Scientists Ask Obama To Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics under RICO

#1  Considering NOAA is massively ramping up their temperature fraud, might want to rethink that guys.

Also just the fact that these "scientists" are wanting to shut down people that criticize their work I think shows just how desperate they are as they know they are losing the popular fight.

Also, you idiots try it and you will have armed forced used against you. This is a promise.

Trump Faulted for not Arguing with Questioner
"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," an unidentified man who spoke at a question-and-answer town hall event in Rochester, New Hampshire asked the mogul. "You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."
Some people know that. Others think he may have been born in America, but that doesn't make him an American.
Donald Trump came under fire Thursday night for his handling of a question at a town hall about when the U.S. can "get rid" of Muslims, for failing to take issue with that premise and an assertion that President Barack Obama is Muslim.
He didn't make the politically-correct correction. But I thought the idea was not to wrestle with a pig.
A seemingly bewildered Trump interrupted the man, chuckling, "We need this question. This is the first question."
Seemingly bewildered? Maybe he was faking it? You suppose the question was a plant, like Champ and Hilly's 'press conferences'?
"Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us," the man, wearing a "Trump" T-shirt, continued. "That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"

The real estate mogul did not correct the questioner about his claims about Obama before moving on to another audience member.

His comments were unexpectedly quickly denounced by Democrats. Hillary Clinton, the party's front-runner for president, personally tweeted late Thursday that Trump's remarks were "just plain wrong."
Did the Beest tweet from a secure smartphone?

#3  Trump can't be responsible for what some guy says. He's supposed to suppress and condemn what the guy says? Trump said there a lot of things we will look into. Come on, give me a break. Suppression of speech is becoming a huge problem in the U.S. Some of the questions the guy asked should have been raised by the lame stream media before Obumble got elected. We don't have a free press in this country anymore. They have abdicated their position and have become mouthpieces for the Democratic/Socialist Party. Had they performed as they should have, we wouldn't be in the plight we are in.

#4  I don't know how many people watched the so-called debates. I agree with Kasich who said if he were in the viewing audience, he would turned the debate off long ago. CNN was absolutely awful. The whole debate was a set up to discredit the Republicans and pave the way for the Democrats. Jake Tapper tried to play one candidate off another to get a food fight. CNN is absolutely deplorable. The Pubs ought to refuse to take part in anything that CNN does. CNN or the MSM should not be let near to anything to do with elections. They are irresponsible.

Judicial Watch: State Department Asked Hillary Clinton to Delete Copies of Classified Benghazi Emails Four Months Ago
(Washington, DC) -- Judicial Watch today released Obama administration correspondence containing a letter from Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick F. Kennedy asking Hillary Clinton's lawyer to destroy all electronic copies of a classified email found in records Clinton decided to turn over to the State Department six months before. Clinton's attorney, David Kendall, rejected the request as Congress and other investigators had demanded electronic records be preserved. The correspondence also shows Hillary Clinton has ignored a demand to turn over all electronic copies of the approximately 55,000 pages of emails she previously returned in paper form. The correspondence was disclosed by the State and Justice Departments in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in which Judicial Watch is asking a court to issue a preservation order to protect any emails Clinton has yet to turn over, including those emails in which she and her lawyers unilaterally determined to be personal. (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (1:12-cv-02034))

The May 22, 2015, letter from Kennedy to Clinton attorney Kendall reads in part:

I am writing in reference to the following e-mail that is among the approximately 55,000 pages that were identified as potential federal records and produced on behalf of former Secretary Clinton to the Depa1tment of State on December 5, 2014: E-mail forwarded by Jacob Sullivan to Secretary Clinton on November 18, 2012 at 8:44 pm (Subject: Fw: FYI- Report of arrests -possible Benghazi connection).
So now we know they knew and did nothing but lie and obstruct the judicial process. Of course most here on the Burg suspected this matter to be much larger than simply Clinton and a few close aides. Events are now approaching the 'too big to fail' category.

Valerie Jarrett Meets With Black Lives Matter Leaders At The White House
[BREITBART] President Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett met with Black Lives Matter activists yesterday at the White House, the latest sign that the Obama administration is involved with the controversial protest group.

#4  ‘Black Lives Matter’ was founded by militant feminists Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opel Tometi, with Garza widely recognized as the most influential of the three.

