Subterranean blues: NYC subway breakdowns drive riders nuts - ABC News

Subterranean blues: NYC subway breakdowns drive riders nuts - ABC News:
"New York, New York is a wonderful town, but people riding in a hole in the ground are at their wits end over the power outages, signal problems and other breakdowns that have turned the city's aging subway system into a horror show.
The stress of a crumbling system with more passengers than ever — 5.6 million weekly in 2016 — has caused the number of train delays to triple during the past five years, to 70,000 per month.
Numbers, though, don't tell the story as well as videos circulating on the Internet of passengers desperately clawing at the doors of a subway car, trying to wedge it open after it crawled into a station this week.
They had been trapped for 45 minutes inside the stalled train with no lights or no ventilation and heat rising to the point that the windows fogged up, and sweltering passengers took off most of their clothes..."

20 New Science Papers Find Climate is Driven by Solar Changes | Principia Scientific International
"Earlier this month, the first installment in the accumulating list of hundreds of new peer-reviewed scientific papers supporting a skeptical position on climate change alarm was made available. Included on the list were 38 papers linking climate changes to solar forcing: 38 Sun-Climate Scientific Papers, January-March 2017
Just in the last few weeks alone, another 20 scientific papers were identified which link solar variations to climate changes, which means 58 papers have already been published in 2017.

High Solar Activity (Warming), High Crop Yields – Low Solar Activity (Cooling), Low Crop Yields

---

1. Huhtamaa and Helama, 2017

"...The continuous period of high crop yields coincides with an episode of multi-centennial summer season warmth, associated with the MCA [Medieval Climate Anomaly] in the region and around north-west Europe (Goosse et al., 2012; Luoto and Helama, 2010; Ogilvie et al., 2000; Sundqvist et al., 2010). 
The warm climatic regime of the MCA was interrupted by a period of distinctly cold winter and summer temperatures c. ad 1110– 1150 (Helama et al., 2009b; Linderholm et al., 2015; Tiljander et al., 2003). Also on the eastern side of the study area, in North-West Russia, c. ad 950–1100 was marked by a warmer climate and intensive agricultural expansion to the north (Klimenko, 2016).”

Chicago protest against Sharia law outnumbered by counter-protesters - Chicago Tribune

Chicago protest against Sharia law outnumbered by counter-protesters - Chicago Tribune
"A small but emotional rally billed as opposing Islamic Sharia law downtown Saturday sparked a counter-protest nearly twice as large, causing a phalanx of police officers to act as a barrier between the two groups to prevent any fights.
About 30 people gathered at northwest corner of Wacker Drive and Wabash Avenue,  carrying signs that read “No killing Gays” and “Sharia abuses women.”
The group was split into two factions.
One group of protesters along Wabash Avenue hoped to bring awareness to specific Sharia practices they claimed oppressed Muslim women and children.
They wanted to distance themselves from what they said was a more “radical” faction –protesters gathered near the Heald Square Monument, whose anti-Muslim rhetoric was met with anger and frustration by counter-protesters.
Those who led the counter-protest, which included about 60 people, said the anti-Sharia protesters demonized Islam and created unnecessary fears about the religion.
The counter-protesters gathered on the northeast side of the intersection, banging drums and crying out “Racists, racists go home!” and “When Muslims are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!”
When they realized the anti-Sharia protest was growing in numbers, counter-protesters crossed the intersection and moved onto their corner, so that the two groups were demonstrating face-to-face.
...The Southern Poverty Law Center has called Act for America an anti-Muslim hate group and recognized that its protests were attracting anti-government and far-right extremists..."

On Display In Russia Hearings, Democrats' Trump-Hatred Is Worthy Of Captain Ahab | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

On Display In Russia Hearings, Democrats' Trump-Hatred Is Worthy Of Captain Ahab | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:

"As Comey's testimony neared, CNN launched near-nonstop coverage. Other media jumped in, wondering what nasty revelations the fired former FBI director might spill. The week started out promising: CNN reported on Tuesday that Comey would "refute Trump's assertion that Trump was told he was not under investigation." So did ABC.

