This morning, Marc Morano @climatedepot.com writes: “The countdown to the United Nation’s Paris Climate summit is approaching and the public is once again being warned that this meeting will represent the “last chance” for nations to act on “global warming” before it’s allegedly too late. Media reports are touting “Paris is the last chance.”  

The article lists numerous links presenting the same dire warnings, going all the way back to 1982. The threats have all obviously proven ridiculous over time. Yet, many make interesting reading about how scams can be used by politicians and con-artists to dupe an ignorant public, while bilking millions of dollars for themselves in the process. 

Here’s a link to the article: http://www.climatedepot.com/2015/11/06/every-un-climate-summit-hailed-as-last-chance-to-stop-global-warming-before-its-too-late/

 

On another subject, an article by Kelly Riddell @washingtontimes.com today, contained a statistic that really shouldn’t surprise anyone paying attention to how most reported news is distorted. Most often intentionally in Democrats favor.

According to Ms Riddell: “A mere 7 percent of journalists identify as Republicans, and when they do give money to political campaigns they usually donate to Democrats, lending evidence to Republican presidential candidates’ claims that they are facing a hostile audience when they deal with the press.”

An interesting rationale for the significant differential in reporters political favoritism came from Tim Groseclose, author of “Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind.” 

The author said that: “More than 90 percent of D.C. journalists vote Democratic, with an even higher number giving to Democrats or liberal-leaning political action committees. 

And that’s because, according to Mr. Groseclose: “There’s something in the DNA of liberals that makes them want to go into jobs like the arts, journalism and academia more so than conservatives. Even if you’re just trying to maximize profits by offering an alternative point of view, it’s hard to find conservative reporters. So it’s natural the media is more liberal.” 

Which is very much like almost all other aspects of American society today. Republicans predominately populate the business world, earning income, paying taxes to support the nation’s overhead and striving for self-betterment. Democrats sit on the sidelines, collecting benefits. Except for those who do neither and simply report about it.  

Then, a short while ago, a friend sent the following email attachment:  

Ten reasons to vote Democrat by Letterman: 

#10.  I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my German Shepherd. 

#9.  I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn't. 

#8.  I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would. 

#7.  I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. 

#6.  I vote Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.  I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that gets police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion. 

#5.  I vote Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy. 

#4.  I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it. 

#3. I vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves.  They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrat Party sees it. 

#2.  I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters. 

… And, the #1 reason I vote Democrat is because I think it's better to pay $billions for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher, or fish here in America.  We don't care about the beetles, gophers, or fish in those other countries.

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

John Bowden @washingtonexaminer.com writes that: “An audit of Hillary Clinton's main Twitter feed, @HillaryClinton, shows that 41 percent of her followers are not real people, a far higher percentage of fake followers than all other Republican or Democratic candidates.

“The audit was done by running Clinton's Twitter address through TwitterAudit, which quickly measures how many real people are following, and how many fake accounts are following. 

“According to TwitterAudit, most Twitter accounts have some fake followers, and anything with 60 percent or more real followers is considered "real." Clinton's falls just short of that threshold, as 59 percent of her followers are real.” 

“In contrast, the same audit shows that 90 percent of Sen. Bernie Sanders' Twitter followers are real, and just 10 percent are fake.” 

While not a critically important revelation, it does go to further confirm that no matter what the subject is, Bill’s wife is simply incapable of telling the truth. And also leads to the continual question: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you reading this?  

And lastly, a FB friend posted this one today. 

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
