Zhao Yingmin, China’s Vice-Minister of Ecology and Environment, demanded that developed countries pay poor countries the $100 billion in reparations promised by the Paris Accord for the damages done by global pollution. The roster of proposed recipients of this $100 billion includes China. Ironically, China is currently spewing out more pollution than any other country. The chance for China’s demands being met seem slim since the Trump Administration has withdrawn US participation in the Paris Accord. Nevertheless, Zhao denounced “this unilateral rejection of an agreement made by his predecessor,” labeled Trump’s action “a crime against humanity,” and called efforts to...

On Joy Reid's MSNBC show today, MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance went on a rant about Trump's pardoning of Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher and other members of the military. Among other things, speaking of the Telly Savalas character in The Dirty Dozen—a murderer and rapist—Nance said:"It's almost as if Donald Trump thought, 'hey, that's my favorite character!' He has a mindset of where he thinks his personal toughness is men doing horrible things." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

UK: Man who used sledgehammer to smash windows of mosques turns out to be Shia targeting Sunnis DEC 1, 2019 3:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER LEAVE A COMMENT How many of these attacks on mosques were presented by the political and media elites as instances of “Islamophobia”? In any case, the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad, having been fought for fourteen centuries in Muslim countries, has now come to diverse Britain. How far gone is Britain? This far gone: the non-Muslims are aware of Sunni-Shia hostility, and fear the consequences. In 2014, an 84-year-old non-Muslim, Kenneth Peters, who lived in a Shi’ite area,...

Germany: Muslim migrant rapes woman in car with police close by DEC 1, 2019 12:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER Why does this keep happening? One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring...

Marxist takeover strategy that, left unchallenged, will alter the country forever I’m aware that not every Millennial is a nut job. There are a multitude serving our country overseas, in responsible positions, right here, helping to right the ship of state, and large numbers of millennials just working by the rules to make a life for themselves. But, we are in trouble, big trouble, and we had better deal with it. Millennials were born between 1981 - 1996. That makes them between 23 and 38 years old. They have been well indoctrinated in the Marxist religion disguised as liberalism since...

Rivalry week in college football is still underway, with cross state foes taking on each other across the country. Earlier today, one of the marquee match-ups involved Ohio State playing Michigan. While the game wasn’t very competitive, something one of the TV announcers said has leftists up in arms. Gus Johnson apparently had the audacity to share that star running back J.K. Dobbins was almost aborted by his mother but that she chose life. Obviously, this has allowed Dobbins to not only live, which is pretty important alone, but also grow into the successful young man he is today. For...

So, who is Governor Brian Kemp and why would he choose a globalist like Kelly Loeffler? Georgians want to know - and so do I Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is poised to select Kelly Loeffler to replace Georgia’s retiring Republican Senator Johnny Isakson. Kemp’s choice has provoked vehement opposition from conservative Georgians and the White House. Why is Kemp’s choice so controversial? For starters, President Trump helped Kemp get elected, and POTUS has made it widely known his preference to fill the senate vacancy is conservative Rep. Doug Collins.

Adam Schiff is helping the very person he wants to destroy, President Trump, with such a misguided and failed mission Since the beginning of the Ringside Politics TV and radio shows, we have enjoyed an annual Thanksgiving tradition of awarding our “Turkey of the Year” to recognize individuals who distinguished themselves in a particularly foolish way. It seems appropriate since turkeys are commonly regarded as one of the most dim-witted animals on the planet.

As beloved as they were, Lincoln and Reagan are long gone. But President Trump—the last man standing—is still here fighting to put America and its people first If Ronald Reagan were running in the 2020 presidential election, he’d be swiftly elected, then more than swiftly, impeached. Ditto for Abraham Lincoln, other worthy leaders and anyone—or any thing—standing in the Democrats’ way.

Now that he’s leading in the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire Democratic presidential contender South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is reported to be mulling over possible running mates. Rumored front runner is former National Football League quarterback Colin Kaepernick. “Kaepernick is a man of unrivaled courage,” Buttigieg said. “His willingness to kneel while thousands of others stood for the National Anthem was beyond brave. It cost him his job and millions of dollars. That’s a far higher price than any other protester has paid. I think voters who believe in justice would relish the opportunity to elect him as...

