Hot Enough for Ya?

Hot Enough for Ya?

Everyone talks about the hellish hot weather but only liberals know what ‘s causing it: climate change, aka global warming, of course!




The 3,215 record daily high temps set in the month of June and 4,500 new heat records during the last 30 days must incontrovertibly prove Planet Earth is roasting almost to the boiling point.



And, maybe not.



The fact is, those record highs were all set in the U.S. while the rest of the northern hemisphere is just experiencing summertime. It would seem Mother Nature has it in for America since she is wreaking heat havoc only on us.



In almost unprecedented numbers, Mom Nature has caused wildfires, droughts, tornados, and floods, everything but hordes of locusts in the United States–and she has yet to unleash the brunt of her hurricane season!



As Jonathan Overpeck gloated, “This is what global warming looks like at the regional or personal level.”



That professor of geosciences and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona breathlessly elaborated, ”The extra heat increases the odds of worse heat waves, droughts, storms and wildfire. This is certainly what I and many other climate scientists have been warning about” and the head honcho of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, Kevin Trenberth, dutifully chimed in by claiming he had predicted the same disasters.

So there, you climate-change-naysaying nitwits!



The chief problem with Overpeck’s, Trenberth’s and all the other “expert” observations that Earthlings are doomed to being toasted, fried, and fricaseed is that they are as wrong in their doomsaying assessments as their fellow phonies who believed a mere few decades ago that we would soon be encased in blocks of ice when global cooling and a new Ice Age enveloped the planet.



Science magazine, Science Digest and a host of other seemingly-reputable publications and scientists were then warning of ”extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation,” shorter growing seasons, cooling oceans and similar catastrophic events.



It never happened, anymore than polar bears starving and stop making baby polar bears, anymore than melting glaciers will end the Alaskan tourist trade, anymore than rising seas will flood our front yards, etc. will come to pass in the near future.



Those apocalyptic visions could be realized down the road as the Earth and our sun do what they’ve been doing for eons but they won’t be the fault of mankind’s activities–unless we assume cave people built filthy, carbon dioxide-spewing, coal-fired power plants we don’t know about and accept the hypothesis that dinosaur farts polluted the atmosphere.



Times, and weather, have changed radically as they always do and ultra-resilient climatologists have shown they can switch sides faster than Chief Justice John Roberts.



Fast forward to the eighties and beyond. Now, due to historically-normal, cyclical climate changes, the fear-mongerers have amazingly converted their baseless freezing scam into a preposterous warming hoax.



Gone are the days when Hollywood cashed in on the orchestrated freezing panic and politicians were elected based on pledges to save their constituents from wearing overcoats in August.



Those days have been supplanted by Tinseltown producing ridiculous movies such as “The Day After Tomorrow” which senselessly theorized that global warming will result in global freezing and Democrat pols warning that North American women had better vote for Obama or be prepared to wear bikinis in January. . .

Shockers!

Shockers!

Most Americans have been shocked at one time or another. I still recall having my brains scrambled when I was a pre-teen and made the mistake of touching the stove and an ungrounded steam iron at the same time, but that was a different kind of shock.




Our elders were shocked by the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. We all were shaken by the events in New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11th, 2001.



In between, we experienced all types of minor and major emotional upheavals although not with the regularity with which they have occurred recently.



That is, if we even recognize them as shocking anymore since Americans seem to have become inured to shocks because of their frequency.



True, one man’s startling events are routine to others.



The Time cover of a young mother nursing her four year old and another picture of two uniformed, military moms nursing their infants in public struck many as shockingly inappropriate even though nursing is a completely natural function. Incidents of cannibalism in Florida and Maryland are totally unnatural and all but universally considered shocking.



Happenings causing reactions of revulsion and utter disbelief are regarded by some others as things that come with the human territory, simplistically acceptable because “they are what they are.”



For example, abortion has become so common, so ordinary, it is widely accepted since the mother or a relative or someone they know has aborted a pre-born baby. In fact, with over 50,000,000 abortions committed in the United States since 1973, the “procedure” has become almost commonplace and evokes little reaction from the majority of Americans and less attention from lawmakers.



Lack of concern for terminating an innocent, human life. . .

The Latest United Nations' Absurdity

The Latest United Nations' Absurdity

The absurd, the ridiculously nonsensical, is obviously a staple of absurdist fiction, in the Theater of the Absurd, and in many political speeches. Absurdity, however, is absurdly out of place when it emanates from supposedly reputable international bodies.




