EXCLUSIVE: An "ugly" chapter that didn't make the Bestseller Book: The Politically Incorrect Guide® to Climate Change
Marc Morano of Climate Deport has given me exclusive publication of this special chapter, that is not included in the book. It details all of the comparisons to Holocaust deniers and RICO and death threats, etc. against climate skeptics. He writes:
Excerpts:
The Earth does not have a fever. Scientific evidence simply doesn’t support the belief that man-made climate change is a catastrophic threat to the planet. And unreliable climate models are poor substitutes for actual data.
Then why don’t more scientists buck the “consensus”?
The answer is simple.
Anyone who questions the climate change scare is attacked and threatened. As more and more scientists speak out, dissenting from the climate change orthodoxy, the attacks against them have increased...

Climate campaigners seem to think: If you can’t counter the message, silence the messenger.
From smears to intimidation to name-calling to lawsuits and threats of criminal prosecution, climate activists are leaving no stone unturned.
Activists—and “reporters” for theoretically objective media outlets— have targeted skeptical scientists.…

Black Gay Vet Scorches Democrat Party, Reveals What Drove Him To Become Conservative
Black Gay Vet Scorches Democrat Party, Reveals What Drove Him To Become Conservative:
“I didn’t lose friends when I came out as gay. I’ve lost friends since coming out as Republican,” Smith told Watters.
“People do not understand it and these are the… left, that’s supposed to be so tolerant and inclusive. These are the people who were the first to shun me when I came out as conservative.”
“I have been called everything but child of God,” he added.

Colluding to steal YOUR vote!-----Noncitizens find it easy to register to vote, cast ballots - Washington Times
Noncitizens find it easy to register to vote, cast ballots - Washington Times
"A Russian national or any other noncitizen can easily influence a U.S. election by simply registering to vote in California — just ask Elizaveta Shuvalova.
Ms. Shuvalova said she didn’t even know her name was added to the San Francisco voter rolls in 2012, when she was a 21-year-old Russian citizen living legally in the U.S. but ineligible to vote.
“I’ve never registered for anything in my entire life,” said Ms. Shuvalova, who became a U.S. citizen early last year.
“This is news to me.”
The Washington Times obtained a San Francisco County voter log that detailed Ms. Shuvalova’s registration history and presented the document to her.
It showed that she signed up as a Democrat in July 2012 and that her registration was canceled in May 2016 after she told election officials she wasn’t a citizen.
Her registration, as a Republican, was reactivated in March 2017.
“This is definitely a shocker to me.
It is like an identity fraud because this is not coming from my end,” said Ms. Shuvalova, who now lives in New York, works as a personal trainer and calls herself a Democrat.
“Like I told you, I haven’t even been a citizen during that time frame. So what can we do about it?”..."

Smug Seattle keeps throwing money after streetcar, bike lane fiasco that’s totally off the rails | Fox News
"...The idealistic leftists who control the Council are wasting millions of hard-earned taxpayer dollars in failed attempts to solve problems the Council members created.
All this is turning Seattle into the poster city for the failure of Big Government.
The city best known for fish markets, coffee stores, rain and flannel-wearing musicians is now becoming legendary for its incompetent leadership and its financial boondoggles.
The latest example of Seattle senselessness is the Council’s costly and deeply flawed efforts to get more people riding public transportation and bicycles.
Other than spending lots of money, this effort isn’t accomplishing anything.
...Taxpayers are paying a big price for the incompetence of city officials.
The public transportation system in Seattle is a mess.
Construction costs for new and upgraded streetcar and light rail lines are skyrocketing well above estimated costs.
One of the more unbelievable mistakes made was the purchase of 10 new streetcars last fall. Apparently, when the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) ordered the cars no one thought to check the measurements.
The order was placed for street cars that are likely too big for the tracks and the maintenance barn.
The project is already $50 million over budget, not including the $52 million it cost for the 10 cars that may be useless.
How has no one been fired for this?...

"The massive fires that took the lives of over 40 people in California were not the only devastating wildfires as of late.
...Since the 1970s, the number of forest fires in the United States has remained fairly constant, but there’s been a significant uptick in the size of these blazes.
The average wildfire is now twice the size of fires of 40 years ago.
...2015 Reason Foundation study noted...“While it is possible that climate change has played a role in increasing the size of fires, the primary cause seems to be forest management practices, which have changed several times over the course of the past 200 years,” the study said.
The United States Forest Service, which manages most of America’s wilderness, made some big changes in the 1970s that many say have led to our modern predicament.
The selective clearing of forests, in which only certain trees are removed, had been highly successful in the past.
...“In 1976 Congress tried to resolve the debate by instituting a comprehensive forest planning process,” wrote Randal O’Toole, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute.
“The resulting plans proved to be a costly mistake: The agency spent more than a billion dollars planning the national forests, but the plans were often based on fabricated data, and they did not resolve any debates.”
Nearly a half century of bureaucratic centralization and environmentalist initiatives have left forests overgrown, vulnerable to fire, and dangerous to individual property owners and the economies of many states..."

But he says little if any of that help came during Obama’s time in office.
“Do you know that I cannot get the radical left to do something about it?” Booyens said Thursday at Turning Point USA’s High School Leadership Summit. “Do you know that we could not get the Obama White House to do something about it?”
President Donald Trump’s administration, on the other hand, has been very active in fighting trafficking, Booyens said.
