[The Union tells us that there will be demonstrations 'Striking for the Earth' at the NC and GV city halls this Friday. These deluded citizens have no idea that their anthropomorphized Earth doesn't give a big rat's ass about ongoing climate change. And what still eludes these sincere but factually deficient folks is that consensus science is NOT science – discovering ground truths about our universe is NOT a democratic process. gjr]

After Another Embarrassing Confession, Boy, Is Trudeau’s Face . . . Red
It was a youthful indiscretion!” Trudeau was 29! And he was a teacher at this school!
“Everybody’s done something like this!” Er, no they haven’t. Lots of people make insensitive comments, tell jokes that could offend, but most people haven’t put on shoe polish or some other makeup to look like a member of another ethnic group.
In a society that wasn’t consumed by woke-scolds and “cancel culture,” we could argue that not every example of darkening the skin is the same as Al Jolson or Amos and Andy or other efforts to mock and deride an entire group of people. Nobody seems all that upset when Robert Downey Jr. played an over-the-top method actor who darkened his skin to play an African-American character in Tropic Thunder. But that would require people to recognize that, say, Megyn Kelly wasn’t being racist or malevolent when she described trying to look like Diana Ross on Halloween. And by golly, joining the outrage mob and claiming another scalp is just too much fun for people to resist.

Seems like a quiet evening so lets stir it up a bit of snark on the climate confession booth –
The far-left NBC News launched a Climate Confession site, where eco-hypocrites can go to confess their carbon sins. Thankfully, there are still enough Americans left in America to treat this nonsense with the contempt it deserves.
Here are my personal favorites with some minor punctuation edits where necessary…
“I eat meat every day. And won’t stop, because it’s good.”
“I run my AC 24/7. I’m not going to sweat to appease this climate religion.”
“I like my house to be 85 in the winter and 55 in the summer. Deal with it, hippies.”
“I solve global warming by turning the ac way down and leaving the windows open. I drive an F350 45 miles to work each day alone.”
“Where I live, it is currently 98˚F with 71% humidity. Sorry, but you can have my a/c when you pry it from my cold dead hands.”
“Being scared of the dark comes with energy-use consequences.”
“K-cups!!!! They are just too easy to use. I do use a reusable mug, however.”
“I just don’t care. About any of it.”
“I change my own oil in my car and dump the old oil down the storm drain. I also throw my old car batteries in the ocean.”
“I’m not having a kid, so I’ll use as many straws as I reasonably need.”
“I don’t do anything for the environment. I don’t care.”
“I LOVE plastic straws & I cannot lie. As many as I can get, before I die. Suck straight soda with apple pie. Yessir, I’m the guy.”
As you can see, not all heroes wear capes.
If NBC did believe in Climate Change, it would vacate Rockefeller Center, which is where its headquarters are located in Manhattan. According to the media, Climate Change was supposed to put the island of Manhattan underwater in 2015. At least that’s what they told us as they all remained in Manhattan even as the deadline approached.
So if NBC News doesn’t believe in any of this, why should we?
It’s all a hoax.
President Obama just spent $15 million to buy property on the coast.
It’s all a hoax.
Why do we recycle when everything’s eventually going to end up in the ground anyway?
It’s all a hoax.
Ninety percent of the plastic waste comes from Asia and Africa.
It’s all a hoax.
Hey, don’t litter, be kind to animals, but other than that, there’s nothing wrong with eating some cheeseburgers in front of your 80-inch plasma TV while enjoying that 70-degree air conditioning and drinking a strawberry YooHoo out of a plastic bottle with a plastic straw.
Don’t let these contemptible hypocrites and liars guilt you using fake science.
We’ve had 50 years of apocalyptic hoaxes.

One little man and a Twitter Machine. Oh, how they love to hate him. VDH
“A new America supposedly is marching forward under the banner of ending fossil fuels, curbing the Second Amendment, redistributing income, promoting identity politics and open borders, and providing free college, free health care and abortion on demand.
An insomniac Trump fights all of the above nonstop and everywhere. In the past, Republican presidents sought to slow the progressive transformation of America but despaired of ever stopping it.
No slugfest is too off-topic or trivial for Trump. Sometimes that means calling out former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for persuading NFL stars to kneel during the national anthem. Huge, monopolistic Silicon Valley companies are special Trump targets. Sometimes Trump enters cul-de-sac Twitter wars with Hollywood has-beens who have attacked him and his policies.
Trump variously goes after antifa, political correctness on campus, the NATO hierarchy, the radical green movement, Planned Parenthood, American universities and, above all, the media — especially CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times.
For all the acrimony and chaos — and prognostications of Trump’s certain failure — a bloodied Trump wins more than he loses. NATO members may hate Trump, but more are finally paying their promised defense contributions.
In retrospect, many Americans concede that the Iran Deal was flawed and that the Paris climate accord mere virtue signaling. China was long due for a reckoning.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation proved fruitless and was further diminished by Mueller’s bizarrely incoherent congressional testimony.
Some of the most prominent Trump haters — Michael Avenatti, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Antony Scaramucci and Rep. Adam Schiff — either have been discredited or have become increasingly irrelevant.
Trump has so enraged his Democratic adversaries that the candidates to replace him have moved farther to the left than any primary field in memory. They loathe Trump, but in their abject hatred he has goaded the various Democratic candidates into revealing their support for the crazy Green New Deal, reparations for slavery, relaxed immigration policies and trillions of dollars in new free stuff.
In a way, the left-wing Democratic presidential candidates understand Trump best. If he wins his one-man crusade to stop the progressive project, they are finished, and their own party will make the necessary adjustments and then sheepishly drift back toward the center.”

