President Trump has privately told multiple people, including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, that he plans to leave the Paris agreement on climate change, according to three sources with direct knowledge.

Publicly, Trump's position is that he has not made up his mind and when we asked the White House about these private comments, Director of Strategic Communications Hope Hicks said, "I think his tweet was clear. He will make a decision this week."

Poland Rejects EU Demand to Accept Islamic Refugees

Poland’s Prime Minister:
“We are not going to take part in the madness of the Brussel elite. We want to help people, not the political elites. I have a courage to say, and I have a courage to ask, all European political elites a question: Where are you headed, Europe? Rise from your knees and from your lethargy, or you will be crying over your children every day.

“If you cannot see this, if you cannot see that today terrorist danger is a fact that can hurt every country in Europe and you think that Poland should not defend itself, you are going hand in hand with those who point this weapon against Europe; against all of us.

“And it needs to be told clearly and directly: This is an attack on Europe, on our culture, our tradition. Why am I talking about that? That is a good question. Because all of us in this room have to answer the question, but also all people in Europe have to answer the question: Do we want politicians that claim that we have to get used to attacks and who describe terrorist attacks as ‘incidents,’ or do we want strong politicians that can see a danger and can fight against it efficiently?”

Another scientist here and you are correct. CO2, as it relates to temperature is nothing more than a “lagging indicator”.
See my tag line.

I guess you missed the news that Ivanka and Jared might be on their way out.

Those two really worry me. Leftists in the White House influencing policy? I don't want Trump to lose family support but ANYONE promoting BS leftism needs to be shut out of power before a single breath can escape their lips.

Now that being said I don't know all of the details nor do I trust anything we are fed by leftist media.

We'll see what is what soon enough I imagine.

they should change policy from Green Energy to a Green Earth policy. The goal would be to collapse the cost of energy so as to make it economic to bring water to any desert on the planet—the plants would then convert carbon dioxide to oxygen.

Yes, but so did the congressmen. I’m as big a Trumper as you’ll find but don’t get carried away with his mandate. People like Chaffetz, Mike Turner in OH, would “reluctantly” vote to impeach on “principle”.

I was impressed with Reince and how he handled the entire situation as Trump was\did become the nominee. He provided the support he needed to blunt the establishment R’s. Evidently, he is still executing in the best interests of his President and the country...

“note jared and ivanka..”

Like clockwork.

I get that you are worried sick that Ivanka and Jared Kushner will take over Trump’s mind - you bring it up constantly.

But I don’t think you need to worry about this - for one thing, Trump is nowhere near as weak as you think he is.

Also, from all accounts Trump’s family genuinely appear to respect and love the POTUS, even those whose views may differ here and there.

There is no evidence that they wish to obstruct or coopt the agenda that got him elected. There is every indication they want him to succeed and that means keeping his campaign promises, putting America first.

Finally, I do admit to the possibility (however unlikely) that some members of his family could become a problem. However, can’t we wait and cross that bridge when (if) we come to it?

I hope so. Saw another ‘scoop’ that we were staying in it, so we’ll see.

“Most of the “infighting” you’ve heard about is pure crap”

I agree. Every fake news story begins with something like “sources within the administration” - then, to justify the lack of substance, they’ve developed this meme about leakers. Then to explain that they construct a narrative of infighting and chaos.

So each fake story is a triple whammy

1) make up a negative rumor
2) attribute it to a leak
3) suggest his own people are against him

I think Trump has a great team and they’re doing fine - the media just won’t report anything good.

You sent me a link to a thread I’ve already read.

What’s your point?

Thanks Yhaos,

Look, Trump just tweeted the very same thing! Maybe he read my post (just kidding).

Funny how the left demands a strict separation of church and state....except when it comes to this idiotic gutter religion.

Ivanka, please tend to your wifely duties and stay out of this issue. We already know your opinion about the Paris Accord, so hush up for a spell.

Trump has told us what he means to do. Why he is hard to understand should be obvious,
