June 1, 2017 President Trump stood at a White House podium and announced that he was standing up for America, for Americans, and for American jobs. He proved he was against the globalist, no-border crowd occupying much of California and New York, as well as Europe, as he withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement. President Trump’s stand even drew Goldman Sachs CEO Loyd Blankfein out of his globalist closet long enough for his first tweet ever, stating “today’s decision is a setback for the environment and the U.S.’s leadership position in the world.”
The simple fact that the control agent of the world’s banking system, Goldman Sachs, is so vocal against the President’s decision should convince you that it’s the right decision for all Americans, even those who don’t support it and don’t really know why.
We’re now in for more boring and too often catatonic flailing from the MSM which will assert that the world is ending, that Miami will drown as a direct result of the decision, and that our children will have no air to breathe.
Goldman Sachs would benefit hundreds of billions of dollars as it would deliver and “manage” the system that would be at the heart of the engines which would control the cash redistribution – cash moving from the U.S. taxpayers to African and Asian countries. There is much cash to be made in the carbon tax and climate change industry.
But, you say, the U.S. pollutes less today than it has in a century, and in fact has made greater strides than any major country to clean-up its air. Doesn’t matter to the globalists, propagandists and their convenient faithful. With emotion, anger, and self-righteous indignation, we will be told that America, the world’s industrial leader, must be punished for having polluted the air for a century, as well as for having been a colonialist. Apparently, African countries cannot join the developed world because America polluted the air, and changed the climate in Africa. The unfounded arguments and assertions will be are absurd as all of the over-the-top lies we have been treated to since President Trump was elected — more self-hatred coming from the left. Argue with them and you’ll automatically be accused of racism – guaranteed. Try it.
There is little point in insisting that Obama has no right to enter America into such a Treaty without Congressional approval. It serves little to indicate that America and American taxpayers cannot afford to enter into such a totally unbalanced and senseless agreement.
Globalists seek to move power away from America, and place in a remote location like Brussels, where foreigners can decide the fate of Americans.
Trump today stood up and said NO. Well done Mr. President.
A constituent of the vast baby boomer generation with a career which has been fortunate to know the ponderous corporate worlds, as well as the intimately pressurized, and invigorating entrepreneurial domains of high tech and venture capital, I have harvested my share of mistakes meandering through corridors of enterprise from Silicon Valley, to London and endless, colourful, sometimes praetorian points in between. The voyage has provided an abundance of fodder for a pen yielding to an inquisitive keyboard, a foraging mind, and a passionate spirit.
Whether political or business or social or economic or personal, is it not all political? It is a privilege to write, and an even greater privilege to be read by anyone, and sometimes with the wind at my back the writing may occasionally be legible. I do not write to invite scorn, nor to invite respect, but if I get really lucky the writing can stimulate thinking. I also write for the very selfish purpose of animating my own processes, and engaging the best of what life offers. Above all, whether biting fire or swatting shadows, I am grateful to be gifted the freedom to write and publish whatever flows down to the keyboard. To all those who enabled this freedom, and to all those standing guard to preserve it, I am indebted.
@Greg:
No, unlike you, I do understand how the internet works. What I said still applies. Your advocate only says: “He said it’s up, well it’s not, it’s down'”. Providing that in a link only makes libs feel good, it doesn’t advance any reality.
Greg, do you really think the sea levels are up 10 inches since 1970? The city of New York would be Venice with boats cruising up and down Broadway. Could you attempt a little logic?
No. I’m not aware that any credible climate scientist has even made such a claim. This sounds like another straw man someone has set up in an effort to distract people from the actual projections and time frames involved. Serious sea level increases are expected over the course of the entire 21st Century.
The beginning of this a trend has actually been observed. It’s expected to accelerate with the passage of time. Arctic ice is undeniably thinning, and the Greenland ice cover is undeniably melting at an increasing rate with each passing summer. The water is going somewhere. That it’s winding up in the planet’s oceans seems like a safe bet.
