Is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation slowing? Models suggest it should be – but observation based studies have not found evidence of a slowdown.

Who else is speculating about abrupt cooling? One name which might surprise you is former NASA GISS director James Hansen. From Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2 ◦C global warming could be dangerous p3774;

Hey Hillary, Happy Independence Day! Wikileaks Sets Off Fireworks Releasing Emails!

"Only in America can you be under FBI investigation AND run for president. This is truly an amazing place. #neverhilary #hillno #nomoreclintons"

Wayne Dupree

. . . "On June 16, Julian Assange said he would release emails captured from Hillary Clinton’s Secretary of State private email server that was not secure and he’s finally done it.

"Wiki Leaks has her emails, and we are supposed to believe that the Russian’s, Chinese, Iranians, North Korean’s and ISIS never saw anything on her unsecured server. This is just too good. Hillary supporters will ignore it, but the undecided, independents won’t and believe or not, six percent of the populace determine the election.

"So uhh…this looks like she wanted something sensitive sent as non-sensitive doesn’t it? You can search for more information, search here: https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/"

. . . 

"Mainstream media will just sweep it under the rug. It’s a shame no media outlet uses good old fashioned investigative journalism. They could have had a field day these last seven plus years.

"It’s a shame that Wikileaks is more reliable than the government. Plus, it’s a shame this woman is allowed to run for office. Imagine anyone else was under FBI investigation and running for president. We would have lost our minds, but Hillary pulls the gender card and gets a free pass.

"Too bad, they can’t get their hands on the ones that the President and Clinton do not want to be published until after the election. It would be interesting to see what Obama and Clinton do not want people to see. If Clinton wins the election, nobody will ever see them. I hope Trump wins so we can see just what went on."

Shocking Development Out of Lynch-Clinton Tarmac Meeting

Independent Sentinel

Billy Bubba Clinton

"This could be what Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton discussed on the tarmac in Arizona this past week – a job. An article in the New York Times discussed Mrs. Clinton’s interest in having a cabinet comprised of half women. She’s not looking for qualifications, she’s looking at gender.

"She’s also looking at saving herself from an indictment. Down in the article, it says this:

She [Hillary] hopes to reassure progressives with her executive actions, which would also include new protections for undocumented immigrant parents, as well as her personnel appointments. Having women make up half of her cabinet would be historic (in recent years, a quarter to a third of cabinet positions have been held by women), and Democrats close to Mrs. Clinton say she may decide to retain Ms. Lynch, the nation’s first black woman to be attorney general, who took office in April 2015.

"Is that what Bill told Lynch – don’t indict Hillary and you keep your job?

"Expect eight years of this garbage if Hillary wins.

If You Seek a Monument, Look Around You

Cat Rotator's Quarterly   "What should a country remember? What should it forget? Some say we should remember only the times where the nation failed to live up to ideals, to mourn in sackcloth and ashes forever. Others say we should honor those who fought for the ideals of the country. And a lot are setting out or raising their flags, heading to small town parades, firing up the grill, checking the smoker, assembling the ingredients for ice cream sundaes, or flan, or other good stuff, and ignoring the entire philosophic argument. I think they’re the wise ones. They remember that the US is different, and celebrate that without worrying about who might care.

"It is easy, especially for those immersed in mass culture, to forget just how unusual the US is. It is the only country founded on a set of ideas that place the government behind the citizens. All powers are derived from the consent of the governed. The country’s founding idea is that the citizens agree to allow the government to have some of their powers, so long as the government behaves, for the greater good. The state, be it a monarchy, oligarchy, council of elders, or elected officials, does not grant rights to the citizens. The citizens loan powers to the government. That is totally bass-akwards to most of the world." . . .

Independence and Identity: What Israel Knows, Europe Has Forgotten, and America May Yet Remember

http://terrellaftermath.com/

Abe Katsman   "The Fourth of July is beautiful.  Independence Day marks arguably the most consequential positive political event in history and deserves every bit of the enthusiastic celebration with which it is observed.  Yet the day goes by insufficiently appreciated by so many – a symptom of the erosion of our American identity. 

"For some perspective, let's start by looking at Memorial Day.  In Israel.

Israel.  Yom Hazikaron (Israel's Day of Remembrance) is ushered in by a wailing siren.  Everyone – even drivers on the freeways – stops in his tracks for a minute of mournful silence.  The somber mood of the day is everywhere: no hot dogs or barbecues; no sales at the malls.  No rock music on the radio; no Friends reruns or light entertainment on TV – just reflective songs, unvarnished war documentaries, heart-piercing interviews with families of fallen soldiers, and coverage of countless memorial ceremonies at the nation's cemeteries.  It is a poignant day, dripping with tragedy, loss, sacrifice, and suffering – but also with heroism, pride, honor, and gratitude.

"Does that sound like your Memorial Day?" . . .

