Why CNN omitted race from the GOP debate

The Black Sphere

"You don’t need a poll to tell you that the subject of race is one of the top issues on the minds of America. But for those who need polls, according to a July Gallup poll, race relations ranked third, behind only the economy and dissatisfaction with the government.

"So with that in mind, CNN brought us political WrestleMania. The moderators at CNN did moderate. Instead of covering the substantive issue of race relations, which have undoubtedly worsened during the Era of the Black President, CNN moderators were content to incite the candidates into attacking one another. Like a schoolyard provocateur, Jake Tapper prodded the candidates to respond to what each other had said about the other.

“So what about your face, Carly? You gonna let Trump get away with that?”

Let’s recap: #1 issues with Americans is the economy, and #2 dissatisfaction with the government, and CNN decides to discuss if Trump should have his hand on the button? Would that be the same button that Hillary Clinton gave to the Russians? Or would that be the button Obama has pushed on America’s debt and deficit? That button should be labeled “Armageddon!”

"CNN had no interest in hearing the real policies of the candidates. For them it was about entertainment, ratings and money. Those who were able to outline their positions on key issues did so by brute force. God forbid CNN actually address the issue that would showcase just how reckless the Democrats have been, fiscally or otherwise. Why do that, when the real goal was to make the Republicans look childish and petty." . . .

Obama a Muslim? What Trump should have said

Is Obama a Muslim? What Trump Should Have Said
.. . . "Good point, but it raises the question: Is Obama a Muslim?  The answer is no.  But what is he then?  Is Obama a Christian, as Jeb Bush asserted in an attempt to make Trump look bad after Thursday’s dustup? Not a chance.  Obama is about as pure a post-modern agnostic as you can find.  He’s about as Christian as your average gender studies professor at Swarthmore.

"Religion is for the president a convenience, an instrument of power.  As evidence of his Christianity he presents twenty-year attendance at Jeremiah Wright’s church, which was and is no more than a front for extreme, self-destructive black nationalism amplified by screechy anti-American propaganda, about as Christian an institution as the White Citizens’ Councils.  (Oprah Winfrey didn’t quit by accident).  After acceding to the presidency, Obama has hardly ever gone to church.  It interferes with his golf game or just about anything else.  The family didn’t even make it on Easter."
. . .
"Although not a Muslim (or anything else) religiously, he tilts Islamic culturally.  Why? First, he identifies with it from his Indonesian childhood and as the religion of his father who deserted him.  But at least as importantly he does so because he is a “progressive.” It’s no accident that he became one in the absence of Islam or Christianity. “Progressives” are the real true believers. They are convinced (to an extent religious people could only dream and at a level of almost absolute blind faith) that everything bad that happens or happened internationally is or was the fault of the imperialistic West. "
. . .
 . . . "Is Obama a Muslim?  No, but he’s something even worse — a transnational progressive."

Maybe those calling for climate change deniers to be locked up ahould be locked up themselves!

Exclusive: Lord Monckton sounds off on calls to jail 'climate-change' skeptics

"As the world-government conference in Paris this November comes ever closer, and the “global warming” scam comes ever closer to outright collapse, the climate communists are becoming desperate. To get the global dictatorship they have long planned for, they need to go on pretending that “global warming” is getting worse when in fact the satellites show there has been none for 18 years and eight months." . . .

. . .

"The central answer to the question how it was that a civilized country such as Germany – arguably one of the most cultured in the world – fell to Hitler and his jackbooted thugs is that in the decade running up to their seizure of absolute power they bullied and threatened every opponent in the most vicious style, until everyone who just wanted a quiet life learned not to speak up or his reputation would be systematically, ruthlessly trashed.

"The Communists after World War II copied the Fascists before the war, setting up an entire directorate of the KGB dedicated to dismantling the reputations of the opponents of the Soviet genocidal state. The technique worked by frightening almost everyone into not speaking out publicly against Communism.

"Now the eco-fasmunists are using precisely the same techniques. Billionaires such as the poisonous Tom Steyer and the gnome-like Richard Branson are paying organizations who work full-time to trash the reputations of all who dare to research the climate question and come up with answers – however scientifically accurate – that are inconsistent with the party line."  Read more

The Deniers: The World-Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud...and Those Who Are Too Fearful to Do So

When a flat earth was "settled science"
. . . "Christy’s op-ed picks up that flat earth theme in the opening paragraphs, and even the title and deck: “Kerry Is Flat Wrong on Climate Change: It was the scientific skeptics who bucked the ‘consensus’ and said the Earth was round.”

In a Feb. 16 speech in Indonesia, Secretary of State John Kerry assailed climate-change skeptics as members of the “Flat Earth Society” for doubting the reality of catastrophic climate change. He said, “We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists” and “extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts.”

But who are the Flat Earthers, and who is ignoring the scientific facts? In ancient times, the notion of a flat Earth was the scientific consensus, and it was only a minority who dared question this belief. We are among today’s scientists who are skeptical about the so-called consensus on climate change. Does that make us modern-day Flat Earthers, as Mr. Kerry suggests, or are we among those who defy the prevailing wisdom to declare that the world is round?

The fairy tale of Ahmed's clock

Pulling Our Strings and Poking Us in the Eyes: The Ahmed Mohamed Fairy Tale
"There can be no doubt that Americans are fortunate enough to be governed by a brilliantly conceived Constitution drafted by remarkable, intelligent men. Unfortunately, too many Americans are utterly ignorant of what it contains and how it impacts on their lives. Voter ignorance on this and so much else contributes to the ease with which the media manipulates public opinion into believing things which are not so. In this they play into the hands of a childishly narcissistic president who despises the values upon which our country was based, a man who repeatedly pokes our allies and us in the eyes to show that he can deeply offend without penalty.

"1) The appalling ignorance of American voters." . . .  

"2) This Ill-Educated Public Is Remarkably Susceptible to Media Manipulation and the Ahmed Mohamed Case This Week is a Prime Example . . .

3) The Invitation to The White House is More than Merely Moral Preening: It’s a Sign of the President’s Continued Contempt for Americans . . .

. . .

"The list of offenses to public sentiment could go on: Here are just a few: Announcing Bowe Bergdahl’s release with a Rose Garden ceremony accompanied by Bergdahl’s hippie parents and ignoring the family of the soldier permanently disabled searching for Bowe; insulting our allies Great Britain and Israel.

"And upcoming this week, offending Pope Francis by inviting to his welcome ceremony “transgender activists, the first openly gay episcopal bishop and an activist nun who leads a group criticized by the Vatican for its silence on abortion and euthanasia.”  

"The Vatican has objected. So should we all for Obama’s consistently churlish and offensive behavior."  Read more

"He asks why the president never commented on or called Miss Steinle’s parents whose daughter was murdered by a criminal immigrant; never phoned the families of the policemen being murdered in cold blood by thugs encouraged to hate police by the Black Lives Matters crowd and its poisonous rhetoric, and whose leaders were also just invited to the White House. Wise beyond his years, he observes, “You don’t get invited to the White House for building a clock.”
