She makes up her own "60%" lie!-----Mayor Loses It When Ted Cruz Exposes Chicago Gun Violence

Mayor Loses It When Ted Cruz Exposes Chicago Gun Violence
"It's totally understandable that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is touchy about gun violence in her city. 
The city is a shooting gallery with citizens little more than clay pigeons.

Last weekend was a typical holiday weekend in Chicago: 7 dead, 41 shot. 
Lightfoot's answer to the violence? 
More gun control, of course.

Senator Ted Cruz tweeted a response to that idea:

Gun control doesn’t work. Look at Chicago. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer. Stopping violent criminals—prosecuting & getting them off the street—BEFORE they commit more violent crimes is the most effective way to reduce murder rates. Let’s protect our citizens. https://twitter.com/BreitbartNews/status/1168272622209163270 …

At least 25 people were shot, seven fatally, during the first half of Labor Day Weekend in Democrat-controlled Chicago. https://trib.al/xcy08IX 

The comment struck a nerve with Lightfoot -- not just because Cruz is right, but because of who he is: a pro-gun, Republican conservative.
Lightfoot lost it.

60% of illegal firearms recovered in Chicago come from outside IL—mostly from states dominated by coward Republicans like you who refuse to enact commonsense gun legislation. Keep our name out of your mouth. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1168602589254029313 …

"Keep our name out of your mouth"? 

Cruz didn't tweet anything revolutionary. 

All he did was point out the obvious: gun laws don't affect the ease with which criminals can get their hands on a weapon..."

The sheer insanity of the 'transgender' fad | The Bridgehead

The sheer insanity of the 'transgender' fad | The Bridgehead
"Feminism rebelled against reality. 
Transgenderism seeks to abolish it entirely. 
But the feminists and the gender ideologues are beginning to realize that their worldviews don’t line up very nicely.

It seems as if our culture doesn’t quite understand just how radical the transgender fad actually is—or how genuinely insulting it is to women. 

When debates fired up across social media over whether or not a certain man who began identifying as a woman could be called a woman about a year ago, I remember one comment in particular. 

An angry woman demanded to know if a man in a dress – or even a man with a sex change – could understand menstrual cramps, pregnancy, or dozens of other things women experience. The answer, of course, was no. 

But the woman was pronounced a transphobe anyway, for not affirming that a cross-dresser was just like her..."

Holi crapoli!-----NASA - Next solar cycle will be weakest in 200 years - Ice Age Now

NASA - Next solar cycle will be weakest in 200 years - Ice Age Now
"NASA dropped this bombshell announcement in a little-heralded news release coyly entitled “Solar Activity Forecast for Next Decade Favorable for Exploration.” 
In other words, NASA tried to make it sound like good news.

In the release, dated 12 June 2019, NASA described the upcoming decline in solar activity as a window of opportunity for space exploration instead of acknowledging the disastrous consequences such a decline could wreak on civilization.

Here are some direct quotes from the news release:

The Sun’s activity rises and falls in an 11-year cycle. The forecast for the next solar cycle says it will be the weakest of the last 200 years.(Emphasis added)..

In admitting that solar activity during sunspot-cycle 25 could be the weakest in 200 years, NASA was effectively forecasting a return to Dalton Minimum (1790-1830) conditions. 
But the release gives

• no mention of the ferocious cold, 
• no mention of the disastrous crop losses, 
• no mention of the ensuing starvation and famine, 
• no mention of the wars over food, 
• no mention of the powerful earthquakes, 
• no mention of the catastrophic volcanic eruptions during the Dalton Minimum. 
• We’re talking about massive earthquakes such as the 1811-12 New Madrid Fault earthquakes, which caused the Mississippi River to run backward, created Reelfoot Lake, and rang church bells in Boston.
• We’re talking about killer volcanic events such as the massive 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. 
• The following year, 1816, is variously known as “The Year Without a Summer,” “The ‘Poverty Year,’ and ‘Eighteen Hundred and Froze To Death.’[1] Even though average global temperatures fell only 0.4–0.7 °C (0.72–1.26 °F), the resultant volcanic winter brought major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere.[3]

And they tell us "it's for the people".

Former FBI deputy director and CNN analyst Andrew McCabe will be the keynote speaker at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Pennsylvania in September.
News of McCabe’s invitation to headline the Lancaster County Democrats’ annual fall banquet comes as the Justice Department considers whether to indict the 21-year FBI veteran for lying to the bureau about authorizing leaks to the media in October 2016.

"Miracle in the Maize"

Birds - 1, Airbus - 0

"Once again, those pesky birds have brought down another jetliner, similar to the Miracle on the Hudson more than ten years ago. In this case, a Russian jetliner (only moments after departure) ingested birds into both engines of the Airbus 321 causing the airplane to lose power. At such a low altitude, there were very few options. The captain, with more than 3,000 hours of flight time and an Honors Graduate from his aviation school, spotted a nearby cornfield and made a picture perfect approach and landing. Given the soft terrain, his decision to keep the landing gears retracted allowed the fuselage of the aircraft to remain intact and lessened the extent of the onboard injuries. The 41 year-old captain then went on to apologize to the passengers, for failing to get them to their destination. Of the 226 passengers and 7 crew members, 23 required medical attention and only one is listed as serious. Given the nature of the event, coupled with a fully fueled aircraft, the low number of injuries is already being called a miracle as it could have been much worse. This "Miracle in the Maize" will certainly be reviewed and used to train pilots around the world for a dual-engine bird strike scenario. Nicely done!"

NRA: 'Shameful' Seeing Walmart Cave to 'Anti-Gun Elites':

The strongest defense of freedom has always been our free-market economy. It is shameful to see Walmart succumb to the pressure of the anti-gun elites. Lines at Walmart will soon be replaced by lines at other retailers who are more supportive of America’s fundamental freedoms.

"Atlantic hurricane activity is notoriously variable, not only from year to year, but decade to decade.

In fact, based upon studies of overwash sediments in coastal lakes stretching from the Florida panhandle to eastern Louisiana, it appears that the period from 1,000 to 3,800 years ago had a considerably higher incidence of Category 4 & 5 hurricanes than in the last 1,000 years. 
These are admittedly indirect, proxy estimates, but if you read this American Scientist article, it sounds like the researchers have pretty strong evidence.

Why would major hurricane activity vary so much? ...

"We have chronicled Venezuela’s descent into medieval levels of poverty and tyranny for several years now. 
But President Maduro enjoys, for the moment, the support of Venezuela’s military, so opponents are jailed, tortured and murdered, and the disastrous Chavez/Maduro regime hangs on by its fingernails, while millions of Venezuelans flee to non-socialist countries.

What happens in the last stages of democratic socialism? 
For one thing, diseases that have long been banished from the civilized (non-socialist) world make a comeback.

Whoopi Goldberg Shreds Debra Messing Over Blacklisting Trump Supporters | The Daily Caller:

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg spoke out against actress Debra Messing Tuesday after she encouraged listing supporters of President Donald Trump who work in Hollywood.
“This is not a good idea, okay? Your idea of who you don’t want to work with is your personal business. Do not encourage people to print out lists because the next list that comes out, your name will be on, and then people will be coming after you!” Goldberg said.
