The Framing of the AGW Fraud: Shakespeare vs IPCC

Geoff Brown at The Australian Climate Sceptics Blog - 4 minutes ago
Image: Who2 Shakespeare was very creative. He created many new words into the English language such as: - Accommodation; - Assassination: - Dexterously; - Dislocate; and - Submerged. He also created many phrases that we now assume are normal English usage. Creativity at its finest. The UNFCCC/IPCC are also very creative. They do NOT contribute to a) Either the English language; nor b) True science. However, the IPCC and its various agencies, NASA:GISS; HadleyCRUT were very creative in creating the scam of (AGW) man-made global warming. Here are some of Sha... more »

Dan McCready Will Make A Really Terrible Member Of Congress-- But If You Live In NC-09 You Should Probably Vote For Him Anyway

*2 dangerous fascists-- Mark Harris and the Pig Man* One of the lesser-of-two-evils races to watch tomorrow is in North Carolina's 9th district, which stretches from Fayetteville to Charlotte and follows the South Carolina border from the Lumberton area into the suburbs south of Charlotte. It's a very red district, with a PVI of R+8 and where Trump beat Hillary 54.4% to 42.8%. It's been over 5 decades since a Democrat represented the area in Congress. But what makes it notable this cycle is that Republican primary voters threw out their mainstream conservative congressman, Robert Pi... more »

White Wolf at White Wolf - 8 hours ago
Tex Gilligan, 74, was in good spirits as he recovered in a Texas hospital after being shot while out hunting in New Mexico. Seemingly alone in the woods, Gilligan at first thought he was the victim of a random sniper when he was shot in the back through the driver’s seat of his car, suffering three broken ribs, a punctured lung and a broken shoulder bone. There was some luck involved in his survival, as well. Normally Gilligan doesn’t take his cell phone hunting, but the area rains had made him extra cautious. But he was surprised when investigating police found that the perpetrato... more »

That's because they are, explains Daniel Mitchell in this guest post.* I’ve written many times about socialism, often a frustrating task because people's definition is often so slippery. *A new generation is increasingly under the illusion that socialism is simply "big government with lots of handouts financed by class-warfare taxation." Since that’s the common perception however, is that the definition we should use? The technical definition of socialism is government ownership of the means of production. This requires centra... more »

Failure Forecast: Sanctions Won't Work on Iran

John Glaser at Test Feed Using Fields - 8 hours ago

Trump excited—some might say incited—his political base by characterizing the caravan as an invasion and the refugees it carries as disease-infested gang members and terrorists of “unknown Middle Eastern” origin. But stories of hordes of barbarian invaders aren’t the only tall tales driving White House policy right... more »