In an article which details the philosophical foundation of ‘Black Lives Matter’, Garza cites, “Assata’s powerful demand in my organizing work.”

Assata is a reference to Assata Shakur, otherwise known as Joanne Deborah Chesimard, a radical feminist and Marxist revolutionary who escaped from prison in 1979 while serving a life sentence for the murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster.

On the night of May 2, 1973, Shakur, along with two other accomplices, killed Foerster execution-style at point-blank range during a routine traffic stop on the New Jersey Turnpike in East Brunswick.

For Shakur, the shooting was the culmination of years of militant radicalism during which she joined and left the Black Panther Party because it was not violent enough, before subsequently joining the Black Liberation Army, a domestic terror outfit responsible for bombings and assassinations throughout the 1970’s which claimed the lives of 13 police officers.

#9  Warning for what? Why did you censor that? You not understand the meaning of gibbet?

ValJar should be hanged for treason for her actions that are consistently against the US vis-a-vis Iran. This is more political exploitation of a similar nature. Hanging has been the historical punishment for treason.

It was in no way a threat against a public official if that was your reasoning - I think you were completely off base to do that.

#10  OldSpook.

Here at Rantburg if you say capital punishment is deserving for terrorist related leaders outside the US the mods are all for it

Here at Rantburg if you say capital punishment for leaders of cop killers/terrorist leaders inside the US the mods get their panties in a wad.

And then you told whose sand box it is. That tells you everything.

Precisely, Ebbomosh Hupemp2664. This is Fred Pruitt's private living room, one he spent thousands of hours of his own time and thousands of dollars of his own money maintaining and improving when he could be doing other things. The rest of us are welcome guests here, so long as we don't pee on the couch and poop on the carpet. Or make sure our tobacco juice lands in the spittoon after we've taken off our spurs to keep from destroying floors and carpets, if you prefer that metaphor.

This fear of the corrupt US regime by the management of this site is a disgrace.

#15  Black Lives matter is squandering emotional bank. At some point, black Americans need to look at how democratic policies have destroyed black families and remember that it was the democratic party that was the party of slavery and that republicans are the party of Lincoln.

Cowering behind the key board you send your brave young people to die without doing your part domestically against anti-American dangers at home. The result is the fight there and here is lost because of your lazy, cowardliness stateside.

As you bragged of going to the funerals of our young people who died for you for nothing you moderate the outrage and you moderate the demand for justice for the orchestrated invasion and destruction of this nation. You are a coward. You are a loser.

I came to realize as the defeats to America continue to mount. That day when you will realize it is too late to do anything is coming closer and closer. This site is has been useless.

You are a self-centered, self-righteous, coward that doesn't have the moral fortitude to win a fight where and when it matters and you have lost all of your wars there because you lose here.

Jarrett met personally with their leaders at the White House. She is supporting their murderous agenda. If Congress does not remove her the people will seek justice. And if she has to be taken out feet first by the people for the murder of our police officers, so be it.

#21  It is frustrating a meeting with Jarret is greater access to the levers than with Obama.

It is both cowardly and telling that they do not meet with Obama, as the growing evidence shows its followers are murdering people, and that by not speaking against it, they are encouraging, and now anointing BLM with political recognition.

I find it hilarious that black lives matters and bureau of land management have to contend with most odious acronym.

Cowering behind the key board you send your brave young people to die without doing your part domestically against anti-American dangers at home. The result is the fight there and here is lost because of your lazy, cowardliness stateside.

I do not understand what you expect us to do about our domestic fifth column in the absence of a legal counter. You are witnessing a society so bound up in rules and regulations by a hostile domestic entity that there is little outside of illegal and violent action that can be done. For you to blame people of limited, or no means for their failures in countering that hostile entity is unfair and misleading and dishonest, if you will.
As you bragged of going to the funerals of our young people who died for you for nothing you moderate the outrage and you moderate the demand for justice for the orchestrated invasion and destruction of this nation. You are a coward. You are a loser.
We don't moderate outrage. We do moderate when someone suggests violent or illegal action. And I can accept being a loser as long as I get to play the game fairly. Anything else is a gratuitous personal insult.
I came to realize as the defeats to America continue to mount. That day when you will realize it is too late to do anything is coming closer and closer. This site is has been useless.
This site is not here to counter defeats inflicted on America by its domestic foes. It is here to chronicle terrorism. That is all. Everything else is just that: everything else. If you expected Rantburg.com to become your personal vehicle for political change, you should have asked first if that is its purpose, and you would have been set right. Instead, we are hearing about all the things you assumed the site was here for and not it actual purpose.
You are a self-centered, self-righteous, coward that doesn't have the moral fortitude to win a fight where and when it matters and you have lost all of your wars there because you lose here.
I can fight and I can win a fight, just as long as I know all the rules, and where the gunfire is coming from. I may be a coward when the time comes to counter direct hostile action, but I won't know that until it does come.

