Free kibbles

TAX AND SPEND:

I'm not surprised that immigrants receive welfare benefits are nearly twice the rate of native born Americans. Of course it's harder for them to climb the economic ladder, so they get trapped in government's spider's web.

REGULATION:

When power outages take out stop lights, traffic flows better.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Peter Schiff opens hard money bank, but it won't serve Americans because US regulations are so oppressive.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

This is why I call NASA pseudo-scientist James Hansen a fraud:

"This paper (found here) has been quoted in hundreds, if not thousands, of media outlets and newspapers and has garnered the praise of many environmental advocacy groups.

The problem?  Their conclusions are demonstrably false and their characterization of the science and statistics are deceptive at best."

Deceptive at best.

Here's why I call the global warming frauds pseudo-scientists:

"What they did was, I think, shameful. And it was scientific malpractice. If they were licensed scientists, they should have to lose their licence"

Scientific malpractice. As for that record warm July in the US...

"Richard Muller: “Okay, let me give you a little background on that. The NOAA announced that this is the warmest year on record for the United States – that immediately surprised me because I’ve been looking at the world record, and I’d seen that the temperature had actually gone down, compared to the last five years.
So I looked it up, and sure enough, the 2% of the world that happens to be the United States is a record warm, the 98% of the world, the rest of it, was actually cool.
Okay, we’re having a heat spell. To call that “global warming” – and the globe isn’t warming - is just an attempt to grab headlines ..  to get the public interested in this important issue.”"

This guy is doing a great job, and he's not even a skeptic. He just believes in the scientific method and being honest.

"Richard Muller: “But that doesn’t mean that we’re seeing increased wildfires. It doesn’t mean we’re seeing increased tornadoes. We’re not, we’re not. Yes, the temperature’s going up, yes it’s greenhouse gases. But to exaggerate it, by bringing in all these other things, I think, tends to mislead the public. And when they learn that they’re wrong, when in 2006 there are no hurricanes hitting the U.S. despite predictions, they tend to become somewhat cynical about science. I think that’s really unfortunate."

The frauds, political activists posing as scientists, have made people skeptical of all supposed scientific proclamations, and that's a good thing. And I love that he brings up the dust bowl that the frauds like to pretend didn't exist.

"Richard Muller: “We saw it in 1930 – was the dustbowl. So yes – these things happen, and they are normal fluctuations, driven primarily by El Nino and the Gulf Stream. And these large changes are not due to two-thirds of one degree Celsius.”"

If it was natural climate variation in the 1930s, then it's natural climate variation now.

To test NOAA's claim that July was the hottest month in the US on record, Anthony Watts calculated the temperature using NOAA's most accurate temperature network and found NOAA's old network, the same network he showed biased temperatures upwards, reported a temperate 2.1 degree F higher than the accurate network.

"This puts July 2012, according to the best official climate monitoring network in the USA at 1.9°F below the  77.4°F July 1936 USA average temperature in the NOAA press release today, not a record by any measure."

So much for July being the hottest month in the US on record.

"NOAA never mentions this new pristine USCRN network in any press releases on climate records or trends, nor do they calculate and display a CONUS value for it. Now we know why. The new “pristine” data it produces is just way too cool for them.
Look for a regular monthly feature using the USCRN data at WUWT. Perhaps NOAA will then be motivated to produce their own monthly CONUS Tavg values from this new network. They’ve had four years to do so since it was completed."

I love this.

Obama pushes seven more solar and wind projects that will make us poorer.

To tell just how far NASA has fallen, it's worried about clean fuels. 

POLICE STATE:

I've long advocated using tethered blimps to monitor the Mexican border, but now the government is going to use untethered blimps to monitor us.

Lawsuit alleges cops strip-search a mother on the side of a road and forcibly remove her tampon. If this story is true, these assailants should be in prison, not just facing a lawsuit.

The lawyer for the Colorado shooter wants information about his client's mental illness, information the judge previously sealed.

FOREIGN POLICY:

More government malware is floating around the Middle East.

POLITICS:

The Wall Street Journal is pushing Paul Ryan for VP.

That ad about Romney supposedly killing a woman because he closed a plant and a worker lost his insurance is despicable on its own terms, but it's also a lie.

"But Romney stopped working for Bain in 1999. The plant closed in 2001. And Soptic’s wife died in 2006. Oh, and Soptic admitted to CNN on Tuesday afternoon that the family in fact had health insurance at the time of Soptic’s wife’s death. But it’s still all-powerful, time-traveling, omnipresent Darth Romney’s fault."

The evil of these liars never ceases to amaze me.

Man who knew Obama at Occidental explains that he wanted to foment a Marxist revolution.

"I met him through my girlfriend, Caroline Boss. She had taken two political science classes with young Obama at Occidental College – one in the spring of 1980 and one in the fall of 1980. She was the co-president of the Democrat Socialist Alliance at Occidental College and wanted to introduce young Obama to me over Christmas break 1980 as “one of us.” By that time, I was in my second year of graduate school at Cornell University where I was working on my Ph.D. in political science."
"The young Obama was a garden variety Marxist-Leninist. He and Boss and his sophomore year roommate, Hasan Chandoo, believed that social forces where creating an inevitable Communist revolution in the U.S. and that it was important to have a highly trained elite of educated leaders guide this revolutionary process and oversee it once the revolution took place. Remember, this was at the height of the Cold War in 1980. Ronald Reagan had just been elected president and the USSR was still our mortal enemy. In a lot of ways, the young Obama was more radical than me because by that Christmas break I had stopped believing in the possibility of a Communist revolution and no longer believed a pure Communist economic and social system – one without private property or profits – was possible anymore."

More evidence for my theory that Obama wants to be like an American Lenin.

Obama opens lead up on Romney.

LOCAL:

Another truck crash in construction on I-75 north bound near West Carrollton. I like how they blame this on load shift, not on the construction that makes the trucks veer.

The government wants you to believe they can keep online voter registration information secure because they're so good at everything else.
