Ted Cruz Denounces Loretta Lynch - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"CRUZ:  Loretta Lynch told a gathering the day after the San Bernardino attack that her department would move to prosecute anyone whose, quote, "anti-Muslim rhetoric," quote, "edged towards violence."  The day after a terror attack, 14 innocent lives snuffed away.  As has been the case all too often in the Obama administration, we may be facing once again the weaponization of one of our own government agencies, deployed not to protect Americans, but to force them to submit to the Obama administration's code of what is and is not acceptable speech.

RUSH:  Heck, I'd go even farther than that."

Interesting insight-----Frank Sinatra's Drummer Tells the Story of His Final Concert

Frank Sinatra's Drummer Tells the Story of His Final Concert | Vanity Fair:
"...The musical relationship between Frank and his musicians, especially his drummer, was intense and personal.
Frank loved the powerful rhythmic propulsion at his back, often driven by a cracking “back beat” on the snare that he wanted targeted dead in the middle of his unparalleled rhythmic sense.
It was 80 percent reaction and 20 percent action.
If I let up, even for an instant, he would turn my way looking for more heat.
I never took my eyes off of him.
Yet despite our intense stage relationship, a year into my role I had never so much as lifted a glass with him, much less held a conversation. 
I thought it odd—I was a fan too, after all.
But it was Bill Miller, Frank’s longtime pianist, who told me early on that “Frank needs a drummer, not another friend.” I got it.
That all changed one late night in 1992, at the Monaco Red Cross Gala, in Monte Carlo..."

"Trump IS providing leadership!"-----Don't Blame Trump For Muslim Ban Comments , He Speaks For The Masses...Who Can Blame Americans For Not Wanting To End Up Like UK?

BRITISH TV PERSONALITY: Don't Blame Trump For Muslim Ban Comments , He Speaks For The Masses...Who Can Blame Americans For Not Wanting To End Up Like UK? [VIDEO]
"...After a Muslim couple gunned down 14 residents of San Bernardino, California, Americans looked for strong leadership. 
Just like after 9/11 when Bush made like a dog of war and took the fight to the terrorists.
It took the President a couple of days to even admit the attack was terror and when he did finally address a nervous nation on Sunday night his tone-deaf message was that Muslims were their ‘friends, neighbours and sports heroes.’
In contrast, Trump IS providing leadership. 
He knows some of his grand-standing is hot air.
But he is articulating a sentiment held by millions and reinforcing himself as a protector of the American people.
It’s the reason Trump is the Republican front runner.
He has spent just $330,000 on broadcasting to Jeb Bush’s $42.5 million —which is indicative of how much America is enthralled by this new voice.
...Trump said: ‘We have places in London so radicalised that police are afraid for their lives.’
Within moments the Met Police, Prime Minister David Cameron, and the clownish Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, jumped to defend the reputation of the UK and distance themselves from this glaring truth.
Yet, at the time of writing, no less than five bobbies on the beat have come forward to confirm that there ARE estates where they will only patrol out of uniform.
There is fear among the police AND the public.
I work with a team of cameramen in town who text their wives and partners on the hour to confirm they are safe.
My family is not keen for me to be in the capital.
Some friends will no longer come to London.
How do you feel about the security of the city’s shopping centres right now, after what happened in Paris?
I watch the BBC news, our national broadcaster, ramming home messages of inclusiveness.
Today they gave platform to a representative of the Muslim community telling Trump he is an Islamophobe and is not welcome here.
But that’s not my voice. 
That is not the voice of a nation. 
All Brits don’t think that way.
Being force-fed multi-culturalism brought us to this place. 
When the only permitted message is acceptance, any views to the contrary result in a label to shame you into silence.
...History teaches us lessons were refuse to learn.
The IRA would not have enjoyed decades of success without many among the Northern Irish Catholic population acting just the same way as the imams and family and friends of extremists in Luton today.
We have gone too far and lost control of vast swathes of our country.
In part we ARE a radicalised nation and it does nobody any favours to deny the obvious.
Trump wants to call a temporary halt to Muslim immigration until America figures out what is going on.
Adversaries may be quick to jump on Trump and make him the problem.
But look around.
You are too busy gazing at the fluff in your navel to see the gangrene in your foot.
You lost sight of terrifying.
It isn’t a big, brash American untroubled by the need to be loved. 
It is the march of ISIS and the so-called Islamic State.
You may want to distance yourself from Trump.
You may want to carry on navel gazing.
But for many Americans, Europe is rapidly becoming an example of everything they never want to be.