#23  I still dont understand what the problem is with calling for the hanging of a treasonous government official - after all it is in the books and part of English Common Law for ages. 18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason.

That statement of mine was precisely and historically worded - the choice of the word gibbet (a public hanging place for execution) was deliberate, so as to avoid other contexts (like lynching). I dont understand what the offense is, nor why you saw it.

Muslim youth 'ticking clock' inventor invited to White House
[Guardian] Ahmed, in his curtained room, said he just wanted to keep making things. "I've always had to re-use the parts to save money," he said. He picked up a laptop and sleepily pecked at the keys. Keeping up with social media became impossible days ago.

But he looks forward to meeting the president, he said, who had invited him to bring his clock to the White House. But he can't, just yet, he said.

"The police still have it."
The only clock I'm interested in is pictured here.
A.k.a. Clock Boy.

#1  A transvestite, pro-abortion nun, gay bishop, and Muslim kid who invented a ticking clock went into a bar were invited to the Whitehouse. All that's missing are the butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker and the partridges in a pear tree. I guess they are not weird enough for POTUS' tastes. I noticed that he didn't invite any Christians or police officers. Well, maybe the gay bishop might qualify for the Christian category. The Left is so phony in trying to express their faux liberalness and acceptance.

White House Campaign Urges Legal Immigrants to Become (Voting) Citizens
[NYT] White House officials announced the start of a nationwide campaign on Thursday to encourage legal immigrants to become American citizens, which could add millions of voters to the electorate in time for the presidential election next year.

With about 8.8 million legal residents in the country who are eligible to become citizens, White House officials said they were trying to make it easier to complete the final steps to citizenship.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency in charge of naturalizations, will offer practice tests on cellphones for the civics exam that immigrants must pass, but which many find daunting, and will hold preparatory workshops in rural areas. Applicants will also be able to pay the fee, still a hefty $680, with a credit card.

#1  Copied from an e-mail:

"A coalition of Blacks, Latinos, Feminists, Gays , Government Workers, Union Members, Environmental Extremists, The Media, Hollywood , uninformed young people, the "forever needy," the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other "fellow travelers" have ended Norman Rockwell 's America . The Cocker Spaniel is off the front porch... The Pit Bull is in the back yard. The American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky 's "Rules for Radicals" and Chicago shyster, David Axelrod , along with international Socialist George Soros will be pulling the strings on their beige puppet to bring us Act 2 of the New World Order.

Our side ran two candidates who couldn't even win their own home states, and Chris Christie helped Obama over the top with a glowing "post Sandy " tribute that elevated the "Commander-in-Chief" to Mother Teresa status. (Aside: with the way the polls were run, he didn't need any help!) People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will never again comment on or concern myself with the afore mentioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired."

"You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take Zealots, not moderates & shy not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status."

#2  Truly evil bunch on the Left.

#3  There is a great need to clean house in D.C.--not just rearrange the furniture but to get all new furniture. Election 2016 may be too late to correct the damage done to this country. The Republic may have been lost due to the "fundamental transformation." Read "fundamental transformation" as grand theft.

#4  This was after the administrations did away with comprehending English, taking a citizenship exam that tested the knowledge of the Constitution, and swearing an oath to uphold and defend same.

#5  The left no longer really tries to hide the subversion of our political system into a tyrannical oligarch of power centers all in fealty to the largess of the state. Their brazen act says they believe the tipping point has arrived, and if they enroll this batch of entitlement wards, they are right.

#6  IIRC, as per CNS + LUCIANNE Artics Activist Groups were encouraging Any + All Illegal Immigrants already in or coming to the USA to become naturalized ASAP before the end of the Bammer's second term = 2017 POTUS ELection.

THEY FEAR THE BAMMER'S POTUS SUCCESSOR MAY NOT BE ILLEGAL/IMMIGRANT-FRIENDLY.
