Climate Alarmists Struggle With War on Cow Farts

/1 Comment/in , /by

Environmentalists intent on finding new ways to reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions to curb climate change have proposed a novel method: feed cows seaweed to diminish methane in flatulence, belches, and manure.

Ermias Kebreab, an zoology professor at the University of California–Davis, led a team in producing a bovine meal regimen containing varying levels of Asparagopsis armata, a strain of red seaweed, and fed it to 12 dairy cows over a two-month period. In a mix containing just 1 percent seaweed, the cows’ methane emissions went down by a stunning 60 percent. . .

A 2012 United Nations report revealed that the earth’s cattle population produces more carbon dioxide than automobiles, planes, and all other forms of transport combined. Moreover, the cow pies they drop and the wind they break produce a third of the world’s methane emissions, which traps 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide.

In the summer of 2016, EcoWatch published an article confirming that greenhouse gas emissions from livestock actually account for a higher percentage of total global emissions than the world’s 1.2 billion automobiles.

Kebreab’s cow experiment sought to replicate results from researchers at Australia’s James Cook University, who mixed bacteria from cows’ digestive systems with red seaweed and discovered a significant decrease in methane production. Their experiment suggested that tweaking a cow’s diet to include 2 percent seaweed could reduce its methane emissions by as much as 99 percent.

Couple Adopts After Pro-Life Photo Went Viral

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Virginia couple who went viral earlier this year with their pro-life plea to pregnant women has had their dreams answered.

Blake and Sarah Thomas, of Radford, posted a photo on Facebook about nine months ago pleading expectant mothers to not have an abortion. . .

They had posted the image in response to the passing of a New York bill on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade that legalizes abortion up to birth in many cases. . .

Soon after the post went viral, the Thomas’ agreed to adopt a child, but that fell through. To their surprise and joy, the mother decided to keep and parent the baby.

“We recently felt God burdening our hearts for older orphans, specifically boys who statistically are the least likely to be adopted,” Sarah Tomas said. “We’re so excited to meet him and we’re amazed by how God has already filled our hearts with love for this boy on the other side of the world that we’ve never met.” (Read more from “Couple Adopts After Pro-Life Photo Went Viral” HERE)

Gay 2020 Candidate Says Americans Should Be Forced to Fund Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana introduced an action plan for women as he campaigns for the Democrat nomination for president. Sadly, that action plans assumes women can only be empowered by helping them kill their children and forcing Americans to fund abortions.

His proposal to secure “power for women in the 21st century” is centered on a repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which protects Americans from directly funding abortions via their tax dollars.

“Progress for women has come despite systemic sexism and racism, and persistent gender bias,” Mr. Buttigieg said. “And now, with women’s rights under assault, we can’t wait any longer to ensure women have the power they deserve.”

But Buttigieg thinks the way to empower women is by having them kill their children with taxpayer funded abortions.

His new abortion plan comes on the heels of saying he thinks the death penalty is a bad thing for terrorists but fine for unborn babies. (Read more from “Gay 2020 Candidate Says Americans Should Be Forced to Fund Abortions” HERE)

Transgender Male Allegedly Sets Woman on Fire at Taco Bell

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Tallahassee [man] may have gone on an arson spree Wednesday and Thursday, starting at a Taco Bell where a woman was set on fire, cops say.

On Wednesday, Mia Williams, a 32-year-old who was born male but identifies as female, walked into a Taco Bell, doused a woman with gasoline and then set her on fire, Tallahassee police said.

Williams ran away and the victim was taken to a hospital by helicopter with serious injuries. As of Friday, the victim was still being treated, police said. . .

At around 6:40 a.m., a Tallahassee fire truck spotted Williams on a bike and began following [him]. When an officer arrived, he tried to stop Williams by using a Taser on [him] twice, but both shots weren’t effective, police said. . .

[He] wasn’t done trying to get away. The officer said that Williams jumped on top of the car roof, pulled out a pair of orange scissors and then raised them up “as if to potentially stab me.”

