When Pressed on the Bigger Threat, Terrorism or Climate Change, Here’s How the White House Responds | TheBlaze.com:
"A White House national security official was unable to give a definitive answer to reporters Monday when pressed on whether climate change or terrorism poses a larger risk to the United States.
Deputy National Security Adviser Ben would say only that both threats are serious but different.
“I’m not going to rank them, because they are different."

Must read of the day!-----The Usual Suspect
The Usual Suspect | PJ Media:
"...Conventional wisdom held they should be dying.
For years the numbers of phytoplankton were thought to be in decline due to Global Warming.
"A 2010 study published in Nature reported that marine phytoplankton have declined substantially in the world's oceans over the past century."
But the Johns Hopkins study contradicted this claim. Something -- perhaps C02 -- was revving up the plankton.
"Scientists have long thought that the number of plankton species would decline due to increased acidity in the oceans.
However, over the last four decades or so they have grown to be much more in abundance, a new study indicates. ...
"Something strange is happening here, and it's happening much more quickly than we thought it should," Anand Gnanadesikan, associate professor in the Morton K. Blaustein Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins."
Just as nuclear power and radiation explained everything in the 1950s, in 2015 the usual suspect in all modern mysteries is Global Warming.
"In Britain last week, Sky News aired an interview with Prince Charles in which he declared that a clear link existed between climate change and the emergence of Islamic State."
It was therefore understandable that Global Warming is the presumed cause for the phytoplankton boom just as it was the culprit in its former assumed decline.
The way the narrative works is the Usual Suspect is guilty in every case.
Things are simpler that way..."

Show us the PROOF!!-----The Burden of Proof on Climate Change
Articles: The Burden of Proof on Climate Change:
"The burden of proof for Anthropogenic Climate Change falls on alarmists.
Climate Change (CC) has been ongoing for millions of years – long before humans existed on this planet.
Obviously, the causes were all of natural origin, and not anthropogenic.
There is no reason to believe that these natural causes have suddenly stopped; for example, volcanic eruptions, various types of solar influences, and (internal) atmosphere-ocean oscillations all continue today. (Note that these natural factors cannot be modeled precisely.)
Let’s call this the “Null Hypothesis.”
Logically therefore, the burden of proof is on alarmists to demonstrate that the Null Hypothesis is not adequate to account for empirical climate data; alarmists must provide convincing observational evidence for Anthropogenic CC (ACC)
– by detailed comparison of empirical data with GH models.
I am not aware of such proofs, only of anecdotal info – although I admit that ACC is plausible; after all, CO2 is a GH gas, and its level has been rising, mainly because of burning of fossil fuels.
However, ACC appears to be much smaller than predicted by GH models; there is even believed to be a period of no warming [“hiatus”] during the past 19 years – in spite of rapidly rising atmospheric CO2 levels [1]."

Will Congress declare war on ISIS?
Will Congress declare war on ISIS?:
"Seemingly arguing against simply a reauthorization of military force by Congress, many, like Long, are making it clear they are calling for a constitutional declaration of war – an action not invoked by Congress for 75 years.
“A formal declaration of war will give unequivocal direction to our elected government – to tell them we must stand and fight, to not cower,” Long wrote. “War is horrible. Appeasement, surrender and moral cowardice are acts worse than war. We must stand together and steel ourselves for what lies ahead.”

Real refugees sentenced to death by Obama-----The slow death of hope for America’s loyal friends in Iraq
The slow death of hope for America’s loyal friends in Iraq - FT.com:
The phone calls in the past week were tearful.
I spoke to two Iraqis, former colleagues who had risked their lives for Americans, to tell them I doubted they would ever be welcomed in my country.
As France mourned murders by Islamist terrorists, and US politicians thousands of miles away spewed anti-refugee rhetoric, I realised my friends probably had no friends in Washington.
For years after the 2003 invasion, Americans relied on Iraqis to navigate a country whose terrain we barely knew and whose sectarian loyalties it was vital to understand.
Journalists could not have survived without them.
Neither could the troops, aid workers or diplomats.
The goodwill of those caught in the middle of these war zones — whether in Iraq or now perhaps in Syria — allowed us to stay safe and do our jobs.
...In the weeks that followed, though, I found few people in my government willing to help.
No single bureaucrat wanted to accept responsibility.
... “To be honest, I lost hope,” Nadeem said. “After this week — and what I saw in Washington — I can’t have hope.”
Sinan, so often the peacemaker during turbulent times in Iraq, told me he does not feel especially alone in his despair; many people in Iraq feel abandoned.
Before I called, he had been working on a security brief for the UN and he shared what he knew: 10 bodies, riddled with bullets, had been found dumped in various places around Baghdad.
Yes, he said, he wished for a better life. “But it is not your fault, my dear. Don’t be angry.
I think the whole world has gone crazy.”

626 Democrat Politicians Just Rose Up Against Obama And Sent Him A Demand He Didn't Want To See
626 Democrat Politicians Just Rose Up Against Obama And Sent Him A Demand He Didn't Want To See:
"The president has stated that his plans for the energy sector will necessarily cause utility rates to “skyrocket“ and result in the closure of coal-fired power plants.
The Heritage Foundation released a study last fall that found the EPA regulations the Obama administration has announced in order to achieve its climate change goals would reduce the United States’ Gross Domestic Product by $2.5 trillion by 2030. Further, employment levels would “track nearly 300,000 jobs below the no-carbon-regulation baseline in an average year, with some years seeing an employment deficit of more than 1 million jobs.”

