Weather cycles all the time. It is different day to day, month to month, year to year, century to century. It is more powerful than man who tries to control it. It is us that need to learn to live with the changes.
Mankind pumps billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Do you really think mankind hasn’t altered climate to some degree?!?!!

Didn’t know that guy was still around, thanks NIT.
The irony of President Trump’s comments is the fact that ignorant democrats are going apoplectic about the mention of a candidate accepting aid from a foreign government….. something the 2+ year, $40+ million, Mueller witch hunt was unable to substantiate or provide any evidence of against Trump or his campaign…… with that comment, he set the TDS level to nuclear, and the beauty is when Barr declassifies everything, and it shows the corruption and collusion by the Obama Administration, Clinton, the political swamp, and the complicit media… that did so illegally, with the aid of foreign governments…… you all will have no where to hide…. he’s playing chess, you’re playing checkers!!!
Democrats AND Republicans are apoplectic because it’s an unconstitutional, treasonous federal crime, and an unquestionably impeachable offense.
And yet they all do it. Especially the Democrats because they are criminals and could care less about the law.
Fake news. Republicrooks have corruption down to a science.
Do Nothing Democrats and Democrat Pres Candidates continue to Trash Trump because they Have nothing else to do ? Very sad for them . Biden would have NO speech if he did not use the word Trump !
Do Nothing Republicans continue to do nothing in the Senate. Republican Pres continues to trash his opponents because he has nothing else to do ? Very sad for them. Trump would have NO speech if he did not use the word me.!
Try coming up with a original thought for once. I know it will hurt a pea brain like yours, but try.
Wait, Hillary paid for dirt on Trump and that’s ok, but if Trump simply listened to someone, that is outrageous? WTF, democrats are hypocritical domestic terrorists.
It’s illegal, and considered treason. If anybody else did it, hard right sickos would be screaming about it. Everybody else is. http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:52%20section:30121%20edition:prelim)
I have one question! Who voted for Trump because they were influenced by Russia. I voted for him because I was influenced by Hillary!
You voted for him because you hate and are terrified of women.
i voted for him and i respect woman. do you just repeat whatever unfounded extreme over thetop stupidity other morons say or did you pull that out of your own ass? you dont understand the world and how things worlk. just because someone voted for a certain candidate doesnt mean they are 100% filling some stereo type made up by liberal hate mongers. i voted for him and im not a republican, im also not a democrat. anyone who says they are 100% republican is a stupid person, anyone who says they are 100% liberal is a stupid person. i think lots of you just blindly follow and enjoy lashing out at people and arguing and dont really have anything at stake and fail to realise how big of a deal all this stuff really is. its funny to me that when i meet die hard liberals they are usually under the age of 30 or they are really uneducated trashy drug addicts or alcoholics, not name calling just pulling from a lifetime of observation, lots of mental health issues in the liberal crowd. as far as republicans go they have some crazy too. i mean religion? give me a break we need to abolish all forms of religion and slaughter those that wont give it up. same with pro lifers. just need to kill them off. in any case those of you who are so simple minded that you can comfortably be pigeon holled into one political group or the other are simple simple people and shouldnt have voting rights anyhow. seriously if youre a political clone cut from the same dough as other cookie cutter morons why should your opinion even matter? its retarded to think that anyone can agree with everything a political party is claiming to support. liberals for instance are obsessed with firearms when firearms barely kill anyone in comparison to many other objects each year. you want everyone to be able to immigrate unchecked as if the country hasnt been over populated for decades. personally i say you democrats and republicans are all a bunch of pussy fags or youd have had your little civil war already and itd be quiet around here.
Pay more taxes for free things? Then its not really free, it’s government taking away our money and spending it for us, better known as socialism! They’ve already proven they can’t be trusted with our tax dollars!
No Bernie we would’ve delighted to see yours and your fellow democrat senators tax returns. We would be even more delighted to reduce your pay to $15 an hr.
If greedy rich Republicrooks would pay their fair share, the problem would be solved immediately.
Delighted to pay more taxes for something that will find any way to NOT give it to you because your illness became too expensive? And because everyone will then be cashing in on this “free healthcare” because it’s our right? And then everyone cashing in on “free college” some of which will go “just for the college experience”? Yeah right. There was a reason that the Thirteen Colonies broke away from merry old England. I have to wonder if they teach about the Revolutionary War in school anymore. Or have they doctored the history in order to “not offend” anyone? All of this is a wonderful dream. A wonderful, unsustainable, impossible dream. Wake up.
Who has ever been delighted to pay more taxes. Sanders himself wasn’t delighted because he paid, like what, 12% of his income? As a millionaire? Some of these countries pay close to 80% of their income as tax. And their populations are a fraction of ours. It will never work in this country. Ever. Everyone, including his beloved socialist Democrats will revolt when they realize that its not just the 1% that are going to be paying 70% tax. The whole country will have to. No one enjoys having the government take the majority of their check every week.
