Don't Buy The Carbon Dioxide Tax Myth - It Just Means More Government Control
Don't Buy The Carbon Dioxide Tax Myth - It Just Means More Government Control:
"The carbon dioxide tax is like the Hydra of myth.
Every time some hero cut one of the Hydra’s heads off, two more sprang up in its place.
The same is true for the carbon dioxide tax.
Every time a version of the carbon dioxide tax is proposed, economists and other analysts deftly cut its head off, showing its promises of climate salvation and economic prosperity to be false, myths like the Hydra itself, yet two more versions of the tax arise.
Progressives and socialists embrace the carbon dioxide tax myth to promote more government control, their control, over the economy and peoples’ lives.
...These and other costs will eat up billions of dollars each year.
...Anyone who tells you paying a new tax will be good for you, especially a tax on fossil fuels that serve to power the economic prosperity we currently enjoy, is lying..."

The Corrupt DoJ vs. the People
The Corrupt DoJ vs. the People:
Let’s do a little pretending. You are living in East Germany in 1960. The Stasi, the repressive secret police, have arrested you. As you are languishing in prison, the state prosecutor asks you to cough up information that will be damaging to a certain individual that the state wishes to condemn. The prosecutor’s demand is backed up with a threat. If you don’t compose the incriminating information he seeks, you will spend the next 40 years behind bars and the state will go after your spouse, your children, and your best friend Fido. Everyone you love will be destroyed.
Ah, but you say, “This is America in 2019. That could never happen here. Aren’t we lucky to be living in the land of the free and home of the brave?” Well, guess what? This used to be the land of the free.

Failure to Teach Cursive is Becoming a ‘Security Issue’ | Intellectual Takeout
"While volunteering in a program for inner city children this past weekend, I was charged to work with a little girl who seemed to be around 9 or 10 years-old.
We quietly worked side by side for a few minutes, each making a copy of the day’s writing assignment, until the little girl looked at my cursive writing, sighed in ecstasy and wonderingly asked, “How do you DO that?!”
Her interest in learning it was great, however, as evidenced by subsequent attempts to write her own name in a pseudo-cursive style.
Unfortunately, the cursive-less experience of my little charge is not an anomaly, as evidenced by a recent hearing in the New York legislature.
The New York Post reports:

Then last week she read about the NY Abortion Bill and mentioned it to me. I made sure she knew about the fundamental four or five HUGE changes in that bill, and then I explained to her what nobody has connected. Says me...well if anybody permitted by the State can perform a no questions asked abortion up to 24 weeks, and that same "nail salon tech with a state abortion certificate" can perform an abortion on a nine month baby if in THAT person's opinion the mother will be better off...and then since the abortionist no longer has a duty to provide medical attention to a live baby who survives the abortion and it can be left to die...and if we learned one thing from the news about Planned PArenthood about how much money can be made by selling tissues and cells from aborted fetuses...can you imaging the industry that NY can now have selling working fully functioning organs from full term babies which can be carved up and sold for parts.
She burst into tears. Literally.

Rush Limbaugh's 'privilege': Declaration, Constitution - WND:
Her comment Friday got the attention of talk-radio show host Rush Limbaugh, who took only seconds to put her in her place.
“Well, I’ll tell you what my privilege is, Cortez. My privilege is being an American. My privilege is being born in the United States of America. My privilege flows from the two the greatest political documents ever written: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. My privilege was to be born in a country that acknowledges the origins of my freedom and liberty and my right to pursue happiness. And that’s God,” he said.

Model Admits She Made Up Russian Collusion Story About Trump To Get Out Of Jail | The Daily Caller
Model Admits She Made Up Russian Collusion Story About Trump To Get Out Of Jail | The Daily Caller:
A Belarusian model who originally said she had secret recordings that tied President Donald Trump to Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska and showed collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign now says she lied.
Anastasia Vashukevich, who goes by the alias Nastya Rybka on the internet, told CNN in a report published Tuesday that she made up the whole story as a means of getting out of a Thai prison last year.
Vashukevich was doing hard time in Thailand for offering her sex coach talents to the locals. Arrested and convicted for solicitation, she was sent to prison. Allegedly fearing for life behind bars, she decided to attract some international media attention with her story of having information that would link Trump to the Russian oligarchy.

Climate change denial strongly linked to right-wing nationalism | EurekAlert! Science News
"With Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, as a hub, the world's first global research network into climate change denial has now been established.
Building on a brand-new research publication showing the links between conservatism, xenophobia and climate change denial, the network will study how the growth of right-wing nationalism in Europe has contributed to an increase in climate change denial.
Scientific awareness of the greenhouse effect, and human influence on the climate, has existed for over three decades.
During the 1980s, there was a strong environmental movement and a political consensus on the issue, but in recent years, climate change denial - denying that changes to the climate are due to human influence on the environment - has increased.
"Two strong groups have joined forces on this issue - the extractive industry, and right-wing nationalists. The combination has taken the current debate to a much more dramatic level than previously, at the same time as our window of opportunity is disappearing."...

Who are the SCIENCE Deniers? | Global Liberty Media - The Counter Narrative
- On Climate:
The solution, they claim, is to authorize a central world authority with the power to regulate humanity’s “carbon footprint.”
Both premises on which they base this outlandish proposal are observably false.
Both premises DENY key scientific EVIDENCE of a naturally-occurring pattern of global climate fluctuation observable in the fossil record...
- On Human Reproduction:
This plainly false statement DENIES the observable reality which modern technology has recently made so visible to the general public...
- On Human Sexuality:
Every victory for those who deny observable reality results in more power in government hands; power to use in ever-more corrupt ways.
Why is that so?
When the physical reality to which we’d otherwise refer in common is denied, the version of “reality” that then prevails is determined by those in power.
We are no longer equals in observation of even the most fundamental reality.
Might makes right."

They have done this because their intelligence has confirmed that Iran is close to having nuclear weapons, along with the capacity to deliver them.
...The Saudis, who were reluctant to take this step, placed a great deal of faith in President Trump to keep the Iranians in check and to change the political dynamics in the Middle East, but they are no longer certain he can survive the relentless attacks from the pro-Iranian Democrats.

It's vitally important that we the people use the tools we have to fulfill the role our press abandoned to the insanity of Trump Derrangemt Syndrome."
It's vitally important that we the people use the tools we have to fulfill the role our press abandoned to the insanity of Trump Derrangemt Syndrome."
COMMON SENSE: Last week, while Americans were obsessing about the government shutdown and the shenanigans of an opportunistic Native American to make a political statement, a major shift in Middle Eastern politics occurred.
It almost went unnoticed by the media, despite the fact that it will change everything.
Saudi Arabia has begun to develop its own nuclear capability. They have done this because their intelligence has confirmed that Iran is close to having nuclear weapons, along with the capacity to deliver them.
...The Saudis, who were reluctant to take this step, placed a great deal of faith in President Trump to keep the Iranians in check and to change the political dynamics in the Middle East, but they are no longer certain he can survive the relentless attacks from the pro-Iranian Democrats.
Out of self-preservation, the Saudis have taken this bold step to level the playing field with their mortal enemy, Iran.
...Nevertheless, there is now a nuclear arms race in the Middle East that cannot be stopped by any other means than force, but the fools in the media are too consumed with "getting Trump" to inform Americans about this.
Not many are even paying attention.
God help us!
