Why didn't Obama have Congress vote on Paris?

Trump pulls out of a non-binding climate agreement which other countries can ignore and that after decades of stealing from the U.S. tax payers, could maybe possibly reduce CO2 by a fraction of a percent, and the leftist media goes berserk. Bush pulled out of Kyoto, and the reduction of emissions was higher than the original goal. Obama had a majority in Congress, but still didn't let Congress vote. That's what happens with non-binding agreements. If he'd done it right, we might still be have Paris.

Mark Levin is not a favorite of mine; almost never watch him.  But occasionally he has something to say that's worth hearing.  Iron fisted tyrants are not "progressive."  It's all about control.

The hysteria begins

http://dailysignal.com/2017/06/01/4-reasons-trump-right-pull-paris-agreement/

 
So Trump has pulled out of Paris and Climatistas  are going crazy.  Bush pulled out of Kyoto and emissions dropped more than the original plan. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/04/05/usa-meets-kyoto-protocol-without-ever-embracing-it/

Prager gets tough on Republican Never-Trumpers

Dennis Prager is warning the never Trump Republicans that this is not a culture war, it's a civil war. And he's using Evergreen State, one of the most left of the left colleges, expulsion of white faculty and students as an example. As academe goes, so goes the nation, as he wrote in January.

". . . in the Second Civil war, one side has been doing nearly all the fighting. That is how it has been able to take over schools — from elementary schools, to high schools, to universities — and indoctrinate America’s young people; how it has taken over nearly all the news media; and how it has taken over entertainment media. The conservative side has lost on every one of these fronts because it has rarely fought back with anything near the ferocity with which the left fights."

And now he tells conservatives again that Obama promised to fundamentally transform the nation, but they still aren't listening.
 
 "Had any Never-Trump conservative been told, say in the summer of 2015, that a Republican would win the 2016 election and, within his first few months in office, appoint a conservative to the Supreme Court; begin the process of replacing ObamaCare; bomb Russia's ally, Assad, after he again used chemical weapons; appoint the most conservative cabinet in modern American history; begin undoing hysteria-based, economy-choking EPA regulations; label the Iranian regime "evil" in front of 50 Muslim heads of state; wear a yarmulke at the Western Wall; appoint a U.N. ambassador who regularly condemns the U.N. for its moral hypocrisy; restore the military budget; and work on lowering corporate tax rates, among other conservative achievements — that Never-Trump conservative would have been jumping for joy.

So, why aren't anti-Trump conservatives jumping for joy?"


Dennis Prager didn't support Trump at the beginning of the primaries, but knew what the alternative was, and got on board the Trump train once he was the nominee.  He's been very pleased with the outcome. http://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/dennis-prager-why-conservatives-still-attack-trump/

Are you still supporting Planned Parenthood?

Annual Report (2015-16) of Planned Parenthood shows abortions up, services down, and $77,000,000 profit. 328,348 abortions--PP is taking a larger portion of the abortion output. Drop of 50% in cancer screenings and prenatal care. Only 5 centers of 97 contacted offer prenatal care.

Why is our tax money funding this? They are dropping services and still taking our money! Because Democrats want it. And don't forget the sale of baby parts. Big money maker.

"Women's health" aka abortion was the #1 issue for Democrats, followed by racism, sexism, homophobia, and transgenderism, wrapped in climate change. And you wonder why Mrs. Clinton lost with nothing to run on except victimhood and hate?

"I take responsibility for every decision I made, but that's not why I lost,” she [Hillary Clinton] said at the annual Code Conference in California. “Anti-American forces are going after our economy and they are going after our unity as a nation.""

 But which party is so anti-American it is trying to destroy the nation by undoing the election and the next generation?

The Paris hoax and pressure on the President

Two dozen major U.S. companies—including Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, the Hartford, Levi Strauss, PG&E, and Morgan Stanley—sent an open letter to Trump published in The New York Times and other newspapers across the country, urging him to remain in the [climate] deal. Why? Because it's good for big corporations and kills the little guy trying to compete. They are already global entities, so why not come under control of the globalists behind climate change hysteria?

