Trump Tower in late 2018?

Jane Burgermeister at Eugenics and pandemics - 12 hours ago
The Syrian raid was so perfectly carried out, with such precision, that the only way the Fake News Media could demean was by my use of the term “Mission Accomplished.” I knew they would seize on this but felt it is such a great Military term, it should be brought back. Use often! Donald Trump […]

Official narrative falls apart. Proof of chlorine attack are videos showing patients being doused by medical personnel with water, but water weaponizes chlorine, turns it into deadly acid and mustard gas base. Did the water dousing in hospital kill real people?

Jane Burgermeister at Eugenics and pandemics - 12 hours ago
The fact that water was used to douse the patients of an alleged chlorine chemical attack in Syria is yet more evidence that the attack was a false flag. http://english.alarabiya.net/en/features/2017/04/04/Syrians-relive-the-horror-We-poured-water-on-them-what-were-supposed-to-do-.html Medical personnel with even rudimentary knowledge surely know that adding water to chlorine turns it into hydrochloric acid, the basis of mustard gas, a really […]

Donald Trump vomits forth another early morning Twitter tantrum. Target: James Comey.

Gryphen at The Immoral Minority - 12 hours ago
Unbelievably, James Comey states that Polls, where Crooked Hillary was leading, were a factor in the handling (stupidly) of the Clinton Email probe. In other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. Slimeball! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 15, 2018 Yes, the best way to secure a job with a new President is to announce there is an open investigation against them a week before the election.

Assessing Robert Mueller

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 13 hours ago
*Robert Mueller: Into The Swamp by Nancy Ohanian* *-by Skip Kaltenheuser* I don’t want to genuflect to Robert Mueller as if his sainthood is imminent. Plenty of others are already busy at that task. Separating him from his legal environment is a challenge, as it’s difficult to ignore a stench floating above many aspects of the US Dept. of Justice. These include ethics matters and a grotesque lack of accountability in an agency where accountability ought to be the most prominent of any agency in government. Indeed, DOJ’s consistency in insulating Wall Street from real consequences f... more »

Syria, Tom Walkom writes, has become the most dangerous place on earth. It is now the centre of several intersecting rivalries. Consider what has happened since the war began seven years ago: The Syrian conflict began seven years ago as a popular rebellion against a dictatorial regime. It soon became a civil war with religious overtones before morphing into a series of proxy wars. Saudi Arabia and its allies funded Sunni militias (some of them terrorist) fighting Assad. The U.S. tried, with little success, to find moderate rebel groups that it could arm and fund. Kurdish militia... more »

*Two CO2 climate change myths* CO2 does not “trap heat” in the atmosphere and the increase in CO2 is not a buildup of our emissions. In fact these are two pseudoscientific myths that appear frequently in alarmist press reports and teaching materials. Neither one is true. The science is quite different. It is actually pretty complex, which is why the climate change science is so widely debated. No heat is trapped by CO2 in the air CO2 both adds heat to the atmosphere and removes it, so it certainly does not trap it there. CO2 is a secondary greenhouse gas (GHG), with water vapor ... more »

Speaking as a Christian, I know that tolerance is not a Biblical value, nor is our current worship of the idols of diversity, which simply has come to mean protecting the minority at the expense of the majority, denying millions their First Amendment rights.

Brexit: 'People's vote' campaign group launched per BBC News

Not a sheep at Not a sheep - 19 hours ago
The BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43774200 on yet another attempt to stop the democratic will of the people on the keep voting until you give the correct answer basis. The BBC quote a Sir, no less: 'Sir Patrick told the BBC's Andrew Marr show that the "terms and conditions" of Brexit were "quite unlike" how they were presented during the 2016 referendum campaign.' The Sir is an actor not an expert and I'd like to know how the "terms and conditions" of Brexit differ, but this is about emotion not facts.

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 19 hours ago
Some songs have become famous as much for the inclusion of a particular instrument as for the quality of the composition, vocals, performers, etc. The addition of an out-of-the-ordinary instrument for the genre can (but doesn't always) help to transform the song into something transcending its peers, making it stand out from the pack. When it works, it can become iconic, as it did with the four examples I'd like to offer this morning. The first is "Norwegian Wood (This Bird has Flown)" from The Beatles, featuring the sitar.
