The National Climate Assessment’s Simple Hoax
PA Pundits - International at The National Climate Assessment’s Simple Hoax – PA Pundits – International - 4 minutes ago
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ The recently released National Climate Assessment (NCA4) is a perfect example of what I have called the one-word hoax (Will versus Might). This hoax is to say that extreme events that “might” happen (but are extremely unlikely) “will” happen. NCA4 systematically pushes this simple hoax. Many analysts have pointed out … Continue reading "The National Climate Assessment’s Simple Hoax"

*Kuwait Times/AFP:* *How have Yemen's rebels survived the Saudi-led onslaught?* DUBAI: Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners predicted a quick victory when they launched a military intervention in Yemen in 2015 to support the ousted government.

Ending The Catastrophe In Yemen?
*by Reese Erlich* I’m on a low-budget book tour, sleeping in spare bedrooms and munching granola in the kitchens of progressives all along the East Coast. Many had felt beaten down and pessimistic from two years of Trumpism. But I now sense some optimism and a renewed fighting spirit. Just look at the surprising battle in the Senate over US participation in the Yemen War. On Nov. 28, Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Mike Lee (R-UT) co-sponsored a War Powers Resolution calling for an end to U.S. participation in the conflict. Trump tried to quash the effort, but 63 Democratic an... more »

*Scott Sumner, The Hill:* *Our deficits may finally be coming home to roost* With a new Congress set to take office, the most recent projections have the U.S. budget deficit reaching nearly $1 trillion in 2019, or more than double the level of 2015. The deficit is a perennial topic of discussion for politicians, reporters, pundits and economists, yet many people have difficulty understanding why it’s a problem. Spending more than we take in sounds irresponsible, but how does the deficit actually impact the life of average Americans? The downside is especially hard to see when def... more »

Presumably Mueller is tracing the flow of Russian money into the Trumpist effort. Yesterday, Kenneth Vogel reported on foreign money from... more »

Al Sharpton Sells Rights to His Life Story. No,Really.
*NYP - *The Rev. Al Sharpton has found an eager buyer for the rights to his life story — his own charity. The National Action Network agreed to pay the activist preacher $531,000 according to the non-profit’s latest tax filing, which was obtained by The Post.

*Is this why the GOP lost?* The Republicans were shocked when the final vote count in CA-21, dealt them a 7th lost seat. No one really expected TJ Cox to beat David Valadao.
