STEYER TO TRY AGAIN IN 2016
The Hill: “Billionaire liberal activist Tom Steyer hopes to shame GOP presidential candidates over their climate change skepticism in the 2016 campaign. He is also seeking to tie Republicans to his arch foes: Charles and David Koch, the billionaire brothers who spent more than $100 million in the 2014 midterms behind GOP candidates opposed to environmental regulations…The initial effort, launched Monday with a video, is being dubbed the ‘Hot Seat.’ It’s the first NextGen campaign to feature its dual priorities of highlighting GOP candidates’ climate skepticism and their links to the Kochs.” -Fox News

AND NOW, A WORD FROM CHARLES…
“The situation has changed. The fruits of [President nObama’s] isolationism are now being shown experienced. The beheading of Americans, the collapse of Yemen, giving away everything on the deal with Iran. The country is seeing that that kind of retreat yields really terrible results and I think the problem that [Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.] has is that his association with this non-interventionism is now a problem and he has to tack back, which again undermines his other strength which is his authenticity.” –Charles Krauthammer on “Special Report with Bret Baier” Watch here. -Fox News

Iran Is Too Radical to Recognize Israel, Says ... nObama?
"The notion that we could condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons ... on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won't sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms," Barack nObama explained in an interview with NPR. "And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment. ... We want Iran not to have nuclear weapons precisely because we can't bank on the nature of the regime changing." Believe it or not, nObama is right in a sense. The Iranians are entirely too radical to recognize Israel and, in fact, regularly promise to annihilate the Jewish state. But isn't "fundamental transformation" nObama's specialty?

nObama Admits Iran Won't Be Far From Nukes
Barack nObama may like to insist that his deal ensures Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons, but even he admitted the opposite in an interview with NPR. "Most of [Iran's] enriched uranium is supposed to be set off to the side and diluted; it may, however, remain inside Iran," nObama said. "Eventually, the deal expires. Perhaps the uranium is still there, which is why ... where the regime changes is a significant question." He then said, "[T]hey're not going to have been able to horde a bunch of uranium that somehow they then convert to weapons-grade uranium. What is a more relevant fear would be that in year 13, 14, 15, they have advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point the breakout times would have shrunk almost down to zero." Not to worry, though. He said, "[C]urrently, the breakout times are only about two to three months by our intelligence estimates. So essentially, we're purchasing for 13, 14, 15 years assurances that the breakout is at least a year ... that -- that if they decided to break the deal, kick out all the inspectors, break the seals and go for a bomb, we'd have over a year to respond. And we have those assurances for at least well over a decade." Everything is awesome. But he just put his seal of approval on a future Iranian nuke. -The Patriot Post
Schumer Agrees Congress Must Approve Iran Deal
We didn't have high hopes for soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, but he's proven himself sane on at least one count: joining several other Democrats in pushing for Congress to vote on Barack nObama's deal with Iran. "This is a very serious issue that deserves careful consideration," Schumer said, "and I expect to have a classified briefing in the near future. I strongly believe Congress should have the right to disapprove any agreement and I support the Corker bill which would allow that to occur." He's referring to Sen. Bob Corker's Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, which requires a two-month review period for Congress and a final vote before sanctions on Iran can be lifted.
"[B]efore [the nObama administration] starts unraveling the [sanctions on Iran] that Congress put in place, we want to make sure that they show us the deal," Corker said in a statement prior to Congress' recess. Schumer's support will help. Then again, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest assured, "The sales pitch has only just begun." And Nancy Pulosi may just save nObama in the House. -The Patriot Post

1200 Arrested In Coordinated Raids On Suspected Crime Syndicates
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) teams have arrested more than 1,200 people, in an operation targeting international crime syndicates...This would seem to be a healthy, normal, positive use of government force – targeting criminal gangs and protecting American citizens. Weird, huh? I’m scratching my head, here. In nObama’s post-rational America where good is evil and evil good – where common sense and decency have been completely upended – where the interests of hard-working, law-abiding Americans always come last – this show of government force that actually protects Americans – seems oddly out of character. Are we sure they weren’t targeting tea partiers and pro life groups? https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2015/04/08/1200-arrested-in-coordinated-raids-on-suspected-crime-syndicates-in-282-cities/

