No. Not a record and not caused by "climate change"-----Venice mayor declares disaster as city hit with 2nd-highest tide in history - National | Globalnews.ca

Venice mayor declares disaster as city hit with 2nd-highest tide in history - National | Globalnews.ca
"Venice‘s mayor called the city a disaster zone on Wednesday after the second-highest tide ever recorded swept through it overnight, flooding its historic basilica and leaving many squares and alleyways deep under water.
...City officials said the tide peaked at 187 cm (6ft 2ins) at 10.50 p.m. on Tuesday, just short of the record 194 cm set in 1966.
...Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said the situation was dramatic. “We ask the government to help us. The cost will be high. This is the result of climate change,” he said on Twitter.
...A flood barrier was designed in 1984 to protect Venice from the kind of high tides that hit the city on Tuesday, but the multi-billion euro project, known as Mose, has been plagued by corruption scandals and is still not operative..."

"Google’s ‘Project Nightingale’ Gathers Personal Health Data on Millions of Americans.
"Don’t be silly. 
Of course patients don’t get a say.
See the source imageGoogle began Project Nightingale in secret last year with St. Louis-based Ascension, the second-largest health system in the U.S., with the data sharing accelerating since summer, according to internal documents.

The data involved in the initiative encompasses lab results, doctor diagnoses and hospitalization records, among other categories, and amounts to a complete health history, including patient names and dates of birth.

Neither patients nor doctors have been notified. At least 150 Google employees already have access to much of the data on tens of millions of patients, according to a person familiar with the matter and the documents.
Yours is not to wonder why, yours is to cough up data and die.

Related (From Ed): “It’s uncanny how closely the Western elites have come to resemble their unlamented Soviet counterparts,” Richard Fernandez tweets, regarding the suitably Orwellianly named Project Nightingale. “Mass surveillance, propaganda, special academies, secret perversions, etc. But how could it be otherwise? Power creates one face with minor variations.”---Posted by

Democrat Mazie Hirono: We Should Believe in Climate Change as If It's a Religion, Not a Science
"...These are times that call for us to do those things that we believe in, and to march, and not just to march, cause that's important to show solidarity, but then to do those things such as voter registration, get people out to vote, so that we can have people here who are truly committed to human rights, environmental rights -- climate change...believe in climate change as though it's a religion, it's not a science-- and all the things that need to be done, and there is a lot," Sen. Hirono told the crowd. 
At today’s DACA prayer breakfast, Sen. @maziehirono says we need activists “committed to human rights and environmental rights, climate change — believe in climate change as though it’s a religion (it’s not it’s science).”

BREAKING! New Evidence Confirms Kentucky Election Fraud!:
  • Non-citizens being added to voter registration from DMV database
"Just weeks before the Kentucky election, 175,000 purged voters were put back on the registration rolls after Democrat challenger Attorney General Andy Beshear sued to have the inactive voters reinstated.
A recently released recorded phone call between the Kentucky Board of Elections office and a journalist named Tore shows that Tore and her immigrant husband, who is ineligible to vote, were placed on the Kentucky voter rolls as registered Democrats.
The only problem is, Tore and her husband haven’t lived in the state Kentucky for years and both of them have never registered as Democrats.
Tore was concerned about her husband’s immigration status and how the apparent election fraud could impact his ability to remain in the United States..."

Gregg Jarrett: The Trump impeachment inquiry is already in big trouble. Here's who Democrats have to thank | Fox News:

Image result for flickr commons images Gregg JarrettUnder cross-examination, these witnesses readily admitted they had no firsthand knowledge of the president’s intent during his telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They simply propagated and repeated rumors and innuendo in their diplomatic echo chamber. But that has not stopped Schiff from pretending that they are valued witnesses. With the chairman’s encouragement and guidance, they have offered their interpretations of the Trump-Zelensky conversation. It reminds me of Schiff’s own dramatic interpretation of the phone call, which was nothing more than an unconscionable fabrication designed to smear Trump.

Behind The Network Of Outside, Left-Wing Groups Pushing Racial Policies In Cities, Counties Across America | The Daily Caller

Behind The Network Of Outside, Left-Wing Groups Pushing Racial Policies In Cities, Counties Across America | The Daily Caller
    Image result for using the “equity” language
  • Many cities and counties are adopting radical policies that see every aspect of government operations through the “lens” of race.
  • A network of George Soros-backed activist groups has worked to push these policies at the most local level of government, where there is little scrutiny.
  • The policies are justified by citing research attributed to the University of Southern California, which actually comes from an outfit connected to the activist groups and whose work economists say is junk science.
  • In cities and counties across America, local politicians have in recent months begun proposing comprehensive race-based policies such as redrawing school boundaries to dismantle schools with too many white or Asian students.
They have pushed for radical changes that have roiled even liberal-leaning constituents.
The justification on all of their lips is oddly similar: “Equity.”
The same buzzwords appear again and again.
“School board meetings suddenly became like Mad Libs. They started repeating certain phrases, jamming them into every sentence. It was very odd,” Margaret McCreary, a Fairfax County, Virginia, parent who eventually learned that the board members were using the “equity” language to push a proposal that could move her children out of their schools, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“It seemed like they were all in cahoots to do something, but at first we didn’t know what to make of it, because we didn’t know what they were talking about,” she said..."

During the first public impeachment hearing Wednesday, House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said he does not know the identity of the whistleblower who started the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
At the beginning of the hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) asked Schiff when the committee would be able to vote on having the whistleblower testify.
"You are the only member who knows who that individual is, and your staff is the only staff of any member of Congress who has had a chance to talk with that individual," Jordan said. "We would like that opportunity. When might that happen in this proceeding today?"

Our Education System Fosters American Self-Loathing | The American Spectator

Our Education System Fosters American Self-Loathing | The American Spectator:
"It’s a recipe for disaster.
See the source imageIn a recent poll by YouGov and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, 70 percent of millennial Americans (23 to 38 years old) are likely to vote socialist, and 36 percent have a favorable view of communism. 
In a 2018 YouGov poll, millennials are almost four times as likely as those Americans older than 54 to say they are not proud to be an American and almost three times as likely to disagree with the statement that “America is the greatest country in the world.”
These generational differences are stark and disturbing for the future of America. 
They are not surprising, however, given that our education system emphasizes the evils of America, the West, and capitalism.
Today, teachers underscore our failures, fostering American self-loathing, never teaching that the United States has been the greatest force for freedom and opportunity in the history of humankind and that free-market capitalism has created unparalleled wealth, even among the poorest.
How did we get here?...

No Safe Spaces: What Happens When Common Sense and Values Disappear - American Thinker

No Safe Spaces: What Happens When Common Sense and Values Disappear - American Thinker
"The new documentary No Safe Spaces, starring conservative thinker, radio host, and writer Dennis Prager and liberal, comedian, and podcast host Adam Carolla, is a must-see for anyone concerned with the long-term viability of the First Amendment's free speech protections.  
While primarily focusing on the hostility to free speech laying siege to America's college campuses, vividly illustrated with compelling clips of violent protests and civil unrest by students from Berkeley to Yale, No Safe Spaces powerfully illustrates how the movement to limit speech has moved into mainstream arenas as well.
Prager and Carolla recognize that "common sense and values" are disappearing for the first time since our country's founding.  
There are appearances by figures on both sides of the ideological spectrum including liberals Barack Obama, Van Jones, Cornell West, Dave Rubin, and Alan Dershowitz, all of whom recognize the dangers to the country when progressive notions of microaggressions and safe spaces become the new normal.
Prager appreciates how unique free speech is on the world stage.  .."
