satellites tell us the pause is real, and last month’s summer temperatures is not a record anything. According to the UAH and RSS global satellites, lower troposphere averages for July 2014 were 0.30C and 0.34C, compared to July 2015 of 0.28C. Even, June 2015 was hotter (UAH, 0.35C; RSS, 0.39C).
July 2015 is not even the hottest month since June.

In other words, what we’re seeing is more over-wrought hysteria, meant to scare people, and journalists aren’t even bothering with research. Just parroting press releases. And none of it proves anthropogenic causation.

Nor do any of the journalists wonder why members of the Cult of Climastrology mostly refuse to give up their own big carbon footprints.

Baltimore Now Has More Homicides Than NYC

By William Teach August 21, 2015 – 7:02 am

Congratulations, Democratic Party run city Baltimore and mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake! Heck of a job there, SRB, what with all that giving “those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.”

Baltimore has surpassed New York City in homicides

Baltimore has surpassed New York City for homicides this year.

A New York Police spokeswoman said the city had seen 208 homicides as of Wednesday. Baltimore recorded its 212th homicide Wednesday night.

It’s a seemingly impossible milestone — New York has more than 8.4 million people, Baltimore just 620,000.

NYC has over 13 times the population of Baltimore, yet, fewer homicides. And a goodly chunk of those Baltimore homicides have come since the “unrest” in April. And, the majority of those killed are Black, and the suspects are Black. Why so little concern from the #BlackLivesMatter crew?

With months to go, 2015 now more deadly in Baltimore than all of last year

…..

It was the city’s 213th homicide this year, which exceeds last year’s total of 211.

“Ever since that riot, everything has gone downhill,” said Wesley Wilson, 48, as he looked on at the crime scene. He passes through the area every day to visit his neighborhood bar, he said, adding that it is typically a quiet area.

City crime has surged since the April riots that followed the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who sustained a spinal injury while in police custody.

The big number is 353, the peak of homicides in 1993.

Also Thursday, a 20-year-old man was shot in the head in the Remington neighborhood and critically wounded. Police said he was standing in the 2700 block of Huntingdon Ave. when he got into an argument with another man, who shot him in the “extreme upper body” and fled westbound on West 27th Street.

Residents said they have repeatedly complained to police about an increase in drug dealing in the area.

Well, when you throw the entire police department (in Democratic Party run Baltimore) under the bus and say you don’t want them in your neighborhoods, this is what you get.

Obviously, this is having no effect on the commerce of Baltimore, right?

Baltimore’s tourism industry took a hit after the rioting and unrest in April, with hotels reporting a significant drop in business since then, officials said Wednesday.

Overall, hotel room bookings were down nearly 9 percent for the fiscal year ending June 30 despite the major economic boon of the Star-Spangled Spectacular last September.

The figures were released Wednesday by the tourism organization Visit Baltimore at its annual meeting. Tom Noonan, the group’s president, and two hoteliers said they did not expect bookings to return to pre-unrest levels for months.

“Our hotels are down 5 to 10 percent depending on the hotel in the area, and if you look at our museums and our attractions and our restaurants, I think they’re taking it even a little harder than our hotels are,” Noonan said.

Gee, I wonder why people would want to avoid Baltimore?

California’s Green Hysteria Fails To Produce Jobs Nor Save Energy

By William Teach August 20, 2015 – 5:38 pm

Hey, Californian’s voted for this idiocy

(Wall Street Journal) How many workers does it take to change an incandescent light bulb in California? Two. One to install its energy-efficient replacement, and another to ensure the job complies with government regulations. Behold Tom Steyer’s green jobs stimulus, which a new report from the Associated Press shows has been a colossal failure even by its proponents’ standards.

In 2012 the hedge-fund billionaire bankrolled a California ballot initiative (Prop. 39) hitting up corporations to finance green construction jobs. The referendum changed the way many corporations that do business across state lines calculate their tax liability. Half of the new revenues were to be earmarked for “clean energy” (e.g., LED and solar panel installations) with the rest flowing into Sacramento’s general fund for the politicians to spend.

Mr. Steyer and friends claimed the initiative would raise more than $500 million annually for green projects and create tens of thousands of jobs. Neither dream has come true. According to AP, the initiative’s clean-energy fund has raised $973 million over the past three years—about a third less than projections because companies have responded by seeking to minimize their tax liabilities.

And where is most of the money going?