And the kids get the tax bill-----Teacher Union Executives Get Double-Digit Raises While Liabilities Skyrocket

Teacher Union Executives Get Double-Digit Raises While Liabilities Skyrocket [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"While the teachers they represent have seen very small pay increases or even pay freezes over the past three years, high level executives at the Michigan Education Association union received large raises.
The average increase in the salaries paid to the top four union officials was 18.6 percent over three years. 
At the same time, the MEA's liabilities increased by nearly $100 million, or 50 percent in one year.
Vice President Nancy Strachan received a 25 percent salary increase between 2012 and 2015 ($119,520 to $149,433). Secretary-Treasurer Rick Trainor was also up 25 percent during the period ($121,476 to $151,675). President Steve Cook’s salary increased 16 percent ($182,154 to $211,390) and Executive Director Gretchen Dziadosz had a 13 percent increase from 2012 to 2015 ($190,196 to $215,222).
...Teachers are not getting anywhere near those kinds of raises.
For example, a teacher in Plymouth-Canton Community Schools saw her salary increase by 5 percent over a three-year period..."

Donald Trump's 'Muslims' Comment Defies Political Correctness

Donald Trump's 
"The more analysts try to figure out Donald Trump’s appeal, the more they sound baffled.
Pundits cite Trump’s verbal sloppiness and ridiculousness as proof that he must soon implode.
But Trump sees his daily bombast as an injection of outrage for a constituency now hooked on someone who finally voices their pent-up anger.
The more reckless Trump’s doses of scattergun outrageousness, the better the fix for his supporters.
Trump’s vague “make America great again” was the natural bookend to Barack Obama’s even more vacuous “hope and change.”
The popularity of such empty slogans reflects a culture in which no one any longer trusts institutions, the media, government, or politicians. 
The public no longer respects U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the IRS, the VA, or the GSA.
Even the once-hallowed Secret Service has become a near laughingstock of incompetency, corruption, and politicization.
Is the purpose of NASA really Muslim outreach, as NASA chief Charles Bolden suggested in 2010? The world that we are told about by our government bears no resemblance to what we see and hear every day.
President Obama has exacerbated this current disconnect between the public and its officials.
In unserious fashion, he shares his selfies, parades his annual Final Four picks, and jets off to Los Angeles to appear on late-night talk shows, even as he hectors Americans in sermons about their Islamophobia, their carbon footprints, their immigration xenophobia, and their gun obsessions..."

Worth a full read. This is how your tax funded liberal NPR distorts their own shows!-----See How NPR Hacks Up Testy Interview with Ted Cruz

See How NPR Hacks Up Testy Interview with Ted Cruz:
NPR Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep is a big fan of President Obama, and when he interviews him, he helpfully sets him up. In a recent interview on race relations, Inskeep added little prompts instead of questions. That’s not what Ted Cruz received on Wednesday’s show. Inskeep was blunt when discussing the new Trump idea of banning Muslims from entering America:

STEVE INSKEEP: All this led to a bottom-line question when Senator Cruz visited our studios. [To Cruz] Which Muslims do you want to keep out of the United States?

TED CRUZ: Well, I'm not sure that's the way I would put the question. What I would say is what is the obligation of the president and commander in chief? And the first obligation is to keep this country safe.

NPR posted the full transcript online. What that demonstrated was that NPR and Inskeep routinely sliced out (for time and surely, for political convenience) Cruz whacking away at Democrats. Here’s the rest of Cruz’s answer to that, sliced at mid-sentence:

And the first obligation is to keep this country safe,  and so I've introduced legislation that would suspend for three years refugees from countries where ISIS or al-Qaida control a substantial amount of territory. And the reason is simple. The FBI has told Congress that the Obama administration cannot vet these refugees.

Then Inskeep brought in the rest of the answer:

INSKEEP: The Texas senator wore a white shirt and orange tie. He was on his way to work in Washington. Cruz introduced legislation after the recent attacks in Paris. His bill would make it even harder than it is for refugees to reach the U.S. from five war-torn countries. Cruz says the few exceptions would include non-Muslims who are persecuted.

CRUZ: President Obama and Hillary Clinton's plan to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees to America when the FBI says they cannot ascertain if these refugees are ISIS terrorists or not - that makes no sense.

