A national scam. A national disgrace. Disgusting!----Silencing Skeptics – Financing Alarmists

Silencing Skeptics – Financing Alarmists | Somewhat Reasonable:
..."As Dr. Richard Lindzen, MIT atmospheric sciences professor emeritus and one of Grijalva’s targets, has pointed out: “Billions of dollars have been poured into studies supporting climate alarm, and trillions of dollars have been involved in overthrowing the energy economy” – and replacing it with expensive, inefficient, insufficient, job-killing, environmentally harmful wind, solar and biofuel sources.
Their 1090 forms reveal that, during the 2010-2012 period, six environmentalist groups received a whopping $332 million from six federal agencies! 
That is 270 times what Dr. Willie Soon and Harvard-Smithsonian’s Center for Astrophysics received from fossil fuel companies in a decade – the funding that supposedly triggered the lawmakers’ letters, mere days after Greenpeace launched its attack on Dr. Soon.
The EPA, Fish & Wildlife Service, NOAA, USAID, Army and State Department transferred this taxpayer money to Environmental Defense, Friends of the Earth, Nature Conservancy, Natural Resource Defense Council, National Wildlife Fund and Clean Air Council, for research, reports, press releases and other activities that support and promote federal programs and agendas on air quality, climate change, climate impacts on wildlife, and many similar topics related to the Obama war on fossil fuels.
The activists also testified before Congress and lobbied intensively behind the scenes on these issues.
Between 2000 and 2013, EPA also paid the American Lung Association well over $20 million, and lavished over $180 million on its Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee members, to support agency positions.
Chesapeake energy gave the Sierra Club $26 million to advance its Beyond Coal campaign. Russia gave generously to anti-fracking, climate change and related “green” efforts.....

Obama chained State watchdog while Clinton sent emails | WashingtonExaminer.com

Obama chained State watchdog while Clinton sent emails | WashingtonExaminer.com:

"President Obama made sure there was no official watchdog supervising the State Department while Hillary Clinton was secretly sending her emails using a private server.

The president has a duty to appoint independent inspectors general at every federal agency, but Obama left the position vacant at the State Department throughout Clinton's entire four-year tenure.

The White House has deflected responsibility for more than a week for Clinton's use of private emails while she was secretary of state.

But Obama bears direct responsibility for a lax ethics environment that may have allowed Clinton to work without any real oversight, government accountability groups say."

Unions and a Complicit Media in Pro-Paid Sick Time Campaign

Unions and a Complicit Media in Pro-Paid Sick Time Campaign [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"An orchestrated campaign promoting a bill to impose a paid sick leave mandate on most Michigan employers has the fingerprints of labor unions and a pollster with direct connections to the Michigan Democratic Party and legislators, and is being aided by a complicit media whose stories play down the potentially costly consequences.
...Michigan Radio did a story that focused on a poll that found a large majority of respondents were in favor of paid sick leave.
However, the poll wasn’t available on the polling firm’s website, Denno Research. 
Instead, it appears to have been released via the far-left website Eclectablog, which is operated by Chris Savage, the current chair of the Washtenaw County Democratic Party.
...A commenter on the Michigan Radio story posted, “Gotta love Michigan Radio … poll shows strong support for free beer and pizza ….. the parasitical leftists never ever quench their thirst for their neighbors money.”
...The story that included the Denno Research poll was nearly 300 words. Yet the story didn’t quote any opponents to the policy and had just this sentence regarding the opposition: “Some opponents say they are against across-the-board mandates, and others argue paid sick leave can hurt job creation....”

VIDEO: Senator Issues Stark Warning Iran Leaders Saying Obama Deal Won’t Last:

"A letter to Iran’s leadership write by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and signed by 47 Senators thus far, is getting plenty of pushback from the White House, Democrats, and liberal news media outlets.  In the letter, Cotton warns the Iranian regime that any deal it signs with President Barack Obama could be voided by the next president if it is not ratified by the Senate, as required by law under the U.S. Constitution."

End the Ethanol Rip-Of

End the Ethanol Rip-Off - NYTimes.com:
"WITH the collapse in global oil prices, members of Congress are once again pushing to raise the federal gasoline tax, with the proceeds going to new roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects. While some in Congress might be averse to a tax increase of any kind, they might find it more palatable if it came packaged with a tax cut.
Fortunately, there is a perfect option, a hidden levy that has benefited a small group of farmers and manufacturers in a handful of states: the corn ethanol tax.
The tax is hidden because, on paper, it appears as a clean-energy mandate. 
Federal law currently requires fuel retailers to blend about 13 billion gallons of corn ethanol per year into the gasoline they sell to the public, making the gas more expensive. 
This year, that mandate, known as the Renewable Fuel Standard, will impose about $10 billion in additional fuel costs on motorists.
...In December 2014, the rack price of a gallon of ethanol was $2.40, while a gallon of unleaded gasoline was $1.73. 
But recall that we need 1.5 gallons of ethanol to match the energy contained in a gallon of gasoline. 
That means you would need to pay about $3.60 to get the same amount of energy as from a gallon of gasoline, making ethanol about twice as expensive."

