America’s New Anti-Strategy; Our allies and our enemies have seriously recalculated where the U.S. stands.

Victor Davis Hanson  

"It was not difficult to define American geopolitical strategy over the seven decades following World War II — at least until 2009. It was largely bipartisan advocacy, most ambitiously, for nations to have the freedom of adopting constitutional governments that respected human rights, favored free markets, and abided by the rule of law. And at the least, we sought a world in which states could have any odious ideology they wished as long as they kept it within their own borders. There were several general strategic goals as we calculated our specific aims, both utopian and realistic."
....
"Who knows? But most people abroad fear that we have entered a very dangerous period. It is becoming clear that the United States cannot continue on its present course and still be the United States, and without the United States in the lead, the world cannot remain the world as we have known it since 1945. But, unless a return to sanity arrives before then, the next two and a half years are a window of opportunity for lots of bad people to cash in their chips and take their winnings to the bank."

Arguably the smartest guy on Earth argues that far from harming the planet, atmospheric CO2 may have positive effects

Rush Limbaugh  "He said. "...I would encourage my fellow journalists to keep that in mind in light of the highly touted 'consensus' on the role of carbon dioxide in promoting global warming.  Climate science is infinitely more complicated than human physiology. Once all of the data are in, we may find that atmospheric carbon dioxide actually has the effect predicted by physicist Freeman Dyson of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton."

...."They say, "We can't afford to find out if we're wrong!"  It's how they cover themselves.  Folks, it's a giant hoax, and science cannot possibly be science if there's a consensus.  It's not up to a vote.  They're panicking. They're losing ground. That's Paul Mulshine in the Newark Star-Ledger.  Sorry, Paul, I had to highlight you.  I know it's not gonna help you with your buddies, but it's a good piece. What can I say?  You wrote a good piece." 

Jilted Husband Says Kissing Congressman Is 'The Most Non-Religious Person I Know'

TPM "The husband of the staffer caught kissing Rep. Vance McAllister (R-LA) says that while the congressman ran as a religious man who cherished family values, he wasn't actually religious.

" 'I know his beliefs. When he ran one of his commercials, he said 'I need your prayers,' and I asked, 'When did you get religious?' He said, 'When I needed votes,'" Heath Peacock, 34, told CNN Tuesday. "He broke out the religious card and he's about the most non-religious person I know."

“ 'He has wrecked my life,” Peacock added. “We’re headed for divorce.”

“ 'It was just a kiss, that was all it was, but it embarrassed me and my family.
"This guy has turned my life upside down," he said.

"The couple has been married for six years and have a 6-year-old son, according to CNN." ...  Lucianne.

The incredible hypocrisy of 21st Century feminism

By Alicia Colon at the Jewish World Review   "My first published column was in a local paper opposing the Equal Rights Amendment for the same reasons that Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative lawyer, campaigned on. As ambiguously written, the ERA, would eliminate the men-only draft requirement, repeal protective laws like sexual assault and eliminate the tendency for mothers to obtain custody over their children in divorce cases. Ironically, one of the arguments that helped sink the amendment from ratification was the fear that single-sex bathrooms would no longer be permitted. In addition, opponents of the amendment also warned that it would lead to abortion on demand and same-sex marriages. Since these changes are now part of our lives, it is obvious that a constitutional amendment was unnecessary to radically change our lives. " ... Full Article

Jeb Bush Should Listen to his Mum: Do NOT Run!

Voice of Lillpop   "Over the past 25 years, the American people have exercised extremely poor judgment by electing two members of the Bush clan  to the US presidency.

"Both presidencies have produced calamitous results.

"GW Bush, in particular, did irreparable damage with his adamant refusal to enforce the nation’s borders and immigration laws against invaders from south of our prestigious land.

"So narrow was W’s vision, that, even after the Islamic terrorist attack of 9/11, he blithely refused to take control of the US borders, preferring instead to pursue his wrong-headed, racist view that Hispanics who invade America are generally “good-hearted, hard working” amigos who should be welcomed, rather than deported, notwithstanding the rule of law and well being of US citizens." ....
I must say, however, that I loved the way GW struck fear into the hearts of dictators such as Muammar Gadhaffi (Gadhafi, Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi).
Plus, he loved and honored his troops. TD 

Why Aren’t We No. 1?

