Obama To Unveil ‘Biggest Step Ever’ In Climate Fight…

Weasel Zippers

 

"Your electricity bill will necessarily sky rocket."
"Via Discovery" 

. . .. The White House will release the final version of America’s Clean Power Plan, a set of environmental rules and regulations that will home in on the pollution from the nation’s power plants, setting limits on power-plant carbon emissions.. . . 

 "But even as natural gas gains in popularity, coal remains a key component in the American energy landscape.
"Hundreds of coal-fired power plants dotted across the country provide about 37 percent of the U.S. electricity supply, ahead of natural gas and nuclear reactors.

Sheikh Preaching Radical Islam to Young Children Gets Interrupted by Bold Bystander

 

The Federalist Papers  "The Middle East Media Research Institute posted a video of a sheikh preaching Islam to a bunch of little kids in Jerusalem during his so-called summer camp.
"When the video starts to make your heart hurt once you realize what horrible things the sheikh is teaching the impressionable children, an unexpected twist occurs.

"One man, who appeared to be a Muslim as well, didn’t appreciate the sheikh teaching the young kids about how to be a martyr and attain 70 virgins in paradise.

. . . 

 “ 'Shame on you,” the man continued, undeterred. “You can teach these lessons to [adults] like us, not to them.” "The woman then encouraged the children to yell a phrase which, translated to English, means, “We shall sacrifice our souls and our blood for you, Al-Aqsa!” The children also obediently and loudly obliged by repeatedly screaming the phrase.
"The onlooker continued to speak with the sheikh. “Look at these children! Look what you are planting in their minds,” he said.
"However, the sheikh waved the man away, telling him, “May Allah reward you,” to which the passerby responded, “Shame on you!” before walking away. The sheikh then continued to indoctrinate the children."

Be aware the man had no problem with the sheikh's teachings - only that he was teaching them to children.

Department of Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson says that the Islamic State wants to be viewed as Islamic, but they aren’t. (Video)

 Even more disturbing (and once again, watch the video for yourself), Johnson says he can’t call Islamic terror “Islamic terror” out of deference to American Muslims because they won’t cooperate with homeland security efforts if he does. So the head of DHS believes American Muslims will stand by and watch their fellow Americans die in bomb blasts over a vocabulary dispute?

Why the Democrats Should Dump Hillary and Nominate Trump

(A 2012 Washington Post “fact check” reported that “Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms or even possess the necessary equipment to do so. . . . Instead, its clinics provide referrals and direct low-income women toward resources to help pay for the procedure.”)

Clarice Feldman   

. . ."Let’s be honest with ourselves. Hillary is tanking and we need to find a replacement. I know this sounds shocking -- and certainly you’ve been considering throwing your support behind Joe Biden -- but I think we should enlist Donald Trump as our nominee."

Let me explain.

We need Black voters and they like him.

They really like him. I know Hillary’s been doing her best to curry favor with Black voters, but it’s not working well and if she does more than what she’s done we can expect a rush to the exits by other voters.

Even if she could persuade some of the usual race baiters (excuse my bluntness but we need some plain talk), she cannot match the enthusiastic responses which twice put Obama over the top.

Despite what you might be reading in the papers -- you know the ones who earlier had been promoting Jeb and Hillary as inevitable -- Republicans are not really that crazy about Trump , and we can use this to get him to jump ship.

. . . 

On the other hand, Trump seems to be far more likely to draw a great deal more Black support than Hillary: 

But, more crucially, his stance on immigration would immeasurably benefit African-Americans. It is they who suffer when America does nothing to stem the tide of illegal aliens pouring over the border: it’s harder for them to get jobs, and wages are pushed down even further.

Normally what happens with sizeable immigrant populations is that existing groups start to move up the ladder: they become middle-class while the immigrants take low-paid and menial jobs. In LA, even in very black neighborhoods, the construction workers are all Latino.

Yet that upward ratchet doesn’t seem to be happening in the overwhelmingly Democratic-run black ghettoes so in flux in America today. Blacks aren’t benefitting from the Hispanic invasion: in fact, it’s making their lives even worse.

That Boss Who Set Minimum $70,000 Salaries for All Employees? Here’s How That’s Working Out So Far

The Blaze

. . . "Apart from the hit his own salary took — $1 million down to $70k — Price began renting out his house to help with his diminished income. He also had to hire a dozen new employees at much higher wages to handle new clients intrigued by his stance. And then some older clients backed out believing fee spikes were around the corner, while others walked away because they took Price’s announcement as political.

"More from the Times:

Two of Mr. Price’s most valued employees quit, spurred in part by their view that it was unfair to double the pay of some new hires while the longest-serving staff members got small or no raises. Some friends and associates in Seattle’s close-knit entrepreneurial network were also piqued that Mr. Price’s action made them look stingy in front of their own employees.. . . 

 The new pay scale also helped push Grant Moran, 29, Gravity’s web developer, to leave. “I had a lot of mixed emotions,” he said. His own salary was bumped up to $50,000 from $41,000 (the first stage of the raise), but the policy was nevertheless disconcerting. “Now the people who were just clocking in and out were making the same as me,” he complained. “It shackles high performers to less motivated team members.”

 Pretty much as I found it to be in a labor union for 50 years. TD

To Trump Disciples: You’re Embarrassing Conservatism and Yourselves

 "Conservatives don’t need a blubbering, narcissistic nitwit making a mockery of their positions." 

 

The Blaze   . . . "Please. I think it’s unseemly for a man to beg, so I’m not begging, but I’m as close to begging as you can get. I’m pleading. I’m imploring. I’m beseeching. I’m doing other things I could list if I had a thesaurus handy. I am strongly urging you to drop this Donald Trump nonsense. For your own good, friends. For the good of the planet. For the good of the universe itself. Just drop it.

"Donald Trump is a fraud. I’d call him a fool, but he’s worse than a fool; he’s a phony who makes fools out of other people. And, no, he’s not making fools out of liberals — trust me, they couldn’t be happier with the guy — he’s making one out of you." . . . Hat tip to Cindy ONeill, Pennsylvania
