Judge Denies Restart On Obama Amnesty

By William Teach April 8, 2015 – 7:11 am

The judge even uses Obama’s own words against Obama (via The Lonely Conservative)

(Washington Times) President Obama’s new deportation amnesty will remain halted, a federal judge in Texas ruled Tuesday night in an order that also delivered a judicial spanking to the president’s lawyers for misleading the court.

Judge Andrew S. Hanen, who first halted the amnesty in February, just two days before it was to take effect, said he’s even more convinced of his decision now, particularly after Mr. Obama earlier this year said he intends for his policies to supersede federal laws.

Judge Hanen pointed to Mr. Obama’s comments at a February town hall when the president warned immigration agents to adhere to his policies or else face “consequences.”

“In summary, the chief executive has ordered that the laws requiring removal of illegal immigrants that conflict with the 2014 DHS directive are not to be enforced, and that anyone who attempts to do so will be punished,” Judge Hanen wrote.

“This is not merely ineffective enforcement. This is total non-enforcement,” the judge continued, saying that Mr. Obama’s own descriptions of how he is carrying out his policies have hurt his case.

Unsurprisingly, the judge also pointed out that Obama’s DOJ lawyers lied in court

On Tuesday the judge not only refused to reconsider, but also said the administration misled him when it said no part of the amnesty had been implemented, and the lawyers bungled their attempt to try to repair the damage by filing an “advisory” with the judge early last month.

Since November, the administration had been granting a three-year amnesty to illegal immigrant Dreamers under the new policy. That’s a year longer than the two-year program Mr. Obama announced for the Dreamers in 2012.

Judge Hanen may also impose sanctions on the lawyers for misleading him. It’s nice to see that the rule of law actually means something.

Climastrology House Launches Health Initiative

By William Teach April 7, 2015 – 2:22 pm

At least Obama isn’t taking a long fossil fueled flight for the announcement

President Obama is launching an initiative Tuesday aimed at highlight the connections between climate change and public health, bringing both medical and data experts to the White House this week.

No need to go any further. This is yet another in a long line of Scary Stories told in order to cow the Leftist sheeple, most of who are too brain dead to question the reality of man induced Hotcoldwetdry.

Humorously, the most read WP story is headlined More scientists doubt salt is as bad for you as government says. Hmm.

Great Pause Hits 18 Years 4 Months

By William Teach April 7, 2015 – 9:27 am

Cue the Cult Of Climastrology excuses and avoidance. And something about the Navy. Here’s Christopher Monckton

Since December 1996 there has been no global warming at all (Fig. 1). This month’s RSS temperature – so far unaffected by the most persistent el Niño conditions of the present rather attenuated cycle – shows a new record length for the ever-Greater Pause: 18 years 4 months – and counting.

This result rather surprises me. I’d expected even a weak el Niño to have more effect that this, but it is always possible that the temperature increase that usually accompanies an el Niño will come through after a lag of four or five months. On the other hand, Roy Spencer, at his always-to-the-point blog (drroyspencer.com), says: “We are probably past the point of reaching a new peak temperature anomaly from the current El Niño, suggesting it was rather weak.” I shall defer to the expert, with pleasure. For if la Niña conditions begin to cool the oceans in time, there could be quite some lengthening of the Pause just in time for the Paris world-government summit in December.

Cue the screeching from Warmists about “cherry picking”, despite simply starting from today and working backwards. This in no way disproves that warming has occurred, nor that the Earth is currently deep within a typical Holocene warm period. The importance here is that it blows the notion that the warming is mostly/solely caused by Mankind. Hit the link to see the comparisons between the computer model projects and the reality. Interestingly, Warmists will Blame nature for the failure of the models, but will only blame Mankind for any warming.

Is Boycotting States The Next Big Thing For The Cult Of Climastrology?

By William Teach April 7, 2015 – 7:12 am

Actually, I hope so. Keep the loons to their own states rather than coming to mine

(Daily Caller) Climate change activists are taking a cue from the controversy surrounding the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and proposing a strategy that should include punishing states that block cap-and-trade type legislation.

A Think Progress, a blog for the liberal Center for American Progress, says the “The next great moral imperative is the fight to preserve a livable climate for our children and future generations,” adding they must “match the state-level success the LGBT community and its allies recently showed in changing a discriminatory Indiana law.”

Excitable Soros Funded Climate Monkey Joe Romm is the one who’s pushing this, starting off with (switching to the Climate Progress link)

The next great moral imperative is the fight to preserve a livable climate for our children and future generations. For progressives to win this fight — and the fate of literally billions of people hangs in the balance — we will have to match the state-level success the LGBT community and its allies recently showed in changing a discriminatory Indiana law.

