Will the solar minimum cause a new ice age? asks Italian website - Ice Age Now
Will the solar minimum cause a new ice age? asks Italian website - Ice Age Now“The Italian website il meteo today has an article about low solar activity and its consequences,” says Italian geologist Dr Mirco Poletto.
“Despite the fact that writers on that website believe in global warming, they are now considering a cold theory.”
“I think now cooling evidences are so strong they can’t be ignored any longer.”
Excerpts from the il meteo article, written by meteorologist Marco Castelli, 14 June 2018:
Will the solar minimum cause a new ice age?
Our star is at the minimum of activity, and the consequences could be glacial.
Our beloved Sun has reached its deepest solar minimum; we are talking about the sunspot count.
The fewer sunspots, the less heat emanates the Sun, and the more spots, the stronger the energy is.

The fewer sunspots, the less heat emanates the Sun, and the more spots, the stronger the energy is.
- For months now few or no spots have been seen.
- Most climatologists believe that the last event of this kind, which took place between 1645 and 1715, caused the “little ice age” in which the global average temperature of the Earth dropped by 1.3 ° C, thus causing massive waves of frost on many European countries for many years.
- With these premises it is self-evident to think that the Earth’s climate is gradually cooling down, probably leading us to another small ice age …"

Feminist Writer: Boys Need To Become More Feminine | Daily Wire
Feminist Writer: Boys Need To Become More Feminine | Daily Wire:"A feminist writer at The Atlantic has called for an even more proactive feminization of boys in an era where boys would rather sit on their rears all day playing video games than play outside with friends.
In an article titled "Today's Masculinity Is Stifling," feminist author Sarah Rich holds up her cross-dressing son as a paragon of the modern male while accusing the culture of misogyny every time it criticizes boys acting like girls.
...Rich argues that masculinity has an unfavorable advantage in society because whenever a girl displays masculine traits, they are considered a "badass" whereas boys get slapped with "embarrassing" labels.
She goes on to correct this attitude not by emphasizing the beauty of womanhood, but rather by emphasizing the greatness of feminine boys..."

U.S. clears more asylum cases than it receives in May - Washington Times
U.S. clears more asylum cases than it receives in May - Washington Times:
The government is making headway on the asylum backlog for the first time in years, clearing more cases in May than it received, as officials finally think they have hit on ways to tamp down on people abusing the system as a backdoor method of illegal immigration.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services took in 7,757 cases last month, but completed 7,959 cases.
The success came on both sides of the ledger. New cases have been cut nearly in half when compared to the peak years during the Obama administration, while the number of cases closed more than doubled compared to the Obama years.

ON THE WATERFRONT, there’s a longshoreman on the books who washes trucks.
He gets paid $465,981 a year.
To wash trucks.
Fired when his bosses discovered he wasn’t actually showing up when he claimed to be working, he nevertheless regained his job—after an arbitrator concluded it was not unusual in the industry for employees to be paid “without being expected to work all the hours for which they are being paid.”
The Port of New York Harbor is the busiest on the East Coast and the third largest in the nation.
...The top 100 dockworkers alone at the marine terminals on both sides of the river each get more than $300,000 a year, according to salary data obtained through public records requests by NJ Advance Media.
One makes $516,996, based on an hourly rate that pays him 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through a formula of straight time, overtime, double-time, as well as weekend and holiday pay. Another, who works as a timekeeper, is paid every hour that any union member is working.

Should we continue to preserve the fictions around 'anchor babies'?
"My son and his wife went to a Boston hospital last weekend to induce labor.
They were joined in a room by five other couples going through the same process.
My son said one couple was Asian, where the man spoke English and the woman did not.
...man did not seem very interested in the mother or the baby.
Instead, he was very interested in getting the birth certificate and Social Security card.
He said it was absolutely unacceptable that it would take six weeks to get those items.
Does it sound as though these two are contributing to our economic growth, or does it sound as though they are using us?
They didn't have a pediatrician, and they couldn't afford to wait six weeks for documentation.
Does anyone think they had insurance?
We use the term "anchor babies" to describe babies who are born here to parents who are not citizens.
The open-borders lobby objects to the term as dehumanizing.
But make no mistake: I've seen instances where the baby is just a pawn for the parents to get an anchor in the United States so they don't have to go through the normal legal naturalization process..."

First A380 flown in anger to be broken up for parts • The Register
First A380 flown in anger to be broken up for parts • The Register:
"On October 25th, 2007 Singapore Airlines flight SQ380 departed Changi Airport bound for Sydney, Australia, marking the first commercial flight of the Airbus A380.
But the plane that made that flight won’t ever take to the air again and will instead be broken up for parts.

Jim Chilton, Arizona rancher, says Border Patrol agent's shooting could have been averted - Washington Times
Jim Chilton, Arizona rancher, says Border Patrol agent's shooting could have been averted - Washington Times:
Jim Chilton has long warned the government about the few strands of barbed wire that separate Mexico from the U.S. on his Arizona ranch.
He says the lack of a serious barrier, combined with the Border Patrol’s enforcement decisions, have effectively ceded miles of U.S. territory to the Sinaloa cartel, which has put scouts on his hilltops and blazed smuggling trails across his land.
On Tuesday that combination of weak barriers and few agents ended in violence, he said, after a Border Patrol agent was ambushed and wounded on Mr. Children’s property in what authorities labeled a “shooting incident” — and which has raised anew the thorny questions of border security.
The agent, who wasn’t identified, was patrolling alone about 4:30 a.m. when the shooting occurred.
