N.Y. Times: We're victim of right-wing conspiracy - WND
That "objection is rich," wrote Breitbart editor Joel Pollak, given that the Times "boosted an effort by left-wing activists to shut down conservative media solely for their journalists’ coverage of the left and their editorial support for President Donald Trump."
The Childhood Quality That’s the Best Predictor of Health, Wealth, and Happiness | Intellectual Takeout
"If you were presented with the opportunity to instill one, and only one, quality in your children, what would it be?
...according to famed family physician and author Dr. Leonard Sax, parents don’t have to resign themselves or their children to such a fate.
His research shows that there is one thing parents can instill in their children to ensure a successful future.
That thing is self-control:
“What characteristic, measured in childhood, best predicts health, wealth, and happiness in that individual 20 years down the road, when the child is an adult? Is it intelligence? Grades in school? Ability to make friends? No. It is none of these things. Longitudinal cohort studies consistently find that self-control in childhood best predicts health, wealth, and happiness in adulthood, far better than IQ scores, grades in school, friendliness or popularity.”

Good news!-----Big Wind’s Big Headwinds | RealClearEnergy
"On Monday, the Seattle City Council passed a resolution that adds the city to the list of municipalities that have committed to a local version of the Green New Deal.
...But recent news out of Oregon, Massachusetts, North Dakota, and Germany shows that regulators, local governments, and environmental groups are slowing or derailing wind projects.
...History shows that when the tax credits dry up, new wind-energy installations plummet.
...Perhaps the most remarkable example of the opposition to wind energy can be seen in Germany...last month, the German newspaper Die Welt, reported that new wind installations in Germany during the first six months of 2019 “collapsed” falling to the lowest level since 2000..."

UN/World dictatorship in the making--Just read a bit of this bullsh!t-----Deep transformations needed to achieve sustainable development goals
Deep transformations needed to achieve sustainable development goals
"The Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change call for deep transformations that require complementary actions by governments, civil society, science, and business.
IIASA contributed to a new study outlining six major transformations that will be required to achieve these ambitious goals.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) focus on time-bound targets for prosperity, people, planet, peace, and partnership—collectively known as the five Ps.
By adopting the 2030 Agenda with its 17 SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement, UN member states effectively created a framework for national action and global cooperation on sustainable development, while the Paris Agreement committed signatory countries to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the middle of the century.
...Building on previous work by The World in 2050—a global research initiative established by IIASA—the authors of the study published in the journal Nature Sustainability propose six transformations to organize SDG interventions through a semi-modular action agenda that can be designed by discrete, yet interacting, parts of government.
...The 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement have given the world an aspirational narrative and an actionable agenda to achieve a just, safe, and sustainable future for all within planetary boundaries.
The six transformations provide an integrated and holistic framework for action that reduces the complexity, yet encompasses the 17 SDGs, their 169 targets, and the Paris Agreement.
They provide a new approach to shift from incremental to transformational change; to identify synergies using sustainable development pathways; formulate actionable roadmaps; and a focus on inter-relationships to uncover multiple benefits and synergies,"...
...In their paper the researchers considered which key interventions would be necessary to achieve the SDG outcomes...
...Each SDG transformation describes a major change in societal structure (economic, political, technological, and social) to achieve long-term sustainable development, while also each contributing to multiple SDGs.
Excluding any of them would make it virtually impossible to achieve the SDGs..."
Read all... if you can stomach the drivel they will enforce on us if we allow it.

Free Speech or Forced Speech? Christian T-Shirt Printer's LGBT Case Heads to KY Supreme Court | CBN News
Free Speech or Forced Speech? Christian T-Shirt Printer's LGBT Case Heads to KY Supreme Court | CBN News:
Kathy Trautvertter and Diane DiGeloromo of BMP T-shirts once told talk show host Glenn Beck they had to get involved because "when I put myself in his shoes I could see it from his side."
The LGBT printers realized they could not go against their own social mores and if asked, they "could not create or print anti-gay t-shirts for a group."
DiGeloromo said they know that siding with the printer may cause some concern in the LGBT community but "we feel it's not a gay or straight issue, it's a human issue and no one should be forced to do something against what they believe in."

"DON’T LET LET YOURSELF BE TRICKED BY LIES ABOUT FIRES IN THE AMAZON
The stories peddled in the media about ‘’record’’ fires in the Amazon is one of the biggest media beat ups I have seen.
Facts are;
- There have always been fires in the Amazon at this time year - after all its a a forests and forests burn.
- This century there has been a decline trend in fires in Amazon
- Last year (2018) was the lowest year for fires in the Amazon
- This year, fires are above last year, but still just below average.
You have to ask; why are so many people telling alarmist lies, and for what purpose ?
So outrageous has been the misinformation campaign than even the BBC is now backtracking.
I wonder if ‘our’ ABC will do the same ?"

Women For Trump Ad Pulled From Facebook for Policy Violation
Earlier this week, Facebook took down several Trump campaign ads over alleged violations of their advertising policies. They must have been terrible, horribly offensive ads, right? Heck, even I thought they must have been tasteless ads that were reasonably taken down... and then I saw one of the offensive ads:

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.”

“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.”

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.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.

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.”

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.

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..."
