Fertile Soil


Christie Count
Seeking Political Revival, Christie Joins ’16 Contenders at G.O.P. Forum (New York Times, 3/30/2014)

Only one Chris Christie story in yesterday's New York Times. This is outrageous. Write the Times today and demand more Christie/Bridgegate stories. 

(Of course still nothing on gun-running California Democrat Leland Yee....)


Melting, Collapsing, Intensifying
The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations group that periodically summarizes climate science, concluded that ice caps are melting, sea ice in the Arctic is collapsing, water supplies are coming under stress, heat waves and heavy rains are intensifying, coral reefs are dying, and fish and many other creatures are migrating toward the poles or in some cases going extinct. (New York Times, 3/31/2014)

The previously discredited IPCC issues its April Fools Day missive on global...make that climate change.

Of course you would have to dig deep to find out the real objective. It's all about foreign aid:

It cited a World Bank estimate that poor countries need as much as $100 billion a year to try to offset the effects of climate change; they are now getting, at best, a few billion dollars a year in such aid from rich countries.

The wonderful Climatedepot.com provides the real (convenient) truth:

Seventeen and a half years. Not a flicker of global warming. The RSS satellite record, the first of the five global-temperature datasets to report its February value, shows a zero trend for an impressive 210 months. (Climatedepot.com, 3/4/2014)


Horror Story for Harry Reid
Then there is Donna Morse, 61, a widowed dental hygienist and yoga buff who is long overdue for a mammogram and blood work. She lost her insurance last year because it did not meet the new law’s standards. Now she has a new plan with much higher premiums, and which few doctors and hospitals will accept. (New York Times, 3/31/2014)

Not sure how this got by the censors at the Times, but it would appear that, for some, health care premiums are much higher and their doctors and hospitals are no longer available. Oh well...


Transoutrage
A Cambridge transgender woman, outraged that convicted wife killer Michelle Kosilek could receive a free gender reassignment operation that health insurers refuse to cover for law-abiding citizens, has filed suit demanding the same right to tax-funded surgery — a move critics say could mark the beginning of a dramatic, costly shift in entitlements under the controversial federal court ruling. (Bostonherald.com, 3/31/2014)

So - to be clear - an individual wants his/her health insurance company to pay for his/her "gender reassignment" surgery based on the legal precedent that a convicted criminal has apparently won the right to have taxpayers pay for his/her surgery (the criminal's that is).

This is the world that Liberals have created. And America as we knew it is gone.

  1. In your outrage against the NY Times Bridgegate coverage you are overlooking the fact that the Daily News and NY Post are all over it with less even handed writing. They are in the "How could he not know" camp and insinuating that it will all come out somehow if they keep pushing on it.

    Personally, I am in the "if he did not know, then how can we trust him to be a hands on manager" camp and "if he did know, boy is he stupid and vindictive" camp.

  2. Fair enough. Where are you on the issue of whether Hillary can be trusted because of her misdirections on Benghazi?
