Earth Day: Not a Single Environmental Prediction of the Last 50 Years Has Come True | Watts Up With That?--Nicolas Loris, Bangor Daily News

...“By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate … that there won’t be any more crude oil,” ecologist Kenneth Watt warned around the time of the first Earth Day event. 

“You’ll drive up to the pump and say, ‘Fill ’er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, ‘I am very sorry, there isn’t any.’

Watt also warned of global cooling and nitrogen buildup rendering all of the planet’s land unusable..."

Report: Video from Camera Outside Epstein's Prison Cell is Unusable

Report: Video from Camera Outside Epstein's Prison Cell is Unusable:

Video from at least one security camera outside of Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan prison cell, where the convicted pedophile was found dead as a result of hanging according to authorities, was reportedly unusable to investigators.
The camera with unusable footage was situated in the hallway near Epstein’s cell, according to the Washington Post. The newspaper said a second camera captured clearer footage. The reason for the filming discrepancies between the two cameras is unclear at this time.

"Progressives’ ghoulish glee over the death of an old man turned into barely constrained panic when, later that day, it was revealed that their heroine Ruth Bader Ginsberg was just treated for pancreatic cancer yet again. 
Their disgraceful joy at David Koch’s passing was yet another reminder of the harsh truth that leftists want you dead or enslaved. 
Koch’s sin was that he disagreed with liberals (though, in important ways, also with conservatives). 
For that, these cretins danced around like idiots celebrating his succumbing. 
And they’ll celebrate when you die too. 
Always believe people who tell you they hate you and want you dead.
Oh, and never disarm.
Of course, RBG is eager to disarm you, and she would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those meddling Supreme Court kids who actually read Second Amendment. 
...But she’s very old and she’s very sick and facing that reality is not the same as high-fiving it. 
...She just keeps going and going and going, but someday she’s going to run out of juice and join her pal Antonin Scalia on the bench in the great beyond, and if that happens with Trump in the White House, ho boy.
You can relive the shameful saga of the Brett Kavanaugh hearings in Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino’s remarkable Justice on Trial. 
What will happen next time will pale in comparison. 
If you thought you saw frothy, mouth-foaming insanity last time -- just you wait..."

#1 This day 1982-----Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra (1982)

You've been warned!-----‘I’m Radioactive’ – Reason.com

‘I’m Radioactive’ – Reason.com
"Journalist Jonathan Kaiman is one of the least famous, least powerful men to be brought down by the #MeToo movement. 
A year later, the fallout continues. 
Until the spring of 2018, Jonathan Kaiman was the Beijing bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times. Today he is living at the home of his parents in Phoenix under conditions he describes as a form of psychological house arrest. 
There are no visitors, and his few remaining friends rarely call. 
He feels unable to make new ones, because he fears the reaction of anyone who Googles him. 
He's 32, unemployed, and perhaps unemployable—"I'm radioactive," as he puts it. 
And he's still trying to find the right combination of psychotropic medication to quell the recurrent thought that ending his life may be the best way out.
...Before it all fell apart, Kaiman's life was a success story. 
After graduation from Vassar, he received a Fulbright scholarship to study in China. 
He stayed on, became fluent in Mandarin, and, starting as a freelancer, worked his way up the journalism ranks.
...Given the millennia during which women have had to take male abuse and suffer under institutionalized denial of and indifference to it, it is perhaps understandable that there is a willingness to shrug off the prospect that some unfairly accused men will become roadkill on the way to a more equitable future. 
A common feminist dictum holds there are no innocent men, as per the slogans #YesAllMen and #KillAllMen. 
We are now in a time when a sexual encounter can be recast in a malevolent light, no matter whether the participants all appeared to consider it consensual at the time and no matter how long ago it took place. 
Looking back, it can be even harder—perhaps impossible— to know what really happened in a private sexual encounter..."

JOURNALISTS ARE HAVING A MELTDOWN OVER JOURNALISM BEING DONE TO THEM

Instapundit Blog Archive JOURNALISTS ARE HAVING A MELTDOWN OVER JOURNALISM BEING DONE TO THEM:

"The New York Times publisher A. G. Sulzberger said in a statement to the paper of record’s staff that such tactics were taking the president’s campaign against a free press to a new level.
“The goal of this campaign is clearly to intimidate journalists from doing their job, which includes serving as a check on power and exposing wrongdoing when it occurs. The Times will not be intimidated or silenced.”
...National media outlets have harassed countless other private individuals who support the president on social media or create memes. Yet publications such as the New York Times become outraged when conservatives point out that their own employees spew virulent, racist, and antisemitic views on social media — and remain employed...

Ace of Spades tried to warn the MSM in November of 2016, a week after Trump won, that the backlash was coming. 
“You dominate this culture. 
You made the rules. 
You now get to live in the savage world you made brick-by-brick, media…The media loves to ride the tiger of Mob Hatred when that tiger is devouring a plebeian. 
Well, sometimes the tiger bucks, old chaps.”--Posted by Ed Driscoll"

Wall Street pundits throw a big curve

Wall Street pundits throw a big curve
"...Here’s the rub: Yield curve inversion held meaningful merit prior to the financial crisis, when the Fed wasn’t the biggest player in the US bond markets. 
But that has changed.
Today the yield curve could be very misleading for two major reasons.

• In Germany and other European countries, interest rates are substantially negative, hence there is a massive influx of European money pouring into our Treasury market.
• The other giant distortion is the Fed’s reinvesting of proceeds from maturing bonds back into the market instead of reducing its massive $4 trillion balance sheet.

That creates an additional abnormal and massively outsized buyer depressing five- to 10-year bond rates.
The pundits are foolish for not examining the weight of these two massive variables.
It seems the most relevant inversion may be what’s going on inside the minds of the inept Wall Street economists..."