Is Evergreen the face of the future on college campuses?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fEAPcgxnyY

No, the worm isn't turning yet, but he's catching on. A progressive, Bernie supporter, liberal Jew and one who has stood up for racial equality and "social justice" all his life,  Professor Weinstein has the best take on what is happening, and he realizes where the left is going.  He says the white anarchists have taken over the black students (people of color) and now speak for them.  The anarchists have taken over the campus and  now have cowed the president and the campus police and Weinstein's only crime is that he is white. His life has been threatened and that of his wife, also a liberal. The college administration refuses to protect them, and simply warns them to stay away because of the danger.  And it's coming to a campus or classroom near you. If you are white, it won't matter if you believe in "women's reproductive health" causes, or hate Trump, or are tenured faculty with liberal beliefs, or even if you marched with a pink pussy hat on your head.  They are coming for YOU and the people who are supposed to support and protect you against the false stigma of racism have been silenced. No mainstream media outlet has reached out for him to tell his story--only Tucker Carlson (Fox) and Rubin.  Even the left wing media has been totally cowed. They have no angle--he's anti-racist, pro-gay, pro-abortion, pro-all the media's favorite memes.  How could they report this?

Kathy Griffin's apology for her death and mutilation of our president joke

What did you think of Kathy's apology? Not much, here. This would be an apology.
 "Hey there, this is Kathy. I apologize, folks. I went way over that mythical red line. I never did have a heart or soul, but until hate consumed me at least I did have intelligence and a sense of humor. I've lost that too, and I'm deeply sorry. My paycheck is REALLY sorry! But the only persons that I need to apologize to are Donald Trump and his family, and because I'm a Democrat, I just can't do that yet, or maybe never. However, with a little more schooling by my handlers, I'll work on it and get back to you."

Net neutrality, coupons and capitalism

 Many political conservatives or alternate voices in medicine, history and science are going to YouTube, pod-casts, alternative media to be heard, and to get around the blatant media bias filled with Trump hate and Climate scares. Every day I find new sources--some just awful (bad voice quality, bad IT) and some very good.  Meanwhile when I log in the search engine front pages lie about "net neutrality" and how we need it. No, THEY need it to keep the alternative viewpoints and start ups back. The "wild west" internet is what made these giants like Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc., and like all good capitalists who become Democrats in order to fight competition that made them great, they want to put up the barbed wire fences with the government's help. Lots of lobbyists make their livelihood with this.

Forty years ago when I was writing about the coupon scams, it was the same deal. The largest companies put out the most generous offers so they could block the newer products which couldn't afford that kind of advertising in the cut throat grocery business.. Customers fall for coupons every time--can't believe that companies don't exist to "save" you money. Voters are similar. Capitalism works when the big guy eats or stops the little guy. It's still better than government transfers, but you need to understand the game.

How a free media work today

Seth Rich case: Missing cache of thousands of e-mails, Clintons, DNC, dead body, no robbery, FBI stonewalled, strong hints from Wikileaks, DNC PR lawyer on the case, and silence from the broadcast and cable news. Russia interferring in 2016 election case: Thousands of rumors and anonymous leaks, DNC, Clintons, denial by Wikileaks, no evidence of a crime, and 24/7 reporting by the broadcast and cable news.

The blame Russia plan developed 24 hours after Hillary Clinton, the worst candidate they had, lost the election. But the plans to impeach Trump were developed before he became the nominee.  If every kooky idea about Russian hacking were proved false, they have 100 more waiting.

Just where would you go to find the truth on climate change, abortion, voter ID, Wikileaks, the DNC, medical insurance, the Syrian civil war, the payoff to Iran, the pull out in Iraq, Loretta Lynch's meeting with Bill Clinton, Benghazi, Hillary's health, etc. when all you have is Washington Post, AP, Reuters, New York Times, LA Times, Cleveland Plain Dealer, academic research, etc.?  They are all on the same team according to a recent study from Harvard.  On the other hand, I am forced to watch, listen and read the "other side" all the time, and I have to search out an alternative point of view and different angles.

