WATCH DISTANT OBAMA SAYS "MONROE" INSTEAD OF "MOORE" at JERSEY SHORE SPEECH 5/28/13

It's a flyover state so, as Hillary Clinton said, "what difference does it make" what name Obama uses to identify that tornado ravaged city.  As far as he's concerned, all those cities are the same.

Or, he's just not engaged in the public's interests and isn't familiar enough with the situation to remember the city's name.

BREAKING: OH DEAR! MSM EXCUSE HUMANIZES OBAMA WITH LIPSTICK STAIN

Okay,  so ti's not really "breaking" news.  But to the low-information citizen,  lipstick on Obama's  collar is just the kind of  juicy stuff the Today show loves to report.

  As long as they have something  to mention other than  the IRS scandal, the Benghazi scandal, and the suppression of the press scandal, they'll run with it.

This is why I suspect this 'lipstick' incident is a concoction to make Obama look like just another one of the guys.  It was played as if to suggest how innocent and misunderstood the President is.  

Hell, perhaps in terms of the scandals we have him all wrong and he is just an innocent bystander.  Right.

The clip below is not a clip of the Today show.

Where was the president?  What was he doing during the Benghazi attack?  The answer to these questions will be the biggest story of the Benghazi scandal.

CONSERVABLOGGER THOUGHTS ON MEMORIAL DAY

Another yea is zooming bye.  Another year of American citizens going to baseball games, birthday parties, drinking beer, going on vacations, going to work, to play, and to sleep has come full circle since last Memorial Day.


I am a Desert Storm Era Veteran.  I was a member of the 5th Signal Bn., Fort Polk, Louisiana.  I was able to serve in support of those who fought.

The men and women I knew were your average-everyday-Americans who believed in something bigger than themselves. Sure they probably enlisted so they could "see the world", collect a paycheck, or get a college education, but in the backs of all of their minds they understood the gravity of their enlistment.

Each of them knew, as I did, that they might be called upon one day  to fight and possibly die in defense of our nation.

Each of them lived the day-to-day activities like the ones I listed above, yet they were willing to lay it on the line, if called upon.

Sadly,for some of my Desert Storm friends time on Earth stood still.  It ended.  It ended for soldiers who used to attend birthday parties, go shopping, washed their cars, had cookouts and picnics with friends and family.


Today, let's be mindful of all those who paid the ultimate price while defending our liberty, our Constitution and our nation! Enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices and have a wonderful Memorial Day.  I think they would want us to.

WATCH: UFO CAUGHT ON FILM OVER HAUNTED BARN IN SAN DIEGO

We have two converging paranormal elements here.  The first story is that a UFO may have visited here as shown on the film.   The other element of the story is the supposed haunted barn.

It is difficult to ascertain from the photographs that the object was hovering directly overhead.  Simply because the woman was visiting the barn, doesn't mean, necessarily, that the UfO is there visiting as well.

This news report seems to be mocking the woman's account by invoking an "area 51" label as heard by an interviewee.

I don't see the connection to Area 51, unless the United States government is now studying ghosts.

The object isn't a clear picture.  It looks a little like a blimp to me.  But, the local airport would have had a record of a blimp being in the area.

So, I'm not willing to automatically link the two paranormal elements together unless I had more data.

If the woman is to be taken at her word, the object did hover over the barn.  Now, I find it remarkable that her camera  malfunctioned after taking only a couple pictures.

What are your thoughts?

(FOX NEWS) BRIT HUME - JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THINKS REPORTING NEWS IS A CRIME

On a Fox and Friends segment today, BrIt Hume (a Fox News contributor) reacted to new reports that the Justice Department had accessed the personal emails of a Fox News' investigative reporter.  

This reporter's privacy, it appears,  was violated as part of a Justice Department  leak investigation centered around a North Korea situation a few years ago

Brit Hume started to say it was unprecedented (then backed off on that characterization a little saying he's never seen it) for any administration to go after a reporter (or reporters) for simply doing their jobs.

Hume said, (I'm paraphrasing) that the Justice Department is interfering with the constitutional, and lawful, activities of the press.

He said that after press briefings, reporters will routinely go around the room asking follow-up questions then report their findings. 

And now the Justice Department wants to assert  this  activity is a crime?

So, the interview with Brit Hume continued and concluded  by discussing a strange contradiction of Obama's words and deeds.

  They pointed out that while the administration is attacking (investigating) reporters as if they are criminals, Obama is saying in campaign speeches that "We need a reporter shield law".   

Now that is strange.

The answer we get is the standard type of answer from this regime.  They re-characterize questions they don't want to answer, avoiding answering the question at all and shift the narrative (or at least try to) away from criticisms of the President and his henchmen..

Among the comments he made:



  • “I have a grandson who’s afraid to get out of bed at night because he thinks there’s someone under the bed that’s going to grab him. And I think most Americans feel that way about the IRS.”

• “This kind of reconfirms that, you know what, they [the IRS] can do almost anything they want to anybody they want, anytime they want. This is very chilling for the American people.”

• “This is a Pandora’s Box that has been opened and I don’t think we can get the lid back on it.”

• “I don’t believe the White House just found out about this in a news report.”

