Hillary Clinton Can’t Be President.

I know, laws are for the “little people” but if we were still a land of laws Hillary would be prohibited from holding the office of President, or any office. And she’s not alone.

Did Climate Cultists Just “Defrock” One of Their Own

95-theses-jpg

A well known French Weatherman, Philippe Verdier, (a person who presents the weather, not a French Bill Ayers) was sacked by leading French news channel France Télévisions after publishing a book that questioned Climate cult dogma.

He said he was inspired to write the book after France’s Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius met with TV meteorologists and asked them to highlight climate change issues in their broadcasts.

ACCCE Statement on Senator Kelly Ayotte’s Support for President Obama’s Costly and Illegal Clean Power Plan

Washington, D.C. — American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity Senior Vice President of Communications Laura Sheehan today issued the following statement regarding Senator Kelly Ayotte’s support for President Obama’s costly and illegal carbon regulations.

“As a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2010, Ayotte opposed cap and trade legislation which was then resoundingly defeated by Congress. Her latest ads now tout her support for the President’s unconstitutional regulation. Senator Ayotte needs to remember that this illegal plan is cap and trade in every way but name only and just as it was bad for New Hampshire before, it is bad for New Hampshire now.”

When Government stops supporting winners, they oft become the losers

Green CarThe losers that the private marketplace already judged them to be from the get-go.  Obama famously said he’d put a million electric cars on the road – he hasn’t.  But is that the purview of Government or even being the President, to decree to citizens what kinds of cars (and the energy they use) out of the blue under the Progressive / Socialist rubric (and “tell”) “It’s good for you”?  Progressive Socialists certainly think so – look at all the tax monies that have been wasted propping up “green” companies that then go belly up – in fields that the marketplace has already judged them to be poor value.

The problem is that States also followed along like timid sheep in the “helping to pick winners” with all – like Georgia (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Without Government Subsidy, Electric Car Sales Crash in Georgia

For more than 15 years, Georgia offered one of the country’s most generous tax credits for people who bought electric cars.  But the $5,000 subsidy went away three months ago, and a look by Watchdog.org at how the tax credit’s expiration has affected sales shows a dramatic drop in the number of all-electric cars such as Teslas and Nissan Leafs purchased in the Peach State.

A very good question: Western values or Islamic values

From Powerline. Lord knows that I rail about pop culture values a lot here: Political Correctness, collapse of respect for The Rule of Law, the ascendancy of “political expediency” over “right and wrong” from the Political Class, the fall from grace of absolute moral values from attack of moral relativity and equivalency (which is to say, a nihilistic view of “right and wrong”) – I could go on for a while.  Yet, this shows the dark underbelly of Muslim values and subjugation of women in fundamentalist Islamic societies. Bikini vs Burkha

My only question is, where are the big “F” Feminists on this? Or is the reason we hear the quiet of crickets from them is that they know that while they can pick on Western men, the Middle Eastern (et al) Muslims males would beat the crap out of them?  After all, remember what happened to Lara Logan just trying to do some reporting? Or what is now going on in Europe as the Muslim invasion migration consisting mostly military aged Muslim males are bringing their values to those Western countries?  Not working well and gives truth to the picture.

This is the rot of

Instead of being thankful for taking in migrants…

You really think that what is going on in Europe is only a set of bedraggled migrants seeking succor from the vicissitudes of war?  Then you have no sense of history.  The real question is whether or not Western Society has enough love for itself to not let it fall from within.  I have my doubts as all I keep seeing here in the US, especially from the Left and Academia (but I repeat myself) is quite the self-loathing of our history and our culture.  So watch this and listen.  Yes, I normally write here to ignore politician’s words and only watch their actions.  Here, I believe the words and actions are aligned together:

Which One Never Belonged

This is a tale of two former members of the Republican Party. One was a Republican with conservative principals – the other – not so much.

Which one leaving the party actually matters?

Tom Tancredo was a Congressman from Colorado for ten years and was ahead of the times regarding illegal occupation of America by foreign border jumpers. He has finally stopped trying to defend the indefensible. He is a free man.

Congressman Tom Tancredo has a list of some specific differences with the Republican elites:

“We got condescending lip service, and nothing more.

*Promises have been broken and principles abandoned, while millions of American families watched their dreams slip further and further out of reach.

*Republican congressional leaders maneuvered to deliver votes to fund President Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty order, and more recently, his unprecedented job-killing EPA rules.

Just thought I’d say it

The reverberations of last week’s GOP Debate and the utter disdain that the CNBC “moderators” (aka, Democrat Socialists with bylines) held towards the candidates have not yet echoed out.  But this from one of the “lions” of the Journalist Class, Carl Bernstein of Watergate investigative reporting fame, said this that caught my eye, even as he said that the lamestream media had better start paying attention to the conservative media:

Bernstein also said that the “contempt for government” Republicans had “was really extraordinary” and “Democrats are going to have to show that government has a reason to exist.”

Well then!   Let’s unpack this backwards:

Hillary: “name two accomplishments”

Really, I did not know that these were accomplishments: “As Secretary of State, she did not fight with Obama” “Being the President’s wife” Given her philandering husband Bill, I’d give her that. But that’s the best these Hillary supporters can come up with? (H/T: Progressives Today)
