Follow Directions
By Tammy Derouin
There are always
people in life that you come in contact with but you don’t understand why until
a later time. When I was in Junior High,
I had a teacher that I wouldn’t truly appreciate until later in life.
Like most teachers, he taught more than one subject. I found myself in
several of his challenging classes. He was an extrovert and I was a
struggling introvert. It wasn’t an easy
fit.
Eventually, I was
assigned to his American Literature class.
He could recite poems and discuss the classics with ease. He seemed to have a genuine passion for
literature. My interest in reading was beginning to develop so I chose one of
his suggestions for an upcoming book report. We were then informed it would be
an oral report. My enthusiasm took a nose dive.
He was tough and
there was a little fear upon entering his classroom. He challenged his students. If you tried, did your best but most
importantly, you didn't give up, there seemed to be a softer edge, if ever so
briefly. We were critiqued and given constructive criticism. Our reward,
regardless of the actual grade, was a feeling of accomplishment. We also gained
experience and were better equipped for the next report.
He was known for
his humorous yet dead on comments.
Looking back, the likes of Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain must have inspired
him. I’ve also compared his ability to
serve up an undeniable and much needed point, with a side of humor, to Ronald
Reagan.
As I watched yet
another unbelievable week of scandalous deeds and behavior along with the predictable
explanation of the Leftist administration and its lap dog press, a fitting
saying which was said many times over by my challenging teacher, came to mind. When all else fails, follow directions.
Now the EPA’s science advisors don’t like their own report on fracking
Now the EPA’s science advisors don’t like their own report on fracking « Hot Air
"The draft report on hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) from the EPA is nearing the end of its more than five year journey and the findings were a major blow to the green energy crowd.
Try as they might, there simply was no evidence of systemic contamination to ground water or other resources and the report essentially gives the practice a qualified thumbs up.
That didn’t sit well with the major environmentalist donors to the Democrats, so plans have been in the works to sabotage the report.
That showed up this week when the ad hoc panel of science advisors to the EPA released their own rebuttal, claiming that the wording of the report isn’t up to par. (Washington Post)

Science advisers to the Environmental Protection Agency Thursday challenged an already controversial government report on whether thousands of oil and gas wells that rely on hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” systemically pollute drinking water across the nation.That EPA draft report, many years in the making and still not finalized, had concluded, “We did not find evidence that these mechanisms have led to widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States,” adding that while there had been isolated problems, those were “small compared to the number of hydraulically fractured wells.”…But in a statement sure to prolong the already multiyear scientific debate on fracking and its influence on water, the 30-member advisory panel on Thursday concluded the agency’s report was “comprehensive but lacking in several critical areas.”It recommended that the report be revised to include “quantitative analysis that supports its conclusion” — if, indeed, this central conclusion can be defended.
This board isn’t even arguing that they have evidence to the contrary. (Which would have been a neat trick since such “evidence” doesn’t appear to exist.)
They simply don’t like the positive nature of the wording and would like to see even more test results than have already been submitted.
They’re not saying that they have proof that fracking is dangerous… they’re just saying that the industry hasn’t proven that it isn’t..."

Milwaukee Burns, Louisiana Floods, Obama Golfs
Milwaukee Burns, Louisiana Floods, Obama Golfs | The Daily Caller:
Racially-charged riots in Milwaukee and rampant flooding in Louisiana haven’t kept President Barack Obama from golfing on Martha’s Vineyard Monday afternoon for the second consecutive day.
Racially-charged riots in Milwaukee and rampant flooding in Louisiana haven’t kept President Barack Obama from golfing on Martha’s Vineyard Monday afternoon for the second consecutive day.
The federal government declared a major disaster in Louisiana after rampant flooding left six people dead and more than 10,000 in shelters. More than 20,000 people have been rescued from flooding across south Louisiana, Fox News reports.
In Milwaukee, authorities have struggled to control racially-charged riots stemming from the police shooting of an armed suspect on Saturday. Both the suspect and the officer were black. Several videos recording Saturday night appeared to show black rioters chasing down and attacking white passerby. (RELATED: Milwaukee Rioters Hunt Down, Attack Whites)
At 11:15 a.m. Monday morning, President Obama arrived at Vineyard Golf Club, where he’ll spend the afternoon golfing with businessman Marty Nesbitt, lawyer Cy Walker and former NBA player Alonzo Mourning, according to White House pool reports. The weather was described as a “pitch-perfect afternoon...”

