Climatistas

These panic-mongers of their man-caused global warming fantasy are in such a panic themselves that now they want RICO investigations of those scientists and organizations so rude as to demur from the panic-mongers’ claims.

George Mason Professor Jagadish Shukla and 19 others signed a letter to President Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and White House science adviser John Holdren urging punishment for climate dissenters. “One additional tool—recently proposed by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse [D, RI]—is a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation of corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change[.]”

Three things: it’s time to defund the climate pseudo-science industry and cancel/not renew any associated grants to universities and other institutions. It’s time to bring RICO cases against Shukla and his 19 accomplices. It’s time to bring a Senate ethics case against Whitehouse for his attack on free speech, his attack on scientific investigation, and his abuse of his Senate power that these miscreancies represent.

Shukla’s letter can be read here, here, and here.

Standing Up

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared Saturday that his country was ready to stand up to any threat posed by the United States as he spoke at a lavish military parade to mark the 70th anniversary of the North’s ruling party and trumpet his third-generation leadership.

Baby Kim is full of braggadocio, and he spouts off on a number of things in a number of venues. Sadly, he’s not facing down anything of substance at his parade. My long-deceased grandmother could easily stand up to the Obama administration’s threats.

Obama’s threats are long well-known to be nothing more than a playground taunt: “Boy, oh boy, when I get you.”