One has to wonder about the morality of Warmists refusing to live the carbon nuetral lifestyle they espouse that Everyone Else be forced to live by Government rule.

The LGBT community did not win by asking by asking for “tolerance.” They weren’t trying to get folks to “accept gay marriage by holding their moral noses.” No: “the lesson that the gay revolution holds for any progressive movement” is that “they set out to change change people’s minds about what is moral.”

The LGBT community forced people to accept gay marriage by law. They bullied, badgered, and sued, often over the votes of The People. This is the message of the CoC. Naked, aggressive force over the will of the People.

Those who seek to block action to preserve a livable climate have chosen the battlefield. And that means it is fast approaching the time when all those who say they care about the climate, their children’s health and well-being, and future generations will have to stand up for their values state by state.

The CoC can’t win through spreading awareness. They can’t win through debate. They can’t win on their “science”. They have mostly lost in the court room. One has to wonder if this will turn into a more militant type campaign. Joe Romm doesn’t write things like that in a vacuum, not at George Soros funded Think Progress.

We can also see the continued evolution of the “morality” push regarding “climate change”. Of course, how moral can it be when Warmists tend to be big Climahypocrites?

Schumer Bucks White House On Iran Legislation

By William Teach April 7, 2015 – 6:51 am

Chuck Schumer will probably be the recipient of a Justice Department probe, ala Bob Menendez (not that Menendez may be totally innocent: question the timing)

(Politico) Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, one of Capitol Hill’s most influential voices in the Iran nuclear debate, is strongly endorsing passage of a law opposed by President Barack Obama that would give Congress an avenue to reject the White House-brokered framework unveiled last week.

The comments Monday by the Democratic leader-in-waiting illustrate the enormity of the task ahead for Obama and his team: While there’s no guarantee that Congress would ultimately reject an agreement with Iran, there’s an increasingly bipartisan consensus that Congress should at least have the ability to do so.

“This is a very serious issue that deserves careful consideration, and I expect to have a classified briefing in the near future. I strongly believe Congress should have the right to disapprove any agreement and I support the Corker bill which would allow that to occur,” Schumer said in an emailed statement to POLITICO.

Politico gives no reasoning for this from Schumer, beyond the need for Congress to have a say, and wondering how much this has to do with Schumer flexing his muscles, what with Harry Reid leaving at the end of his term. One also has to wonder how much this has to do with the huge support of the Jewish community in New York that he enjoys.

Within the Senate Democratic Caucus, a dozen senators have either co-sponsored Corker’s legislation or indicated they could support it. That would put the measure one vote shy of a veto-proof majority. On Monday, three more Democratic senators — Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Claire McCaskill of Missouri — left open the possibility of voting for it, according to aides. Their support, however, could hinge on whether Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), the new ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, is able to negotiate concessions that alleviate concerns the bill could derail any agreement.

It could be that Democrats are seeing how bad this deal with Iran is, and realizing that Obama is gone soon, while they’ll still be in office as Iran relishes the freedom and cash from the removal of sanctions, while still slowly working towards a nuclear weapon. And knowing that the deal is just kicking the can of Iran down the road

President Obama conceded Tuesday that the time it would take Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon could be cut “almost down to zero” after Year 13 of a possible deal.

Obama made the comments about Tehran’s so-called “breakout time” in an interview with NPR News that aired Tuesday morning. The president was attempting to answer the charge that the deal framework agreed upon by the U.S., Iran, and five other nations last week fails to eliminate the risk of Iran getting a nuclear weapon because it allows Tehran to keep enriching uranium.

Obama said that Iran would be capped for a decade at 300 kilograms of uranium — not enough to convert to a stockpile of weapons-grade material.

“What is a more relevant fear would be that in Year 13, 14, 15, they have advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point, the breakout times would have shrunk almost down to zero,” Obama said.

He goes on to say “The option of a future president to take action if in fact they try to obtain a nuclear weapon is undiminished”, meaning, “hey, it’s someone else’s problem”. Obama is desperate to get a deal, any deal, and it doesn’t matter the terms. He could also care less about protecting Israel. Or the entire region. Or the interests of the United States. Just his short term legacy.

Al Gore’s Climate Reality Says Change Starts With You

One would expect some answers, would one not? Nope. Leads to a link to register for a web meeting. Which will surely be about spreading awareness. Wouldn’t want the little people doing more to actually live the life than Gore does, right?

