Paris Attack Just a Random Shooting, Says nObama
Not only does Barack nObama refuse to admit that ISIL and its ilk are driven by Islamic ideology, he can't even say that the group has a hit list. After an Islamic militant captured shoppers in a Jewish market in Paris, killing four Jews, nObama basically likened it to a group of gangsters roughing up Katz Deli in New York City. In an interview with Vox, nObama said, "It is entirely legitimate for the American people to be deeply concerned when you've got a bunch of violent, vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris. ... It is right and appropriate for us to be vigilant and aggressive in trying to deal with that -- the same way a big city mayor's got to cut the crime rate down if he wants that city to thrive." But combatting Islamic extremism isn't the same as keeping the peace as the Italian Mafia and Russian thugs battle over who gets to collect trash and distribute cocaine. Fox News analyst Charles Krauthammer asserted, "The reason [nObama] doesn't have a strategy [to fight radical Islam] is because he thinks there is no need for a strategy because it is random violence." Either nObama is deluding himself, or he brought political obfuscation to the next level. More... -The Patriot Post 
'Settled Science' and Data Tampering

levels at devastating highs. Civilization on the cusp of socioeconomic disaster. Alarmists' predictions never materialize, but doom is looming, they assure us. Interestingly, the diabolical Leftmedia never question the various narratives, but when it comes to evidence of scientific fraud they act like it's simply part of the process necessary to narrow down the preconceived day of Climate Armageddon. The federal government is actively manipulating global temperature data to fit the narrative, which London Telegraph writer Christopher Booker reminds us "is the biggest science scandal ever." In fact, he notes, "When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records -- on which the entire panic ultimately rested -- were systematically 'adjusted' to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified." The science is "settled," the Left lectures. So long as you ignore massive collusion and fraud. -The Patriot Post The Myth of the One-in-Five Statistic Grows
Hotline for Illegals, Not So Much for Vets
As Mark Twain observed, there are lies, damned lies and statistics. Barack nObama dished out all of it in a PSA about sexual violence that ran during the Grammy Awards. He claimed, "Right now, nearly one in five women in America has been a victim of rape or attempted rape. And more than one in four women has experienced some form of domestic violence." The lie works because it's repeated -- often. So for the viewers who just wanted to witness Sam Smith sweeping Grammy win after Grammy win, the statistic sounded
true. Last summer, commentator George Will questioned the one-in-five statistic of rape on college campuses, arguing it was so inflated and didn't make any logical sense that it was only good as government propaganda. Furthermore, Washington Examiner commentator Ashe Schow notes that nObama not only repeated a suspect statistic, but he stretched the truth even further. The statistic was traditionally used by progressives to talk about rape on college campuses. But then nObama went and applied it to all women in the United States. After all, he's got a "war on women" to maintain. More... -The Patriot Post

House GOP Works on Life-at-Conception Bill
In the wake of the House debacle over the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a group of 50 Republicans is working an another bill to establish life at conception. Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) explains, "There are thousands of unborn babies who need us to fight tirelessly on the issue of human life. I cannot think of a more important role for a benevolent society than to offer protection for the right to life of the most vulnerable among us." Republicans see an opening in none other than the reasoning behind the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade. Justice Harry Blackmon wrote, "If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case [i.e., "Roe"], of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [Fourteenth] Amendment." It's guaranteed Barack nObama will veto the bill, but it's worth putting our representatives on the record regarding the clear science of when life begins. If Democrats claim to be the Party of Science™, this shouldn't be a difficult question. -The Patriot Post

Hotline for Illegals, Not So Much for Vets
The Department of Homeland Security set up a hotline for people who believe their rights have been violated. Illegal aliens who believe so, that is. In the wake of Barack nObama's amnesty, U.S. Customs and Border Protection advised illegals to "please tell us about your experience" if they feel they've been treated "contrary to the new DHS enforcement priorities." Shawn Moran, vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, says it's an insult: "Instead of supporting our agents, this administration has decided it is more important to find new ways to solicit complaints and invite ridicule against them." Meanwhile, compare that "customer service" to the treatment of veterans. There are hundreds of thousands of veterans awaiting help from the Department of Veterans Affairs in a variety of ways, from home-loan assistance to disability benefits to health care. Veterans quickly became far too familiar with the incredible lack of responsiveness by the VA. It is a near impossibility to actually reach a human being at the VA by telephone, and, if you ever do, good luck getting anything useful out of them. To see such shameful treatment of our veterans while nObama's administration is placing funds into a program designed to assist people here illegally is beyond appalling. More... -The Patriot Post

