Debunking the Latest Sea Level Scare
Well, so much for sleeping a little easier knowing the earth naturally curbs rising ocean levels by soaking up water like a sponge. Yet another new study says that man-made global warming is causing oceans to rise at an unprecedented rate. As summarized in USA Today, "Global sea levels stayed fairly steady for about 3,000 years. Then, with the Industrial Revolution, global sea levels began to rise, the study said. Scientists say the seas rose 5.5 inches from 1900 to 2000, a significant increase, especially for low-lying coastal areas." That combined with projections of even swifter ocean level rise has alarmists very concerned that our coastal cities will soon be submerged.
But before you begin work on an ark, read the response meteorologist Joe Bastardi had in an email to The Patriot Post: "When I moved to New Jersey in 1965, after the '62 storm, there was fear the barrier islands would be gone by 2000. Well, they aren't. There is constant shifting going on and a 4-8 inch rise in a century is well within natural bounds. Greenland and Antarctica are fine overall." The more important question, he posits, is how were sea levels being measured 50 years ago? Were the same methods used then as they are today? "The PDO/AMO shift coming will retard" the sea level rise, Bastardi says. "When they are warm, as they are now, sea levels are higher." In other words, just like the earth sponge study showed, it's all part of earth's design.

Barack nObama: Another Castro Brother
Barack nObama has always gravitated toward the worst of humanity, being an apologist and a cheerleader for them, accommodating them and seeking to expand their influence. His upcoming trip to Cuba is par for the course.
He got his political start in the home of radial leftist domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn. Frank Marshall Davis, a devout communist (and likely pedophile), was a father figure to him. His mother, father and stepfather all hated America. In his autobiography "Dreams From My Father," nObama spoke of how, as a college student, he gravitated toward Marxist professors and leftist radicals.
Before he ran for president, he spent two decades in the church of the racist, hate-spewing Jeremiah "G-D America" Wright. After being elected president, nObama canceled a missile defense system with our Eastern European allies that would have protected them from Russian aggression. When Iranians took to the streets in peaceful protest following the rigged election of hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, nObama was virtually silent as Iranian police and the Basij (paramilitary) clubbed, kicked, beat, and shot the demonstrators.
Deeply embedded in his ideological DNA, nObama has followed this pattern throughout his presidency. So it was disgusting, but not all surprising, when nObama in 2014 announced that he was reversing decades of U.S. policy regarding the murderous, communist Castro regime, and re-opening the U.S. embassy in Havana as part of a resumption of diplomatic relations. This week, nObama announced that he would be the first U.S. president to visit Cuba since President Calvin Coolidge in 1928 — though that was under far different circumstances. -The Patriot Post

OPINION IN BRIEF
Walter Williams: "The first law of thermodynamics, translated into plain English, states that 'there is no such thing as a free lunch.' Conservation of energy is a basic law of physics that cannot be violated. ... Tyrants do not trust free markets and what they imply, voluntary exchange, because people acting voluntarily might not do what the tyrant thinks they should do. That is why they favor compulsion in the forms of tariffs and quotas to stifle peaceable, voluntary exchange with foreigners. By the way, some of the political obfuscation about foreign trade is lifted when we recognize that it is not really nations trading with one another. In other words, the U.S. Congress does not trade with the federal government of Mexico, England's or France's parliaments or Japan's Diet. It's individual Americans who, through private intermediaries, trade with: Mexican Ford manufacturers, English clothing manufacturers, French wine producers and Japanese automakers. Too many Americans believe in the possibility of a free lunch. Politicians exploit that gullibility. The unpleasant task of a good economist is to teach that fundamental principle: One cannot get something for nothing." -The Patriot Post.

