We’ve Lost Count Of How Many ‘Last Chances’ We’ve Had To Save The Planet

"That these people, including the John Kerrys of the U.S., who are as useful as a broken leg, have not been driven from their positions of influence and authority is a near tragedy." . . .

"John Kerry said earlier this month that we’ve reached “the last best opportunity we have to get real and serious” about global warming. What’s the difference between him and a loon walking down Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue wearing one of those sandwich boards proclaiming the end of the world is nigh? We’re struggling to see any.

"Kerry, the Biden administration’s special presidential envoy for climate – an office that amounts to much less than a bucket of warm spit – is part of a chorus of fearmongering that goes back more than three decades. 

“ 'In 1989 the United Nations gave us 10 years to save the world,” science site Watts Up With That posted last year. 

"Guess blogger Eric Worrall then went on to list more than a dozen “last chances” to stop global warming.

“ 'If we do not heed this last chance, I’m sure there will be another last chance in the near future, just like all the previous last chances,” he said.

"Dire, way-off-base predictions have been the hallmark of radical environmentalism for at least a half century. Reason’s Ronald Bailey took “a look back” in 2020 at the first Earth Day and the forecasters “who got the future wrong.” He notes that the world did not have to halve the planet’s population or stop economic growth completely “to prevent the imminent ecological cataclysm.' ” . . .

Corporate Media And Other Race-Baiters Have Incited More Violence Than Trump Ever Did

"That’s because they don’t so much report as create. They don’t get clicks and clout by uncovering and reporting what actually happened, but by feeding people and politicians’ pre-existing narratives. That’s why every lede  and headline seems to be some variation of Black Lives Matter talking points."

When you can convince people racism is rampant, you ignite a flame of division and destruction that can only end with bodies on the ground and cities leveled.

. . . "This week, that name was overshadowed by Ma’Khia Bryant, a black teenager who died at the hands of law enforcement in Ohio. In both cases, leftist politicians and Twitter-verified “journalists” couldn’t get the story out fast enough, absent facts, video, or nuance — but the headlines wrote themselves: “Racist Cop Shoots Unarmed Minority.”

"Also in both cases, the stories turned out to be completely wrong. On Wednesday we learned that Bryant wasn’t just standing in her driveway unarmed, or just casually holding a knife, or even dueling with another armed kid in a “knife fight” when the officer discharged his weapon. After the officer arrived, she lunged with a knife at another black girl she had pinned against a car, after having already charged a different girl nearby. She was armed and dangerous. And the officer, although accused of being a racist pig by even the White House, instead saved at least one black girl’s life.

Not only did journalists kick off the Toledo narrative with the same racist-cop rhetoric, but when officer body camera footage was released, showing what appeared to be the boy holding a firearm right before the officer shot him, CBS News cropped out that part of the video and failed to note that he was armed in its write-up of the incident. Meanwhile, politicians peddled the line that Toledo was “unarmed.” . . .

Kellogg’s continues its quest to be America’s most woke corporation

Andrea Widburg  "It seems like a lifetime ago, but it was really just a little over four years ago, immediately after Trump’s election victory, that Kellogg’s pulled all of its ads from Breitbart News because its conservative readers were not “aligned with our values as a company.” Well, it’s 2021, and Kellogg’s is back to reminding everyone that they don’t just sell sugary breakfast products; they also sell wokeness by the spoonful.

"Last week, while our eyes were on the Derek Chauvin trial, Kellogg’s announced that, in honor of Gay Pride Month (yes, it’s almost that wearisome June again), it has a new rainbow cereal:" . . .

‘Biden is an IDIOT in my opinion’: Black American police officer SHOCKS BBC pundit by voicing opinions he clearly did NOT expect about Chauvin

Twitchy  "This is exceptional.

"And what makes it even more exceptional is how clearly surprised and uncomfortable the BBC pundit is with Officer Tatum’s answers and opinions.

"Watch. You’ll thank us:" . . .

"Dude is absolutely SPOT ON about Biden.

"And everything else he said.

"Trying to frame our entire country by the behavior and actions of two men … it’s irresponsible, dirty, and lazy.

"Please note we did not make a Kamala Harris joke with that whole irresponsible, dirty, and lazy dig.