For us, this brings to mind the way Cruz had his interview sliced and diced by CBS's Face the Nation in January of 2014. Just to illustrate how much NPR cut out of Cruz’s remarks, the remarks that were cut out of the broadcast are in bold. Notice the taxpayer-funded network slices in and out of Cruz's sentences to construct it just the way they like it:

INSKEEP: I've had a look at your legislation. It specifies some countries — Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, other countries could be added by the government over time. But I have to note, you're looking at refugees, not broadly people entering the United States, including by easier paths. You're not bringing up Pakistan, which is where one of the San Bernardino attackers came from. You're not bringing up Brussels, which is where some of the Paris attackers came from. Why not?

CRUZ: There is no doubt that we need broader reforms. And, in fact, talking about Brussels and Europe, one of the real challenges is the visa waiver program. And unfortunately if you look at Europe, the problem of terrorism is definitely growing there because of many of these waves of refugees that've flowed into Europe.

But the immediate threat we have is ISIS. The Islamic state has declared jihad on America. They have declared their intention to commit acts of terror like they did in Paris, like occurred in San Bernardino, and they've made clear that they intend to use the refugee program to do that.

And so there is a very simple question that, as far as I'm concerned, the president ought to be asked every time he is asked a question, which is: Why would you bring people in when the FBI tells you they cannot vet them to determine whether or not they're terrorists?

INSKEEP: But can't someone ask you, why would you focus on refugees who tend to be fleeing a situation, and leave alone, at least for the moment, all these other routes, and all other kinds of people who — who actually have proven in a few cases to be dangerous?

CRUZ: Because if you look at, for example, the Paris terrorists, we know that at least one of them came in among the refugees. This is — this is an influx of population where the FBI says they lack the information to ascertain if they're terrorists. What James Comey — and, by the way, James Comey, the head of the FBI, was appointed by Barack Obama. What he told Congress is the FBI lacks the information on who in Syria is involved with Syria, who's involved with the jihadists.

And so as he put it, he said, "We can query the database till the cows come home; we'll get no results because we don't have the underlying information to check them." If you look, for example — you're right. Look, do we need to impose stronger background checks and security checks on immigration more generally in an age of terror? Absolutely. If you look at the wife among the San Bernardino terrorists, she came on a fiancee visa.

The background check vetting for fiancee visas is essentially identical to what President Obama and Hillary Clinton say they want to put on these Syrian refugees. Now, the problem is, look — she put a made-up address, a fictional home address, and yet the background check of the vetting didn't, didn't catch that. And given — given the widespread lethality of radical Islamic terrorism, we need to be serious responding to it.

And the problem, Steve — this president doesn't even acknowledge the problem exists, much less put in place serious policies to deal with it.

NPR didn't keep the part where Cruz talked about the persecution and killing of Christans and Yazidis. It was all sliced out:

INSKEEP: You — you've made an exception for people from those countries who may be victims of genocide, which has been interpreted as people who may be Christian or non-Muslim. Are you actually imposing a religious test here?

CRUZ: Well, it is true the legislation I've introduced has an exception for those who are victims of genocide, those who are religious minorities. Christians could fall into that category; Yazidis could fall into that category.

Now, I would note, the notion of a religious test, our immigration law for decades has included provisions focusing on religious persecution. We have always had a religious test. And what is happening to the Christians by ISIS is qualitatively different. They are facing genocide in that ISIS is attempting to exterminate the Middle Eastern Christians in a way that is qualitatively different from other people.

There are many refugees there that are fleeing war conditions, that are fleeing poverty, that are fleeing chaos. But genocide is something we have always recognized as qualitatively different, when a particular religious minority is being persecuted and being murdered the way Christians are being crucified, beheaded, raped and murdered by ISIS.

NPR's not big on talking about Christians being crucified, beheaded, and raped. Instead, they skipped ahead to speaking up for the Muslims (and speaking up for Obama when charged with being soft on Islamic terror). This is where NPR really gets out the hacksaw and slices Cruz's speech into little pieces:

INSKEEP: Is there a bigger cultural concern that you're actually speaking to on some level here, Senator — the concern among some in America that there are just too many Muslims coming and that they are culturally inappropriate for the United States?

CRUZ: Look, I can't speak for what concerns you might have or others have. My concern is keeping America safe. And we need a commander in chief whose single-minded focus is protecting this nation.

