Two Los Angeles Police Officers Shot In Targeted Attack

By William Teach March 16, 2015 – 7:14 am

Remember when Sarah Palin was blamed for the shooting of Gaby Giffords because of a “crosshairs” map for those she wanted to defeat politically? When will Democrats and the police haters take responsibility for the attacks on police officers?

(UK Daily Mail) A manhunt is underway after two plain-clothes police officers were shot and wounded while driving through a South Los Angeles neighborhood in what has been described as a ‘targeted’ attack.

The officers, who have not been identified, were reportedly fired at near the intersection of 65th Street and Broadway on Sunday evening as they drove in an unmarked car.

They subsequently returned fire, causing several suspects to scatter, police said. The officers were treated at the scene for minor gunshot wounds, while a number of people were detained by police.

Now, a search has been launched for two male suspects who were allegedly involved in the shooting and are on the run. Dozens of officers, including SWAT members, were at the scene Sunday night.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Detective Meghan Aguila said the officers are thought to have been specifically targeted in the attack, which occurred in the Florence area shortly before 5.45pm.

Does this have anything to do with the anti-police venom spewed by Liberals? Maybe. Maybe not. This could certainly have occurred due to violence and crime that happens daily in South LA. Perhaps gang, drug, or illegal alien related. But, hey, since there is no proof of any of that, why don’t we just go with the Typical Democrat Method and blame Democrats? Especially since this comes on the heals of the arrest of a Ferguson protester who supposedly admitted that he shot police officers.

Clinton Camp Now Claims Every Email Was Reviewed

By William Teach March 16, 2015 – 6:53 am

Well, sure, why not. This is an attempt to satisfy those Democrat voters who have lost faith in the potential for Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic Party presidential candidate for 2016, rather than providing a real defense of her potentially lawless actions

(Fox News) Hillary Clinton’s camp late Sunday issued a significant clarification about the steps they say were taken to review thousands of personal emails before they were deleted, claiming her team individually read “every email” before discarding those deemed private.

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill made the clarification in a written statement to Fox News. This comes after the former secretary of state’s office revealed last week that while more than 30,000 “work-related” emails were turned over to the State Department, nearly 32,000 were deemed “private” and deleted.

This admission raised questions over how her team decided to get rid of those messages. Merrill on Sunday clarified an earlier fact sheet that described some of those methods but did not say every email was read.

“We simply took for granted that reading every single email came across as the most important, fundamental and exhaustive step that was performed.  The fact sheet should have been clearer in stating that every email was read,” Merrill said.

Of course, perhaps they did, in fact, read every single email, and that is why 32000 were deleted. Not because they were of a personal nature, but because they hurt Hillary. If she was using that email address as her official State Department email address, she has no right to delete any emails, regardless of any sort of personal nature. And it looks as if there will be a House probe

(The Hill) Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is poised to announce an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of State, ABC News reported Sunday, citing unidentified top House Republicans.

ABC said Boehner is expected to announce the investigation this week.

The next line is vastly amusing

The probe could signal that Republicans intend to make the issue a centerpiece of their attacks on Clinton as she moves to officially unveil her expected 2016 Democratic presidential bid.

Or, it could be that the House sees yet another case of lawlessness from a member of the Obama administration.

Anyhow, as you can guess, Democrats are unhappy about any potential investigation, and are rallying around Hillary, because laws, rules, and regulations apply to Other People.

Hotcoldwetdry To Make Chicken And Steak Taste Worse Or Something

By William Teach March 15, 2015 – 3:16 pm

The Cult Of Climastrology is at it again. OK, really, they’re just continuing on with their bat guano insane cult (via Weasel Zippers)

Climate change to make steak and chicken taste worse, ruining barbecues for future Aussies

THE good old Aussie BBQ may not taste quite as good for future generations, according to new research.

A study of the impact of climate change on 55 foods grown in Australia, found the quality of beef and chicken may plummet, eggplants may look weirder than they already do and carrots could taste worse.