• “I got to tell you, where you’re sitting, you should be outraged — and you’re not. The American people should be outraged, and they are.”

• “This reconfirms everything the American public believes! This is a huge blow to the faith and trust the American people have in their government!”

• “Is there any limit to the scope of where you folks can go?”
• “It’s sure as hell intimidating. And I don’t’ know that I got any answers from you today.”

• “I am more concerned today than I was before. The fact that you all can do just about anything you want to anybody. You know, you can put anybody out of business that you want anytime you want.”

• “And when the IRS comes in, you’re not allowed to be shoddy, you’re not allowed to be run horribly, you’re not allowed to make mistakes, you’re not allowed to do one damn thing that doesn’t come in compliance. If you do, you’re held responsible right then.”

It seems to me that America is on to Obama's bull crap; calling him out on his word parsing and rhetoric, unlike they've done in the past.

Evidence of this is people calling him out as telling lies, and after this question, pointing out that the President of the United States dodged this important and answerable  question all together.


IRS SCANDAL - NOW IS THE TIME FOR CONSERVATIVES TO ORGANIZE!

Now that the Internal Revenue Service has been outed for its corruption,  maybe conservatives can now regain the strength they had in 2010 election cycle.

Surely the scandalous IRS behavior will stop now that a microscope is focused on that governmental body, so maybe this is a great time for conservatives to redouble their organizing efforts in hopes to win Senate control in 2014.

America, now is the time to file those tax exemption requests.  Organize your families and your communities, and begin the hard work, unencumbered, to take down the progressive, liberal stronghold on D.C..


THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S WAR ON AMERICA! NEED PROOF?

Mr. Open-and-transparent is having a difficult week, isn't he?  Isn't it amazing that with  every scandal, rogue-low-level and isolated perpetrators are fingered such that  no dirt is seen on their own hands?

Think back when the Tea Party was holding rally's on a regular and public basis.  They have one guy shouting racial slurs (planted might I add) and the left's media and the Obama administration do everything possible to make that one guy representative of the Tea Party as a whole.

Most business owners are fine-upstanding citizens who pay more than their fair share of taxes, and they freely give to charities.  We hear of isolated bad practices by corporations that managed to run a ponzi scheme and the administration uses that to characterize all corporations and use it to advance their agenda.

Look at the gun control issue. Firearm crimes have been dropping every year.  Does this administration characterize recent mass shootings as isolated incidences?  Did the administration want to find out what happened before making any rash decisions that would affect the vast majority of law-abiding and gun-owing citizens?  No!  He immediately impugned all gun owners as incapable of  being responsible or trusted.  

What about the DeepWater Horizon?  That was an isolated incident for sure.  Yet, the Obama administration used it to shut down ALL drilling in the Gulf of Mexico with a moratorium.

The administration didn't reassure America by acknowledging it as an isolated event. He used British Petroleum to characterize all oil companies and needing government scrutiny.  The shutdown caused the price of crude to increase and sent thousands of drilling jobs out of the country, both of which I think were fine with Obama.

Here's another illustration of  the Obama administration's selective targeting, or protection:  The abortion debate.  Just this week, Kermit Gosnell was convicted and sentenced  for first degree murder of babies in an abortion clinic.  Did Obama, being concerned for the proven  humanitarian atrocities issue a moratorium on all abortion clinics until they are thoroughly investigated?  No, they actually, completely ignore the story as a non-event.

In other words, this administration uses isolated events as batons to beat all Americans who disagree with his agenda, into submission. 

But when issues come up like the IRS  Scandal, the AP Scandal, and the Benghazi Scandal, they expect that we shouldn't impugn the entire administration. "It was a couple low-level employees", "I never saw the report", or "I had no knowledge of anything".  

Do you believe them?

The left accuses conservatives of engaging in wars on women, gays, Latinos and Islamists?  We know this isn't true.  Those are narratives the left (and this administration) has advanced.

If it is acceptable accuse conservatives of engaging in so-called 'wars', then I can say this administration is engaging in a war on the American people - at least those of us who stand for the Constitution and the rule of law.

GLENN BECK - ON IRS, BENGHAZI AND AP - A CHICAGO CRIME FAMILY IS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY (VIDEO)

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE IRS FOR HISTORY-ALTERING MISCONDUCT

The list of  conservative groups and other philosophical opponents of Progressivism and liberalism saying they had been subject to IRS misconduct, harassment and intimidation is growing longer every day.

As a civil matter, it only seems right (to me)  to have as many plaintiffs as possible band together in one massive lawsuit and go after the IRS - as an entity- and/or the individual IRS employees whom perpetrated this outrageous misconduct.

Much has been said in the news, Fox News in particular, on this matter, and some have commented that many of these same IRS activists will be in charge of enforcing ObamaCare.


And activists are exactly what the IRS criminals are.



Consider how the actions of the IRS may have  altered history.  If conservative groups were allowed to freely organize unencumbered  by IRS bull-crap, maybe we'd have a majority in the senate; in which case we might have been able to repeal ObamaCare - without needing the President's signature.


It's entirely possible that Mit Romney may have even won the election, had it not been for the rampant misconduct of the IRS.

