Global Freezing? Climate Science Has Become High Farce - Climate Change Dispatch
"As delegates from the climate conference in Glasgow streamed home in mid-November, with the official start of the Australian summer just days away, Melburnians were freezing, there were floods in NSW and it was snowing in Tasmania.
This is not the climate hell of searing heat and empty dams scientists and activists have been forecasting for the past 30 years and more – the hell which the annual climate summit held in Glasgow was supposed to help the world avoid.
Instead, the wintery weather underlined a basic point that climate activists, including some scientists, are extremely unwilling to acknowledge.
For as well as being extremely variable, weather is subject to climatic cycles that are simply not covered by the allegedly ‘settled, certain’ global warming theory.
After thirty years of doomsaying about climate, these variations can still turn near-summer into winter within days and dictate seasonal rainfall.
...Climate politics has developed into a farce largely unconnected with anything that might actually be happening in climate...Read all.

CNN analyst says he has 'no idea' why smash-and-grab robberies are on the rise even while noting punishment is 'very minimal' - TheBlaze:
Critics have argued that these crimes will continue to damage local communities until district attorneys in those jurisdictions punish the behavior with more than a misdemeanor charge. In many cases, the offenders who commit the crimes are also allowed to walk free under zero or low cash bail policies.

Imagine how many thousands of others are missing at this year's Thanksgiving dinner thanks to the satanic effort to block this lifesaving drug – both outpatient and for those close to death?

"...Each wind turbine needs 80 gallons of oil as lubricant and we're not talking about vegetable oil... 12,000 gallons of it. That oil needs to be replaced once a year..."

- "Right now the average wind farm is about 150 turbines.
"Each wind turbine needs 80 gallons of oil as lubricant and we're not talking about vegetable oil, this is a PAO synthetic oil based on crude... 12,000 gallons of it. That oil needs to be replaced once a year.
It is estimated that a little over 3,800 turbines would be needed to power a city the size of New York... That's 304,000 gallons of refined oil for just one city. Now you have to calculate every city across the nation, large and small, to find the grand total of yearly oil consumption from "clean" energy.
- Where do you think all that oil is going to come from, the oil fairies?

In one segment of Carlson's wide-ranging interview with the 18-year-old, the host asked Rittenhouse what he thought of the prosecuting attorneys.
Rittenhouse tore into his courtroom adversaries, telling Carlson that "prosecutorial misconduct" reached "ridiculous" levels with each passing day — a sentiment that Bruce Schroeder, the judge presiding over the case, seemed to share at certain points.

The way we were-----Expedition to the Edmund Fitzgerald 1994 (4K HD)
"This DeepQuest series of seven dives was lead by businessman Frederick Shannon between July 25 and July 27, 1994 and got very close video footage of the Edmund Fitzgerald wrecksite.
The video footage is some of the clearest obtained, and the expedition gained notoriety when it was disclosed that a body was discovered among the wreckage (wearing a life vest). On the final (seventh) dive, a memorial plaque was left near the pilot house."
Ep. 2 | Climate Alarmism
"True North--When it comes to the environment and climate change, it feels like we’re constantly being lectured by journalists, politicians and activists. We’re told that our way of life is unsustainable, that we only have a few years to act, and that we’re facing an existential crisis, not just as a country, but as a species and a planet.
But what about those of us who care about the environment but don’t quite subscribe to the hysteria, alarmism and environmentalist ideology?
In episode 2 of Green Hypocrisy, Candice Malcolm takes a closer look at the environmental movement, the activists themselves, who is funding them and how the movement has evolved from the early days of environmentalism.
ANALYSIS: TRUE.
Instapundit--ANALYSIS: TRUE. 
Jacob Sullum: The last thing considered by Dems in the Rittenhouse case was the actual law.
"...Rittenhouse’s political views and the merits of the gun laws that allowed him to carry that rifle likewise were irrelevant. So was the fact that Rittenhouse — who lived in Antioch, Ill., 16 miles from Kenosha — “crossed state lines,” a detail that critics of the verdict bizarrely emphasized.
What mattered, as far as the law was concerned, was whether Rittenhouse reasonably believed the use of deadly force was necessary each time he fired his gun. On that crucial issue, the jury heard credible testimony that supported Rittenhouse’s self-defense claims.
The commentariat has skulls full of mush, and even the ones with law degrees seldom have any interest in thinking like a lawyer.---Posted by