Why this year you must REFUSE to celebrate “the 4th of July”

. . . "We live in a nation wherein our leadership just changed the Oath of Allegiance (legal) immigrants to our nation must take so as to exclude the former requirement to pledge to defend America. We live in a nation where our leader, the President of the United States of America, while standing on foreign soil, apologizes for our nation’s behavior and calls America “arrogant.”

"Where our countrymen plea for assistance to our leaders to come save their lives but instead are left to fend for themselves and perish.

"We are currently being led by individuals for whom our sense of national pride is foolishness and the acknowledgement of American exceptionalism is viewed as a delusion of imperialistic grandeur. “How dare we think we’re better than anybody else?!”

"Well you know what? We are." . . .

The Real Story Behind The Clinton-Lynch Meeting

"By not recusing herself, she remains in control and is letting us know that a deal has been cut between her and the Clintons...a Supreme Court nominations perhaps, a position as dean at a major law school, or simply cold cash. It could be anything."

Joshuapundit

"Here's the narrative we're being expected to believe...Bill Clinton and Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch just happened to run into each other at the Phoenix Arizona airport and had a friendly little chat for 30 or 40 minutes on AG Lynch's private plane about golf and grand kids.

"That didn't pass the smell test with anyone but the most gullible true believers. For one thing, anyone familiar with the security arrangement involved in this sort of thing for ex-presidents and a standing Attorney General knows that this kind of meeting is arranged far in advance. Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch may want the peasants disarmed and helpless, but they have 24-7 well armed security provided for them by the taxpayers wherever they go and whatever they do. Not only that, but even for private planes takeoff has to be coordinated and scheduled with the airport and kept to that schedule unless there's a major emergency or maintenance issue.

"And it's also obvious that the agenda for this meeting was also planned in advance. Chatting about grand kids and golf doesn't take 30 or 40 minutes.And heart patients usually don't subject themselves to triple digit temperatures by choice unless it's something vital." . . .

. . . "Yes, you got that right. We're not just talking about Mrs. Clinton. The head of America's Department of Justice, the chief law enforcement officer in the nation met secretly with bill Clinton, whose also under investigation by the FBI." . . .

Sheriff David Clarke: Black “Lies” Matter

NoisyRoom

"The Black Lives Matter movement “…doesn’t care any more about the lives of black people than the Ku Klux Klan…” Sheriff David Clarke asserted during an interview with Accuracy in Media. Clarke is the Sheriff of Miwaukee County, Wisconsin.

“ 'Black Lives Matter, which I have renamed ‘Black Lies’ L-I-E-S Matter, it’s nothing more than an astroturf operation, it’s just the latest shallow disguised, confederation if you will, of community organizers and leftists that specialize in fostering disorganization and rebellion in ghettos and other struggling areas throughout the United States of America.”

"Sheriff Clarke cited “a study done by Dr. Timothy Johnson of Toledo University…” that invalidates the widespread claim that police officers practice racial discrimination. He said the study found that twice as many white men “…are killed in police use of force situations” than black men.

“ 'There is no research, there is not one bit of research or data that supports their lie—which is why I call them ‘Black Lies’—their lie about police use of force in the United States of America.”

"Sheriff Clarke calls Black Lives Matter a “hate group,” saying, “These are nothing more than riot makers and they stoke up bitterness and resentment in people; and they use the police as a distraction from the staggering failure of liberal politicians in these large urban areas where these ghettos are contained.' ” . . .

Wait–Bill Clinton Did What To Ensure He Would Run Into Attorney General Loretta Lynch In Phoenix?

Townhall

"Earlier this week, Bill Clinton met privately with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on her plane, which set off a firestorm of controversy, along with commentary about how this torpedoed any chance of having the investigation look like it was free of political interference. It also threw a wet blanket on any attempt to rehabilitate the former first lady’s abysmal numbers on voter trust and honesty. Bill is in a state of contrition right now (via CNN):

The President's conversation with the attorney general was unplanned and was entirely social in nature. But recognizing how others could take another view of it, he agrees with the attorney general that he would not do it again," an aide to Bill Clinton told CNN Saturday.

Hillary Clinton weighed in on the meeting as well Saturday, telling MSNBC's Chuck Todd, "Obviously, no one wants to see any untoward conclusions drawn, and they said they would not do it again."

Bill Clinton and Lynch met privately on Monday. Clinton, who had been in the Phoenix area earlier in the day for a fundraiser for his wife's campaign, according to a campaign source, joined Lynch aboard her plane while both were on the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

"Yet, over at the New York Observer, a high-level and credible source told them that the former president had delayed departure from Phoenix for in order to ensure a run in with the attorney general:

The source has decades of experience providing security to government officials.

. . .
 Was Lynch Meeting with Clinton Sheer Stupidity or Political Brilliance?  . . . In light of the legal case and likely consequences for the Clintons, a political firestorm over a brief meeting is a small price to pay if, as Adams contends, that meeting sends the right message to the professional prosecutors."  

