Pence Fires Back At Democrats’ Holocaust Comparisons | The Daily Caller
Pence Fires Back At Democrats’ Holocaust Comparisons | The Daily Caller:
Vice President Mike Pence criticized Democratic lawmakers Monday for diminishing the atrocities of the Holocaust in order to promulgate their own political narrative.
“We can never allow the memory of those lost in the Holocaust to be forgotten by freedom-loving people around the world. We must teach our children and our children’s children the truth of what happened. We must preserve the memory of those lost for future generations,” Pence told the crowd while speaking at the Christians United For Israel (CUFI) Summit.

News - Global warming: Fake News From the Start | Heartland Institute
"...most of the American and global public have been brainwashed into believing the science is correct (and supported by the faux 97% consensus), so they would not have believed that explanation.
...But CO2 is a gas, the trace atmospheric gas that makes life on Earth possible.
Carbon is a solid, and carbon-based fuels are solid (coal), liquid (oil) or gaseous (natural gas).
By constantly railing about “carbon emissions,” Trudeau, Obama and others encourage people to think of carbon dioxide as something “dirty,” like soot, which really is carbon.
Calling CO2 by its proper name would help the public remember that it is actually an invisible, odorless gas essential to plant photosynthesis.
Canadian Environment Minister Catherine McKenna is arguably the most misinformed of the lot, saying in a recent interview that “polluters should pay.”
She too either does not know that CO2 is not a pollutant, or she is deliberately misleading people.
...The plot to deceive the world about human-caused global warming gathered momentum right after the World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) created the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988.
...U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth (D-CO) was fully committed to the political agenda and the deception. As he explained in a 1993 comment, “We’ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing.…”

Dori: Amazon pullout continues, setting Seattle up for devastation
Dori: Amazon pullout continues, setting Seattle up for devastation
"The Amazon pullout of Seattle continues.
The corporate giant announced on Tuesday that it is going to build a 43-story tower in Bellevue.
It will be Amazon’s tallest building anywhere in the world, and it will be the tallest building in Bellevue, which has more than a few skyscrapers.
...All of this is because we have a city council and a mayor who have gone fanatic about socialism.
They keep pushing anti-business policies.
What this means for the downtown Seattle real estate market is that when the economy inevitably starts to turn, it will be cataclysmic.
...More than 50 percent of the money Kshama Sawant has raised for re-election has come from outside of Seattle.
What does that tell you?
The socialist-Marxists around the country are so hell-bent on keeping a foothold in a major American city that they will donate to a Seattle City Council race.
That’s where her support is — it’s not coming from within the city.
Keep letting the Amazon pullout happen and watch how hard the crash will be."

REVEALED: Google’s ‘Respectful Code’ Policy To Edit Politically Incorrect Terms From Software, Including ‘Trumpssh’ | The Daily Caller
REVEALED: Google’s ‘Respectful Code’ Policy To Edit Politically Incorrect Terms From Software, Including ‘Trumpssh’ | The Daily Caller:
Google has undertaken a substantial program to ensure its code adheres to standards of political correctness. The “respectful code” policy, a copy of which was obtained by the Daily Caller, applies both to new code, and also includes an initiative to go back and edit old code that may include phrasing or words deemed problematic by Google’s diversity and inclusion team.
This is a matter of utmost importance, according to one of the documents obtained by The Daily Caller, because, “The cost of not doing this is the harm done to other Googlers every time they encounter these terms.”

Russia submarine that caught fire may have been to cut internet cables - Business Insider
Russia submarine that caught fire may have been to cut internet cables - Business Insider"A Russian navy submarine caught fire on Monday, killing 14 sailors on board.
Two independent Russian news outlets reported that the vessel was the AS-12 "Losharik," a nuclear-powered vessel that US officials have said is designed to cut undersea cables that keep the world's internet running.
...US and other Western officials have long warned that Russian ships have been active near major undersea fiber-optic cables that carry calls, emails, texts, and trillions of dollars' worth of daily financial transactions.
..."If they are doing research on the sea floor with a military submarine, they are probably also able to interdict or disrupt undersea cabling or other undersea infrastructure, like pipelines."
,,,"These submarines might also be used to install, remove, or disrupt seabed sonar arrays" to either bolster Russia's own defenses or dismantle the defenses of another country..."