Bill Whittle: The Leader of the Free World isn’t Obama

Bill Whittle: The Leader of the Free World isn’t Obama | FrontPage Magazine
THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD
He’s the Leader of the Free World, elected by a civilized nation: militarily powerful because of, and not in spite of, it’s cultural commitment to science and art and medicine.
Although he spent much of his early life overseas, the Leader of the Free World grew up in the Northeast, and graduated from Harvard University.
That he has a deep and abiding love for America is self-evident: he admires our energy, our inventiveness; our decency and kindness; our innate friendliness and charity. 
He loves our culture; he admires our private sector which generates so much innovation. 
And the Leader of the Free World admires and respects our vast military power, and the restraint which it is used – to him, it is indeed the Arsenal of Democracy.
And even though he has grown up the victim of bigotry and hatred, the Leader of the Free World loves America, even though slurs are applied to him still today.
In spite of all that, he loves everything she stands for.
 ...One of them is, anyway. Which one, I wonder?
You know, the internet has a wisdom all its own.
Taking a snapshot of both these men in their youth, someone wrote:
Obama smoked Ganja; Netanyahu smoked terrorists.
Just a casual read of Dreams From My Father – and how it was written – show the President of the United States to have been a lazy, boastful, vain, disrespectful, sullen, pot-smoking narcissist who played basketball at the most exclusive private school in Hawaii, got high kicking back on the beach, and repeatedly blew off his book deadline after having spent the huge advance money. 
...THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD – you know, the chickenshit one — rescues his people when they are held hostage – PERSONALLY rescues them – and stands arm in arm with world leaders against the endless, savage, Islamic murders of Jews and all civilized people.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES goes golfing while hostages are being murdered – PERSONALLY goes golfing – and will not so much say the words “Islamic Terrorists” or “Jews” as our time for chickenshit posturing and preening runs out as fast as the nuclear centrifuges spinning in Iran

Glaciers at the NYT: The Democrats’ War on Women and Blacks

Glaciers at the NYT: The Democrats’ War on Women and Blacks | Roger L. Simon:
"When I grew up, I thought the Democratic Party was the great friend of minorities and women.
The party wanted a world of equality,
I thought.
Most people I knew believed that too.

Sorry, I was an idiot.
Here’s our contemporary world as it actually exists: Ayaan Hirsi Ali — a woman who has had a clitoridectomy and has had literally hundreds of death threats, maybe thousands, risking her life daily fighting the horrible mistreatment of her sex under Islamic Sharia — has her honorary degree withheld by Brandeis University while Hillary Clinton — the putative Democratic Party nominee (still, I guess) for president — takes multimillion dollar donations from Saudi Arabia, where women aren’t even allowed to drive."

Bret Stephens: Ferguson, Lies and Statistics

Bret Stephens: Ferguson, Lies and Statistics - WSJ:
"Darren Wilson has been exonerated, again, in last August’s shooting death of Michael Brown, and that ought to be as much a vindication for the onetime Ferguson, Mo., police officer as it is a teachable moment for the rest of America.
It won’t be.
The story line has failed, so the statistics have been put to work.
That the claims made against Mr. Wilson were doubtful should have been clear within days of Brown’s death, and again in November after a grand jury, having heard from some 60 witnesses, declined to indict the officer—an outcome one outraged commentator denounced as having “openly and shamelessly mocked our criminal justice system and laid bare the inequality of our criminal jurisprudence.”
Yet if anyone was openly and shamelessly mocking the criminal-justice system, it was so much of the media itself, credulously accepting or sanctimoniously promoting the double fable of Ferguson: that a “gentle giant” had been capriciously slain by a trigger-happy cop; and that a racist justice system stood behind that cop.
At least half that fable was put to rest last week by an exhaustive Justice Department report.
It demolishes the lie that Brown was shot in the back, along with the lie that he was surrendering to Mr. Wilson, hands in the air, when he was shot.
It confirms that Brown physically assaulted the officer, who had good grounds to fear for his life.
And it confirms that eyewitnesses either lied to investigators or refused to be interviewed out of fear of local vigilantes.
“Witness 109 claimed to have witnessed the shooting, stated that it was justified, and repeatedly refused to give formal statements to law enforcement for fear of reprisal should the Canfield Drive neighborhood find out that his account corroborated Wilson.”
Witness 113 “gave an account that generally corroborated Wilson, but only after she was confronted with statements she initially made in an effort to avoid neighborhood backlash. . . . She explained to the FBI that ‘You’ve gotta live the life to know it,’ and stated that she feared offering an account contrary to the narrative reported by the media that Brown held his hands up in surrender.”
Now there’s a story for the media:
A community in which honest people can’t tell the truth for fear of running afoul local thugs enforcing “the narrative reported by the media.”
Or is that more of a story about the media...?

