DEAR DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS.......YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED

Dear Friends,

I do not know who wrote this but it is so so good I felt it needed to be widely distributed.


Dear Democrats and Liberals,
I'm noticing that a lot of you aren't graciously accepting the fact that your candidate lost. In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those of us who voted for Trump.
Some of you are apparently "triggered". Because you are posting how "sick"
you feel about the results.
How did this happen you ask?
You created "us" when you attacked our freedom of speech.
You created "us" when you attacked our right to bear arms.
You created "us" when you attacked our Christian beliefs.
You created "us" when you constantly referred to us as racists.
You created "us" when you constantly called us xenophobic.
You created "us" when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.
You created "us" when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.
You created "us" when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.
You created "us" when you attacked our flag.
You created "us" when you confused women's rights with feminism.
You created "us" when you began to emasculated men.
You created "us" when you decided to make our children soft.
You created "us" when you decided to vote for "progressive" ideals.
You created "us" when you attacked our way of life.
You created "us" when you decided to let our government get out of control.
"You" created "us" the silent majority.
And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.
And we did it with ballots, not bullets.
That is why we had an election and America spoke clear and loud that they were fed up with the way our country was going. We voted!!
The American people are tired of people who don't work being rewarded while people who do work are being punished. We voted!!
The American people are tired of activists judges making new laws without the approval of we the people. We voted!!
The American people are tired of foreigners being treated like first class citizens while our veterans needs are put on the back burner. We voted!!
The American people are tired of our enemies disrespecting us. We voted!!
The American people are tired of our policemen and other law enforcement people being disrespected. We voted!!
The American people are tired of our flag being disrespected. We voted!!
The American people are tired of our borders not being protected. We voted!!
The American people are tired of our jobs being sent overseas. We voted!!
The American people are tired of those who want to kick God out of America.
We voted.
The American people are tired of our strong ally in the Middle East, Israel being disrespected. We voted!!
For 8 long years millions of Americans had a president that did not represent our beliefs. We did not go wild in the streets, burn down businesses, or shoot at police officers.   WE VOTED!!

THE POWER OF PRAYER

What an interesting turn of events in Pahrump, Nevada...
The Diamond D's Brothel began construction on an expansion of their building to increase their ever-growing business.
In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to block the business from expanding -- with morning, afternoon, and evening prayer sessions at their church.
Work on Diamond D's progressed right up until the week before the grand re-opening when lightning struck the whorehouse and burned it to the ground!
After the brothel burned to the ground by the lightning strike, the church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about "the power of prayer."
But late last week 'Big Jugs' Jill Diamond, the owner/madam, sued the church, the preacher and the entire congregation on the grounds that the church "was ultimately responsible for the demise of her building and her business -- either through direct or indirect divine actions or means."
In its reply to the court, the church vehemently and vociferously denied any and all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise.
The crusty old judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented, "I don't know how the hell I'm going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, that we now have a whorehouse owner who staunchly believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that thinks it's all bullshit."

SENIOR CARES

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a check-up, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember ..

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks. 

'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
 

'Sure.'
 

'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
 

'No, I can remember it.'
 

'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?'
 

He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'
 

'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.
 

Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
 

Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.

'Where's my toast?'
===============================
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. 
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.' 
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?' 
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What’s the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has thorns.' 
'Do you mean a rose?'
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'
 

===============================
Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. 
On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

===============================

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: 
'So I hear you're getting married?' 
'Yep!' 
'Do I know her?' 
'Nope!' 
'This woman, is she good looking?' 
'Not really.' 
'Is she a good cook?' 
'Naw, she can't cook too well.' 
'Does she have lots of money?' 
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.' 
'Well, then, is she good in bed?' 
'I don't know.' 
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'
'Because she can still drive!' 

===============================
A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.' 
'Really,' answered the neighbor. 'What kind is it?' 
'Twelve thirty.' 

