Obama Blames Economy on “Insufficient Global Warming”

George Will hit the Obama administration with not one, but two, haymakers during his time on Fox News Sunday discussing our languid economy. The first hit came when Will reminded viewers that this was now the second year in a row where the Obama administration was blaming a bad economy on the fact that global warming wasn't severe enough!

"Well, for the second year in a row they've blamed poor quarterly growth on insufficient global warming, that is on winter, on an unusually cold winter..."

Will then went on to remind us all that during the Reagan recovery, when times were similarly hard, our nation saw greater job growth every month for two years than the Obama administration has seen in any single month! Then host Chris Wallace asked Will for another amazing statistic that he had recently been touting, this one about what the unemployment rate would look like if so many Americans hadn't left the job force during the Obama years. 

"If the workforce participation rate today were as high as it was on the day Barack Obama was inaugurated, the unemployment rate in this country would be 9.7 percent, we wouldn't be complaining about the bad recovery because we wouldn't call it a recovery..."

Redefining Reality In America

Truth Everlasting

Trashing Liberal Arts for the Masses

“Liberal professors have trashed the liberal arts, by converting so many liberal-arts courses into indoctrination centers for left-wing causes and fads, instead of courses where students learn how to weigh conflicting views of the world for themselves. 

Now a professor of English, one of the most fad-ridden of the liberal arts today, blames conservative critics for the low esteem in which liberal arts are held. Surely a professor of English cannot be unaware of how English departments, especially, have become hotbeds of self-indulgent, trendy fads such as trashing classic writings — using Shakespeare’s works as just another ideological playground for romping through with the current mantra of “race, class, and gender…The problem is not political, but educational. 

As John Stuart Mill pointed out back in the 19th century, students must hear opposing views from people who actually believe them, not as presented by people who oppose them.  —   Thomas Sowell

As someone who's early education was in a foreign country and came home to America and finished University at 19,  I witnessed first hand the educators who in the 1960s and 70s as students demanded their views be heard, their speech be unencumbered, the truth from their political leaders and demand fair social justice for all,  in turn produce a generation of Journalist who have become a political party master's most useful idiots, who believe truth is what every they make it, falsify facts to fit their needs and become in some cases, the story themselves. 

They have produced a generation of scientist who subscribe to unproven theories, supported by falsified data and hold steadfast in their views in order to gain lucrative grants. They have produce a generation of teachers that see racism or oppression in almost every piece of literature from "Moby Dick" to "Dr Seuss". They teach the White Male,  who's historical achievement in the advancement of civilization are being either attributed to someone else, criticized as evil or ignored altogether, as well as made life hell on earth for everyone of color, despite the evidence.  

They have succeeded in producing a generation who protest and shout down anyone with views opposing their own, worship social media as their god of truth, and refuse to see their responsibility in electing the corrupting forces that are tearing the country apart, all the while being willingly led around by the nose. 

North Korea Recruiting 'Pleasure Squad' for Kim Jong Un

"Pleasure squads" have existed in North Korea since the rule of the country's founder Kim Il Sung, grandfather of the present dictator. Officials were sent to select women and girls they deemed the prettiest to the dictator's many mansions, where they were expected to be available upon request.  The South Korean Paper Chosun Ilbo reports that Kim Jong Un became interested in re-forming the troupe while recovering from an undisclosed physical ailment at one of his summer cottages last year. 

The UK Telegraph reports that while most of the women were singers, dancers, or maids, those judged to be especially beautiful were made to be concubines to members of North Korea's elite power structure. 

According to the paper, many of the women were "retired" from the squads in their 20s and paired off with military officers looking for wives.   

The group that used to perform for Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, was disbanded shortly after the elder Kim's death in December 2011. The members were made to sign a pledge of secrecy in exchange for money and gifts. Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Tokyo's Waseda University described as an authority on North Korean affairs, said that Kim believed the women who entertained his father knew too many state secrets.  

The Chosun Ilbo reported the women who worked as entertainers received an amount of money worth $4,000 before returning to their hometowns.  Women who worked in Kim's palaces and summer homes as maids and cleaners received about half that amount.

Both groups of women also reportedly received home appliances.