"Ok, so we sort of did by saying we didn’t but … never mind." 

The BBC got a black police officer on to discuss Chauvin's convictions, they clearly weren't expecting the truth bombs and ended the interview prematurely.

Tucker Carlson Says Things, Brian Stelter Gets Really Upset

 RedState

"Tucker Carlson said some things, and Brian Stelter got triggered. That’s basically a recurring theme at this point, with CNN having an entire division that obsesses over the top-rated, cable news host.

"That division is led by Brian Stelter, a journalist of such quality that he even writes his own chyrons sometimes.

"In today’s episode of “what did Tucker say to make people gnash their teeth,” we have some light criticism of the media that got Stelter’s undergarments all in a bunch (at least he kept his pants on this time).

"Tucker Carlson hates the media. What a stunning revelation? But Carlson also happens to be right. The media are made up of cowards who refuse to report on certain stories because of what they fear will be negative political consequences for their side, and rest assured, they have a side. I mean, maybe the “cringing animals” quip was a bit much, but on second thought, it wasn’t a bit much.

"Stelter is like a small dog nipping at the heels of a giant. Tucker doesn’t even have to interact with the guy. After all, why give someone with such low ratings the attention?

"Of course, Stelter’s assertion that journalists are punching up is nonsense. CNN got caught harassing an old lady for hosting a Facebook event it claimed to have been promoted by some Russians. Meanwhile, the latest example involves a healthcare professional who got doxxed and targeted because of a $10 donation to Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense fund." . . .

Black assailants' lives matter, Black victims' lives don't

Why Does No One Seem Glad the Girl in the Pink Sweatsuit Is Still Alive?

Civis Americanus  "LeBron James apparently deleted a tweet in which he posted, "YOU'RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY" with a picture of police officer Nicholas Reardon, who shot Ma'Khia Bryant, who is on body cam video brandishing a knife within a foot of another Black person (the one in the pink outfit).

"This underscores the accuracy of what the student who was forced out of "canceler" Hardin-Simmons University posted about Black Lives Matter.  If Bryant had succeeded in killing the other Black woman, the latter would be just one more anonymous crime victim as opposed to a useful martyr to the Cause.  If Hakim Littleton, who is on body cam video pointing a gun at a cop's head, had succeeded in killing the officer instead of being shot dead by the cop's partner, the officer would be just one more anonymous dead "pig" as opposed to a useful martyr to the Cause.

"The body cam video of Reardon shows, meanwhile, that he probably saved the Black victim from death or serious injury by placing four shots into the body of her assailant, and nowhere else, even though Bryant was essentially on top of the victim. That might be easy enough to do on a firing range with inanimate shoot/don't shoot targets with enough practice, but it's a lot harder when you have to do it with an innocent person in your line of fire and perhaps less than a second to save her life.

"Our country used to call police, firefighters, and paramedics who save the lives of innocent people "heroes" — and some of us still do.  Officer Reardon deserves a commendation, but the "woke" left prefers to call cops who take any Black life, even a perp threatening another Black life, racists, murderers, and white supremacists.  This includes Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, who libelously accused the officer who shot Michael Brown in self-defense of "murder."  Both are attorneys and should know full well that a false public accusation of murder is libel per se." . . . More here.

Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way.  The author is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.

Trump SAVAGES LeBron James For Threatening a Police Officer's Life "On Wednesday,

NBA Lakers star LeBron James tweeted something that looked very much like an incitement to murder a police officer. James rushed to conclusions about the shooting of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant, a black girl who appears to have been lunging at someone with a deadly knife when the cop shot her. James later took down the tweet, but he claimed that this shooting represents yet more evidence of systemic racism.

"President Donald Trump took him to task on Thursday night." . . .

Seattle Antifa Hate Group Threatens to Burn Down Church Over Event With Charlie Kirk

"It’s unclear how the terror threats were communicated to the church leadership, but Pastor Archer said the fact that the cops don’t have the manpower to help and the governor doesn’t have the political will to fight back means the church would have been left to the antifa arsonists and vandals of antifa and BLM."

