More than 500 scientists and professionals in climate and related fields have sent a “European Climate Declaration” to the Secretary-General of the United Nations asking for a long-overdue, high-level, open debate on climate change. Just as 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg addressed the U.N. Climate Action Summit in New York accusing world leaders of robbing her of her future, scientists were begging the United Nations to keep hysteria from obscuring facts. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific,” the declaration states. “Scientists should openly address the uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of...

New York state Attorney General Latitia James just told 16 different websites and gun makers to stop selling receiver blanks and gun-making kits to residents of New York. James' office put out the letter with some excerpts that are pretty damning for the Second Amendment: "Your website offers unfinished lower receivers that require simple milling in order to manufacture unregistered and unserialized assault weapons, despite the fact that such manufacture and possession are illegal in New York. Assault weapons are illegal in New York, and the sale and/or advertisement of these products violates New York law. I hereby demand that...

Tuesday, September 24, 2019 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-five percent (45%) disapprove.

[Site derives ZERO from “clicks.” Just “trying to get the message out.” Article is not here in entirety due to Images and Effects: ] - Democrats, Liberals, “Progressives,” Socialists, Communists, Suburban Housewives, and Canadian Supergirl have created politicized worlds that don’t exist. This ranting excursion into a twilight (zoned) area of their own creation appears to be a one-way drop for them. They seem to be lost souls flailing for a formula—any devious, formulaic plot — which they may think can ultimately beat Donald Trump in the coming election of 2020. Time, and again, they flog that bestiary of demonic...

Fox News announced that they do not plan on booking Michael Knowles moving forward after he called 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg "mentally ill" on the network Monday night. Knowles, who hosts The Michael Knowles Show for the Daily Wire, appeared on Fox News for a segment about climate change and Thunberg's activism. He was accompanied on the show by Chris Hahn, a former aide to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who took exception to Knowles' characterization of the teenager. Fox News no longer plans to bring Knowles on the network anymore, a spokesperson for the cable news station confirmed...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (Music in The Bible) Genesis 4 Cain and Abel 4 Adam[a] made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b] She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord...

It was in the national interest of the United States that Ukraine, under siege by our Russian nemesis, be given the full quantum of military aid extended by Congress. It was in the political interest of President Trump that Ukraine aggressively investigate credible allegations of corruption and conflict-of-interest against former Vice President Joe Biden, a favorite among the Democratic candidates seeking to run against Trump in 2020. The national interests of the United States and the political interests of the president are not the same thing. If President Trump conflated them in his discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, that...

Climate change activist Greta Thunberg's stare a Donald Trump as he entered the UN has become a social media meme. The Swedish eco-warrior addressed the United Nations Climate Summit in New York on Monday telling delegates 'you have stolen my dreams and my childhood'. The schoolgirl was seen at the UN headquarters yesterday morning with an enraged expression on her face as President Trump upstaged her entrance by walking in flanked by news reporters. She could be seen fiercely staring at the US president as he walked by and into the UN General Assembly. Social media instantly exploded with memes...

Cokie Roberts – the award-winning journalist and author – died a few days ago of complications from breast cancer. I don’t wish that death upon anyone, and having had several breast cancer scares of my own, and having gone through the experience with my mother, I am more than upset that we still haven’t kicked this disease’s ass. Journalist Linda Ellerbee is also upset. She’s upset that she and Cokie Roberts came up together in the business, were both the same age when Roberts passed, and both got breast cancer. Ellerbee has lost her friend to this disease, so I...

President Trump was in New York City on Monday for United Nations General Assembly week. President Trump led a meeting on religious freedom and met with several world leaders including the leaders of Egypt and Pakistan. During questions and answers with the media Trump referred to CNN’s Chris Cuomo as Fredo. President Trump: “I don’t watch CNN because it is fake news. But I watched Rudy take apart Fredo. Fredo’s performance was incompetent. The press doesn’t give him credit, because they take little tiny snippets wherever Rudy was a little bit –if he mispronounces a word they’ll show that, they...

The left has gone ballistic over criticism that teen climate-change activist Greta Thunberg resembles some of the Nazi propaganda that was used to turn the world against Jews more than half a century ago. The Swedish 16-year-old, who is skipping school for a year to to protest climate change, charged in a speech at the United Nations on Monday that the adults in the room were stealing her dreams and her childhood. "People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing," she claimed. "We are in the beginning of a mass extinction." Author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza noted her...

Inspired by a Sporting Rifle carried by Custer, a black powder enthusiast rebuilds his model. Remington's No. 1 Sporting Rifle was introduced around 1868. That was a rather quiet introduction and this sporter was not identified or named as such until 1874. The No. 1 Sporting Rifles were last shown in a Remington catalog in 1889 with a total production of under an estimated 13,000 rifles. Remington was simply concentrating a lot more on filling military orders from several countries, and making sporting rifles was secondary. When the Remington sporting rifles first appeared, they were made using military receivers which...

Film director Rob Reiner has claimed that President Donald Trump “commits crimes on a daily basis” and is planning to accept the help of Russia in order him “steal” next year’s presidential election. In one of his trademark Twitter rants, Reiner warned that America’s Founding Fathers had “never anticipated” a president like Donald Trump. “Our founding fathers never anticipated what we’re facing. A President who commits crimes on a daily basis,” the Princess Bride director said. “He was not held accountable for a foreign country helping him steal the last election. So he’s at it again. History will judge where...

As Tropical Storm Karen approached Puerto Rico this morning (or late last night), a 6.0 earthquake occurred Northwest of Puerto Rico along with a 5.1 quake. At the time of the quake(s), Tropical Storm Karen was South East of Puerto Rico. But there is one more important detail: The quake happened between a major fault line (shown in red above the earthquake if you go to the USGS link below...) and Puerto Rico. And the earthquake was much closer to the fault line than to Tropical Storm Karen. Link to USGS Map of Quake Map of most recent quakes (must...

A man holding his 5-year-old daughter jumped onto subway tracks in the Bronx during Monday's morning rush, killing himself but thankfully only leaving the child with minor injuries, police said. The man had the girl cradled in one arm when he jumped in front of the train as it rounded a curve and slowed at the Kingsbridge Road station just before 8 a.m., police said. The man, identified as Fernando Balbuena, was killed by the Manhattan-bound train — but the girl lived, getting trapped underneath. With the help of two strangers, the little girl crawled her way to safety. One...

Greta Thunberg is just a scared child, though after her users drop her she should be put on long term suicide watch. But there is a whole religion of 12 million people who have been deliberately inculcated in fearfulness from childhood. It seems it has been drilled into them that little Pope Francis is going to combine with the heads of the Protestant and Orthodox Churches--in reality, they hardly know they exist--and conduct a mass pogrom of beheading because this group won't stop a certain benign religious practice.

A top Democratic official in Alabama has said that one of his party's U.S. senators in the state "is a racist" and accused him of marginalizing black party members and wanting them "to pick the cotton" but not "manage the plantation." The Democratic National Committee's Black Caucus Vice Chairman Randy Kelley, who is black, blasted Doug Jones, who is white, and his allies in the DNC for pressuring African Americans to increase the representation of Hispanic, Asian, youth, gay, and disabled party members in a new "Diversity Caucus," a move he argues would reduce the influence of black Democrats. Kelley...
