A large Canadian climate change expedition in the Arctic has been canceled because the ice is too thick. But the best part is that climate researchers are blaming global warming or climate change for ice that is so thick, it’s “unprecedented.”
Not enough ice? Global warming. Too much ice? Climate change. And these climate scientists wonder why skeptics don’t take them seriously. The Canadian climate change expedition was canceled because of “climate change” according to Science Daily.

Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Wednesday was not the day to talk about gun control, then proceeded to talk about gun control hours after the shooting of Louisiana Republican Rep. Steve Scalise in Alexandria, Va.
“I think we need to do more to protect all of our citizens,” McAuliffe told The Daily Caller News Foundation and other reporters near the scene of the shooting. “I have long advocated — this is not what today is about — but there are too many guns on the streets. We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence. I have long talked about this.” Continue reading “Virginia Governor Calls For Gun Control At Scene Of Scalise Shooting”

When we think of proxy armies and the arming of civilians, we think mostly of the US government meddling in other countries particularly in the Middle East. We also think of (the late) Zbigniew Brzezinski arming the Mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan in the late 1970s and we think of the Bush-Obama years and the creation, funding, training and arming of fighters which would all turn out to have the same agenda and enemies as ISIS.
For anyone keeping track of the current deep state war this is a heads-up warning of things that appear to be on the horizon in America as the road to Civil War 2.0 moves closer to reality. Continue reading “Are Proxy Armies Coming To America?”
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A 71-year-old man who said he robbed a Kansas City, Kansas, bank so he could get away from his wife blamed his actions on depression.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Commission on Wednesday launched legal action against the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland for failing to respect their commitment to take in refugees. The Commission, which polices EU agreements, sent formal letters of notice to the three states giving them one month to respond to its concerns. They could be taken to Europe’s top court, the European Court of Justice, if the matter is not resolved.
EU countries agreed in September 2015 to relocate 160,000 refugees from Greece and Italy as the two countries struggled to cope with more than a million migrants who entered Europe mostly through their borders that year. Continue reading “EU launches legal action against 3 countries over refugees”
