I hope the alarmists who terrified Greta Thunberg with scares about a global warming apocalypse are ashamed of themselves. They’ve now seen this troubled girl’s naked fear as she cried and ranted at the UN climate meeting. Shame on the likes of Tim Flannery, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and UN boss Antonio Guterres.

Jasper, GA — If you still have any doubt that police are here just for your protection, the following video should be enough to convince you otherwise. An entirely innocent man, Charles A. Spradlin had committed no crime, had harmed no one, and was on his own property when two Georgia State Troopers illegally stopped him, kidnapped him, and stole his vehicle. The gross violation of rights was captured on video as the two troopers discussed the various ways to accomplish their illegal goals. The trooper’s conduct is now the subject of a federal lawsuit.

Though by now Washington appears no closer to military strikes on Iran than it was before the Sept. 14 Saudi Aramco attack, a joint statement by Britain, France, and Germany has brought the kind of international allied consensus the US administration is looking for.

The three European countries announced it was “clear” Iran was responsible for the twin aerial strikes on the facilities, however, stopped short of calling for any military retaliation, instead urged Iran to reengage negotiations on its nuclear and missile programs. The statement does warn of “risk of a major conflict” and underscores making “collective efforts towards regional stability and security” which includes bringing the Yemen war to an end.  Continue reading “UK, France, Germany Say It’s “Clear” Iran Attacked Saudis; Johnson Backs New ‘Trump Deal’”
