The climate change that isn’t

Global Warming (TM) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, is now officially nevermind.

“The climate-research establishment has finally admitted openly what skeptic scientists have been saying for nearly a decade: Global warming has stopped since shortly before this century began.”

As for the refurbished moniker, Climate Change, it’s been downsized, too.

“…the climate-research establishment…have made their predicament worse by implying that man-made climate change is so slow and tentative that it can be easily overwhelmed by natural variation in temperature—a possibility that they had previously all but ruled out.”

So, tell us again, Barry, why do us flat-earthers have to give up cheap coal-fired electricity so your EPA can declare carbon dioxide a pollutant? The science obviously isn’t settled.

UPDATE:  Even the first species said to be extinct because of GW/CC isn’t really, after all.

Those stolen airliners

Eleven airliners stolen from Libya’s international airport in Tripoli by Islamist militias are supposed to be our worry of the month—for next week’s 13th anniversary of you know what.

Except, as I recall, it took many months to train the eight pilots who suicided on 9/11 in New York, D.C. and Pennsylvania and all of them had advanced college degrees. I doubt these raggedy militias have eight baggage handlers willing to kill themselves. But time will tell, of course.

The Dems phony “rape epidemic”

Of course you’d have to be awfully uneducated or just plain stupid to pay attention to anything Joey Hairplugs had to say. But this blather about female college students enduring a rape epidemic is not only wrong, it’s egregiously wrong.. The incidence of rape has been on a downward plunge since 1992.

But, then, egregiously wrong is a good definition of Joey, the career pol and Vietnam War draft dodger, who is the only reason most Republicans don’t want to impeach Wormtongue. Because then Joey would become president. Gag.

Climate warriors at play

MEANWHILE

Wormtongue is doing his part, planning another end-run around Congress to sign a UN treaty on Global Warming (TM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party.

The latest from our robed rulers

A federal district judge has thrown out a key provision of the state’s new law regulating abortion clinics. It seems that health & safety isn’t important where killing the unborn is concerned.

“The law would require abortion facilities in Texas to meet hospital-level operating standards, which supporters say will protect women’s health. Clinics called it a backdoor effort to outlaw abortions…”

The state, of course, will appeal the decision. A previous reversal was overturned and that part of the law upheld. It’s a pity that states have to jump through these legal hoops. But that’s the situation we have: These unelected robed rulers of ours call the shots. And they call this democracy? Very funny.

Meanwhile, the country’s birth and fertility rates (the latter said to be more accurate) have fallen below replacement. The birth measure is below even Russia’s, which is also below replacement, and the declining American fertility measure is now converging with the low Russian one.

And, yes, those rates take into account the illegal Hispanics coming here.

Gazastanians slain by falling bullets

And they weren’t even Israeli bullets! Nope.

They were from the usual physics-challenged, masked IslamoNazis firing their AK-47s into the air. Disregarding Newton, as always, they forgot that what goes up must come down.

This time the brilliant Gazastanians were celebrating their great victory over the Zionist entity. Result: 2 killed, 25 wounded.

I’m sure if the New York Times editors work on it, however, they can figure out a way to blame it all on Israel, and all their adoring acolytes from coast to coast will page 1 the story.

Why it’s wrong to say “the” Palestinians

“#13 – ‘The Palestinians:’ The United Nations’ 1947 partition resolution called Palestine’s Arabs and Jews ‘the two Palestinian peoples.’ Nothing is more self-delegitimizing and counter-productive to achieving peace based on Arab recognition of Jews’ right to be there, than that Jews should go around calling Palestinian Arabs “The Palestinians.” They have no distinguishing language, religion, or culture from neighboring Arabs, and have never been sovereign in Palestine, whereas the Jews, with a presence stretching back three millennia, have had three states there, all Jerusalem-based. Most Palestinian Arabs cannot trace their own lineage to the land back more than 4 generations.”

Ready to be mind-boggled? Thanks to the persistent laziness of the Democrat media and its sheep-herd mentality, various anti-Israel and, increasingly, anti-Semitic groups, the other twelve points probably will surprise you as well.

Illuminate yourself.