The report by researchers at the University of Melbourne said Australia’s dry deserts will become hotter, heavy rain will increase in areas like NSW and cyclones will become less frequent but more intense in the north.

It found those predictions will impact agriculture production and force farmers to adapt to changing conditions.

That could mean cattle farmers switch to more heat-tolerant, but lower eating-quality, cows and winemakers will have to migrate south or face lower-quality yields.

May. Could. Might. Predictions. Same old palm reading BS.

Andrew Bolt writes “Aren’t scientists and journalists growing embarrassed at peddling these cheap scares?” Perhaps they are, but, most are also afraid of the insane pressure and vitriol that would be aimed their way from the CoC, along with Warmist politicians and the Leftist media. And the accompanying loss of funding.

NY Post: White House Advisor Valerie Jarrett Leaked Hillary’s Email Scandal

By William Teach March 15, 2015 – 8:32 am

The NY Post’s Edward Klein files this exclusive, which, based on the history of Obama and his team, especially when it comes to vindictiveness, seems entirely probable and possible

Obama adviser behind leak of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal

It’s the vast left-wing conspiracy.

Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett leaked to the press details of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail address during her time as secretary of state, sources tell me.

But she did so through people outside the ­administration, so the story couldn’t be traced to her or the White House.

Of course, this would also mean that the White House was well aware of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server in violation of federal government and State Department rules. What did they know and when did they know it? Regardless, it is entirely plausible that Team Obama, and, in particular, Valerie Jarrett, would do this to Hillary Clinton.

In addition, at Jarrett’s behest, the State Department was ordered to launch a series of investigations into Hillary’s conduct at Foggy Bottom, including the use of her expense account, the disbursement of funds, her contact with foreign leaders and her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation.

Six separate probes into Hillary’s performance have been ­going on at the State Department. I’m told that the e-mail scandal was timed to come out just as Hillary was on the verge of formally announcing that she was running for president — and that there’s more to come.

This begs the question “why?”

The sabotage is part of an ­ongoing feud between the two Democrat powerhouses.

Last fall, during the run-up to the 2014 midterm elections, Jarrett was heard to complain bitterly that the Clintons were turning congressmen, senators, governors and grass-root party members against Obama by portraying him as an unpopular president who was an albatross around the neck of the party.

Jarrett was said to be livid that most Democrats running for election refused to be seen campaigning with the president. She blamed the Clintons for marginalizing the president and for trying to wrestle control of the Democratic Party away from Obama.

During a meeting in the White House between Hillary, both Barack and Michelle Obama, and Jarrett, Barack told Hillary that he was going to stay neutral in the Democrat primaries. Obama thinks Clinton is not far enough to the left, and will undermine the (horrible) policies put into place during Obama’s (disgraceful) years in office.

To add to what Klein has written (he’s spent a lot of time researching the feud between the Clinton’s and Obama’s, and just came out with a book), I would have to wonder if this goes as far back as the 2008 primaries. There was no love lost between the two camps, and things were done and said that were less than civil. You know, what would be called “politics”. Those of us on the right discuss the Clinton’s “politics of personal destruction”. Obama, though, takes things so utterly personal that he makes the Clinton’s look like high school football to Obama’s NFL. Obama is vindictive, and the people he surrounds himself with, especially Jarrett, are just as vindictive.

Climahypocrites Reid And Whitehouse Say GOP In Denial Over Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach March 14, 2015 – 5:55 pm

If I tell you that eating meat is bad, and you shouldn’t eat meat, and that government should pass laws forcing people to pay lots and lots more to buy meat, with the intention of forcing people to stop eating meat, yet I freely ate meat all the time, would I be a hypocrite and full of mule fritters? Here are Senators Reid and Whitehouse writing in the

(USA Today) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., recently condemned President Obama’s proposed standards to limit carbon pollution from big power plants — pollution that is now totally unregulated. Conspicuously missing from the majority leader’s argument was one simple, yet extraordinarily important phrase: “climate change.” Republicans in Congress have no plan to address climate change and cannot even bear to utter the words. Even worse, the majority leader wants to impose on states his irresponsible plan for congressional inaction.