Remember how many on the left were saying the Tea Party was dead They noted the Tea Party was  unable to get many of their picks elected in key districts of key key states?   I think now we have an explanation for this. 

I don't believe the Tea Party was ever dead, but IRS activists seriously wounded liberty-minded organizers' ability to organize, didn't they?

There are damages, but can the damage caused by the IRS' conduct be quantified?  If so, how much do the damages total?

This is a huge deal!  Bohner was right today in a statement.  "Who is going to Jail?"

I'd like to know the answer to that question  as well, but Tea Party and other victims of the IRS should be paid restitution and punitive damages should be levied against the IRS.

The best way I see this happening is through a class action type  lawsuit with a jury of peers.

Last night I went up and I looked at The New York Times how they reported it (Benghazi) the day after. They never reference that we had a terrorist attack against the United States. On September 20th, however, they run a story that says Libyan envoys killing was a terrorist attack. And they say until now White House officials have not used that language in describing the assault. That is September 20th. That is The New York Times.

IRS MEMO: 'NOW NOW, YOU CAN'T BE DOING THAT - THE PUBLIC MIGHT FIND OUT'


What is the democratic 'watch-word'? Scandal!


BREITBART reported:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted on May 10 that “low level” staff in its Cincinnati office, supposedly “not motivated by political bias,” targeted 75 conservative tax-exempt organizations, including many Tea Party organizations applying for exemption under Section 501(c)4 of the tax code.
The groups were singled out for audit and investigation because they used the names “Tea Party” and “Patriot.” Yet in July 2011, the IRS had warned employees to drop audits of donors to similar 501(c)4 organizations.

A hand-signed memorandum from Steven T. Miller, IRS Acting Commissioner for Services and Enforcement, was issued on July 7, 2011 and instructed employees to cease examinations dealing with gift taxes to 501(c)4 organizations because of difficult "legal, administrative, and policy implications" that could only be resolved "after notice to the public."

CONSERVABLOGGER COMMENT:

There seems to be a pattern with every office of this administration.  Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the Black Panther voting intimidators let off the hook, getting private groups to fund pro-ObamaCare programs, allowing radical clerics to defame the memories of our fallen heroes th their funerals, and now, the IRS has abused its power by targeting conservative political groups.

If anyone looks at this administration and defends it, they are not paying attention, and they are part of the problem.

SARAH PALIN COMMENTS ON IRS SCANDAL

Sarah Palin made the following remarks on her Facebook page related to the scandal surrounding the IRS' unfair treatment of conservative groups:

"Today we learned that our government targeted and harassed conservative Americans who simply wanted to be involved in the national discussion. Is it any wonder why Americans are so distrustful of D.C.? I'm sure President Obama is grateful for all the help the IRS gave his reelection campaign, but, still, you have to wonder how the bureaucrats who tried to pull this off can s...leep at night.

So many Americans knew this was happening, but many felt defenseless and even helpless against a government that seems to roll along without accountability or sense of obligation to the people it’s supposed to serve. These Americans were mocked for being concerned about this, but now we see light shining on the truth, finally.

This IRS revelation is another step in the unraveling of the Obama administration's self-proclaimed “hope and change.” Between the Benghazi cover-up and the IRS targeting Obama’s political opponents, we see the corruption at the heart of big government.

Americans should remember that this same corrupt IRS will be in charge of enforcing Obamacare. And this same inept and corrupt government will supposedly secure our now unsecured borders in advance of immigration reform and will implement a completely ethical and non-political IPAB panel to make life and death health care decisions for you and your family. Forgive me for not trusting these big government promises any more than I trust the White House’s latest Benghazi spin or the IRS’ fairness.

Despite all of this, I still believe that this “fundamental transformation of America” is temporary. This attempted transformation into a disheartened, weakened, unrecognizable nation is so far below anything Americans deserve. It becomes permanent only if we throw up our hands and surrender to the corruption and cover-ups.

We must demand more light shine on all that’s transpiring in D.C.’s self-absorbed bubble. On the IRS scandal, we must have accountability and a full investigation. On Benghazi, Speaker Boehner must create a Select Committee with full investigative and subpoena authority to get to the bottom of the cover-up. Keep the faith, friends.

I call it a joke-network because of the garbage that passes for news on that network.  It's a joke.

House Democratic Leader, and douche bag, Nancy Pelosi on Saturday whined about  the Republican “obsession” with Benghazi, accusing the GOP of exploiting the attack to avoid talking about anything else. “The obsession that some of my Republican colleagues have in the House doesn’t look like it’s on the path to really finding a solution, but just to keeping an issue alive,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry. 

"It doesn't look like we're on the path of finding a solution", she says.

To hell with your solution, Pelosi!  We were lied to in a massive cover-up in order to protect the president and hide  whatever the hell went on in Benghazi Some people say it had to do with a sanction  of the ambassador over an arms deal with Muslum terrorists.

It's obvious you and the administration would love for this to go away, but hopefully, this will be the administration's undoing.