nObama Busted in Infuriating Lie About Islam
(conservativetribune.com) - The United States president continues to strengthen his defense of his cherished religion of Islam, especially when recently asked why the White House refused to use factual phrases such as “radical Islamic terrorists.”...Fareed Zakaria of CNN interviewed nObama last week and asked him some relatively tough questions about his hesitation to name radical Islam as the primary originator of modern terrorism. nObama’s sympathy for the barbaric religion was made apparent when he answered with a shockingly false statement. Despite rapidly growing evidence to the contrary, nObama claimed that 99.9% of Muslims are opposed to Islamic originated terrorism and violent acts. That number, wherever he pulled it from, is so far from true it’s borderline hilarious. He stated that 99.9%, essentially 100% of Muslims do not support Islamic-based violence. According to the left-leaning Pew Research 2014 Global Attitudes Survey, his numbers are extremely off. http://conservativetribune.com/obama-busted-in-islam-lie-1/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzEmail&utm_content=936184&utm_campaign=0

World Council of Churches Feeds the Monster
(Susan Warner) - Founded in 1948, The World Council of Churches (WCC) is a fellowship of 345 Protestant and Orthodox Christian churches in 110 countries. Their aim is “to support the member churches and ecumenical partners to journey together...promoting justice and peace in our world as an expression of faith in the Triune God.” To advance their “justice and peace” initiatives, they collude with Islamic and Palestinian friends in a covert scheme to sabotage Israel. Their web of anti-Zionism extends throughout Europe, the Americas and Africa. While this may seem a bold assertion, it is nonetheless worth examining some undeniable evidence. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/susan-warner/world-council-of-churches-feeds-the-monster/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2c49bb7c91-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-2c49bb7c91-156509103

Anniversary of the Islamic Republic and Mullahs
(Majid Rafizadeh) - The Iranian government has started its ten-day ceremonies celebrating its triumph and rise to power after the overthrow of the Mohammad Reza Shah government...At the same time, the Iranian leaders are boasting about launching another satellite into orbit (their fourth). Although diverse social movements and political parties (including secular, women’s movements, nationalists, etc.) participated in the revolution, the revolution was soon kidnapped by the Islamist party due to the fact that Ayatollah Khomeini was presumed to be the leader. Soon after, religious laws were imposed, women and men were forced to abide by dress codes, women’s basic rights were taken away, women judges were fired from court, the moral police filled the streets, music and dancing were banned, and dissenters were killed inside and outside the country. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/majid-rafizadeh/anniversary-of-the-islamic-republic-and-mullahs/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2c49bb7c91-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-2c49bb7c91-156509103

Tax Day Shocker: nObamacare ‘Clawback’ To Hit
(Richard Pollock) - Anyone who receives nObamacare subsidies could be in for a rude awakening this tax season...Four in ten low-income nObamacare participants will face sticker shock this April 15 when they discover they owe a great deal of money to the IRS because of a little-known “clawback” provision in the health-care law. A family of four could owe the government as much as $11,200, according to a 2013 prediction by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. http://dailycaller.com/2015/02/08/tax-day-shocker-obamacare-clawback-to-hit-some-subsidy-recipients-with-huge-tax-bill/?utm_campaign=547f4d2f01958a5001000e49&utm_source=boomtrain&utm_medium=email&bt_alias=eyJ1c2VySWQiOiIxNGM0NjNjMC1jMWFlLTQxNGMtODE0Ny1iYjAxZjY0ZTBkNjEifQ%3D%3D

