TPUSA Activist: 2020 Democrats Claim Ignorance, Refuse to Condemn Antifa | Breitbart
"Turning Point USA (TPUSA) activist and student Zach Doehermann told Breitbart News that multiple 2020 Democrat primary presidential candidates claimed that they did not know what Antifa was after being asked if they would denounce the organization widely known for terrorizing conservatives. 
Doehermann joined host SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily Alex Marlow in a Wednesday interview for TPUSA’s weekly campus report.
...“It was really interesting to see who actually did denounce, and who didn’t,” added Doehermann. “Kirsten Gillibrand — she didn’t know who they were.”

Listen below:

“Jay Inslee, the governor of Washington,” continued Doehermann, “you’d think with all the stuff that’s going on in Portland, [that] he would’ve condemned them right away, but he was like, ‘Oh, who is Antifa? I’ve never heard of them before.'”...

Politics By Infomercial | Intellectual Takeout
"...Modern political campaigns bear an uncomfortable resemblance to infomercials. 
You know the ones: a loud, fast-talking spokesperson appears on the television to point out a common problem.
My kids drew on the walls, someone scratched my car, I wish my blanket had sleeves.
Then they will excitedly offer a supposedly amazing solution. 
They’ll demonstrate their product and, viola!, the problem is solved.
This formula is used by most of the 2020 Democratic candidates.
Both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, for example, have promised to end the “student loan crisis” by “cancelling” the debt altogether.
It’s the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for education policy.
One brush and the debt is wiped away!
...Andrew Yang’s campaign is the most transparently transactional.
He wants to institute a universal basic income called the “Freedom Dividend.” 
Essentially his pitch is “Vote for me and when I’m elected I’ll give you all $1,000 a month!”
He’s a used-car salesman offering that big rebate that you just can’t pass up.
But buyer-beware: you’re probably being sold a lemon..."

Graham On US-China Trade War: ‘Until They Feel The Pain, They’re Not Going To Stop’ | The Daily Caller:

South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said Americans have to be ready to tighten their belts in order to make China’s government change its trade practices.
“I’m glad American companies are in China doing business because there’s a lot of customers. What I don’t like is they close off markets to the American business community in China,” Graham said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “They’re required to have a Chinese business partner when you do business in China, and they steal all of your stuff.”

VENI, VIDI, VINUM: How Two Italians Achieved a 200-Year-Old Dream of Virginian Wine.

"VENI, VIDI, VINUM: 
How Two Italians Achieved a 200-Year-Old Dream of Virginian Wine. 
“Since Thomas Jefferson first tried, growing European vines had always failed.”...

Op-eds criticized them as buffoons. Locals cracked jokes about them being in the Mafia. An arsonist burned down the barn housing their winery. Farmers who had planted French-hybrid vines spoke out against them. Officials viewed them with suspicion—as if the endeavor were actually a ruse to undermine the East Coast’s so-called wine industry or mislead local farmers.
When Virginia’s commissioner of agriculture ascertained what was happening, he summonsed Rausse to a conference room in Richmond. 

...Rausse says he did not like being told what he couldn’t do.

He then went on to make lots of award-winning Virginia wines, and in the process almost single-handedly jump-started quality East Coast winemaking.
I very much doubt our experts in any field have gotten smarter, better informed, or wiser in the last 40 years. 
Or as Heinlein wrote just a few years before Rausse was told what he couldn’t do, “Always listen to experts. They’ll tell you what can’t be done, and why. 
Then do it.”--Posted by Stephen Green"

Ilhan Omar Mocks Republicans For ‘Losing Their Minds’ Over Muslims In Congress | The Daily Caller:

“Keep in mind, Muslims more so than most people have great animosity towards Israel and the Jewish faith,” Brooks said.
“And as you have more and more Muslims in the United States, as they gain greater and greater influence in elections, particularly in Democratic Party primaries — then you’re going to see more and more people like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and company that are anti-Israel, and that brings an entirely different viewpoint into the United States Congress.”