Seattle's 'Hate Crime Epidemic That Never Was' | Trending
Seattle's 'Hate Crime Epidemic That Never Was' | Trending"Wilfred Reilly, author of the book Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War, has investigated the extraordinary and frightening claims by the Seattle Times that hate crimes and "incidents" in that city were up an astonishing 400% since 2012.
In the immortal words of Defense Secretary Albert Nimziiki from Independence Day, "That's not entirely accurate."
An examination of the Seattle data indicates that fewer than 40 actual criminal cases resulting from real, serious hate incidents were successfully prosecuted between 2012 and 2017. This provides an excellent case study of how media coverage of flash-point issues such as hate crime can—whether intentionally or not—sensationalize and exaggerate the urgency of social problems.
"Sensationalize and exaggerate"?
Sounds familiar.
A look through the data that has been made available from Seattle’s office of the City Auditor reveals that there is little basis for panic. First, most of the situations contained in the 500-plus documented incidents for 2018 turned out not to be hate crimes at all. Out of 521 confrontations or other incidents reported to the police at some point during the year, 181 (35 percent) were deemed insufficiently serious to qualify as crimes of any kind. Another 215 (41 percent) turned out to involve some minor element of bias (i.e., an ethnic slur used during a fight), but did not rise to the definition of hate crime. Only 125, or 24 percent, qualified as potential hate crimes—i.e., alleged “criminal incidents directly motivated by bias.” For purposes of comparison: There are 745,000 people living in Seattle, and 3.5-million in the metro area.
"Hate crime" is a politically charged term.
But the Seattle Times uses it in a scare headline to describe interactions between people that, while mean and nasty, are in no way, shape, or form to be considered a "crime" much less a "hate crime."
But the Seattle Times uses it in a scare headline to describe interactions between people that, while mean and nasty, are in no way, shape, or form to be considered a "crime" much less a "hate crime."
The deeper you look at these stats, the more ridiculous it gets.
Indeed, if there is a single archetypal Seattle hate incident that emerges from this data, it would seem to involve a mentally ill homeless man yelling slurs at someone. According to the City Auditor, 22 percent of hate perps were “living unsheltered” at the time of their crime, 20 percent were mentally ill, and 20 percent were severely intoxicated.
Accusing a homeless, crazy person of a "hate crime" is ludicrous.
But when you're a liberal newspaper trying to gin up fear and outrage, it's considered "good reporting."
The exaggeration of "hate crimes" isn't confined to Seattle..."

New Book On Kavanaugh’s Confirmation Has Incendiary Allegations About Christine Blasey Ford | The Daily Caller
New Book On Kavanaugh’s Confirmation Has Incendiary Allegations About Christine Blasey Ford | The Daily Caller:
A forthcoming book on Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court relays incendiary allegations about Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, excerpts obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show.
In “Justice on Trial” authors Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino say unnamed peers accused Ford of drinking to excess and accosting boys with some regularity as a student at the Holton-Arms School, a contrast with press accounts that cast her as innocent and naive during that period. Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her during a 1982 house party in suburban Maryland when they were high school students.

Inconvenient Energy Realities: The Math Behind the "New Energy Economy" | Economics21
Regardless of one’s opinion about whether, or why, an energy “transformation” is called for, the physics and economics of energy combined with scale realities make it clear that there is no possibility of anything resembling a radically “new energy economy” in the foreseeable future.
Bill Gates has said that when it comes to understanding energy realities “we need to bring math to the problem.”
He’s right.
So, in my recent Manhattan Institute report, “The New Energy Economy: An Exercise in Magical Thinking,” I did just that.
Herein, then, is a summary of some of bottom-line realities from the underlying math.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Philadelphia police have released surveillance video showing dozens of teens vandalizing and stealing from a South Street Walgreens on the 4th of July. The incident happened at the store on the 1800 block of South Street in the Graduate Hospital section of the city.
Surveillance cameras inside the store show about 60 boys and girls storming into the Walgreens at around 10 p.m. The group can be seen running around, knocking items off of the shelves and fleeing the store without paying for merchandise.

The same group is accused of terrorizing and vandalizing other businesses on July 4. Eyewitnesses believe the crowd originated from Penn’s Landing and traveled up South Street, growing in size..."

France announces 'eco-tax' of up to €18 on tickets for all flights leaving country | The Independent
France will introduce an “eco-tax” of up to €18 (£16.19) on tickets for all flights leaving the country, the government has announced.
Transport minister Elisabeth Borne told a news conference that the €180m (£162m) it is expected to raise annually from 2020, would finance daily transport in the country.
The move comes amid an escalating planetary climate emergency which is disproportionally being caused by the tiny percentage of people who use planes for transport.
...a new study suggests the overall effects of flying could be far more damaging to the climate than first thought..."