Kathy Griffin's political porn--the severed head of Trump

How do you boost a flagging career?  You go the Colbert route and get more attention. Well, it certainly did keep people talking about her. In some ways it's a page out of Trump's play book. The media are doing it, comedians do it, celebrities do it. The more outrageous, the more attention, the bigger the bucks. Her career, like Colbert's, was on the sunset cruise schedule; now she'll be on top for awhile. But remember when Palin used the word target in her campaign, and the leftists/Democrats accused her of encouraging the killer in the Gabby Giffords case? All she did was use a word that actually is on the building of a retailer and yet the left made her guilty. What crimes associated with beheading and death will Griffin now be responsible for?

 Never mind. That's a rhetorical question; we all know Democrats are never guilty when accused of fake or real crimes; only Republicans. And they tend to fall down and play dead.  Even the latest sicko in Portland, Oregon--a Democrat and Bernie supporter. Trump is being blamed anyway.

 It's not like she doesn't have a track record--from 2010: "On her Bravo TV show Tuesday night, left-wing comedian Kathy Griffin referred to Sen. Scott Brown's two daughters as "prostitutes," and a CNN reporter apparently thought it hysterical." Dana Bush and Griffin yukked it up--Bush's husband had the decency to grimace. Sexism and child abuse are OK if done by women, right?" (My blog)

Calumny and detraction--what's the difference?

Today I was reading about the strange case of Fr. John Corapi, a Catholic priest I used to hear occasionally on the radio.  He was an excellent, challenging speaker, yet one day in 2011 he just disappeared.  Is his case calumny or detraction? Frankly, I don't know that I still understand the difference, and no one seems to know what has happened to Father Corapi.
"To put it in simple terms, calumny is the telling of a lie about someone, almost always with malicious intent—for instance, to damage his reputation. Detraction, on the other hand, is the telling of the truth about someone to a third party who has no right to that truth. Detraction is often done with malicious intent as well, but not always.

In more common terms, most of what we call gossip is detraction; most of what we call backbiting is calumny. The Catechism of the Catholic Church classifies detraction and calumny as "offenses against the truth" (and specifically, as the venerable Baltimore Catechism notes, both are violations of the Eighth Commandment). Both are sins, which can be either venial or mortal, depending on their intent and effects. Even when committed carelessly, without malicious intent, detraction and calumny can cause grave damage to the person being discussed, and the person guilty of detraction or calumny has an obligation to try to repair the damage done by his action."

The fuss over Russia

Watching the media lies and the leftist memes/posters on Facebook about Russia, I'm very aware I missed something important during the Obama years despite the fact I'm sort of a news junky. After all, Obama ridiculed Romney that Russia was any threat to the U.S. at all! Democrats were yucking it up after that debate. What did former president Obama do?  He apparently let something very bad happen. All this fuss can't be just a cover for a horrid candidate and botched election. Or is it? Obama committed so many crimes the media never reported or expanded or blew out of proportion. Wonder what else they are covering up?

Search engines also skewed to support Hillary Clinton

"So far we have found that between May and November 2016, search results displayed in response to a wide range of election-related search terms were, on average, biased in Mrs. Clinton’s favor in all 10 search-result positions," the study's authors write. "This bias could not be accounted for by the bias in the search terms themselves."

"The study even goes so far as to claim that without the bias in search results, the oft-cited lead Mrs. Clinton enjoyed in the popular vote would have been nearly eradicated. “[I]n articles published in February 2016 and thereafter, the lead author of the PNAS study predicted that a pro-Clinton bias in Google’s search results would, over time, shift at least 2.6 million votes to Clinton. She won the popular vote in the November election by 2,864,974 votes. Without the pro-Clinton bias in Google’s search results, her win margin in the popular vote might have been negligible.”

So you see, it pays to have an honest or at least a diverse media, and we don't have that today.  Even if you don't like Fox, or Breitbart or Town Hall, you should at least look at them.  They may have the key sentence your liberal/left is leaving out. Then you can return to CNN or ABC and catch on to what they are doing.