Son Of Hillary Adviser, Max Blumenthal Attacks Elie Wiesel, Claims He Supported War Crimes By Supporting Israel

Weasel Zippers

"Why? Well, because after being through the experience of the Holocaust, Wiesel was a strong supporter of Israel and someone who called out Hamas and the Palestinians for the terrorists they were. 

"Max Blumental exocriates him for the 'fascists' he met with, i.e. Ted Cruz and Benjamin Netanyahu. Wiesel was a strong supporter of Netanyahu. That only shows Wiesel's good sense. As opposed to Mr. Bulmenthal, who has been an apologist for the actions of Hamas. " . . . 

"I want to thank Mr. Blumenthal for helping to remind me that even to the end of his life, Elie Wiesel was still warning us of dangers."  

The Importance of Elie Wiesel’s “Night”

"In honor of the passing of Elie Wiesel, I’d like to share a personal story about how I was affected by his work.

"In the early 1980’s I found myself at a new school in the eighth grade. My English teacher required my class to read Wiesel’s major work “Night” as an assignment.

"Despite years of education, I didn’t know much about the Holocaust.

"Wiesel’s book changed that. I remember reading it very quickly and being unable to put it down. The horrors he described his family going through in a concentration camp stunned me and have stayed with me for my entire life.

"Here’s a 2013 clip of Wiesel on the Holocaust:

Congressional Black Caucus Plans To Disrupt House Tuesday…

Weasel Zippers

"De facto government shutdown.

"Via Washington Examiner:

The Congressional Black Caucus is calling on its members "to be as disruptive to Speaker Ryan as possible next week" when the House returns for business on Tuesday.

The Washington Examiner has obtained a memo sent to Democratic offices that states that CBC members are coordinating a "day of action on the floor in regards to gun violence."

The plan involves members giving speeches throughout the day calling for further federal restrictions on the possession and use of guns. The memo also asks members to be present for a House Rules Committee that afternoon regarding on the terrorism and gun control legislation slated for action on the floor Wednesday.

"During Votes – Members are encouraged to have a picture (not poster board, but a printed piece of paper with an image of a constituent killed by a firearm)," the memo stated.

How can this woman draw so much worship and adoration?

Hillary, the Democrats and Stockholm Syndrome  "As a political observer I ask myself why Hillary Clinton is the presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic Party for 2016.  From what I’ve gathered:

1. She’s Hillary
2. She’s a woman
3. It’s her turn

"And still, I ask myself why." . . .

Stunning apparent conflict of interest as SecState Hillary Clinton sought information key to son-in-law’s hedge fund   . . . "Can you say “culture of corruption”?  Can you say “rigged system”?

"The fact that Mezvinsky chose a field of investing directly affected by the diplomacy of the United States while his mother-in-law was in charge of that is damning.  In a way, it is too bad that Mezvinsky lost his investors’ money, because at least that way there is no smoking gun for Hillary’s corrupt influence."

Knowing all this about HRC, the Hollywood elites still sanctify her.

"The biggest movie, Independence Day: Resurgence , wasn’t screened for critics ‘cuz it’s a bomb (and a Hillary Clinton infomercial)."
"It’s a long, slow bore, plus it’s a campaign commercial for Hillary Rodham Cankles and propaganda for the “One World”/no sovereignty crap." 

Justice Loretta Lynch? What was Bill offering?

Richard Henry Lee  "The stunning news that Bill Clinton ambushed AG Loretta Lynch with an “impromptu” meeting at the Phoenix airport has a clear ulterior motive.

"Bill Clinton is always looking for an edge and his meeting with the chief law enforcement officer of the United States just days before an FBI interrogation of his wife over a criminal investigation is subliminal and yet, to the point: if my wife is elected President, you get whatever you want.

"The meeting was described by Lynch as purely innocent with topics about grandchildren and golf. Bill no doubt was delighted with a second grandchild and the message to Lynch was his grandchildren may have two grandparents who served as President, but only if there is no indictment of Hillary.

"Left unsaid also is the possibility that Lynch would be at the top of the list of candidates to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court. Lynch was appointed as US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York in 1999 by Bill Clinton, and no doubt Lynch was grateful for the opportunity to serve in that capacity. The only higher office for Lynch would be an appointment to the Supreme Court.

"The only reason the meeting became public was due to the diligence of a local TV reporter. Lynch herself should have reported the ex parte meeting with a potential witness (or subject) in an ongoing criminal investigation yet she did not do so.

"Lynch has refused to recuse herself from the Justice Department review of a possible indictment and it appears she will retain the power to make the final decision.

"Justice is supposed to be blind: yet Loretta Lynch has clearly signaled that the blindfold comes off when the Clintons are involved."