You know, President Obama, when he addressed the nation, he gave a speech that was so utterly disconnected from the threats facing this country. He gave a speech in which he never once uttered the words "radical Islamic terrorism." Now, why is that? Because he never utters the word. It is a policy throughout the administration that you cannot acknowledge the evil we face. And in fact —

INSKEEP: He did talk about terrorism, if I might, and talked about extreme beliefs among, among Muslims —

CRUZ: But — but this is important. Yes, he talks about terrorism writ large, but he doesn't acknowledge radical Islamic terrorism. It is a particular threat. And he treats it — indeed, I was at the prayer breakfast where the, the National Prayer Breakfast when it was right after, you'll recall, the Jordanian pilot had been lit on fire. The king of Jordan was supposed to be at the prayer breakfast. He flew back to Jordan to deal with the aftermath of that act of terror.

And President Obama got up and gave a remarkable speech where he served as an apologist for radical Islamic terrorists. Now, what does it mean to be an apologist? Because those are strong words. An apologist is someone that gives a rationalization, gives a justification, that steps forward and tries to explain in a reasonable way the conduct of others.

What President Obama says is, "Yes, ISIS are committing terrorist acts." But at the prayer breakfast, he said, "You know what? Christians and Jews have done bad things, too; look at the Crusades; look at the Inquisition."

INSKEEP: Isn't he just trying to make sure that he's not singling out Muslims who may be loyal Americans?

CRUZ: Baloney. Last I checked, the Crusades and Inquisitions ended hundreds of years ago. I don't think it's too much to be asking for the president to stay in the current millennium. And here's the problem. That argument is exactly the argument ISIS uses. They justify their acts of terror based on the Crusades and Inquisition. If the Crusades and Inquisition were happening now, I would readily speak out against them. They were wrong.

This is perhaps the most ridiculous edit, making sure Cruz can't mock Obama for using incredibly outdated mockery of Christianity. All of this explanation of radical Islam was thrown out:

But thankfully they are not, and we need a president who can distinguish — you know, I have a book that I wrote this summer that you and I have talked about before. It's called A Time for Truth.

INSKEEP: Right. Yeah.

CRUZ: In that book, I quote Egypt's president, President al-Sisi, who, in a remarkable speech that he gave on January 1st of this year at Cairo University — in that speech, President al-Sisi calls out radical Islamic terrorism, calls out the grave threat, and calls on the Muslim world to rise up against radical Islamic terrorism.

Now, for President al-Sisi to do that — he is a Muslim leader of one of the largest Muslim nations in the world — for him to do that, that was courageous. He was literally putting a bounty on his head for the Islamists who will try to murder him for calling it out. And as I observe in the book, A Time for Truth, what does it say when the president of Egypt shows more courage, more clarity, more willingness to confront this evil threat than does the president of the United States? That's unfortunate.

Inskeep then came back to needle Senator Cruz that Donald Trump was "outbidding" him on the Muslims:

INSKEEP: Has Donald Trump effectively outbid you here, Senator? Because he's calling to block all Muslims from coming to the United States, which would eliminate any potential Muslim who might be a threat.

CRUZ: Well, I disagree with Donald on that. He — he is welcome to discuss his policy ideas. That — that is not my view of how we should approach it. My view is we should focus very directly on the threat, which is radical Islamic terrorism. And Islamism —

INSKEEP: So, you're fine if plenty of Muslims come by other routes other than what your legislation deals with? You're perfectly comfortable with that?

CRUZ: There are millions of peaceful Muslims in the world. There are millions of peaceful Muslims in America. This is not about the Islamic faith. It is about Islamism, which is a very different thing.

Islamism, you saw with the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, a belief — the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. It funds jihadists across the world. And Islamism is a political and theological belief that the fanatics must bring an Islamic caliphate to this world, that they must forcibly convert or murder all of the infidels, being anyone that doesn't embrace their radical Islamic views, and that they must wage jihad against not just the little Satan, which is what they call Israel, but also the great Satan, which is what they call America. In all of that, they are very candid about saying it is their object to kill as many Americans as possible, and the president refuses to acknowledge this or to do anything serious to defend this.

This keeps on happening throughout the interview, but this is the worst of it. Everyone understands that a network like NPR isn't going to run a 30-minute interview (unless it was with Terry Gross on Fresh Air or The Diane Rehm Show, and both of those hosts would probably quit before they were pressed to have a talk with Ted Cruz). But the edits here look very opportunistic, and the questions are much harsher than President Obama receives -- or Bernie Sanders, to use a more recent example. It's merely the latest proof that NPR is a taxpayer-funded sandbox for liberals.

