Hunter Biden China business drawing new scrutiny - Washington Times:

Scrutiny of business deals by former Vice President Joseph R. Biden’s son Hunter now includes his joint venture with a Chinese government entity to buy a U.S. automotive technology company with potential military applications.
The ease with which the 2015 transaction was approved by the Obama administration alarmed Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who is looking into whether the Obama-Biden White House intervened in the process.

Chernobyl Wildlife Thriving as Scientists Find Exclusion Zone Full of Animals

Chernobyl Wildlife Thriving as Scientists Find Exclusion Zone Full of Animals
"The word "Chernobyl" likely conjures up eerie images of buildings long-abandoned by residents who fled the nuclear fallout.
But the area in Ukraine is far from deserted, as evidenced by a study showing how a wide variety of animals, from eagles to otters, live there.
After the Chernobyl power plant exploded in 1986, causing what is generally regarded as the worst nuclear disaster in history, humans abandoned an area spanning 1,000 square miles north of Kiev, known as the exclusion zone.
Since then, scientists have been fascinated by the animals that might inhabit this desolate pocket of Ukraine bordering Belarus.
..."We've seen evidence of a diversity of wildlife in the CEZ through our previous research, but this is the first time that we've seen white-tailed eagles, American mink and river otter on our cameras," commented James Beasley, co-author of the new study and associate professor at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources..."

To Help the Poor, Focus on Poverty Reduction Rather than Inequality--Dan Mitchell | International Liberty

Dan Mitchell | International Liberty
"To Help the Poor, Focus on Poverty Reduction Rather than Inequality

"Here’s a simple quiz to determine whether you should support a candidate like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren: Would you embrace a policy that increased income for poor Americans by 10 percent if it also happened to increase income for rich Americans by 15 percent?

Normal people automatically say yes. After all, they don’t resent rich people and they want lower-income people to enjoy better living standards.

Some of our left-leaning friends (including at the IMF!), however, are so fixated on inequality that they are willing to deprive the poor so long as higher-income people have even larger losses (Margaret Thatcher nailed them on this issue).

Let’s look at some analysis of this issue....

...Let’s close with a chart from Mark Perry showing that ever-greater numbers of Americans are climbing the income ladder.

P.S. This data from China is the most powerful and persuasive that I’ve seen on why growth matters far more than inequality...

Tucker Says Democrats Are Now ‘Too Radical To Win A Conventional Election’ | The Daily Caller:

“How many self-righteous lectures are we going to hear about national security, delivered by the very people who gave us open borders and an endless string of pointless wars?” Carlson continued, arguing that Democrats didn’t care at all about national security. “There is no moral component to any of this. They saw an opening to grab power and they are taking it.”

"ARTICLE — From the September 1958 issue
A true scientific detective story-By Betty Friedan
How a rising of the ocean waters may flood most of our port cities within the foreseeable future — and why it will be followed by the growth of a vast glacier which may eventually cover much of Europe and North America.
THIS is the story of two scientists, who started five years ago — with a single radiocarbon clue from the ocean bottom and a wild hunch — to track down one of the earth’s great unsolved mysteries: What caused the ancient ice ages? 
Their search led over many continents and seas, to drowned rivers and abandoned mountain caves, into far-removed branches of science.
It took them down through recorded history, from the stone tablets of primitive man to contemporary newspaper headlines..."

• Sewage said to be changing ecosystem

B.C. is the Canadian province which dumps the most untreated sewage into rivers and oceans.

In 2015, 82.3 billion litres were dumped province-wide. 

Sewage dumped into the Juan de Fuca Strait from places like the CRD accounted for 24.8 billion litres of that total...

He said the decades of dumping have created changes in the ocean, including dead zones, over the last 10 years.

The study, a preprint version of which was posted online Thursday, is just the latest scientific indication that female athletes are at a disadvantage when forced to compete against males who identify as transgender women.
A paper published in the Journal of Medical Ethics in June found that male athletes who identify as transgender women have an “intolerable” advantage over their female competitors, even after suppressing testosterone levels.

"Politicians in Wales are campaigning to transform the country into the world’s first “nation of sanctuary” for “refugees and asylum seekers”.

