30-Years Ago James Hansen Started Government-Made Global Warming

“One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy.” – UN Climate Expert Ottmar Edenhofer

Thirty years ago (the day before yesterday) James Hansen and Sen. Tim Wirth sabotaged the air conditioner in the room where Hansen would be providing testimony on ‘Global Warming.’ The day of (thirty years ago yesterday) was of the hottest days in one of the hottest summers on record, and the stage was set to politicize the weather.

It was a deliberate act of political theatre on the highest order.

Instead of a ‘Trade War’ German Car Makers Propose Tariff Free Trade With United States

tariffTwo weeks ago the Left was predicting a trade apocalypse after Mr. Trump said he wanted our G7 allies to drop their tariffs on US goods or he’d raise ours to match them. As an alternative, on his way out the door to meet with Kim Jong Un (something else no other U.S. President had done), he suggested a tariff and subsidy-free trading zone amongst all G7 nations.

The Democrat Party apocalypse tour shouted good night America! as they looked for their next world-ending Trump Derangement Syndrome induced narrative. But somewhere along the way, Germany’s largest automakers said, “hey, we’d love to end all import tariffs on cars between the EU and the US.”

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Structure Ruled Unconstitutional

650-112817-CFPBThe Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was party to a prosecution in the State of New York under the consumer financial protection act (CFPA). The Defendants contend that the CFPB is unconstitutionally structured and cannot bring the case against them. The US District Court in New York agrees and kicks…

“the CFPB out of the case because the CFPB’s structure (a single director, who does not serve at the pleasure of the president, rather than a board) is unconstitutional; the entire CFPB section should be stricken from the Dodd-Frank Act.”

Gallup Poll: Inaccuracy, Misinformation, and Bias in Media News Coverage

America doesn't trust the media

Gallup’s latest opinion poll adds another nail to the Media coffin.  A growing majority believe it is biased.

Overall, U.S. adults estimate that 62% of the news they read in newspapers, see on television or hear on the radio is biased. They think the news media mostly provide accurate information, but still estimate that 44% of what they see is inaccurate. And they believe that more than a third of the news they see in these channels is misinformation — false or inaccurate information that is presented as if it were true.

Border Patrol Agents Detain Migrants Near US-Mexico BorderTime Magazine’s (literal) poster child for the false family separation narrative was a) never separated from her mother who was b) previously deported by the Obama Administration back in 2013

Jeanne Shaheen’s Hypocrisy on Borders and Executive orders

Jeanne ShaheenJeanne Shaheen is at the front of the line when it comes to the far-left Democrat rhetoric on borders and executive orders. She’s happy to push the false narrative. She got behind Schumer who refused bipartisan reform in favor of political posturing. She even signed on to a bad “immigration reform bill” that could let any parent skirt justice. But where was the sensitive Senator when Barack Obama was caging children and separating families?

A review of her press releases provides the answer.

It always amazes me how fast

WMUR Ray Buckley Jeanie Forrester

From Steve’s post:

Kevin Landrigan also reports some appreciative praise from Ray Buckley.

“I wish Jeanie well. Only someone who has served as state party chair can appreciate the challenges and sacrifices one makes to do the job,” Buckley said.

It is utterly amazing to me how fast someone can become Mother Teresa-like from just being the Devil Incarnate when a Republican resigns.  It seems that the Democrats start to pine for those who have left a Republican position or the political stage (e.g., both Bushes, Romney, even Nixon (to a degree)) and hold them up as “models” to be followed because the latest Republican resident of a given position has now assumed the hateful form with horns, tail, and a pitchfork demeanor. Or that guy with the funny mustache as is now being bandied about because the Democrats love using little children as political pawns.

See Who Got Paid to Push Marsy’s Law On New Hampshire

bribeHat tip to Jeff Chidester and Dan Hynes for the link. And we can’t thank Bob Clegg, Susan Olsen, Nicole Fortune and many others for their work in defeating the most recent attempt to push Marsy’s Law on New Hampshire.

But there will be a second effort because the billionaire behind it still has lots of money to spend and thanks to Dan and Jeff and others we can look at who got paid to push Marsy’s law on the Granite State.

Will you be surprised to see who is on the list?

Merge The Departments of Education and Labor And Other Things To Make Liberals Mad

US-WhiteHouse-Logo.svgMr. Trump has some changes he’d like to make in Washington, and the Left is losing their mind.

The White House on Thursday announced its plan to merge the Departments of Labor and Education into a single Cabinet agency in order to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy and streamline overlapping regulations and department functions.

The two departments would merge into the Department of Education and the Workforce (DEW), aimed at “meeting the needs of American students and workers, from education and skill development to workplace protection to retirement security,” according to a White House outline of the plan.

Get Money Out of Politics Group Silent After PAC Commits 23 Million to One Dem Senator

Pile-Of-MoneyStill no word from “get money out of politics” groups like Open Democracy regarding Billionaire Tom Steyer dumping three-quarters of a million dollars into New Hampshire for the last four-plus months of the 2018 Election cycle.  Not that I expected as much as a peep. Steyer is, after all, one of them. He’s supporting their issues and their candidates.

While we wait for them to find their outrage, here’s a story about one PAC spending $23 million to protect a Democrat “get money out of politics” US Senator who could lose his seat in November.

Quick Thought – No One Has Died Yet Because of This

Net Neutrality hoax

Just like a lot of things that Progressives predicted would come true with horrifying consequences (like Constitutional Carry here in NH where we were told by Progressives and the Coven of Police Chiefs not wanting to see civilians being able to exercise their full Second Amendment Rights), this hasn’t happened either.

Net Neutrality.

Family Separation Week – Trump Gives DHS Discretion “to the extent permitted by law”

smirking-trumpVia an Executive Order titled, “Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Separation,” Mr. Trump has instructed relevant Federal agencies lead by the Department of Homeland Security that they,

 (a)  … , shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of appropriations, maintain custody of alien families during the pendency of any criminal improper entry or immigration proceedings involving their members.

(b)  The Secretary shall not, however, detain an alien family together when there is a concern that detention of an alien child with the child’s alien parent would pose a risk to the child’s welfare.

What does this mean for Family Separation Week?
