Delingpole: Trump Vindicated; Now Even the UN Confirms That the Paris Climate Accord Was a Complete Waste of Space

 

The United Nations has officially confirmed what many of us, including President Trump, knew already: the Paris climate accord was a complete waste of space.

As UN Environment admits in its latest Emissions Shortfall report, even when you add up all the CO2 reduction pledges made by all the signatory nations at Paris, it still comes to only a third of what is supposedly necessary to stop the world warming by more than 2 degrees C by the end of this century.

According to UN Environment’s head Eric Solheim, the world is heading for disaster:

“One year after the Paris Agreement entered into force, we still find ourselves in a situation where we are not doing nearly enough to save hundreds of millions of people from a miserable future. Governments, the private sector and civil society must bridge this catastrophic climate gap.”

Another way of looking at it, though, is that President Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris accord is now fully vindicated. Had the Agreement been ratified, the U.S. would have handed countries like China and India a huge competitive advantage over the American economy. But – as even the UN now admits – it would have made no discernible difference to the alleged problem of “global warming.” So what, exactly would have been the point?

Should Gone with the Wind Go Away?

Via Billy

In the wake of increased PC attacks on Margaret Mitchell’s 1937 novel Gone With the Wind, I decided to undertake an ornery, contrarian, and politically incorrect action and plow through the novel’s 1,036 pages just for the heck of it, reacquainting myself with an acknowledged classic (which earned a Pulitzer Prize for the author) and hence be able to reflect on a cultural phenomenon with my own refreshed insights.

It is impossible to reflect on the novel without making some comparisons with its 1939 film adaptation. The film, of necessity, tightens the storyline and deletes certain characters (most notably Scarlett’s multiple children). The movie Mammy is a more dominating presence than in the novel but a similar towering moral force. Also missing from the film is the overt presence of the Ku Klux Klan in the Reconstruction period and the participation of Ashley Wilkes and Scarlett’s second husband, Frank Kennedy, in some of its activities. As far as the movie version is concerned, it defies any attempts that might be made to remake it, however uncomfortable some scenes might strike us today (Could anyone play Rhett Butler after Clark Gable? It’s difficult to imagine).

CNN does split screen reporting from New York, as if the two gal reporters were in different locales, but they are really about five feet from one another.

Why Canada Must Fight For Nationalism In Times of Liberal Passive Subversive Terrorism

Via Cousin Dale

Dale said that he would be arrested if this photo had been taken in Canada.
 

Hello. I've had a challenging year like many, and been vastly unable to speak up or advocate to the degree I want to. While it's been great to see Canadians join together and speak out using our Freedoms, it's become obvious our Freedoms are under severe attack. I've never seen such media ignorance and bias in this country, and the actions of the Liberal Party of Canada (in my opinion) are that of passive subversive terrorists and traitors. We have allowed extremists in our midst that seem hellbent on selling off Canada to a global United Nations agenda. If that sounds crooked and jaded to you.....then you have not educated yourself on world politics and what the U.N. has already done to other nations.

We are being victimized, our economy stagnated, and our resource sectors have been slowed or shut down for strategic reasons. There are taxes and tariffs on nearly all major building commodities, killing new housing and building renovations. You think oil is just the problem for mass job loss? I've seen roughly 60% of western Canada's cabinet making facilities shut down. Talented and very qualified people didn't lose one job last year.....some lost two jobs or more. We have broad amounts of taxation to all and taxation applied to provinces never seen before....this is deliberate.

For many in Trump's America, a year to crow about

Via Billy

With unemployment declining, the local truck plant expanding and optimism on the rise, one industrial heartland region has become a microcosm of the reinvigorated America promised by Donald Trump.

Seen from Williamstown, 300 miles (500 kilometers) west of Washington, the political tumult since Trump's November 8, 2016 victory appears artificial to those who welcome his leadership as a break from business as usual.

The sleepy West Virginia town is in Wood County where 70 percent of voters celebrated the anti-establishment victory. A year later, they are pledging their loyalty to the Trump revolution, praising the billionaire businessman-turned-national-leader for already delivering on his declaration to reverse their declining fortunes.

 In an elbow of the industrial Ohio River basin, barges are filled with freight. Factories lining nearby Route 7 belch smoke and steam. On the highways, trucks are loaded with sections of pipeline and water tanks used in the region's shale gas drilling.

The Fighting Gamecock: Thomas Sumter

 

Thomas Sumter in his encounters with the Indian na­tions enters the pages of recorded history. He had prob­ably been present at the fall of Fort Duquesne and in the campaign across the Ohio River and had learned some­thing of the red man during this early service. In any case, he was chosen to accompany Lieutenant Henry Timberlake to treat with the Over Hill Cherokees after they sought peace rather than face, from Byrd’s troops, more of what they had just received at the hands of Colonel James Grant and his mixed force of regulars and South Carolina militia. The embassy was a great adven­ture for the young Virginian as he suffered the hardships of the wilderness, hunted to survive, swam rivers, visited Echota and other Cherokee towns and competed with the braves in their own games and contests.

Finally, with a peace concluded, several of the Cherokee chiefs accom­panied their diplomatic visitors to Williamsburg. There the Indians asked that their new white friends come with them as companions and interpreters on a voyage to Eng­land, for an interview between Chiefs Ostenaco, Conne Shote and Wooc and “the King their father.” Lieutenant Governor Fauquier agreed, and Thomas Sumter was soon on his way to England.

The combined party arrived at Plymouth on June 16, 1762. and continued in England (where they made a sensation) for over three months.

Justice Department: US needs to double the number of immigration judges

Via Billy

James McHenry, acting director of the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review, said the Trump administration would have to double the number of immigration judges to make a dent in the record-high number of pending cases.

"We've run several estimations and we've asked for additional judges," he told the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration and border security Wednesday. "I think up to a total of 700 is where it starts to turn around."

Currently, EOIR employs 336 immigration judges nationwide and is allowed up to 384 judges.
"The next budget request brings it up to 449. The president has outlined a policy that would add 370, that gets to approximately 700," McHenry said.

Sarah Sanders: One of Trump's flaws is having to deal with the press every day

 

Sarah Sanders said Wednesday that dealing with the press every day is one of President Trump's flaws.

"Yesterday from that podium you said all of our leaders have flaws, Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Kennedy. What are President Trump's flaws?" NBC News' White House correspondent Peter Alexander asked Sarah Sanders.

"Probably that he has to deal with you guys on a daily basis," Sanders said of the press.

‘Outright Act of Terror’ – White South Africans Protest Farm Murders, 74 Killed in 2017 So Far

Thousands of mainly white, Afrikaans-speaking South Africans have taken to the streets to protest the ongoing epidemic of savage farm murders sweeping the country.

The October 30th #BlackMonday protests were organised after civil rights group AfriForum released figures claiming the murder rate for South African farmers was 156 per 100,000 — putting it well above the already high national average and making farming in the troubled ex-colony arguably the most dangerous occupation in the world outside a warzone.

At the same time, the number of slain farmers, farm workers, and family members — most of them white — had hit 71, surpassing the estimated death toll for 2016.

However, local news outlet Times Live reported another elderly farmer hacked to death on the day of the #BlackMonday protest itself, and another three farmers were killed the day after, increasing the AfriForum total as of October 31st to 74.

Definitive figures are not available, as the African National Congress (ANC) government ordered the authorities to stop releasing details about the ethnicity of murder victims in 2007.
