An article on FoxNews.com reported that the incumbent “is currently antagonizing” war-weary voters with the air strike actions taken in Iraq. However, the position the incumbent should take on that one is: “So what?” Because his job isn’t about pleasing constituents, he’s responsible for the safety, security and well-being of the United States. 
 
Therefore, if his supporters aren’t pleased with the circumstances of war-torn allies, he needs to educate them about what’s at stake. Because their personal dissatisfaction with “war” didn’t stop terrorists from destroying the World trade Center, and isn’t going to deter from their loudly proclaimed attempts now to bring as much harm to the U.S. as possible.  
 
On a similar subject, CJ Ciaramella of the Washington Free Beacon writes that, “Monticello, New York, Democratic Mayor Gordon Jenkins—a member of Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns—was arrested Thursday on bribery charges, the latest in a long string of legal and ethical foibles by Jenkins.”
 
While “Bloomberg has pledged to spend $50 million this year to build a “grassroots” network of activists supporting his cause, according to the New York Times, Jenkins is one of many members of Mayors Against Illegal Guns to partake in illegal activity.”
 
Jenkins and Monticello Building Inspector James Snowden were arrested late last week, according the Daily Freeman. The charges included “bribe receiving” and “endangering the public health”; the mayor “was also charged with intimidating a witness, a felony, in connection with an incident in Fallsburg.”
 
Which means that, perhaps, Bloomberg does have a valid point. Because if one can commit all those felony’s listed without using weapons, guns may actually be totally unnecessary for elected crooks. 
 
Then, Curtis Kalin of CNSNews.com writes that, “Billionaire hedge-fund manager Tom Steyer attempted to explain why there is still a sizable portion of Americans that does not buy in to global warming alarmism by, basically, generalizing virtually all of America as not “super sophisticated.
 
Speaking at a climate conference hosted by the American Renewable Energy Institute, Steyer said: “I think if you were to go around to most of the — what I would think of as super-sophisticated people who think about politics and policy more than five minutes a month — we are doing really well.…
 
“And the question in the United States of America is how are we doing with everybody else, which is the 99.5 percent of the people whose lives are very busy and complicated and pressing and they don’t have a lot of time to think about the things that don’t immediately impact themselves and their family.”
 
In this case, statistics show that less than one percent of the population believes that climate-change is a concern at all. Which likely is why his cause is getting so little attention. However, in Steyer’s second comment, he answered his own question. Because, “people whose lives are very busy and complicated and pressing and they don’t have a lot of time to think about the things that don’t immediately impact themselves and their family.”
 
Therefore, since climate-change has practically no effect on them presently, especially because it doesn’t exist, only those gaining by “selling” the cause along with some on the lunatic fringe pay an iota of attention to the fraud.   
 
Some research done just now showed that, Holman W. Jenkins of The Wall Street Journal, wrote back on Feb. 28, 2014 that: “Surely, some kind of ending is upon us. Last week climate protesters demanded the silencing of Charles Krauthammer for a Washington Post column that notices uncertainties in the global warming hypothesis. In coming weeks a libel trial gets under way brought by Penn State's Michael Mann, author of the famed hockey stick, against National Review, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, writer Rand Simberg and roving commentator Mark Steyn for making wisecracks about his climate work. The New York Times runs a cartoon of a climate "denier" being stabbed with an icicle.”
 
Mr. Jenkins surmises that “These are indications of a political movement turned to defending its self-image as its cause goes down the drain. That's how thoroughly defunct, dead, expired is the idea that humanity might take charge of earth's atmosphere through some supreme triumph of the global regulatory state over democracy, sovereignty, nationalism and political self-interest, the very facts of political human nature.”
 
Then Mr. Jenkins sums the situation up perfectly, “Let's restate more accurately a plan recently announced by Thomas Steyer, a California hedge-fund billionaire whose idea is to make the coming midterms about climate change: He would spend $100 million to flog an issue voters don't care about, to defeat Republicans whose defeat would have no impact on climate change, in order to replace them with Democrats whose election would have no impact on climate change.”
 
One can’t state the conclusion better than that.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