 PJ Media  "A Puyallup, Wash., church has canceled an event featuring conservative speaker Charlie Kirk after antifa activists threatened to burn down all of its buildings and torch the neighbors’ properties too.

"Motion Church planned an event with Kirk, the head of Turning Point USA and a Christian speaker, on May 2.

"The church, in a community south of Seattle, ministers to the homeless, lost, and addicted people in addition to hosting regular services and events at the church for families, and those seeking to know Christ more.

"But hosting Charlie Kirk was just a bridge too far for the antifa terror group." . . .

DHS whistleblower says border guards are ‘burned out’ from Biden policies

NY Post  "A Homeland Security whistleblower is offering a glimpse into how officers facing the brunt of the illegal immigration crisis are faring — saying Biden administration policies “were implemented  irresponsibly” by people who are removed from the situation on the ground and “do not have any sense of realism.”

"In an interview with Fox News‘ Sara Carter on “Hannity” Thursday evening, the unidentified DHS official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed increasing frustration at the federal government’s handling of the situation.

" 'People are just very burned out and there’s not a lot of optimism that it’s going to get better anytime soon,” the unnamed official, a male, told Carter.

"The official went on to say that he was frustrated with President Biden’s border policies.

“ 'I think the policies were implemented irresponsibly and I think they do not have any sense of realism,” the man explained." . . .

Democrats to Americans: Screw you

And they somehow end up in office anyway.  Who should be "pushing back," Maxine?  Who should be taking to the streets in protest, Kamala?

Eric Utter  "A serious question: How is it that any Democrats ever get elected to national office?  Cheating now leaps to mind, but other than that?  Their policies fly in the face of the beliefs and values of a distinct and measurable majority of Americans. But they don't even care about the poll numbers.

• Most Americans are adamantly against defunding the police, African-Americans included.
• Most Americans are against Democrat plans to pack the Supreme Court.
• Most Americans are against leaving their border(s) open and rewarding those who choose to come here illegally by giving them free goods and services.
• Most Americans are against the concept and practice of unlimited immigration.
• At least a slight majority of Americans realize that abolishing the oil, gas, and coal industries and enacting the Green New Deal will destroy their nation's economy and dramatically worsen their lives — and those of their descendants.
• Most Americans do not believe that man-caused global warming/climate change is an existential threat to their country or the planet as a whole.
• The large majority of Americans are against late-term and "after-birth" abortions.

"Etc., etc., etc.

"And Democrats seemingly reply, "Frankly, Americans, we don't give a damn!"

Sharpton reveals the real goal

Sharpton built his career on being a reverend who led protests, often for incidents that were like the Goetz and Brawley cases.  Sharpton gets high praise from Biden's UN ambassador

Don Surber   "I am not sure if it was a gaffe or whether Al Sharpton believes the goal is a cinch now, but today he told the truth about the Democrat goal with their anti-police riots.

"They want to create a police state run by Washington.

"Via Breitbart, Sharpton told MSNBC, "I think that the possibility of change is absolutely there at this moment.

"I’ve talked to Congresswoman Bass. I’ve talked to Senator Cory Booker. There are conversations going with Tim Scott."

The plan is to capitalize on a yearlong PR campaign to federalize your local police.

"He said, "As you saw a conviction of Chauvin, and then you see during the trial, the killing of Daunte Wright, and now we have a situation we’re looking to see what it is in Ohio and North Carolina, all in this short period of time, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery and all of these cases happened right around the time of George Floyd.

" 'If we can’t do it now, when will we ever be able to do it? I think the time has come for the nation to deal with it. President Biden and Vice President Harris have said it needs to be dealt with. We are seeing the absolute time that policing must be defined by the federal government. And if we don’t do it, we’ll continue to see these things, and it will end up tearing this society apart in an irreparable way."

"Sharpton's entire career has been devoted to undermining public confidence and trust in the police. He began by protesting the Bernard Goetz acquittal. On December 22, 1984, he shot four black men who tried to rob him on the subway." . . .

"Hi, I am a retired newspaperman. I wrote 3 books on Trump and the media. I live in Poca, WV, with my wife of 43 years, Lou Ann. I grew up in Cleveland. Recently promoted to grandfather." D.S.

