"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it. – Voltaire
"There are plenty of idiots out there saying lots of dumb things that I
absolutely disagree with… I mean look at Sally Kohn, Amanda Marcotte,
Lena Dunham, ALL male feminists. And sure, they’re annoying and often
times have me looking for some sharp object to poke through my eye
HOWEVER that being said, I would never go out of my way to try and
silence them. Never. You see I have this pesky habit of supporting and
fighting for freedom of speech, you know, that little nugget in the Bill
of Rights? I know, how totally un-hip to give a s--t about such things
because the new cool has become silencing people who disagree with you
and calling it harassment.
"I am referring of course to twitter’s seemingly new policy that is
“shadowbanning” users without much rhyme or reason other than something
they’ve tweeted has been deemed harassment. Without knowing said
guidelines that sets a lot of people up to be flagged, which sounds a
little bit like flogged and hey, that works for me. Here’s what happens." . . .
The Weather Channel reports that thunderstorms and heavy lightning hit the Eastern Seaboard Wednesday, disrupting thousands of flights. Just hours later, tornadoes swept across the Great Plains and hail storms battered the Midwest. It sounds like somebody didn't get what she wanted for Earth Day. Comedian Argus Hamilton
Warning Signs . . . "Let us
understand, too, that there has always been what the White House announcement
calls “extreme weather events.”Notice
the change from “climate” to “weather”? Among the events identified are “severe
droughts and wildfires to more powerful hurricanes and record heat waves…” Has
there been a time when such weather-related events have not occurred? In fact,
there are times when they don’t. For example, there hasn’t been a single
Category 3-5 hurricane hit the U.S. mainland since 2005! "The White
House has launched a massive brainwashing effort using many elements of the
federal government to frighten Americans using the “climate” and the “weather.”
How deceptive is it?" . . .
. . . "Coca-Cola, specifically Fanta. Coke played both sides during World War Two… they supported the American troops but also kept making soda for the Nazis. Then, in 1941, the German branch of Coke ran out of syrup, and couldn’t get any from America because of wartime restrictions. So they invented a new drink, specifically for the Nazis: A fruit-flavored soda called Fanta. That’s right: Long before Fanta was associated with a bunch of exotic women singing a god-awful jingle, it was the unofficial drink of Nazi Germany. (Source: New Statesman)" . . .
"Bayer. During the Holocaust, a German company called IG Farben manufactured the Zyklon B gas used in the Nazi gas chambers. They also funded and helped with Josef Mengele’s “experiments” on concentration camp prisoners. IG Farben is the company that turned the single largest profit from work with the Nazis. After the War, the company was broken up. Bayer was one of its divisions, and went on to become its own company. "Oh… and aspirin was founded by a Bayer employee, Arthur Eichengrun. But Eichengrun was Jewish, and Bayer didn’t want to admit that a Jewish guy created the one product that keeps their company in business. So, to this day, Bayer officially gives credit to Felix Hoffman, a nice Aryan man, for inventing aspirin. (Source: Alliance for Human Research Protection, Pharmaceutical Achievers)" Bayer's slaves worked wonders.

Clinton Cash is a new book saying Hillary used her post as Secretary of State to greatly increase her family's fortune via donations to the Clinton Foundation and high speaking fees for Bill. That's not fair. She was only trying to close the income inequality gap between the Clintons and David Rockefeller. Comedian Argus Hamilton
Jonathan Chait: The Disastrous Clinton Post-Presidency"The qualities of an effective presidency do not seem to transfer
onto a post-presidency. Jimmy Carter was an ineffective president who
became an exemplary post-president. Bill Clinton appears to be the
reverse. All sorts of unproven worst-case-scenario questions float
around the web of connections between Bill’s private work, Hillary
Clinton’s public role as secretary of State, the Clintons’ quasi-public
charity, and Hillary’s noncompliant email system. But the best-case
scenario is bad enough: The Clintons have been disorganized and greedy." . . . And I expect Obama to become another Al Sharpton/ Farrakhan.
Thomas Lifson "The New York Times published a story just before the morning television news shows went on air today at 6 AM EDT that appears to contain bombshell information about the nexus of many millions of dollars of donations to the Clinton Foundation and U.S. State Department approval and assistance for transactions that bolstered Russian control of a substantial share of the world uranium supply, including mines in the United States. "Through a complex series of transactions requiring U.S. government approval or assistance over a period of eight years, a Russian atomic energy agency named Rosatom ended up controlling a large share of world uranium production, essential to the generation of electricity, including one fifth of U.S. power capacity." . . .Full article
"The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.
"But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.
At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.
. . . " Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton." . . . Not just THIS:
Council on Foreign Relations. . . " World diplomats will work to ensure that the treaty’s basic bargain is still sound: as long as the five original nuclear powers work to eliminate their nuclear arsenals, the rest of the world’s states promise not to develop their own. This year, the nonproliferation regime faces a major test: Fed up with the slowest nuclear arms reductions since the end of the Cold War, a coalition of states are moving to draft a global ban on nuclear weapons. In response, the United States will attempt to assure the world that it is making progress toward a world free of nuclear weapons. In fact, the Obama administration’s record on disarmament has been strong, but it will have to work harder to revitalize the fragile NPT." . . .Adam Mount, Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow
"In April 1999, we were all stunned by the news that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold had attacked and killed students at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado and, more recently, in December 2012, that Adam Lanza, after killing his mother at home, then massacred twenty-six staff and students at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. These events evoke dread of potential events, a quest to understand why they occurred, and ways to avoid further comparable killings. "Peter Langman has authored “School Shooters: Understanding High School, College, and Adult Perpetrators.” It offers very little comfort, but only because this psychologist, widely recognized for his expertise, is refreshingly honest. “ 'Many people seek to reduce school shootings to a bite-sized explanatory chunk, but the phenomenon defies easy analysis,” says Langman. “There is no one cause of school shootings, there is no one intervention that will prevent school shootings, and there is no one profile of a school shooter.' ” . . .
