He’s 93 so probably no longer compos mentis, but as it says here:
He melodramatically proclaims…that “what we do in the next few years will determine the next few thousand years.” If we don’t take action, he declares, “the collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.”
The Walter Cronkite of climate change. Sounds plausible, inevitably wrong when it matters. And to round this out, let me add this:
IOWA BLOWS IT
DEMS DOOMED?
‘QUALITY CONTROL’ OF VOTES
ELECTION FIASCO
PETE ‘VICTORIOUS’
APP FAILURE
SANDERS 00%
BUTTIGIEG 00%
WARREN 00%
HOT MESS 2020...
CAUCUS CONSPIRACY AGAINST SANDERS?
Frustration, questions...
Delegates decided by coin flips...
Entrance poll shows dip in first-timers...
We may never know the accurate result. Remember, it’s like Stalin said: it’s not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes.
UPDATE:
This is the story and the actual headline with the above picture in the paper today: It’s Super showtime as girl power raises the roof. This is Girl Power meets #MeToo.
And for just a bit of additional politics of the left to add to the mix, there was this:
The most political moment came towards the end for a nation wrestling with difficult questions over immigration and race. Children appeared in illuminated cages as Lopez and her daughter, Emme, sang Born in the USA. As she sang, Lopez was wearing an American flag that she reversed to show the colours of Puerto Rico.

Once a year I watch a professional football game from the US. Poisoned for me, as for many others, by the kneeling during the American national anthem by people who have more freedom and wealth than 99.9% of the world’s population and commenced by someone who had been the quarterback for San Francisco, one of the two teams playing today. It was a remarkable game, and as is typical with more variety than you will find in any other sporting event I know, since the possibilities for the unusual and unexpected exists in North American football (reminder: the game was invented in Canada) in ways that are truly unique. The game today was no different. And like cricket, unless you grow up with it, you might never catch on to its fascination.
Let me however look at the halftime show a bit more closely. Most of the time, I was doing my sudoku while it was on. Soft porn. This is from Drudge so you can see I am not alone in seeing things this way:
J-Lo Rubs Crotch, Dances on Stripper Pole...
However, right in the middle there was suddenly found a cross, just as you might find it outside some Christian Church which made me sit right up and take notice. But then I realised what I was actually looking at.
The symbol of the Roman goddess Venus is commonly used to represent the female sex. It also stands for the planet Venus and is the alchemical symbol for copper.
The half-time show, amazingly enough, was about girl power. American politics on the left cannot get more absurd.
As for the game, you can watch the replay below. And in watching, it may help you to remember that the team in white is from Nancy Pelosi’s home district in California, not that anyone should mix politics with sport.
AND I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS: My exact sentiments.

And this as a reminder of how accurate the media are.
Calm down. Trump won’t be President – and Britain won’t leave the EU
UPDATE: The tweet above comes from this: Massive Brexit Celebration Destroys Years-Long Media Gaslighting. Essentially, as you will find if you go to the link where there is one example after another, the media will lie to you with a straight face and with no conscience if reality does not conform to their wishes.

Now official. No witnesses. No trial. On to the election, with these a pair of PDT trial ads that pave the way towards November. Iowa caucuses begin Monday. Then Trump’s state of the union.
The Democrats are running on abortion rights, gun control, Medicare for all plus free this and free that. Not to mention open borders. As incompetent as they may be, they have an automatic constituency that reaches towards half the country, and then they will cheat like mad. Plus the impeachment saga will go on endlessly. It’s by no means over.
And from the comments:
If you look at the photos, you can see who’s talking.
In the top photo, it is Dr. Anthony Fauci, a medical doctor at the National Institutes of Health who has worked on finding treatments for emergent diseases; his experience even includes working on SARS and Ebola. Everyone is listening attentively to Dr. Fauci, including President Trump.
In the other photo of the Ebola task force, the speaker is President Obama, a non-practicing attorney and community organizer who has had the flu a few times. Dr. Fauci is not at this meeting at all.
Neither the media and the left [same thing, obviously] have any idea about policy nor about what is required to make things work.
I have known for a long time that I have a constant monologue in my head since every time I am accosted by someone selling a magazine on the street, my thought processes are interrupted. Yet I had been told years ago that only some people are like that. That story therefore continues here: Today I Learned That Not Everyone Has An Internal Monologue And It Has Ruined My Day. This is the full article.
My day was completely ruined yesterday when I stumbled upon a fun fact that absolutely obliterated my mind. I saw this tweet yesterday that said that not everyone has an internal monologue in their head. All my life, I could hear my voice in my head and speak in full sentences as if I was talking out loud. I thought everyone experienced this, so I did not believe that it could be true at that time.
Literally the first person I asked was a classmate of mine who said that she can not “hear” her voice in her mind. I asked her if she could have a conversation with herself in her head and she looked at me funny like I was the weird one in this situation. So I began to become more intrigued. Most people I asked said that they have this internal monologue that is running rampant throughout the day. However, every once in a while, someone would say that they don’t experience this.
My life began to slowly spiral out of control with millions of questions. How do they get through the day? How do they read? How do they make decisions between choice A and choice B? My friend described it as “concept maps” that she sees in her brain. Another friend says that she literally sees the words in her head if she is trying to think about something. I was taking ibuprofen at this point in the day because my brain was literally unable to comprehend this revelation. How have I made it 25 years in life without realizing that people don’t think like me?
I posted a poll on instagram to get a more accurate assessment of the situation. Currently 91 people have responded that they have an internal monologue and 18 people reported that they do not have this. I began asking those people questions about the things that they experience and it is quite different from the majority.
I would tell them that I could look at myself in the mirror and have a full blown telepathic conversation with myself without opening my mouth and they responded as if I had schizophrenia. One person even mentioned that when they do voice overs in movies of people’s thoughts, they “wished that it was real.”
And to their surprise, they did not know that the majority of people do in fact experience that echoey voice in their head that is portrayed in TV and film. Another person said that if they tried to have a conversation with themselves in the mirror, they would have to speak out loud because they can’t physically do it inside of their mind.
I started posting screenshots of these conversations on my instagram and my inbox started
to flood with people responding to my “investigation.” Many people were reassuring me that I was not crazy for having an internal monologue, while others were as absolutely mind blown as I was. People were telling me that I ruined their day and that they now do not understand anything about life. Maybe you are all just a figment of my imagination, but regardless, yesterday made reality seem even more skewed.
How do they think? How does this affect their relationships, jobs, experiences, education? How has this not been mentioned to me before? All of these questions started flooding my mind. Can those people without the internal monologue even formulate these questions in their mind? If they can, how does it happen if they don’t “hear” their voice? I mentioned earlier that I was spiraling out of control. Well, as I write this and as I hear my own voice in my head, I am continuing to fall down the rabbit hole.
Whether people just have different definitions of their thoughts, or if people literally don’t have an internal monologue, there is one thing that we do know… you will definitely get a headache if you keep thinking about this. Just trying to wrap my head around it is causing irreversible brain damage. I suggest asking people around you what they experience. If you are one of the few that do not have this internal monologue, please enlighten me, because I still do not understand life anymore. Send help.

And here is the fascinating discussion thread on Instapundit where the article was found.
That’s Ezra Levant. You would think Trudeau and company would be embarrassed by all this, that the entire country should be embarrassed, but there you are. It is only our historic constitutional rights that preserve our freedom just out of habit, if not conviction. If you do not value Ezra and worry about what you see, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