The Food and Drug Administration has launched a criminal probe into the recent spike in vaping-related illnesses, which has jumped to 530, health authorities said Thursday.
The confirmed cases, up from 380 last week, were reported by 38 states and one territory as of Sept. 17, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
CDC reported Thursday morning that seven deaths resulting from vaping-related illness have been confirmed in six states, and that more were likely to occur. By Thursday evening, the Missouri Department of Health confirmed that a man in his mid-40s died this week due to a vaping-related illness—the first in Missouri and the eighth nationwide.

It’s about shaming someone for not ascribing to the party orthodoxy, which regrettably prioritizes uniformity over the interests of the voters.”

Hunter as appointed to some Ukrainian energy board of directors with no experience in the field. The prosecutor was investigating corruption and VP Lunch-bucket Joe put at stop to that ASAP. No US taxpayer loans for Ukraine unless they fire the Attorney General, lol. Cease and desist. The prosecutor appears to be a stand up guy.

More Conservative judges headed our way!
Yup Trump has a woody for the Calif. LIB. He just won’t let Ca. have a moments peace. From Pulling it’s teeth on auto regs, fining Frisco for EPA violations, now this.
Just what is a Proggy to do???

Oh.. So the ECO brainwashed kids left school to protest.
Fine… Make them walk home from school. Throw the power switch on the side of the house. Give them a taste of just what they are “protesting” for.
Watch how fast they change their tune, and make up a list of excuses.

“The Proggys must still be out teaching the kids how to bark at cars.”
Well Walt, that would be an improvement over this crap they are teaching. Just take a pronoun and toss it in the trash and make it whatever you want it to be. Then take a verb or noun and make it whatever you want to mean.
“New Words About Race and Identity
On a more serious note, several new entries are for words that address the complex ways we view ourselves and others and how we all fit in.
“They: expanded to include this sense: “used to refer to a single person whose gender identity is nonbinary.” It’s an expansion of a use that is sometimes called the “singular they” (and one that has a long history in English). When a reflexive pronoun corresponding to singular use of they is needed, themself is seeing increasing use”

Have a blessed evening –
Represented by the conservative law firm Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), Olsen won her case last Friday after U.S. District Court Judge William Griesbach ruled NWTC violated her First Amendment rights, saying the school “had no more right to prevent [Olsen] from handing out individual Valentines than it did to stop her from wishing each individual to have a ‘good morning a blessed day.’”
“It’s not just my rights, it’s everyone’s rights on campus that have been violated.”
— Polly Anna Olsen
“Several teachers congratulated me,” she said. “They are very proud that I stood up for our rights, because it’s not just my rights, it’s everyone’s rights on campus that have been violated.”

Daily Quotes
Food for thought: “Justin Trudeau at one point chastised a young woman at a townhall for saying ‘mankind’ instead of ‘people-kind’ when asking a question — but didn’t think twice about dressing up in blackface at age 30. Just let that sink in for a minute everyone…” —Meghan McCain
Friendly fire: “I can’t even read the LGBT media anymore, because it’s all ‘too gay, not gay enough, wrong kind of gay.’” —Pete Buttigieg
A blind squirrel finds a nut: “Take recent demands to boycott businesses whose investors have voiced support for the president. … The question is not whether business boycotts are legitimate. … The question is whether Americans can live and work together without being so absolutist about politics and intolerant of viewpoint diversity. … To put it simply, healthy democracy is about living with disagreement, not eliminating it. … An approach that demands silence on contested issues, or that extends bitter political division into commerce and every other sphere of life, will succeed only in fracturing the country even more deeply.” —Michael Bloomberg
Idiocracy: “DC was the 1st territory in the United States to free the enslaved. It’s where Black Americans fled the tyranny of slavery & towards greater freedom, to DC. Yet today it’s where 2nd class citizenship reigns, and the right to vote is denied. It’s time to recognize DC statehood.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Emery and the jiggered one have explaining to do.
Just how did this fine, upstanding felon get his guns? As you two love to point out, we need more background checks.
https://www.theunion.com/news/crime/north-san-juan-raid-nets-drugs-guns-stolen-vehicle/
“Howell was arrested on charges of manufacturing a controlled substance, committing a felony while armed, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance while armed, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was booked and released on $39,000 bail. A shotgun and two handguns belonging to Howell were seized, Bringolf said.”
Now how come there is no statement about the cops going after the person he got the guns from? That’s a crime in this state.
Yup,, criminals break laws.. Can either of you dopes come up with a law that will stop them? I know,, just a few more laws to make life rougher on the average law abiding citizen. That’s the Proggy way.

John Solomon on Ukraine and Rudy
“According to interviews with more than a dozen Ukrainian and U.S. officials, Ukraine’s government under recently departed President Petro Poroshenko and, now, Zelensky has been trying since summer 2018 to hand over evidence about the conduct of Americans they believe might be involved in violations of U.S. law during the Obama years.
“The Ukrainians say their efforts to get their allegations to U.S. authorities were thwarted first by the U.S. embassy in Kiev, which failed to issue timely visas allowing them to visit America.
“Then the Ukrainians hired a former U.S. attorney — not Giuliani — to hand-deliver the evidence of wrongdoing to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York, but the federal prosecutors never responded.
“The U.S. attorney, a respected American, confirmed the Ukrainians’ story to me. The allegations that Ukrainian officials wanted to pass on involved both efforts by the Democratic National Committee to pressure Ukraine to meddle in the 2016 U.S. election as well as Joe Biden’s son’s effort to make money in Ukraine while the former vice president managed U.S.-Ukraine relations, the retired U.S. attorney told me.”
