France Quietly Reintroducing the Crime of Blasphemy

France Quietly Reintroducing the Crime of Blasphemy

• Today, in France, using freedom of expression to criticize Islam is clearly an extremely dangerous act, even if you, like Mila, are a child.
• France is rapidly going from laïcité (secularism) to lâcheté (cowardice); from freedom of expression to unconditional surrender.
• France keeps trying to procrastinate while Islamism thrives on the elites' rapidly abandoning their Judeo-Christian values.
• Feminist organizations, so quick to denounce "toxic masculinity" and "patriarchal structures of domination", were also silent...

Shocker: study finds global warming may be net beneficial for the global economy | Watts Up With That?
"...What the authors have done is used one the climate models (the FUND model) to look ahead at the impacts warming would have on other economic sectors besides energy. 
...What they found is surprising; the overall economic impact of 3.0°C global warming would be beneficial nor just for the United States, but the entire global economy.
They write in the introduction:
"...the projected negative impact seems to be at odds with empirical data.
If this paper’s findings from the empirical energy consumption data are correct, and if the impact functions for the non-energy sectors are correct, then the overall economic impact of global warming would be beneficial. 
If true, the implications for climate policy are substantial..."

Iranian Minister Tried To Pass Off A $20 Halloween Costume As A Real Spacesuit - The Drive

Iranian Minister Tried To Pass Off A $20 Halloween Costume As A Real Spacesuit - The Drive
"...The propensity of the Iranian regime to make often laughably hyperbolic claims about their military and technological achievements is nothing new, but some of the most absurd claims seem to routinely revolve around the country's ostensible ambitions to become a power in space. 
Earlier this week, Iran's Minister of Information and Communications Technology Tweeted out a picture purportedly of a spacesuit for future Iranian astronauts. 
Observers quickly determined that it was actually an altered Halloween costume that is readily available for purchase online.
...It's unclear why Iran thought it was a good idea to display this laughably off-the-shelf costume in a serious manner. 
It almost seems better suited to be a claimed flight suit for child-sized pilots to go along with Iran's laughable Q313 "stealth fighter" mockup from years ago..."

Earth May Be Hit By Mini Ice-Age As Sun Hibernates | Climate Dispatch

Earth May Be Hit By Mini Ice-Age As Sun Hibernates | Climate Dispatch
"Sunspot activity on the surface of the Sun follows a well-known but little understood 11-year cycle. 
Activity rises and falls creating the so-called solar maximum and then a solar minimum. During a solar maximum, the Sun is more powerful and is littered with sunspots.
Conversely, when the Sun enters a solar minimum – which it did about two years ago – energy from our host star begins to lessen.
However, one expert has warned that the Sun will enter a period of “hibernation” this year, in what as known as a Grand Solar Minimum (GSM).
Prof Valentina Zharkova, from the department of mathematics, physics and electrical engineering at Northumbria University, warned this could cause global temperatures to drop by one degrees Celsius.
While that sounds like an insignificant drop, it could have major ramifications for the planet, including a slow down in agricultural production.
The expert added the Sun’s hibernation period could last for three decades, which will lead to wetter and colder summers...."

Virginia Dems Advance Bill to Give Driver's Licenses to up to 300K Illegals

Virginia Dems Advance Bill to Give Driver's Licenses to up to 300K Illegals:

The Democrats’ takeover of the Virginia statehouse includes advancing legislation that would give driver’s licenses to as many as 300,000 illegal immigrants in the state.
The local Fox News affiliate reported that critics say the law would reward this demographic, which has already broken the law by being in the country illegally. Those who support the bill say it would “increase the state’s revenue and decrease the level of fear existing in the immigrant community.”

Submission is the Better Part of Valor :: SteynOnline
"...In early 2017, the question was asked by freelance journalist, Alison Bevege, at a local meeting of the Australian division of the Islamic organisation, Hizb ut-Tahrir; somewhat to her surprise, a spokesman for the group (no sign of a spokeswoman) obliged with a definitive answer in relation to Article 7c of their "draft constitution".
Q: "Do you want to kill ex-Muslims?"
A: "In Islam it is clear that apostates do attract capital punishment and we don't shy away from that."
Ah, well - it's just a "draft", so #NothingToSeeHere.
As an astute online commenter noted at the time: "They talk about killing ex-Muslims and complain about Islamophobia. Go figure".
The video gained prominence in late 2019 (ZOG-alert!) after it caught the attention of the 'Ex-Muslims of North America', and was retweeted by Canadian "apostate" and author of "Unveiled" Yasmine Mohammed..."

While Americans pine for 'Medicare for all,' Canadians look for US-style private insurance

While Americans pine for 'Medicare for all,' Canadians look for US-style private insurance
"About 56% of people in the United States favor "Medicare for all," according to polling from the Kaiser Family Foundation out last week.
...That majority would be wise to take a look across our northern border.
Waits for care in Canada's government-run health insurance system...are spiraling.
The remedy for those waits, according to a new report from the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute?
A dose of U.S.-style private insurance.
Right now, Canada is the only high-income country with universal health coverage that bans its citizens from purchasing private insurance for anything deemed "medically necessary."...

The Bee Apocalypse Was Never Real; Here's Why | American Council on Science and Health
"If you were concerned after reading a sentence like “Populations of honeybees have crashed in recent years, and many researchers have pointed the blame at a class of widely used insecticides called neonicotinoids,” you are not alone. 
That’s how an otherwise excellent article in The Scientist summarizing a recent USDA study on honeybees’ molecular responses to neonicotinoids began.

But you needn't be. 

The narrative that honeybees, which are actually not even native to North America, Europe or Australia, face mortal danger and will take us down with them has been advanced by environmental groups for years and echoed in media, casual blogs and mainstream science sites. 

...The only problem is that it isn’t true.

Myth of Honeybee decline

Honeybee populations haven’t “crashed” in the United States or elsewhere. 
Honeybees are not going "extinct." 
Crops are not "in trouble." ...
