A practical application of the classic word 'antidisestablishmentarianism'
A practical application of the classic word 'antidisestablishmentarianism'
"When we were teenagers, a smart childhood friend taught me how to spell antidisestablishmentarianism.
I did not understand at the time what this word meant, other than it was just anti-something, and that generally worked for a teenager.
...In that article, Mr. Hunt went on to say the current-day establishmentarians are the progressive liberals pushing more government controls and higher taxes, and the disestablishmentarians are the current-day Tea Party agitators.
...Mr. Hunt concluded in 2010 that the Tea Partiers were disestablishmentarians, much like our nation's founders.
Fast-forward to the present day...
The present-day liberals and progressives openly attack anything relating to the founding of this country, in an effort to aggregate enough votes to elect persons who will then secretly make changes to our laws, courts, and institutions.
Examples of the present-day antidisestablishmentarianism include:
These recent actions do not appear to be promoting policies that would improve our free society..."

Examples of the present-day antidisestablishmentarianism include:

- Openly attacking established religions, including Catholics, Jews, and Protestants.
- Openly opposing our military and policies that protect our borders and the safety of our citizens.
- Openly opposing free enterprise and the freedoms to create success and wealth.
- Openly opposing the teaching of our country's founding history.
- Openly opposing the right to bear arms and working to restrict people from having guns that can protect them from evildoers.
- Openly opposing past successful learning regimens and policies in our public schools, creating the present downfall in public education.
- Openly promoting universal health care and higher education, without considering how these "free" services are to be funded.
- Openly promoting unlimited immigration and not requiring new immigrants to learn English or to abide by existing U.S. laws.
- Openly promoting false reporting in support of specific ideologies.

These 27 Universities Bought Body Parts From Aborted Babies for Grisly Research | LifeNews.com:
Their dual roles mean not only that clinics gain the services of some top medical school faculty, but that medical schools are desensitized to the fundamental contradiction of medical care and abortion, which kills, not heals. Their core principles corrupted, they go so far as to send out their residents for training at these clinics, learning to perform late term abortions, and perhaps even learning the in and outs of the fetal tissue procurement business.
This can’t be what medical schools, many of them state supported, are supposed to be teaching.
Connected to Fetal Tissue
The list of universities on the list of those ordering and using fetal tissue for research contains the names of some of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the country: Baylor, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Ohio State, Stanford, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Miami, Vanderbilt, Yale, and many others.

Carbon Taxes: Lessons from Canada | National Review
Carbon Taxes: Lessons from Canada | National Review
"Promises of revenue neutrality don’t survive contact with the real world.
Hey America,
It’s Canada, your friendly neighbor to the north.
You might remember us — there’s a big white wall between our properties.
But only in winter.
Anyway, we couldn’t help but notice you seem to be having a bit of bother over carbon taxes these days.
At the risk of intruding, we thought we might offer a few neighborly observations.
You see, we’ve had the same issue in our house for a few years now.
On your side of the fence, the Climate Leadership Council’s plan — recently backed by 27 Nobel Prize–winning economists and other economic luminaries — calls for a nationwide tax starting at $40 a ton on carbon dioxide emissions, on efficiency grounds. (All figures in U.S. dollars.)
It vows that “the majority of American families . . . will benefit financially by receiving more in ‘carbon dividends’ than they pay in increased energy prices.”
A tax that pays you sure sounds appealing!
But a word of caution:
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Up here in Canada, we’ve been burned by the same promise..."

Shhhhhhh! It's Communist Party USA's 100th anniversary - WND
Shhhhhhh! It's Communist Party USA's 100th anniversary - WND:
What’s the party organ’s top news story today? It’s not Russia collusion, it’s a conspiracy tale about how Trump is behind the National Enquirer’s sleazy attack on the richest man in the world – Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and the owner of the Washington Post.
Why is that not a surprise? Maybe it’s because mega-corporations like Amazon aren’t as bad as Trump in the eyes of the new Communists. The party apparently likes the spin offered up by Paul Shearon, president of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, who recently explained: “We represent people in the private sector. None of their bosses are as bad as this.”
The party has many other new heroes, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and, yes, even Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
It’s something to behold.

