“World Bank turns up the heat on global warming debate”

Bill Wilson, ALG: A recent report by the World Bank has found that the world will warm by 4 degrees Celsius this century, and that the negative impacts of climate change will disproportionately hurt developing, poorer regions. The report, “Turn Down the Heat,” warns of rising sea levels, less arable land, droughts, water contamination, more storms at greater strength and more, saying it was “likely that the poor will suffer

“Ex-GOP Chair: Florida Voting Laws Were Meant to Suppress Democratic Vote”

Or, “bitter dismissed embezzler looks to harm the GOP by giving cover to Democrat talking points and is corroborated by establishment-backed loser Charlie Crist, who like establishment-backed losers Dick Lugar or Lisa Murkowski or the late Arlen Specter seem to care less about what party they back so long as they maintain power.  And if they don’t, well, they’ll turn on a dime against those they’d previously supported.” Frankly, I

“‘Obama Is The Greatest Gun Salesman Of All Time,’ Texas Gun Store Owner Says”

And here you right wing nutjobs insisted Obama would kill private industry.  Meanwhile, that shit is booming! It was reported that Black Friday saw a surge in gun sales with the FBI reporting a record one day background check total of 154,873, breaking last year’s record of 129,166.  Gun sales were so overwhelming that the FBI’s Instant Background Check center crashed twice as the requests poured in. Jim Pruett, owner of

“Obama just now writing rules to govern the last 4 years of drone killings”

Oh. So that‘s what’s meant by “leading from behind”! The New York Times had a front-page story the other day reporting that in the final weeks before the Nov. 6 election, President Obama ordered acceleration of the process “to develop explicit rules for the targeted killing of terrorists by unmanned drones, so that a new president would inherit clear standards and procedures.” That was preparation in case Republican Mitt Romney

An addendum to Darleen’s previous post, re: racism and Susan Rice, performed as a series of leading questions

Hey.  Can anybody here remember the US ever having a black female Secretary of State?  Has such a woman of color ever existed?  And if so, was she ever criticized or attacked — or is it the case that such an onslaught, had it hypothetically occurred, was met with cries of racism and misogyny!, then followed on by a fierce protection of this unfairly beleaguered (weak) creature by the very

Democrats revive their Jim Crow roots [Darleen Click]

Once a racist, always a racist “Everytime [sic] I think the Democratic race card players could not get more vile, more deranged, more patronizingly demeaning to blacks, someone manages to defy even my vivid imagination,” thunders blogger William Jacobson. He’s referring to a passage in a Washington Post editorial about critics of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice–a passage that in our view is useful for its clarity. […] The Post focuses

“White House taps Tim Geithner to run the fiscal-cliff talks”

What more perfectly encapsulates the surreal state of today’s political climate than putting a wealthy tax cheat in charge of talks aimed at justifying tax increases by promoting the idea that “the rich” need to pay “their fair share”? It’s almost as if this Administration sees as its first responsibility flipping the American people the bird and letting them know they’re doing so.  Because what are going to do, vote

The irony of indignancy

Sure, we’ll break our pledge. I mean, you can’t actually expect us to be purists when the FISCAL CLIFF is looming.  Some of us Care About the Country!  Don’t you, Hobbits? Besides, what are we going to do, cut our own spending, or take on big ticket entitlements?  When all we have to do instead is side with the Democrats and come out for the economic patriotism of demanding “the

“Obama Promises Six Billion For Green Energy In Asia”

Gee, and here I thought that tax on millionaires and billionaires who make $250K a year was a key component to paying down the debt.  Which it is, I guess.  Just not ours. Breitbart: Yesterday the United States, Brunei, and Indonesia formed the US-Asia Pacific Comprehensive Partnership for a Sustainable Energy Future, and President Barack Obama promised up to $6 billion for the green energy idea. “The Partnership will offer

“Supreme Court orders new look at Liberty University’s health care challenge”

Likely so John Roberts together with the leftwing activists can find a way to kill off religious liberty on their way to finding the entire Constitution as originally written unconstitutional. Meanwhile in other SCOTUS news, Justice Ginsburg, having already proclaimed her disdain for the Constitution she’s sworn to uphold (Ms Ginsburg would prefer a Constitution that provides positive rights, meaning that in essence she’d prefer the kind of tyrannical police