@Greg:
Explain the Holocene Thermal Maximum. Then you can explain why, after the Holocene Thermal Maximum the earth entered an ice age. Did Al Gore stop flying around in his private jet?
Y’all leftists tried the “global warming” fear mongering and that didn’t work so now we have “climate change” as y’all dumped the first phrase.
Here is what makes me laugh; that you on the left think humans can have any notable impact on nature. If you could, we would have eliminated things like droughts, hurricanes, tsunamis and tornados a long time ago.
@retire05, #54:
It’s thought to have to do with the orbital forcing of climate, which relates to long-term, cyclical eccentricities in the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The current warming trend doesn’t appear to be directly related to either of the orbital eccentricities, nor to the 26,000-year wobble of the poles.
Of course an industrialized global civilization can affect the planetary climate. Human activities on such a large scale can change variables of a complex climate equation. We’re altering the biosphere in some very significant ways. We nearly screwed up the Earth’s protective ozone layer royally with artificially created industrial fluorocarbons, before we suddenly realized what we were doing.
@Greg: But it is related to solar cycles, something your climate alarmists don’t like to acknowledge.
@Greg:
Are you aware that the ice at the South Pole is the thickest it has ever been? If it’s colder there and warmer at the North Pole (which it’s not, but pretend it is) then on the average, wouldn’t it still be the same average? What happened to algore’s prediction that there would be no arctic ice cap about 10 years ago and the water would be in the streets of New York now? Which of those came true?
@retire05:
So true Retire. Nature doesn’t even know there are humans. Humans have no impact. Many times catastrophes have hit the earth (without humans being the cause) and the planet is still here and life is still here.
Yes it’s quite laughable that liberals think humans have the ability to affect life on earth. Why, I’ll even bet that they think that if the continents all separated and went there separate ways, it would be detrimental to human life. Wait……that happened before humans, and yet, humans still appeared. Yes, the earth has been here for millions of years, humans have been here for a second (relatively speaking) and yet, humans are the problems. What a joke.
@Greg:
Wow such statements of certainty: It’s thought to be….. The current warming trend ‘doesn’t appear to be’. Sounds like we need to put our money into that.
What’s your proof? So far the earth environment has not been affected to be detrimental to humans. When do you think it will begin to affect them?
Nearly? You mean as in : ‘we didn’t’. ?
@Bill… Deplorable Me: What? Bill, you mean as in ‘if the earth is closer to the sun for a few years that the average temp on earth might be a little warmer during those years? How novel, who wudda thunk? Well, then, that must mean if the earth is a little farther away than average that it might be a little cooler? Hmmm. Maybe we ought to check into that. While we check that, wonder if we could find out if during the ‘closer’ periods, there might be more sunlight on the earth and vice versa. Naah, probably couldn’t get the libs to buy into that.
What Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, said following the recent attack:
And Trump’s Twitter comments about it:
Somebody needs to get this guy’s cell phone away from him. And maybe the nuclear launch codes. And not necessarily in that order.
@Greg: So he said:
Now this is in a city where the police are supposed to be unarmed, and he says they will now be armed, but nothing going on here. go about business as usual, there were only a few killed and 40 something wounded but if it wasn’t you, you don’t have to be concerned.
So Greg, this is someone that you want having your back?
And you think Trump shouldn’t have a cell phone?
Just curious, London police are supposed to be unarmed. wonder where they’re getting these guns from? Must not be quite as ‘illegal’ as London ‘claims’ them to be.
So Greg, if this were going on in your city, you would be ‘business as usual’ nothing to see here folks, just keep moving along. Chuckle.
@Redteam, #62:
They have well-armed and highly trained response forces to deal with circumstances such as this. That’s why two terrorists were lying dead on the sidewalk within 8 minutes of the attack being reported. That they remained highly visible the next day was what the Mayor was reassuring the public about. I suppose I might be a bit uneasy if uniformed police with tactical weapons were suddenly appearing around my own neighborhood. I might appreciate a reassuring comment from the mayor.

