Whether It’s a ‘Climate Emergency’ or Nuclear War: Doomsday Never Seems to Happen | Watts Up With That?
"From 1947 to today, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, keepers of the “doomsday clock”—a holdover from the atomic age and Cold War—has predicted doom by moving the hands of a prop clock closer to or further away from midnight.
Midnight represents a global doom disaster in progress.

Midnight represents a global doom disaster in progress.
In a breathless press release on January 23, which included a cameo from former California governor and climate activist Jerry Brown, the group announced that due to “climate change,” the world is 20 seconds closer to midnight, standing at 100 seconds (1 minute 40 seconds) before midnight.

The scientists announced:
Civilization-ending nuclear war—whether started by design, blunder, or simple miscommunication—is a genuine possibility. Climate change that could devastate the planet is undeniably happening. And for a variety of reasons that include a corrupted and manipulated media environment, democratic governments and other institutions that should be working to address these threats have failed to rise to the challenge.
In essence, they are saying nuclear war and climate change are equivalent threats.
Such a comparison is mind-bogglingly ridiculous.
Consider that climate change has no “hair trigger” like nuclear catastrophe does. Some despot or dictator who obtains a nuclear weapon is entirely different from the slow change of climate over 100 years.
Yet, these supposedly learned scientists have embraced the hype of “climate emergency” as if it was on par with a nuclear hair trigger.
Lamenting the lack of action and interest in climate change, they write:Lip service continued, with some governments now echoing many scientists’ use of the term “climate emergency.” But the policies and actions that governments proposed were hardly commensurate to an emergency. Exploration and exploitation of fossil fuels continues to grow.
Because all governments don’t sense an “emergency” and have not pulled the plug on electricity grids powered by fossil fuels, the Atomic Scientists are in despair..."

Sooo, if 3rd graders can't read, promote 'em anyway-----Gov. Gretchen Whitmer launching effort to undercut Michigan’s third-grade reading law | Bridge Magazine
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer launching effort to undercut Michigan’s third-grade reading law | Bridge Magazine"Undercutting Michigan’s controversial third-grade reading law, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will unveil in her State of the State address Wednesday an initiative to help struggling readers avoid flunking and advance to fourth grade.
...The intent, according to Whitmer, is to lower the number of kids who flunk because they are struggling readers.
...In October 2016, the Michigan Legislature passed a law requiring students who are more than a grade level behind in reading by the end of third grade to be retained, joining 15 other states with similar read-or-flunk laws.
...If past test scores are an indication, the state’s low-income, urban and minority children will be more likely to be flagged for retention.
...Teachers and principals can request a good cause exemption for students..."

"It was only last October that I diagnosed the Democrats as suffering from “prophetic failure.”
That’s what happens when the prophecies of a religious cult fail to turn up on cue.
...These are not the actions of a cunning political party carefully plotting how to win 51 percent of the vote at the next election.
These are the desperate actions of a religious cult traumatized by the failure of prophecy.
And never mind the science!

From Quillette:
But nationwide, issues like administrative lack of support and incompetence, overwhelming class size, burdensome paperwork, and disciplinary issues overshadow the joys of teaching and make public schools intolerable places to build a career.
So what are our liberal friends doing about this?
They are gutting school discipline, because racism.
So education is going to get worse, a lot worse, before it gets better.

At least when you are a conservative you do not get to live in a cocoon where nobody is allowed to criticize you.

Lunch video-----Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, speaks his mind.
"Rex sits down with Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace and an outspoken critic of the climate-change hysteria and eco-fanaticism which currently inundates politics, journalism, and academia.
Dr. Moore talks about his adventures confronting Soviet and Japanese whaling ships, sailing across the ocean to stop nuclear bomb tests, advocating for Golden Rice (a GMO food for the poor), why he became disillusioned with Greenpeace’s mission, and the rampant untruths and myths surrounding global warming."

Study: Bernie Sanders' Wealth Tax Would Shrink U.S. Economy and Lower Wages
Study: Bernie Sanders' Wealth Tax Would Shrink U.S. Economy and Lower Wages:
Senator Bernie Sanders plan to tax the wealth of some of America’s richest families would add new revenue for the government at the cost of shrinking the economy, lowering wages, and reduce capital formation in the United States, according to a new analysis from University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School Budget Model.
Sanders, a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, has said he would impose a graduated wealth tax starting at 1 percent of a household net worth above $32 million. It would climb to 8 percent on households with a net worth above $10 billion.

US life expectancy rose in 2018 for 1st time in 4 years: Study - ABC News
The average American man will live to be 76, and the average woman will live to be 81.
Those gains were driven by declines in 6 of the 10 leading causes of death between 2017 and 2018, and a notable drop in drug overdose deaths.
Overdose deaths, after increasing for decades, fell for the first time in 28 years, from 70,237 in 2017 to 67,367 in 2018, according to the report..."

Sessions: 'Perfectly Appropriate' for Trump to Ask Questions About Joe and Hunter Biden, Ukraine
During an interview that aired on Huntsville, AL’s radio WVNN on Tuesday, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions indicated that President Donald Trump was justified in wanting answers about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden’s relationship with Ukraine and Ukrainian energy Burisma.
Sessions, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama, explained the circumstances of the situation on WVNN’s “The Jeff Poor Show” and added that raising the issue should not be an impeachable offense.
