[Apologies for another overdue sandbox.  Boy, they sure fill up fast.  I would personally enjoy readers' thoughts on airport massacres, the new venue of choice for terrorists and madmen to carry out mass shootings in highly crowded environments where the shooter is guaranteed by the federal government to be the only one armed (save the readily identifiable and evadable security personnel).  And the best part of such exchanges is to once more hear the pinhead progressives conclude that too many CCWs are the real problem.  gjr]

    You can’t make this up Kellyanne Conway Says Donald Trump Shouldn’t Be Held Accountable For The Things He Says
    “New Day” host Chris Cuomo called out Trump for mocking a disabled New York Times reporter during a 2015 rally. But Kelly Anne Conway insisted that’s not what he was doing.
    “Why is everything taken at face value?” she asked. “You can’t give him the benefit of the doubt on this and he’s telling you what was in his heart, you always want to go with what’s come out of his mouth rather than look at what’s in his heart.”
    So you can’t believe a word Trump says right?

    Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach at WUWT on the latest from Science Magazine.
    I fear that Science magazine has beclowned itself as badly as the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. They’ve published a “scientific” policy paper by the noted climate scientist Barack Hussein Obama. Not a paper with Obama as one of the signatories. No, Science magazine claims that the President wrote the deathless prose all by himself, not a co-author in sight.
    [ooo] See example clip https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/01/09/barack-obama-climate-scientist/
    Now I gotta ask … is there anyone on the planet who thinks that:
    a) Barack Hussein Obama was the sole author of this piece of drivel? … or that
    b) Any of this is anything but politics? … or that
    c) We should get our climate science advice from op-ed political pieces by outgoing politicians? … or that
    d) Science magazine is doing its reputation any good by publishing this puff piece? … or that
    e) Obama made it into Science magazine (or to be the Editor of the Harvard Law Review) on his own merits?

    I quit reading Science Magazine over ten years ago when they went full anthropogenic global warming, real scientist keep an open mind.

    More Global Warming: Extreme cold and snow pound the northern hemisphere as some scientists warn of the potential for ice age conditions.
    • In Russia Moscow celebrated the coldest orthodox Christmas in 125 years.
    • Snowfall paralyzed the city of Istanbul, Turkey.
    • Massive snow falls across the Balkans, Italy and Greece.
    • Dozens of Europeans have since frozen to death.
    • Northern Albania villages have been cut off by 120 cm of snow.
    • A temperature of -62°C (-80°F) was recorded in Chanty-Mansijsk (Russia).
    Yes, I know it is just weather, however, the next ice age has to start sometime. The periods proceeding the last mini ice age were highly variable, but the overall average was a declining temperature over multiple decades, just like the warm up progressed over decades. With “the pause” reaching twenty years, we are on the cusp of change, with the downturn starting any day now.

    If you could whine in print it would sound something like this…..

    “During the 2016 presidential election, we saw the greatest of glass ceilings just above our heads, heard it cracking, and watched again as it stayed just out of reach. Mothers awoke with their daughters the day after the election to once again explain why the man gets to go first. Women and girls watched as one of the most qualified candidates in U.S. presidential history, a woman, received three million more votes but ultimately lost to a man with no credentials and no decorum.”

    Gregory@09:37 OK, if you say so. I find Willis analysis of climate change data sets most interesting. One does not have to be a climate scientist to find errors in data sets and the subsequent analysis. Some computer programming and math skill seems to be the basic requirements, not a climate science degree. Is Willis ways right? No. But he is open to being corrected, something many climate scientists are not.

    My, back from a nice leisurely walk with my furry friends and I see I did not miss anything. Beautiful day. Paul is a good person, but it is usually only a select few that think so. 🙂
    I think the hackers/leakers were just trying to help Obama keep his solemn promise on making his Administration the most transparent in history. Only took much whining and gnashing of teeth, and a boatload of FOIA requests that got stalled for two years by Administration operatives, but more will be forthcoming in the months ahead.
    I love transparency.
    A side issue on the report is WHY did the Clinton Campaign refuse to allow the FBI to look at their computers to determine who the hackers were? Very counterproductive if you ask me. Denied repeated requests by the FBI investigators trying to get to the source. That is the question I have. Why? Who benefited from denying our FBI looking at the Clinton Campaign computers?? Who benefited? What were they hiding? I thought we wanted to get to the bottom of this, but what do I know….or care less with each tweet.
    Predictable as day follows night, Robby Mook (My Gal’s campaign bigwig) said that we need to pay more attention to Cyper Security, ROFLMFUEO.
    I think I know who the dirty rotten scoundrels that did this are. Putin has been dropping hints and the pieces are coming together. Motivation is still a mystery.

    re PaulE’s 1006am ff. – I would answer Paul, but that doesn’t do any good. Mr Emery continues to circle the barn here. No one is denying that there’s a high likelihood that Russia was involved in the hacking, and most certainly that Russia is an enemy who seeks to counter US interests, and even that Putin favored Trump over Hillary. The response here and across the history-literate nation is ‘So fu@%ing what??!’ That’s like braying in the headlines the discovery that bears shit in the woods, with equivalent impact on the 2016 election, and a fact that not even the intelligence guys are willing to amplify.

    Well I’m finding things in common with Sessions that he spoke to in today’s hearings. First his support of the CIA assessment on Russian hacking and now his affirmation that Trump was bragging about himself sexually assaulting women.
    “A fellow senator asked the next attorney general of the United States on Tuesday whether the actions described by President-elect Donald Trump ― grabbing a woman “by the p***y” ― would constitute sexual assault.
    “Is grabbing a woman by her genitals, is that sexual assault?” Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-V.T.) asked Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) during Sessions’ Senate confirmation hearing.
    “Clearly it would be,” Sessions said.”
