The media spin on President Elect Donald J. Trump’s sit down with the New York Times on November 22, can only be described as dishonest. Trump appears to soften stance on climate change & Donald Trump backflips on climate change & Trump on climate change in major U-turn
The ‘fake news’ that Trump had somehow moderated or changed his “global warming” views was not supported by the full transcript of the meeting.

The Company They Keep
Oh, Shiny Librano!
One potato, two potato, three potato, whore.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the top draw at a $1,500 Liberal Party cash-for-access fundraiser at the mansion of a wealthy Chinese-Canadian business executive in May. One of the guests at the event was a well-heeled donor who was seeking Ottawa’s final approval to begin operating a new bank aimed at Canada’s Chinese community.
The Globe and Mail has learned that wealthy Chinese businessman Zhang Bin who, with a partner, donated $1-million to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal Faculty of Law weeks after the fundraiser, also attended the event. Mr. Zhang is a political adviser to the Chinese government in Beijing and a senior apparatchik in the network of Chinese state promotional activities around the world.

Here, Tell These People Something They Don’t Know About Me
Ok, one more time.
Here is what the cosmopolitan class still does not get: It’s not just Donald Trump you are making fun of it, is people outside your circle, it is the voters whose sentiments and values that have been the punch line of Hollywood’s jokes for their entire lives.
And along comes this guy who finally says enough is enough, and they like it, said retired business executive Bill Englert, of New Kensington, Penn. “Trump is standing up for the so called deplorables, intolerables and irredeemables excoriated by Hillary and the left,” he said.
At the Golden Dawn restaurant bar in Youngtown, a group of fraternity brothers, a mix of both Trump and Clinton supporters, all agreed that what people like about Trump is that he emotes strength, stands up for himself, and — most of all — irritates reporters.
There is no subtlety in the elite’s perception of the rest of the country; they don’t think you respect them, or view them as equal.

Deep Impact
2016: The year everything changed for legacy media:
“Jared understood the online world in a way the traditional media folks didn’t. He managed to assemble a presidential campaign on a shoestring using new technology and won. That’s a big deal,” says Schmidt, the Google billionaire. “Remember all those articles about how they had no money, no people, organizational structure? Well, they won, and Jared ran it.”
The Tolerant Left
Peaceful transition of power: “I’ve had people talk about shoving a gun in my mouth and blowing my brains out. And I’ve received dozens and dozens of those emails. Even the non-threatening-my-life emails are very aggressive.”
Wynneing!
Satire, just another victim of government:
Ontario’s monopolistic booze retailer, the LCBO, is hosting a pop-up bar on Toronto’s Queen Street West featuring a popular chef, a DJ flying in from London, England — and absolutely no alcohol. […]
Senior communications consultant Silvana Aceto said Bar Zero is one part of a $1.47 million campaign that will include a TV commercial, digital and social media ads, and in-store signage as part of an attempt to promote non-alcoholic drinks.

Wind and Solar Stocks Enter Freefall
Shares of the nation’s largest maker of solar panels, First Solar, fell 6.5 percent the day after the election and shares of another large solar power manufacturer, SunPower, dropped approximately 18 percent. Stocks in the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturer, Vestas Wind Systems, fell as much as 14 percent in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s election before settling 6.6 percent lower at the close of business. About 41.3 percent of Vestas’ revenue comes from the Americas.
Based on his public statements, stock market analysts expect a Trump administration to take steps to expand the use of fossil fuels and deemphasize renewable power.

Sunday Evening Comedy
Thanks to a tip from C_Miner, here is 30 minutes of pure delight, watching the smug, arrogant Young Turks coverage of the 2016 Presidential Campaign. Then fun starts about 3 minutes in but do watch it from the beginning and see the smiles wiped off of the face of Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and their minions. Also pay attention to Uygur’s anger & swearing go from 1 to 11 in mere minutes. It’s a beautiful thing!
Imagine being in a relationship with one of these conceited, pompous, self-righteous, egotistical snobs. How could you EVER have a reasonable discussion?!
Around 17 minutes in, Uygur threatens to tour the Red States and teach people there how to think. Just envision how that’s going to work.
