Anyone else have a link or hotty-fest going on? Let me know so I can add you to the list. (BTW, since someone asked, the reason I leave links for the previous week up (or you might see a *) is because they are place holders for later in the day or for next weeks. Easier than rewriting all the time. Also, the listing order has to do with how they are added over time, not how good a post is. I just copy and paste from the previous week, then edit. If you see one of the *’s, go ahead and check out the blog anyhow, see if there is an update. I cannot update with my Android during the day.

Two NYPD Cops Killed Execution Style In Revenge For Death Of Eric Garner

By William Teach December 21, 2014 – 8:01 am

This is what happens when Typical Leftist Agitators whip the Leftist base into a frenzy, which causes them to forget that they are anti-gun and anti-violence

(NY Post) Two uniformed NYPD officers were shot dead Saturday afternoon as they sat in their marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner — in what investigators believe was a crazed gunman’s ­assassination-style mission to avenge Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

“No warning, no provocation — they were quite simply assassinated, targeted for their uniform,” Police Commissioner William Bratton said.

Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were working overtime as part of an anti-terrorism drill in Bedford-Stuyvesant just before 3 p.m. when they were shot point-blank in the head by lone gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, who had addresses in Georgia, Maryland and Brooklyn.

Brinsley was also a fugitive for shooting his fiance in the abdomen. She is expected to live. Brinsley committed suicide at the scene.

By early Saturday afternoon — just three hours before shooting Liu and Ramos — vile anti-police threats were posted to Brinsley’s Instagram page. The threats referenced the ­recent police-involved killings of Garner and Brown.

“I’m Putting Wings on Pigs Today,” a person believed to be the gunman wrote. “They Take 1 Of Ours . . . Let’s Take 2 of Theirs,” the post continued, ending with, “This May Be My Final Post.”

The gun shown on the Instagram page matches the one found at the scene.

When Mayor De Blasio, who has been beyond critical of the NYPD and likes to race-bait, arrived for the press conference NYPD officers turned their backs to him.

I’ll say again, I believe it was a miscarriage of justice that charges where not forwarded from the Grand Jury over the death of Eric Garner. But, none of us were present in the GJ room, listening to the evidence. Police around the country certainly have some issues. Not all of them. There are problematic people, to put it mildly, in all walks of life. Police have a tough job, essentially dealing with people who break the law for most of their work day. They deal with people who lie to them and abuse them. They deal with people who get aggressive and violent with them. The last thing your average officer needs to deal with is people whipping the crowd into a frenzy of police hatred.

More: Proof Positive reminds us that it was very recent that people were marching in the streets chanting “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!” The NY Post says there is blood on the hands of protesters.

Grist Provides More Climate Change Christmas Carols

By William Teach December 20, 2014 – 9:32 am

And they are as depressing and insane as you’d expect from a cult fascinated with doom, who love using special occasions as a means to spread their cult in a manner more annoying than a Jehovah’s Witness badgering you at the airport

We wrote (and sang!) these climate apocalypse holiday carols just for you

Getting sick of all the holiday cheer? Want to stick it to your climate-change-denying relatives and celebrate our impending doom this season? The Grist Family Singers are here to help.

Because nothing says “hey, how can I get you to believe me?” like being a jerk at Christmas time.

Away in the Climate Apocalypse Future

Away in the future most species are dead
There’s still some poor humans, their hearts filled with dread
If typhoons and cyclones don’t blow them away
In simmering acidic seas they’ll decay.

That one continues on for a bit. Then we have

Violent Night

Silent night, seems all right
Seas are calm, stars shine bright
Carbon spewing from smokestacks like wild
Just an illusion, this climate so mild
Sleep in ignorant peace
Sleep while there’s still peace.

Which also continues on. You’re welcome to hit the link and read the rest of the bat guano insanity, as well as a video of the wankers singing the songs.

$10 Billion U.N. Climate Change Fund Wants Immunity From Prosecution

By William Teach December 20, 2014 – 8:25 am

Why would they need this?

(Fox News) The Green Climate Fund, (GCF) a United Nations-affiliated piggy-bank  intended to finance climate change projects around the world, is determined to win sweeping U.N.-style immunities from prosecutions for its global operations–even though  the U.S., its biggest contributor, opposes the idea, and the U.N. itself says its own diplomatic immunities can’t cover the outfit.

