“global climate emergency,”---50 World Mayors Fly To Denmark To Fight Climate Change | Climate Dispatch

50 World Mayors Fly To Denmark To Fight Climate Change | Climate Dispatch
"Mayors from 50 world cities flew to Denmark last week to discuss ways to address the “global climate emergency,” pledging to “do something about it” before they headed homewards again on Sunday.
Telling adults to eat less than 300 grams of red meat – about the equivalent of two fillet steaks – a week was one initiative they could agree on.
The World Mayors Summit, which brought together more than 50 mayors from the world’s biggest and wealthiest cities, was addressed by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, who said, “Because of what’s happened to our national governments, mayors are on the [climate change] front line now.
...Over the past decade, C40 has convened six Mayors Summits, hosted by London (2005), New York (2007), Seoul (2009), Sao Paulo (2011), Johannesburg (2014) and Mexico City (2016)..."

If it was so effective, businesses would be pouring their OWN money into it.-----Keep Pure Michigan Spending at $0 – Michigan Capitol Confidential

Keep Pure Michigan Spending at $0 – Michigan Capitol Confidential

• The program is ineffective and a waste of taxpayer dollars

...The appropriation should stay at zero. 

...Given that it is demonstrably ineffective, it deserves, perhaps more than any state-run program, to be zeroed out.
...Skeptical of state assertions, the Mackinac Center did its own study. 

Its scholars collected 39 years of publicly available data from 48 states and created a statistical model designed to isolate the effects of state tourism promotion on the economy. 

We found some, but overall, it was a huge net negative.
For every $1 million increase in state tourism promotion spending, there was a corresponding increase in economic activity of just $20,000 in the accommodations (hotels, motels, etc.) industry. No, that’s not a typo. 

In other words, for every $98 in program spending, everyone in this sector shared an increase of just two dollars — and other sectors of the tourism industry did worse. 

There was no impact at all in the recreation and amusement sector and only a tiny one on incomes for the arts and entertainment sector. Studies done by others also question the efficacy of state-funded tourism programs.
It’s bad enough that the program wastes money. 

Even worse, Pure Michigan is fundamentally unfair. 

It takes money from lots of people and industries and gives it to the state government in the hope it will directly benefit a few..."

At Yom Kippur, rabbi cites sins of Trump's enemies - WND:

A rabbi is calling out the enemies of President Trump for their sins in the hope that "God will transform the darkness residing in their hearts, the toxin of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), and they will be cleansed and spare Mr. Trump, and the country, further abuse."
The column by Rabbi Aryeh Spero, president of the Caucus for America, appeared at the American Thinker.

Taibbi: Impeachment Would Establish 'Intelligence Community Veto over Elections'
"...Taibbi’s article comes after he criticized corporate media’s framing of the Deep Stater as a non-partisan “whistleblower,”...

From Taibbi’s newsletter: 
...My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump.
Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall.
...The Trump presidency is the first to reveal a full-blown schism between the intelligence community and the White House.
Senior figures in the CIA, NSA, FBI and other agencies made an open break from their would-be boss before Trump’s inauguration, commencing a public war of leaks that has not stopped.
...I don’t believe most Americans have thought through what a successful campaign to oust Donald Trump would look like.
...The real problem would be the precedent of a de facto intelligence community veto over elections, using the lunatic spookworld brand of politics that has dominated the last three years of anti-Trump agitation..."

Watch: Virtue Signaling Swedes Say They'd Take Refugees Into Their Home Until Presented With One

Watch: Virtue Signaling Swedes Say They'd Take Refugees Into Their Home Until Presented With One
"If there’s one thing I love about people who virtue signal, it’s that when it comes time to practice what they preach, they suddenly have excuses as to why they don’t practice the virtues about which they’ve been preaching to you.

Take, for instance, the good people of Sweden. 
The country leans so heavily left that it’s fallen over into the muck of its own making. 
It’s welcomed in refugees from the middle east, and as a result, has seen a spiking crime and rape epidemic that nabbed it the title of “rape capital of the west.”

Instead of helping the people of its country, the Swedish government went about covering up its rape statistics. 

...Recently, a small group set out to get the reactions of Swedes when asked if they would be willing to take refugees in themselves. Every person in the video answered they would.

They were likely feeling pretty proud of themselves as they answered the question, but then the video makers suddenly put their convictions to the test as the Swedes were then presented with a migrant they could take in. A grown man named “Ali,” who needed a place to live.

Naturally, the people who were so welcoming just moments ago began desperately searching any excuse in the book to not have to take in the migrant and all their talk about helping those in need looked oh so foolish.

Swedish Virtue Signaling EXPOSED!

Swedes were asked if they should take "Refugees" into their homes, virtually all answered “YES!”

But seconds later, when they are given the opportunity to take in an actual "Refugee"....they are singing a very different tune! #LeftistHypocrites

It makes you wonder what kind of society we’d be living in if people were just more honest with themselves and others about their beliefs...

But this simple video just unveiled the truth about virtue signaling. 
It’s many people creating problems for others that they themselves wouldn’t take on. 
This video may have taken place in Sweden, but it’s a principle that applies to everyone."

Good News: Mississippi Woman Convicted After Trying to Win Votes Via Bribes | The Heritage Foundation:

And, as Canton’s residents are discovering, the worst of the bunch might just be Courtney Rainey.  Courtney Rainey—Canton’s director of human and cultural needs, school board member, and (ironically) judicial candidate—was convicted and sentenced Sept. 23 to 15 years in prison on charges of witness intimidation after she tried to stymie the criminal investigation into her earlier efforts at voter fraud.  While many were given the opportunity to enter pretrial diversion programs or step down from their offices, Rainey was not given the same leniency in her sentence—and for good reason.

Schiff: On second thought, I shouldn't have misled everyone over our contact with the whistleblower - TheBlaze:

Last month, Schiff said neither he nor his committee had contact with the whistleblower. He also said that he might never have found out about the whistleblower complaint if the Intelligence Committee inspector general had not brought it to the committee's attention.
These two statements, were, of course, not true at all.

During Friday’s “Fox & Friends,” network host Jeanine Pirro weighed in on the anonymous whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump over his phonecall with Ukraine’s president.
Pirro said the whistleblower wanting to testify against Trump in writing behind closed doors is further evidence of the CIA “attempting a coup against” Trump, questioning why the whistleblower wants to remain anonymous.

Don Surber: USA must save a 3rd World nation

Don Surber: USA must save a 3rd World nation

"Last month, American missionaries went to clean up a village in a Third World nation. 
The volunteers picked up 50 tons of garbage in this backward land. 
Nowhere is the gap between the rich and the poor greater. The poor live in tents, while the rich reside in the most expensive houses in the world.
The poor face typhoid and other debilitating diseases that were eliminated in civilized nations. 
People poop in the street for lack of indoor plumbing.
...Elsewhere in this nation state, electricity is a luxury as the power has been cut off to hundreds of thousands of citizens in preparation for a natural disaster.
...Something must be done to save this land from itself. Taking over this backward Third World nation would be easy. 
...But that would mean spending trillions on another foray into nation building.
California sadly has very little hope.
It wasn't always that way."
