The Art of the Steal: Dems Set Stage for 2020 - The Rush Limbaugh Show

The Art of the Steal: Dems Set Stage for 2020 - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

I think if we stick at this long enough and we dig deep enough to find out what they’re actually doing here, I think the Democrats are trying to set the stage for some kind of election law change or adjustment that they think they’re gonna need in 2020. You know, Florida is perennially close, like Ohio is, and I think that the focus on the recounts here for Nelson and Scott and Gillum and DeSantis is actually intended to keep our attention distracted from what may really – I don’t know what it is. Do not misunderstand, I cannot specify what might be going on, but I can tell you all we have to do, if you think things are normal in Florida, take a look at this. This is not normal. This is abnormal.

MATH ERROR: Scientists Admit ‘Mistakes’ Led To Alarming Results In Major Global Warming Study | Watts Up With That?

• Scientists behind a headline-grabbing climate study admitted they “really muffed” their paper.
• Their study claimed to find 60 percent more warming in the oceans, but that was based on math errors.
• The errors were initially spotted by scientist Nic Lewis, who called them “serious (but surely inadvertent) errors.”
  
  
  The scientists behind a headline-grabbing global warming study did something that seems all too rare these days — they admitted to making mistakes and thanked the researcher, a global warming skeptic, who pointed them out..."

GOP will never win a statewide election in MI again. Ever.

GOP will never win a statewide election in MI again.
Ever.
I worked all election day (in MI) as poll worker.
The only proof we were allowed to check was name/address on ID.
As long as name and address were confirmed on computer as "legally registered", they got to vote.
A black 6'7" male could show ID for a white 5'6" female.
Or, instead of producing photo ID, sign the affidavit below.
We could force a "provisional ballot" but reality is it rarely happens.
Similar issue in most states.
"Register-to-vote" laws are fuzzy and easy to fudge.
But once registered, no matter if illegally, the vote is considered legal. 
Works really well for the large scale Absentee Voter vote thieves.
GOP has had 8 years to fix but scared of "racist" label.
Therefore, when vote stealing is exposed, GOPer leaders cave and say "twas an honest mistake".
Since most of the really overt cheating is done in democrat (minority) controlled cities, I don't see GOP winning many/any close elections. 
Ever again.
(This not an indictment of the vast majority of MI county/city/twp. clerks or poll workers. The system, controlled by the GOP, has set the rules. The rules require all be honest. Dishonesty is rarely punished, always rewarded.)

California Wildfires are NOT due to ‘climate change’ – Dr. Rich Swier

California Wildfires are NOT due to ‘climate change’ – Dr. Rich Swier:

“In the United States, wildfires are also due in part to a failure to thin forests or remove dead and diseased trees. In 2014, forestry professor David B. South of Auburn University testified to the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that “data suggest that extremely large megafires were four-times more common before 1940,” adding that “we cannot reasonably say that anthropogenic global warming causes extremely large wildfires.” As he explained, “To attribute this human-caused increase in fire risk to carbon dioxide emissions is simply unscientific.”

Record high business optimism, need for employees at 45-year high
"The record level of economic optimism among small businesses is continuing, and those firms trying to fill jobs is at a 45-year high, according to a new industry report.

The National Federation of Independent Businesses said the optimism has only been this high three times in the last 43 years and has consistently been high all year long.

In their report, NFIB said, “Overall, small businesses continue to support the 3 percent plus growth of the economy and add significant numbers of new workers to the employment pool..."

"California is also home to the 9th Circuit, which consistently rules against proper forest management on federal lands and sustains green groups which fight any attempts by individuals to clear brush and scrub that threatens their property. 
The case of the individual legally pursued for clearing his property to ensure fire didn't consume his house springs comes to mind.
All his neighbors who complied with the regulations' houses burned.
Only his remained.
All to "save" the kangaroo rat, which may have found his yard's habitat attractive.
The very animals the greens proclaim they want to protect die in massive numbers in catastrophic wildfires.
And then they blame it on global warming. 
And ask for contributions."

The Common Thread in All Those Florida Election Debacles

The Common Thread in All Those Florida Election Debacles:

One thing Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis have going for them -- besides the obvious lead in vote totals so far -- is history. Republican presidential candidates Rutherford B. Hayes and George W. Bush both eventually ended up carrying the state of Florida in 1876 and 2000, two other prolonged elections.
Even before Brenda Snipes ran elections in Broward County, Florida had real issues with counting votes.

For many Israeli families, the Gaza Strip is a short walk from their backyard. IDF soldiers don’t just protect a border, but what lies behind it -- our families, our homes, and our children.

Prof sues over gender pronoun usage

Prof sues over gender pronoun usage

• A Shawnee State University professor is suing his university, alleging that he was punished over refusing to use a student's preferred gender pronoun.
• Nicholas Meriwether, who cited his Christian beliefs when refusing to use the pronoun, claims that the student told him, “then I guess this means I can call you a c**t.”
  