Former celebrity vocal coach shares how 'darkness' in Hollywood inspired album on spiritual warfare

 Christian Post  "A Hollywood celebrity vocal coach has shared how, after God opened her eyes to the “darkness” surrounding her in the secular music industry, she felt compelled to write a worship album focusing on spiritual warfare.

"For years, Kira Fontana worked as a successful vocal coach to major labels and shows such as Glee and The Voice. But the longer she spent in the music industry, the more disillusioned she became by the darkness she witnessed all around her. 

“ 'It’s darker than most people could ever imagine,” Fontana told The Christian Post. “If you look at the content of the lyrics of the songs that are played on the radio, it’s unbelievably immoral and dark and anti-Jesus. When I started to see the sheer percentage of songs and videos that were leaning heavily in that direction, I came to recognize that it could not be an accident. People in very powerful positions are backing it; there are gatekeepers who are wanting this content that we hear now to be prevalent in our society.”

“ 'It’s akin to poisoning our community, and our kids are drinking from a very, very, very destructive cup,” she said. “I saw the effect on kids as I worked in the city, and that effect is spreading. LA is the communication center for this planet; when you go to other countries, you still see content made in Los Angeles. It became a really heavy responsibility.”

"Though an unbeliever, Fontana felt a strong, invisible pull away from the secular music industry." . . .

“I think the song 'Refuge' will always have a special place in my heart because that's where God started to just redeem everything for me by giving me that song,” she said. “It’s such a declaration of who He is. No matter what's going on around us, if we are abiding in Him, we are safe and secure.”

 "Now, Fontana also serves as a Christian music producer and the founder of KINGDOM SOUND, a boutique music production company and record label.

CNN plans climate change town hall after staffer reveals plan to sell climate 'fear' in leaked recording

CNN plans climate change town hall after staffer reveals plan to sell climate 'fear' in leaked recording   "Technical director told Project Veritas climate change will be 'next COVID thing' for CNN"

"CNN is set to host a live town hall with senior Biden administration officials this weekend on the topic of climate change, weeks after a network employee told an undercover journalist the network planned to push "fear" about the issue.

"The town hall, moderated by CNN anchor Dana Bash, will focus on "The Climate Crisis" and will air on Friday night to mark this year's celebration of Earth Day, the network announced. 

"The participants include Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, all of whom will be asked about Biden's campaign promise to remake American climate policy. 

"Earlier this month, right-wing guerilla news outlet Project Veritas published a series of explosive conversations between one of its reporters and a CNN technical director named Charles Chester. In one of the conversations, Chester revealed that following the "COVID fatigue" from CNN's coverage of the pandemic, the network will "start focusing mainly on climate.' " . . .

""Our focus was to get Trump out of office," Chester said. "Without saying it, that's what it was, right? So our next thing is going to be for climate change awareness."

" 'Do you think it's going to be just like a lot of like fear for the climate?" the undercover journalist asked. 

" 'Yeah. Fear sells," Chester responded. 

" 'Who decides that?" the journalist asked. 

" 'The head of the network," Chester answered.

" 'Who's that? Is that Zucker?" she followed, referring to CNN President Jeff Zucker.

" 'Zucker, yeah," Chester replied. 

"In another exchange, Chester repeated that climate change is "going to be the next COVID thing for CNN" that "we're going to hone in on.' " . . .

Chester: “It's going to be our [CNN’s] focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that's what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be for climate change awareness.” "

Chester: “We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he’s] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric.”

"Chester went on to say that COVID-19 media coverage should be coming to an end in the near future. He added that CNN is already preparing its shift in coverage to push and promote climate change fear." 

“ 'I think there's a COVID fatigue. So, like whenever a new story comes up, they're [CNN’s] going to latch onto it. They've already announced in our office that once the public is -- will be open to it -- we're going to start focusing mainly on climate,” Chester said.

"Chester: “It's going to be our [CNN’s] focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that's what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be climate change awareness.”

"Veritas Journalist: “What does that look like?”

"Chester: “I don't know. I'm not sure. I have a feeling that it’s going to be like, constantly showing videos of decline in ice, and weather warming up, and like the effects it’s having on the economy--' ” . . .