Unfortunately, Comey made it clear that he told Trump he was not under investigation, multiple times. CNN and ABC were forced to retract their phony reports.
They weren't the only media with egg on their faces."

John Derbyshire: Corbyn Crazy–But Shows Anti-Establishment Fury Still Rising | VDARE - premier news outlet for patriotic immigration reform:
"The really striking feature of the June 8 U.K. election was the relative success of the Labour Party under its leader Jeremy Corbyn.

This crazy old Lefty, who never saw a commie dictator or an anti-British terrorist he didn’t want to kiss up to, and who won the endorsement of the British Communist Party for Thursday’s election, somehow got forty percent of Brits to vote for him, five days after anti-British terrorists ran amok in the nation’s capital. 
What’s up with that?
To a person of my generation, who grew up in the Cold War, visited European communist countries, and lived for a year in communist China, Corbyn’s affection for the twentieth century’s greatest political blight is incomprehensible. ...And a lot of people who were not registered to vote, did so. 
Most of these were young voters registering for the first time, and again they leaned heavily towards Labour..."

“My hometown (Utica) is gone” « Refugee Resettlement Watch

“My hometown (Utica) is gone” « Refugee Resettlement Watch
"In recent months I’ve wondered if voluntarily devoting ten years to writing this blog has been worth it—my tenth anniversary is coming up in 3 weeks—but when I see a story like this where someone has the guts (and the first hand knowledge!) to say what is happening in cities being “Islamized,” with the help of the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program, I get the energy to go on.

Read the 2005 UN propaganda report used to entice (embarrass) other cities into ‘welcoming’ refugees. http://www.unhcr.org/publications/refugeemag/426f4c772/refugees-magazine-issue-138-town-loves-refugees.html

...Here are a few snips from former Utica resident, Loretta Brady, writing at Thermidor.

But, please read the whole thing!

Hi! 
This is a blog post I threw together in response to the recent increase in refugee numbers by Trump’s State Department, in order to convey what it is like living in an Islamizing area. 
I gave a talk at a luncheon a few months ago that was basically relating my story of how my hometown has been Islamized by refugee resettlement. 
So it makes sense to do a blog post.

I’m from the Utica, NY area. Utica is the city nicknamed by the UN “the city that loves refugees!” 
Soon every American city will be a city that loves refugees! Get ready! 
So I would like to tell you what it is like living in an area where the major city is about 25% (or more) refugee, mainly Muslim..."

'This is war': Florida sheriff urges citizens to arm themselves in case of attack | Fox News

'This is war': Florida sheriff urges citizens to arm themselves in case of attack | Fox News:
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. –  A Florida sheriff’s office posted a controversial message on social media, urging citizens to arm themselves in self-defense.

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey posted the video on Facebook Wednesday, two days after a deadly workplace shooting in nearby Orlando claimed the lives of five people.

“Folks, now more than ever is the time for our citizens to be prepared to serve as the first line of defense, not only for them, but for their families,” Sheriff Ivey said...

“What’s next is to fully understand that this is war, and you better be prepared to wage war to protect you, your family, and those around you if attacked,” he said. Ivey stressed that attackers rely on people running, hiding, and waiting for help, rather than fighting back.
“What they don’t count on is being attacked themselves, having to become defensive to save their own lives,” Ivey argued..."

Why Women Live Longer Than Men

Why Women Live Longer Than Men:
"...It’s no secret that mortality due to accidents and risky behavior is much higher in young men, particularly those in their late teenage years and early 20s.
This, by the way, is not news to insurance companies.
It’s also true that men die earlier than women, regardless of their environment or lifestyle, and are often more susceptible to some cancers and heart disease at an earlier age.
In fact, men are at a higher risk than women when it comes to most of the top 15 contributing sources of mortality in the United States—which account for nearly 80 percent of all deaths.
Evolutionary factors are clearly at play.
The question is why.
What is natural selection’s deal with men?
...As it turns out, shorter lifespans and higher male mortality risk are quite common in many species..."
