Winter Is Coming for Global Warming: Is Climate Change the Hoax of the Century?

PJ Media   "Recent evidence calls into question the accuracy of climate data, and every day, natural gas looks like a cleaner domestic alternative to Middle East oil. So why is the left promoting global warming and resisting the use of natural gas? Find out."




 Climate Reparations—A New Demand   "At the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009, leaders from more than a hundred nations gathered to consider an agenda that included a massive transfer of money from developed countries to the Third World.  The developed states were tagged to provide $130 billion by 2020 to help developing nations deal with the consequences of global warming.  The proposed transfer was widely discussed as “reparations” for the damage caused by use of fossil fuels in the developed world."

... "President Obama had an opportunity a month ago to bomb ISIS/ISIL while they were on the Syrian border, away from towns and civilians, but he failed to act.

"If he is consistent about anything, it’s about his failure to act unless it’s to push a socialist domestic agenda.

"He watched ISIS gain in power and did nothing. ISIS intends to one day attack us, on that they have been clear.

"ISIS is moving rapidly towards Baghdad and, along the way, they have been erasing borders that have existed in the heart of the Middle East since the 20th century. They intend to eventually go into Jordan and Lebanon. The Iraq-Jordan border is already evaporated in some places.

Oldman Denounces Hollywood Political Correctness, Hypocrisy

The American Culture    "The acclaimed actor and self-described libertarian Gary Oldman comes out with guns blazing against political correctness and Hollywood hypocrisy in a soon-to-be-Playboy magazine. In the interview, he notes that Hollywood leftists such as Bill Maher and Jon Stewart can publicly use any words they like and imply people are homosexuals (without adding “not that there’s anything wrong with that”), but a private outburst by an actor such as Mel Gibson or Alec Baldwin results in widespread denunciation and loss of employment. (Gibson has been blatantly blacklisted by the Hollywood studios ever since his antisemitic outburst directed at two policemen who were arresting him on a DUI charge, and Baldwin was fired from his talk-show duties at MSNBC.)"


Ann Althouse: Gary Oldman can't stop apologizing for that Playboy interview he did where he kept denouncing political correctness.     Hmm.

I read the interview. It wasn't such a big deal. Was this all a set-up to get publicity?
I just think political correctness is crap. That’s what I think about it. I think it’s like, take a f--king joke. Get over it....
Apparently not!
We all hide and try to be so politically correct. That’s what gets me. It’s just the sheer hypocrisy of everyone, that we all stand on this thing going, “Isn’t that shocking?”
He did say "everyone," so technically, he's not a hypocrite.

IRS scandal evolving too fast for reporters to ignore

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
Hot Air    "A handful of former IRS executive Lois Lerner’s emails released by the House Ways and Means Committee seem to be serving as a Rorschach test for political actors and members of the press alike. For some, the early reaction to those emails revealed more about an individual’s thinking about the IRS scandal, and the Republican-led House committees, than it did about the alleged misconduct of one of the country’s most powerful law enforcement agencies.

"On Wednesday, the House Ways and Means Committee released emails sent by Lois Lerner to a colleague reveal that she received information about Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) which led her to inquire about referring him and an unnamed organization soliciting him for a paid speech for an audit. After somehow receiving an event invitation meant for Grassley in which the event planners offered to pay for the senator’s wife to attend, Lerner asked her colleague if she could take action on the apparent infraction. "   How might these people be discussing you and me?

IRS: A Series of Unfortunate Events? ..."The alternative and much more likely — undeniable, to my mind — explanation is that the Internal Revenue Service is engaged in an active and ongoing criminal conspiracy to misappropriate federal resources for political purposes, to use its investigatory powers, including the threat of criminal prosecution, for purposes of political repression, and to actively mislead Congress and the public about the issue;  that the Justice Department is turning a blind eye to these very serious crimes for political purposes and is therefore complicit in the cover-up; that these crimes were encouraged if not outright suborned by Senate Democrats; and that the White House is at the very least passively complicit, refusing to lift so much as a presidential pinkie as the IRS runs amok.

"And, apparently, there’s nobody in Washington with the power and the inclination to do anything about it.

The Supreme Court rules against Obama's recess appointments.

Supreme Court Narrows Recess Appointment Authority   "In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court "limited a president's power to make recess appointments when the White House and the Senate are controlled by opposite parties, scaling back a presidential authority as old as the republic," NBC News reports.

" 'The case arose from a political dispute between President Obama and Senate Republicans, who claimed he had no authority to put three people on the National Labor Relations Board in January 2012 when the Senate was out of town' ."
Supreme Court limits president's recess appointment power  "On a separate track, House Speaker John Boehner said a day earlier he plans to proceed with a lawsuit against the president over his alleged abuse of executive power.

"The issue of recess appointments receded in importance after the Senate's Democratic majority changed the rules to make it harder for Republicans to block confirmation of most Obama appointees. "

The Washington Post has this:   "Breyer and Kennedy were joined in that part of the opinion by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
"Justice Antonin Scalia disagreed strongly, signaling his displeasure by reading from the bench a statement accusing his colleagues of “judicial adventurism.' ”