We would be delighted to show all of the socialist Democrats the door. #Wakeup #WalkAway and #VoteRed
Everyone should take the time to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important.
From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been impaneled.
Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”.
Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.
Look who took over this investigation in 2005, none other than James Comey. Coincidence? Guess who was transferred into the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS? None other than, Lois Lerner. Isn’t that interesting?
But this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right? Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Justice from 2001 to 2005? None other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.
Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame? Another coincidence (just an anomaly in statistics and chances), but it was Robert Mueller.
What do all four casting characters have in common? They all were briefed and/or were front-line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation. Another coincidence, right?
Fast forward to 2009. James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin. Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, official government business, on her own personal
email server. The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of Hillary. Like all good public servants do, supposedly looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians. Now, you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t. America got absolutely nothing out of it.
However, prior to the sales approval, none other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow, gets paid $500,000 for a one hour speech; then meets with Vladimir Putin at
his home for a few hours. Ok, no big deal right? Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.
Robert Mueller was the FBI Director during this time frame. He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009. Who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland? None other than, Rod Rosenstein.
And what happened to the informant? The Department of Justice placed a gag order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.
How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?
Very soon after; the sale was approved. $145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal. Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, Lois Lerner.
Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, nothing to see here, right? Let’s fast forward to 2015. Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server. He also discovered that none of
those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was
required by law. He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email.
Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we
shall leave it with this, they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary.
.
Now this is amazing, guess who became FBI Director in 2013? None other than James Comey, who secured 17 no bid contracts for his employer
(Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a $6 million dollar thank you present
when he departed his employer? Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at the State Department.
Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and he exonerates her. Nope, couldn’t find any crimes there.
In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration
letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ
is handing out immunity deals like candy.They didn’t
even convene a Grand Jury! Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like
the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps out into the
cameras of an awaiting press conference on July 5th of 2016, and exonerates Hillary from any wrongdoing.
Do you see the pattern?
It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Assistant Attorney General, Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.
FISA abuse, political espionage pick a crime, any crime, chances are this group and a few others did it:
All the same players.
All compromised and conflicted.
All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves.
All connected in one way or another to the Clinton’s.
They are like battery acid; they corrode and corrupt everything they touch. How many lives have these two destroyed?
As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Let us not forget that Comey’s brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.
The person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies? Yes, that would be Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background. Lisa H. Barsoomian, an Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protégé of James Comey and Robert Mueller. Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998.
Lawrence also represented;
Robert Mueller three times,
James Comey five times,
Barack Obama 45 times,
Kathleen Sebelius 56 times,
Bill Clinton 40 times,
and Hillary Clinton 17 times.
Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself
represented the FBI at least five times.
You may be saying to yourself, who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman? Apparently, someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court
dockets. Someone out there cares so much that even the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian.
Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. Although, Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is LisaBarsoomian@NIH.gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health. This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities. It’s a cover, so big deal right? What does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?
It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix and last but not least Mueller’s
never-ending investigation into collusion between the
Trump team and the Russians.
Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any
mention? Because she is Assistant Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein’s wife. – Tom Tancredo/Team America
Hopefully all these players will eventually be brought to justice, and I do mean, all.

Fake information site!
Ha ha ha. Anything you don’t want to hear, regardless of its truthfulness, is fake news. That is the way the Trump cult rolls.
Nothing to do but troll 3 day old comments and add your worthless 2 cents.
Says the old man who trolls 3 day old posts.
So Biden has the cure for cancer but he will ONLY expose that cure if he is elected as the President in 2020. What a lying fool and a disgraceful human being he and the entire Demon- critic party is. Such a sad sad little man.
The fakest of fake news.
That isn’t what he said. You are not a patriot.
Why would anyone believe anything Biden promises , he had eight years with Obama to do good things for our country and failed badly , they were only interested in lining their own pockets . They both have lied and stolen from American people . Don’t trust him one bit.
Joe’s previous boss also tried a medical ploy. Obama said that if we liked our doctor we could keep our doctor. After Obama was elected, he said he misspoke. Don’t let another Democrat politician misspeak themselves into office..
MY “RIGHTS” are not privileges granted to me by liberal demokkkrats and the corrupt news media… “THEY ARE MY INALIENABLE RIGHTS” … not to be INFRINGED UPON‼️
So Harris admits to planning on Weaponization of the Justice Department for Political purposes should she win! DemoRATs just can’t stop from corrupting government Departments and Agencies for political purposes. They did it under Obama and they continue to do it today. Just look at what the Democrat lead House continues to do with it’s committees. If that’s not weaponization then what is? Resist, hate Trump, TDS, by all means necessary! Dems running the show are crooks!