Somewhere, Brett Kavanaugh is laughing into his Budweiser.
I know I am, except it’s Dos Equis.
But this hilarity does bring up something serious we need to consider on the conservative side.
We need to prepare for the next time some Republican gets besieged by SJW witch-burners, and be ready with our response to their unwarranted demands for his/her/xir’s head.
Our response should be, “Go pound sand.”
Now, that’s not necessarily the phraseology we should use.

Another View, with Steve Goreham: The overlooked error with biomass | Columnists | unionleader.com
"WHEN THOMAS EDISON established his Pearl Street power plant in New York City in 1892, he used coal for fuel, not wood.
Wood fuel could not compete with the cost of coal in 1892 and it still can’t today.
Nevertheless, burning of biomass is widely regarded as sustainable and promoted as a solution for climate change, especially in Europe.
...Since 2000, Europe’s biomass consumption for energy production is up 84 percent.
For example, biomass fuel produced 18 percent of Denmark’s electricity in 2017.
For the last two decades, Denmark has been reducing coal-fired power-plant output, but adding biomass-powered plants.
...But the use of biomass fuel for electricity in Denmark increased by a factor of five, almost exactly replacing the decline in coal output.
About three-quarters of the biomass consumed by Denmark is wood, with most of it imported.
But the “sustainability” of biomass is questionable, despite the childish notion that if you grow it, it must be sustainable.
Burning wood emits more carbon dioxide than burning coal..."

Plummeting insect numbers 'threaten collapse of nature' | Environment | The Guardian: - Exclusive: Insects could vanish within a century at current rate of decline, says global review
The world’s insects are hurtling down the path to extinction, threatening a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review.
More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found.
The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles. The total mass of insects is falling by a precipitous 2.5% a year, according to the best data available, suggesting they could vanish within a century..."

"Officials in Portland, Ore. recently estimated it will cost $640 million over the next 10 years in order to help adequately prevent homelessness in the area, but a report out this week shows that many citizens from the City of Roses have simply resorted to calling the police on unwanted vagrants.
In fact, authorities say that more any other problem, residents are calling the emergency hotline to complain about homeless people even when immediate danger is not present.
Katie Shepherd of the Willamette Week reports that the Portland Police Bureau receives a call from the public on average every 15 minutes per day to complain about an unsheltered person who "frightens or inconveniences them."

How Obama Secretly Gave Iran Access To Billions Of Dollars — And Also Enabled Terrorism

"Iran: One of the linchpins of former President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran was that it would be accompanied by a near-ban on Iran having any access to the U.S. banking system.
A new congressional report says that, too, was a lie.
Obama and his officials at the Treasury Department and State Department were clear: They would work assiduously to freeze out Iran from getting dollars to fund its mischief and mayhem around the world.
The Associated Press, puts it this way: "As the Treasury and State Department worked behind the scenes to help Iran access the dollar, the message to Congress remained the same: The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) did not allow Iran to access the U.S. financial system."
Obama sent a clear message to Congress: If you don't block this nuclear deal, we will bar Iran's access to our financial system.
The deal was clear, unequivocal.
It was also a lie.
Obama lied, and so did others in his administration.
That's the conclusion of a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
It alleges Obama officials pushed the U.S. Treasury to let Iran convert the equivalent of $5.7 billion of funds held in Oman's Bank of Muscat from rials into dollars and subsequently into euros..."

NASA extreme low sunspot counts indicate global cooling onset
NASA extreme low sunspot counts indicate global cooling onset
...As the Earth was completing Solar Cycle 24, sunspot counts and magnetic activity were expected cyclically to fall from a high of over 100 in 2014 to a low of zero in 2022.
But the sunspot count plunged to zero in mid-2018 and has remained substantially lower than forecast for Solar Cycle 25.
The data could indicate onset of a super-cycle "Maunder Minimum."
The last Maunder Minimum period from 1645 to 1715 was a period with 7 percent less sunspots and global cooling, referred to as the "Little Ice Age."
The Little Ice Age altered atmospheric circulation patterns across northern Europe, resulting in widespread crop failures, famine, disease, and increased child mortality.
London's Thames River froze over most years during the period.
Martin Mlynczak of NASA's Langley Research Center reported in September: "High above Earth's surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy.
If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold."...