FBI has opened ISIS cases in 49 U.S. states
(F. Michael Maloof) - As ISIS spreads its influence and rule not only in its caliphate of portions of Syria and Iraq but also in non-contiguous areas of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, the FBI is opening up cases of suspects who may be tied to ISIS in 49 states of the United States... “We are focused keenly on who would be looking to travel to join this band of murderers who will have come back from Iraq and Syria and to the United States,” said FBI Director James Comey in a recent speech to law enforcement officers in Mississippi. “We have opened cases all over the place focused on this threat, so it is not … a Washington thing – it is something we focus on throughout the FBI,” Comey said. http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/fbi-has-opened-isis-cases-in-49-u-s-states/

Republicans: We Can’t Defund Amnesty
Republicans: We Can’t Defund Amnesty (fixthisnation.com) - Ever since it became clear that President nObama would go through with his executive amnesty, concerned Americans have pressured Republicans to use the power of the purse to stop it...The chances of that happening have dwindled if a report from the House Appropriations Committee is to be believed. Headed up by Kentucky Republican Hal Rogers, the Committee announced that Congress would be unable to defund the president’s reform. In a statement released just hours before nObama took his plan to the public on Thursday night, the Committee said that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services “is entirely self-funded through the fees it collects on various immigration applications.” Because the CIS would be chiefly responsible for carrying out the president’s decree, Congress would not have the authority to defund the program. http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/republicans-we-cant-defund-amnesty/
7. Hanoi Kerry delusional about ISIS
(FoxNews.com) - Secretary of State Hanoi John Kerry and a top White House official claimed Sunday that the U.S. strategy to defeat the Islamic State is working – despite warnings from other corners of the nObama administration that the terror network is in fact spreading...Following the purported deaths last week of two ISIS hostages and concerns about the U.S. needing to do more, Hanoi Kerry told NBC's "Meet the Press" that the U.S.-led coalition was "on the road" to defeating the Islamic extremist group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, in Iraq and Syria. He argued that coalition forces have recaptured 22 percent of the populated areas that ISIS once held in the region “without launching what we would call a major offensive." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02/08/kerry-says-us-on-road-to-defeating-islamic-state/?intcmp=latestnews

Gen. John Allen Warns That ISIS Is More of a Threat Than Al-Qaeda
(Lawrence Bonk) - While American pundits are arguing over how to classify them, ISIS have slowly and steadily been building out their forces...Retired General John Allen, who now acts as the Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIS, confirmed the threat during a recent interview he conducted with ABC News. He even says Al Qaeda pales in comparison to the combined, and organized, might of the upstart terror network: “ISIS is at an entirely different level than al Qaeda was.” He says. ISIS is “better organized [than al Qaeda]. It’s command and control is better.” http://www.ijreview.com/2015/02/247418-general-john-allen-says-isis-threat-al-qaeda/?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=9&listID=%7BlistID%7D

US Supreme Court Refuses to Stop Gay Marriages in Alabama
(voanews.com) - The United States Supreme Court says it will not stop same-sex marriages from taking place in the southern state of Alabama...The court on Monday denied a request by Alabama's attorney general to continue a hold on a judge's ruling overturning the state's ban on gay marriage. The decision effectively makes Alabama the 37th state where gays can legally marry. Chief Justice Roy Moore had argued that Alabama was not required to follow the decisions of a federal court that last month declared the state's ban on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. http://www.voanews.com/content/judge-tries-to-halt-same-sex-marriages-in-alabama/2634480.html

