DTE Donated More Than $840,000 to Democrats, Pro-Whitmer Groups in 2018 – Michigan Capitol Confidential

DTE Donated More Than $840,000 to Democrats, Pro-Whitmer Groups in 2018 – Michigan Capitol Confidential:

• Consumers Energy was also heavily involved in politicking

"Michigan’s largest electricity and gas utility gave $400,185 to groups that either directly or indirectly spent money on behalf of Gretchen Whitmer before and after her gubernatorial election victory in November 2018, according to recent filings with state energy regulators.
The utility also gave $440,204 to state Democrats and $120,056 to state and national Republicans in 2018.

DTE donated $320,148 to Progressive Advocacy Trust, which the Michigan Campaign Finance Network described as being loosely associated with the Ingham County Democratic Party.
The network ultimately turned around and donated $1.8 million to pro-Whitmer groups during last year’s primary and general elections.
DTE also donated $80,037 to Michigan Transition 2019, which assisted then Gov.-elect Whitmer prepare to take office..."

#BigPicture is *why* govt. officials did that to Trump campaign:

To keep secret what they'd been doing the past decade+
So it's not just about figuring out 2016. 
It's exposing the bigger things they wish to be kept secret.

#BigPicture is *why* Clinton associates would take the risk of destroying emails (and devices) that were under subpoena. 

It's not just about the act of obstruction; it's about what those emails actually said. 

Presumably an even bigger story"

Sociopathic Lies Mark NeverTrumpers’ Descent Into Madness – American Greatness

Sociopathic Lies Mark NeverTrumpers’ Descent Into Madness – American Greatness
"Gabe Schoenfeld, from whose forehead a cuckoo bird emerges, screeching and flapping, whenever the name of the president of the United States is uttered in any context, has earned a new trophy for the confection of defamatory fiction with his attack on Elliot Kaufman, the Wall Street Journal, and me in the unseaworthy lifeboat of The Bulwark, to which he and others were disembarked after the failure of the Weekly Standard.
Schoenfeld purports to debunk an op-ed piece by Kaufman in the Journal on May 20 agreeing with the president’s recent pardon of me.
As a public service, I will, one more time, present the relevant facts about my late persecution, happily and justly ended.
Schoenfeld’s entire piece is a demonstrable sequence of lies, apart from his bilious opinions, which are merely demented and sociopathic..."

Jussie Smollett's Cook County criminal documents ordered unsealed | Fox News

Jussie Smollett's Cook County criminal documents ordered unsealed | Fox News:

An Illinois judge on Thursday ordered "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett's criminal case file unsealed, setting up the release of a wealth of information surrounding the controversial -- and often confusing -- case.
Cook County judge Steven G. Watkins' decision came months after a dizzying set of events: First, Smollett alleged he'd been the victim of a hate crime; after an extensive investigation, Chicago cops arrested Smollett and accused him of faking the supposed attack; and then, Cook County prosecutors suddenly dropped the charges against Smollett and his case was sealed.
But not anymore -- at least, soon.

Forty-Four Things You Should Know about the Green New Deal | Intellectual Takeout

Forty-Four Things You Should Know about the Green New Deal | Intellectual Takeout
"On Feb. 7, US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and US Sen. Ed Markey introduced legislation known as the Green New Deal.
You’ve probably heard of it.
It’s a big deal, to paraphrase Joe Biden.
...Have An Informed Opinion
...But here are 44 facts and reflections on the GND to consider:
1. The GND is necessary, we’re told, because global warming will cause “more than $500,000,000,000 in lost annual economic output in the United States by the year 2100.”
2. That’s a scary number. But even if we accept such a figure, it’s important to note, as Tim Worstall has, that we’re talking about .05 percent of the total US economy in 2100.
3. That $500 billion price tag, in context, is rather small, then — at least compared to what AOC’s legislation would cost. Some estimates put the price tag at $93 trillion..."

Trump Admin Pushes Back On Report Claiming They’ve Built Less Than 2 Miles Of Wall | The Daily Caller

Trump Admin Pushes Back On Report Claiming They’ve Built Less Than 2 Miles Of Wall | The Daily Caller:

The Trump administration is disputing a new report that claims they’ve built less than 2 miles of border wall with nearly $2 billion in funding.
Bloomberg reported Wednesday that the U.S. government has managed to erect just 1.7 miles of bollard fencing with the $1.57 billion appropriated by Congress for wall construction in FY18. The figure came from a court filing by a lawyer for the U.S. House of Representatives and made its way onto the Drudge Report.

‘It’s Just The Weather’: Meteorologist Fact-Checks Ocasio-Cortez On Climate Change | The Daily Caller

‘It’s Just The Weather’: Meteorologist Fact-Checks Ocasio-Cortez On Climate Change | The Daily Caller
"Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested the tornado warning that hit the D.C. area Thursday was part of the “climate crisis” she has previously said humanity only has 12 years left to solve.
“The climate crisis is real y’all,” Ocasio said on Instagram Thursday, “guess we’re at casual tornadoes in growing regions of the country?”
However, she was quickly fact-checked by meteorologist Ryan Maue, who pointed out that far from proof of a “climate crisis,” D.C.’s tornado warning was “just the weather.”

✔@RyanMaue

I thought this was fake but it's from @AOC Instagram story.
No idea what she means with "casual tornadoes" and how this line of severe thunderstorms is proof of any "climate crisis".

It's just the weather in D.C.

Bill Barr Used This One Figure To Prove Nationwide Injunctions Are A Problem | The Daily Caller:

Attorney General William Barr condemned the rise of nationwide injunctions Tuesday, saying such sweeping orders undermine the rule of law.
Nationwide injunctions prohibit the federal government from enforcing a particular law or policy across the entire country. Progressive cause lawyering groups have used such injunctions to stymie a wide array of Trump policy priorities.

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming--Joseph Fournier

"When we read generic news articles that include "scientists are baffled" by Greenland glacial advance, it should trigger the following question of "how does the author know what all scientists think"?
This is one of the biggest lies within mainstream circles being perpetrated, which is that scientists suffer from "Group Think".
Truth is, scientists are some of the most disagreeable people out there and that on the question of human influence on the Earth's energy budget, there is a distribution of opinions.
On the question of climatic change in Greenland, "scientists" know that recent climatic changes in Greenland have been one of cooling and that this has been the prevailing trend for a decade..."

From the comments: ·         Frank Strzalkowski Climate Science has become a Cult. Scientists that disagree are cast out and labled as heretics. That ain't science.