Victor Davis Hanson    There is a pastime among liberal pundits — the latest is Nicholas Kristof — to quote a new center left global ranking (with unbiased titles such as “The Social Progress Imperative”) and then to decry that the United States is behind its major industrial competitors in things like “Internet Access” and “Ecosystem sustainability.” The subtext of these rants is that an illiberal, reactionary U.S. does not spend enough on government entitlements to promote parity, equality and social justice among its citizenry. These pessimistic rankings increase the angst about the American condition when viewed from scowling perches in Washington or New York.

U.S. Defense Policy in the Wake of the Ukrainian Affair

"Ever since the end of the Cold War, there has been an assumption that conventional warfare between reasonably developed nation-states had been abolished. During the 1990s, it was expected that the primary purpose of the military would be operations other than war, such as peacekeeping, disaster relief and the change of oppressive regimes. After 9/11, many began speaking of asymmetric warfare and "the long war." Under this model, the United States would be engaged in counterterrorism activities in a broad area of the Islamic world for a very long time. Peer-to-peer conflict seemed obsolete." ...

Uninstall Firefox; Boycotts should be rare, but Mozilla’s intolerance calls for one.

 

Dennis Prager    ... "All these years, the Left, after coining the term “McCarthyism” in order to disparage the Right, had fooled most people into believing that it is the Right that suppresses liberty. The truth, of course, has been the opposite.

"Worldwide, with the exception of Nazi Germany (which was a uniquely race-based totalitarianism, not quite left or right), every genocidal totalitarian regime of the 20th century was leftist. Domestically, too, the Left has shown much less interest in liberty than in forcing people to act in accord with its values. A totalitarian streak is part of the Left’s DNA. To the Left, how you think matters and what you do outside of work matters: More than 20 states prohibit judges from being leaders in the Boy Scouts, because the Left has deemed the group homophobic.

"During the McCarthy era, the Left (and not only the Left) screamed when people were falsely charged with supporting Stalin and Communism, one of the greatest evils in human history. But the Left also screamed when people who really did aid and abet Stalin were dismissed from their jobs." ...

US Vet Beaten by 3 Detroit Men Who Shouted Anti-US Army, Racist, Anti-Gay Slurs – Are They Muslim?

Debbie Schlussel 
"A U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan was brutally beaten by three men at a gas station in the Detroit-area suburb of Westland on Thursday. They shouted anti-U.S. Army slurs at the man, as well as racist and homophobic insults. The men gave a hard time to the clerk at the gas station, and the veteran asked them to stop. When they followed him outside and saw U.S. Army and military insignia on his car, they shouted anti-U.S. Army slurs and also attacked the man, who is White, because they were upset that the U.S. Army allows Blacks to serve. The men were arrested after videotape of them was shown on Detroit’s NBC affiliate."

"If you look at the photos, at least two of the men look like they are Arabs. And the Arabs who live in Westland, not far from Dearbornistan, are generally Muslim. It will be interesting to hear their names, once they are arraigned. I note, also, that the Detroit Free Press’ resident Muslim propagandist, Niraj Warikoo, who writes about religion and Islamic terrorists for whom he makes apologies and performs whitewashes, wrote the Free Pressistan’s “report” on the incident. But his story does not contain ANY information about the men shouting racist slurs at the Army veteran." ...

Peer-Reviewed Paper Encourages Global Warming Proponents To Lie To Further Their Cause…

Weasel Zippers

 

"Because the “science is settled,” or something."

 

The paper appears to support or provide a formula for why lying or “information manipulation” is able to further the cause of man-made global warming and “enhance global welfare.” The authors use a mathematical formula to study information tactics.

The authors, Assistant Professors of Economics Fuhai Hong and Xiaojian Zhao, note how the media and environmental groups “exaggerate” global warming and then the offer their paper to “provide a rationale for this tendency” to exaggerate for the good of the cause.