So, today we have a change of subject. The Tweeter in Chief is publicly dumping on Qatar, as a promoter of and safe haven for terrorists.
Has anyone informed him that Qatar hosts the biggest U.S. military base in the Middle East, out of which most of our air operations against ISIS are conducted? It’s kind of important that their government continues to cooperate with us.
Yep. The Tweeter in Chief strikes again.
Trump Takes Credit for Saudi Move Against Qatar, a U.S. Military Partner
Hey, it’s not as if he pounded a wedge between the United States and a NATO partner, or something…
@Greg:
hmmm, so when the Brits say their police officers are not armed, they are not being truthful.
So, they only have armed police when there is a high probability of trouble, but the citizens shouldn’t be alarmed? That’s only reasonable to a liberal.
So let’s see if we’ve got this straight. The police aren’t armed unless there is a high likelihood of trouble and here we suddenly have lots of policemen with big weapons and they are hanging around because of this high likelihood of trouble, but citizens shouldn’t be concerned and should just go about business as usual.
Isn’t it about time to be sending the mayor for a mental evaluation and see how severe his mental problem is.
Let’s see….. we have a blockade across this road because the bridge is out, we’ll stop you and warn you about the bridge being out, but tell you there is nothing to be concerned about, just go on down the road as if everything is normal.” Then go on down the road and run into the river and while floating down the river, you can be thankful that you knew that was going to happen.
I think liberalism is a mental disorder. Kinda like being gay.
@Greg:
So, let’s see if I can follow this liberal reasoning. Because the US has a Yuge military base in Qatar, we should just pretend that there is no terrorists there?
Are you actually saying that we should be supportive of the government of Qatar for being a haven for terrorists so they will continue to allow us to use the military base?
I’m beginning to believe that you couldn’t pass a course in liberalism. Better sign up for the course in Stupid.
@Redteam, #66:
Qatar isn’t the point of origin of Wahhabism, nor the primary source of money funding the international expansion of it’s fundamentalist ideology, nor the nation of which the great majority of 9/11 terrorists were citizens. For 10 points, can you name the nation that is?
@Greg:
answer the question that I asked? I’ll repeat it just to make it easier for you: “Because the US has a Yuge military base in Qatar, we should just pretend that there is no terrorists there?”
@Greg: Back to the subject, there is no warming trend, the data was faked by religious fanatics to try to prove the false climate religion. https://science.house.gov/news/press-releases/former-noaa-scientist-confirms-colleagues-manipulated-climate-records
The data is as true as there are more than two genders, Obama had a scandal free reign, Hillary is completely honest and Maxine Waters is in control of her faculties.
Control real pollution sulphur and heavy metals, you are a carbon unit, you eat carbon, plants need CO2, plant a tree, begin a garden there are bigger bogeymen to fight and you just circle around a good thing in the atmosphere, if you all are so afraid of CO2 stop exhaling!
@kitt</So true, those that are really worried about high CO2 should just plant more plants which will suck it right down.
@Redteam: If CO2 dropped to 0% we would all die. The left science deniers just throw other peoples money at it have no plan except income redistribution. Save the bees is pretty low on their priorities, Bayer and Monsanto see to that.
@Redteam: I’m calling attention to the fact that the liberal Greg won’t answer this question. Strange how they insist that Conservatives answer questions but refuse to answer those they don’t like.
@Redteam, #72:
I tried to ignore it because it’s a dishonest question. Obviously, we shouldn’t be pretending that there are no terrorists anywhere where terrorists happen to be.
That doesn’t mean it wasn’t stupid to single out Qatar for bombastic Twitter comments that could potentially damage our relationship with a government hosting the largest, and one of the most important military bases in the Middle East.
No doubt there are supporters and advocates of Islamic extremism inside Saudi Arabia. They’re also one of the most oppressive Islamic states. Women aren’t allowed to drive; they’re not allowed venture out unless chaperoned by a husband or male relative. We seem to have no problem overlooking all of that.
@Redteam: YUGE YUGO BASE?
Is that a problem??