  A professor at a public university in Ohio is suing the school, claiming he was punished for not calling a student by their preferred pronoun.
  The professor called on the student in class, saying “yes, sir.”
  The lawsuit states that Meriweather "has always used the titles and pronouns that refer to a student's biological gender" and that he "has never knowingly used feminine titles and pronouns to refer to men or masculine titles and pronouns to refer to women."
  ...Following the class period in January 2018, the student in question “demanded” that the professor address the student as a female, the lawsuit alleges.
  ...But, when Meriwether declined to address the student as a female, the student allegedly told the professor, “then I guess this means I can call you a c**t.” ...

We hear about US jobs outsourced overseas ('stolen') but what about the 7.1M insourced jobs we ‘steal’ from abroad? - AEI

We hear about US jobs outsourced overseas ('stolen') but what about the 7.1M insourced jobs we ‘steal’ from abroad? - AEI
Carpe Diem

"We’ve heard a lot of criticism over the last several years, especially from President Trump and many of his economic advisers and supporters, about US firms outsourcing factory jobs overseas, along with accusations that countries like Mexico, China, and Japan are “stealing US jobs” (see more than 20,000 Google search results for “Trump” + “stealing jobs”). 

...What we don’t hear very much about from Team Trump are the jobs that are “insourced” into every US state by foreign companies, even though those insourced jobs totaled more than 7.1 million Americans and represented 5.6% of all private sector US jobs in 2016 based on new preliminary data released this week by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on “Activities of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign Multinational Enterprises in 2016.” 

The map above (thanks to AEI’s Allison Torban for assistance) shows the thousands (and in half of the US states the hundreds of thousands) of insourced jobs in each US state in 2016.

Here are some key statistics on jobs insourced to the U.S. that highlight some of the significant economic benefits to the U.S. economy from the thousands of foreign-based firms that outsource jobs and production to the U.S.:

• More than 6,000 US affiliates of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) employed 7.1 million American workers in 2016, an increase of 3.9% from 2015, adding roughly 300,000 to the US economy..."

Behar Blames 'Gerrymandering' for GOP Senate Wins in Midterms

Behar Blames 'Gerrymandering' for GOP Senate Wins in Midterms:

Joy Behar of "The View" falsely claimed Wednesday that Republicans maintained control–and even gained seats–in the Senate this election cycle because of gerrymandering, a process that impacts congressional districts.
ABC’s Matt Dowd had to reply that the Republican Party's ability to control of the Senate while obtaining less votes in the national popular vote was not a result of gerrymandering. "That’s the Constitution," he said.

'Emergency Voting' Centers Opened by Dem Recorder Raise Questions
"Republicans argue Maricopa merely created illegal extension of early voting
PHOENIX, Ariz.—Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes's (D.) answers to questions about controversial emergency voting centers opened on the Saturday and Monday before Election Day only inspired more criticism from Republicans, who consider the centers workarounds for voting election deadlines set by law.
The debate over Maricopa County's logistical decisions comes as ballots continue to slowly be counted in Arizona's Senate contest.
...By law, early voting is supposed to end on the Friday before Election Day, but the law also provides for the emergency voting centers that may be created after. 
Ambiguities over the "emergency voting" statute—including questions as to what constitutes an emergency and whether or not a voter should have to prove their emergency—are the points of conflict..."

Petition asks UMN to 'address' College Republicans' gender pronoun mural

• A painting by the College Republicans at the University of Minnesota was vandalized at least twice.
• The university said that was it able to identify the individual who spray painted the College Republicans panel," but that the "city attorney's office has declined to charge the individual.”

College Republicans at the University of Minnesota painted a critique of a proposed pronoun policy at the school, but the mural was later vandalized with the phrase “Queer Power.”
Now, some students are petitioning the university to take action against the College Republicans, saying that their mural constituted "hate speech." 
Every year, student groups at UMN decorate blank bridge panels on Washington Avenue Bridge. College Republicans painted panels on Oct. 11 that included the statement, “the proposed pronoun policy mocks real social issues,” “Make the [university] great again,” “Trump 2020,” and “all opinions are welcome here” for their 2018 design..."

Lack of sunspots to bring record cold, warns NASA scientist - Ice Age Now

Lack of sunspots to bring record cold, warns NASA scientist - Ice Age Now

“It could happen in a matter of months,” says Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center.

“The sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age,” wrote Dr Tony Phillips just six weeks ago, on 27 Sep 2018.

Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018 and Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding, says Phillips, editor of spaceweather.com.

Data from NASA’s TIMED satellite show that the thermosphere (the uppermost layer of air around our planet) is cooling and shrinking, literally decreasing the radius of the atmosphere.
...“Right now, it is very low indeed … 10 times smaller than we see during more active phases of the solar cycle,” says Mlynczak

Record cold in a matter of months

“If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold,” says Mlynczak. “We’re not there quite yet, but it could happen in a matter of months.”