White Folks Gonna Have To Give Up Stuff,
Sacrifice – For Black Lives Matter
Rick Wells.
Marissa Jenae Johnson
.
{rickwells.us} ~ With arguments consistent with those of the race-baiters Hussein nObama and Eric Holder, Black Lives Matter co-founder Marissa Johnson blames white people for everything that’s wrong with her life... When she can’t deal with reality it’s because her reality is too hard. There are lots of white people going hungry; her life seems to be much easier than theirs. She doesn’t want a real reality, she wants a separate, on demand, “more fair reality,” crafted for her by a redistributive Marxist government. She claims that it is white people who are to blame for creating the conditions that “require” a phrase like black lives matter. It’s not because the phrase “I’m getting up off my whiny, lazy butt and gonna stop feeling sorry for myself” was already taken, it’s because they want something for nothing. Work involves eh…work. The over-acting agitator asks, “Do you know what I’d give to live in a world where I didn’t have to say black lives matter? Do you know how horrific it is to grow up as a child in a world that so hates you that you have to literally say to other people, ‘my life matters?’” She mocks a response of the “white people” saying that every life matters and then complains that blacks are being shot in the streets or being rounded up and mass incarcerated. http://rickwells.us/archives/26486.

Atheists Might Convert In Droves After They See
What Was Found In Israel
.
.
{teapartyupdate.com} ~ Unlike agnostics, who say they’re not Christians because they’re just not sure about the whole believing in God thing, Atheists refuse to believe because of a lack of proof... While extra proof of Jesus’ existence isn’t necessary to validate the deity of God or the nature of Christianity, archaeological discoveries always add more to the historicity of the Bible. Some of those finds? The tomb of Jesus’ brother, James, which was found in 2002, and the ossuary of Caiaphas, which was discovered in 1990. There’s a preponderance of evidence out there to help convince any atheist into belief. Perhaps you’ve heard of the book, A Case For Christ, written by Lee Strobel. http://teapartyupdate.com/atheists-might-convert-in-droves-after-they-see-what-was-found-in-israel/.

House Committee Approves Bill Demanding
MB Terror Designation
John Rossomando
.
{investigativeproject.org/} ~ The House Judiciary Committee passed a bill Wednesday calling on the State Department to classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group by a 17-10 party-line vote... The GOP leadership under Speaker Paul Ryano supports the legislation, a high-ranking Republican source told the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) on background. This makes floor passage more likely. The bill states that it is the "sense of Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood meets the criteria for classification as a foreign terrorist organization." http://www.investigativeproject.org/5172/house-committee-approves-bill-demanding-mb-terror.

We’re in the midst of a rebellion. The bottom and middle are pushing against the top. It’s a throwing off of old claims and it’s been going on for a while, but we’re seeing it more sharply after New Hampshire. This is not politics as usual, which by its nature is full of surprise. There’s something deep, suggestive, even epochal about what’s happening now.

I have thought for some time that there’s a kind of soft French Revolution going on in America, with the angry and blocked beginning to push hard against an oblivious elite. It is not only political. Yes, it is about the Democratic National Committee, that house of hacks, and about a Republican establishment owned by the donor class. But establishment journalism, which for eight months has been simultaneously at Donald slump-Trump’s feet “Of course you can call us on your cell from the bathtub for your Sunday show interview!” and at his throat “slump-Trump supporters, many of whom are nativists and nationalists . . .” is being rebelled against too. Their old standing as guides and gatekeepers? Gone, and not only because of multiplying platforms. Gloria Steinem thought she owned feminism, thought she was feminism. She doesn’t and isn’t. The Clintons thought they owned the party—they don’t. Hedge-funders thought they owned the GOP. Too bad they forgot to buy the base!

All this goes hand in hand with the general decline of America’s faith in its institutions. We feel less respect for almost all of them—the church, the professions, the presidency, the Supreme Court. The only formal national institution that continues to score high in terms of public respect 72% in the most recent Gallup poll is the military.

A few years ago I gave a lecture to a class at West Point, the text of which was: You are entering the only U.S. institution left standing. Your prime responsibility throughout your careers will be to keep it respected. I then told them about the Dreyfus case. They had not heard of it. I explained how that scandal rocked public faith in a previously exalted institution, the French army, doing it and France lasting damage. And so your personal integrity is of the utmost importance, I said, as day by day that integrity creates the integrity of the military. The cadets actually listened to that part.

