Donald Trump isn’t mentioned often here, because he’s not really worth the keystrokes. However, today he announced his plan to run for POTUS.

 

As far as his candidacy’s concerned, it should be noted that he’s six and a half years too late. Because his forte is overspending into bankruptcy, which his businesses have done several times. But, in that regard the nation’s already dead broke, because Obama beat him to it. It’s getting out of debt that’s the problem. Unfortunately, that’s the part that would stump candidate Trump. Unless he decides to simply default on the debt, something he’s quite familiar with. 

 

As a practical matter, his chances of election are probably less than nil. But what would have been interesting to see, were he to win, is some of the changes he’s known for. For example, the White House would have new 24K gold doorknobs installed and fully refurbished marble bathrooms. While the military might have genuine leather seats in their Humvees and tanks, its aircraft would likely have maple-wood veneer floors, and genuine chrome seat-belt latches. Just like the Trump air shuttle did before he defaulted on his loans and ownership of the company was turned over to creditors. 

 

The next is from Michael Bastasch @dailycaller.com, who writes that, “Data from America’s most advanced climate monitoring system shows the U.S. has undergone a cooling trend over the last decade, despite recent claims by government scientists that warming has accelerated worldwide during that time.”

 

Mr. Bastasch explains that, “The U.S. Climate Reference Network was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide “high-quality” climate data. The network consists of 114 stations across the U.S. in areas NOAA expects no development for the next 50 to 100 years.”

 

For information and data gathering: “The climate stations use three independent measurements of temperature and precipitation to provide “continuity of record and maintenance of well-calibrated and highly accurate observations,” NOAA states on its website. “The stations are placed in pristine environments expected to be free of development for many decades.” In essence, NOAA chose locations so they don’t need to be adjusted for “biases” in the temperature record.”

 

What’s important about NOAA's information-gathering methods, is that it’s collected from true and accurate observation. Many, global-warming alarmists rely instead on computerized modeling, statistics obtained selectively and assumed temperature trends having nothing to do with reality.

 

As far as the globe in general is concerned, China’s been the most populous nation on Earth. And the effects of its unprecedented economic boom are taking very serious proportions. The cumulative climatic impact of steady growth in the consumption of over a billion people is tremendous.

 

Reader, ApplegateRanch Old Hickory added, “The answer to questions about China's pollution problems is generally along the lines of, "China must be allowed to temporarily pollute at high levels in order to modernize and achieve the technological advances necessary to ultimately reduce pollution, and clean up their environment."
Ecowhack Warmists say that with a straight face.”

 

Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

 

Jake Tapper, and The Lead staff @cnn.com quoted Bill’s wife as saying yesterday, “the President should listen to and work with his allies in Congress, starting with (House Minority Leader) Nancy Pelosi, who have expressed their concerns about the impact that a weak agreement would have on our workers, to make sure we get the best, strongest deal possible. And if we don't get it, there should be no deal."

 

Then Mr. Tapper and staff went on, “But as members of the Obama administration can attest, Clinton was one of the leading drivers of the TPP when Secretary of State.”

 

Following that, 45 instances were cited by Mr. tapper and staff, “when she approvingly invoked the trade bill about which she is now expressing concerns.”

 

Adding fuel to the fire, former Obama adviser David Axelrod said on MSNBC, “[S]he called the TPP, she said it was going to be the gold standard for trade agreements, so this is very, very freighted for her. This is difficult terrain to navigate because she owned this to some degree and now she has to try navigate through it. So it's going to be challenging for her."

 

Also yesterday, according to politico.com, ”House GOP Benghazi investigators have discovered 60 new Libya communications between Sidney Blumenthal and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a congressional source told POLITICO on Monday — suggesting that either the State Department or the 2016 Democratic presidential contender withheld correspondence the panel had requested.

 

“The congressional source did not know whether Clinton had turned over all the new emails to State and State did not provide them, or whether Clinton failed to hand over the correspondence.”

 

So, here we have continuations of water that’s drip, drip, dripping on Bill’s wife’s rock. And as frequently stated here, the world has now significantly changed for political candidates. In a way that tired old war horses may not fully comprehend. Because the voting public now has immediate Web access to historical information and performance, along with current utterances, 24/7/365. Which means that’s once anything's been said or done, it’s not simply going to go away to be forgotten like it used to. 

 

Reader, wewin supergun, put it this way: “These emails will continue to leak out from many sources. And eventually the IRS IG will publish his report (even if the FBI refuses to investigate). And all this will hit the DNC over the next 12 months as we prepare for the next national election. And all those Dems who are now saying "there is no there, there" will be embarrassed and back-pedaling saying "I am shocked... shocked to find this level of corruption!"

 

Which leads to the very important daily question: Mayor Bloomberg, are you reading this?

 

That’s it for today folks.