NASA: Antarctic ice sheet is...wait, showing gains?
NASA: Antarctic ice sheet is...wait, showing gains?:
"...A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.
According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.
All this time, the “melting” of glaciers and ice caps has been the driving force behind leftists claims that we have to run in fear of man made global warming. Except there’s more ice.
Now allow me to clarify, because some of you may be saying “Hey Crowder, ‘more’ is a relative term.” That’s true. But in this case, ‘more’ actually equates to hundreds of billions of tons. That, my friends, is what we call, “statistically significant.”
Here’s some more to chew on; the worst case scenario – meaning the absolute worst case that is even humanly feasible, let alone possible – is that if the net gain continued to slow at its current rate… it would still take at least three decades before we got to a point of beginning to see net losses.
Meaning we’d still gain trillions of tons of ice between now and say 2046 before we started to see a net loss of ice. Meaning at that point, continuing at the worst rate we can possibly project, we’d have many decades before ice volume fell to 2015 levels . Let alone levels of 30 years ago, before this whole scare started.
Sorry, was that too much math?..."

Ontario doctors reject tentative four-year deal, creating situation of ‘complete uncertainty’
Ontario doctors reject tentative four-year deal, creating situation of ‘complete uncertainty’ | National Post:
"Ontario doctors have voted resoundingly to reject a tentative fee agreement with the provincial government, creating a situation of “complete uncertainty” and prolonging an internal battle within the medical profession.
Sixty-three per cent of its members who voted Sunday rejected a four-year deal, the Ontario Medical Association said Monday.
The four-year tentative deal included an annual 2.5 per cent increase to the total budget for doctors’ fees, now about $11.5 billion a year. It included a promise not to impose further cuts on doctors, as the Liberal government did last year and in its 2012 round of bargaining. It included $370 million over the four years to encourage doctors to “co-manage” the system with the provincial health ministry in a bid to reduce costs.
Health Minister Eric Hoskins said was disappointed with the vote, while opposition parties charged the government with poisoning talks from the start by imposing cuts.
It’s now hard to envision a quiet return to the negotiating table.
“The OMA has in some ways weakened itself by exposing its divisions,” said Nelson Wiseman, director of the Canadian studies program at the University of Toronto."

From Whitewater to Benghazi: A Primer on Bill and Hillary Clinton Scandals
From Whitewater to Benghazi: A Primer on Bill and Hillary Clinton Scandals - The Atlantic
Newly released emails show the complicated nature of ties between the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton-led State Department—and the high risk of conflicts of interest.
The conservative accountability group Judicial Watch released Tuesday night a tranche of nearly 300 emails it obtained through a lawsuit, and they paint a picture of some of the conflicts of interest created by a situation in which Hillary Clinton ran U.S. foreign policy as her husband’s foundation acted around the globe.
Many of the emails are redacted, and some are almost comically boring—“No new voice messages,” one reads in full—but others are not.
In one of the more piquant interactions, from April 2009, Doug Band, a close confidant of former President Clinton who was then in charge of the foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative, pressed top Clinton aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills for a connection at the State Department for Gilbert Chagoury, a Nigerian-Lebanese billionaire who was a major benefactor of the Clinton Foundation.
“It’s jeff feltman. I’m sure he knows him. I’ll talk to jeff,” Abedin replied, referring to the then-U.S. ambassador to Lebanon.
Band responded, “Better if you call him. Now preferable. This is very important… He’s awake I’m sure.”
It’s unclear from the emails what Chagoury wanted to talk about.
According to Clinton Foundation records, Chagoury has given the charity between $1 and $5 million, and pledged $1 billion to CGI.
He had ties to the former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha, according to The Wall Street Journal, as well as to Christian politicians in highly sectarian Lebanon.
In 2000, he paid a $66 million fine in Nigeria as part of a plea deal in a money-laundering case..."

Olympic Shooter Kim Rhode Fires Back at Gun Control
Olympic Shooter Kim Rhode Fires Back at Gun Control | PJ Media:
"Skeet shooter and five time Olympic medalist Kim Rhode spoke to Time magazine as she prepared for her sixth Olympic competition in Rio.
Of course, they asked Rhode about the politically charged gun issue.
Fortunately for the firearms community, the superstar skeet shooter is an able advocate for the Second Amendment.
“We have that stigma attached to our sport,” said Rhode.
“When you are talking to a NASCAR driver, they’re not asked to comment on an incident that occurred with a vehicle.”
Isn't that the truth.
...The media elite and gun control movement is entirely ignorant about the American cultural traditions centered around firearms.
They view all firearms as death weapons, but many in America associate their firearms with family hunting trips or days spent together at the gun range.
...One very sad consequence of being an Olympic shooter and an articulate supporter of the Second Amendment is the lack of corporate sponsors other champion athletes enjoy.
She is sponsored by Beretta and Winchester but not Nike or Under Armour.
Will we see Rhode on a box of Wheaties?
Most likely not.

The International Olympics Committee (IOC) had raised complaints with the organizing committee of the Games, the organizers confirmed.
Some spectators have left stadiums in the hope of finding supplies elsewhere, according to Mario Andrada, an organizing committee spokesman. However, he added that the situation was being dealt with, and “new food trucks, more efficient water supply, and free water supplies,” were on the way.
