Yes, it IS hard to believe there’s no evidence — so ask the IPCC yourself | CCG

• The influence of mankind on climate is trivially true and numerically insignificant. – Dr Richard Lindzen--Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

• It’s true. They have no proof.

"So you say the science is settled, you trust 97% of climate scientists and you call me a denier. 
It’s hardly surprising and I sympathize with that view—we’ve been badgered over it for years.
But all we sceptics do is ask you, “What’s the evidence?” 
There’s no denial in that, so what’s your answer? 
If the science really is settled, what evidence is it based on? 
There’s been a tide of global warming propaganda for the last few decades, so if there was any proof we are causing dangerous warming, do you think they’d let us forget it? 
The fact that we don’t know what it is shows they don’t have any proof...
Regrettably, nobody has evidence for dangerous man-made global warming...

• I’ve asked the Royal Society to give me evidence and they gave me nothing.
• They suggested I ask the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), so I did. They’ve no evidence either.

You’ve heard that 97% of scientists agree with man-made global warming. 
But it was a fraudulent study. 
It showed the consensus consisted of only 3% of climate scientists.
I’m not the denier here. Our foremost climate authority, the IPCC, has no proof of dangerous man-made warming..."

"Offensive"?!!--National insanity!-----Don Cherry's Immigrant Comments & Canada's Highly Selective Culture of Forgiveness | National Review

Don Cherry's Immigrant Comments & Canada's Highly Selective Culture of Forgiveness | National Review
"Don Cherry is an 85-year-old former National Hockey League player and coach who became an icon of sports broadcasting in Canada, known for wildly colored sports jackets and commentary that is almost as colorful.
...his career as a sportscaster appears to have come to a crashing end, as his employer, Canadian broadcaster Sportsnet, dismissed him Monday.
Cherry’s full remarks, transcribed:
“You know, I was talking to a veteran, I said, ‘I’m not going to run the poppy thing anymore,’” Cherry began, referencing his annual Remembrance Day segment. “Because what’s the sense? I live in Mississauga, nobody wears, uh, very few people wear a poppy. Downtown Toronto, forget it. Downtown Toronto, nobody wears the poppy. And I’m not going to – and he says, ‘wait a minute. How about running it for the people that buy them?’ Now you go to the small cities. You know, those – the rows and rows – you people love – they come here, whatever it is, you love our way of life. You love our milk and honey. At least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppies or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada. These guys paid the, the biggest price for that. Anyhow, I’m going to run it again, for you great people, and good Canadians, that bought a poppy, I’m still gonna run it, anyhow.”
Many Canadians and others in U.K. Commonwealth countries wear red poppies on their lapels to mark Remembrance Day, honoring members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
...The driving spirit of most current criminal justice reform is that we’re all more than the worst thing that we have done. 
And earlier this fall, the Canadian public decided that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s multiple occasions of wearing blackface can be forgiven. 
But apparently that mercy is only available if you’re on a particular side of the political divide."

Guess Who Was Called a 'Fascist,' Back in the Day

• Bigotry. Fascism. A threat to women’s rights. Alliances with foreign dictators. A president as entertainer, trampling labor and the environment.

"It sounds like the contemporary complaints against President Trump.
Actually, it’s a 1984 newspaper advertisement from “Scholars Against the Escalating Danger of the Far Right.”
“With Ronald Reagan as its performing star in the White House, the Far Right is attempting to take over the Republican Party,” says the ad, published in the November 2, 1984, New York Times and signed by, among others, Carl Sagan, Linus Pauling, Corliss Lamont, Stephen Jay Gould, John Hope Franklin, Gloria Steinem, and Frances Fox Piven.
“Four more years of Reaganism...would see a sweeping attack on civil liberties. 
Four more years of Reaganism would also bring us closer to a nuclear Holocaust. 
Unlawful intervention in Central America threatens us with a new Vietnam,” the ad claims.
It says Reagan sought “to stifle women’s rights, including the right to legal abortion.” 
The ad says that under Reagan, “The Civil Rights Commission is anti-civil rights, the NLRB is anti-labor, the EPA is anti-environment.
The Administration champions special privileges for the elite while life for the working people, the poor and minorities deteriorates.”
“There is a scent of fascism in the air,” the ad pronounces, warning that a second Reagan term would unleash “more bigots and chauvinists.”...

Lindsey Graham: When We Find Out Whistleblower Is from the Deep State -- ‘This Thing’s Going to Stink to High Heaven’ | Breitbart:

On this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he was “confident” the whistleblower is from the “deep state.”
Graham said, “It’s impossible to bring this case forward in my view fairly without us knowing who the whistleblower is and having a chance to cross-examine them about any advice they may have, if they don’t call the whistleblower in the House, this thing is dead on arrival on the Senate.”