From the Conservablogger inbox:

In response to IRS officials today admitting that its agents actively targeted Tea Party groups for increased scrutiny during the 2012 election,  the nation's largest Tea Party group and a subject of IRS inquiries over the past year, issued the following statement: 

"What we've long suspected to be the case is now confirmed to be true. The Obama administration has used the IRS as a political weapon. The IRS may claim that it is 'sorry.' But given the damage that has been done, their apology is not accepted," said Niger Innis, Chief Strategist for TheTeaParty.net. 

"What would Democrats have done if the Nixon administration ordered the IRS to actively target the National Organization of Women or the American Civil Liberties Union? Nixon had his own enemies list and resigned. These activities are eerily similar, and yet Obama remains in office even in light of Fast and Furious, the Benghazi tragedy, and now the active targeting of his political opposition. We demand a thorough independent investigation into who did what, when, why, and how far up into the administration this scandal goes. We would expect intimidation like this from third-world, tin-pot dictators, not our own US government."

SHOCKING! IRS ADMITS TARGETING CONSERVATIVE GROUPS FOR EXTRA SCRUTENY


(Reuters) - Tax auditors inappropriately targeted applications from conservative political groups seeking tax-exempt status, an Internal Revenue Service official acknowledged on Friday.

Director of the IRS tax-exempt officeLois Lerner,, said the practice "was absolutely incorrect and it was inappropriate."

She spoke at an American Bar Association conference in Washington, "We would like to apologize for that."

She also noted that no groups given extra scrutiny weren't yet rejected for tax-exempt status.

In 2012, on the Glenn Beck Program, guests members of conservative groups such the Tea Party and other patriot Organizations said they were being unfairly treated by the IRS in their tax empt status.   

That said, Lerner admitted that conservative groups with Tea Party or Patriot in their names   were flagged by the IRS for further review and something.

The inappropriate screening process was "absolutely not" influenced by anyone in the Obama administration, Lerner said. Tax-exempt applications, ranging from hospitals to labor unions, are reviewed by IRS career civil servants.

Known as 501(c)(4)groups after the section of the tax code that makes them tax-exempt, the groups can collect money from anonymous donors and spend it on advertising. To stay tax-exempt, they cannot endorse a candidate or political party.


WATCH: OBAMA IN AUSTIN, TEXAS TELLS KIDS 'LEAN ON YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS'

The speech was held at Manor Technical High School in Austin, Texas where Obama used high school kids as props for a campaign speech.



The Campaigner-in-chief was at it again today. And again he had a captive audience of low-information young people who 'oh and awe' on his every proposal.  

This time the audience was high school students.  Why is he campaigning to younger and younger kids?

At this rate, he'll be campaigning to first graders,  telling them to  whine to their parents to vote for Progressive Democrats, even if they disagree with their politics... so they can get something done.

In this speech, Obama explains three things he's convinced will spur growth in the middle class... as if that's where all Americans aspire to be.  Among his comments was the following:


"Every once in a while I'm going to need your help to lean on your elected representatives and say, 'Hey lets do something about this.    Even if is you don't like it politically, if it's a good idea lets go ahead and support it.  We're going to need your help to promote it.'


Obama also said he'll sign executive orders today.   He said where he can, he said,  he'll act on his own with these actions to further his agenda. 

Duh...

wATCH: SPEAKER BOEHNER TO OBAMA - 'TURN OVER BENGHAZI EMAILS'

The Obama administration seems to have drug its feet throughout this entire debacle. Why is the Obama administration refusing to turn over these telling emils? Because they are damning, that's why.

OUTRAGEOUS! Radical Cleric Curses Heroic Navy SEALs at Funeral Services - Allowed by Obama Administration?

From the funeral services at Bagram Air Force Base:



The Gateway Pundit reported:


oday three families of Navy SEAL Team VI special forces servicemen, along with one family of an Army National Guardsman, appeared at a press conference to disclose never before revealed information about how and why their sons along with 26 others died in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011. This was just months after the successful raid on the Bin Laden compound in Pakistan.

At the press conference today the families released video on how military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes. This cleric disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah. A video of the Muslim cleric’s “prayer” was shown this morning with a certified translation.

Now the text of the radical cleric's curse:


Amen. I shelter in Allah from the devil who has been cast with stones.
In the name of Allah the merciful forgiver.
The companions of “THE FIRE”
(The sinners and infidels who are fodder for the hell fire)
ARE NOT EQUAL WITH the companions of heaven.
The companions of heaven (Muslims) are the WINNERS.
Had he sent this Koran to the mountain, you would have seen the mountain prostrated in fear of Allah.
(Mocking the GOD of Moses)
Such examples are what we present to the people, so that they would think.
(repent and convert to Islam)
Blessings are to your God (Allah) the God of glory and what they describe.
And peace be upon the messengers (prophets) and thanks be to Allah the lord of both universes (mankind and Jinn).

LISTEN: BENGHAZI HEARING AUDIO 5/8/13

This audio picks up at around 3pm eastern and runs for almost an hour when the committee  took a ten minute break.  

I kept recording when the CSPAN 3 guy took some viewer phone calls.

This is history in the making.

Obama had an election coming up and he didn't want to have this Benghazi fiasco hanging around his neck like a horse collar. 

