[Gun control. Correspondents keep sending me data on gun homicides compiled by the WHO. For those who truly know something about ‘gun violence’ in America, these data are not new (which says a lot about our progressive counterparts). It turns out that the US doesn’t even make the top 100 countries in the per capita murders with firearms in the world. But the more remarkable stats reveal that if the murder rates in our top for-decades-Democrat-controlled cities were averaged to, say, Plano, TX, the ‘gun nut capital of the world’, then our gun homicides rate would become lower than Switzerland’s, where everyone is armed. The point I want to make here is that it is the liberal and Democrat constituents in the deepest and most gun-controlled enclaves in the country where wanton killing goes on day-in and day-out, all to the silence of the country’s leftwing leadership and their lamestream media. If ever there was an example of evil hypocrisy, a gift of silence that keeps on killing, … . Add to that the Left’s lies (e.g. "gun violence" = gun murders) in their constant effort to subvert the Second Amendment and disarm law abiding citizens, then you have the essence of how our friends across the aisle are fundamentally transforming America. Watch this short video in its entirety for a snootful on the topic. gjr]

NPR’s climate expert thinks it’s entirely consistent with an El Nino, “Jon”… and the high of 58 forecast for the 25th is well below the record for December set in 1998, in an earlier El Nino.
It’s weather, not climate.LikeLike
-
Again, the NPR expert thinks the high earlier this month, of 69 degrees (iirc) might have been 68 degrees without AGW, no ones really knows ; that’s close enough if you take a CO2 sensitivity of from 1 to 1 1/2 degree C for a doubling of CO2, and the rise from 300ppm to 400ppm, still 200ppm short of the first doubling.
“Jon” reminds me of a little poem that an engineer I once worked with (a Brit) would recite when management got unhinged:
When in trouble, when in doubt,
Run in circles, scream and shout.
There is a warming effect of CO2, “Jon”, it’s just much smaller than natural variations.LikeLike

The year in review:
As anticipated, Obama renewed his assault on the Second Amendment in March, this time with a regulatory back-door ammo ban. But the ruse drew the immediate attention of 238 House members, who signed a strong letter of protest to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). The agency backtracked, claiming the regulation as printed “was an error.” For Obama and his leftists, the “inconvenient truth” is that, by every objective measure, more guns equal less crime. Of course, the real motive behind the Left’s “guns and ammo” ban is to undermine the ability of today’s American Patriots to defend Liberty and Rule of Law.

Anyone notice that no one is concerned about the Dem candidates’ chops on foreign policy. Sanders and O’Malley haven’t shed any light on their familiarity with what’s going on out there, and have no plans to go tour the countryside. The only one about whom the voters know is Hillary because she has a record demonstrating that she knows nothing about foreign policy (red plastic buttons notwithstanding).

Dr Rebane. Bernie tweeted during the last Republican debate on foreign policy “45 minutes into the debate and not one word about income equality!” Thus, no wonder Bernie and the liberals want to neatly brush the topics of foreign policy and national security under the rug, save for making us more like Sweden. They just aren’t into those kind of foreign policy issues. Libs like to nest and let others worry about how to protect the nest (if it does not cost too much money or take away from social programs). No balance if that is the gist of your 7:33am..LikeLike

When police are hours away or just plain not available, the social contract between state and the people has been broken. Similar to the last link, but the 2nd part of this link explores the social contract. As I have pointed out before, one of the grievances in the Declaration of Independance was the Crown not keeping up with their end by failing to protect the people from “savages”.

Remember when the “G” man wanted doctors to ask uh,, questions?
http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/30790522/gun-permit-applicants-denied-over-medical-dispute
“The Honolulu Police Department is requiring a doctor’s note that many doctors are not willing to write.”
“HPD officers are now handing out a memo to gun permit applicants that states a doctor must sign a note on official letterhead stating the individual “shall own, possess, or control any firearm or ammunition and has been medically documented to be no longer adversely affected by the addiction, abuse, dependence, mental disease, disorder or defect”.
“It’s some kind of new legal mumbo jumbo about I have to admit that I was treated for mental or drug abuse which I have never done, so that would be a lie. Kaiser says they won’t do it so you have to seek an outside doctor. I did so, and they did not accept that doctor’s letter,” he said. “LikeLike

Hillary’s latest lie and logic, did everyone catch it? In the debate she claimed that ISIS was using Trump videos to recruit members. Turns out they haven’t done that, but her two handlers – campaign manager and ‘communications director’ – did the Sunday shows declaring that Hillary won’t retract any of that bullshit, because ISIS could very well do that in the future, and she knows what they are really thinking.
We are aware that the Lying Left has told us for decades when they put words in our mouths (often in double quotes) that it was what we really meant because ‘we know what you are thinking’. Now it appears that this remarkable function has been expanded to include those devious Muslims. So watch out, none escapes the gimlet eye of Hillary the Queen of Hearts.LikeLike