It wasn’t always so. Numerous moderate Republicans advocated for addressing carbon pollution in the not so distant past. But once the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision allowed the fossil fuel industry to cinch its death grip on the Republican Party, any hope for bipartisan cooperation came to an abrupt end. The Republican Party in Congress has become the political arm of the fossil fuel industry.

Sigh. Citizens United whining. Fossil fuels whining. From two senators who have benefited tremendously from Citizens United, the fossil fuel industry, and take lots of fossil fueled travel.

This is followed by more whining about stuff that is entirely expected (I bet you read the excerpt in Harry Reid’s voice), ending with

As the evidence becomes clearer and clearer, and the American people move farther away from the deniers, the Republican Party must have its own day of reckoning, when it will finally again be able to address — or even mention — climate change. That day can’t come too soon.

Funny, because Harry had full control of the Senate to go with Nancy Pelosi’s control of the House to go with Obama’s control of the White House for two full years, and failed to pass any sort of legislation.

But, this is not about science, it’s about politics. Period. Just like the entire Cult of Climastrology.

Surprise: $15 Minimum Wage Killing Jobs

By William Teach March 14, 2015 – 9:56 am

I’m shocked that absolutely no one saw this coming

(Shiftwa.org) Seattle’s $15 minimum wage law goes into effect on April 1, 2015. As that date approaches, restaurants across the city are making the financial decision to close shop. The Washington Policy Center writes that “closings have occurred across the city, from Grub in the upscale Queen Anne Hill neighborhood, to Little Uncle in gritty Pioneer Square, to the Boat Street Cafe on Western Avenue near the waterfront.”

Who would have thought that artificially increasing base operating costs would have negative consequences?

Al Gore Takes Fossil Fueled Flight To Tell Warmists To Organize On The Internet

By William Teach March 14, 2015 – 8:04 am

Twenty five plus years of spreading awareness and pushing Big Central Government policies and all they have are more pushes for spreading awareness and Big Central Government policies. And climahypocrisy. We can’t forget about that

Want to fight climate change? Organize over the Internet, says Al Gore

AUSTIN, Texas — Al Gore thinks the Internet could help save the planet. Literally.

The former United States vice president exhorted people to tap into the power of the Internet to organize their efforts for a healthy environment and call out politicians who deny climate change.

“Push back. Use social media, use the Internet,” Gore said Friday. “Political will is a renewable resource.”

Gore made his comments during a presentation on the first day of South by Southwest Interactive, the tech-centric portion of the festival that brings together the technorati, filmmakers and musicians. Gore has deep ties to the technology industry, as a director on Apple’s board and senior partner at the venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers.

He couldn’t have given this speech via the Internet, rather than taking a fossil fueled flight (and, being Gore, you just know he took a private jet) to Austin, Texas? We know he couldn’t tell the rest of the Cult Of Climastrology (CoC) to practice what they preach, because he himself is a massive climahypocrite. Not that they’d listen on that point anyhow.

Arguably the most recognizable face of the environmental movement, Gore compared the fight over climate change to recent political wins for Net neutrality, the concept of ensuring that all Internet traffic gets fair and equal treatment. The Federal Communications Commission last month voted in favor of stricter regulations that would ensure an open Internet. The lead up to that vote involved an active Internet campaign, with Amazon, Facebook, Google and other tech giants voicing support, joined by people sharing their views on social media.

In other words, Gore inadvertently exposed that the whole “climate change” movement is essentially a far left political push for far left political measures, based on hyperbole that is divorced from the reality. Net neutrality is more about creating massive Central Government control of the Internet and the people who use it, which will also stifle innovation. Climate change is about enacting Big Government control of people, private entities, and the economy.