Police eventually arrested Williams and found a cigarette lighter in her pocket. (Read more from “Transgender Male Allegedly Sets Woman on Fire at Taco Bell” HERE)

Texas Father Who Fought to Protect Son From Forced Gender Transition Is Under ‘Clearly Unconstitutional’ Order

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jeffrey Younger received a massive victory on Thursday when a judge reversed a jury’s decision giving his ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, sole custody of their sons, James and Jude. Younger contends that Georgulas is forcing a gender transition onto James.

In the ruling, Judge Kim Cooks granted the parents joint custody of the children. She also hit both parents with a gag order, meaning neither will be able to speak about the case publicly.

According to legal experts, the gag order against Younger is “clearly unconstitutional.”

“This is an outrageous decision by the court that clearly is unconstitutional under the First Amendment. It is obvious with the court order that the judge has made some serious mistakes because this is fairly straightforward that you can’t gag a father from talking about his son to the media,” Mat Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel, told LifeSiteNews. . .

“The issuance of a gag order is clearly an overreaction in this case particularly since this case was going to be decided by a judge and not a jury, but it is also an indication that Jeff Younger realized he had to do everything he could to get his message out [because] up until this point the system had not worked the way it should,” Saenz said.

Georgulas’ attorneys reportedly told the court that Younger’s media interaction put the children at risk. However, Younger said that he only spoke to certain media outlets and that he did not initiate contact with reporters.

California Declares State of Emergency

/0 Comments/in , /by

California has declared a state of emergency, the Associated Press reports, as wildfires and hurricane force winds ravage areas of the state, leaving millions without power.

Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statement Sunday in an attempt to reassure Californians — particularly those in the Bay Area and in Sonoma County where the fires threaten major agriculture and industry — that the state was deploying “every resource available” to battle the blazes.

The wildfires, blazing in Sonoma County and near San Francisco, and further south near Santa Clarita, had already driven more than 50,000 people from their homes by Saturday night when experts predicted a “catastrophic wind event” with hurricane-force gusts. By Sunday, 180,000 people had been told to flee to safer ground and winds up to 80 miles per hour blew across Napa Valley vineyards, causing the fires to take on an “erratic” burn pattern. . .

Before the winds arrived, the Kincade Fire, which began Wednesday night, was only 10% contained, and had already burned 47 square miles, destroying nearly 80 structures, according to the Associated Press. Nine people have been reported injured so far, victims of a tree that came crashing down on a farmer’s market near San Francisco, but the casualties are by no means fully counted. The last fire, that swept through largely the same area in 2017, killed 24 people. (Read more from “California Declares State of Emergency” HERE)

WaPo Faces Backlash Over Vile, Sympathetic Obituary for ISIS Leader Al-Baghdadi

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following the announcement of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s death, the Washington Post published an article in their obituary section, detailing his life and how he died. What’s disgusting is the obituary reads like we should be celebrating his life, as if he brought good to the world.

From the obituary (emphasis mine):

When Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi took the reins of the Islamic State of Iraq in 2010, few had heard of the organization or its new leader, an austere religious scholar with wire-frame glasses and no known aptitude for fighting and killing.

But just four years later, Mr. Baghdadi had helped transform his failing movement into one of the most notorious and successful terrorist groups of modern times. Under his guidance it would burst into the public consciousness as the Islamic State, an organization that would seize control of entire cities in Iraq and Syria and become a byword for shocking brutality.

…

The man at the helm of the Islamic State was a shadowy presence, appearing in public only a handful of times and rarely allowing his own voice to be heard, even as the caliphate was beaten back and finally destroyed. During his tenure, the Islamic State would come to mirror its leader: a messianic figure drawn to the harshest interpretations of Islamic texts and seized with the conviction that all dissenters should be put to death.

Parents of ISIS Hostage Relieved by Terrorist Leader’s Death, Slam Obama

/2 Comments/in , /by

By USA Today. Terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who the president said was killed during a special forces raid in Syria, had reportedly been the captor and tormentor of Arizona’s Kayla Mueller, who was taken hostage in 2013.