The immunities issue could well spark even deeper opposition from Republican lawmakers in next year’s Congress to the Obama Administration’s aggressive climate change policies–which include a recent $3 billion pledge to the Fund.

“We would definitely be opposed to any extension of immunity to the Fund,” said a senior aide to Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, who will chair the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works starting in January.

“What do they need protection from?” he asked. “In essence, they are doing business development projects. If you look at the way millions of people do transactions across national borders, they do it without immunity and very successfully.”

And what does this immunity look like?

The shield would cover all documentation as well as the words and actions of officials and consultants involved in the activity documentation—even after they move on to other jobs. As a tasty side-benefit, the “privileges” attached to such “privileges and immunities,” as they are known in diplomatic parlance, mean that employees get their salaries tax-free.

What could they possibly be worried about in wanting this immunity? When asked, Michel Smitall, a Fund spokesman, said

“Privileges and immunities are intended to facilitate GCF activities in countries in which it operates and the GCF’s ability to use contributions by donor countries in an effective and efficient manner that serves the objectives agreed by its member countries,” he said.

Smitall added that it is “premature” to give out any information on the specific scope of  privileges and immunities, because these “would be negotiated bilaterally with countries in which the GCF operates.”

Apparently, this could give them ambassador and diplomatic staff style immunity, but, hey, don’t worry, because the GCF “functions in a transparent manner, with strong oversight by its [24-member] Board”. They’re totally above board, and ready to work with any nation where one of their people breaks the law. Though they’ll have total immunity. And it’s not like in many countries where GCF operates they’ll be dealing directly with national leaders with a financial stake in the projects. And don’t worry that the GCF could potentially be dealing with hundreds of billions of dollars, potentially trillions, because they are totally trustable. Just like the United Nations, which never does anything bad. It’s not like there have been scandals like the Oil For Food program. And the “climate change” community certainly never does anything wrong.

GWU Students Thrilled To Sign Petition To Exchange One American For Each Illegal Alien

By William Teach December 20, 2014 – 8:04 am

This is an idea I’ve mentioned at least once or twice back in the archives, and a few times on Twitter. Of course, when I brought it up it was strictly in the sense of specifically exchanging Democrats for illegals

(Campus Reform) Students at George Washington University (GWU) willingly signed a petition supporting the deportation of one American citizen in exchange for one illegal immigrant.

“Please sign our petition for President Obama to deport one American citizen, in exchange for one undocumented immigrant,” read the petition. “Everyone must be allowed a shot at the ‘American Dream.’ Americans should not be greedy. Let us right the wrongs of our past and make another’s dreams come true.”

“It makes sense,” one student told Campus Reform. “Like, I’ve noticed that there is a lot of like hatred against undocumented immigrants and it’s not necessarily their fault.”

The more Progressive the student was, the more willing they were to sign the petition for “social justice”. During the hour Campus Reform spent on campus, two-thirds signed the petition. Watch

Past Warming Event Is Totally A Window Into The Future

By William Teach December 19, 2014 – 3:50 pm

And this is supposed to be bad news or something

(Nature World News) Warming that occurred almost 56 million years ago isn’t all that different from the human-caused global warming we’re experiencing today. And a new study suggests that this past warming event can provide a window into future climate change.

During the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum, or PETM, 56 million years ago, temperatures rose by 5 to 8 degrees Celsius (9 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit). It also involved the average annual release of at least 0.9 petagrams (1.98 trillion pounds) of carbon to the atmosphere. While it’s promising that Earth and most species managed to survive this episode, it also took millennia for them to recover.

First of all, if you are using improper terminology, referring to CO2 as “carbon”, your point is a political one, not scientific. That same bad terminology is used in the statement from the scientists

“There is a positive note in that the world persisted, it did not go down in flames, it has a way of self-correcting and righting itself,” lead author Gabe Bowen, from the University of Utah, said in a statement. “However, in this event it took almost 200,000 years before things got back to normal.”