Benghazi was probably much more than a diplomatic mission, however.  That said, concerning the 'video' Obama, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton touted as being the nexus of a mob action in Benghazi, they lied their asses off.

WATCH: PANETTA - WE COULDN'T PUT OUR FORCES AT RISK IN BENGHAZI

Source CNN.com:

The U.S. military did not get involved during the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya,  because officials did not have enough information about what was going on before the attack was over, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said Thursday.

At a Pentagon news briefing, Panetta said there was no "real-time information" to be able to act on, even though the U.S. military was prepared to do so.

"You don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on," Panetta said. "(We) felt we could not put forces at risk in that situation."
----end of CNN reference---

The above statement was made roughly one month after the September 11 Benghazi attack.  This statement is a tad bit different than the one given below, five months later.  Wouldn't you agree?

KANSAS DEFIES NEW FEDERAL GUN LAWS - HOLDER THREATENS - STATE RESPONDS


Kansas will inspire other states to take the same Second Amendment protective action, and Holder knows it.  That's why needs to nip this in the bud (so to speak).

Kansas should be heralded by citizens from all states and all citizens should contact their state legislatures and ask them to follow Kansas' lead.
---------

Kansas signed the Second Amendment Protection Act (SB 102) into law last month which protects gun owners from from new federal gun control laws.  The bill actually makes it illegal to enforce those laws within the state of Kansas.

Threatening Kansas last week, Eric Holder said the new state law is unconstitutional.

The Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach, in response fired back.  In effect he said, “You’re wrong. You don’t understand the Constitution. Bring it on.”

Below is correspondence to Holder from the Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach.

“The study you’ll see from Heritage this week presents a staggering cost of another amnesty in our country, based on the 'detrimental effects long-term' of government benefits that would eventually go to the millions offered a path to citizenship under the reform legislation currently being considered. There’s no reason we can’t begin to fix our immigration system so that we won’t make this problem worse. But the bill that’s being presented is unfair to those who came here legally. It will cost Americans trillions of dollars. It’ll make our unlawful immigration system worse.”

ENTERTAINMENT: WATCH JUSTIN BIEBER GET ATTACKED BY CRAZED FAN

It's has been  reported that Justin Bieber was attacked by a crazed fan during his Dubai concert  this weekend, and the entire scene was caught on video. 

 Amid the hysterical female fans, one can be heard screaming: “Justin! Oh my God, Justin! AHH!!”


From the U.K. Telegraph:

The 19-year-old was playing the piano when the man jumped onto the stage and grabbed him from behind.

In chaotic scenes, Bieber managed to free himself and run to the side of the stage while security guards tried to tackle the man.

During the melee the [piano was tipped over], according to the Dubai-based National newspaper.

He was eventually caught by security guards.

Video from audience-members showed security guards running across the stage as the piano lay upturned.

An accompanying tweet said: ‘Whoa. Crazy fan tackled @justinbieber and knocked the piano down the stage. Mayhem.’

While Bieber was shaken, he was unhurt, and the band finished the song while the fan was removed from the stage.

GLOBAL WARMING TO MINIMIZE EFFECTS OF MINI ICEAGE?


Blogger, Roz Pidcock, wrote in The Carbon Brief that any we can’t or won’t have a  mini ice-age regardless of what the sun is, or isn’t, doing because of all the C02 in our atmosphere.

That’s right folks, according to this writer and his sources, while changes in the sun’s activity can cause effects here on earth, those changes will be minimal due to greenhouse gasses and subsequent global warming.

 Pidcock wrote:

Scientists know the sun has some impact on earth's climate. Chris Rapley, professor of climate science at University College London, told Carbon Brief recently:
"Climate science shows that the sun does have an influence on climate; this is not controversial. The planet responds to changes in the flux of energy that it intercepts from the Sun."The sun's energy fluctuates, rising and falling on an 11-year cycle.

He went on to write:

Recent research suggests the Maunder Minimum was only one factor in bringing about the LIA. In fact, it may be more closely linked to unusually intense volcanic activity and interactions between sea ice and ocean currents during the period. At a recent conference, scientists explained how a major atmospheric circulation known as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) was in a negative phase at the onset of the LIA, which amplified the cooling effect of a reduction in solar irradiance and volcanic activity. This, in turn, affected the distribution of sea ice in the Arctic and disrupted a major ocean circulation that distributes heat across the globe, known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ( AMOC).In other words, a fall in temperature to rival the LIA would need more than a drop in solar activity.

He continued…

Scientists have modelled the expected temperature drop over the 21st century due to waning solar activity - and they found that the change is likely to be dwarfed by the much bigger warming effect of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

CONSERVABLOGGER COMMENT:

If you link on over to the article and read it in its entirety, notice the number of times the writer uses unnamed sources with phrases like, "scientists say".  If the solar minimum we are beginning to experience is going to be deeper than the in the 17th century version, thank God for global warming, eh?

Look at the sources named in the article, you'll see they are scientists wanting to advance the notion of global warming, at all costs.

Last but not least, take note of the name of the website name of which  I'm referring:  Carbon Brief.  That should tell you something about the ideology of the site's contributors.

