Fast Food Workers: You Don’t Deserve $15 an Hour to Flip Burgers, and That’s OK | TheBlaze.com:
"Dear fast food workers,
It’s come to my attention that many of you, supposedly in 230 cities across the country, are walking out of your jobs today and protesting for $15 an hour. You earnestly believe — indeed, you’ve been led to this conclusion by pandering politicians and liberal pundits who possess neither the slightest grasp of the basic rules of economics nor even the faintest hint of integrity — that your entry-level gig pushing buttons on a cash register at Taco Bell ought to earn you double the current federal minimum wage."

Holi crapoli! This is scary!---Europe faces a 'real threat' from Russia, warns US army commander
Europe faces a 'real threat' from Russia, warns US army commander - Telegraph:
"The commander of the US army in Europe has warned that Nato must remain united in the face of a "real threat" from Russia.
"It's not an assumption. There is a Russian threat," Lt-Gen Frederick "Ben" Hodges said.
"You've got the Russian ambassador threatening that Denmark will be a nuclear target if it participates in any missile defence programme.
And when you look at the unsafe way Russian aircraft are flying without transponders in proximity to civilian aircraft, that's not professional conduct."
Gen Hodges spoke to the Telegraph on the sidelines of a military debriefing after an exercise to move live Patriot missiles 750 miles across Europe by road and deploy them on the outskirts of Warsaw.
The sight of a US military convoy crossing the German-Polish border more than 20 years after the end of the Cold War made international headlines and brought traffic to a standstill as people posed for selfies beside the troops.
The intention of such a highly visible deployment was to send a signal, Gen Hodges said.
"That's exactly what it was about, reassuring our allies," he said."

The Clinton Rules for meeting candidate Clinton are coming to light.
After recent events in Iowa some reporters were able to talk to the limited number of “everyday Americans” who participated in her presidential rollout.
♦ Rule #1. Pre-Approval of your personage is required.
♦ Rule #2. You must sign releases to allow the campaign control over all content while you are present.
♦ Rule #3. All of your electronic devices and cell phones must be turned over to handlers – and they will be returned only at the conclusion of the event.
♦ Rule #4. You will be transported to undisclosed location(s). You will not be informed of your destination until arrival.
Nothing like a little Clintonian paranoia to help Hillary connect to the unwashed masses.

Via Twitchy:
Eight were reported arrested, only one of whom was a University of Michigan student.Mere minutes into Thursday afternoon’s board of regents meeting at the University of Michigan, a group of protesters affiliated with the group BAMN (“By Any Means Necessary”) stormed past barricades, upended tables and rushed the regents themselves.
BAMN describes itself on its website as a movement “fighting to defend public education, to defeat budget cuts for education, to defend public jobs and public services, to win college financial aid and citizenship for undocumented immigrant students, and to make every school, college, city, municipality and state a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants,” among other goals.
Will Michigan republicans stomp out energy competition? And new businesses?----Open Michigan electric market to (some) competition
Milojevic, Wells: Open Michigan electric market to (some) competition:
...Michigan energy customers have recently been subjected to a barrage of television ads warning of the impending “energy crisis.”
The ads and testimony on the “new” energy plan claims that the current incumbent utility energy companies are the only ones capable of providing reliable energy.
This simply isn’t the case.
All of Michigan’s energy producers are held to the exact same standards as the two leading providers.
Dow Chemical, the largest corporate energy consumer in North America, and one of Michigan’s leading employers, utilizes energy derived from the natural gas-fired facility Midland Cogeneration Venture, an independent power producer with an excellent record for safe, reliable and affordable power production.
With the utility monopoly model, independent power producers are simply not provided with a level playing field to introduce healthy energy-market competition.
This is a direct harm to Michigan consumers and industrial energy users alike.
The opportunity to bring this healthy dimension into the fold is now.

"The Texas Department of Public Safety released images this week showing individuals walk across the southern border at night — in many cases carrying drugs or firearms.
The pictures were captured by a network of motion-detection cameras placed on the Texas-Mexico border as part of a program in collaboration with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection called Operation Drawbridge."

Public/private partnership. That's Fascism, folks!-----Surprised solar customers find themselves with liens
Surprised solar customers find themselves with liens - Watchdog.org:
"Jeff Leeds says installing SolarCity’s panels on the roof of his home in the Northern California city of El Granada was the sorriest day of his life.
Agreeing to the company’s 20-year lease was like partnering with the devil, he claims.
He says he has endured skyrocketing electric bills, installation of an inferior system and contract violations because SolarCity refuses to clean the panels or to provide a payment for his system’s poor performance.
The latest surprise: a notice from his bank telling him that SolarCity had placed a lien on his home, and that his equity line of credit application could not proceed until the lien was removed.
“I was totally surprised by this and very pissed off,” Leeds said.
...SolarCity say it’s not a lien, but a “fixture filing” that stakes the company’s claim to the panels, which it owns if consumers have taken part in its popular lease program.
Owning the solar electricity-generating system allows SolarCity to claim lucrative state and federal subsidies available only to system owners.
SolarCity has received approximately $500 million in tax subsidies and grants over the years."