===============================
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. 
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. 
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?' 
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'
 

===============================
One more. . .! 
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlour and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool... After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?' 
'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

===============================

Now, before you 'forget ', share this with some other folks you know who could use a good laugh!!

A US MARINE'S MESSAGE FOR THE NFL


NFL protesting the flag - POWERFUL!!

 
                                   
Ret. Marine Col. Jeffery Powers wrote to the NFL commissioners the following:

 
Commissioners,
I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and the Giants Stadium.

 
I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt. Garrett Mongrella, was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it.

 
Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins.

 
Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country beside playing with a ball and believing they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers were!

 
You are complicit in this! You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an  immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner.

 
                           

 
What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly?

 
I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National  Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone?

 
Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game!

 
You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not.

 
Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles.
They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms.

 
Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.

 
I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you!

 
Time to change the channel.

 
Powers originally sent his letter to former Florida congressman Allen West. West then posted the letter to his news website.

 
As of last week, at least 18 NFL player had protested the anthem by either kneeling during the anthem or raising their fists, according to USA Today Sports.

 
    If you agree with what he said please pass this on.


FB DISCUSSION ON CLIMATE CHANGE ARTICLE




ARTICLE


MartiK Just because scientists can't prove something doesn't mean there's no validity in it. It just means you can't set up a controlled experiment that shows cause and effect. Scientists can't prove that smoking causes cancer but I think we all agree there's a definite relationship. Global warming is occurring. The question is how much of it is caused by human activity and what we could actually do about it other than wipe out half of the world's population.

GeorgetteP One of the most foolish articles I have read lately
Yesterday at 4:51am

JohnH When scientists can't prove something it's known as a theory and subject to debate and discussion. In this case we have so-called scientists, who have been caught conspiring to cook the data, insisting that their theory is beyond discussion and attempting, with the help of the media, to ostracize anyone who expresses doubt about their theory. The bottom line is, if they had enough valid data with which to argue in support of their theory, they wouldn't need to silence anyone who questioned their theory. Liberals corrupt science just as they corrupt everything else. This is fake science being promulgated with the help of fake news.

JohnH BTW... there's a reason why they had to start calling their theory "Climate Change" instead of "Global Warming."
3 · Yesterday at 8:11am

JoeM Do a little research on your source's sources. Allen B. West is definitely not beyond mis-representing scientific studies.


In a Forbes op-ed, James Taylor takes a study that prominently reveals the anti-science influence of oil and gas companies, and spins it to suggest that serious, substantive disagreement exists among relevant scientists on climate change. This could not be further from the truth, as evidenced by the very study he cites, as well as numerous other studies that have surveyed climate scientists.

JAMES TAYLOR MISINTERPRETS STUDY BY 180 DEGREES


In a Forbes op-ed, James Taylor takes a study that prominently reveals the anti-science influence of oil and gas companies, and spins it to suggest that serious, substantive disagreement exists among relevant scientists on climate change. This could not be further from the truth, as evidenced by the very study he cites, as well as numerous other studies that have surveyed climate scientists.


The claim:


Taylor references a new study that surveyed Canadian engineers and geoscientists in the province of Alberta. He attaches the headline, “Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority of Scientists Skeptical of Global Warming Crisis.” The study divides respondents into 5 groups, and Taylor highlights the fact that only 36% of scientists fell into the category most supportive of climate action. He concludes, “…it is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.”


The context:


– The study Taylor references polled members of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA). Membership in APEGA is a prerequisite to a job with an oil, gas, or mining company, and these jobs dominate its online job board. Alberta, home to the tar sands boom, is Canada’s most oil-rich province, and the petroleum industry is Alberta’s largest employer of engineers and geoscientists.


– The study authors used the APEGA survey as a way to see how extractive industry positions influence scientific views and justifications. They found that people employed by oil and gas companies were much more likely to oppose mainstream climate science. Additionally, the more highly placed in the company, the more vehement the opposition.


