Posted at 4:41pm on Jun. 4, 2008 Another inconvenient fact . . .
By jwl1975
The global temperature drops again in May.

"[T]he change since the last big peak in global temperature in January 2007 at 0.594°C, giving a 16 month ∆T of -0.774°C which is equal in magnitude to the generally agreed upon “global warming signal” of the last 100 years."

Posted at 5:01pm on Mar. 26, 2008 Ice shelf collapses - man to blame
By jwl1975
http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/4452970a7693.html
A massive piece of the Wilkins ice shelf collapsed. This is evidence that there is warming in the antarctic region. While it is not explicitly stated, the article is linking the collapse to human activity, because unfortunately the terms "climate change" and "global warming" have been hijacked by the man is bad, climate alarmist crowd.
But the article makes a significant admission in the very last line.

Posted at 3:35pm on Mar. 25, 2008 The oceans aren't warming?!?!? Must be bad equipment.
By jwl1975
Another nail in the AGW hysteria coffin.
It's fascinating to watch their progress online. (The URLs are too complex to reproduce here, but Google "Argo Buoy Movement" or "Argo Float Animation," and you will be directed to the links.)
When they were first deployed in 2003, the Argos were hailed for their ability to collect information on ocean conditions more precisely, at more places and greater depths and in more conditions than ever before. No longer would scientists have to rely on measurements mostly at the surface from older scientific buoys or inconsistent shipboard monitors.

By jwl1975
Barack Obama's foreign policy advisor Susan Rice makes a stunning admission about Obama's and Hillary Clinton's readiness to be President:

That sounds about right to me!

Posted at 1:29pm on Mar. 4, 2008 Texas v. Ohio
By jwl1975
The WSJ had an excellent editorial comparing the economies of Texas and Ohio.
http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB120450306595906431.html
Over the past decade, Texas has added 1.6 million new jobs while Ohio has lost over 10,000 jobs. The unemployment rate in Texas is 4.5%, while in Ohio it is 6%.
Why is this the case? One key reason is that Texas has no corporate or personal income tax and Ohio has the 3rd highest corporate income tax rate and 6th highest personal income tax rate.

Posted at 1:08pm on Feb. 28, 2008 Obama to Canadians about NAFTA criticisms - Don't worry, I don't mean it.
By jwl1975
This is pretty amazing.
http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/TopStories/ContentPosting.aspx?feedname...
Within the last month, a top staff member for Obama's campaign telephoned Michael Wilson, Canada's ambassador to the United States, and warned him that Obama would speak out against NAFTA, according to Canadian sources.

Posted at 5:00pm on Feb. 26, 2008 Global cooling begins
By jwl1975
First, the graph:
http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/7390_large_hadcrut.jpg
Then, the article:
http://www.dailytech.com/Temperature+Monitors+Report+Worldwide+Global+Co...
The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C --
a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change every recorded, either up or down.

Posted at 4:29pm on Feb. 23, 2008 Is Obamamania starting to wane?
By jwl1975
I had previously believed that Obama would be the much more difficult candidate to face in the fall than Clinton because of Clinton's high negatives and the country's desire to move on from the last 16 years of bitterly contentious politics.
But that was before I began to learn more about Obama, listen and read to what he has to say, and learn about his wife's views of the United States. His liberal record is clear, his speeches say nothing, and his wife's bitterness and explicit admission that she is not proud of the United States is quickly becoming a problem for him.

Posted at 6:27pm on Feb. 18, 2008 Michelle Obama - not really a big fan of the United States
By jwl1975
"For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback."
Ben Smith quotes her here:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/For_the_first_time.html
As some have pointed out, Obama's message of hope is based primarily on the assumption that the United States is a miserable country where no one can prosper, succeed, and be happy. His wife apparently feels the same way.

Posted at 12:25pm on Feb. 16, 2008 Hillary is yesterday's news.
By jwl1975
I'm glad to see the shift toward critiques of Barack Obama's candidacy and policy positions on Red State, but it amazes me that, at least on the talk radio I catch on the way to and from work (local DC guys, Levin, sometimes Hannity), the majority of time is still spent talking about Hillary.
It's over for Hillary. She's done. Even if her firewall stands up, she'll still be behind in the delegate and popular vote count. The superdelegates aren't going to save her - they aren't stupid. As one commentator stated, the Potomac Primaries were the tipping point.

Posted at 11:02am on Feb. 13, 2008 The race is set - Obama v. McCain
By jwl1975
Sure, Hillary may continue to fight it out, but it's over. She cannot recover from the recent string of defeats, no matter what her strategy. The only thing she has left is to go all out and take down the the House of Cards that is Obama by going dirty, but such a strategy is destined to backfire. The liberal Democrat primary voters are now largely invested in Obama and is message. They will lash out against the Clintons if they go any dirtier than they already have. Hillary is in a no win position - she can't win by fighting clean and she can't win by fighting dirty. Her only option to come out of this looking good is to bow out gracefully and accept the VP slot in an attempt to unify the party.

Posted at 9:10am on Feb. 12, 2008 Obama the great uniter?
By jwl1975
I've been thinking, like many, that Hillary is less of a threat than Obama in the general because of her sky-high unfavorables and a general sentiment that people don't want to have another ligtning rod as President (although all Presidents are lightning rods to some extent), but I don't know if that will be true once the light really shines down on Obama's record.
A lot of this stuff has been posted individually here in other blog entries or comments, but when you put it all together, it becomes quite ugly. I can't see how he can be viewed as a uniter when he is so radically left.

Posted at 6:08pm on Feb. 11, 2008 Huckabee the liberal panderer?
By jwl1975
According to Jonah Golberg, Huckabee's campaign phone calls to the Republicans living in DC are not empahasizing the importance of gun rights and lifting the gun ban or the high taxes in the District that need cutting. Nope, instead Huckabee is talking up Congressional representation for D.C. - even though that's plainly unconstitutional - that whole D.C. not being a state thing.

Posted at 8:48pm on Feb. 10, 2008 Pelosi says the surge is a failure - that's news to Al Qaeda!!
By jwl1975
If anything demonstrates the need for conservatives to rally around John McCain this November, it's the Democrats continued denial about what role the Iraq war has in the war against Islamo-fascism and Al Qaeda in particular.
Pelosi says the surge is failure here:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8422.html
But Al Qaeda itself recognizes the devastation that has been wrecked upon it in Iraq.

Posted at 3:07pm on Feb. 7, 2008 I will be voting for Hillary!
By jwl1975
No, not in the general election, but in the Virginia primary. There is no doubt we have a better shot to keep the White House in a race against Hillary as compared to a race against Obama.
Now that the Republican race is over with, it's time to move past the disappointment over McCain, and start thinking about November. Our best shot is against Hillary, so I'm going to do my part to help he
