Kurt Schlichter--MUST READ of the WEEK!!-----Conservatism Now Means Defeating the Establishment

• Conservatism Now Means Defeating the Establishment

"Look around you at the smoldering ruins of American society, and it’s clear that you owe our garbage Establishment nothing.

Not loyalty.

Not respect.

Not obedience.

Nothing.

...There was once a social contract out there that we all thought we all signed on to. 

You know the outlines of the implicit deal. 

We agreed to give up certain prerogatives and to provide prestige and prosperity to those people – who became the Establishment – who would run our institutions for us. 

• ...What is different is that it doesn’t work anymore – those mush-minded teens are not learning the info they need to be citizens, both because what they are being fed is rancid propaganda and because there are no standards anymore. Oh, and it costs more than the average American makes in a year to get young Kaden or Ashleigh that Collectivist Pottery bachelor’s degree.
• ...Who needs Harvard – except insecure people who can’t not let drop that they went to Harvard within 30 seconds of meeting you?
• Other institutions have also been disrupted by technology. Newspapers still call themselves “newspapers,” but technology has eliminated the “papers” part, while their gross political partisanship has eliminated the “news” part. 
• ...What’s this mean? It means that we cannot count on the institutions to do their job – that is, to do those things we need them to do – because their real job is now perpetuating their operators’ grift.
• ...The FBI used to be the the gold standard, the crème de la crème of law enforcement. And, instead of being Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., rounding up mobsters, bank robbers, and commies, it’s a bunch of fugly geeks awkwardly boinking each other when they aren’t trying to frame the president. 
• ...Law enforcement is supposed to protect us by enforcing the law. Now it lets off rioters but will go gangbusters on you should you defend your family from leftist savages...And even if you do manage to demonstrate that your prosecution is so corrupt that even our garbage DOJ wants to dismiss it, an Establishment judge won’t let you and an appeals court won’t make him even though the law says they must.
• ...And then there's the media – well, we knew it was trash, but the last week has even boggled the minds of the most cynical critics...The biggest corruption story of all time – a vice president running an influence peddling ring for foreigners – and the media’s response is to tell us there’s nothing to see...

The Establishment has failed. It failed to meet its most basic obligations. 

What’s this mean?

That means you’re free.

You owe it nothing, not respect, deference, or obedience...Read all!

Joe Biden Falsely Touted Endorsement From Trade Union That Actually Backs Trump | The Daily Caller

Joe Biden Falsely Touted Endorsement From Trade Union That Actually Backs Trump | The Daily Caller: 

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden falsely claimed Thursday that a trade union, which represents craftsmen and industrial workers, had “overwhelmingly” endorsed him.
Former Vice President Biden’s comments came during a discussion on fracking at an ABC News town hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Thursday evening. The union, Boilermakers Local 154, endorsed President Donald Trump citing the president’s energy policies, according to a Sept. 2. letter.

Story a year old as the earth cools-----The IPCC contradicts the Climate Emergency - Clintel

The IPCC contradicts the Climate Emergency - Clintel
"Here is a recent screaming statement of the supposed climate change emergency: “Trump’s greatest dereliction of duty – – his disgraceful denial of climate change” in the Washington Post.
...Here is the wildly false claim: “At a time when the international scientific community has concluded that we have 11 years to avert the worst of climate change…” 

This claim occurs repeatedly in emergency declarations.
This false claim refers to the IPCC SR15 report issued in October 2018. 

What the IPCC really said was we have the 12 years until 2030 to prevent the small difference in impact between 1.5 degrees of total warming and 2.0 degrees. 

With one degree already done this is just the difference between 0.5 degrees of new warming and 1.0 degrees. 
...According to the IPCC this difference in impact is very small. 

It is certainly not “the worst of climate change” as the Post and other alarmists repeatedly claim.
Proponents of the climate emergency scare often cite last year’s IPCC SR15 report as their scientific basis, but it is no such thing. 

• The widely proclaimed 12 year deadline is just for holding warming to 1.5 degrees, which the IPCC says is almost impossible. 
• The IPCC numbers also say that exceeding that warming is in no way catastrophic. 
• The difference between the impact of 1.5 degrees of total warming (just 0.5 degrees of new warming) and 2.0 degrees is tiny. 
• Thus, the IPCC report actually contradicts the unfounded claim of a climate emergency...Read all.

THE QUESTION: How do you plan to decrease the regulatory burden for farmers and business as a whole? 

ANSWER, and I quote: "We should provide for your ability to make a lot more money as farmers by dealing with you be able to put land in land banks and get you paid to do that to provide for more open space and to provide for the ability for you to be able to be in a position we are going to pay you for planting certain crops that in fact absorb carbon from the air"

Joe Biden small crowd at Detroit rally, uses huge teleprompter - TheBlaze: 

Despite Joe Biden reportedly holding a commanding lead over President Donald Trump in the polls, some which show the former vice president leading by double digits, Biden continues to draw anything remotely close to a sizeable crowd. The concerning lack of excitement over Biden's campaign was punctuated last week when the Democratic presidential nominee and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) made a campaign stop in Phoenix, and there was zero fanfare to greet them.

It's Clarice, read it!-----Hunter Becomes the Hunted - American Thinker

Hunter Becomes the Hunted - American Thinker--By Clarice Feldman

The wonderful cartoonist Michael Ramirez has Hunter Biden  disguised as a deer with the caption “From Hunter to Hunted.” Hunter in costume says, “Here, Dad, Camouflage. I got this in China.” In his usual pithy style Ramirez evokes the scandal of Hunter’s using his dad’s position as vice-president to rake in substantial bribes for access for the Chinese. 

China was not alone in lining the Biden family’s pockets with millions of dollars.  So did corrupt officials of Ukraine and more particularly the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. And the Hunter peculation continued with a tribal bond scheme that landed one of his partners in jail, a partner whose emails to and from Hunter are now in the hands of those determined to unmask the Bidens’ misdeeds -- and the FBI’s hiding and failing to act on them.

There is no question that the FBI had access to the same material and seems to have done nothing with it. Nor did the Special Counsel. 

...the U.S. federal government had every reason to know that associates of Hunter Biden, who himself had obtained a lucrative deal with a Ukrainian gas company, were being prosecuted for a massive fraud scheme -- with one participant, Devon Archer, identified in both activities -- at the same time the U.S. federal government was probing the partly contemporaneous dealings of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates in Ukraine with an electric cattle prod.

...The links from the tribal bonds participants, in particular Devon Archer’s, to Hunter Biden would have been of greater potential significance to the 2016 election, given the numerous connections during the election campaign among story elements relevant to the Biden-Ukraine narrative.  Those elements include the Democratic Party, Ukraine, scurrilous gossip about candidate Trump, the U.S. embassy in Ukraine, the State Department’s USAID, and U.S. funds in Ukraine overseen by Vice President Joe Biden, as well as the connection with a major donor to the Democratic Party and prominent partner of USAID in Ukraine, George Soros.

The timeframe of chargeable activities in the tribal bonds case, March 2014 through April 2016, was almost exactly contemporaneous with Hunter Biden’s and Devon Archer’s involvement with Burisma, and eventually Joe Biden’s chat with Petro Poroshenko. 

For the most part, except for the New York Post and Fox, the scandal has been kept under a lid by the press, Twitter, and Facebook...Read all.
