You can’t make this up. The MSNBC personality is either in agreement, or is unable, or unwilling to question the liberal pieties on global warming that High-Priestess Nancy Pelosi proclaims from her television pulpit. This is not science. It is the opposite of science. It is secular religion. It is stupid. The wildfires and their relative severity are due in part to state and local leadership failures relating to forest maintenance. The green lobby in California is strong. Green policies are almost uniformly wrong-headed. Blaming an undefinable, untouchable, and unknowable, phenomena like global warming is a convenient way for Democrat politicians to relieve themselves of responsibility for years of forest mismanagement.
Democrat.
These people are Democrats.
Vote for Democrats and this is what you will get.
IF PROPOSITION 16 PASSES, CALIFORNIA’S FUTURE MAY LOOK LIKE THIS: If you think that universities that engage in race-preferential admissions simply put a gentle thumb on the scale in favor of targeted minority members, here are some statistics that may surprise you:
In 1995, before the ban on race-preferential admissions, the level of preference at UC-Berkeley was very high. Here are the median math SAT scores for enrollees by race/ethnicity:
510 (blacks)
560 (Hispanics)
710 (Asians)
690 (whites)
Here are the median verbal SAT scores for enrollees by race/ethnicity:
450 (blacks)
480 (Hispanics)
590 (Asians)
600 (whites)
Here are the median high school GPAs for enrollees by race/ethnicity:
3.42 (blacks)
3.75 (Hispanics)
4.00 (Asians)
4.00 (whites)
These figures come from a report by the Center for Equal Opportunity. CEO has been prying this information out of colleges and universities for decades, but it’s only this past week that Dr. Althea Nagai has put some of the data from several schools into one summary report.
This type of preferential treatment based on skin color is a disgrace; it is anti-American. It is also a disservice to all races and preferentially hurts blacks and Hispanics by telling them they are inherently inferior and cannot compete on a level playing field.
Monica Showalter:
“…Democrats are having a shattered-glass crack-up to the continuous good news coming from President Trump on the global peace front. Their famously discplined lockstep ‘narrative’ has gone haywire.
Over in Sweden, a legislator has nominated President Trump for the Nobel peace prize over his role in bringing peace to longtime foes Kosovo and Serbia. That’s the second one who’s done it. It follows a Norwegian legislator’s nomination of Trump this same week for the same prize over his role in brokering an Israel-UAE entente, the biggest peace breakthrough since the Camp David accords, which made peace between Israel and Egypt. That one earned its participants a Nobel prize, too.
Instead of saying ‘nice job’ with a pat on the back, hoping the news cycle moves on, Democrats are going nuts. The Swedes have noticed! Now their responses are absolutely crazy…”

“…The Atlantic, a leftist magazine that recently published a widely disputed story claiming that President Donald Trump mocked dead American soldiers, wrote on Friday that the Nobel Peace Prize should be abolished after Trump was nominated to win the award…”
Pathetic. Sick.
“They’re basically a collection of liars. Most of the mainstream media. They’re a collection of liars and they know exactly what they’re doing. A perfect example of that were the riots. Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a hardened group of street fighting radicals and they kept on excluding from their coverage all the video of this and reporting otherwise and they were doing that for partisan reasons, and they were lying to the American people. It wasn’t until they were caught red-handed after essentially weeks of this lie that they even started feeling less timid,” Barr said on the flight back to Washington Friday afternoon.
“The press has dropped, in my view – and I’m talking about the national mainstream media – has dropped any pretense of professional objectivity and are political actors, highly partisan who try to shape what they’re reporting to achieve a political purpose and support a political narrative that has nothing to do with the truth. They’re very mendacious about it,” he continued. “It’s very destructive to our Republic; it’s very destructive to the Democratic system to have that, especially being so monolithic. It’s contributing to a lot of the intensity and partisanship.”
Joel Pollak:
“…Retired judge John Gleeson argued Friday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) should not be allowed to drop charges against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn because his guilt is “obvious” and the DOJ has become “corrupt.”
Gleeson was appointed by Judge Emmet Sullivan to submit an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief arguing against prosecutors’ motion to drop charges against Michael Flynn after exculpatory evidence emerged following a DOJ review.
Sullivan originally sought amicus briefs arguing why he should not find Flynn in criminal contempt of court for changing his original guilty plea, for the crime of lying to the FBI, to a plea of not guilty after exculpatory evidence began to emerge.
He appointed Gleeson, who had already published an op-ed in the Washington Post arguing that the case “reeks of improper political influence.”
Flynn sought a writ of mandamus from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. He won an initial decision 2-1, but Judge Sullivan asked for an en banc hearing, which reversed the earlier ruling late last month and sent the case back to the lower court.
In his brief Friday, Gleeson accused President Donald Trump of having “orchestrate[d] pressure campaigns to get the Justice Department to drop charges against defendants who have pleaded guilty.” He alleged that the DOJ’s motion to drop charges “reflects a corrupt and politically motivated favor unworthy of our justice system.”
Gleeson also claims that Flynn “lied” about his conversations with then-Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, though recently-released transcripts suggest that Flynn never lied to anyone — neither to the FBI nor to the vice president…”

In case you wondered how the Democrats would react to Trump’s historic peace breakthrough. A breakthrough achieved by abandoning the policies, procedures, and people who tried unsuccessfully over the last 40 years to achieve the same result. Here is Biden’s take:
Joe Biden: Trump Has ‘Put Israel in Danger,’ Despite Peace with Arab States
“…Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that President Donald Trump has “put Israel in danger” — even as more and more Arab and Muslim states make peace with the Jewish state.
Biden was addressing a fundraiser held by J Street, a far-left, George Soros-backed organization that opposes the Israeli government. J Street styles itself as “pro-peace,” but opposes the Trump administration’s peace plan for the Middle East, calling it the “Trump Peace Sham.”
In his remarks to J Street, Biden reportedly claimed that “Trump has put Israel in danger by tearing up the Iran nuclear deal,” and that he has “has undermined the stability of self-determination for the Palestinians, undercutting hope for a viable two-state solution any chance that he gets.” (Another report claimed Biden was blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not Trump, for undermining Palestinian self-determination.)
The Israeli government argued, in contrast, that it was the Obama-Biden administration’s nuclear deal with Iran that put it in danger…”
Biden is pathetic. Pathetic.
“The state automatically registers them to vote unless they check a small box saying that no, they don’t want to get registered to vote,” says the Suffolk County elections commissioner.

“…Gallup data out Tuesday shows public devotion to America’s great cultural pastimes has collapsed in the last year as political turmoil has infected what used to be an escape for millions of Americans.
According to Gallup, the sports industry now boasts a negative image among U.S. adults: 30 percent see the sports industry positively, compared to 40 percent reporting a negative image. This year’s survey illustrates a 30 percent decline from American views on the sports industry a year ago, when the corporate sports enjoyed a net positive 20 percent rating, with 45 percent of Americans reporting a favorable opinion compared to 25 percent who said otherwise…”