United Auto Workers President Breaks With nObama
(rickwells.us) - The President of the United Auto Workers Union, Dennis Williams took a stark departure from his organization’s customary lockstep support of the Democrat and nObama agendas in an opinion piece published in the Detroit News on Wednesday...nObama has initiated his campaign for fast-track authority for his monopolistic secret trade agreements, which restrict Congress to either an up or down vote on the destructive measures written by the very corporations who benefit from its adoption. The agreements take on both trans-Atlantic and trans Pacific forms, with global trade implications. The effects would be far-reaching and the methodology chosen for ramming the packages through is becoming quite familiar. We’ve seen these tactics employed in forcing passage of nobamacare and the December CRominbus spending bill. They are also currently being employed in the Iran nuclear deal. It’s the infamously irresponsible and foolish “you have to pass the bill to find out what’s in the bill” approach, which is intended to hide the true content from the public and its representatives in Congress. http://www.rickwells.us/united-auto-workers-president-breaks-with-obama-fast-track-trade-authorization-is-hov-lane-to-disaster/

Yes They Can Steal Our Elections – Dems Made That A Virtual Certainty
(rickwells.us) - When Nancy Pulosi tried to put the best face on last years November election, she proclaimed that 2016 would be a rebound year for the Democrats...She may have known that their efforts would be bolstered by a significant number of invalid votes being cast for her corrupt comrades in the Democrat Party. It is the kind of thing that just six short years ago would have been dismissed as being “unbelievable.” Now, with 3/4th of the nObama nightmare under our belt, there are few things other than his promises which are beyond belief. J. Christian Adams is a former U.S. Department of Justice official in the Civil Rights Division. He will present a brief to the Supreme Court later this month which exposes that non-citizens are being registered to vote on a wholesale basis as a result of the Motor Voter law which came into existence under Bill Clinton. We all know how important convenience is to the Clintons and how it is often given a higher priority than responsibility, particularly when that convenience involves government documents or their abuse. http://www.rickwells.us/si-se-puede-yes-they-can-steal-our-elections-democrats-have-made-that-a-virtual-certainty-for-2016/

Mark Steyn: Mr. Pres #BlackLivesMatter When They’re Christian, too
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - Conservative columnist Mark Steyn was on fire Wednesday night on Hannity, discussing the president’s increasingly obvious hostility toward Christians...Like most sentient people, Steyn doesn’t think nObama is actually a Christian, and he passionately made the case for Americans to start speaking up and pushing back against the anti-Christian bias that has been a coming from the top in this country. “If I were at that prayer breakfast, I would have shouted out SHAME!” Steyn declared, referring to the Easter Prayer Breakfast where nObama once again, took the opportunity to insult Christians. “I think it’s a pretty poor reflection even on the presumably loyal, liberal Democrats in that audience, that no one objected to it. Because it IS time for people to object to it. This is part of a conscious strategy.” https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2015/04/08/mark-steyn-mr-president-blacklivesmatter-when-theyre-christian-too-video/

Forty ISIS Returned Back To America And Counting
(rickwells.us) - Homeland “Security” Secretary Jeh Johnson admits that his agency and others within the nObama administration who are charged with keeping the American public safe have allowed forty ISIS veterans who are American citizens to return to the United States and that most of them are still walking among us...The number of American terrorists who have gone to fight in Iraq and Syria as part of ISIS is put at 180, so we can expect that all of them will ultimately be allowed by the nObama regime to return to continue their jihad among the people of America. The current count of forty is just the beginning of the potential shadow army they are allowing to be unleashed upon the innocent American people. Johnson struggles with his answer when Leslie Stahl says, “I assume you you’re keeping close tabs on those forty.” He replies, “We have, in fact kept close tabs on those who we believe have left and those who have come back. A number have been arrested or investigated and we have systems in place to track these individuals.” We have systems in place to prevent immigration violations and voter fraud too. Just having a set of policies and procedures doesn’t mean much in itself. http://www.rickwells.us/forty-isis-returned-back-to-america-and-counting-jeh-johnson-has-a-plan-and-a-system-its-called-gambling/