Scum-bag! Caught in his own lies!-----Politico reporter downplays 'clumsy' Chelsea Clinton request
Politico reporter downplays 'clumsy' Chelsea Clinton request | Washington Examiner
Politico reporter Mike Allen on Monday downplayed his attempt to offer Chelsea Clinton a "relaxed" interview, and instead chalked it up to a "clumsy" email he wrote.
A 2013 email trail showed that Allen told Clinton aide Philippe Reines that if Chelsea Clinton agreed to an interview, the questions would be pre-screened. Allen said his offer amounted to a "no risk" interview opportunity for Clinton.
Allen didn't offer an explicit apology for the email, but did tell his readers "My bad!" in his Monday morning email.
He then implied that he never really offered cushy interview terms to Clinton, since his employer doesn't allow him to make that offer.
"You may have missed a Gawker post last week that rightly took me to task for something clumsy I wrote in an email to Philippe Reines in 2013, seeking an interview with Chelsea Clinton at a Politico brunch," he said, referring to the site that first published the emails.
"In the email, I said I'd agree to the questions in advance."
"I have never done that, and would never do that," he wrote.
"The email makes me cringe, because I should never have suggested we would," he added.
"We retain full, unambiguous editorial control over our events and questioning.
My bond with readers and newsmakers is built on knowing I don't pull punches."
Allen said Politico's policy is never to promise editorial control to an interview subject, and defended his past interviews as "spontaneous, conversational and news-driven."
The interview never took place.
But in the 2013 email conversation between Allen and Reines, Allen said, "I would work with you on topics [for the interview with Chelsea], and would start with anything she wants to cover or make news on.
Quicker than a network hit, and reaching an audience you care about with no risk."
It's not unusual for a journalist to discuss the terms of a potential interview in advance, but it is remarkable that an influential reporter would suggest that he was entirely relinquishing control of an interview to a powerful person, though Chelsea's mother Hillary had not yet announced her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination."

NYT Changes Global Warming To "Climate Whiplash"
NYT Changes Global Warming To "Climate Whiplash" | The Daily Caller:
"Ironically, the COP 21 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris began 565 days after Fabius declared we only had 500 days to avert “climate chaos.”
“Climate chaos” has remained the politically correct description of global warming ever since, despite its failure to materialize.
The New York Times opinion piece uses the term “climate whiplash” to describe the long-term outcomes of global warming, including potential cooling that could occur thousands of years from now.
It claims that, in thousands of years, the cooling predicted to follow global warming will cause species adapted to deal with global warming to go extinct."

Democrats shooting democrats in democrat controlled cites!-----We’re now averaging more than one mass shooting per day in 2015
We’re now averaging more than one mass shooting per day in 2015 - The Washington Post
"Aug. 26 is the 238th day of the year.
And with the fatal shooting in Virginia today — in which a gunman shot himself after killing two reporters and wounding one more person — plus the shooting of four during a Minneapolis home invasion, the number of mass shooting incidents has risen to 247 for the year.
These numbers are compiled by the moderators of the GunsAreCool subreddit, a sarcastically named community that tracks gun violence in America.
They define "mass shooting" as any single incident in which at least four people are shot, including the gunman.
The tracker comes in for some criticism because its definition is broader than the FBI's definition, which requires three or more people to be killed by gunfire.
But the broader definition is nonetheless a useful one, because it captures many high-profile instances of violence — like the recent Lafayette theater shootings — that don't meet the FBI's criteria..."

CONFUSED AGAIN: Hillary thinks Republicans are in charge | The American Mirror:
Is this what Huma Abedin means when she says Hillary is “often confused”?
CNN’s Dan Merica was covering Clinton’s speech to a union crowd in Boston yesterday when he quoted her as saying, “It is time we get back to where we were before the Republicans came in and messed it up again.”
The last time we checked, Barack Obama is nearing his 8th year in office.
A Republican hasn’t been the executive in nearly a decade — Hillary’s own party has been in control.
But maybe the recent batch of state department emails explains Clinton’s rhetoric.
Judicial Watch reported in mid-November:
Judicial Watch today released more than 35 pages of emails former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin revealing that Abedin advised Clinton aide and frequent companion Monica Hanley that it was “very important” to go over phone calls with Clinton because the former Secretary of State was “often confused.”

Report: Sen. Sessions Exposes 12 Refugees Linked to Terrorism This Year
Report: Sen. Sessions Exposes 12 Refugees Linked to Terrorism This Year | NumbersUSA:
"Refuting claims suggesting that no refugees had been linked to terrorism, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., released a list of 12 refugees who had links to terror plans in 2015, according to Breitbart News. These
claims went viral in the main stream media just as President Obama came under increasing fire for his plan to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. this fiscal year.
Below are excerpts from Breitbart’s report concerning several of the refugees sought, indicted or sentenced on terror grounds.
“On January 29, 2015, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, a federal warrant was unsealed for the arrest of Liban Haji Mohamed – a native of Somalia who sources indicate came to the United States as a refugee, adjusted to Lawful Permanent Resident status, and subsequently applied for and received citizenship – for allegedly providing material support to Harakat Shabaab Al-Mujahidin, also known as Al-Shabaab and Al-Qaeda.
Mohamed is believed to have left the U.S. on July 5, 2012, with the intent to join Al-Shabaab in East Africa."
Read on and know the democrats will continue this madness.
