American College of Pediatrics Reaches Decision: Transgenderism of Children is Child Abuse!

American College of Pediatrics Reaches Decision: Transgenderism of Children is Child Abuse!:


"THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PEDIATRICIANS ISSUED A STATEMENT THIS WEEK CONDEMNING GENDER RECLASSIFICATION IN CHILDREN BY STATING THAT TRANSGENDERISM IN CHILDREN AMOUNTS TO CHILD ABUSE.
The stories have been rampant of parents treating their little boys as girls because they “thought they identified” that way."

"Seeking government revenue"?-----Consumer Reports Says 42 Percent Want More Taxes On Soda | Science Codex

Consumer Reports Says 42 Percent Want More Taxes On Soda | Science Codex:
"Consumer Reports took a survey of 1,010 adults to gauge interest in using “behavior” or “sin” taxes as government weapons against obesity.
...Seeking government revenue, municipalities across the nation are seeking to hike taxes on some sugar-sweetened drinks (but controversially not others) as a way to reduce sugar consumption and calories and help prevent obesity and related chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
Though it has failed in cities like Berkeley, calories went up rather than down while soda revenue simply shifted to surrounding areas, while in Philadelphia it's cheaper to buy beer than soda, Consumer Reports seeks to lend credibility to calls for more.
Namely, that the public is demanding more taxes.
...With over 60 percent of people overweight, it makes sense that 42 percent might believe higher taxes will prevent it, but that has never been the case.
In New York City, as the American Council on Science and Health has shown, huge tax increases just led to a huge black market, and when government told police to crack down on sales of individual cigarettes to protect declining cigarette tax revenue, the highly controversial death of Eric Garner occurred.
That's the problem with government controlling behavior...."

2.7-Million-Year-Old Ice Exposes Al Gore as Complete Fraud

2.7-Million-Year-Old Ice Exposes Al Gore as Complete Fraud
"...Now, a piece of 2.7-million-year-old ice is exposing his (Gore's) agenda as a complete fraud.
According to Science Daily, it was announced earlier this week “that a core drilled in Antarctica has yielded 2.7-million-year-old ice, an astonishing find 1.7 million years older than the previous record-holder.
“Bubbles in the ice contain greenhouse gases from Earth’s atmosphere at a time when the planet’s cycles of glacial advance and retreat were just beginning, potentially offering clues to what triggered the ice ages,” the article reads.
And what caused those ice ages? 
Low carbon dioxide levels.
...The paper revealed that carbon dioxide levels during the era in question “did not exceed 300 parts per million, well below today’s levels.” 
That would be a necessary precondition to cause a series of ice ages.
...Nobody wants to see another ice age — and it seems unlikely that we’ll get there, even though some climate scientists warned us one was imminent back in the 1970s.
It’s time that we just admit that the science simply isn’t settled and that doomsday is not right around the corner. 
Liberals like Al Gore can’t have it both ways. 
Either the science is settled or it’s fluid — and the evidence seems to suggest that it’s likely the latter.
That means all of the hysterics are nothing more than fraud."

#1 This day 1950-----GORDON JENKINS & THE WEAVERS - GOODNIGHT IRENE

Thank God for "expert advice"!-----Here’s how to avoid wrecking your car during the eclipse - The Verge

Here’s how to avoid wrecking your car during the eclipse - The Verge:
"...DON’T LOOK AT THE ECLIPSE WHILE DRIVING

There are more ways to drive distracted than ever, from in-car Wi-Fi to Snapchat to Pokémon Go (which has already claimed one driver’s life). So apologies if this sounds repetitive, but really don’t do it. Plan ahead. If you really want to view the eclipse (remember: solar filter glasses), do it from somewhere that’s not your driver’s seat.

DON’T PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY EITHER

Obvious? Sure. But the path of totality will cross more than 20 interstates, and the eclipse is expected to last less than three minutes, which means the temptation to just pull over quick and take a peak will be overwhelming. But don’t do it. If you’re standing on the side of an interstate staring up at the sky, you won’t see that 18-wheeler bearing down on you until it’s too late.

THERE WILL BE MANY, MANY PEDESTRIANS OUT — DON’T KILL THEM

Motorists will be forgiven for thinking they’ve stumbled onto the set of The Walking Dead,given the hordes of pedestrians that will be out, staring zombie-like at the sky and not paying attention to their surroundings. You, the driver, will be operating a two-ton vehicle in their midst. Be mindful.

You ought to know!

NAACP Leader Defends Confederate Statues | The Daily Caller

NAACP Leader Defends Confederate Statues | The Daily Caller:

"Lee continued talking about Confederate statues, noting that it is pointless to take them down.
“You know that’s history,” Lee said. “That was in that point in time. You can’t eliminate what history is. So I disapprove with young people localpulling down those statues.”
Lee put the tragic events of Charlottesville into perspective by pointing out that lives were lost – all because some people didn’t want to look at an object anymore."

Oops: CNN Changed its SPLC Hate Group Story

Oops: CNN Changed its SPLC Hate Group Story
"On August 17, CNN published a story with the headline: “Here Are All The Active Hate Groups Where You Live.” 
Was it a concise list of Nazi groups? 
No. It was the SPLC “hate map” and the “917 hate groups” that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) designated as dangerous. 
The post was just SPLC’s regurgitated map and list, given without comment, context or qualification.

A few hours later, CNN changed its story. 
Completely. 
The headline now reads: “The Southern Poverty Law Center’s List of Hate Groups.” 
Where before, it was promoting SPLC’s hate map as its own, now it merely (and meekly) links to the SPLC website.

Before, CNN had given a complete list of the “hate groups,” including the Alliance Defending Freedom, ACT for America, the Family Research Council, and the American Family Association. 

It has since removed the list and replaced them with, “To see the SPLC’s full list, click here. (link) 

And for the SPLC’s explanation of why the organizations made the list, click here. (link)”

CNN originally had, “Scroll down to see the hate groups that operate out of your state.”

Nowhere in either article is there mention of the fact that Floyd Lee Corkins used the SPLC hate map to find his target, the Family Research Council.

CNN essentially reinforced the SPLC’s longstanding attacks against conservative groups. The SPLC hate map actually led to a shooting and an act of domestic terrorism."
