| Environment: The global warming alarmists repeat the line endlessly. They claim that there is a consensus among scientists that man is causing climate change. Fact is, they´re not even close. Yes, many climate scientists believe that emissions of greenhouse gases are heating the earth. Of course there are some who don´t. But when confining the question to geoscientists and engineers, it turns out that only 36% believe that human activities are causing Earth´s climate to warm. This is the finding of the peer-reviewed paper "Science or Science Fiction? Professionals´ Discursive Construction of Climate Change" and this

This is without a doubt one of the worst written, most incoherent pieces I have ever read. It even stoops to making every sentence a paragraph! Does IBD have no editors to rewrite such amateurish stuff?
But it is very short and worth reading twice to figure it out because it contains good data on the growth in the number of skeptics and in the size of the ice pack. Too bad the author left out the requisite link to the original document so we can read the full story.

The EPA has a web page that still claims lead paint causes people to act crazy or have learning disabilities. Lead paint checks in rentals have been going on for years and years,it´s hard for me to believe there´s still these dangerous houses around.
Then there was the vaccine link to autism.When the lawyers couldn´t come up with enough clients,they invented the autism spectrum which practically included any abnormality in a kid who got a vaccine. Now diseases are making a comeback because parents are afraid to get their kids vaccinated.
The pattern of liberal myths always have a huge money making scheme behind them,global warming is just the latest invention.

It has been said that an actuary is someone who really wanted to be an accountant but didn´t have the personality for it. See who´s laughing now. Things are starting to get very interesting, actuarially-speaking. Federal bankruptcy judge Christopher Klein ruled on April 1 that Stockton, Calif., can file for bankruptcy via Chapter 9 (Chapter 11´s ugly cousin). The ruling may start the actuarial dominoes falling across the country, because Stockton´s predicament stems from financial assumptions that are hardly restricted to one improvident California municipality.

´This is about these families and families all across the country who are saying, ´Let´s make it a little harder for our kids to get gunned down,´" President Obama declared Monday, in unusually demagogic remarks even by his standards. He added, "What´s more important to you: our children, or an A-grade from the gun lobby?" Mr. Obama is lapsing into such crude appeals—support his gun-control agenda or suborn mass child murder—because he knows his real problems aren´t the gun lobby. They´re members of his own party who answer to law-abiding voters who support Second Amendment rights.

BEIRUT -- Al-Qaida´s branch in Iraq and the most powerful rebel extremist group in Syria have officially joined ranks against President Bashar Assad to forge a potentially formidable militant force in the Middle East. The merger of the Islamic State in Iraq and Jabhat al-Nusra forms a new entity that could be an even stronger opponent in the fight to topple Assad and become a dominant player in what eventually replaces his regime. The new group, called the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, underscores the growing confidence and muscle of Islamist radicals fighting on the rebel side

Family: An MSNBC contributor revisits the statist notion that while you gave birth to your children and feed and clothe them, they are only on loan to you by their true parent — a benevolent and all-knowing government. Melissa Harris-Perry, an African-American professor at Tulane, has endorsed the concept of human ownership by the state, something we thought history would teach her is a bad thing, saying in a promo for MSNBC that "we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their

Corruption: Flying Newtown victims´ families on Air Force One to lobby Congress is an obvious abuse of presidential power. Can Republicans now give Fast and Furious victims´ families taxpayer-funded flights to Washington? Saul Alinsky disciple President Obama knows well that lies are often an indispensable tool. Breitbart´s A.W.R. Hawkins last week noted that in his book "Rules For Radicals," Chicago´s Marxist father of community organizing wrote of refraining from destroying a politician by revealing embarrassing facts of his private life. "But just when his followers thought there might be something noble about the radical," Hawkins pointed out, "Alinsky instructed them:

Imperial Presidency: Rather than celebrate our country´s unique heritage of limited government, the president complains that he´s constrained by the Founders. Here´s a man hungry for raw power. Just so that we won´t be accused of taking his comments out of context, here they are: "The government is us," President Obama said Wednesday in Denver. "These officials are elected by you. ... I am elected by you. I am constrained, as they are constrained, by a system that our Founders put in place. It´s a government of and by and for the people."

There used to be a formulation of cynical news editors to determine American news priorities for mass murder. It ran something like: 1,000 dead Bangladeshis = 100 dead Italians = 10 dead Americans. So how many dead American babies does it take to make the news? I wrote two-and-a-half weeks ago about the U.S. media’s determination to ignore a story that’s inconvenient to their biases. But, given the gun-banners’ ceaseless grief-feasting on Sandy Hook, at some point doesn’t the corpse count in Philadelphia merit maybe, oh, a thousandth of the attention?

The trial details are nothing short of sensational: A doctor accused of killing seven newborns and a young woman at a filthy Philadelphia clinic strewn with body parts and described as a “slaughterhouse.” It’s big news in Philadelphia, but nationally, not so much. The lack of coverage is a problem for a growing chorus of conservative and media critics, who allege that the scant national media attention can be attributed not to the courtroom drama but the politics of abortion. Dr. Kermit Gosnell was an abortionist, meaning that any coverage of the trial risks painting

Harry Reid announced today that there will likely be a gun vote on Thursday. "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) likely has the votes on gun control legislation to clear its first procedural hurdle -- a victory for the gun control community, though one that hardly guarantees the bill´s passage," reports the Huffington Post. "The majority leader announced on Tuesday evening he would submit for a vote the bill to expand background checks, implement a federal trafficking statute, and enhance school safety measures. That would set up a Senate vote on Thursday." The Huffington Post suggests Reid has the support he needs:

RUSH: Gay infertility. It is... (chuckles) It´s about mandated insurance coverage for the inability to have babies. I know you´re scratching your head. "Wait, wait, wait. There´s no such thing as ´gay infertility.´" Oh, yes, there is now. The language doesn´t mean anything anymore, folks. Truth doesn´t mean anything anymore. Language doesn´t mean anything. So if a bunch of activists want to create the concept of "gay infertility" and then tax all the rest of us to compensate them for the fact that they can´t have babies, then that´s gonna happen. You haven´t missed anything yet.

Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
