PART XXIII AND STILL GOING STRONG: The Greatest Scientific Fraud Of All Time — Part XXIII.
Despite what you might think from reading the mainstream press, the past few years in world temperatures have not been particularly good for the continuation of climate alarm. No matter how you measure them (the main methods being ground thermometers, weather balloons, and satellites), world atmospheric temperatures have gone down for more than three years since a peak reached in early 2016. The data set that I consider to be the most reliable — the satellite-based measurements from the University of Alabama at Huntsville — gives the global temperature “anomaly” for the most recent month (June 2019) as +0.47 deg C. That is well down from the peak of +0.88 deg C in early 2016, and represents a decrease of about a third of what had been the entire increase since the satellite record began in 1979.
Read the whole thing. But if you missed Parts I – XXII, you might want to take the day off.

LIZ SHELD’S MORNING BRIEF: Bill Clinton Don’t Know Nuthin’ About Jeffrey Epstein. “Four trips? Fox News reported back in 2016 that Clinton ‘was a much more frequent flyer on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet than previously reported, with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the ‘Lolita Express’ — even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights, according to records obtained by FoxNews.com.’ Oh wow. That sounds bad. Was he doing something unsavory?”

JAY CARUSO: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shouldn’t insult Nancy Pelosi. She should learn from her.
The problem is that she’s still behaving like an advocate, not a legislator. The recent comments by Pelosi about AOC and her fellow freshmen Democrats, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, shone a spotlight on the shortcomings of Pelosi’s younger colleagues.
When asked about the recent $4.6 billion emergency border package, which Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and Tlaib all voted against in the form of a protest vote, Pelosi said, “All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world. But they didn’t have any following. They’re four people, and that’s how many votes they got.”
You can imagine the response. Time magazine editor-at-large, Anand Giridharadas, griped on Twitter, “These are four historic candidates and now members of Congress. And this is the language their boss throws at them? This is why people clamor for generational change. Because it is hard in life’s sunset to learn to see people you are trained to overlook.” Ocasio-Cortez in a tweet, said, “That public ‘whatever’ is called public sentiment. And wielding the power to shift it is how we actually achieve meaningful change in this country.”
I’m not sure Jay realizes it, but he may have just shown why AOC will continue insulting Pelosi. The young congresswoman seems to think she’s learned all she needs to know to become the next Pelosi, and that the more she diminishes the current Speaker, the faster her rise to power.

MEMORIES: “Former vice president Joe Biden exploded at a Democratic Senate colleague for blocking anti-busing legislation in the Judiciary Committee, calling him a ‘dirty bastard’ and a ‘son of a bitch’ during the hearing.” Back when it was actually a thing, busing was deeply unpopular with both black and white voters. Now it’s just another virtue signal for the virtue-signalling left.
“SHUT UP OR ELSE,” THEY EXPLAINED: Left Uses Threats, Violence to Stop Conservative Art.
Productions often wrestle with casting changes, budgetary gaps and scheduling conflicts. That’s maddening, of course, but par for the cinematic course. Savvy filmmakers expect nothing less.“Unplanned” endured much more.
• Music publishers wouldn’t let the filmmakers tap their songs
• Twitter temporarily banned the official “Unplanned” account on opening weekend
• Google briefly labeled the film “propaganda”
That’s just a short list. Now, those problems seem pesky compared to its current woes. The Christian Broadcasting Network is reporting two Canadian theaters canceled plans to show “Unplanned” following serious threats.
