Full Title:******************************************************************How accurate are findings from the frontiers of climate science? For example, about warming of the oceans.****************************************************************** By Larry Kummer. From the Fabius Maximus website.Summary:  This post looks at an often asked question about climate science — how accurate are its findings, a key factor when we make decisions about trillions of dollars (and affecting billions of people). Specifically, it examines the oceans’ heat content, a vital metric since the oceans absorbing 90%+ of global warming. How accurate are those numbers? The error bars look oddly small, especially compared to those of sea surface temperatures. This also shows how...

Has Trump forgotten how angry people are with the GOP establishment? Not only is he using establishment arguments to attack Ted Cruz, he’s now boasting that the establishment sees him as a candidate they can get behind and that they are contacting him left and right. Oh Trump. Only he would boast this as a good thing two weeks before the first Republican primary state: This is an ad in the making for Ted Cruz. Video: Donald Trupm on establishment types contacting his campaign

Farewell to the man who invented 'climate change’ To this day, global climate policy is still shaped by the agenda of Maurice Strong, a Canadian multimillionaire During the Second World War, having emerged from humble origins in the Great Depression, Strong became convinced that the new United Nations should become a world government, dedicated to ensuring that the wealth enjoyed by the richer countries of the West should be spread out around the world’s underprivileged majority. In 2005, Strong was caught having been illicitly paid $1 million from the UN’s Oil for Food programme, supposedly set up to allow Saddam...

Just got out of Benghazi 13 hours. Wow what a movie! It was evident from the start this was an accurate portrayal. The actual participants in Benghazi helped Director Michael Bay plot out the movie. At times the characters/heroes were a bit hard to follow as one bearded dude looked just like the next. But the overall story, plot and accounts were told perfectly. From the beginning of the movie until the end you can see how higher ups were stifling the contractors and CIA Agents. They also did a good job showing that each man had a family to...

I had to cringe during a particularly elitist remark that left Obama's mouth during his rteary town-hall on gun control; "I believe in the Second Amendment. It is there, written on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around -- I taught constitutional law, I know a little bit about this -- I get it." Well, a colleague of Obama's at the University of Chicago, economist John Lott quoted Obama as having told him that he doesn't believe that people should be able to own guns when...

Some years ago the Barrett report was concluded. A lot of it was redacted, but if I recall correctly, congress had full access to the report. Also, if I recall correctly, said congress could share the redacted info with the public.

Below is a list of Americans who are terrorists according to the U.S. government. These exposed government documents reveal everyone in America who is considered to be an “extremists”, a “potential terrorists” and, or, a “terrorists” in official U.S. government documents. This is only a small portion of the ‘Official’ Terrorist Watch List. Are you on the terrorist watch list? Find out now.

If you want to create an illiteracy crisis such as the one we are living through, you have to do two things. First of all, adopt ideas that do not work. Second, you have to brainwash young teachers into thinking these flawed ideas actually do work. In this way, you can manipulate your teachers into doing a bad job but they never know it. A public school teacher sent me this brief history of her decades in the classroom: "I began to notice students in the intermediate grades intermixing sight words. They would read words like ‘is’ as ‘the’…If I...

The developed world appears to be changing in the same direction, at the same time, at an alarming speed, relatively speaking. What is the common denominator and drive behind this change towards a one world global governance and global citizenship? What is rushing everything towards global socialism? How is this possible when countries have different levels of development, education, economies, government, history, religion, wars, and conflicts? The wails and demands of "equality" resound in the corridors of power and in the mainstream media around the globe. I've heard the tired-out claims that "Socialism means genuine social equality," giving "basic rights...

A fugitive who barricaded himself on his 47-acre ranch near Tool and Trinidad for 14 years no longer faces arrest. Anderson County dropped charges against John Joe Gray. He was arrested in 1999 during a traffic stop on charges of carrying a pistol without a concealed handgun license and assaulting a law enforcement officer during a scuffle that included Gray biting the officer. Gray bonded out of jail and refused to return to court to face charges, although he promised a judge he would, according to a Southern Poverty Law Center report that suggested Gray might be a member of...

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said that Republicans in Congress should look into a mirror when asking why the attack on an American consulate in Benghazi was as deadly as it was. She said that House Republicans who voted to cut security funding for overseas embassies are directly responsible for the lack of security personnel at that outpost. Boxer's claim is contradicted by testimony delivered before a Congressional Oversight Committee hearing last week. Boxer exonerated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday for any responsibility relating to the Benghazi attack, saying that it she testified before Congress in good faith...

The European Court of Human Rights has set an interesting predcedent for workplace internet use by ruling in favour of a company that accessed its employees personal online communications. In the case brought forward by Romanian national Bogdan Mihai Bărbulescu in 2007, the court argued that his employer was within its rights to access messages he had sent via Yahoo Messenger during work hours. Judges said it was legal because the employer had the right to “check the manner in which its employees complete their professional tasks”. Even though he was using Yahoo Messenger to chat with his fiancee and...

I was really looking forward to being dumber than my daughter. For the first 20 weeks of my pregnancy, my husband and I spun a collective daydream about our wise little girl: We pictured her walking through life with confidence and long, wavy hair, a perfect combination of my curly and my husband’s straight. She'd be his willing partner at museums, so gifted in math she could do her homework without my help. The dumbest, basest jokes, our favorite kind, would make her roll her eyes. The afternoon of my 20-week ultrasound, I left work early and got on the...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Barack Obama today banned private ownership of more than a quarter ounce of gold, saying the move was necessary to revive the economy. "Wealthy Americans are bailing out on the economy by taking their money out of circulation and hoarding gold," Obama said as he signed an executive order reminiscent of Depression-era President Franklin D. Roosevelt's ban on the possession of gold. "The wealthy are violating their trust and abusing their position by investing in gold," Obama said. "My order will put an immediate end to this practice, which threatens to hijack the good efforts of...

Remember the recent story about the burglar in Florida who was killed by an alligator? He was breaking into a house and the police came so he tried to escape by jumping into a lake. The gator got him. The most interesting part of the story concerns the burglar's girlfriend. You see, he called her to let her know what he was doing. He told her where he was and that he was breaking into a house to steal. How did she respond to his phone call? Did she say, "Baby, don't do this! Come home and find a job!"?...

"As strip malls go, the one you seek is nondescript, all brick exterior and maroon awnings, but there's safety in this disguise, a sense of legitimacy that comes with this out-in-the-open location. ***snip*** According to a 2014 study by the liberal-leaning think tank Urban Institute on the underground commercial sex industry in eight U.S. cities, the total industry--inclusive of Asian massage parlors, brothels, street-level prostitution and other sources--fetched between $39.9 and $290 million in 2007, depending on the city. This demand led to the opening of nearly 600 new illicit massage parlors in the U.S. from 2011 to 2013, pushing...
