Predatory lawsuits-----California Democratic Party Sues Conservative College Students In Unprecedented Move | Daily Wire
California Democratic Party Sues Conservative College Students In Unprecedented Move | Daily Wire:
"...The Democrats’ lawsuit, which was filed in Sacramento Superior Court last Thursday, alleges that the College Republicans and other conservative activists “misled” voters in their successful signature gathering effort to recall Senator Newman.
The suit names Amanda McGuire, Brooke Paz, and Ryan Hoskins (pictured below) as defendants in the suit, for volunteering their weekends to talk to constituents about the cost of Newman’s vote to the district’s taxpayers.
The recall effort gathered nearly 85,000 signatures in a matter of several weeks, due to constituents’ frustration and anger at Newman’s vote on the gas tax.
The Democrat Party has alleged that recall organizers, which also included dozens of local conservatives of all ages, lied to voters about the true nature of the recall campaign by claiming that the recall would repeal the gas tax.
...Once Democrats in the state legislature realized that the recall petition was moving forward at a record pace, they scrambled to develop a number of subversive methods that would stop the lawful recall by the voters.
...Amanda McGuire, who is Vice-President of the College Republicans, asserted that "the lawsuit is a shameful and frantic attempt to silence voters of the district.
The intimidation tactics espoused by the California Democrats should no longer be tolerated.
It's gone too far when college students are being dragged into court for becoming involved with the issues faced by their local cities..."

Life on Earth was nearly doomed by too little CO2 | Watts Up With That?
Life on Earth was nearly doomed by too little CO2 | Watts Up With That?:
"During the last ice age, too little atmospheric carbon dioxide almost eradicated mankind
...Statistician Bjorn Lomborg had already pointed out that the Paris CO2 emission promises would cost $100 trillion dollars that no one has, and make only a 0.05 degree difference in Earth’s 2100 AD temperature.
...What few realize, however, is that during the last Ice Age too little CO2 in the air almost eradicated mankind.
That’s when much-colder water in oceans (that were 400 feet shallower than today) sucked most of the carbon dioxide from the air; half of North America, Europe and Asia were buried under mile-high glaciers that obliterated everything in their paths; and bitterly cold temperatures further retarded plant growth.
In fact, Earth’s atmosphere had only about 180 parts per million CO2, compared to today’s 400 ppm: 0.018% then versus 0.040% today.
...When that Ice Age ended, moreover, CO2 changes didn’t lead the warming. The atmospheric CO2 only began to recover about 800 years after the warming started.
Carbon dioxide truly is “the gas of life...”

Uh Oh, Pollsters Are Screwing Up Again | The Daily Caller
Uh Oh, Pollsters Are Screwing Up Again | The Daily Caller:
"Most national pollsters are back churning out biased and misleading poll numbers after recovering from their shock over President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory, according to The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group analysis.
“I do know inherently there is a Democratic bias in the polls.
And most of them will deny it” says Raghavan Mayur, an independent pollster who is president of TechnoMetrica, which leads the polling operations at Investor’s Business Daily.
A national financial news organization, IBD was one of the few polling organizations to predict a Trump victory, and it has accurately called the last four presidential elections.
“Typically, the mainstream media and the major polling companies will never admit their bias to you,” Mayur said.
“This is like an alcoholic not admitting to using alcohol. They are in denial.”
Democratic pollster Patrick Caddell agreed with Mayur, saying “there was a couple of days of shock. And then they moved on because what they could not do is to get to the bottom of their own polling bias.”
...When polling the public, most mainstream firms “overloaded for Democrats, underloaded for Republicans and conservatives,” said Francis Coombs, managing editor of Rasmussen Reports.
John Zogby, another independent pollster, also told TheDCNF he sees significant Democratic polling bias.
“I am a liberal Democrat, but I always felt that other polls oversampled Democrats and undersampled Republicans,” he said.
Zogby is the founder of the internationally acclaimed Zogby poll and a senior partner at John Zogby Strategies."

Hacked DNC servers: Will government ever be given access? | Fox News:
"As President Trump reportedly questions Russian President Vladimir Putin on alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election, there is a growing focus on a different, as-yet-unanswered question: Where are the Democratic National Committee servers that were allegedly breached by Russian hackers, and has anyone in the government been able to look at them?
The notion that Russia interfered with the U.S. election is based in part, if not largely, on an investigation into the DNC's computer servers. "

"While test scores in Alabama schools generally mirror poverty levels, poverty is only one factor, research has shown.
The Alabama state department of education's chief academic officer Dr. Barbara Cooper is charged with improving achievement for the 730,000 students in Alabama's public schools.
"Even in places where students are affluent, there is still a black-white achievement gap," she said.

"So poverty is not the answer there.
"These students are still performing significantly below [their white peers], and their parents are making six figures..."