Democrats’ misleading claims about closing the no-fly list ‘loophole’

Democrats’ misleading claims about closing the no-fly list ‘loophole’ - The Washington Post:
Critics say tying a gun ban directly to names on the Terrorist Watchlist, and specifically the no-fly list, could violate Second Amendment rights because it’s unclear how people are added to the list, and whether they truly belong there.
The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the government over the no-fly list, on behalf of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who couldn’t fly because they were on the list without being told why they were on it, or being given a “reasonable opportunity to get off it.”
The Intercept in 2014 obtained the National Counterterrorism Center’s 2013 Watchlisting Guidance, which revealed the government was allowed to designate individuals as representatives of terror organizations “without any evidence they are actually connected to such organizations; it gives a single White House official the unilateral authority to place entire ‘categories’ of people the government is tracking onto the No Fly and selectee lists.”
“Not even death provides a guarantee of getting off the list,” the Intercept reported, and the process of getting off the watch list is “simple yet opaque...”

Why Does Obama Call ISIS 'ISIL'?

Articles: Why Does Obama Call ISIS 'ISIL'?:
Many who closely follow the dueling Islamic terror narratives emanating from the White House are mystified by Mr. Obama's inability (or deliberate unwillingness) to utter the phrase "Islamic terrorists."
 Many are curious, too, about why he refuses to call ISIS "ISIS," steadfastly insisting instead that everybody in his administration call the terror group "ISIL."
What's the difference, and why is it important? 
 The agendas behind each diverge widely. 
In fact, the variance between the two is elephantine in scale.
ISIS stands for the "Islamic State in Iraq and Syria," a terror group controlling a large swath of both Iraq and Syria...
ISIL, Obama's preference, stands for the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant."
According to glaphyridae.com, "[t]he Levant in its geographical sense comprises the following political entities: the west part of Syria, Lebanon, west part of Jordan, Palestine (West Bank and Gaza Strip), Israel and Sinai (Egypt)."...
...That Obama uses ISIL in discussing the terrorists is extremely telling and chilling.
 To those of us who keep our fingers on the pulse of Middle Eastern geopolitics, the distinctions separating ISIS and ISIL are by no means meager..."
...Taken together, all of this gets us closer to understanding why Obama refuses to call Islamic terrorists what they are.
His use of ISIL could be a strong indication that he supports re-establishing Muslim rule and sharia law throughout the Levant, and good riddance to Israel.
...Edward Klein, who authored The Amateur, a book about Obama, told the Daily Caller that he interviewed Wright (and has him quoted on tape), who told Klein that he (Wright) "made it comfortable" for Obama to accept Christianity without having to renounce his "Islamic background."
We believe it's time to stop whispering about what much of the nation is thinking, but we leave it up to you to decide why Obama calls ISIS ISIL, why he can't bring himself to call Islamic terrorists what they are, and why he acts in a manner that supports Islam over Christianity at every opportunity.

Europeans and Americans on the Rampage!!!

Europeans and Americans on the Rampage!!! :: SteynOnline:

"...Etc. So here we go again. A ninth attacker in the Paris bloodbath has been named:

A 23-year-old man from Strasbourg, eastern France, has been identified as the third attacker involved in the terrorist assault at the Bataclan music hall in Paris, police sources have said.

Foued Mohamed Aggad went to Syria with his brother and a group of friends at the end of 2013, according to a source close to the investigation. Most of the others were arrested in spring last year after returning to France but Aggad stayed on in Syria, the source said.

The news was further confirmation that the deadly Paris attacks were carried out largely, if not entirely, by Europeans trained by Isis in Syria.

Europeans, everywhere. I switched on Fox News in my hotel room this morning to catch Bill Hemmer saying that this means "Seven of the nine terrorists were European." As the Guardian report continues:

The latest information means that all of the assailants identified so far were French or Belgian, all native French speakers, and the attacks increasingly appear to have been part of a homegrown terror plot.

So "Europeans" are the principal security threat. 
Along with "Americans" like "28-year-old California man Syed Farook".

This is why the public is not joining the media, the Democrats and the GOP establishment in getting the vapors over Donald Trump's comments about Muslim immigration. 
The men pulling the triggers in Paris and San Bernardino are men with French, Belgian and US passports, but they are not "French", "Belgian" or "American" in any meaningful sense. They regard their primary identity as Muslim - and their citizenship as a mere travel document. 
So it doesn't require a large leap to wonder whether Islam is, in fact, an issue.

