Backs Bibi - Walker penned an op-ed for NRO declaring his support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on Tuesday: “If the president continues to call into doubt our friendship with Israel while seeking rapprochement with Iran, he will harm more than just the U.S.–Israeli relationship. He will undermine the trust of our remaining friends and partners in the Middle East.” -Fox news 
Says nObama desire for Iran nuke deal trumps ISIS war - Palm Beach [Fla.] Post: “President Barack nObama’s desire for a nuclear deal with Iran is blocking the military defeat of Islamic State forces, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio contends. … But in an interview with The Palm Beach Post on Saturday, Rubio argued that while Iran has ‘tolerated some U.S. airstrikes on a limited basis,’ it sees a larger U.S. role as a threat…”

FIORINA BRISTLES AT ‘TOKEN’ TALK
In an interview with David Drucker following her standout CPAC performance, Carly Fiorina drew a line between running for president because she is a woman and being a woman who is running for president: “I’ve never been a token in my life, and, if I run, I’m not running because I am a woman. The facts are, I am a woman, and as a woman, I think I bring the perspective of 53 percent of voters today who are also women and a voice that is too often missing.” -Fox news

Is puny planet Pluto about to get a big head? Some scientists think so. While everyone knows the distant orb is tiny (smaller than our moon) throw in its atmosphere and Pluto’s planetary stature becomes, well, big. Buzzfeed: “Michael Summers, a NASA scientist working on the New Horizons mission to Pluto, posted [an] image on the mission’s blog last week. He wrote: The “outer limit” of Pluto’s atmosphere is very difficult to define, although we know that it is very far from the surface. If one defines it similar to the way we define the exobase of Earth’s atmosphere, then Pluto’s atmosphere has an outer limit of at least seven times Pluto’s radius above it surface. This means that the volume of Pluto’s atmosphere is over 350 times the volume of Pluto itself!” The New Horizons mission will be taking measurements in plutospace later this year. -Fox news

backstabber BOEHNER READY TO RUN THE RAPIDS ON IMMIGRATION
National Journal: “After cutting a last-minute deal Friday night to fund the Homeland Security Department for one week, [Speaker backstabber John Boehner] now has a vital choice to make: Does he stand with the conservative members of his party who insist that the funding measure must be used as a chance to block President nObama’s immigration action, or does he work with Democrats and the moderates in his own party to pass a clean funding measure that avoids a DHS shutdown but leaves immigration alone…Despite the last week’s tumult, there’s no real indication right now that backstabber Boehner’s speakership is in jeopardy…. But this week, with the shutdown clock again running may just set the tone for the duration of his leadership and show whether or not he’s able to keep his party together while ensuring that the government stays open.”
“We do have some members who disagree from time to time over the tactics that we decide to employ. But, remember, Republicans are united in this idea that the president has far exceeded his constitutional authority. And we all want to do things to stop the president from his illicit activity.” –Speaker backstabber John Boehner, R-Ohio, on CBS’s “Face the Nation”. -Fox news

Trey Gowdy on Strengthening Our Interior Enforcement
(politibrew.com) - Here's Trey Gowdy speaking about a new bill which will empower states and local jurisdictions to enforce federal immigration laws. It will also prevent future Presidents from deciding which laws to enforce and which to ignore. This is awesome...The House Judiciary Committee is considering this bill and Gowdy shows you how you can learn more about it. "We introduced the Michael Davis, Jr. in Honor of State and Local Law Enforcement Act, to strengthen the interior enforcement of our immigration laws. We trust state and local law enforcement officers to enforce every other category of law from murder to child sex cases to narcotics trafficking. If we trust them to do all that, we should give them a role in enforcing our immigration laws."
Here's a Benghazi press conference with Trey Gowdy and company. Hillly's e-mails are involved.
Here's Trey Gowdy earlier today on Fox News talking about Hilly Clinton's Secretary of State e-mails.

