The Paris climate summit is the sequel to the Copenhagen climate conference. But perhaps more dangerous, because the UN learned from past mistakes and this time it has coopted and snookered the environmentalists. They’re now cheering for an agreement that even OPEC loves. We’ve read the EU and [Read more…]
Krugman on Terrorism — Almost Right
Krugman’s op-ed on terrorism is generally excellent. No, those puny terrorists can’t destroy western civilization, a spectre raised by Jeb! Bush, who apparently learned nothing from his big brother. And yes, appeasement (as the Liberals in Canada are doing) is a dreadful idea.
But right at the end he misses the most horrible truth when he says “Do you remember all the pronouncements that 9/11 would change everything? Well, it didn’t — and neither will this atrocity.” Unfortunately Krugman’s dreaming. So what did 9/11 change?
By enabling the Rumsfeld-Cheney-Bush overreaction, it caused: [Read more…]

So a bunch of politicians (mostly Republican) are sure they understand the nitty gritty of the Iran deal and can out-think six major countries and a whole slew of US nuclear physicists. Believe that, and I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Let’s check with somebody who might actually know something.
Efraim Halevy, a former head of Israel’s Mossad spy agency, said the deal forced Iran to accept an “unprecedented” system of inspections.
“Anyone who has followed events in Iran in recent decades or has studied the matter has to admit truthfully that he never believed Iran would ever agree to discuss these issues, let alone agree to” some of the deal’s terms, [Read more…]

Bernie knows it’s nonsense, but he’s not saying. He’s happy to have people fall for this line. 2015 is like 2007 and Bernie is like Obama. Let’s take a look.
- This time in 2007
- Hillary had 125 Democratic endorsements
- Obama had 47

|Teasr was here.|Carly: Really?? Five Facts You Should Know
 |
Carly Fiorina shot into the spotlight after the GOP debates, even though she didn’t make it to the top 10 but was relegated to the second tier of candidates. Sure, she came across better than the swarm of others at the podiums but let’s take a closer look at her track record:
- She has not served as CEO since her firing from Hewlett Packard in 2005. (HP stock rose 7% the day she was fired.)
- She nearly destroyed the company with her [Read more…]

|Teasr was here.|Bernie Get Elected? With 28%? That’s Insane
 |
In 1980, just before he won his first election, Bernie Sanders made a documentary about socialist Presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs. Bernie’s known the electoral score for 35 years. So why won’t he tell his supporters?
Debs ran for president five times, getting a high of 6% of the popular vote in 1912. If Bernie ran as a Democrat (which he’s not and never has been), he just might get as much as 28% of the vote!
That would leave the Republican candidate with 70% (2% independent), by far the biggest landslide of any president in history. Second place would then go to Lyndon Johnson who got 61% in 1964. [Read more…]

|Teasr was here.|Trump Is Toast
 |
Update (Aug 13). Nate Silver has now analyzed seven pairs of pre-post-debate polls. Trump came in next to last (Walker last) with a 2.3% slide pre to post. Not as bad as Rasmussen found, but he is still Toast. Next-to-last out of 17 is not going to frighten the GOP establishment, which is still out to do him in. Of course, he can still run on his own, if he doesn’t like Murdoch and the Kochs dictating the Republican nomination. [Read more…]

|Teasr was here.|The GOP Ticket: Bush and Fiorina
 |
You read it first here. The 2016 Republican ticket will be Jeb and Carly. No, the GOP establishment is not going to listen to its base. Not after Ted Cruz said they were all slaves to K-Street lobbyists.
Fox News just took out Trump and and pumped up Fiorina. She’s not part of the political establishment (though she once tried to be) but she is part of the corporate establishment and that’s who lobbies Congress. So no chance [Read more…]

|Teasr was here.|GOP Establishment Bulldozes Trumpers
 |
The GOP establishment has now picked its ticket. And Trump’s not on it. Not even close. You can thank Rupert Murdoch, the godfather of Fox and the Wall St. Journal. Not that Murdoch alone decided, but he put out the contract on Trump.
So dear Trumpers, you were right, the Republican establishment is not lettin’ you—or your kind—in. But I must say, you are pretty naive blaming it on Megyn Kelly. You think she sets Fox policy? Really? On July 12, Murdoch tweeted [Read more…]

|Teasr was here.|The Republican Debate and the Democrats
It was obvious. I predicted before the debate that the Rs would go after Hillary not Bernie. In the main debate it was 16 jabs at Hillary to zero at Bernie. No use attacking the guy you want to run against.
The surprise was that Carly Fiorina won both debates and then wiped the floor [Read more…]
