Reader Tips

Geez, even when you know that the MSM is in the tank for the prog/Dem narrative, even when you see egregious examples of it every day, the level of over-the-top bias still amazes:

In March and April, MSNBC's primetime hosts ran with nearly wall-to-wall coverage of the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin. They regularly suggested that the lack of national interest in the case was worthy of outrage. Last week, when an avalanche of new evidence favorable to George Zimmerman came to light, MSNBC’s primetime lineup didn’t just bury the story, they didn’t mention Martin or Zimmerman once.

Top Scientists Vent on NASA’s Sub Prime Greenhouse Gas Hoaxer

http://principia-scientific.org/supportnews/latest-news/142-top-scientists-vent-on-nasas-sub-prime-greenhouse-gas-hoaxer

Climatologist James Hansen is under sustained attack accused of global warming fraud at a time when the powerful science journal, Nature admits “research is riddled with systematic errors.”

The Nature article (May 9) marks a defining critical moment as a slew of top scientists openly attack climate activist, Professor James Hansen, the head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Science (GISS). Since the 1980′s Hansen has been at the forefront of claims that human emissions of carbon dioxide are “catastrophically” warming our planet. For his ceaseless alarmism Hansen has been named and shamed by, among others, the U.S. Government’s premier extreme weather expert, Martin Hoerling (of sister U.S. Government agency, NOAA) who calls Hansen’s science “patently false” and “policy more than it is science.”

As Nature states, “Alarming cracks are starting to penetrate deep into the scientific edifice.” Although the article baulked at naming and shaming Hansen, the beleaguered spokesman of climate alarmism nonetheless immediately rushed to defend himself in an OpEd in The New York Times (May 10). But Hansen was then summarily shot down the following day when a damning set of doctored graphs was released implicating him as fraudster-in-chief of the U.S. and global temperature records – all perpetrated while Hansen was pocketing millions for his sub-prime science.

...But an even more worrying aspect of Hansen’s science is his astonishing claim that Earth receives an additional 33 degrees Celsius of heat due to the so-called greenhouse gas effect. Hansen and fellow GHE believers say this additional 33 degrees is due to our atmosphere creating a “blanket effect” so that Earth is “warmer than it would otherwise be.”

But independent scientists have shown that this “blanket effect” warming is bogus, being merely the product of a statistical trick – all achieved by Hansen crassly opting to model Earth as a flat disk. As such Hansen is a true “flat earther” – ironically this is the charge he and other alarmists make against skeptics all the time. Critics claim that by “simple physical analysis” it can be shown that treating Earth as a flat disk rather than as a 3-Dimensional rotating sphere Hansen hid a gross calculating “error” – the mixing of two incompatible mathematical variables – scalars and vectors...

'slick willie' hosts worst party ever...make that second worst, he hosted the democrat's house party for 8 years and the whole world is still trying to recover from that one

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9285126/Bill-Clintons-glamorous-fundraiser-called-worst-party-ever-by-angry-guests.html

Attendees complained the underground venue “stank”, with perspiration “dripping off the walls” and the rooms too crowded to even see the former president.

One, who called it the “worst party ever” described how “angry people” were waiting in the queue outside while high-profile guests were admitted, and another condemned the event as “unpleasant”.

The evening had been intended as a fundraising event for the Clinton Foundation Millennium Network, which was set up to “encourage the next generation to address global challenges”.

Hollande's France explained in one photo.

From theospark:

"This photo was taken at the Place de la Bastille in Paris, during theelection celebration for the comrade socialist president Hollande. See any French flags? Anywhere? Actually, there is ONE towards the bottom right. The other flags are in order of appurtenance, Palestinian (2 flags top right & one centre left),Algerian, Turkish (towards center), Syrian (towards left of pic + below Palestinian flag), Moroccan (w. star in center), and European Union flag. The other flags I can’t recognize, there are also Syndicates or Unions’ flags. That's France in a nutshell.

...when the management at Platinum Athletic Club in Surrey, B.C., refused to make an exception to its dress code allowing only athletic shoes in April 2011, Mr. Wollenberg sensed a human rights violation. And B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal has now agreed, ruling the footwear discrimination injurious to Mr. Wollenberg’s “dignity, feelings and self respect.”

Forgot to mention that the footwear in question (above) was a pair of hiking boots.

European judges have ruled that Britain must allow prisoners to vote or face having to pay £150million in compensation to those prisoners.

"A leading constitutional expert said the issue at stake was whether the UK remained in control of its own destiny or took orders from a remote foreign court. Dr Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, an ex-member of the Coalition's own human rights commission, said: 'The principal issue is not whether prisoners are allowed to vote but whether the rules are set by a directly elected parliament or a group of European judges.'"

