Keep it civil and report any spam/inappropriate comments.
Thanks, and to all our American visitors: have a happy Fourth of July!

Reported this morning (20190708) – Starbucks is apologizing to six law enforcement officers. Seems they were in a Starbucks in uniform, and another customer complained about feeling “uncomfortable”. The police were ‘asked to leave’
Just what the ‘bleeping blap’ is this country coming to?…..
Democracy is vulnerable when there is no viable alternative to those in power.
This is my personal list of climatologists, physicists, and Phd. scientists from a dozen other fields who have either written books or presented studies or have written articles questioning CAGW. In addition, there is a second list of economists, statisticians, science historians, science writers and environmentalists who’ve done the same. This list has accumulated over the past 7 years. Hope some folks will find it useful and/or encouraging……

Aaron Wildavsky But is it True? Political Scientist
In the Democrats debate Bernie claims the earth has 12 years to stop climate change .
Didn’t he get the memo ? AOC said she was joking .
Are these people trying to hand it to Trump ? Open borders ? All hands up .
Never seen a bigger collection of fruit cakes . Spartacus , a fake American Indian , an open commie , and the rest all hard left .
When they hit 25 % in the polls guess who will be brought in to save the day ?
Mighty Mouse?
Once again
much ado about
Colonoscopy KrapperPrick
How is significance assigned to an
insignificant JERK ?
Rebel without a clue.
If people did not exist
Gov’t would not exist
Gov’t can only exist
If people create it
Somehow the leftist jerks have become convinced
that people MUST serve gov’t
When it obviously must be the exact opposite !
THIS
in and of itself
is the FATAL flaw of
ALL leftist thought .
I want to talk about deceptive use of the combined use of two key words, climate change.
I read a lot of articles daily, and climate change is now a common description of the “science mystery” needing a catch all type description. It is masking a true pollution issue catastrophic to fish and eco-systems, and its not from power plant emissions, but is born from waste water treatment plants that do not remove the drugs and chemicals they are dumping in every river system of the civilized world. Pharmaceuticals are in our fish. Cocaine is also. Its only the beginning. These politicians that scream about science like Sheldon Whitehouse does with only engo talking points, they are lying to the people and are destroying nature. In the seventies, a friend brought me a bushel of native Great Bay oysters, and said they were getting scarce, like eel grass, and they didn’t know why. A couple of decades pass and an outdoor writer described what had been happening to the eco system that has around nine plants in this river system. dying eel grass, no oysters, and that was without power plant emissions. How hoodwinked are we going to allow these people to mask the real source of damage, the morning flush of damned near everyone. Thank you for letting me have my say, today. http://fisherynation.com/?s=waste+water+treatment+plant
God Bless America!
The strong survive in nature.
Think, Man.
OK, where does wildlife dump its business?
Does wildlife ingest cancer drugs, and estrogens, and shit them back into nature where they don’t belong? Your response proves were screwed.
They’ll have us all living a vast contoroled underground city like in the movie LOGAN’S RUN where no one is allow to live over the are of 30 and people of that age are Terminated in something they call RENEWAL or hunted down by the SANDMEN of which was once a Sandman who escapes to the outside world comes across Washington D.C. and meet a old man living with hundreds of cats in the Capital Building
One of things the Fourth of July is about is freedom. Yet, we live in a time where many freedoms have been lost and others are under serious attack. As far as the climate change fraud, the freedoms under attack are the ability to choose what transportation we use, what types of energy we use, the temperature we keep on home at, the pets we own, and what food we eat. The freedom of speech has in a large part been lost in that those who speak against the fraud are persecuted. The reason for freedom of the press has been lost because we don’t have a variety of opinions being expressed but all are echoing the same politically correct view on climate change and many other issues. It is against federal regulations for a real-estate agent to tell clients what the local school districts are like. Freedom of speech doesn’t exist in many universities with “safe zones” where students are shielded from hearing view points that are not politically correct. In many locations where there is not an extreme fire danger fireworks are illegal. We have lost many of the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment. The most aggressive attack on this freedom are the very guns that are the most effective in defending freedom.
The media are more than “echoing”. They are creating and coordinating. They are the “news”.
