‘A new study has found that climate predictions used by scientists, forecasters, and academics have wildly overestimated global warming, forecasting on average two times more warming than actually occurred.
As Fox News reports, a study in the science journal Nature Climate Change “compared 117 climate predictions made in the 1990s to the actual amount of warming.” And out of those 117 predictions, according to the study’s author, “three were roughly accurate and 114 overestimated the amount of warming. On average, the predictions forecasted two times more global warming than actually occurred.”….’              Breitbart

Never doubt that this filth will do again what they’ve done to millions of their own people to date.

Yes it is. It always is.

‘NEW FEDERAL CONSUMER AGENCY reportedly wants to monitor US credit card and mortgage transactions through a controversial data-mining program that sounds eerily similar to controversial NSA programs.’

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands that feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were even our countrymen!  Sam Adams. 1776

Sen. Jeff Sessions: American Workers ‘Sacrificed Completely’ in Immigration Plan
“Over the next decade, the Senate plan provides roughly 30 million mostly lower-skill immigrants with permanent residency through green cards,” Sessions writes. “Less than 10 percent of these green cards are allocated through the Gang’s alleged merit system. Moreover, green-card holders will be able to petition in future years to bring in their relatives, including elderly parents, commencing a permanent expansion of chain migration unrelated to skill set.”
In addition to that massive influx of new green cards, Sessions notes that the Senate bill “doubles the number of non-immigrant guest workers admitted each year from approximately 600,000 today to an average of 1.2 million annually over the next decade.”
“In the first year of the bill, due to the inclusion of family members, the number will spike to 1.6 million, with only 7 percent doing agricultural work,” Sessions writes. “The other 93 percent will be hired to fill jobs in virtually every sector, including construction work, nursing, teaching at public schools, driving trucks, heavy equipment operators, mining and manufacturing.”
Meanwhile, Sessions points out, American workers are struggling to find work…’
Meanwhile, large American companies are laying off thousands of workers while at the same time lobbying for this immigration plan. The agenda’s not too hard to work out, is it?

‘PASADENA, Calif. — By today’s standards, the spacecraft’s technology is laughable: it carries an 8-track tape recorder and computers with one-240,000th the memory of a low-end iPhone. When it left Earth 36 years ago, it was designed as a four-year mission to Saturn…’
And now it’s voyaging beyond the solar system. What a stunning achievement!
