Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 4 hours ago
Carlson's gotta Carlson: On Fox News Tuesday night, Tucker Carlson did not appear to be pleased with the guilty verdict against former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. Indeed, according to Carlson, the jury was tainted by fear of riots if they did not convict, and the public outpouring of support for Floyd amounts to an "attack on civilization." Every night Carlson is on the air is like this, of course. And as we've been told many times, there's nothing we can do about it, because boycotting his advertisers doesn't work. ... there is no evidence that...

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | April 20, 2021 James Hansen is often debited with having stirred up so much alarm with his notorious 1988 prediction of runaway global warming in front of the U.S. Senate that IPeCaC was hastily founded later that year, so as to Save The Planet.

YouGov gave the Tories a 14-point lead heading in to last weekend. Savanta grant them a nine point advantage, and Redfield posted a double-digit lead for Boris Johnson. But don't worry, we're told. It's all because of the vaccine bounce. If you say so, guv. The certitude the leadership on the right track is confirmed by their current positioning.

*Morgan Wirthlin* *Russia, Europe* If the United States is really done “rolling over” in the face of Russian aggression as Biden claims, symbolic sanctions are insufficient. If President Joe Biden is serious about deterring Vladimir Putin, he must sanction the Nordstream 2 pipeline. Russia has amassed 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border, which is the “highest military deployment of the Russian army on Ukrainian borders ever,” according to Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy chief. This deployment is a first test of the Biden administration’s resolve to obstruc...