The Welsh Assembly’s Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee has published a report which chairman John Griffiths (Labour) hopes will help advance the Welsh Government’s goal of becoming a sanctuary, a commitment agreed in principle in 2012.

...“The constant news cycle of images and stories of people escaping war and persecution in Syria, Iraq and other countries brings home the tragedy of current world events and the stories people have told us during this inquiry have been both harrowing and distressing but ultimately inspiring,” said Griffiths.

“It is critical that there is the right support available to [migrants] when they reach Wales so that they can participate fully in Welsh life and have fulfilling lives in their new communities.”

"New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady is one of the most accomplished and decorated NFL stars of all time, but Kyle Kusz, an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of Rhode Island has a much different take on the 42-year-old.
According to Campus Reform, Kusz does not think Brady's popularity stems from his six Superbowl titles but instead due to white supremacy and white male rage.
..."Quarterback Tom Brady has gained popularity due to the 'latest wave of white rage and white supremacy,'" wrote Kusz.
According to Kusz, this popularity began with the election of former President Barack Obama, parallel to "a disturbing racial reaction among white conservatives in response to the idea that a black man would be [president]."...

The Power of Comprehensive Policy Reform: Lessons for Ontario from Michigan | Fraser Institute

The Power of Comprehensive Policy Reform: Lessons for Ontario from Michigan | Fraser Institute
Summary

• In recent years, Ontario has experienced weak overall economic performance and rising public debt. Further, the province has seen its manufacturing sector—once a primary driver of growth in the province—decline substantially.
• By comparison, the American state of Michigan—which has historically underperformed Ontario economically, has experienced a surge of economic and employment growth.
• This study compares the economic performance of Ontario and Michigan in recent years, examining a broad range of indicators including aggregate economic growth per person, private sector job creation, and fiscal outcomes (specifically the growth in public debt). On each of these indicators, Michigan has outperformed Ontario in recent years.
• The start of Michigan’s recent economic turnaround was contemporaneous with the implementation of a robust and comprehensive pro-growth policy reform agenda which included both tax relief and spending reductions.

..."This is the city paying for direct comprehensive care (not just ERs) for people who can’t afford it, or can’t get comprehensive Medicaid - including 300,000 undocumented New Yorkers," Eric Phillips, spokesman for de Blasio, boasted on Twitter.
State Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican representing parts of Brooklyn and Staten Island, criticized the proposal as an example of de Blasio using city coffers "like his personal ATM."
"How about instead of giving free health care to 300,000 citizens of other countries, you lower property taxes for our senior citizens who are being forced to sell the homes they’ve lived in for decades because they can’t afford to pay your 44 percent increase in property taxes?" she said..."

Donald Trump at High Noon

Donald Trump at High Noon
"The classic Western film High Noon, released in 1952, offers a compelling analogy to the Trump presidency.  
Set in New Mexico territory sometime in the late 1800s, it starred Gary Cooper as Marshal Will Kane and Grace Kelly as Amy.
...He returns to Hadleyville and attempts to deputize other men in the town to help him face off the murderers. 

But not one of the townsmen will agree to help.  
They are all cowards (Republicans) in fear of their lives, or they are friends and admirers of the outlaw Frank Miller and want to welcome him back to the town (Democrats).  
Bottom line?  
Not one man will stand with Kane or defend the peace and safety he has brought to their town.  
All the men he's tried to recruit only want Kane to leave; they think if he's not there, there will be no trouble, rather like those who want to dispense with ICE, DHS, and the police.  
No law enforcement, no crime.  
Sure.  
We all know how that goes.  
Like The Magnificent Seven, this film, too, proves the age-old truth that submission to evil brings only violence and grief.  
It is generally "toxic" masculinity that saves the day..."
...Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling was the theme song from High Noon. 
That lyric is as apt now as it was then. 
Trump is constantly forsaken by the people who, if they had a spine, should be fighting as hard for him as he fights for us, for the country. 
Did they listen to his speech at the UN? 
This man is a great President..."

Consensus isn't Science; it's Politics.----Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming

John Whitefisk Consensus isn't Science; it's Politics.

“I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks.Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. 
Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. 
Consensus is the business of politics.Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. 
In science consensus is irrelevant. 
What is relevant is reproducible results.
The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.There is no such thing as consensus science. 
If it's consensus, it isn't science. 
If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.”