RUSH LIMBAUGH BLASTS OBAMA'S "DOG WHISTLE" MEXICO SPEECH 5/3/13

Why wouldn't Obama blow the Mexican dog whistle when democrats could benefit from so many more potential voters?  See Obama's full speech below.

Here is part of the transcript from today's Rush Limbaugh program:


RUSH: Right. You note the God echo is back, the God reverb. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I think this is an outrage. We had the president of the United States apologizing to Mexican college students for the way illegal immigrants in this country are disrespected. We take in millions and millions of them here, in violation of law. We feed and clothe and educate them and provide them health care.The president of the United States is in Mexico apologizing for the attitudes of some Americans, that many Americans convey the old stereotype of Mexicans as illegal border crossers. He then apologized to these college students for America trying to impose itself on Mexican sovereignty. What? Would somebody explain that to me? I do not understand how we are trying to impose ourselves on Mexico.

It would seem, if we want to discuss this, that it might actually be the opposite. Now, this is the kind of thing that Democrats say when we go to Iraq or when we engage in military activity to liberate the oppressed, the tyrannized. Democrats never like that, such as Iraq. They always run around saying, "We're trying to impose our way of life on people! We shouldn't do that. We shouldn't try and impose freedom."

But it's usually in the context of armed combat that they make this complaint. Now, we are not at war with Mexico. We haven't invaded. Quite the opposite. So I really don't understand the president apologizing to Mexican college students on behalf of people in this country because of the stereotypes in which you engage in when you talk about Mexicans, and for the attempt to impose America on them. I'm at a loss, I must tell you.

WATCH: OBAMA'S FULL MEXICO SPEECH AT ANTHROPOLOGY MUSEUM - 5/3/13

 This is a CSPAN video of the complete Obama Mexico speech.  Below is the complete text of Obama's teleprompter.





Remarks for President Barack ObamaNational Museum of AnthropologyMexico City, MexicoFriday, May 3, 2013
Hola!  Buenos dias!  It is wonderful to be back in México, lindo y querido.  I bring with me the greetings and friendship of the people of the United States, including tens of millions of proud Mexican Americans.
This is my fourth visit to Mexico as President.  Each time, I’ve been inspired—by your culture, by the beauty of this land, and most of all, by the Mexican people.  You’ve welcomed my wife Michelle here.  You’ve welcomed our daughter Malia and her classmates to Oaxaca.  And as a proud dad, I have to say—her Spanish is getting pretty good.  It helps that she is smarter than me.
It is an honor to be back in Mexico City—one of the great cities of the world.  Es un placer estar entre amigos.  It’s fitting that we gather at this great museum, which celebrates Mexico’s ancient civilizations and their achievements in arts and architecture, medicine and mathematics.  In modern times, your blend of cultures and traditions found its expression in the murals of Rivera, the paintings of Frida, the poetry of Sor Juana and the essays of Octavio Paz.
Paz once spoke words that capture the spirit of our gathering today—in this place that celebrates your past, but which this morning is filled with you, the young people who will shape Mexico’s future.  “Modernity,” Paz said, “is not outside us, but within us.  It is today and the most ancient antiquity; it is tomorrow and the beginning of the world; it is a thousand years old and yet newborn.”
That’s why I wanted this opportunity to speak with you today.  You live at the intersection of history of which Paz spoke.  You honor your heritage, thousands of years old, but you are also part of something new, a nation remaking itself. And as our modern world changes around us, it is the spirit of young people, your optimism and idealism, that will drive the world forward.
You see the difference between the world as it is and the world as it ought to be; between old attitudes that can stifle progress and the new thinking that allows us to connect and collaborate across cultures.  That includes how we think about the relationship between our two nations.
Despite the deep bonds and values we share, attitudes—in both countries—are sometimes trapped in old stereotypes.  Some Americans only see the Mexico depicted in sensational headlines of violence and border crossings.  Some Mexicans may think America disrespects Mexico, that we seek to impose ourselves on Mexican sovereignty, or, alternatively, wish to wall ourselves off.  And in both countries, such distortions can breed myths and misunderstanding that only make it harder to make progress together.
I have come to Mexico because it is time to put old mindsets aside.  It’s time to recognize new realities, including the impressive progress in today’s Mexico.  For even as Mexicans continue to make courageous sacrifices for the security of your country; even as Mexicans in the countryside and in neighborhoods not far from here struggle to give their children a better life…it’s also clear that a new Mexico is emerging.
I see a Mexico that is deepening your democracy.  Citizens who are standing up and saying that violence and impunity is not acceptable.  A courageous press working to hold leaders accountable.  A robust civil society, including brave defenders of human rights who demand dignity and rule of law.  Political parties that compete vigorously, transfer power peacefully, and forge the compromise on which progress depends.  And even as the work of perfecting democracy is never done—as we know in both our countries—you go forward knowing the truth that Benito Juarez once spoke: “democracy is the destiny of humanity.”
I see a Mexico that is creating new prosperity.  Trading with the world.  Becoming a manufacturing powerhouse—from Tijuana and Monterrey to Guadalajara and across the central highlands—a global leader in automobiles and appliances and electronics.  But also a center of high-tech innovation, producing the software and hardware of our digital age.  One man in Querétaro spoke for an increasing number of Mexicans.  “There’s no reason to go abroad in search of a better life,” he said. “There are good opportunities here.”
Indeed, I see a Mexico that has lifted millions from poverty.  Because of the sacrifices of generations, a majority of Mexicans now call themselves middle class, with a quality of life that your parents and grandparents could only dream of.  This includes new opportunities for women, who are proving that—when given the chance—you can shape the destiny of your country, too.
In you, Mexico’s youth, I see a generation empowered by technology.  I think I see some of you tweeting and WhatsApping right now.  And whether it’s harnessing social media to preserve indigenous languages, or speaking up for the future you want, you’re making it clear that your voice will be heard.
And I see a Mexico that is taking its rightful place in the world.  Standing up for democracy in our hemisphere.  Sharing your expertise with neighbors across the Americas—when they face earthquakes or threats to their citizens or go to the polls to cast their votes.  You’ve joined the ranks of the world’s largest economies, and became the first Latin American nation to host the G-20, another confident step on the world stage.