“I am least racist person there is”
“Nobody has more respect for women than Donald Trump!”
“No-one has done more for people with disabilities than me”
“We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare – and nobody can do that like me”
“I will fix VA quickly.”
“I have raised/given a tremendous amount of money to our great VETERANS”
An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that @BarackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud.
And I, myself, Anonymous, have nothing credible or important, to say about anything. Everything I post, is copy and paste, and pure BS fake information.
WHY OUR HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE SO HIGH!!!
Bubba had shingles.
Those of us who spend much time in a doctor’s office should appreciate this! Doesn’t it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line?
Here’s what happened to Bubba:
Bubba walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Bubba said: ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aide came out and asked Bubba what he had.
Bubba said, ‘Shingles’ So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.
A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, ‘Shingles..’ So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
An hour later the doctor came in and found Bubba sitting patiently in the nude and asked Bubba what he had.
Bubba said, ‘Shingles.’ The doctor asked, ‘Where?’
Bubba said, ‘Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload ’em??’�
HOPE THIS MAKES YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD LIKE I DID… THAT’S WHY I HAD TO SEND THIS TO YOU….THESE DAYS WE NEED ALL THE LAUGHS
WE CAN GET!!
That’s a good one, thanks. And you are right about the assembly line.
Assembly line, really, how so Allen?
why do you paranoid people live in fear of someone named allen? to the point that youll accuse evryone anonymous of being this person? i believe the feeling is that your run through the building like youre on an assembly line or cattle in a slaughter house, one faceless nameless paycheck after another or sorta like cattle nobody really cares about. just a recepticle for the products doctors sell and a source of income, people are complaining that they feel as though the doc treats us like meat instead of people. someone to get prescribed whatever new medicine hes getting financial kickbacks for over prescribing to anyone and everyone for anything and everything. doctors are corrupt drug peddling pieces of shit. all they care about is moving pills to make the bmw payment. they literally profit off of suffering and pain they help create when they push their pharmacutical poison on people who need medical attention not pills.
You would think that after 40+ years in government he’d have something considerable accomplished. Oh, other then getting filthy rich.
Now all of a sudden he says he could fix stuff. He must really think that the American people are stupid.
Obama probably loved him.; getting his coffee and paper everyday.
Wow Joe, such a Miracle Worker you are. Why wait to be President Joe, why don’t you cure cancer now. And also everyone will have the job they want, will all be millionaires, and will all live in fantasyland for the rest of their lives…as president, he will guarantee everything good for everybody. He is also going to flap his new wings and fly too close to the sun! (If our luck holds!!)
Biden is part of the reason why so many things in our country and our international trade agreements have gone wrong or at least could be much better for everyone.
Biden is freaking liar as usual and just like the rest make promises and don’t keep them but we have a real president who made promises and is keeping them

An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that @BarackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud.
The scope of this corruption is mind-boggling. Had Clinton won the Presidency, it would have been buried forever. Judicial Watch has done an extraordinary job of digging out substantial evidence and making it available to those with prosecutorial authority. It is such a web of agencies, people, countries and laws that it is understandable now why this effort to hold people accountable is taking so much time. Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch deserve a medal for all they have accomplished with their diligence and tireless effort.
Your mind boggles pretty easily, doesn’t it.
Thanks to Judicial watch, we are seeing more and more come to light. It all leads back to O-bama.
Judicial Watch is run by one crazy guy living in a basement, and it exists just to make money for that guy, who can’t get any kind of job. He makes up everything he prints on those crappy mailings.
The polls said Hillary had a 93% chance of winning. Trump holds rallies constantly and draws crowds of over 30k. Biden gave a speech yesterday to 85.
Very sad how so many entertainers are weaponizing racism for their own political agendas, just so very sad when people do this rather than accepting the voters in 2016 wanted a change in leadership.
You mean like this? https://www.npr.org/2019/06/12/732207387/house-judiciary-committee-approves-funds-for-sept-11-first-responders
How about car manufacturers, cars kill more people than guns. Oh I forgot, politicians don’t really care about people getting killed with guns, they just want to take the gun away so they can have more power over us. And that’s the truth about gun control..
Now the wife of the US Senate leader is shown to have used her government job to enrich her own finances. GOP is a corrupt outfit similar to the underworld mafia.
That was a Democrat you Dumb ASS!
He’s talking about Mitch the Bitch’s wife. She must have a really strong stomach to be able to look at him every day. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/10/mcconnell-elaine-chao-1358068

What ever happened to Quinn P. Symmonds?
He was shot for gross stupidity.
WHY ARE OUR! TAX DOLLARS financing an organization that is trying to take down our government???!!