Another Cult Of Climastrology Member Wants The Media To Ban Skeptic Discourse

By William Teach April 6, 2015 – 11:45 am

Warmist Sylvie Stein attempts to paint a “let’s just be responsible” picture, but, at the end of the day, she’s just another in a long line of Cultists who prefer to shut down the voices of people who disagree with her cult

The Hill must do better on climate

I recently wrote an op-ed entitled “To the Media: Don’t Help the Merchants of Doubt.” In it, I asked the media to stop publishing factually inaccurate information on climate change, such as those made in a March 20 piece by climate denier William O’Keefe.

How did O’Keefe respond? By taking a classic page out of the “merchants of doubt” playbook. Throughout his piece, he attempts to make his fringe views appear credible by invoking bunk science: he cites discredited scientists like Dr. Willie Soon — who recently described his climate denial as “deliverables” produced in exchange for money from fossil fuel corporations— and his own organization — which, as we previously mentioned, Newsweek describes as a “central cog in the [climate change] denial machine.” Moreover, O’Keefe frames himself as the David to our Goliath — even while he’s bankrolled by the most profitable industry in the world.

By these own terms, all Warmist articles/opinion pieces should not be printed: their computer models have been an almost complete failure, as have their prognostications. Hence the reason Warmist are yammering about this and that happening 50-100 years down the road.

Our argument doesn’t pertain to deniers like O’Keefe, but to the media. We say to the editors of The Hill: We believe you can — and must — do better regarding the subject of climate.

Let’s break that down: it means that the CoC wants the media to refuse to publish anything by Skeptics.

But The Hill can look to several prominent media outlets that have already taken up this task. The Washington Post and The Guardian have both launched initiatives to put climate front and center in the past year. In October 2013, The Los Angeles Times letters editor Paul Thornton announced the newspaper would no longer publish letters to the editor that deny man-made climate change. Why?In Thornton’s words:

Simply put, I do my best to keep errors of fact off the letters page; when one does run, a correction is published. Saying “there’s no sign humans have caused climate change” is not stating an opinion, it’s asserting a factual inaccuracy.

What’s at stake if The Hill continues to publish factual inaccuracies on climate? The Hill’s credibility as a reliable news source, for one.

In other words, Warmists are watching, and heavily approve of censorship. But, they will come after media outlets who do not comply. The only difference, when it comes to tolerance, between Islamists and Warmists is that the Warmists do not resort to outright violence. Cultists lose virtually every debate, and see their cult dying out, hence, they need to attempt to shut down debate.

Good News: American Action Network Working Hard To Attack Conservatives

By William Teach April 6, 2015 – 8:24 am

Is it any wonder that Conservatives do not trust the Establishment Republicans? They spend more time attacking Conservatives and defending squishy Republicans than fighting back against Democrats. Does anyone see this happening on the Left? Normally, Liberal groups may attack Democrats for not being Democrat/Liberal enough. Republican groups attack Conservatives for not being too squishy and Democrat Lite

The center-right fights back

The center-right is putting more money into the game — and taking fresh aim at the conservatives bent on dragging the House to the right.

The deep-pocketed American Action Network, which has raised over $104 million since 2011, will put $1.8 million toward ads in 76 districts touting members who stood up to right-wing pressure and supported the House leadership on the budget and bipartisan Medicare legislation.

The digital and television ads follow the group’s leap into last month’s contentious Department of Homeland Security funding debate, in which it spent $400,000 against fellow Republicans who refused to fund the agency in protest of President Barack Obama’s immigration actions. It followed with another $350,000 for TV ads in four districts to thank GOP lawmakers who backed the long-term funding deal in early March.

These ads are lauding Republicans for capitulating to Obama and his pseudo-amnesty program. And they’ve already started running

“They say it can’t be done, that Washington is broken, and nobody is listening. They say we’ll never balance America’s budget, that we can’t repeal Obamacare and nobody can reform Medicare to protect seniors and doctors or take on the big issues. But they aren’t talking about Congresswoman Renee Ellmers,” a narrator says in an ad set to run in Ellmers’ North Carolina district.

I’ve been hearing these commercials on radio for a month or so regarding Ellmers. Exactly what have these squishy Republicans done? They haven’t balanced the budget, haven’t repealed Ocare (or even scaled it back), and they certainly haven’t stood up to Obama government by executive fiat mode.

Brian Walsh, the group’s past president, said the decision to target conservative Republicans at odds with GOP leaders represented an “evolution” of the group’s desire to be the “reasonable voice” in Republican policy debates. The DHS ads prompted surprise and anger from conservatives at being targeted by fellow GOP-ers.

But Walsh, now at RedPrint Strategies, said that despite the criticism, the effort was clearly effective in turning the conversation from ideology to tactics over how best to stop Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

The reasonable voice, along with pushing the convo to “tactics”, have done exactly zip to stop Obama’s agenda.