I mention this to say we are in a precarious position in the U.S. with so many of our institutions going down. Many of those pushing against the system have no idea how precarious it is or what they will be destroying. Those defending it don’t know how precarious its position is or even what they’re defending, or why. But people lose respect for a reason.

To New Hampshire: The rejection of the establishment’s preferred candidates in both major parties is a big moment. It is also understandable, the result of 15 years of failed presidencies. It is a gesture of rebuke toward the political class—move aside.

It’s said this is the year of anger but there’s a kind of grim practicality to slump-Trump and Sanders supporters. They’re thinking: Let’s take a chance. Washington is incapable of reform or progress; it’s time to reach outside. Let’s take a chance on an old Brooklyn socialist. Let’s take a chance on the casino developer who talks on TV.

In doing so, they accept a decline in traditional political standards. You don’t have to have a history of political effectiveness anymore; you don’t even have to have run for office! “You’re so weirdly outside the system, you may be what the system needs.”

They are pouring their hope into uncertain vessels, and surely know it. Bernie Sanders is an actual radical: He would fundamentally change an economic system that imperfectly but for two centuries made America the wealthiest country in the history of the world. In the young his support is understandable: They have never been taught anything good about capitalism and in their lifetimes have seen it do nothing—nothing—to protect its own reputation.

It is middle-aged Sanders supporters who are more interesting. They know what they’re turning their backs on. They know they’re throwing in the towel. My guess is they’re thinking something like: Don’t aim for great now, aim for safe. Terrorism, a world turning upside down, my kids won’t have it better—let’s just try to be safe, more communal.

A shrewdness in Sanders and slump-Trump backers: They share one faith in Washington, and that is in its ability to wear anything down. They think it will moderate Bernie, take the edges off slump-Trump. For thus reason they don’t see their choices as so radical.

As for Mr. slump-Trump, it is not without meaning that his supporters have had eight months to measure the cost of satisfying their anger by voting for him. In New Hampshire, 35% of the electorate decided that for all his drama and uncertainty they would back him.

The mainstream journalistic mantra is that the GOP is succumbing to nativism, nationalism and the culture of celebrity. That allows them to avoid taking seriously Mr. slump-Trump’s issues: illegal immigration and Washington’s 15-year, bipartisan refusal to stop it; political correctness and how it is strangling a free people; and trade policies that have left the American working class displaced, adrift and denigrated. Mr. slump-Trump’s popularity is propelled by those issues and enabled by his celebrity.

In winning, Donald slump-Trump threw over the GOP donor class. Political professionals don’t fully appreciate that, but normal Americans see it. They get that the guy with money just slapped silly the guys with money. Every hedge-fund billionaire donor should be blinking in pain. Some investment!

This leads me to Citizens United. Conservatives applauded that Supreme Court decision because it allowed Republicans to counter the effect of union money that goes to Democrats. But Citizens United gave the rich too much sway in the GOP. The party was better off when it relied on Main Street. It meant they had to talk to Main Street.

Mr. slump-Trump is a clever man with his finger on the pulse, but his political future depends on two big questions. The first is: Is he at all a good man? Underneath the foul mouthed flamboyance is he in it for America? The second: Is he fully stable? He acts like a nut, calling people bimbos, flying off the handle with grievances. Is he mature, reliable? Is he at all a steady hand?

Political professionals think these are side questions. “Let’s accuse him of not being conservative!” But they are the issue. Because America doesn’t deliberately elect people it thinks base, not to mention crazy.

Anyway, we are in some kind of moment. Congratulations to the establishments of both parties for getting us here. They are the authors of the rebellion; they are a prime thing being rebelled against.

Connected to that, something I’ve noticed. In Washington there used to be a widespread cliché: “God protects drunks, children and the United States of America.” I’m in Washington a lot, and I’ve noticed no one says that anymore. They stopped 10 or 15 years ago. I wonder what that means.