The Sham Candidacy of Hillary Clinton — and What It Means for the Republic | Unexamined Premises
The Sham Candidacy of Hillary Clinton — and What It Means for the Republic | Unexamined Premises:
The only reason an HRC candidacy is even plausible is the influence of the legacy media, which has simply declared, by fiat, her suitability and her inevitability.
Let us please stipulate that in a rational world, a woman like Hillary Rodham Clinton would have absolutely no chance of being nominated for, much less elected, president of the United States.
She has achieved nothing, accomplished nothing (unless you count the four dead Americans at Benghazi, for which she will ultimately be held responsible);
she is an exremely poor public speaker, full of annoying verbal and physical tics;
she is legendarily dishonest;
she is a hard-core Alinskyite;
and in general a wretched human being.
By rights, she should be laughed off the stage, the same way the smart set laughed at Lurleen Wallace, who succeeded her husband George Wallace, the racist Democrat, as governor of Alabama back in 1967.
She has no natural political constituency, except the manufactured “women’s vote,” and no rationale for her candidacy except that it’s “time” for a woman president, just as it was “time” for a part-black African, part-Arab, half-white, paternally cultural Muslim to pass for a traditional African-American Christian and be elected president in 2008."

"...There is little that can be done to mitigate the 1500-year cycles, if indeed they are controlled by solar activity.
Here, adaptation may provide the only means of dealing with the disastrous effects of the cold periods.

The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) occurred about 18,000 years ago, with the Great Lakes a remnant of this recent glaciation.
...The onset of the next glaciation, another ice age, is widely expected.
It would spell a severe test for humanity but would probably not terminate human existence on the planet.
It would not match the ultimate catastrophe, the impact of a large asteroid, such as occurred 65 million years ago at the beginning of the Tertiary, which wiped out the dinosaurs.

The survival of the human race depends very much on advanced technology.
This is especially the case for climate change.
Good-quality agricultural land will be limited; but hothouse yields could be high.
An efficient distribution system could alleviate the threat of starvation for a reduced population. Nuclear energy, based on uranium/thorium fission and on fusion reactors, may provide the mainstay of civilization.
We may well be living underground, but not necessarily in caves.
I can visualize a possible international collaboration that might involve three teams in North America, Europe, and Asia, working independently and using their own satellite systems...
Stopping the next ice age appears to be well within our technical capability and carries a huge benefit-to-cost ratio.
An investment of millions would prevent the loss of trillions of dollars.

BOOM! The Video That Could Rock Hillary Clinton's Campaign OFF ITS FOUNDATION! - Allen West Republic
“This week, AmericaRising released an ad on Hillary Clinton. I usually don’t like, nor commentate on these kinds of ads.
But this ad, is without a doubt, the most effective anti-campaign ad that I’ve ever seen. And it shows Conservatives the blueprint on how to beat Hillary. Attack the dishonesty. I’ve been saying this for years. Hillary Clinton is more than a slimy politician, she’s a compulsive liar. She lies about big things, but more importantly, she lies about little things when she thinks that nobody’s watching. For no reason! Ignore the “sexism” claims from the left, speak freely, and focus on this. Watch below. It’s a must.”

BREAKING: Muslims Finally Drop Bombshell Exposing the REAL Obama... This Explains Everything
BREAKING: Muslims Finally Drop Bombshell Exposing the REAL Obama... This Explains Everything:
"Two commentators on different Middle Eastern television networks, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, both claim that Obama is working to side with Iran because his father from Kenya was a Shiite Muslim.
“Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a Shiite father,” said London-based Iranian opposition activist Abu Muntasir Al-Baloushi. “There is no doubt that he is Iran’s lifesaver. Some people call him the Iranian lobby in America. He suffers from a peculiar complex.”

Both sides stuffing the ballot box------Everything progressivism touches, it ruins. Now it’s the geeks’ turn
Everything progressivism touches, it ruins. Now it’s the geeks’ turn
The College Fix and sites like it are chock full of anecdotes about how radical progressivism is actually the very antithesis of what it purports to be about: tolerance, understanding and diversity.
The College Fix and sites like it are chock full of anecdotes about how radical progressivism is actually the very antithesis of what it purports to be about: tolerance, understanding and diversity.
Today’s “snowflake” college students need “safe spaces” in which to take refuge from things like “microaggressions,” and while screaming about how delightfully “tolerant” they are, the slightest bit of intellectual, academic, and even comedic discomfort will suddenly send them into a paroxysm of self-righteous indignation and hurt.
This trend has infected even the geekiest of the cultural landscape.
The Weekly Standard notes how social justice warriors — SJWs — have attempted to “cleanse” … science fiction literature:
...The field of comic books hasn’t been immune to this sort of nonsense, either.For more than 50 years, the Hugo Awards have been handed out at the annual World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) to honor the best science fiction and fantasy writing of the previous year. But when the nominees for this year’s Hugos were announced, it touched off a firestorm unlike any in the awards’ history.That’s because so many of this year’s nominees are perceived (not always correctly) to be conservative or libertarian. A group of right-leaning science fiction authors organized a campaign to stuff this year’s Hugo Awards ballot with writers they felt had been overlooked...
Last year, writer Chuck Dixon and artist Paul Rivoche lamented in the Wall Street Journal how “How Liberalism Became Kryptonite for Superman”:
The industry weakened and eventually threw out the CCA, and editors began to resist hiring conservative artists. One of us, Chuck, expressed the opinion that a frank story line about AIDS was not right for comics marketed to children. His editors rejected the idea and asked him to apologize to colleagues for even expressing it.Soon enough, Chuck got less work.
