RUTHFULLY YOURS

Trump is an oaf, a distraction and a joke who has latched on to a vein of American discontent with illegal immigration…And he once favored amnesty for illegal aliens..Even Bernard Sanders is more suited to enter the most serious election of our time……..rsk

Las Vegas — It’s the height of political fashion to bash Donald Trump, and I’ve done my share. It’s harder to understand his appeal, but it’s absolutely necessary if we are to come to terms with the political times we live in.

Anyone who watched Trump’s speech to 2,000 attendees of FreedomFest in Las Vegas on Saturday could easily lampoon his bizarre, meandering, and egomaniacal delivery. But by the time he left the stage, a big chunk of the audience approved of him, and many expressed a willingness to vote for him.

“Trump was upbeat, and, unlike other candidates, he’s a man of action,” Barbara Carter, of Las Vegas, told me after the speech. She is considering voting for Trump. A former resident of Wasilla, Alaska, she was a fan of Sarah Palin’s when Palin was mayor there. She says that both Palin and Trump cut through the politically correct rhetoric of our day and speak plain truths. When I pointed out that Trump never presents any evidence for his charges that the Mexican government deliberately sends rapists and killers to the U.S., she agreed that both Palin and Trump “may have been pushed onto the national stage before they were ready.”

Readers keep asking me about the presidential race, and to be honest my heart sinks. Yes, yes, I know it’s important to elect a Republican candidate because, if nothing else, as we’re always told, they get to nominate strong candidates to the Supreme Court – like, er, Anthony Kennedy and, um, John Roberts. So that said:

Because for many years the only TV station I could get in my corner of New Hampshire was Channel 3 Vermont (with its excellent local news show anchored by the late and much missed Marselis Parsons), I’ve been watching Bernie Sanders since he was Mayor of Burlington. His rise from mayor to congressman to senator embodies what one might call the Ben&Jerrification of a once great and rock-ribbed Republican state. A New York Jew with a very urban accent, Bernie started in the latte enclave of Chittenden County, expanded to other semi-flatlandered quartiers of the state, but eventually conquered the plaid-clad hold-out of the North-East Kingdom. He did all this as an “independent socialist” without any party machine.

So he’s not just an attractive gadfly but an extremely well organized one. Which is why a man who is largely unknown to the national media is pulling the largest crowds of this campaign – 10,000 in Wisconsin, 8,000 in Maine. And he’s being very positive – it’s all about Bernie, very little about Hillary. He would be the oldest man ever elected president and 83 years old at the end of two terms – which we won’t have to worry about because the entire country will have slid off the cliff long before then. But he’s enthusing the base, and any base wants to be enthused.

Hillary, by contrast, is in trouble not because she’s a sleazy, corrupt, cronyist, money-laundering, Saud-kissing liar. Democrats have a strong stomach and boundless tolerance for all of that and wouldn’t care were it not for the fact that she’s a dud and a bore. A “Hillary rally” is a contradiction in terms: the thin, vetted crowd leave more demoralized and depressed than when they went in. To vote for Bernie is to be part of a romance, as it was with Obama. To vote for Hillary is to validate the Clintons’ indestructible sense of their own indispensability – and nothing else. Hillary is a wooden charmless stiff who supposedly has enough money to be carefully managed across the finish line. But that requires Democratic electors to agree to be managed, too, and the Sanders surge is a strong sign that, while they’re relaxed about voting for an unprincipled arrogant phony marinated in ever more malodorous and toxic corruption, they draw the line at such a tedious and charisma-free specimen thereof.

While the Donald Trump sideshow has been sucking the oxygen from the news cycle over the last few days, the Obama administration has been off quietly doing what they do best — undermining America and the free world at every opportunity.

This time it’s the big one, finally bringing home the long-awaited Iran deal that promises peace in our time with the Islamic Republic much as Neville Chamberlain promised peace with Nazi Germany, although, unlike the Chamberlain agreement, made when Britain was militarily weak, we are the military powerhouse giving away the store to the vastly weaker side — and that store is reported to include a “signing bonus” of some fifty billion bucks, good news indeed for Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi, the Revolutionary Guards and, among other mass murderers, Bashar al-Assad.

SF Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi wants to tear down our borders and the walls of our prisons.

The hostility of the radical left-wing sheriff of San Francisco to America’s prison system — not just to federal immigration law — may have been a factor in the decision to release a Mexican illegal alien who went on to murder young Kate Steinle.

Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi (pronounced: Meer-kah-ree-me) is taking heat for releasing Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a 45-year-old illegal alien with a second grade education who reportedly has seven felony convictions and has been deported from the U.S. five times. Federal officials had characterized the man who went on to shoot Steinle at Pier 14 on July 1 as an “enforcement priority” and filed an “immigration detainer” asking jail officials to hold him until they could take custody.

Why negotiations are shaping up to be a win-win for the Mullahs.

