THIS WEEK’S NEWS
Very bad news for Democrats:
Several polls find 34% approval for President Trump among black voters.
Poll: Trump surges against nearly all Democrats in Wisconsin
Poll: Opposition to Impeachment Grows Among Independents
Confidence in Trump Economy Hits Highest Level Ever
Trump flips third appeals court to majority GOP appointed
judges
But sobering thoughts from Sebastian Gorka: “How President Trump Loses in 2020: Donald Trump became the president despite the
GOP, not thanks to it. If he wants to have a second term and cement his reputation
as the most successful leader we have had since World War II, he needs to
disrupt the Republican machine as much as he disrupted politics in general.
MAGA hangs by a thread.”

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Walter Williams 11/20
The
absolute worst case of professional incompetence and dishonesty is in the area
of climate science. Tony Heller has exposed some of the egregious dishonesty of
mainstream environmentalists in a video he's titled "My Gift To
Climate Alarmists."
Environmentalists and their political allies attribute the recent increase in
deadly forest fires to global warming. However, according to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's Forest Service, forest fires reached their peak in the 1930s
and have declined by 80% since then. Environmentalists hide the earlier data
and make their case for the effects of global warming by showing the public and
policymakers data from 1980 that shows an increase in forest fires.
Climate
scientists claim that rising sea levels are caused by man-made global warming.
Historical data from the tide gauge in Lower Manhattan shows that sea levels
have been rising from about the time when Abraham Lincoln was president to now.
Heller says that sea levels have been rising for about 20,000 years. He points
out that anthropologists believe that when the sea level was very low people
were able to walk from Siberia to North America.
Hot
weather is often claimed to be a result of man-made climate change. Heller
presents data showing the number of days in Waverly, Ohio, above 90 degrees. In
1895, there were 73 days above 90 degrees. In 1936, there were 82 days above 90
degrees. Since the 1930s, there has been a downward trend in the number of days
above 90 degrees. If climatologists hide data from earlier years and started at
1955, they show an increase in the number of above 90-degree days from eight or
nine to 30 or 40. Thus, to deceive us into thinking the climate is getting
hotter, environmentalists have selected a starting date that fits their agenda.
You might ask: "Who is Tony Heller? Does he work for
big oil?" It turns out that he is a scientist and claims to be a lifelong
environmentalist. From what I can tell, he has no vested interests. In that
respect, he is different from those who lead the environmental movement, who
often either work for or are funded by governments.
Once
in a while environmentalists reveal their true agenda. Ottmar Edenhofer, lead
author of the IPCC's fourth summary report released in 2007, speaking in 2010
advised: "One has to free oneself from the illusion that international
climate policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about
how we redistribute de facto the world's wealth." U.N. climate chief
Christiana Figueres said that the true aim of the U.N.'s 2014 Paris climate
conference was "to change the (capitalist) economic development model that
has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial
Revolution." Christine Stewart, Canada's former Minister of the
Environment said: "No matter if the science is all phony, there are
collateral environmental benefits. ... Climate change (provides) the greatest
chance to bring about justice and equality in the world." Tim Wirth,
former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs and the person most
responsible for setting up the Kyoto Protocol said: "We've got to ride the
global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be
doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental
policy."
Not
all scientists are dishonest and not all news reporters are leftists with an
agenda. But one wonders at the deafening silence where there's clear, unambiguous
evidence. For example, if ocean levels have been rising for some 20,000 years,
why do scientists allow environmentalists to get away with the claim that it's
a result of man-made global warming? Why aren't there any reporters to
highlight leftist statements such as those by Edenhofer, Stewart and others who
want to ride global warming as a means to defeat capitalism and usher in
socialism and communism? I would prefer to think that the silence of so many
scientists represent their fears as opposed to their going along with the
environmental extremist agenda.
Here’s the referenced video by Heller:

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
“In September 2018, The New York Times published an op-ed
from an anonymous White House official who boasted of supposedly widescale
efforts inside the Trump administration to nullify its operations and subvert
presidential directives. Such efforts to oppose Trump are often self-described
as ‘The Resistance,’ a reference to the underground French fighters resisting
the Nazis in World War II. Trump’s opponents often have praised the deep state
precisely because unelected career officials are seen as the most effective way
to sabotage and stymie his agenda. A ‘coup’ is no longer proof of right-wing
paranoia, but increasingly a part of the general progressive discourse of
resistance to Trump. In these upside-down times, patriotism is being redefined
as removing a president before a constitutionally mandated election.”
-VDH
“If giving to Christian charities now bars you from opening
a restaurant at the airport, our culture is beyond the point of no return. …
America’s social fabric is already fraying. Politics has invaded everything
from education to sports, from movies to fashion. Should politics now determine
where we buy a chicken sandwich? A country that punishes restaurants because
its founders don’t openly celebrate same-sex marriage is a country destined to
bifurcate. And that’s pretty fowl.”
-Ben Shapiro
“[Democrats] got caught trying to obtain nude photos of
President Trump from Russian pranksters pretending to be Ukrainians. … That is
the Democrats’ pitiful legacy in recent years: they got caught.”
-Rep. Devin
Nunes
“They’re trying to remove a president for having a better
foreign policy than Barack Obama and Joe Biden.”