Funding recipients have frittered away millions completing paperwork—energy surveys, audits, data analytics—to meet California Energy Commission’s guidelines, which require $1.05 of energy savings for every dollar spent. Schools have spent more than half of the $297 million that they’ve received on consultants and auditors. As if California’s regulatory compliance industry needed more work.

It was supposed to create 11,000 jobs a year. Instead, it created 1,700 in 3 years. From the AP article

There’s no exact way to track how corporations reacted to the tax code change, but it’s likely most companies adapted to minimize their tax burdens, nonpartisan legislative analyst Ken Kapphahn said. He also said the change applies to a very small number of corporations.

A massive tax “loophole” was supposed to be closed. Instead, shockingly, business adapted. Amazing, isn’t it? In Liberal World, they expect things to stay the same, that nothing will change. Many of the companies adapted right to different states, costing California tax revenue.

Neither the Energy Commission nor Tim Rainey, director of the California Workforce Investment Board, could identify the types of jobs created by Proposition 39 projects. They said that information would be available when the oversight board meets for the first time, likely in October or November.

The board has yet to meet because “not enough data has been collected for the nine-member oversight board…to meet.” A massive new government regulation was implemented, one which has real world consequences to citizens, and the board has yet to meet. And, as usual, the plan is failing.

Unshockingly, Tom Steyer is set to reap a big monetary reward for laws like California’s.

Obama Works Hard To Destroy Coal – George Soros Buys Coal For A Pittance

By William Teach August 20, 2015 – 10:41 am

Say, I wonder if Joe Romm’s Climate Progress, published at Think Progress, which is under the banner of the Center For American Progress, which receives vast sums from George Soros, will call out Soros (via Evil Blogger Lady’s twitter feed)

From the “event”

Billionaire investor George Soros has opened new equity stakes in Peabody Energy Corp. and Arch Coal Inc., the country’s top two coal producers, according to a Form 13F-HR filed Aug. 14.

Soros acquired more than 1 million shares of Peabody and 553,200 shares of Arch in the second quarter, according to the filing. He reported no other coal holdings in the period.

Soros is a big supporter of all the things that the Cult of Climastrology wants to enact. Yet, he invests big time in coal. Has anyone told Obama yet?

Confirmed: Hillary Used Her Own Personal Blackberry During Time As Secretary Of State

By William Teach August 20, 2015 – 8:05 am

Hillary Clinton’s email problems just keep getting worse and worse. The article opens up with a discussion of the Blackberry devices issued to and used by Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin not being able to be found, and the State Dept thinking that they were destroyed or removed from their control. Then we get to

(The Hill) In the same court filing, the State Department confirmed its previous claim that Clinton used a personal BlackBerry during her time in office that was not issued by the federal government.

The State Department “does not believe that any personal computing device was issued by the department to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and has not located any such device at the department,” Macmanus wrote.

As noted at CBS News

“Anytime you’re bringing your own equipment and using it for work purposes, it’s not as secure as something that’s actually issued by the company,” CNET senior editor Dan Ackerman explained. “Because they take those laptops, for example, and they pre-configure them, they put their own software on them, tracking software, update software, and they distribute them.”

That raises the question, how secure were her personal devices, like her BlackBerry, since they weren’t issued by the State Department?

Why use her own Blackberry? The only logical reason is because State wouldn’t issue a Blackberry to hook up to her home-brew private server. It sounds like there needs to be a few subpoenas to IT and HR people at State, to see if any warned against this practice.

“But whether it was a personal account or a government account, I did not send classified material and I did not receive any material that was marked or designated classified, which is the way you know whether something is,” Clinton said Tuesday.

Is that even possible? It’s not even within the realm of possibility that she used her email account to only send personal stuff, like recipes and cat pictures. People would certainly send her classified information. Not only that, but there would be standard government business, all sent and received on a wholly unsecured server linked to an unsecured Blackberry.

Are we supposed to now trust Hillary with the secret mechanisms of the entire federal Executive Office? Here’s her communications director

“I’ve encountered this a lot in politics where people think that the answer is a lot more complicated than it really is,” Jennifer Palmieri told With All Due Respect co-host John Heilemann in an interview on Wednesday. “She’s answered this many times and she did have her own e-mail account. Others had done it before and it was just more convenient and she kept it like that, and she didn’t really—that’s the thing, she didn’t really think it through.”

That’s a hell of an endorsement for Hillary having the codes to the U.S. nuclear forces, eh?