"In an increasingly dangerous world, it is critically important that the United States Marines remain the roughest, toughest asskickers on Earth. Unfortunately, what's even more important - at least in the eyes of the Obama administration - is to make sure that women can qualify for Marine infantry officer positions. "Currently, there's nothing stopping women from getting those positions except for one niggling detail: they can't do the job. Specifically, out of a group of 29 female Marines who recently went through the Marine Infantry Officer Course, a grand total of none, nada, zip, zilch, zero passed. In fact only four of the women even made it through the first day's combat endurance test - which is pretty discouraging when one considers that some wars take even more than a day to fight. "But as the old saying goes, "When the going gets tough, make it less tough for the girls." Or at least that's the old saying which seems to be guiding Army General Martin Dempsey, the nation's top military officer, who has said that if women can't meet the physical requirements for combat, it's up to the military commanders to either prove those requirements are really and truly necessary or lower the standards. "Put another way, those damn sexist Marines will have to prove that their long-established standards of physical excellence and endurance are actually more than simple misogyny. After all, who's to say that it's better to be able to carry a wounded comrade to safety rather than just having a good cry? "The administration's goal is to eventually have a military which is completely "gender neutral," much like the new bathroom in the White House. Failing that, they'll apparently settle for a military which is gender neutered."
Mark J. Perry at AEI "In the May 2000 issue of Reason Magazine, award-winning science correspondent Ronald Bailey wrote an excellent article titled “Earth Day, Then and Now”
to provide some historical perspective on the 30th anniversary of Earth
Day. In that article, Bailey noted that around the time of the first
Earth Day, and in the years following, there was a “torrent of
apocalyptic predictions” and many of those predictions were featured in
his Reason article. Well, it’s now the 45th anniversary of Earth Day,
and a good time to ask the question again that Bailey asked 15 years
ago: How accurate were the predictions made around the time of the first
Earth Day in 1970? The answer: “The prophets of doom were not simply
wrong, but spectacularly wrong,” according to Bailey. Here are
18 examples of the spectacularly wrong predictions made around 1970 when
the “green holy day” (aka Earth Day) started:" . . . This was number eighteen:
18. Kenneth Watt warned about a pending Ice Age in a speech. “The world
has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “If
present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for
the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the
year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice
age.”
. . .Full article here. MP: Let’s keep those spectacularly wrong predictions
from the first Earth Day 1970 in mind when we’re bombarded tomorrow
with media hype, and claims like this from the official Earth Day website:
Scientists
warn us that climate change could accelerate beyond our control,
threatening our survival and everything we love. We call on you to keep
global temperature rise under the unacceptably dangerous level of 2
degrees C, by phasing out carbon pollution to zero. To achieve this, you
must urgently forge realistic global, national and local agreements, to
rapidly shift our societies and economies to 100% clean energy by 2050.
Do this fairly, with support to the most vulnerable among us. Our world
is worth saving and now is our moment to act. But to change everything,
we need everyone. Join us.
Hillary's long list of accomplishments consists of: (1) being cheated on
as first lady; (2) being handed a Senate seat from a heavily Democratic
state, where she accomplished nothing legislatively (other than her
vote for the Iraq War, which I think was terrific!); and (3) being
appointed secretary of state, whereupon she participated in one foreign
policy disaster after another.
Ann Coulter"I gather from the increasing hysteria of the feminists that Democrats are beginning to rebel at having a loser of a presidential candidate being foist upon them, in the person of Hillary Clinton. "The same way the national tea party leaders are a thorn in the side of the Republican Party, constantly challenging incumbent Republicans with untested candidates who then go on to lose to Democrats (in Delaware, Indiana and Nevada, and nearly in Kentucky, Kansas and Mississippi), the feminists are a thorn in the side of the Democrats, saddling them with utter mediocrities like Hillary. "Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Sen. Patty Murray are, objectively, two of the least appealing human beings ever elected to any office. (That sentence still works even without the words "elected to any office.") But God help the Democrats if they tried to replace Schultz as chair of the Democratic National Committee or Murray as secretary of the Senate Democratic Caucus. "Slate magazine is even demanding that Murray be made Senate minority leader as a sop to the feminists. (I think they have a good point!) "Now, to satiate the feminists, the Democrats seem to be stuck with Hillary as their presidential nominee. "No one really likes Hillary. Ask Bill. Like Toni Morrison novels, most people just pretend to like Hillary just so liberals will leave them alone." . . .Full article
Hillary Clinton arrived in New Hampshire to campaign Monday after
spending a previous week in Iowa listening to what the people have to
say. It was a strategy that's best for everybody. Hillary listens to the
people because if the people want to listen to Hillary it costs two
