Fake weather reporting? - Ice Age Now:
"Look at these two contrasting reports and see what you think.
"Look at these two contrasting reports and see what you think.
“I wonder which side of the “Climate Wars” Intellicast weather service is on?” asks reader.
“Here is the forecast map for high temperatures today from Intellicast:”
“Here is the forecast map for high temperatures today from Intellicast:”
“Notice the temperatures are quite seasonal, but the color scale chosen is quite inappropriate for North America in September. We are not likely to need to depict temperatures in the -30 F range any time soon, but the range chosen makes 60s F orange and 70s F Red.”“We’re burning up!”
“Contrast this to the U.S. National Weather Service map for the same date:”
“I believe these colors more accurately convey the “feel” of a fall day.”
“Kudos to the NWS.”
Fake weather reporting? You decide. But even if the words are true, I think the Intellicast graphic is at the very least very misleading.

Chloe Bressack, Florida teacher, gives gender-neutral lessons to children - Washington Times
Chloe Bressack, Florida teacher, gives gender-neutral lessons to children - Washington Times:
"So when a fifth-grade teacher requested that students address her with nongendered pronouns such as “they” and “them,” it stirred consternation among parents (if not education officials) in the state’s capital city — and abroad.
Chloe Bressack, a 23-year-old math and science teacher at Canopy Oaks Elementary School in Tallahassee, recently sent a letter to parents that has gone viral on social media and made international headlines.
“One thing you should know about me is that I use gender neutral terms,” Ms. Bressack said in the single-page letter. “My prefix is Mx. (pronounced Mix)."

The Quiet Islamic Conquest of Spain
- "Evicted five centuries ago by crusading Christians, the Arabs are back in Spain, using their oil dollars to buy land that was seized from their ancestors by the sword". — James M. Markham, The New York Times, 1981.
- The Madrid daily ABC wrote that 800 mosques in Spain are out of control. The Spanish daily La Razon charged that Gulf donors, such as Qatar, were a source of Spain's Islamization. The Saudis also launched a new Spanish television channel, Córdoba TV, as did Iran.
- They dream of, and work to, regain the "lost Caliphate" of Spain. Some Islamists do it with bombs and car-ramming attacks. Others, more surreptitiously, do it with money and dawa, Islamic propaganda. The second way may be even more effective than the first.
The ceremony in 2003 was announced with bombastic headlines:
"After a wait of more than 500 years, Spanish Muslims, have finally succeeded in building a mosque of their own in the shadow of the Alhambra, once the symbol of Islamic power in Europe".
A troupe from al Jazeera was sent to follow the event: a muezzin climbed to the minaret of the Great Mosque of Granada to call the faithful to prayer for the first time in five centuries..."

ICE nabs nearly 500 aliens in sweep of sanctuary cities - Washington Times:
"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it netted more than 100 migrants in Los Angeles and Philadelphia each, and dozens more in Baltimore, Chicago, Denver and New York, among other sanctuary jurisdictions.
Of the 498 aliens caught, 310 of them were targets and the other 188 were “collateral” arrests of illegal immigrants whom officers encountered while going after their targets, the agency said.
ICE officials also said they’re seeing an increase in resistance from aliens as they step up enforcement of the law. Through the first 11 months of fiscal year 2017, the agency recorded 37 assaults on officers, compared to just nine assaults in all of 2016."

Articles: The Free Lunch Slide into Socialism
"New York City's Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina recently announced the new "Free School Lunch for All" for the big Apple's public schools.
This means that the entire public-school population, some 1.1 million students, will now be provided with free lunches irrespective of family income.
Prior to this, approximately 75 percent of the city's students were getting free lunches.
...To the precious few in New York City who worry about the cost of public education, officials say not to fret.
This added expenditure won't adversely affect the school's budget.
It's "cost free" to the city as the tab will be paid out of state and federal funds.
That's me and you.
Incidentally, NYC is not breaking new ground here.
Cities including Boston, Dallas, Chicago, and Detroit are already offer free lunches in all in their respective public school..."

Hillary’s legacy in Libya could affect you! « Refugee Resettlement Watch
"UN short-circuiting the flow from Libya to Europe by sending migrants to the good ol’ welcoming USA?
Hillary, along with her gal pals Susan Rice and Samantha Power, are the leading culprits in the Obama Administration’s disastrous involvement in the overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and the creation of a failed state that has become a primary route for the migrant invasion of Europe.
Now we learn that the UN, partially in hopes of saving the present Italian government (Italians are pretty angry about the Libya to Italy express), is planning to open up a refugee holding facility in Tripoli where migrants will be detained until they can be moved to transit centers.
But, guess what!
Most in the transit centers will go to Canada, Norway, and drum roll—the United States.
Hillary gloats about knocking off Gaddafi turning Libya into a completely unstable hell hole, and America gets more refugees!"