Valerie Jarrett – nObama Wants Your Kids To Be Homosexuals
(rickwells.us) - The Marxists in the White House are taking the next step in state control of our children, deciding that we should not instruct our children that they should behave and grow up in a natural, non-deviant manner...Valerie Jarrett posted a statement Wednesday on the White House website calling for a law or laws which would prevent parents from being able to have their children counselled not to be a homosexual. Aside from the aspect of parents preferring to have normal, healthy children with a normal lifestyle, who do these White House Stalin wannabes think they are? Dictating is so unbecoming a “president,’ even one who is an illegitimate, illegal alien or a closet homosexual. As for Ms Jarrett, everything about her is unbecoming. Jarrett posted, “As part of our dedication to protecting America’s youth, this Administration supports efforts to ban the use of conversion therapy for minors.” She continued to explain and rationalize. “Conversion therapy generally refers to any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Often, this practice is used on minors, who lack the legal authority to make their own medical and mental health decisions. We share your concern about its potentially devastating effects on the lives of transgender as well as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and queer youth.” http://www.rickwells.us/valerie-jarrett-obama-wants-your-kids-to-be-homosexuals-and-they-belong-to-the-government/

Iran Framework Silent on Key Nuclear Site
(Bill Gertz) - The international framework nuclear agreement reached in Switzerland last week makes no specific mention of Iran’s Parchin military facility—a key location of suspected nuclear weapons work...The omission of Parchin in the formal statements released by negotiators after the deal was reached is raising questions about whether Iran will agree to disclose all details of its work on building nuclear arms. “Parchin has been the center of Iran’s weaponization efforts for decades,” said John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-framework-silent-on-key-nuclear-site/

Iran: New Nuke Deal Is ‘Not Acceptable’
(Adam Kredo) - Iran has described an agreement to curb its nuclear program as “not acceptable” days after the United States hailed the new framework deal...Following the announcement of a framework accord that the United States described as a major step in rolling back Iran’s nuclear work, leaders in Tehran began to accuse the nObama administration of lying about the deal’s parameters. The disagreement revolves around a White House fact sheet that outlined concessions Tehran agreed to after negotiations in Lausanne, Switzerland, last week. On Wednesday, Iran rejected most of the concessions it reportedly agreed to undertake. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-new-nuke-deal-is-not-acceptable/

Why won't Virginia's top Republican stand with conservatives
(Jason Pye) - While some Republicans on the national level -- such as Rand Paul and Mike Lee -- are working diligently to reform the nation's civil asset forfeiture laws, Virginia Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment (R-James City) has failed to protect innocent people and their property from this pernicious form of government overreach...Civil asset forfeiture allows law enforcement agencies to seize property on the suspicion that it was used in some sort of an illicit activity. Though the owner is often never charged with, let convicted of a crime. Essentially, individuals may be innocent until proven guilty, but property isn't afford the same presumption of innocence that is a bedrock principle of the American legal system. http://www.freedomworks.org/content/why-wont-virginias-top-republican-stand-principled-conservatives-rand-paul-and-mike-lee