Two Parties Walk Out of Yemen Talks 
(factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com) - “In short, climate change is not worse than we thought,” wrote Bjorn Lomborg in a recent issue of The Wall Street Journal. He is best known as the author of “The Skeptical Environmentalist” and his skepticism is welcome, but insufficient.
H. Sterling Burnett, the Managing Editor of Environment & Climate News, took note of the current weather, saying “Despite the cold, temperatures in the U.S. at present are closer to the normal winter range than they were in 2014 during the depth of the polar vortex," adding a tweak to the Warmists, saying "Seems like a good time to protest global warming.”
Two Parties Walk Out of Yemen Talks
(voanews.com) - U.N.-brokered talks aimed at resolving the political crisis in Yemen resumed Monday, but two parties promptly walked out...Islah, an opposition party merging Islamist and tribal interests, and the smaller pan-Arab Nasserist Organization, quit the talks in a Sana'a hotel, saying they had been threatened by a Houthi representative, Mehdi al-Meshaat. The negotiations are aimed at resolving the political crisis in the volatile Arabian Peninsula state. Shi'ite Houthis captured the capital last September and took over the government last week, dissolved parliament and forced the ouster of Western-backed President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi. http://www.voanews.com/content/yemen-talks-resume-/2634540.html
Lukewarm About Climate Change
Alan Caruba
First of all, climate change is a very long-term process and always has been. The climate takes decades and centuries to change, largely based on well-known warming and cooling cycles. During the course of these cycles, both related to comparable cycles on the Sun, all manner of climate-related events occur, from hurricanes to blizzards. Nothing new here.
The problem with Lomborg’s commentary is that he confuses climate change with global warming, the hoax concocted in the late 1980s by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in order to have an international tax imposed on “greenhouse gas emissions”, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), that the IPCC guaranteed was going to heat up the Earth in a few decades unless greatly reduced. Lomborg even cites the IPCC which has grown notorious for its lies.
The predictions about when the heat would become lethal ranged from ten to fifty years as the amount of CO2 increased. The problem for Lomborg and others is that CO2 has been increasing in the Earth’s atmosphere without any evidence of the predicted heating. That explains why Lomborg and other “Warmists” don’t refer to global warming anymore. As for the increase, the latest, best science points to the fact that CO2 has no affect whatever on the climate.
Lomborg wrote, “A well-meaning environmentalist might argue that, because climate change is a reality, why not ramp up the rhetoric and focus on the bad news to make sure the public understands its importance.” Even Lomborg acknowledged that is exactly what the environmentalists have been doing for the past twenty years.
“The public has been bombarded with dramatic headlines and apocalyptic photos of climate change and its consequences. Yet despite endless successions of climate summits, carbon emissions continue to rise, especially in rapidly developing countries like India, China, and many African nations.” That’s called development and that requires electricity and other means of powering manufacturing and transportation.
One thing Lomborg got right is that “Alarmism has encouraged the pursuit of a one-sided climate policy of trying to cut carbon emissions by subsidizing wind farms and solar panels.” These are two of the most costly and worthless forms of energy generation and Lomborg notes that even the International Energy Agency doesn’t expect them to provide any more than “a minuscule 2.2% of the world’s energy by 2040.”
Lomborg continues to do his best to be on both sides of the issue of “climate change” when, in fact, it is not an issue because there is nothing humans anywhere on planet Earth can do to have any impact on it. What we can do, however, is encourage the development which he points to. “This is important because if we want to help the poor people who are most threatened by natural disasters, we have to recognize that it is less about cutting carbon emissions than it is about pulling them out of poverty.”
It has nothing about cutting carbon emissions because that is not a threat. Indeed, without CO2 all life on Earth would cease to be. It is the gas on which all vegetation depends, just as mammals and other creatures depend on oxygen.
“In short, climate change is not worse than we thought. Some indicators are worse, but some are better. That doesn’t mean global warming is not a reality or a problem. It definitely is,” says Lomborg.
No, despite his science credentials and the two books he has written, Lomborg is just dead wrong. Global warming is neither a reality nor a problem because the Earth has been in A COOLING CYCLE for nineteen years at this point and one might think Lomborg would know this; particularly since his views are being published in an eminent U.S. newspaper that should also know this.
The real issue for Americans is an nObama administration that is imposing regulations based on the utterly false assertion that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced because of global warming.
In June 2014, James Delinpole, wrote: “Here is the nObama administration’s green strategy reduced to one damning equation: 19 million jobs lost plus $4.335 trillion spent = a reduction in global mean temperature of 0.018 degrees C (0.032 degrees F). These are the costs to the U.S. economy by 2100 of the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory war on carbon dioxide, whereby all states must reduce emissions from coal-fired generating plants by 30% below 2005 levels.”
If you still wonder why the U.S. economy has just barely begun to pull itself out of the Great Recession triggered by the 2008 financial crisis, the answer is the nObama administration’s spectacular failures typified by massive wasteful spending, nObamaCare’s impact on the healthcare sector, and its continuing attack on the energy sector.
Only Congress and the courts stand between us and nObama as he pursues the destruction of the nation while claiming he is acting to “combat climate change.”
