‘World cools on global warming as green fatigue sets in
Public concern about environmental issues including climate change has slumped to a 20-year low since the financial crisis, a global study reveals.
Fewer people now consider issues such as CO2 emissions, air and water pollution, animal species loss, and water shortages to be “very serious” than at any time in the last two decades, according to the poll of 22,812 people in 22 countries including Britain and the US…’

‘American Student Punished for Refusing to Recite Mexican Pledge
‘The Thomas More Law Center filed the suit on behalf of Brenda Brinsdon alleging the McAllen Independent School District violated the 15-year-old girl’s constitutional rights when she was forced to recite the Mexican pledge and sing the Mexican national anthem.
Brinsdon, who is the daughter of a Mexican immigrant and an American father, refused. She believed it was un-American to pledge a loyalty oath to another country.
Ironically, the school district has a policy that prohibits a school from compelling students to recite the American Pledge of Allegiance…’       source

No doubt the Kenyan’s Saudi friends will be applying pressure to prevent this looming calamity….
‘The U.S. is likely to surpass Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil producer as early as 2020.
In its annual world energy outlook, the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) says the global energy map “is being redrawn by the resurgence in oil and gas production in the United States …”
The key to this U.S. energy boom has been technological innovation and risk-taking funded by private capital. Specifically, the private oil and gas industry pioneered the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) to tap unconventional deposits such as shale that once were technologically out of reach. It also wouldn’t have happened if the industry wasn’t able to drill on private land, free from federal regulation…’    WSJ

so why would anybody think it will work in America?
‘Birmingham, Alabama is considered by many to be the birthplace of the civil rights movement. Today, African-Americans in Birmingham benefit from a numerical majority in the population, corresponding majorities in government jobs, and political control of the city. But civil rights won’t address what ails the city now.
Birmingham is recognized as one of the most violent and poorly-run cities in the nation. The city runs a massive deficit, and is county seat of Jefferson County, which recently cut a deal with a European bank as part of the largest government bankruptcy in U.S. history…’                                    source

‘UNIVERSITIES will cope with an expected influx of international students with the guidance of a new ministerial council.
….The International Education Advisory Council, led by businessman Michael Chaney…
…Mr Chaney said there would need to be a particular focus on making sure Australia had excellent infrastructure to handle the influx of students..
….The expected 520,000 international students here in 2020 would be worth $19.1 billion to the economy.
..Some of the council’s 35 recommendations address this in detail.
They include a comprehensive review of off-campus accommodation and ensuring international students have access to transport concessions, public hospitals and work experience…’
“Worth 19.1 billion to the economy”, eh..where did they get that figure from? And it will be worth a great deal of money to a whole lot of businessmen who set up shonky “colleges” offering useless qualifications. (useless, that is, except for the purpose of gaining permanent residence in Australia.)
What this mob want to do is make a great deal of money from foreign students, while the taxpayer picks up the tab for the infrastructure– which those who profit from the students ought to supply themselves.
It’s a scam.