As David Rothbard, the president and co-founder of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a free market think tank, noted in the wake of nObama’s announcement, “The President will have to bypass the law-making process and use executive orders and regulations” to achieve his goal of slashing emissions. “To do so requires tortured readings of the Clean Air Act and other current laws.”
This brings us to the what John L. Casey, founder of the Space and Science Research Corporation, (SSRC), an independent scientific research organization in Orlando, says about the forthcoming November 30 to December 15 U.N. climate conference in Paris which he describes as “doomed” and that’s the good news.
For all the media attention the President will try to generate for this idiocy, Ken Haapala, president of the Science and Environmental Policy Project, says “It is unlikely that the current Senate would approve a binding agreement.” Haapala notes that lawmakers that include the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McCon-nell (R-KY), Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK)m and Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), “have all insisted that the international agreement the U.N. is working on is a treaty and cannot be enforced without Senate approval.”
While most Americans have concluded that “global warming” or “climate change” are low on their list of fears President nObama has elevated this hoax to the top of his agenda for his last two years in office, along with the deal that would give Iran the opportunity to build a nuclear arsenal of weapons.
Bob Schieffer finally retires
(fireandreamitchell.com) - Bob Schieffer is way past his expiration date. The old, CBS liberal codger is finally retiring, allowing a younger progressive liberal hack to take over Face the Nation...Bob Schieffer has been in the business for 46 years, and every one of them has been a cheerleader for the Democrats. Good riddance Bob Schieffer, you wouldn’t be missed. Maybe he’ll go to Hilly Clinton’s campaign now that he’s finally retired from CBS propaganda. He obviously has mastered the liberal propaganda spew. Would probably be a perfect fit. http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2015/04/08/bob-schieffer-finally-retires-old-liberal-cbs-codger/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FireAndreaMitchell+%28Fire+Andrea+Mitchell%21+Exposing+Liberal+bias+cause+the+MSM+doesn%27t+have+to.%29
Using the Global Warming Hoax
to Destroy America
Alan Caruba
(factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com) - When President nObama announced on March 31 that he intends to ensure that the U.S. will slash its “greenhouse gas emissions” 26% below 2005 emissions levels by 2025 in order to keep pledges made to fulfill the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, he failed to mention that such levels would be comparable to what they were in our Civil War era, 150 years ago.
He also failed to mention that the U.S. has made no such pledges as regards the 1992 “Kyoto Treaty” which was resoundingly rejected by the U.S. Senate when then Vice President Al Gore brought it back from the U.N. conference.
There is no need, globally or nationally, to reduce such emissions. It would be a crime against humanity, especially for the millions that would be denied electrical power or would see its cost rise exponentially. “The President has no credible evidence to back up his claims,” said H. Sterling Burnett, a Research Fellow with the free market think tank, The Heartland Institute. “nObama’s climate actions are likely to cause far more harm to people, especially the poor, than any purported threats from global warming.”
“Global warming” and “climate change” are attributed to the use of fossil fuels to manufacture and transport ourselves and our goods, and to create electrical energy, despite the fact that the Earth, its oceans and land areas naturally generate such gases.
There are, for example, more than 1500 potentially active volcanoes and countless others under the oceans. They produce billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other gases that are identified as “greenhouse gas emissions.” The human contribution pales in comparison to natural sources such as the warming ocean surface which releases CO2.
Even so, CO2 constitutes a mere 0.04% of the atmosphere. There is no evidence CO2 plays any role in the Earth’s global temperature.
Do these “greenhouse gas emissions” trap heat? Apparently not because the Earth has been in a natural cooling cycle for the past eighteen years breaking and making records for snow and ice. In the 1970s scientists were predicting a new Ice Age. Ten years later they were predicting “global warming.”
Why then is the President intent on slashing “greenhouse gas emissions” when (1) the Earth is not a greenhouse and (2) doing so would harm our economy for decades to come?
The answer lies in his promise to “fundamentally transform” a nation that does not need transformation except for the reduction of the size and scope of the federal government. Its economic system is the best in the world. Its military is the strongest. Its agriculture feeds Americans and is exported to other nations.
Significantly, “the President offers no suitable replacement for the lost generating capacity beyond pointing toward wind and solar which is not up to the task.” When nObama took office, coal-fired plants provided 50% of U.S. electricity. It is now down to 40% and headed lower if nObama has his way.
Rothbard warns that “Global warming campaigners see this presidency and the Paris U.N. Summit as the best chance they are likely to see to take control of American energy. The ramifications are disastrous for American freedom and prosperity.”
Its announced goal of imposing global limits on greenhouse gas emissions will not be mandatory and “President nObama has effectively gutted any meaningful agreement among the major industrialized nations, by having granted to the planet’s largest CO2 producer, China, free license to build as many coal power plants as they wish, and emit as many gigatons of greenhouse gases as they wish until 2030.”
This is, in fact, a global trend as many developing nations such as India do the same thing. Nor will they suddenly shut down electricity production fifteen years from now.
This huge, international farce formerly known as the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, began as an international treaty created in 1992. The U.S. Senate refused to ratify the Kyoto Treaty, but pledges to reduce greenhouse gases were made by 33 out of 195 countries, called their “Intended National Determined Contribution” are the main feature at the forthcoming Paris conference.
Sen. McCon-nell warned, “Considering that two-thirds of the U.S. Federal government hasn’t even signed off on the Clean Power Plan and 13 states have already pledged to fight it, our international partners should proceed with caution before entering into a binding, unattainable deal.”
While most Americans have concluded that “global warming” or “climate change” are low on their list of fears President nObama has elevated this hoax to the top of his agenda for his last two years in office, along with the deal that would give Iran the opportunity to build a nuclear arsenal of weapons.
He doesn’t want to “transform” America. He wants to destroy it.