Just as Mexico is being transformed, so too are the ties between our two countries.  As President, I’ve been guided by a basic proposition—in this relationship there is no senior partner or junior partner.  We are two equal partners—two sovereign nations that must work together in mutual interest and mutual respect.
Just as I worked with President Calderon, I have reaffirmed with President Peña Nieto that the great partnership between our two countries will not simply continue, it will grow even stronger, even broader.  In my time with President Peña Nieto, I’ve come to see his deep commitment to Mexico and its future.  We share the belief that as leaders our guiding mission is to improve the lives of our peoples.  And so we agree that the relationship between our nations must be defined—not by the threats we face—but by the prosperity and opportunity we can create together.  And if we are serious about being equal partners, then both our nations must recognize our responsibilities.

Here in Mexico, you’ve embarked on ambitious reforms—to make your economy more competitive and your institutions more accountable to you, the people.  As you pursue these reforms, know that you have the strong support of the United States.  Because whether you’re looking for basic services, or trying to start a new business, we share your belief that you should be able to make it through the day without paying a bribe.  And when talented Mexicans like you imagine your future, you should have every opportunity to succeed right here in the country you love.

In the United States, we recognize our responsibilities as well.  We understand that the root cause of much of the violence here—and so much suffering for many Mexicans— is the demand for illegal drugs, including in the United States.  Now, I do not believe that legalizing drugs is the answer; instead, I believe in a comprehensive approach—not just law enforcement, but education, prevention and treatment. And we’re going to keep at it—because the lives of our children and the future of our nations depend on it.

We recognize that most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States.  In America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms, and as President I swore an oath to uphold that right—and I always will.  At the same time, as I’ve said back home, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common sense gun reforms that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people—reforms that will save lives in both our countries.  Meanwhile, we’ll keep increasing the pressure on the gun traffickers who bring illegal guns into Mexico, and we’ll keep putting these criminals where they belong—behind bars.

We recognize our responsibility—as a nation that believes that all people are created equal—to treat one another with dignity and respect. This includes recognizing how the United States has been strengthened by the extraordinary contributions of immigrants from Mexico and by Americans of Mexican heritage.

Mexican Americans enrich our communities, including my hometown of Chicago, where you can walk through neighborhoods like Pilsen and La Villita, dotted with murals of Mexican patriots, where you can stop at a fonda or hear the rhythms of timeless ballads, and where we are inspired by the deep faith of our peoples at churches like Our Lady of Guadalupe.

We’re grateful to Mexican Americans in every segment of our society—for teaching our children, running our companies, serving with honor in our military, making breakthroughs in science, and standing up for social justice.  As Dr. Martin Luther King told Cesar Chavez, we are “brothers in the fight for equality.”  Indeed, without the strong support of Hispanics, including so many Mexican Americans, I would not be standing before you today as President of the United States.
Our shared future is one of the reasons that we in the United States also recognize the need to reform our immigration system.  We are a nation of laws, and like every nation we have the responsibility to ensure that our laws are upheld.
But we also know that, as a nation of immigrants, the immigration system we have in the United States now doesn’t reflect our values.  It separates families when we should be reuniting them. It’s led to millions of people living in the shadows.  It deprives us of the talents of so many young people—even though we know that immigrants have always been an engine of our economy; starting some of our greatest companies, pioneering new industries.
That’s one of the reasons I acted to lift the shadow of deportation from DREAMers—young people brought to the United States as children.  And that’s why I’m working with our Congress to pass common sense immigration reform.  Reform that continues to strengthen border security and strengthen legal immigration, so citizens don’t have to wait years to bring their family to the United States.  Reform that holds everyone accountable— so immigrants get on the right side of the law and so immigrants are not exploited and abused.  Most of all, reform that gives millions of undocumented individuals a pathway to earn their citizenship.   And I’m optimistic that—after years of trying—we’re finally going to get this done.
Obviously, we seek to work with the Mexican government on all issues related to a well-regulated border.  But I also believe that the long-term solution to the challenge of illegal immigration—so we’re not dealing with this, decade after decade—is a growing, prosperous Mexico that creates more jobs and opportunity right here.
I agree with the Mexican student who said, “I feel like we can reach the same level as anyone in the world.”  And so firmly believe…juntos, podemos lograr más.  Together, we can achieve more.  So with the remainder of my time today, I want to focus on five areas where we can do more.
First, let’s do more to expand the trade and commerce that creates good jobs for our people.  We already buy more of your exports than any other country.  We sell more of our exports to Mexico than we do to Brazil, Russia, India and China—combined.  Mexican companies are investing more in the United States, and we’re the largest foreign investor in Mexico—because we believe in Mexico, and we want to be a partner in your success.
Guided by the new economic dialogue that President Peña Nieto and I announced yesterday, let’s do more to unlock the true potential of our relationship.  Let’s keep investing in our roads, bridges and border crossings so we can trade faster and cheaper.  Let’s help our smaller businesses, which employ most of our workers, access new markets—the big markets right across the border.  Let’s empower our young entrepreneurs as they create the startups that can transform how we live.  And let’s realize the Trans-Pacific Partnership, this year, so our two nations can compete and win in the fast-growing markets of the Asia Pacific.

