The incumbent’s administration may have already sunk lower than that of Jimmy Carter, who till now is thought by many to be the worst POTUS in history. The nation’s GDP, for example, shrank to -2.9 percent in this year’s first-quarter, with economic output declining at the fastest pace since 2009.
 
Adding that to the incredible mistakes in foreign policy indicates that there are no areas of governance in which the nation’s being led satisfactorily. But, if that isn’t bad news enough, the IRS scandal may surpass Watergate as the worst in U.S. history.
 
Yet, through it all, the incumbent still places global warming as his highest priority. In fact, as noted by Fox’s Chris Stirewalt this morning, “Tom Steyer, the billionaire Democrat who is bankrolling his party’s effort to hold on to the Senate, will be an honored guest at the White House today at an event to highlight Steyer’s key issue of global warming – which is not just his personal  pet topic, but also the backbone of his corporate empire.”
 
And what’s most interesting is the last five words –“backbone of his corporate empire,” which says it all. Because, I’m sure that even Mr. Steyer knows that average temperatures haven’t changed at all in the last seventeen years. Thus one would have to assume money, not climate change, has to be the key issue as it is with AlGore.
 
On the other hand though, there’s a staunch Democrat supporter you hear very little about lately from the White House, Warren Buffett. Which is perhaps because of a March 7 interview  on CNBC’s Squawk Box where he said:
 
“[T]he effects of global warming had little impact on the businesses he has invested in and to the contrary, he finds them to be as profitable as ever. According to many media reports, he has not only denied that extreme weather conditions were related to global warming, but also has rebuked an important talking point of the Obama presidency. By doing this, in essence he has been interpreted to dispel what many in the conservative circles deem as the ‘liberal myth of climate change.’
 
The reason Mr. Buffet’s comments bear extremely significant weight is that, “As CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, he owns several insurance companies. In his assessment, climate change has had a negligent effect on the insurance market and premiums are not set to increase within the next three to five years. Contrary to popular belief, over the past five years the U.S has been relatively free from devastating hurricanes and there have only been slightly more tornadoes.”
 
Furthermore “In his interview he  pointed out that with all the media buzz about climate change, people tend to associate it with a root cause for every natural disaster that has occurred within the last ten years. However, people tend to forget that there were plenty of such incidents 30,40 or even 50 years ago.”
 
Which brings us to another example of the way Democrats exempt themselves from facts when presenting their purported positions and claims. 
 
The Weekly Standard reports that, Bill Clinton’s wife “will be getting $225,000 to speak at a university fundraiser later this year.”
 
However, “Students at the same school, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have recently been outraged that the institution is raising tuition by a staggering 17 percent.”
 
So, wouldn’t you think that someone proclaiming to be so concerned about the plight of our nation’s youth ought to consider appearing at greatly reduced cost, or even free of charge.
 
Meanwhile, doing damage control, former President Bill Clinton tried to defend his wife by crediting her rapid rise into the economic stratosphere to “hard work,” while the family’s raked in an estimated $155 million since leaving the White House in 2001. Although, he did say that his wife’s claims of hardship were not the “most adept.”
 
Nonetheless, the Clinton’s hometown, Chappaqua, N.Y., was recently ranked as having the fifth-wealthiest Zip Code in the nation.
 
And through it all, one thing remains consistent regarding the Clinton’s. Whether it’s Bill lying to Congress under oath about affairs with White House interns or his wife talking about Whitewater, Benghazi or being “dead broke,” the one thing you’ll never get from either is the actual truth.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
