    The Border Patrol, Protecting America

    It's such a shame this agent was hounded into taking his own life. We need more of him to secure the border. Manzanares, a stocky 32-year-old agent who kept his head shaved short, was already under suspicion for misconduct—colleagues suspected he had let two border violators go free—but there...

    Kaci Hickox, Quarantined Nurse

    OK, the weird part is that the right is insisting that the government should restrict her personal freedom for the safety of others, and the left is screaming that she has the right to do whatever she wants so long as she breaks no laws. It's not just Halloween, it's Opposites Day!

    Threats Are Now a Daily Event for Many U.S. Muslims

    By Rob Garver September 25, 2014 These are difficult days to be a Muslim in the United States. There was, for example, the drunk man who chased Linda Sarsour and her friend down a New York City street earlier this month calling the two women “f---ing Arabs” and threatening to “chop off your...

    Congress in No Rush to Return for ISIS War Authorization By Matt Fuller Posted at 4:08 p.m. on Sept. 23 The United States has begun a bombing campaign in Syria, but don’t bet on Congress returning to Washington to vote on a new war authorization anytime soon. Shortly after airstrikes against...

    "To Declare War"

    That's in the Constitution, under Article I, Section 8, which starts "The Congress shall have Power. . ." This is relevant to the current campaign against DOUCHE. I maintain that while the President may, on his own authority, respond to imminent threats against the United States, only...

    That plus the fact that we're trading worthless paper for coal! How is that not smart?

    "The Pause"

    But there is. You can work, more or less hard, depending on your inclinations, to promote anti-pollution and pro-environment measures that both improve life on the planet (or your patch thereof) and could ameliorate the warming, if warming there be. Instead of chasing pie-in-the-sky "solutions...

    "The Pause"

    Assuming that's true, what's the relevance? Aren't warmists always bashing deniers for using short-term temperatures to deny warming? How is it different when warmists do it? Oh, yeah, because warmists are RIGHT! Forget I asked.

    Our cooling world

    It certainly is. And the singular is "brony." Think of this as like when Rainbow Dash irritates Applejack with her pranks and jokes.

    Our cooling world

    FFS, I'm just messing around. If you want my position on climate change, I'm a sceptic. I have no religious convictions on the subject. The data show some warming, but are far from complete, and the models have thus far failed to accurately predict anything.