The mainstream media have ignored and overlooked the Islamic Republic’s recent moves, which threatened regional security. The Islamic Republic’s search for regional hegemony has also been overshadowed by President Obama’s prioritization of signing a nuclear deal.

Iranian leaders and media outlets have given an estimate of how much they have so far gained from the nuclear talks. The Iranian leaders and state-owned media have recently boasted about receiving approximately $12 billion in assets over the period of the nuclear talks by July 7th.

The ruling clerics in the Islamic Republic and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps have also unveiled and are celebrating the deployment of a new and second long-range Ghadir radar. According to an Iranian state-owned outlet, Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ (IRGC) air defense force, who unveiled the Ghadir phased-array radar, pointed out that “Discovering and tracking micro aerial vehicles (MAV)… is one of the special qualities of the Ghadir radar system.”

Why the Muslim-majority country is outlawing the Islamic attire.

While people who oppose the wearing of facial coverings by Muslim women are routinely accused of Islamophobia, the Muslim-majority nation of Chad has not only banned such garments but ordered one variety, the burqa, burned.

“Wearing the burqa must stop immediately from today, not only in public places and schools but throughout the whole of the country,” said Prime Minister Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet, Chad’s ruler since 1990.

To spend money trying to interfere with the carbon cycle is foolish; to try to bury carbon dioxide is a crime against the biosphere.

“Climate” is formally the thirty year “average” of weather. Climate is what we expect, on average – weather is what we actually get.



It is true that atmospheric conditions (dust, smoke, smog, aerosols, aircraft contrails, clouds and trace gases) can affect Earth’s weather. But none of these minor atmospheric constituents can generate energy – they merely filter, reflect, transfer or redirect a portion of solar energy. The effects of any changes tend to be short-lived, or reversed as the atmosphere clears; or they often trigger negative feedbacks that largely offset the initial effect. In particular, carbon dioxide does not drive the weather. No weather forecaster notes what tomorrow’s level of CO2 is likely to be, and no farmer wonders what it will be next spring.



The sun is the short-term weather wizard. It clearly controls the changing temperatures of day and night, winter and summer; it energizes the atmosphere to give the power to storms and cyclones; together with the Moon it produces tides and gyres and their changing cycles drive weather cycles on Earth. Meteorologists, long-range forecasters who study solar and planetary phases, and many intelligent farmers are best placed to forecast weather. The carbon-centric model predictions have failed dismally, suggesting strongly that carbon dioxide does not control weather.



In the winter of 1993, Colin Ferguson exercised his racial animosity against whites by shooting passengers on a commuter train from Manhattan. Upon investigation, it was found that he had a vendetta against whites.

After the Rodney King case, white truck driver Reginald Denny was savagely beaten by angry blacks. During the ensuing riots, black and Hispanic looters were given a pass under the rubric of “justified social rage.”

The aforementioned material comes from Dinesh D’Souza’s 1995 book entitled The End of Racism: Principles for a Multiracial Society. Now, twenty years later, we see how this “violent expression” is expanding, all the while being promoted by the first black president of the United States.

Currently, we see out-of-control black teenagers attacking people at malls and swimming pools, yet the coverage in the media is, for the most part, nonexistent. Colin Flaherty leads the charge in exposing the brutality and racist motivation, but he is a lone voice in the wilderness.

The Arab world’s anti-Israeli front is crumbling By Moshe Arens

For many Arab countries, averting the mortal dangers posed by ISIS and
a nuclear Iran has become more important than backing the Palestinian
cause.

What is generally referred to as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has,
in effect, been over the years, a three-dimensional conflict
involving, in addition to the Palestinians, also the Arab world and
the Muslim world. Hostility to Israel has been the one unifying factor
in the Arab and Muslim world, which overcame disagreements on other
matters between the constituent members. Since the founding of the
Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964, the Palestinian issue has
served as the linchpin around which hostility to Israel has been built
and unity maintained.

What climate-change sceptics have long suspected turns out to be 100% true: Having devoted entire careers to whipping up scenarios of catastrophe and ruin, it seems your settled scientists are anything but. By their own admission, they are case studies in depression and abnormal psychology
Credulous journalists have found a new genre of stories: climate scientists on the verge of a nervous breakdown. If you go by a recent spate of reports detailing the near-suicidal despair afflicting the warmist elite, something called ‘pre-traumatic stress disorder’ is prompting climateers to set aside their computer models and report for treatment. It seems that working long days tweaking temperature records and cherry-picking data to conjure apocalyptic scenarios takes a dreadful toll — especially with the real-world halt to warming now stretching to 18 years and beyond.

The doyen of climate journalists is the UK Guardian’s Roger Harrabin. His July 9 story focused on an un-named “professor of ocean geology” discussing ocean heating and alleged acidification caused by CO2 emissions. Harrabin wrote:
