Trump is all that stands between the America we cherish and the left’s policies for “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

Impeaching Trump is their way of telling us to get in line, or else.  If you think of Trump, not as Trump, but as one of us, it becomes clear.  Destroying him is a way of telling us, “You’re next.”   William L. Gensert
After Trump, We’re Next  . . . "Trump is all that stands between the America we cherish and the left’s policies for “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”  They know that for us, 2020 is a “Flight 93” election and impeaching Trump on what is the thinnest of gruel, and arguably the finest example of projection today, is a last-ditch effort to either depose him or damage him enough politically to make him unelectable come next November.
"With the media, their unctuous allies in scurrility, the left knows every specious allegation will be portrayed as fact in every article, on every news panel, and in every talking-head utterance.  It used to be the “big lie.”  Now it is a million little lies told by a camarilla of politicians and skirling media that they hope will rid the left of their Orange Man bane. 
"The left must make sure that someone like Trump never happens again, should they succeed at deposing Trump, or better yet, damaging him to the point where he loses in 2020, for defeating him at the polls can be trumpeted as the “will of the people.' ”  . . .

120 years of climate scares (it is now a major industry)


Thomas Lifson  "Scientists seeking funding and journalists seeking an audience agree: panic sells.
“ 'Global cooling is going to kills us all!” “No, wait: global warming is going to kill us all!”
"All that’s  missing is a back-and-forth of “You shut up!” “No, you shut up!” That is reserved for those who doubt the need for panic.
"That’s the gist of an amazing chronology of the last 120 years of scare-mongering on climate, assembled by butnowyouknow.net and reprinted by the estimable Anthony Watts in Wattsupwiththat, who updates it to the present. It is truly mind-boggling: . . ."
Read the author's list here;   The partial list here:
  • 1895 - Geologists Think the World May Be Frozen Up Again – New York Times, February 1895
  • 1902 - “Disappearing Glaciers…deteriorating slowly, with a persistency that means their final annihilation…scientific fact…surely disappearing.” – Los Angeles Times
  • 1912 - Prof. Schmidt Warns Us of an Encroaching Ice Age – New York Times, October 1912
  • 1923 - “Scientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada” – Professor Gregory of Yale University, American representative to the Pan-Pacific Science Congress, – Chicago Tribune
  • 1923 - “The discoveries of changes in the sun’s heat and the southward advance of glaciers in recent years have given rise to conjectures of the possible advent of a new ice age” – Washington Post
  • 1924 - MacMillan Reports Signs of New Ice Age – New York Times, Sept 18, 1924
  • 1929 - “Most geologists think the world is growing warmer, and that it will continue to get warmer” – Los Angeles Times, in Is another ice age coming?

Next time you see the usual "global warming" chart, look carefully: it is in tiny fractions of one degree. The ENTIRE global warming is less than six tenths of one degree. Here is the Global Warming Advocates' own chart, rendered in actual degrees like sane people use. I was going to use 0-100 like a thermometer, but you end up with almost a flat line, so I HELPED the Climate Change side by making the temperature range much narrower, and the chart needlessly tall to stretch the up-down differences in the line.

Swedish child climate activist reportedly a tool of Al Gore–linked corporate green hucksters  . . . "According to a report that ran in The Times (subscription only), titled "Greta Thunberg and the plot to forge a climate warrior," green corporate energy companies looking to turn a profit from green contracts were behind the young Greta's much ballyhooed rise from the beginning.  Far from being some persuasive and charismatic kid out to save the Earth, as the press is reporting, the Times found that:" . . .

Another triumph of political correctness

Lev Tsitrin  "The French are in the grips of bitter soul-searching: an employee at Paris police headquarters knifed four police officers to death.  How could it happen that the signs that something was wrong with the man have been missed?
He was a longtime convert to Islam...and was an assiduous attendee of his local mosque, going to morning and evening prayers.  A radical imam who was nearly expelled from France officiated there, a police union official said Friday.  . . .
. . .  "Shocking, indeed — yet the New York Times report leaves it to the reader to figure out why "nothing was done," not venturing to offer a hypothesis.  Thinking I must have inadvertently skipped a paragraph, I did a search on words that pinned the obvious culprit: "political" and "correctness."  None was found.  "Multiculturalism" returned no results, either.

"No wonder the French are confused: they seek answers in the wrong place, not noticing the elephant in the room that is political correctness.  Imagine the outcry from the politically correct if someone were to impute that "an assiduous attendee of his local mosque" who "had tried to justify to a colleague the killings in January 2015 at the magazine Charlie Hebdo and had done the same for other radical Islamist killings" posed danger.  What could be more "Islamophobic"?
"Of course, this happened before: Major Nidal Hasan, who gunned down his Fort Hood colleagues, expressed similar views and was not reprimanded or discharged, either, for the same politically correct reason, no doubt.
"And now, political correctness has claimed four more victims, this time in Paris."
Undetected and still roaming free, who knows how many more victims it will claim...

Babylon Bee reports: Staffer Nervously Informs Hillary Clinton She Lost 2016 Election

Parody from the office of Adam Schiff


"WASHINGTON, D.C.—After Hillary Clinton once again suggested that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president, one unfortunate staffer was forced to be the one to gently inform her that she lost the election.
" 'Hey, Hill, we need to talk," the aide said, her voice shaky and uncertain. "We've got to discuss something of some importance. We're all a little worried about you, and we just need to make sure you realize something about the election from a few years ago."
" 'We don't have time. We need to keep campaigning in swing states like New York and California," Clinton declared, checking her watch. "We'll beat that Trump yet!"
" 'Yeah, about that, sweetheart," the aide continued. She sighed heavily. "Why don't you take a seat?" The staffer then pulled out a folder listing the electoral results from 2016 and slowly walked Clinton through it. "So you see, you're not actually the president of the United States. I'm so sorry. Do you need a tissue?"
"Clinton stared off into space, the words not registering. "Thank you. That will be all," she said at last.
" 'Do you need any---"
" 'I SAID THAT WILL BE ALL," Clinton shouted, staring ice daggers into the poor aide's soul.
"The staffer has committed suicide by running herself over with an SUV and then backing over herself several times."

Ocasio-Cortez Thinks Democrats’ Trump-Impeachment Talk Is ‘Boring,’ Says She’s ‘Over It’

Either she has carefully considered the issues or she has found others to write her opinions. TD

Daily Caller  "New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday said she is “over” trying to impeach President Donald Trump, adding it should have been done a long time ago.


“I think the whole thing is boring,” Ocasio-Cortez said at a Queens Library event. “He should have been impeached a long time ago. I’m over it. And so that’s how I feel about it because we’ve got work to do,” The Washington Examiner reported.
“Impeachment of this president is the short-term action we need to preserve our democracy,” Ocasio-Cortez also said at the event. “But if we are really going to thrive as a country, we need to make long-term investments and keep our eyes on the prize of social and economic and racial justice in the United States of America. And that’s what this is all about.” . . .
"Despite Pelosi’s early reluctance to push for impeachment, there are currently 226 Democrats who support impeachment or an impeachment inquiry, compared to the 10 Democrats who don’t support impeachment or impeachment inquiry yet, according to the New York Times." . . . 

Off Her Meds: AOC Says Trump’s Attacks on Schiff Are ‘Targeted’ Anti-Semitism
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) probably says and tweets more remarkably ignorant things than anyone in Congress -- perhaps more than anyone in the United States. Her latest attack on President Trump regarding his attacks on California Democrat Adam Schiff may be her dumbest hot-take yet." . . . 
"Speaking of Omar, the most outrageously laughable aspect of this concern-trolling by AOC is the fact that half of her "Squad" are openly raging anti-Semites. Omar is so awful that she inspired a condemnation resolution by her own party after she had been in office only a month.
"This is Barack Obama's legacy. White males who are Catholic, Protestant, or atheist are the only people subject to public criticism. Democrats hide their lunacy behind identity shields.
"Any criticism of Obama was racist.
"Hillary lost because of sexism.
"Say anything about AOC's Squad and you are "attacking women of color."

"On it goes."

93 Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List


Sharyl Attkisson  "We the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty to write about. That’s probably why it’s so easy to find lists enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and “lies.”
 
"But as self-appointed arbiters of truth, we’ve largely excused our own unprecedented string of fact-challenged reporting. The truth is, formerly well-respected, top news organizations are making repeat, unforced errors in numbers that were unheard of just a couple of years ago.
 
"Our repeat mistakes involve declaring that Trump’s claims are “lies” when they are matters of opinion, or when the truth between conflicting sources is unknowable; taking Trump’s statements and events out of context; reporting secondhand accounts against Trump without attribution as if they’re established fact; relying on untruthful, conflicted sources; and presenting reporter opinions in news stories—without labeling them as opinions.

"What’s worse, we defend ourselves by trying to convince the public that our mistakes are actually a virtue because we (sometimes) correct them. Or we blame Trump for why we’re getting so much wrong. It’s a little bit like a police officer taking someone to jail for DUI, then driving home drunk himself: he may be correct to arrest the suspect, but he should certainly know better than to commit the same violation.
 
"So since nobody else has compiled an updated, extensive list of this kind, here are:  . . ."

'Nancy Pelosi's in the clutches of a left-wing mob': McConnell vows to stop impeachment; Pelosi's "Grubering" of voters.

Several years ago the architect of Obamacare, Jonathan Gruber, admitted on camera the Democrats who were assembling healthcare legislation were “relying upon the stupidity of the American voter”….  Fast forward to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2019 and her “official impeachment inquiry” by decree; she’s doing the exact same thing.  CTH


Washington Examiner  "In a digital campaign ad that first aired last week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell accused Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of being "in the clutches of a left-wing mob" and forced to proceed with impeachment proceedings against President Trump.


"McConnell, 77, is seeking his seventh consecutive term as a Republican Kentucky senator with the hope of remaining the majority leader of the Senate, a post he has held since the midterm wave of Republicans were elected in 2014.
"McConnell, who recently referred to himself as the "grim reaper" of socialist Democratic legislation passed by the House of Representatives, said last week that he would not have a choice but to bring impeachment to a vote in the Senate if the House majority passed such a resolution.
" 'It’s a Senate rule related to impeachment that would take 67 votes to change, so I would have no choice but to take it up,” he said at the time. “The Senate would have to take up an impeachment resolution if it came over from the House."
"But his newest campaign ad, aimed at rebuking the Democrats' efforts to move forward with impeachment proceedings, backs up his consistent support of the president.
" 'Nancy Pelosi's in the clutches of a left-wing mob," McConnell says from between the ears of a symbolic elephant portrait. "They finally convinced her to impeach the president ... All of you know your Constitution. The way that impeachment stops is a [Republican] Senate majority with me as majority leader."
"His call to action is simple. "But I need your help," he said. "Please contribute before the deadline.' " . . .

"Several years ago the architect of Obamacare, Jonathan Gruber, admitted on camera the Democrats who were assembling healthcare legislation were “relying upon the stupidity of the American voter”….  Fast forward to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2019 and her “official impeachment inquiry” by decree; she’s doing the exact same thing." . . .



Elizabeth Warren caught makin' it up about pregnancy discrimination

Who would you believe more in an Oval Office address, Warren or Hillary? 

Monica Showalter  "Elizabeth Warren has a pretty impressive penchant for makin' it up when it comes to serving a leftist narrative.
"Fake Indian, complete with tales of discrimination experienced, worked for awhile, until it didn't.
"So did the fake research, claiming medical costs are the reason behind most bankruptcies. Nope, not at all.
"Now we have Warren saying that when she became pregnant as a young teacher of special-ed students, presumably in the 1960s, she was asked to leave her post for being visibly pregnant. A found tape of her speaking in 2008 suggests maybe she actually wanted to leave her dead-end job teaching special-ed to scale the career ladder instead. 
. . . 
"It goes to show that Warren has a habit of making things up, not just for personal advantage, not just to appear a hero, the way Joe Biden does, but in her case, specifically to advance a false left wing 'narrative.'
"She claimed her Indian ancestry derived from a mixed-race marriage among her ancestors resulted in discrimination - a truly phony claim given that there was no recent Indian ancestor - but it was useful to claim for the lefty 'narrative' that America, even in a nice place like Oklahoma, was brimming with racists.
"She claimed medical costs in her research were behind most bankruptcies - totally errant, but again, useful for the leftist narrative to advance a the idea of a socialist government takeover of health care. Now she's thrown out this whopper on being ousted for pregancy, making herself part of a labor/women's grievance narrative always experiencing pregnancy discrimination because the discriminators even in lefty woke educational institutions are rampant in society. It's nonsense."
"It's a lefty vision of a world that doesn't exist which is why it's constantly trapping her and exposing her as a liar."

Swedish Teen Greta Thunberg Lectures Iowans on Climate Change Hoax, ‘Teenagers and Children Know Better Than Adults’

The Gateway Pundit
First David Hogg, now Greta Thunberg.

"16-year-old Swedish green activist Greta Thunberg lectured Iowans on Friday about the Climate Change hoax and asserted that teenagers and children know better than adults.
"Thunberg has a myriad of mental health issues. She is autistic, has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and suffers from Asperger syndrome, but she knows what’s best for the world — just ask her.
“We teenagers and children shouldn’t have to take the responsibility. But right now, the world leaders keep acting like children, and somebody needs to be the adult in the room,” Thunberg said to a huge crowd in Iowa on Friday.
Thunberg also appeared before US lawmakers to lecture the US on the climate hoax.
"Meanwhile China and India continue to be the world’s biggest polluters because Climate Change legislation isn’t about the environment, it’s about a global scheme to redistribute wealth.
"Marxists always prey on the innocent and children." . . .

Bill Kristol might regret his Twitter poll pitting Mitt Romney against Donald Trump

Twitchy  "As you’ve heard, President Donald Trump fired back after Sen. Mitt Romney posted a couple of critical tweets suggesting that there could be no other motivation for Trump to ask for assistance looking into the Bidens and Ukraine and China than political, calling it “wrong and appalling.”
“ 'If Mitt worked this hard on Obama, he could have won,” Trump replied Saturday.
"There’s a lot of chatter on Twitter about who’s right — Romney or Trump — but Never Trumper Bill Kristol decided to start a poll asking who was more respected: Trump or Romney. Kristol called Twitter a hellscape, meaning we’re pretty sure he knew which way his poll would go, and after just six hours and more than 133,662 votes, Trump is way out ahead." . . .




Trolling the left: Climate ‘activist’ at AOC event: ‘We have to eat the babies’.

One of Ocasio-Cortez's constituents loses her mind over climate change during AOC's townhall, claims we only have a few months left: "We got to start eating babies! We don't have enough time! ... We have to get rid of the babies! ... We need to eat the babies!"
https://www.americanthinker.com/cartoons/
Climate ‘activist’ at AOC event: ‘We have to eat the babies’

It’s unclear at this point whether she was trolling (she has to be trolling, right?) the Congresswoman and climate change or if she is just so far gone to the radical progressive indoctrination surrounding climate change that she inadvertently made a mockery of the event. Either way, it’s interesting to watch.
 "A woman at Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s town hall today took climate extremism to the next level. After saying the Green New Deal is great but it doesn’t work fast enough, she declared her own plan: eating children.

"Donning a t-shirt that read, “Save the Planet, Eat the Children,” the unhinged rant she delivered declared that bombing Russia would not be enough because there would still be too many people. She referred to a Swedish scientist who declared earlier this year that we need to start eating human corpses to fight climate change, but even that insane concept was far too sane for this activist." . . .

Viral Video About Eating Babies at AOC Town Hall Was Staged by Pro-Trump Group
"The woman may be part of a fringe political group known for conducting political stunts, according to a connection highlighted by Gizmodo, a tech-focused publication, which cites Operation Chaos author Matthew Sweet."

What Is The LaRouche Cult? The Group Taking Credit For ‘Eating Babies’ Ocasio-Cortez Troll
. . . "The group’s stunt is “a fairly well-established tactic” for it, Matthew Sweet, a historian who has documented the group, said according to WaPo. Conspiracy theorist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. founded the LaRouche PAC.
“ 'They’ve been doing this since the ’70s,” Sweet told WaPo. “The tactic is you go to a political meeting and you create a disturbance that disrupts the meeting, and more importantly, that creates a kind of chaos.' ” . . .
. . . LaRouche Jr. built up his following, which reaches across the world, “based on conspiracy theories, economic doom, anti-Semitism, homophobia and racism,” WaPo wrote in an obituary on LaRouche Jr., who died in 2019. He ran for president eight times between 1976 and 2004.  . . .