The United Nations has long been a prime example of the ridiculous to many Americans who regard that alleged “last, best hope for humanity” as an opulent haven for Third Worlders intent on compensating themselves for their lack of wealth, power, and prestige by stripping the USA and the West of theirs.



Following a fact-finding investigation and tour, a senior U.N. official concluded there is only one clear-cut path to “reconciliation” with America’s Indian population, a reconciliation necessitated by centuries of ”subordination and domination of indigenous peoples in that country.”



A radical activist with the lofty title, U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Indigenous Peoples, James Anaya met with various Native American tribal leaders as well as White House big wigs before arriving at his condemnation of America’s “oppressive” history and his plan for rectifying it.



Anaya will soon officially propose his scheme to his U.N. bosses. It essentially boils down to America paying reparations for its wrongdoing.



Anaya specifically focused on returning the South Dakota Black Hills, home to the revered Mount Rushmore tribute in granite to four, great American presidents, as recompense to Sioux tribes who hold the land sacred.



If this U.N. brazen intrusion . . .

The Sick Comedy of Barry and Mo

The Sick Comedy of Barry and Mo

A few generations ago, ”Obama and Gadhafi” or “Barry and Mo” might have suggested a comedy team or comic strip characters. No more. Now there may be comedic elements in that pair but there’s little that’s really funny about either of them.

Thanks to his mainstream media, President Barack Hussein Obama may be riotously gaffe-prone with his references to America’s 57 or 58 states, his use of “corpse,” twice, in lieu of “corps,” his stupidity in calling a Cambridge cop stupid, and a host of other ignorant statements, they are all little known and/or soon buried by his MSM.

Leno and Letterman still crack Bushisms. They dare not touch Obama.

Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, better known as Gadhafi, Khadafy, or just plain Mo and Daffy to some, could be the straight man in that comedy duo since he isn’t nearly as funny as Barry–unless one views maniacal behavior as amusing. Recent events in Mo’s Libya could also be seen as amusing–if one can get past repression, slaughter, and mayhem.

Mo isn’t new to the world of comedy, either. His 2009 United Nations’ speech defending the Taliban and Somali pirates has to be considered a comedy classic, especially since one of his boys, Ali Treki, was then President of the U.N. General Assembly, a situation made even funnier by Libya’s subsequent placement on the U.N. Human Rights Council.

Positively rollicking stuff! Then, along comes Barry and war to steal Mo’s comedic, absurdist-comedic, thunder.

America’s Hamlet-function-alike president, torn between his Muslim roots and his presidential responsibilities, was all verklempt over Egypt’s Mubarak but more so about his bud, Mo. I’m not suggesting Barry is or ever has been a Muslim. . .

From the Good News Department . . .

From the Good News Department . . .

We tend to scrabble about for good news during trying times, and these are very trying times, so I’m delighted to share some of that good stuff for a change:

. Good News Item Numero Uno: Add this item to the many other signs that conscious Americans are finally waking up to our pretend president and his pretensions to the presidency: The Millennials are Jumping Ship!

I admit, not being a millennial, that I didn’t know the meaning of the word and discovered it refers to those Americans between 18 and 29. More importantly, a Pew survey shows they are abandoning Obama at a rapid clip.

That demographic joins many others just a year after Obamamania swept the planet, swept the Indie vote, and, of course, the Dem and Black votes. That last constituency is still firmly ensconced in Obama’s column but all the others are in various degrees of peril.

The Pew Research Center study “says that the Democrats’ advantage over Republicans with [the Millennials] has dramatically shrunk from a 32 point margin in 2008 to 14 points,” although the bulk of that Republican gain are “leaners.” Dems are still favored by Mils and the margins for Gen X-ers and Boomers are statistically insignificant: http://bit.ly/cF4qCW

All the numbers are a far cry from a year ago when Obamania was in full bloom.

As of now, should trends continue, the elections 9 months and 33 months from now may represent 1994 and 2000 reduxes, respectively–unless Republicans shoot themselves in their feet with internal dissension.

. Good News Item Numero Dos: “D.C. Archdiocese Ends Foster Care Program.” On its surface, that story would seem bad news for kids in need of foster care but surfaces are misleading. . .