The Ailment

"As a result of Germany's green energy transition, electricity prices are exploding. Consumers and businesses are paying the price while Germany faces gradual de-industrialisation. Economists estimate that the cost of the green energy transition will total 170 billion Euros by 2020. This is more than double of what Germany would have to write off if Greece were to withdraw from the monetary union."

The Virus:

"Today it is obvious that Merkel has promised too much. Energy prices in Germany are increasing dramatically - by 57 percent in just the past ten years - and not least because the state is one of the biggest drivers of cost. Taxes and duties on electricity prices have now risen to 23.7 billion Euros p.a. - an increase of just over 1,000 percent within 15 years. The levies on electricity look more like a special energy tax, which is higher than the revenue from tobacco and motor vehicle taxes combined."

...there has been explosive growth in several sectors of the radical right, especially in the last few years, much of it driven by anger over the diminishing white majority

...As a result of all these developments and others, a new crop of leaders has come to the fore. Some are longtime activists of the radical right, but others have become active only in recent years. What follows is an alphabetized series of short profiles of key men and women activists of the radical right — 30 to watch.

Malik Zulu Shabazz

Date of Birth: 1966
Groups: New Black Panther Party
Location: Washington, D.C.
Ideology: Black Separatist
Although he’s sometimes identified in the mainstream media as a mere “legal adviser” or “community organizer,” Malik Shabazz is a racist black nationalist with a long, well-documented history of violently anti-Semitic remarks and accusations about the inherent evil of white people. He is also particularly skilled at orchestrating provocative protests. Ousted from the Nation of Islam after he became an embarrassment even to that hard-line group, Shabazz went on to take up the leadership of the New Black Panther Party.

A good article in the National Review on how we should be using the moral argument to support free enterprise.

"Data-laden material arguments for free enterprise have been tried again and again. They have failed to stem the tide of big government.

There’s only one kind of argument that will shake people awake: a moral one.

A lot of people are reluctant to talk about morals, or to make a moral case for anything in politics and policy. We’re willing to talk about principles, perhaps. Values, maybe. But morals? Even for many conservatives, morality evokes unpleasant memories of the “culture wars” of the 1990s. As a result, many who believe in free enterprise steer clear of all moral arguments.

This is a mistake and a missed opportunity. A great deal of research shows that all people demand a system that is morally legitimate, not just efficient. Research in fields from neuroscience to social psychology has shown that moral arguments are more powerful and persuasive, and are processed by the brain more quickly, than material arguments. That, in a nutshell, is why your bulletproof argument about the national debt will always lose when pitted against a an anecdote about a family living in a dumpster because their welfare benefits were taken away."

snip

"They should denounce the policies of the current welfare state not just as inefficient, but as unfair and immoral. A tax code riddled with special deals for crony corporations is unfair. It is unfair to bail out companies and individuals who made bad decisions and took foolish risks. There is nothing fair about the fact that bureaucrats get better pay and benefits than private-sector workers. Most unfair of all is the theft we are perpetrating on future generations with our ruinous national debt."

Senate Democrats pay female staffers less than male staffers

http://freebeacon.com/senate-dems-betray-lilly/

A group of Democratic female senators on Wednesday declared war on the so-called “gender pay gap,” urging their colleagues to pass the aptly named Paycheck Fairness Act when Congress returns from recess next month. However, a substantial gender pay gap exists in their own offices, a Washington Free Beacon analysis of Senate salary data reveals.

Of the five senators who participated in Wednesday’s press conference—Barbara Mikulski (D., Md.), Patty Murray (D., Wash.), Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) and Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.)—three pay their female staff members significantly less than male staffers.

Murray, who has repeatedly accused Republicans of waging a “war a women,” is one of the worst offenders. Female members of Murray’s staff made about $21,000 less per year than male staffers in 2011, a difference of 35.2 percent.

That is well above the 23 percent gap that Democrats claim exists between male and female workers nationwide. The figure is based on a 2010 U.S. Census Bureau report, and is technically accurate. However, as CNN’s Lisa Sylvester has reported, when factors such as area of employment, hours of work, and time in the workplace are taken into account, the gap shrinks to about 5 percent.

A significant “gender gap” exists in Feinstein’s office, where women also made about $21,000 less than men in 2011, but the percentage difference—41 percent—was even higher than Murray’s.

The employee gender pay gap among Senate Democrats was not limited to Murray, Boxer, and Feinstein. Of the 50 members of the Senate Democratic caucus examined in the analysis, 37 senators paid their female staffers less than male staffers.