And they should knowThere’s so much out there that I occasionally lose track of some of my favorites, like Daniel Greenfield. This is his latest from Frontpage Magazine: WASHINGTON POST: AMERICANS BELIEVING THE MEDIA IS A “PATRIOTIC”* DUTY: Margaret Sullivan has been melting down for a while. But this meltdown, as the public backs further away from impeachment, is truly glorious.“I don’t know what to believe’ is an unpatriotic cop-out.

Open borders for everyone.More from Sullivan:If every...

Mexico's $250 million in Frozen Drug Cartel Assets is Chump Change. When a 1960s US Congressman died with $3.5 million under his bed, a that time it was a cause for outrage. But now, the US and Mexican political cultures have both come to accept that politics is a path to riches. "You can't get rich in politics unless you're a crook", Kansas City mob-boss Tom Pendergast associate, President Harry S Truman allegedly remarked. A Google response to the question "how much is Obama worth", openly admits, $40 million.Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador says Mexico will deal with Narcotraficantes...

This damn Trump economy just refuses to cooperate with all the “experts.” – This Black Friday was, at least according to all the “experts” quoted by cable news operations an the nation’s other corrupt media outlets, supposed to be a down year. According to their joint narrative with the Democrat Party, the Trump Economy was supposed to be lurching along into a new recession, one that would arrive just in time to impact President Trump’s chances for re-election in 2020. Given that 2/3rds of U.S. Gross Domestic Product – GDP – is derived from consumer spending, this media/Democrat/”experts” narrative meant...

India: Couple converts to Islam, goes to Afghanistan to become Islamic State jihadis DEC 1, 2019 8:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER Authorities the world over remain wholly indifferent to the recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam turning to hatred and violence. If even a tenth of the converts to Christianity followed a similar path, it would be international news for weeks. But no one will take any notice of this. “Kerala: Nimisha and Bexin both convert to Islam and become ISIS terrorists, located in Afghanistan,” OpIndia, November 28, 2019: Three people part of a group who had left the country...

Judge finds that Muslima arrested in New Mexico jihad compound has “mental disease,” unfit to stand trial DEC 1, 2019 9:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER Here we see the all-purpose “mental illness” deflection being used to aid a jihadi in evading responsibility for her crimes. It has happened many times before. What do you bet they all walk before this is over? Given the current political climate regarding jihad terrorism, this is quite possible, even likely. “Terrorism suspect hospitalized,” by John Miller, Taos News, October 24, 2019: A U.S. District Court judge in Albuquerque has ordered one of the five...

Conservative commentator and frequent Fox News contributor Dan Bongino is launching a news aggregator called "Bongino Report," as a competing alternative to the popular Drudge Report, the Daily Caller reported. Bongino made several tweets promoting his new project on Wednesday, saying "Tired of Drudge? Get ready, the Bongino Report is almost ready for launch," and, "Drudge has abandoned you. I NEVER will." He added later, "We will be featuring exclusively conservative and libertarian content. In other words, real news. Don't miss the Bongino Report, coming very soon." [snip]

Last month, NBC Nightly News aired a segment on the latest classroom-management technique to sweep America’s schools: “room clears”: When a child throws a tantrum that could physically endanger his peers, teachers evacuate all of the other students from the classroom until the troublemaker has vented his rage upon empty desks, tables and chairs. The technique was virtually unheard of five years ago. But 56 percent of surveyed teachers and parents in Oregon now report having experienced a room clear in their or their child’s classroom over the last year. Surrendering the classroom to a single student: The average reader...

Members of the House Intelligence Committee will begin reviewing a report Monday on the panel's investigation of President Donald Trump's efforts to press Ukraine to investigate his Democratic adversaries, a crucial step in the House's fast-moving impeachment inquiry. Lawmakers on the panel will get a 24-hour review period, according to internal guidance sent to committee members and obtained by POLITICO. On Tuesday, the panel is expected to approve the findings - likely on a party-line vote - teeing it up for consideration by the Judiciary Committee, which is in turn expected to draft and consider articles of impeachment in the...

Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador warned President Trump against taking military action against the vicious drug and human smuggling cartels that control the Mexican side of the United States' southern border. "These cartels reside on our sovereign soil," he pointed out. "Therefore, it is our prerogative to decide what to do about them." "The situation is more complicated than Mr. Trump's simplistic observation that the cartels murder people," Lopez said. "Generally, murder is a bad thing. On the other hand, these cartels bring a lot of US dollars into our country and that is a good thing. Trying to...