Obama Knew All About Hillary's E-mail - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Obama Knew All About Hillary's E-mail - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"But now it turns out that the press secretary, Josh Earnest, admits that Hillary Clinton and Obama did indeed exchange e-mails while she was in the Regime. Josh Earnest said, "The president -- I think as many people expected -- did, over the course of his first several years in office, trade e-mails with his secretary of state. But the number wasn't large." That's kind of like, "Yeah, I smoked, but I didn't inhale." It was never believable that Obama didn't know that Hillary was using a private server.

In fact, I'm gonna offer you a little analogy. You know who else was using a private server for e-mails? General David Petraeus. And you know what was happening in those private e-mails? He was conducting a relationship with his paramour, with his mistress, Paula Broadwell. The way they did it, is they had a common Gmail e-mail account, and they used the drafts folder to communicate with each other. They didn't ever send each other any actual e-mails.

Whenever they wanted to communicate, they would just compose a draft of an e-mail, not send it, and put it in the drafts folder. And then they would each log into the Gmail account and read whatever was in the drafts folder, and they would each find the latest note from one to the other. None of them had ever been sent. They did this to keep it on the down low. But here's the thing. The Regime knew. The Regime knew, and they held it. They didn't tell Petraeus that they knew."

“Our committee will then call her to appear before the Committee in a public hearing to answer questions specifically regarding Libya and the Benghazi terrorist attacks that took the lives of our four brave fellow citizens,” he added.

Gowdy released a statement just minutes after Clinton argued that she has no further work emails on her private server, and that she didn’t save the remaining personal emails that were left. Clinton strongly hinted that she would resist attempts by Republicans to crack open that server and look for other Benghazi-related emails.

But Gowdy said it’s not up to her to decide what emails can be seen or not seen, and that she needs to give the server to a third party to make those decisions."

"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that she’s already sent all the work-related emails that she wrote and received through her private server to the State Department, and that she destroyed all remaining private emails.

Clinton spoke at a hastily arranged press briefing at the United Nations in New York, after several days of scrutiny about possible emails related to the 2012 Benghazi attack or other issues that she may not have sent to the State Department. But she said she has not broken any State Department rule, and that the government now has every work email she ever wrote."

"Glenn Beck has made no secret of his belief that the world is headed for World War III, and recently released a video highlighting the similarities between present-day Russia and Germany just before World War II. He said the two countries have followed the same “fascist playbook.”

“The escalating violent military conflict between Russia and Ukraine is deeply troubling, but it’s also deeply familiar,” Beck said. “The last time the world saw military aggression like this, it ended in global war and tens of millions dead. The similarities between now and then are striking.”

High School AP History Guide Calls Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas A Member of the Ku Klux Klan

High School AP History Guide Calls Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas A Member of the Ku Klux Klan | John Hawkins' Right Wing News
In yet another example of how the extreme, un-American, hate-filled left has fully taken over our system of miseducation, an advanced placement history guide has been found claiming that African American Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is in the same class as the Ku Klux Klan.

It’s an example of how our school system needs to be torn down and rebuilt as an American institution instead of the left-wing indoctrination center it is now.

Eric Owens has the story today…

The latest version of a top-selling study guide for the Advanced Placement European History exam explains the French Revolution with a chart which identifies Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a fascist and pairs him with the Ku Klux Klan.

“Barron’s AP European History” (7th edition) makes the claim, intended for consumption by American high school students, on page 168. The chart attempts to compare modern American political affiliations with the various factions involved in the French Revolution.

The chart moves politically from left to right.

The far right of the chart is labeled “fascist.” The authors demonstrate modern-day “fascists” by pairing “Clarence Thomas and the KKK” in the same box.

Here are some photos of the guide showing the section Owens reported about:

Sadly we can blame ourselves for the failure that our schools have become. 
For nearly 100 years we conservatives have totally ignored our schools abandoning them to the far, far left that has had designs to destroy America one student at a time since the turn of the 1900s.

It’s no wonder we’ve lost America since every year kids are disgorged by the millions from schools as good little anti-American socialists and attend schools where they never even hear a pro-American word.

We can’t start turning this society around until we re-invest conservatism in our schools and begin to teach why America is great to our kids.
