Earth Day’s Big Lie

Earth Day’s Big Lie

A global propaganda campaign will glorify Earth Day and its message is that you must change your life to accommodate the lies that sustain the environmental movement and permit government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency to strangle the economic life of the nation.
On Earth day there will be thousands of events to promote its anti-energy, anti-technology, and anti-humanity message.
There are thousands, of environmental organizations. Here, for example, are some Earth Day recommendations from the Natural Resources Defense Council.
  • Wash clothing in cold water. According to the NRDC, “this saves a great deal of money as the bulk of the energy tied to clothes washing is used to heat water.”
  • Cut clothes dryer energy by 20 to 40 percent. “It is more efficient to spin waterout of clothing than bake it out in the dryer.”
  • Select the ‘normal’ or ‘standard’ picture setting on your TV.
An environmental group called the Food Tank recommends the following:
  • Get in touch with agriculture. “This time of year, many people are starting to plan vacations.” Forget Disney Land; instead choose a “farm-stay” in which participants spend a few days or weeks living with a host family…helping around the farm in exchange for free food and lodging.”
  • “Buy food with less packaging.” This ignores the fact that modern packaging ensures the safety of the foods you purchase. Even ancient civilizations either burned refuse or created landfills.
  • Do-it-Yourself projects such as “turning old t-shirts into produce bags to save plastic, starting seeds in eggshells…”
Behind the many Earth Day suggestions is the environmentalists’ insistence on a general return to an era when household tasks were undertaken without machines that used electricity, before the ubiquitous benefits of plastic, and less cars were on the roads. In the 1940s my late mother had to wash clothes by hand and hang them in the back yard or basement to dry. Food was kept cool in an ice box before the invention ofrefrigerators. This is Earth Day’s idea of saving the Earth.
Everyone wants clean air and clean water. We have it. The Clean Air and Clean WaterActs of the 1970s have achieved their goals. Substituting “clean energy” such as solar and wind power has proven to be expensive and impractical as neither of these produce sufficient energy (about 3% at present) to power America. Taxpayers have lost billions in the government loans made to solar and wind power companies while traditional sources of power contribute billions to the economy.

The Earth is not endangered, nor should it be worshipped as a pagan religion

Behind environmentalism is panoply of schemes intended to enrich those who advocate “global warming” and/or “climate change.” Governments around the world are abandoning “clean energy” programs and returning to traditional and abundant forms of energy.
The “science” behind climate change and the claim of a “consensus” among the world’s scientists is a lie. Computer models have been rigged to produce “warming” data while the planet has been in a natural cooling cycle for the last seventeen years!
On Earth Day, you will be assailed by these and countless other claims, but you will do yourself and the Earth a big favor if you ignore them.

An American savors the language of Margaret Thatcher's funeral

An American savors the language of Margaret Thatcher's funeral by Andrew Malcolm - Investors.com:
"Bishop Chartres certainly lived up to his charge.
Here's Chartres' very first sentence: "After the storm of a life lived in the heat of political controversy, there is a great calm." 
And there was in his ensuing pause, a great calm in that historic church at that moment."

Obama's plan for $25 Trillion in Debt

Obama's plan for $25 Trillion in Debt | Do It Yourself Capitalism
Well, thanks to some overworked aide in Paul Ryan's office, we now have a reasonable summary of what the President would like to do to us if he gets his way. Ready for this?
 
(1) $8.2 Trillion in New Debt
(2) $1.1 Trillion in New Taxes
(3) $964 Billion in New Spending above Projected Growth
(4) Total U.S. debt in 2023: $25.4 trillion, up from the current $16. 8 trillion.
(5) The President's Budget Never Balances—Ever.
 
Now we never again have to wonder whether President Obama respects the lawful ministerial obligations of his office. He has no respect for his legal duty to propose a timely, conscientious budget to the American people. Secondly, we never need to debate whether President Obama ever intended to do anything to lower the crushing national debt. As of last Tuesday, we know that the President wants this country to increase the national debt load from its current $16.8 trillion at this writing to $25.4 TRILLION.

Arrested 396 times, woman knows how to work the system - Chicago Sun-Times:
 "The frustrating truth: The system — strapped by overcrowded prisons and cuts to mental health funding — hasn’t been able to save Miles from herself or to help the communities she menaces.
Nothing has worked.
Not jail.
Not prison.
Not countless psychological exams for the woman described as being “acutely psychotic.”

Under-fire state agency director vows to go after fraud at $3,500 threshold

Under-fire state agency director vows to go after fraud at $3,500 threshold | Crain's Detroit Business:
"Steve Arwood, director of Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and the state Unemployment Insurance Agency, was grilled by lawmakers recently after a report in the Detroit Free Press showed that his agency was dealing only with fraud claims above $15,000.

According to the report, agency officials were told not to show up at administrative hearings for fraud cases unless the amount of fraudulently claimed benefits was at least $15,000.

That upset lawmakers because they passed a law last year that made such fraud a potential felony for anything above $3,500. The lawmakers were not happy that the agency decided not to follow suit with enforcement. "

Former Flint schools financial chief claims district fired her because she is black

Former Flint schools financial chief claims district fired her because she is black | MLive.com:

Pabst alleged that Flint schools Interim Superintendent Lawrence Watkins told Derricks after the Lansing meeting that the district had difficulty interacting with state education officials because "there were a lot of white faces looking at the poor blacks from Flint Community Schools."
"They just got a white face to interface with the Lansing people," Pabst said of the district's decision to remove Derricks.
Flint school' spokesman Bob Campbell declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Attorneys representing the district filed a motion seeking a more definitive statement in Derricks' complaint, arguing the lawsuit is "so vague or ambiguous that (the district) can not properly prepare a response," to the allegations, according to court records. 
School board members in January approved contracting financial services to Linda Holloway, a Certified Public Accountant with CIVA, LLC. The board will pay Holloway $120 per hour for financial work and $150 per hour for attending to "board meetings and consultation," according to the board resolution.
The decision to hire Holloway came following the departure of former district Superintendent Linda Thompson. Prior to Thompson's departure, the board criticized her for poor management and financial oversight.
But, Pabst said that Derricks did a satisfactory job with the district.
"They never told her she did anything wrong," said Pabst.