– 84% of the respondents to the survey were engineers. This designation includes many subspecialties that have nothing to do with climate, for example electrical engineers and pipeline corrosion specialists.


– Taylor’s focus on the most concerned category of scientists and engineers is misleading. Another 5% of respondents supported moderate action, and an additional 17% believed that humans were influencing the climate, although they were not sure if action was needed. This means that even among a group made up primarily of oil and gas industry engineers, 58% believed that humans are influencing the climate.


Additional studies:


– A recent literature review found that out of 13,950 peer-reviewed climate science studies since 1991, only 24 reject human-caused global warming.


– A peer-reviewed survey of 1,372 actively publishing climate researchers found that 97% of them uphold the existence of human-caused global warming.


– Another peer-reviewed survey of 10,257 earth scientists from a variety of disciplines also found 97% agreement among actively publishing climate scientists, and almost 90% agreement among all actively publishing earth scientists that humans are causing global warming.


Climate Nexus Lesfrund-Meyer graph


Conclusion:


The APEGA survey is noteworthy for its exposure of the disparity between the views of engineers and geoscientists employed by petroleum companies, vs. the rest of the community of actively publishing climate and earth scientists. Denialism increased still further among the top-level oil and gas engineers. Although the cause behind this trend is unclear, it shows at the very least a correlation between ties to oil and gas and climate denial views. In no way does it undermine the strong agreement among publishing scientists that human-caused global warming is real and a problem.

Also see Heartland Institute’s James Taylor falsely claims a new study rejects climate consensus [Updated], by Bryan Angliss at Scholars and Rogues, which leads with:


James Taylor, managing editor of The Heartland Institute’s Environment & Climate News, recently wrote a Forbes blog post about a new study of professional engineers and geoscientists involved in Alberta, Canada’s petroleum industry. According to the authors of the study, however, Taylor got most of the details in his post wrong, and Taylor has not corrected or retracted the blog post even though his errors have been pointed out to him. Furthermore, Taylor republished his deceptive and dishonest post at The Heartland Institute this morning, three days after the study’s authors corrected Taylor. Taylor has a made a habit of distorting scientific studies in the past – his new blog post is no different. …

JohnB Interesting, Joe, could you expound on that a bit?
2 hrs

JoeM Well, seems pretty obvious to me. If you survey with a fairly small sample, with most of them employed in the oil and gas industry, you will likely get skewed results. But in addition to that, the article doesn't even reflect the true results of the survey. Even with the loaded sample, 58% believed human activity affects climate. That hardly justifies West's title that climate change is finally debunked. Sorry if you didn't have time to read it.

JohnH Doesn't negate the fact that their email servers were hacked several years ago and dozens of global warming scientists at Universities on both sides of the Atlantic were caught redhanded conspiring on how to correct the fact that their data disproved their whole theory. It's BS.

JoeM Doesn't negate the fact that every civilized country has bought into the science. Just a few pockets of denial.

JohnH Real scientists with solid findings don't argue their theories by pretending that their arguments are beyond dispute and claiming validity based upon how many supposedly agree with them. BS can be pretty powerful and people tend to fall for it at an alarming rate. Hell, look how many people voted for Hillary. Look how many peope fell for the fake science churned out by pollsters to convince people she was invincible. Just because lots of people fall for BS doesn't change the fact that it's BS.

JoeM Real scientists don't take all their samples from employee's of the oil and gas industry, especially when their livelihood could be affected by their opinion.

JohnH No, apparently they fake it all when they discover that their data's been wrong since 1989 LOL. That's what's known as BS ;)

JohnH Livelihood is an interesting aspect and I'm glad you brought it up. Many of your so-called "civilized" countries who buy into this manmade climate BS stand to make a lot of money by convincing Western Europe and North America to shoot themselves in the foot in energy development. Did I mention that hacked emails show a certain oil and gas producing country funding anti-fracking protests and global warming propaganda in the U.S. to cripple us as their competitor?