US ambassador to South Korea injured in knife attack
(foxnews.com) - The U.S. ambassador to South Korea was slashed by a man screaming demands for Korean unification Thursday morning in Seoul, and was hospitalized with wounds to his face and wrist...Media images showed a stunned-looking Mark W. Lippert examining his blood-covered left hand and holding his right hand over a cut on the right side of his face, his pink tie splattered with blood. The attack occurred at a performing arts center in downtown Seoul where Lippert was about to give a lecture on the prospects for peace on the divided Korean peninsula. The U.S. Embassy said Lippert was in stable condition after surgery at a Seoul hospital. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/03/05/us-ambassador-to-south-korea-injured-in-attack/?intcmp=latestnews

State Lawmakers Pushing Back Against Federal Overreach
(Jack Kenny) - The issue of federal government overreach is often talked about in 21st-century America, but some state legislators are actually doing something about it... Recently The Hill reported that more than 200 bills have been introduced in state capitols across the country to nullify federal laws or regulations that the bills’ sponsors claim violate the Constitution of the United States. “You have a choice," Diane St. Onge, a Republican state representative in Kentucky, told The Hill. “To sit back and not do anything or say anything and let overregulation continue — or you have the alternative choice to speak up about it and say, ‘We know what you are doing or intend to do and we do not think that it is constitutional and we as a state are not going to stand for it.’ ” http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/20273-state-lawmakers-pushing-back-against-federal-overreach?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_campaign=06bb99d169-The_Editors_Top_Picks_3_12_143_12_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8ca494f2d2-06bb99d169-289778381

nObama Announces Creation Of Federal Domestic Police State Force
(rickwells.us) - The only reason Hussein nObama needed to make the announcement of his federal takeover of local law enforcement, the gradual diversion away from a mission of serving the people to one of serving him, was to hear himself talk and to, as he loves to do, lecture the peasants...Anyone who has been paying attention already knows he is creating his own private domestic army of nObama loyalists, under his faithful servants in the “Justice Department.” On Monday he described the takeover in familiar, ominous terms, saying, “We have a great opportunity, coming out of some great conflict and tragedy, to really transform how we think about community law enforcement relations.” The determination of just how great this opportunity is depends solely upon one’s perspective. For the American people, the loss of local accountability and control of their community and state policing is the real great tragedy. http://www.rickwells.us/he-did-it-obama-announces-creation-of-federal-domestic-police-state-force-progressively-so-we-wont-stop-him/

Hilly Clinton's Contempt for Transparency
(Conor Friedersdorf) - On January 13, 2009, Hilly Clinton attended her first confirmation hearing as a Secretary of State nominee...The same day, with Bush officials still under fire for using private email accounts to circumvent public records laws, someone registered Clintonemail.com, a domain that now appears to be at the center of a scandal. "Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department," The New York Times reported in a story published late Monday. "Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act." This was willful, flagrant disregard for public records rules. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/03/hillary-clinton-email-transparency-secretary-state/386641/

Petulant nObama Schedules Conference To Coincide With Bibi's
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - When the word got out that nObama’s schedule was too full for him to listen to Netanyahu’s speech today on the existential threat Iran poses, I figured he would be “busy” watching SportsCenter...But no – this petty, petulant president decided to schedule a video conference with Western leaders at the last minute, ensuring that they missed the speech. Of course any one of these world leaders can view the speech later on YouTube, but as Koffler notes, “what a petty insult to Netanyahu.” Does he think people don’t notice? Is this the behavior of a confident, mentally stable leader? Sources say no…. And he said his schedule was full. Hogwash. https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/petulant-president-schedules-video-conference-with-top-western-leaders-to-coincide-with-netanyahu-speech/

Petraeus Set To Plead Guilty
CNN is reporting, through Evan Perez again, that General David Petraeus is expected to plead guilty to a federal probe that he gave classified pillow-talk intelligence to Paula Broadwell during their affair in 2011/2012...It should be noted, however, that Evan Perez was recently the CNN reporter who presented an entirely false story about a DHS report on Soverign Citizens where he portrayed the report as DHS worried about right-wing extremist groups. Nothing in his interpretation of the report was even remotely accurate – it was manufactured from left-wing ideological loin cloth (backstory). http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/03/03/petraeus-set-to-plead-guilty-remove-himself-from-the-clutches-of-obamaclinton-blackmail/