Snopes LIES. Here is Proof That Snopes.com is FAKE NEWS.
Snopes LIES. Here is Proof That Snopes.com is FAKE NEWS.
"The “fact checking” website Snopes.com has come under considerable fire during the last few months and for good reason.
"The “fact checking” website Snopes.com has come under considerable fire during the last few months and for good reason.
As many publications have noted, while Snopes pretends to be a neutral site looking only for the true facts, many of its writers, and the actual owners, lean a little bit to the left when they walk down the street.
It has also become painfully obvious more and more of the “true” stories support a liberal agenda whereas most of the stories that would support the right tend to be considered “fake news” by the “neutral” publication.
After doing some digging on various websites, I believe The Angry Patriot has found ample proof that Snopes is indeed FAKE NEWS!
1 – The first reason is not so much reason as it is a suspicion. Liberal Facebook is all of a sudden deciding it wants to monitor the news to ensure its members are getting only REAL news. Now, Facebook’s leadership is notoriously left-wing oriented, so it would make sense it would find a left-friendly “fact-checking” website to back its own agenda.
...10 – Snopes also debunked a story that we and several other publications ran that claimed, “Hillary Clinton successfully defended an accused child rapist and later laughed about the case.” While they conceded that Hillary did in fact defend him, what they proved false has nothing at all to do with the case.
Snopes’ debunking gave this specific reason for the Mostly False rating: “Hillary Clinton did not volunteer to be the defendant’s lawyer, she did not laugh about the case’s outcome, she did not assert that the complainant ‘made up the rape story,’ she did not claim she knew the defendant to be guilty, and she did not ‘free’ the defendant.”
Now, as far as I can tell, that “False” claim has nothing to do with the actual claim of Hillary defending the rapist. The rating should have been TRUE because she did defend him, AND she did laugh about it while doing an interview with Roy Reed in the 1980s.
The moment of the laugh came when she was describing the case where she stated, “It was a fascinating case. The guy was accused of raping a 12-year-old. Of course, he claimed that he didn’t. He took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs.” And then she laughed.
This is not fake news folks — listen to it for yourself…
Again, I am no legal expert, but that sure does sound like an admission of someone who once defended a man for raping a 12-year-old girl, knowing he was guilty, and then laughing about it, yet Snopes still decided the original claim was “Mostly False.”...

Study: Trump's Obamacare Reforms Will Save Americans $450 Billion | Breitbart:
A White House study released on Friday found that President Donald Trump’s Obamacare reforms will save Americans roughly $450 billion over the next ten years.
A White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) study released on Friday found that Americans will save $450 billion through Trump’s Obamacare reforms. The CEA suggested that Trump’s repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate and the expansion of short-term insurance plans and Association Health Plans (AHPs) will save Americans billions over the next ten years.

The Hijacking of a Presidential Election
The Hijacking of a Presidential Election
"...What’s interesting is that Clinton beat Trump by more votes in California than she did nationwide, precisely 1,401,287 more votes.
Though Trump’s claim that illegal voting threw the popular vote to Clinton is sheer speculation, we can say that if we exclude California that Trump did in fact win the popular vote in the rest of the nation, and by exactly 1,401,287 votes.
...Government officials have assured us that Russians did not change the vote counts in 2016. Elections are conducted by the states, and each state has its own separate election system, so changing the votes would be enormously difficult.
And besides, “there is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralized.”
We were told this by no less than Obama Himself, (so it must be true).
Obama fails to see the obvious.
If the Russians wanted to throw the popular vote to Trump in 2016, all they would have needed to change is the popular vote in just one state, California with its 55 electoral votes… not the entire country.
Trump could have even lost his three “blue wall” states and still have won had he gotten California, and he’d have had an even greater total at 313 electoral votes.
...One of the safeguards to ensuring the integrity of the popular vote is voter registration.
But the states are failing at this important task.

The Difference in How Socialism and Free Markets Work in the Real World
The Difference in How Socialism and Free Markets Work in the Real World:
If the future of the nation were a function of logic, then conservatives would have a very easy job.
No debate would be needed, really. In the choice between the two competing models Judeo-Christian civilization has given us, with socialist arguments for “big government” on the one side and a market-oriented system that favors the freedoms of the individual over the powers of the state on the other, there would be no contest.
In fact, it would indeed be a formal “no contest,” as only one of the models has ever been realized in the real world in which we live.
