    China to ban citizens with bad ‘social credit’ rating from taking flights or using trains for up to a year

    China said it will begin applying its so-called social credit system to flights and trains and stop people who have committed misdeeds from taking such transport for up to a year.
    People who would be put on the restricted lists included those found to have committed acts like spreading false information about terrorism and causing trouble on flights, as well as those who used expired tickets or smoked on trains, according to two statements issued on the National Development and Reform Commission’s website on Friday.
    Those found to have committed financial wrongdoings, such as employers who failed to pay social insurance or people who have failed to pay fines, would also face these restrictions, said the statements which were dated 2 March.

  3. The Obama gov’t had a habit of favouring the bad guys:
    —————–
    On Wednesday, acting FBI deputy director David Bowdich testified during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that former President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice forced the FBI to delete over 500,000 fugitives, who had outstanding arrest warrants, from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
    “It’s my understanding that under federal law fugitives cannot legally purchase or possess guns,” Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) began. “We’ve heard from local law enforcement that the Justice Department has issued a memo that forced the FBI NICS background check database to drop more than 500,000 names of fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants because it was uncertain whether those fugitives had fled across state lines.”
    “Mr. Bowdich, can you describe why this determination was made by the Justice Department?” Feinstein asked.
    “That was a decision that was made under the previous administration,” Bowdich replied. “It was the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel that reviewed the law and believed that it needed to be interpreted so that if someone was a fugitive in a state, there had to be indications that they had crossed state lines.”

    “One man has died and nearly 100 people have had to spend the night in a school after heavy snowfall over the weekend.
    A climber fell more than 60 metres to his death in the Lake District on Saturday and the wintry conditions forced the closure of a lengthy stretch of road in south-west England on Sunday, meaning many people had to be taken to a rest centre in a school.”
    “In North Yorkshire, 30 runners were treated for hypothermia in “appalling wintry conditions” during a 55-mile ultramarathon on Saturday.”

    “Since 2008, 0.24°C Of ‘Extra’ Warming Has Been Added To NASA’s 1910-2000 Global Temperatures
    In the last 10 years, overseers of the NASA GISS global temperature data set have been busy utilizing cool-the-past-and-warm-the-present adjustment techniques to alter the slope of the overall warming trend.
    For example, as the climate4you graph illustrates above, there was a +0.45°C difference between the 1910 temperature anomaly and the 2000 temperature anomaly as of May, 2008.
    Today (March, 2018), NASA GISS has tendentiously adjusted up the difference between 1910 and 2000 to +0.69°C, a 53% increase.
    The +0.5°C Warming Between 1880-1950 Has Been Erased
    Changes to past data consistently serve to cool down the past and warm up the present.
    As recently as 1987, for example, NASA GISS reported a warming trend of +0.5°C between 1880 and 1950.”

    “Global warming on trial and the elementary error of physics that caused the global warming scare
    By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley
    This will be a long posting, but it will not be found uninteresting.
    Global warming on trial: Global warming goes on trial at 8.00 am this Wednesday, 21 March 2018, in Court 8 on the 19th floor of the Federal Building at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco.
    Court 8 is the largest of the courtrooms in the Federal District Court of Northern California. They’re clearly expecting a crowd. The 8 am start, rather than the usual 10 am, is because the judge in the case is an early bird.
    The judge: His Honor Judge William Haskell Alsup, who will preside over the coyly-titled “People of California” v. British Petroleum plc et al., is not to be underestimated. Judge Alsup, as the senior member of the Northern California Bench (he has been there for almost two decades), gets to pick the cases he likes the look of. He is no ordinary, custard-faced law graduate. Before he descended to the law (he wanted to help the civil rights movement), he earned a B.S. in engineering at Mississippi State University.”

  26. juxtapositioning mention of new democraps and unionboy always reminds me of the cockamamy pronouncement by the then leader of the CAW one buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hargrove clucking about ‘strategic voting’.
    it blew up in his face.
    mainly because ‘strategic’ voting is a process of highly selected individual ridings where marginal votes make all the difference, kinda like the LIEberal supporting in east hamilton COULD have turfed sheila ‘titmouse’ copps in order to HEAVE the bloc from official opposition. THAT is *strategic*.
    leftism truly does exhibit signs of a medical malady.
