Climate alarmist acknowledges ‘RECORD STRENGTH’ El Nio

General

Michael E. Mann, climate scientist and author of “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines,” must be tired of hearing that the uncharacteristicweather that surprised much of the nation this holiday season wasn’t definitive proof of climate change but rather an effect ofEl Nio. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders might have been in a panic because “nobody can recall a Christmas Eve where the temperature was 65 degrees,” but Mann has a scientific explanation that handily fits inside a tweet. Now if someone […]

Wait until critics of #OscarsSoWhite catch Sanders’ new ad

General

Bernie Sanders has released a new feel-good campaign ad that makes the classic hand-in-hand Coca-Cola ads of the ’70s look downright cynical. Rather than buying the world a Coke (which should be free, by the way), Sanders employs “America” bySimon and Garfunkel to serve as the soundtrack to a countryof bucolic beauty, bustling small businesses, and lots and lots of hugs.