Soros must be stopped alongside with ALL THE OTHER LEFTIST believers.
Puff puff, pass pass
So, let me see if I understand what the Democrats in Congress are asking! They want a totally unredacted copy of the Mueller report! Attorney General Barr is prohibited from honoring the request because it is against the law to show grand jury information! That means the Democrats are demanding AG Barr breaks the law! Therefore, they’re gonna hold him in contempt of Congress because he refuses to break federal law!! But, Democrats don’t understand because they are comprised of people who are utterly corrupt, none of whom enforces or upholds the Constitution, and they all took an oath to do just that! Every sanctuary city in the USA is run by Democrats! Where in the US Constitution does it say a state can create a law which makes it lawful to ignore federal law???
The House of Reps has the constitutional right to review the entire report. You must be a N. Korea commie loving sicko just like your orange heads master.
Nothing good comes from voting for democrats socialists.
Nothing good comes from listening to you.
Seattle now realizes that its minimum wage hike has been a failure. No surprise here; minimum wage hikes destroy jobs and decrease paychecks.
“A minimum wage increase is, in effect, a tax on labor,” says TPPF’s Chuck DeVore. “When you tax something, you get less of it. And that’s what Seattle is seeing—as is California and other places that have raised their minimum wages.”
Oh, bullshit.
Great post LIB.
Biden is part of the corrupt Obama administration been in Washington for decades and nothing to show for it. He has no ability to lead only to continue the criminal and corruptness of the left.
Obama and Biden came into office in 2009, just in time for the crooked Republican-created housing and financial crisis to hit. They fixed it, and now Dump and Republicrooks are creating another one. The farm economy is faltering, gas prices are up, but the greedy rich have enough for a second or third house or boat, so they think everything’s fine. The reckoning is coming, and it won’t be pretty.
I will never vote for another democrat in my life, because of their behavior since Trump was elected. However I am planning to watch their debates. They have all walked in lock step over their agenda, and I can not wait until they start eating each other and throwing each other under the bus. It will be entertaining. As far as Biden, they have already begun circling like a bunch of vultures.
You never voted for any to begin with, so it’s no loss.
A vote for Biden is a vote for anything goes. Abandoning his convictions makes him look weak & confused. It’s like opening a birthday gift & finding that it nothing but an empty box.
Joe Biden is discovering that being the frontrunner in the polls in a crowded field is like being the crab that’s almost made it out of the bucket: all the other crabs keep trying to drag him back down.
AOC, you are a fkn POS, you’ve been there for 5 months, you’re paid too much as it is for doing NOTHING. You should be fired for incompetency! Be grateful for the salary you will get for the 2 years that you’re there!
Elected officials aren’t fired, and since you don’t live in her district, you can’t vote against her. You BS is a waste of time, space, and bandwidth.
For someone who has only been in her positions for such a short time, AOC sure is demanding! AOC needs to stand down and understand that most Americans actually work for a living and I haven’t seen one thing that she has done for the American people. AOC needs to shut up and get some work done and stop being a ranting little spoiled brat.
Only a deeply closeted gay man could hate women so much.
Congress needs a 50% pay cut for doing zero for the past two years. The only thing that Democrats do is obstruction and waste the taxpayers dollars and time. Maybe we the people should ask all of them to return the pay since nothing is getting done.
I don’t care what color or ethnicity you parents are. If you are not teaching your children to respect and obey whatever a police officer tells them to do. Whatever that officer has to do to subdue that person is your fault.
t is time America stops congress from urinating all over us. They only want money power. We need to be treated like the American Citizens that we are. We are tired of being trampled by criminals.
It’s Dump who’s famous for liking the urine shower by Russian hookers.
Dump’s the one who likes being urinated on, by Russian hookers.
Why the hell does the House deserve a pay raise? They haven’t done their job at all! They spend all their time trying to figure out how to illegally oust Trump ,wasting tax payers money, blatantly ignorant to our boarders, or any other important problems facing our country! They would be fired if they worked for any legitimate company in the US!

They deserve zero pay raises. Until Congress follows the same rules for medical plans, retirement, etc, their increases should be done based on merit by a panel of voters from their districts. Speaking of merit, they have done nothing for years, no raises are warranted.
California Democrat politicians literally stealing millions of dollars from farmers.
Isn’t it amazing that California has all the money to provide free healthcare to illegals but no money to pay farmers what they are owed for three years> Because most of the money went to the pocket of the criminal democrats. Stop voting in assholes California
What the democrats show everyday is they hold no compassion for Americans they pander to illegals for votes they are power hungry and will do anything to achieve it.. they hate president Trump because he fights for America and its people they are sick!
Every word of this post is bullshit and you know it