Instead, media commentators are arguing that the fact that all these "28-year-old California men" and "23-year-old Strasbourg men" are going bananas demonstrates that there's nothing to fear from all these zillions of "Syrian" "refugees". 
These "Syrians" are harmless. 
The real loonies are all these "homegrown" Americans and Europeans. 
Our cities would be a lot safer if we had more Syrians and fewer Americans and Europeans.

As I said to Sean Hannity on Monday night, one reason why Trump's "outrageous" remarks never dent his numbers a whit is because to significant numbers of people he sounds far less insane than the mainstream consensus - now insisting that all these psycho "American" and "European" terrorists demonstrate why we'd be much better off letting in millions of "refugees".

~The latest brain-dead euphemism is "radicalized". As in: Oh, did you hear about poor Mohammed? He became radicalized. Don't know how it happened. He went out for a stroll in the park, and somehow came back "radicalized"..."

“Cruz is so extreme,” Dole said..
It should be noted that Dole has endorsed former Florida governor Jeb Bush.
Dole, a former Kansas senator, was particularly critical of Cruz.
The Texas senator has slammed losing Republican nominees — a group that includes Dole — for failing to sufficiently appeal to conservative voters
“He used to make these speeches, ‘Remember President Dole? Do you remember President (John) McCain?'” Dole said.
“The inference was that we were all a bunch of liberals, and only he is a true conservative.”
Dole said it might be difficult for him to vote for Cruz, should he become the Republican nominee.
“Well, I would … I might oversleep that day,” Dole said."

‘Hillary for prosecution, not president’

‘Hillary for prosecution, not president’:

“The project is an effort by WND and its dedicated investigative reporting team, private investigators, judicial watchdogs, state officials and attorneys who recognize it’s not enough just to document Clinton crimes, but to bring them to the attention of prosecutors who will bring them to justice before she can even accept the nomination of the Democratic Party for the presidency of the United States,” says Corsi. “We need help to hire the private investigators needed to prove that Bill and Hillary Clinton, along with a cadre of close associates, have used the Clinton Foundation to be a personal piggy bank, in complete disregard of state and federal laws that strictly prohibit what is known as ‘inurement,’ the crime of using a tax-exempt foundation to defraud charitable donors so their contributions can be diverted to personal use.”

Paul Albaugh: China Games the Climate Change Conference

Paul Albaugh: China Games the Climate Change Conference — The Patriot Post:
"After a week of climate change talks in Paris, there remains much uncertainty regarding the end result.
...Recall that the central focus on these talks is that both developed and developing nations must commit to reducing carbon emissions so that we can prevent the global temperature from increasing more than two degrees Celsius.
Without doing so, a parade of horribles awaits, they tell us. In the eyes of so many world “leaders,” this perceived threat remains more of a pressing concern than real threats.
...As Hot Air’s Bruce McQuain writes, “Lately the meme has been that ISIS is a result of climate change (even though, for the past 10 years, the climate hasn’t changed). 
We’ve been treated to all sorts of theories masquerading as ‘proof’ that climate change is real.
We’ve watched the alarmists ignore contrary data and continue to tell their big lie.”
...According to the Heritage Foundation’s Nicolas Loris, we should be wary of China’s commitment to reduce emissions.
China remains the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions, and that isn’t going to change any time soon.
China is constructing 350 coal-fired power plants and has plans to build another 800. 
As Loris notes, “This is the country that we’re going to trust to peak emissions 15 years from now?”
...The Wall Street Journal notes, “In 2013 China burned 3.9 billion tons of coal, almost as much as the rest of the world.”
Further, “Last week Beijing suffered several days of heavy pollution in which the most hazardous particulates in the air exceeded safe levels by 25 times.”
...As another Wall Street Journal Column observes, “Energy-intensive industries like manufacturing, chemicals, cement and pulp and paper will be particular victims and may decamp for overseas.
The President is trading away the competitive advantage of cheap U.S. natural gas for a bag of anticarbon promises.”
If the Paris talks accomplish anything, it won’t be reining in CO2 emissions.
But if the talks end up producing any results, it will be massive redistribution of wealth on a global scale.
Somebody will have to pay for these mandates and it won’t be China or India — or any other developing country for that matter.
The developed nations will be paying for it. Well played China, well played."
