Approved brain washing?-----American Psychological Association: Climate Skeptics Can be Convinced to Believe in Science | Watts Up With That?
"According to an American Psychological Association press release, climate skeptics are more likely to believe climate claims if they are first reminded of fields of science which they trust.
...CHICAGO — Having productive conversations about climate change isn’t only challenging when dealing with skeptics, it can also be difficult for environmentalists, according to two studies presented at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association.The first of the studies found that reinforcing belief and trust in science may be a strategy to help shift the views of climate change skeptics and make them more open to the facts being presented by the other side.“Within the United States, bipartisan progress on climate change has essentially come to a standstill because many conservatives doubt the findings of climate science and many liberals cannot fathom that any rational human can doubt the scientific consensus on the issue,”...Robinson and her colleagues theorized that most people would find at least some branches of science credible. Leveraging those beliefs could lead climate skeptics to shift their views, they said..."
...Suggesting all science and scientific research is equally trustworthy is absurd. Suggesting you can blindly accept the word of climate scientists because scientists in other fields produce good work is more absurd..."

Illinois Is the Canary in the Pension Coal Mine, Says Adam Schuster� – Reason.com
Illinois Is the Canary in the Pension Coal Mine, Says Adam Schuster – Reason.com"...Chicago's pension debt alone is larger than that of 41 states.
That arrangement can't last forever.
"The worst-case scenario is there's another national recession, which would cause our pension funds to lose a bunch of their assets again," says Adam Schuster of the Illinois Policy Institute.
"As the assets shrink, the pension funds go into a financial death spiral.
We might end up with some kind of Puerto Rico–style pseudo-bankruptcy or federal bailout.
Everybody in the nation is now on the hook for Illinois politicians' irresponsible decisions."...

High School Girl Who Demands To Use Boys’ Bathroom Wins Federal Appeals Court Decision | The Daily Caller"A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that a school district in rural, coastal Virginia cannot ban a female student from boys’ bathrooms and locker rooms because the Obama administration’s interpretation of Title IX allows students who call themselves transgender to choose their own bathrooms.
The student at the center of the lawsuit, Gavin Grimm, attends Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Va.The reason school officials prevented Grimm from using facilities reserved for boys on campus is because Grimm was born a girl and by all accounts remains a girl..."

Twitter locks Mitch McConnell campaign account for posting video of protesters at his home:
"This morning, Twitter locked our account for posting the video of real-world, violent threats made against Mitch McConnell. This is a problem with the speech police in America today," McConnell campaign manager Kevin Golden said. "The Lexington Herald-Leader can attack Mitch with cartoon tombstones of his opponents.

University bans beef burgers to help save the planet from climate change - Mirror Online:
"Beef burgers have been banned by a university as part of efforts to tackle the climate change emergency.
Goldsmiths, University of London, said it is to remove all beef products from sale from next month as it attempts to become carbon neutral by 2025.
Students will also face a 10p levy on bottles of water and single-use plastic cups when the academic year starts to discourage use of the products.
The college's new Warden, Professor Frances Corner, said staff and students "care passionately about the future of our environment" and that "declaring a climate emergency cannot be empty words"."

William Barr Has A Message For Jeffrey Epstein’s Co-Conspirators | The Daily Caller
William Barr Has A Message For Jeffrey Epstein’s Co-Conspirators | The Daily Caller:
Attorney General William Barr said Monday that he was “appalled” by Jeffrey Epstein’s apparent suicide over the weekend, but urged that the millionaire pedophile’s co-conspirators “should not rest easy.”
“This sex trafficking case was very important to the Department of Justice and to me personally,” Barr said during a speech before the National Fraternal Order of Police in New Orleans.

Abusing the Impeachment Process | The Heritage Foundation:
No matter how much one opposes Trump, it would have been a serious misuse of the House's impeachment power. The 95 members who voted for it either do not understand or do not care about the purpose and proper use of this procedure.
Green's resolution said that the president should be impeached because he is "unfit to represent" American values of "decency and morality" and "respectability and civility." It also cited Trump's criticism of four Democratic House members.

A brief thought on Jeffery Epstein's death
A brief thought on Jeffery Epstein's death
"Much has been written and will be written on the death of Jeffery Epstein.
Was it suicide?
Was it murder?
The only thing certain is that the man did not die of natural causes.
"Much has been written and will be written on the death of Jeffery Epstein.
Was it suicide?
The only thing certain is that the man did not die of natural causes.
The official finding will most likely be suicide.
Even if this is actually the case, it still will fuel "conspiracy" theories.
Rightfully so.
The man already tried to commit suicide the week before, after which he was supposedly placed on suicide watch.
Here's a very important point.
Epstein was probably the most valuable human asset ever housed in the Manhattan Correctional Center, given the high-level people he could have implicated in his pedophilia escapades and brought down.
You would think every precaution would have been made to keep him alive.
Trust in government and the agencies of government is already at an all time low.
The Department of Justice, the CIA, and the FBI have already discredited themselves by their participation in the coup against President Trump.
So whether Epstein's death was due to sinister acts by people in government or merely gross incompetence, the result will be the same: the public trust will continue to evaporate.
This spells trouble for all of us.
If people's confidence in government falls far enough, then things can be held together only with force.
That won't be America."

What do ya mean, Wind Turbines AREN’T Green? – saveourskylineohio
"This article, could make you, both laugh and cry.
We should cry because of the realities of this industry, as the USA adds tens of thousands of turbines every year; therefore, tens of thousands of blades end up in our landfills.
We should laugh b/c the company “did not respond” to the request for exact lifespan of these specific blades.
This industry is very good at hiding/twisting the truth.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they never responded to the question.
One falsehood is that many believe each machine lasts 20-25 years.
In reality, the gearbox and blades are the ‘Achilles heel’ of each turbine and require frequent maintenance.
Just ask their insurers!
We have blogged about this reality, before!
In Van Wert, Ohio, for instance, we have pictures of dozens of blades lined up in neat and tidy rows.
Why?
Our industrial wind site is nowhere near 20 years old???!!!!…..

Jeffrey Epstein’s Sick Story Played Out for Years in Plain Sight
Jeffrey Epstein’s Sick Story Played Out for Years in Plain Sight"A couple of years ago, I was interviewing a former senior White House official when the name Jeffrey Epstein came up.
...Epstein’s name, I was told, had been raised by the Trump transition team when Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who’d infamously cut Epstein a non-prosecution plea deal back in 2007, was being interviewed for the job of labor secretary.
The plea deal put a hard stop to a separate federal investigation of alleged sex crimes with minors and trafficking.
“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked.
Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case.
He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade.
“I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta..."

It’s no wonder then that, immediately after the opinion was handed down, three people whom Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blocked from her personal account filed lawsuits against the congresswoman in New York federal courts.
Those courts must follow the rulings of the 2nd Circuit, and its opinion applies just as forcefully to Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter account as it does to the president’s.
Like the president, Ocasio-Cortez is a public official, and like Trump, she uses her personal Twitter account for “all manner of official purposes.”