“What this man did to Kayla — he kidnapped her,” her father Carl Mueller, his voice choking, told The Arizona Republic on Sunday morning, shortly after President Donald Trump announced al-Baghdadi had died. . .

On Sunday, the Muellers praised President Donald Trump and the soldiers who pulled off the mission.

“We are so grateful for them … we are so grateful,” Marsha Mueller said. They were glad there was no loss of life on our side. They are grateful their daughter and the others who were tortured and killed by ISIS have not been forgotten.

“I still say Kayla should be here, and if Obama had been as decisive as President Trump, maybe she would have been,” Marsha Mueller said. (Read more from “Parents of ISIS Hostage Relieved by Terrorist Leader’s Death, Slam Obama” HERE)

Trump Goes off on Campaign Spying, Accuses Obama of TREASON

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. The Obama White House, President Trump allegedly told author Doug Wead, was engaged in a “treasonous” act when it was “spying on my campaign.”

“What they did was treasonous, OK? It was treasonous,” Trump told Wead in comments reported by the Washington Examiner and included in Wead’s upcoming book, “Inside Trump’s White House: The Real Story of His Presidency.”

“The interesting thing out of all of this is that we caught them spying on the election,” said Trump. “They were spying on my campaign. So you know? What is that all about? I have never ever said this, but truth is, they got caught spying. They were spying. Obama.”

Trump’s accusation echoes the language of Attorney General William Barr, who famously described the Obama administration’s surveillance of Trump associates as “spying” before slightly walking back the claim.

“I think spying did occur,” Barr told congressional investigators in testimony in April. “But the question is whether it was predicated — adequately predicated. I’m not suggesting it wasn’t adequately predicated, but I need to explore that. I think it’s my obligation. Congress is usually very concerned about intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies staying in their proper lane.” (Read more from “Trump Goes off on Campaign Spying: Obama’s ‘Treasonous’ Acts Against Me Even Worse Than We Thought” HERE)

Donald Trump accuses Barack Obama of TREASON over 2016 campaign ‘spying’ as feds run ‘criminal investigation’ into origins of Russia probe

By Daily Mail. . .The Justice Department hasn’t said what crimes are being investigated or who its targets are. But calling the matter a ‘criminal’ probe instead of an internal administrative inquiry allows prosecutors to convene a grand jury and subpoena witnesses.

Among the witnesses who could face subpoenas are former FBI director James Comey and former CIA head John Brennan.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller presided over a 22-month probe that netted no significant prosecutions related to unsubstantiated claims that the Trump campaign colluded with Russian agents to tilt the 2016 contest in the president’s direction.

Attorney General Bill Bar and Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham recently traveled to Europe and gathered evidence about intelligence activities that led to the Mueller operation, according to a DOJ official.

Trump believes people inside what would become his administration worked quietly to hamstring him as he fought Hillary Clinton for the White House.

New Poll: Here’s How Many Voters Want Trump Impeached

/0 Comments/in , /by

The number of registered voters who oppose the impeachment and removal of U.S. President Donald Trump, at 49 percent, is the same as those who are in favor, the results of a new NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll published on Friday show.

“Americans are evenly divided on whether President Donald Trump should be impeached,” NBC News pointed out, adding:

Voters are sharply divided along party lines. Nine in 10 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are against impeachment and 89 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaners are in favor of impeachment. Independents who don’t lean toward either party are more split with a 53 percent majority saying Trump should be impeached and 44 percent saying he should not.

NBC News acknowledged the importance of keeping tabs on outliers, noting that the poll showed one in ten Democrats thinks Congress should not impeach Trump, and nearly the same number (nine percent) of Republicans believes he should be.

Nearly half of Democrats who believe Congress should not impeach and remove Trump and Republicans who do identify as moderate. (Read more from “New Poll: Here’s How Many Voters Want Trump Impeached” HERE)
