"Michael Moore's documentary, 'Planet of the Humans' has exposed the "swindlers" who are peddling misinformation and the environmental benefits of green energy"
Yesterday, it was Mr. Potato Head. Today, it’s Dr. Seuss.
March 2 marks Read Across America Day, a national recognition of Dr. Seuss’ birthday for more than 20 years. Now, a liberal educator group dubbed “Learning for Justice” is demanding Dr. Seuss‘ books be stripped from school libraries because of their “racial undertones.”
"University of California-Berkeley professor Robert Reich has often complained about the high pay of CEOs.
...In 2019, Reich made $249,533 base pay and $300,354 total compensation.
According to California-Berkeley, Reich taught one class in the fall of 2020, called “The Political Economy of Inequality” that was remote only and lasted two hours and was once a week.
In the upcoming spring of 2021 semester, Reich is scheduled to teach two online-only classes once a week called “Wealth and Poverty” that last two hours."...Read all.
During a confirmation hearing Thursday, Paul pointedly asked Levine, who is a transgender woman, about her support for allowing children to change their sex, and whether she believes children are capable of making such life-altering decisions.
Levine evaded the question, answering instead with a vague statement about the complexities of transgender medicine, which she would again reiterate for Paul's subsequent questions.

“Acceleration” in Sea-Level Rise Found to Be False – An artifact of Switching Satellites "One of the most common arguments climate alarmists make is that the rate of sea-level rise is “accelerating” or rising faster every year. Sea-level data reported from satellites indicate seas are rising approximately of 3.3 mm/year. By contrast, tidal stations have recorded a rise of approximately 1 to 2 mm annually, a rate which is little changed over the century or so for which we have adequate records.
Indeed, as reported in Climate at a Glance: Sea Level Rise, the oldest tide gauge in the USA, in New York City, shows no acceleration at all going back to 1850. Why the large difference? The answer it turns out is simple.
When NASA and NOAA launched new satellites, the data they produced wasn’t the same as the data recorded by earlier satellites.
...This is either incompetent or dishonest, and certainly not up to even the simplest of basic science principles.
Virtually any high school or college student who presented such work for a class would get called out on it by their instructor for showing a false trend...Read all.
Looking at NASA’s Vegetation Index data, the news is good: the globe has greened 10% so far this century.
"That’s good news because we know this ultimately means greater crop production area and forest expansion. Ironically, what many “experts claim to be a huge problem (CO2) is in fact one of the major reasons behind the greening. Zoe Phin has a post on this topic at her site which really warrants attention. Global Vegetation Index surges 10% in 20 years Zoe downloaded all of NASA’s available 16-day-increment vegetation data from 2000 to 2021. Here’s her result:
NASA’s Vegetation Index has risen from 0.0936 to 0.1029, which is a 9.94% increase. Chart by Zoe Phin
“10% global greening in 20 years! We are incredibly fortunate!” Zoe comments on the results. “I just wish everyone felt that way. But you know not everyone does. To the extent that humans enhance global greening is precisely what social parasites want to tax and regulate. No good deed goes unpunished.”...Read all.
The White House plans to roll out a new policy starting Monday that would charge journalists $170 to take a COVID-19 test every time they enter the grounds, and reporters in the press corps and beyond are not happy about it.
A man in Wales was arrested by police for going for a walk too far from home and failing to identify himself before he claimed he was taken to the police station and subjected to a strip search.
"According to McEvoy, the couple in question were grieving the recent death of an uncle and wanted to visit the nearest beach to go for a walk. Mr. Radek, the man seen being handcuffed in the video, says that the couple had been struggling with mental health issues as a result of lockdown. “My family was struggling with many issues that are sourced in the constant lockdowns and homeschooling,” said Radek. “On top of that came personal family problems which we faced in the last months. They include the very serious illness of my wife’s brother and death of close relatives. We were not even able to say goodbye or go and attend the funeral in Poland.”
On returning to the car park after their walk on Talacre Beach, Radek and his wife were confronted by two female police officers who had been handing out fines. Radek was told he had violated coronavirus regulations and was handcuffed before being subjected to a search without consent...Read all.

The U.S. Supreme Court handed California churches a victory Friday, granting injunctive relief to a group that had sued over coronavirus lockdown rules that banned indoor services.
The churches will be allowed to hold indoor services as they await a decision on their appeal in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is hearing their case but had denied a motion to suspend the ban during it.
The 6-3 decision came with the Court's liberal justices in dissent.
His question was, "Who was president a month ago?"
It didn't take long for Twitter to remind the fact checker in chief that it was Biden – not Trump – that was in office a month ago...
Kessler's statement, however, points to a bigger issue: a few people are dubbed "fact checkers," the ones who are said to know anything and everything.
But the truth is if they miss something as basic as this, what else are they missing (or purposefully lying about)?...Read all!

That’s right, this “derisive” habit we have of incorrectly referring to the Democratic Party as the “Democrat Party” is not only just one more example of our “extreme partisanship,” it’s also “just another piece in a big bubbling kettle of animosities” we harbor as we attempt to make Democrats “sound like rodents.” ...AP “journalist” Julie Carr Smthye’s What’s in an adjective?‘Democrat Party’ label on the rise is as hilarious as it is whiny, as trots out example after example of “proof” of “conservatives seeking to define the opposition through demeaning language.”...Read all.