House approves DHS funding bill, ending immigration standoff
(foxnews.com) - The House voted Tuesday to fund the Homeland Security Department through the end of the budget year, ending a protracted standoff that centered on objections to President nObama's controversial immigration actions...The House voted 257-167 for the legislation, sending it to nObama's desk. The final legislation includes no immigration provisions, and was carried over the finish line with mostly Democratic votes. The result is a victory for the nObama administration. Republicans had tried to use the DHS funding bill as the vehicle to reverse nObama's immigration executive actions. But Democrats repeatedly blocked the move, insisting they pass the spending bill with no riders attached. They are caving and disregarding the peoples wishes. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/03/sources-house-to-vote-on-homeland-security-bill-without-immigration-conditions/

Trey Gowdy Tracking Down Hilly E mails
(rickwells.us) - Once again the scandal mills that are the nObama regime and the Democrat Party have been found to be hiding their actions from the American people...This incident has all the appearances of being a well-thought out, strategic move by Hilly Clinton to keep all of her activities and actions beyond the reach of the prying eyes of the American public. Ms Clinton, who has come under recent criticism for accepting large amounts of cash from foreign governments through her “foundation,” conducted the people’s business from a server located in her own home, rather than using the proper and fully archived State Department email system. Rep Gowdy notes that this is a problem, that she has improperly made herself the custodian over the people’s records, which she is maintaining at her home. There also is the very real potential for incriminating or damaging records and information being withheld from his investigation into Benghazi at the sole discretion of the former Secretary of State.

As Joseph L. Bast, president of The Heartland Institute and Joseph A. Morris, an attorney who has fought in several countries to defend free speech, wrote in a February 24 commentary, “The Crucifixion of Dr. Wei-Hock Soon”, of an article co-authored with Christopher Monckton, Matt Briggs, and David Legates, and published in the Science Bulletin, a publication of the Chinese Academy of Sciences “The article reveals what appears to be an error in the computer models used to predict global warming that leads models to over-estimate future warming by a factor of three.” (Emphasis added) Their commentary has been downloaded more than 10,000 times! 
Columnist Larry Bell who is also an endowed professor at the University of Houston, disputed the Greenpeace claim, saying, “First, let’s recognize that the supporting FOIA documents referred to an agreement between the Smithsonian (not Dr. Soon) and Southern Company Services, Inc., whereby 40 percent of that more than $1.2 million went directly to the Smithsonian” leaving “an average funding of $71,000 a year for the past eleven years to support the actual research activities.” In his article, “Vilifying realist science—and scientists”, Paul Driessen, a policy advisor to the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), noted that in 2012 Greenpeace USA was the recipient of $32,791,149 and that this is true of other environmental pressure groups that in 2012 secured $111,915.138 for the Environmental Defense Fund, $98,701,707 for the Natural Resources Defense Council, $97,757,678 for the Sierra Club, and, for Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, $19,150,215. Among the groups receiving the letter were two for whom I am a policy advisor, The Heartland Institute and CFACT, but others include the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the George C. Marshall Institute, the American Legislative Exchange Council, and the American Energy Alliance.
Cummings Upset Over Subpoena Of Hilly Clinton’s Secret Emails
(rickwells.us) - Rep Elijah Cummings is always complaining, incessantly shouting accusations of racism and forever accusing Republicans of partisanship. Aside from Hussein nObama and Eric Holder...he’s one of the most divisive individuals to have disgraced the United States government with their presence. He’s the definition of a Democrat racist partisan. On Wednesday Cummings told reporters, “I did not want to believe it, but everything I’ve seen so far has led me to believe that this is an effort to go after Hilly Clinton, period.” Cummings might have a point, if she is the only criminal, but she’ll probably have lots of company before the investigation is over. He said, “Clearly this has been a very much drawn out process,” implying that it is intended to harm the presidential candidacy of the former “First Tammy Wynette” turned Secretary of State. Cummings is a jerk and a turncoat commie. He has no sense of the law. Gowdy should kick him out of the committee. http://www.rickwells.us/elijah-cummings-upset-over-subpoena-of-hillary-clintons-secret-emails-if-she-werent-white-it-would-be-racist/

(factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com) - It is a sure sign that the advocates of the “global warming” and “climate change” hoaxes know that the public no longer believes that the former is occurring or that the latter represents an immediate, global threat.
Even though the “climate skeptics”, scientists who have produced research proving false methodology and the conclusions based on it are quite few in number, an effort to silence them by smearing their reputations and denying funding for their work has been launched and it is based entirely on a lie. Scientists are supposed to be skeptical, not only of other scientist’s findings, but their
own. Good science must be able to reproduce the results of published research. In the case of the many computer models cited as proof that global warming was occurring or would, the passing years have demonstrated that none were accurate.
As Joseph L. Bast, president of The Heartland Institute and Joseph A. Morris, an attorney who has fought in several countries to defend free speech, wrote in a February 24 commentary, “The Crucifixion of Dr. Wei-Hock Soon”, of an article co-authored with Christopher Monckton, Matt Briggs, and David Legates, and published in the Science Bulletin, a publication of the Chinese Academy of Sciences “The article reveals what appears to be an error in the computer models used to predict global warming that leads models to over-estimate future warming by a factor of three.” (Emphasis added) Their commentary has been downloaded more than 10,000 times!
“If the work of Soon et al is confirmed by other scientists, the ‘global warming crisis’ may need to be cancelled and we can all enjoy lower taxes, fewer regulations, and more personal freedom.” However, “having failed to refute the article, environmentalists turned to smearing the authors.”
Little wonder the “Warmists” are worried; the Earth has been in a cooling cycle since 1996. People are noticing just how cold this record-breaking and record-setting winter is.
The attack on Dr. Soon began with a Greenpeace news release that was republished on the front page of The New York Times on February 22nd. Despite its august reputation, The Times' coverage of climate issues has been an utter disgrace for decades. As public interest waned, it eliminated its staff of reporters exclusively devoted to writing about the “environment.”
Myron Ebell, a climate change skeptic and director of Global Warming and International Environmental Policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, noted on February 27th that the Greenpeace attack on Dr. Soon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics claimed they had secured $1.2 million in funding for his research over the past decade and that it came from energy corporations, electric utilities, and charitable foundations related to those companies. The truth, however, is “that the grants were made not to Dr. Soon but to the Smithsonian, which never complained while taking its sizable cut off the top.”
Focusing on Greenpeace and its Climate Investigations Center which describes itself as “a group funded by foundations seeking to limit the risks of climate change”, Bell asked “Do these activist organizations make their estimated $360,000,000 annual funding publicly available?” Bell said “Ad hominem assaults disparaging the integrity of this leading authority on relationships between solar phenomena and global climate are unconscionable.”
“All told,” noted Driessen, “more than 16,000 American environmental groups collected total annual revenues of over $13.4 billion (2009 figures). Only a small part of that comes from membership dues and individual contributions.” With that kind of money you can do a lot of damage to scientist’s reputation.
They fear that the public may actually learn the truth about “global warming” and the fear-mongering claims about “climate change” does not stop with just the environmental organizations. At the same time The New York Times was printing the Greenpeace lies, U.S. Senators Ed Market (D-Mass), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joined together on February 25th to send letters to 107 companies, trade associations, and non-profit groups demanding comprehensive information about all funding of research on climate or related issues.
Following The New York Times article, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), the ranking Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, sent letters to the presidents of seven universities asking them to provide details about seven professors who are either prominent global warming skeptics.
As Rich Lowrey, editor of the National Review, pointed out on February 27th, that "Science as an enterprise usually doesn't need political enforcers. But proponents of a climate alarmism that demands immediate action to avert worldwide catastrophe won't and can't simply let the science speak for itself."

But proponents of a climate alarmism that demands immediate action to avert worldwide catastrophe won't and can't simply let the science speak for itself."
This is not fact-finding. It is an act of intimidation.
And it looks like a carefully organized effort to quash any research that might dispute “global warming” or “climate change” as defined by the Greens and by both the President and the Secretary of State as the greatest threat we and the rest of the world faces.
The greatest threat is the scores of environmental organizations that have been exaggerating and distorting their alleged “science” in order to thwart development here and around the world that would enhance everyone’s life. Now they are attacking real scientists, those who are skeptical of their claims, to silence them.
This is what fascists do.