California hiked taxes on the rich, they left, and revenues were only half those forecast - American Experiment

• There is a large and growing body of evidence showing that taxes play a role in determining where people choose to live. 

"...Another piece of research can be added to this body of evidence. 
A new paper by economists...find that wealthy Californians were about 40% more likely to leave after the income tax hike, mostly to states without income taxes. 
They also found that these departures and other responses to increased taxes eliminated 45.2% of the revenue the state expected to get from high earners.
There is an important lesson for policymakers here. 
At present, there are a lot of spending promises being thrown around by various candidates for office with the promise that ‘the rich’ will pay for it all.

'Climate Despair' Is Making People Give Up on Life - VICE:

• "It's super painful to be a human being right now at this point in history."

"...many people are suffering from what could be called "climate despair," a sense that climate change is an unstoppable force that will render humanity extinct and renders life in the meantime futile. 
As David Wallace-Wells noted in his 2019 bestseller The Uninhabitable Earth, "For most who perceive an already unfolding climate crisis and intuit a more complete metamorphosis of the world to come, the vision is a bleak one, often pieced together from perennial eschatological imagery inherited from existing apocalyptic texts like the Book of Revelation, the inescapable sourcebook for Western anxiety about the end of the world."

NY Times: 'Tidal Wave' of Mass Immigration Hands Virginia to Democrats

NY Times: 'Tidal Wave' of Mass Immigration Hands Virginia to Democrats:

A “tidal wave” of mass immigration has “tilt(ed) the field toward the Democrats” in the state of Virginia, the New York Times admits.
Last week, Democrats took control of Virginia’s House of Delegates and the State Senate. Now, the Democrats hold power over the state’s legislature, the governor’s seat and the lieutenant governor’s seat — the first time since 1993 that this has occurred.
The New York Times now admits that four to five decades of mass immigration — where about 1.2 million legal immigrants are admitted to the United States every year — has shifted Virginia into a blue state:

UK NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE TO DENY TREATMENT TO ‘RACISTS’ AND ‘SEXISTS’

What could possibly go wrong?--By Paul Watson, Summit News, 5 November, 2019

A National Health Service (NHS) trust in the UK has announced that it will deny treatment to patients it deems are ‘racists’ or ‘sexists’.

No, this is not the Onion.

The North Bristol NHS Trust said that “threatening and offensive language,” as well as “racist or sexist language, gestures or behaviour” and “malicious allegations” would all be punishable offenses.

...Foster parents have also had children removed from their care by the state because they were supporters of UKIP and not vehement supporters of “multiculturalism.”

The University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust also ordered that the British flag be removed from security staff stab vests after one person complained that it was “offensive.”

...Literally eliminating people’s right to basic health care because of their political or social opinions..."

"The Daily Northwestern Apologizes to Students for Reporting News That Triggered Them. 
A rousing “fuck you” would have been better, but today’s students lack the courage to stand up to idiocy and bullying from their peers. 
“Activist” should be treated as a synonym for “bullying idiot,” because, well, it actually is a synonym for bullying idiot.

Plus: 
“The piece must be read in its entirety to be believed. 
It sounds like parody—something The Babylon Bee would make up for a fake article mocking progressive deference to the hypersensitive.” 
Well, the Bee has gone from a parody site to America’s newspaper of record — because leftist activists are such bullying idiots that they’re basically beyond parody.
Also: “Is this what students at the country’s most prestigious journalism school are learning these days? That self-censorship is the paper’s best practice if someone is offended by what’s happening in the world?” 
Yes. That’s exactly what they’re learning there.

"...Yale psychiatry professor Dr. Bandy X. Lee who made headlines in December 2017...said, “Lawmakers were saying they have been very concerned about this, the President’s dangerousness, the dangers that his mental instability poses on the nation. 
Now...according to the Washington Examiner, Lee and her group of experts, which she calls the “Independent Expert Panel for Presidential Fitness,” would like to appear at next week’s impeachment inquiry hearings. 
...Lee tells Leonard, “We don’t believe there is the need for any further evaluation, and we are making ourselves available for the impeachment hearing because we believe that mental health issues will become critical as pressures from the impeachment hearings mount. 

In other words, the more successful the impeachment proceedings become, the more dangerous the psychological factors of the president will become.”...

"In an Iowa State University classroom recently, students began discussing the touchy issues of abortion and birth control when a student spoke up and declared those topics to be “women’s issues.”
...According to the student, declaring abortion and birth control women-centric issues “erases trans men and people who are non-binary who get abortions and/or use birth control.”
The student then reported the professor to administration, complaining “there was no push back by the professor to get students to be more inclusive and instead repeated this erasure.”