"August, 1946: The citizens of Athens, Tennessee stage an armed revolt against their corrupt local government. 

People had long been outraged by the local Democratic machine, headed by Boss E.H. Crump, which maintained power through graft and electoral fraud, and used the local sheriff's department as a tool of oppression and brutality. 

The machine also kept tight control over the region's newspapers and its grasp extended to every part of local government: said one veteran returning from WWII, "You couldn't even get hired as a schoolteacher without their okay, or any other job." 

The sheriff's department routinely rousted returning G.I.s and hit them with trumped up fees and fines to steal as much of their pay as possible.

Receiving no help from the federal government - The (DEMOCRAT) Department of Justice had investigated election fraud in 1940, 1942, and 1944, but had failed to take any effective action - tensions grew until the August 1946 election, when a group of G.I.s put forward their own slate of candidates in an attempt to overthrow the Crump machine once and for all. 
They were met on Election day by false arrests, vote fraud, and voter intimidation. 
Things finally came to a head when an elderly black farmer was turned away from the polls, and subsequently beaten by a policeman with brass knuckles when he and the veteran assigned as a poll watcher objected. The farmer tried to escape, but was shot in the back and killed.

The people had had enough..."

Climate Alarmists Foiled: No U.S. Warming Since 2005 | RealClearEnergy

Climate Alarmists Foiled: No U.S. Warming Since 2005 | RealClearEnergy
"...That is because there has been no warming in the United States since at least 2005, according to updated data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
In January 2005, NOAA began recording temperatures at its newly built U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN).
USCRN includes 114 pristinely maintained temperature stations spaced relatively uniformly across the lower 48 states. NOAA selected locations that were far away from urban and land-development impacts that might artificially taint temperature readings.
Prior to the USCRN going online, alarmists and skeptics sparred over the accuracy of reported temperature data. 
...The USCRN has eliminated the need to rely on, and adjust the data from, outdated temperature stations.
Strikingly, as shown in the graph below, USCRN temperature stations show no warming since 2005 when the network went online. 
If anything, U.S. temperatures are now slightly cooler than they were 14 years ago.

Temperature readings from 2005 (far left) to the present (far right) show absolutely no warming..."

G7: Trump Smacks Down Macron's Claim to Leading Role in Iran Talks

G7: Trump Smacks Down Macron's Claim to Leading Role in Iran Talks:

The first fissures emerged among G7 leaders on Sunday over how to deal with Iran, as U.S. President Donald Trump denied he had signed on to an agreement on giving France a leading role as a go-between with the world’s major democracies.
Trump had tried to play down tensions among Group of Seven (G7) leaders after an intimate dinner Saturday in the southwest French resort of Biarritz, but came out swiftly to dispute France’s claim that they had agreed to let President Emmanuel Macron deliver a message to Iran on their behalf.

Why Everything They Say About The Amazon, Including That It's The 'Lungs Of The World,' Is Wrong

Why Everything They Say About The Amazon, Including That It's The 'Lungs Of The World,' Is Wrong
"The increase in fires burning in Brazil set off a storm of international outrage last week. Celebrities, environmentalists, and political leaders blame Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, for destroying the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon, which they say is the “lungs of the world.”
...“The lungs of the Earth are in flames,” said actor Leonardo DiCaprio. 
“The Amazon Rainforest produces more than 20% of the world’s oxygen,” tweeted soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. 
“The Amazon rain forest — the lungs which produce 20% of our planet’s oxygen — is on fire,” tweeted French President Emanuel Macron.
And yet the photos weren’t actually of the fires and many weren’t even of the Amazon. 
The photo Ronaldo shared was taken in southern Brazil, far from the Amazon, in 2013. The photo that DiCaprio and Macron shared is over 20 years old. 
The photo Madonna and Smith shared is over 30. 
Some celebrities shared photos from Montana, India, and Sweden.
To their credit, CNN and New York Times debunked the photos and other misinformation about the fires. 
“Deforestation is neither new nor limited to one nation,” explained CNN. 
“These fires were not caused by climate change,” noted The Times..."