Normal? What is normal? Can any Warmist tell us what that is? If we look at the history of the Earth, normal would be much higher temperatures than today. But, there is no “normal.” They Earth has gone through periods of heat, warmth, cool, cold, even snowball Earth.

Let’s delve into the statement, shall we?

Bowen says previous research has shown that during the Paleocene-Eocene warm period, there was “enhanced storminess in some areas, increased aridity in other places. We see continent-scale migration of animals and plants, ranges are shifting. We see only a little bit of extinction – some groups of deep-sea foraminifera, one-cell organisms that go extinct at the start of this event. Not much else went extinct.”

“We see the first wave of modern mammals showing up,” including ancestral primates and hoofed animals,” he adds. Oceans became more acidic, as they are now.

So, nothing bad? Just typical changes to the Earth?

One also has to ask “what caused the spike in CO2 and methane release during that time period, which are being blamed for the temperature increase?” They offer some conjecture. Why can’t those conjectured reasons be applicable today? Oh, right, “climate change” is a political movement. Not scientific.

Mean Conservatives Abuse Transgender Woman

By William Teach December 19, 2014 – 9:41 am

Big meanies

“So you lost your dick?”: Inside an Ivy league transphobia nightmare
Meredith Talusan thought her fancy liberal college would be a safe space for a trans student. Here’s the ugly truth

…

Earlier this month, Talusan was asked to leave her home at Telluride House, a cooperative living community loosely affiliated with Cornell that seeks to foster “self-governance and intellectual inquiry.”

Her crime? Protesting alleged harassment from a fellow resident, who at various points referred to her as “a man dressed as a woman” and as having “lost [her] dick.” A Change.org petition with more than 1,200 signatures has called on the Telluride Association, which oversees the House, to remove the alleged harasser and compensate Talusan for expenses she’s incurred finding alternate accommodations.

The Telluride Association is one of those hippie-dippie, social-justice/educational organizations full of well-meaning liberal folks. But the way it has failed to protect its first transgender resident is an object lesson in the ways those on the left can actually be even more unsympathetic — and in this case, vicious — as those who don’t even pretend to care about minority rights.

Oh, wait, this is about Liberals being jerks. Usually, one can rely on Salon to be ultra nutty in its hatred of Conservatives and just generally ultra nutty, but, they do run a few articles which make sense. In this case, liberals being jerks. Let’s face it, there are jerks throughout life. We cannot necessarily subscribe motives and jerkiness of a few to the overall collective at all times.

Of course, Salon did attempt to subscribe bad motives to all conservatives with that last bit about “those who don’t even pretend to care about minority rights”. But, actually Gabriel Arana is correct. We do not pretend to care about minority rights. We care about equal rights for all people, rather than sticking them in a box. Equal protection for all.

#AskDrH Finally Answers A Few Questions

By William Teach December 19, 2014 – 8:07 am

People, including myself, since I asked him lots and lots of questions on Twitter, were wondering if this would ever happen

(White House) Last month, Dr. John Holdren — the President’s science advisor – invited the public to ask him anything about climate change on social media using the hashtag #AskDrH.

Since then, he’s gotten a lot of questions. Brandon, a seventh-grader, wanted to know if climate change will affect him during his lifetime. A number of people asked whether climate change is driving extreme events, like the heavy snowfall we’ve seen recently in Buffalo, New York. Some people wanted to know what Dr. Holdren is doing to prevent climate change himself.

Here are the questions he answered

That last one is a question that I asked at least several times, and one I often ask Warmists

I find it interesting that the first thing he starts with, and the thing he says is most important, is implementing Obama’s “climate change” agenda. Things that affect Other People. This is what is most important to Warmists, forcing That Guy to adhere to the Warmist beliefs.

He does finally mention at the end a few things that he and his wife are doing in their own lives, such as his wife driving a hybrid, he takes the metro to work at the White House, and doesn’t even own a car in D.C., uses CFL’s (compact fluorescent light-bulbs), and recycles. That was actually the point of the question. Of course, he hasn’t given up fossil fueled travel himself.

The answer regarding the question about temps not increasing in 18 years is typical Warmist claptrap. I would have loved to hear him answer my question as to why 95% of computer models failed to predict the Pause.
