The media loves nothing more than to stir up controversy for ratings and clicks. As expected, almost every mainstream news outlet seized the opportunity to make a mountain out of a mole hill and to fan the flames of resentment. What I didn’t expect (but probably should have), was the reactions of fellow small and big C conservatives. Rather than defend the protesters, or stay silent, they shot their mouths off and rode their high horses straight into the battle.

Swamp, Draining
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, a longtime foe of the Obama administration’s environmental regulations, is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to reports. […]
He has sued Obama to challenge nearly all of his major environmental regulations, such as the landmark climate rule for power plants, as well as water rules and standards for ground-level ozone pollution, haze, methane and more.
If confirmed by the Senate, Pruitt would oversee what is likely to be a major deregulation effort at the EPA.

“Brad Trost Embraces ‘lock her up’ protest in Edmonton”
#LockHerUp: “When normal politicians change their minds we label it flip-flopping or – more kindly – “evolving” in their thinking. When a Master Persuader does it, you are seeing pacing and leading, which is a major tool of persuasion. Pacing involves matching people – in this case emotionally – and later using that bond to lead them.”

Pearl Harbor: 75 Years Ago Today
Steve Twomey, of Smithsonian Magazine, has written a comprehensive article of what happened on December 7, 1941 and the months leading up to it. Highly recommended!

How the Oppressors Paint Themselves as Victims
Anthea Butler is a professor at the universities of Pennsylvania and Rochester. She recently wrote this op-ed:
The release of the professor watchlist, purporting to expose professors who discriminate against conservative students, is anything but that. I should know: I’m on it.
As one of a handful of religion professors in the US who study, write and teach about conservative Christianity and politics, I am all too aware of the real meaning of the list, and of its purpose. Promoted by Turning Point USA, the list is not simply designed to expose professors who discriminate; it is designed to silence and smear. And it helps feed information and screeds to similar sites like the College Fix and Campus Reform, which states that they are “a watchdog to the nation’s higher education system” to “expose bias and abuse on the nations college campuses”.
Sounds like she is being unfairly singled out, yes? But a simple Google search reveals some independent reviews from past students. But there’s more. And more. And even more.

The Tolerant Left
This is the problem with their philosophy in a nutshell. It’s based on a hunch. That’s it. No fact checking. No consternation. No debate. Just a videogame plot based on what makes them feel like a hero. The ones who became educated in these fields at the various Hunch Universities across the country are even more irritating. They’re just able to use more made-up words to describe their made-up universe.
Christmas Carol
Via long time SDA reader John, a Christmas book plug;
The illustration of the Dickens’ Christmas Carol, was a labor of love for Steve … Dickens being his favorite author.
Each day for five years Steve came home from work and spent his evenings and week-ends doing the frames that would become a wonderful Christmas gift and an annual coffee table presentation.
The art work was entirely done using ink and a quill pen to keep it authentic to the period. In addition, the book is bound in a way that was common in Dickens time.
The books contain approximately 80 pages of beautiful detailed art work and dialog. A nice read to the kids during the holidays …. Kids will like the pictures as they are cartoon-like as kids would see them.
The books are going this year for $50 plus shipping. No tax. They come in a gift box for your convenience. They do make great gifts for the ‘hard to buy for’ folks.The books are on currently for sale at the Pentiction Art Gallery and a couple of places in Kelowna.
Steve will take orders through his Boo-Ink FB site.
Steve’s childhood nickname was Boo Boo … thus ‘Boo Ink’. Steve is about to turn 60 in Feb and is now retired in the Okanagan Valley … from the chilly Edmonton.
Update — if you want to avoid Facebook, Steve’s email is stevievossos@gmail.com

“Uh oh,” former Bush administration White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer tweeted. “I wasn’t even allowed to refer to the gvt ‘of’ Taiwan. (I could say gvt ‘on’ Taiwan.) China will go nuts.”

97% Of Scientists Agree With Keeping Their Heads Down
So what did wikileaks reveal? Among other things, an email from ThinkProgress chief editor Judd Legum to major Democratic donor (and climate warrior) Tom Steyer bragging about how he had successfully trolled FiveThirtyEight statistical analysis website proprietor Nate Silver into getting rid of Pielke. Why go after Pielke? Because he had published an article at 538 based on his research daring to point out that so far climate change had not boosted “normalized” property damage. Normalized basically means taking into account the fact that as a result of economic and population growth there is more property and lives at risk from bad weather.
More: And when it comes to pattern recognition, I see the climate science skeptics within the scientific community as being similar to Shy Trump Supporters. The fact that a majority of scientists agree with climate science either means the evidence is one-sided or the social/economic pressures are high. And as we can plainly see, the cost of disagreeing with climate science is unreasonably high if you are a scientist.