Second, let’s not just sell more things to each other, let’s build more things together.  With many of our companies operating in both our countries, parts are now being shipped back and forth across the border as they’re assembled.  So every day, U.S. and Mexican workers are building things together—cars, aircraft, computers, satellites.

I believe this is only the beginning.  Given the skills of our workers, it makes even more sense for companies from around the world to set up shop in our countries. As Mexico reforms, we’ll be able to do even more business together.  And the more that our companies collaborate, the more competitive they’ll be and the more products we’ll sell to the world.

Third, as we secure our economic future, let’s secure our energy future, including the clean energy we need to combat climate change.  Our nations are blessed with boundless natural beauty—from our coastlines and farmlands to your tropical forests.  And just as the science of climate change is undeniable, so is the fact that our economies must become greener.
In the United States, we’ve made historic commitments to clean and renewable energy, and reduced our emissions of harmful carbon pollution.  Here in Mexico, you’re a leader in cutting carbon emissions and in helping developing countries do the same.  Together, let’s keep building new clean energy partnerships by harnessing wind and solar and the good jobs that come with them.  Let’s keep investing in green buildings and smart grid technologies so we’re making our planet cleaner and safer for future generations.
Fourth—and this is part of staying competitive, too—let’s do more together in education so our young people have the knowledge and skills to succeed.  Here in Mexico you’ve made important progress—with more children staying in school longer, and record numbers of students like you getting a university education.
Just imagine how much the students of our two countries could do together and learn from each other.  That’s why President Peña Nieto and I announced a new partnership in higher education—to encourage more collaboration between our universities and students.  We’re going to focus on science, technology, engineering and math.  It’s part of my broader initiative called 100,000 Strong in the Americas.  We want 100,000 students from the United States studying in Latin America, including Mexico.  And we want 100,000 Latin American students—including Mexicans like you—to come study in the United States.

Finally, to help energize your careers and spark the industries of the future, let’s truly invest in innovation, research and development.  Here in Mexico, you’re now a global leader in graduating engineers and technicians.  One of Mexico’s leading scientists, Rafael Navarro-González, is helping analyze data from the rover on Mars.
Together, let’s remember that every dollar and every peso that we invest in research and development returns so much more to our economies—more jobs, more opportunity.  So let’s forge new partnerships in areas like aerospace, IT, nanotechnology, biotechnology and robotics.  Let’s answer the hope of a young woman—a student at the National Polytechnic Institute—who spoke for many in your generation, so eager to make your mark.  She said, “give us jobs as creators.”  Give us jobs as creators.
Mexico, I know there are those—in this country and beyond—who are skeptical of your progress; who doubt your capacity to make the most of this moment.  They say the headwinds you face are just too stiff.  They say Mexico has been here before, eyes fixed on a bright horizon, on the verge of great possibility, only to be blown off course.
It is true that nothing is inevitable.  Progress and success is never guaranteed.  The future you dream of, the Mexico you imagine—it must be earned.  And no one else can do it for you.  It can only be earned by you.  You are the future.  As Nervo wrote in “La Raza de Bronce”—tu eres el sueño.  You are the dream.
For just as it was patriots, young and old, who answered the call when Father Miguel Hidalgo rang that church bell two centuries ago, you—your lives, in a free Mexico—are the dream they imagined.  And now it falls to you to keep alive those virtues for which so many generations of Mexicans struggled.
You are the dream—the generation that can stand up for justice and human rights and human dignity, here at home and around the world.
You are the creators, the builders, the climbers, the strivers who can deliver progress and prosperity that will lift up the Mexican people for generations to come.
You are the men and women who will push this nation upward as Mexico assumes its rightful place in the world, as you proudly sing: “in heaven your eternal destiny was written by the finger of God.”
You are the dream.  This is your moment.  And as you reach for the future you know is possible, always remember that your greatest partner—the nation rooting for your success more than anyone else—is your closest neighbor and strongest friend, the United States of America.
Viva México!   Viva los Estados Unidos!   Que Dios los bendiga!
