U.S. presidential elections facing disturbing new threat: 'Faithless electors' - WND
U.S. presidential elections facing disturbing new threat: 'Faithless electors' - WND:
What if political parties need only to lobby members of the Electoral College to vote for a certain candidate, instead of accepting the voters' choice?
A ruling by the 10th Circuit Court in favor of a "faithless elector" who did not abide by Colorado law and vote for the candidate chosen by the majority in his state has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
A friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Bopp Law Firm on behalf of the American Uniform Law Commission argues for overturning the ruling.

An Antifa Member Tries to Block a Car and Assault Someone, It Doesn't Go Well (Seriously)
An Antifa Member Tries to Block a Car and Assault Someone, It Doesn't Go Well (Seriously)
"The tactic of protestors, specially those tied to Antifa and the climate change movement, blocking roadways is becoming more and more common.
...This stuff just needs to stop.
We can’t co-exist if people can’t have basic respect for other’s space, time, and livelihoods."
"The tactic of protestors, specially those tied to Antifa and the climate change movement, blocking roadways is becoming more and more common.
...Normal people with jobs and responsibilities are getting tired of it.
...Yesterday, a video surfaced of an Antifa protestor trying to block an SUV. The protestor has some kind of weapon in his hand (which you’ll see later clearly) an is wearing a black mask and backup (the typical getup).
Then this happens.
(WARNING: Language and fist fighting in the video)
Antifa/Extinction Rebellion protester tries to block a street and then starts vandalizing a man's SUV.
The man loses it and it doesn't end well for the protester.
Normal hardworking people have had enough of these left-wing virtue-signalling eco-terrorists#DontBlockRoads
..The broader point here is that this has to stop. People can have their political issues and believe deeply in them.
That doesn’t give them a right to block roads and attempt to assault people. ...This stuff just needs to stop.
We can’t co-exist if people can’t have basic respect for other’s space, time, and livelihoods."

Why Apocalyptic Claims About Climate Change Are Wrong
Why Apocalyptic Claims About Climate Change Are Wrong
"Environmental journalists and advocates have in recent weeks made a number of apocalyptic predictions about the impact of climate change.
Bill McKibben suggested climate-driven fires in Australia had made koalas “functionally extinct.” Extinction Rebellion said “Billions will die” and “Life on Earth is dying.”
Vice claimed the “collapse of civilization may have already begun.”
Few have underscored the threat more than student climate activist Greta Thunberg and Green New Deal sponsor Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The latter said, “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change.”
Says Thunberg in her new book, “Around 2030 we will be in a position to set off an irreversible chain reaction beyond human control that will lead to the end of our civilization as we know it.”
Apocalyptic statements like these have real-world impacts.
In September, a group of British psychologists said children are increasingly suffering from anxiety from the frightening discourse around climate change.
...Journalists and activists alike have an obligation to describe environmental problems honestly and accurately, even if they fear doing so will reduce their news value or salience with the public.
There is good evidence that the catastrophist framing of climate change is self-defeating because it alienates and polarizes many people.
And exaggerating climate change risks distracting us from other important issues including ones we might have more near-term control over..."

Election Fraud on a National Scale? - American Thinker
Election Fraud on a National Scale? - American Thinker
"Dallas patriots Kevin Freeman, host of the Economic War Room on BlazeTV and Russ Ramsland, a voter fraud and election expert, have released detailed findings from a cyber/forensic investigation into election fraud utilizing compromised voting machines in 2018 (and quite probably, in the governor’s race in 2019 in Kentucky).
In summary terms, Freeman’s “Episode #70” reveals that
(1) security protections in voting machines were disabled,
(2) penetration and manipulation of actual vote tabulations was and is possible, and
(3) evidence already exists that votes were surreptitiously, electronically manipulated to change election results.
This is the 21st century version of Stalin’s ruthless observation, “it’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”
Only today’s Stalins can do it all by online penetration of unsecure ‘voting machines’ to count and alter votes, and leave almost no IT fingerprints..."

"Exposing the panic behind today's climate panic"-----Air-Climate-Energy
Air-Climate-Energy--Howard Brady shared a link.
"Climategate is one of the most misunderstood scientific scandals in history.
This is not exactly surprising.
What transpired and its ramifications require several steps of thought to understand, not lending itself easily to a simple one or two beat explanation.
This is not exactly surprising.
What transpired and its ramifications require several steps of thought to understand, not lending itself easily to a simple one or two beat explanation.
This simple animation shows how the lines on the 'Hide the Decline' graph were transposed from their original studies, before ultimately being manhandled.
All done in order to give that false narrative of unprecedented rising temperatures in modern times.
This animation is part of a developing series exposing the panic behind today's climate panic, called Dante's Climate Inferno.
The style of this series is simple, but effective, supporting a narrative that has been expertly prepared and weaved together to cut straight to the heart of the climate debate, past all the fuzzy and emotional talking points that now characterise it..."
