About Climate Change, Your Change Sir

Paris, COP21 Climate Summit – One of the most dangerous men of the Twentieth Century has just died: and the weird thing is, hardly anyone noticed.
His name was Maurice Strong (picture above, on the right), Canadian billionaire, diplomat and UN apparatchik, and though you may not have heard of him, he probably did more to make your world a more expensive, inconvenient, overregulated, hectored, bullied, lied-to, sclerotic, undemocratic place than anyone post Hitler, Stalin and (his personal friend) Mao.

He’s the reason for example, that most of the world’s leaders, 40,000 delegates and their attendant carbon mega-footprint descended here on Paris yesterday in order to talk about magical fairy dust for two weeks and then charge you $1.5 trillion (that’s per year, by the way) for the privilege.

He’s the reason that “climate change” is now so heavily embedded within our system of global governance that it is now almost literally impossible for any politician or anyone else whose career depends on the state to admit that’s it not a problem and to argue that there are more important issues in the world, like maybe the terrorism that killed over 130 innocent people just the other week now, where was it?- oh yeah, here in Paris where for some bizarre reason all the delegates are talking about carbon emissions instead…

He was the father of the mother of all climate summits: the one in Rio in 1992 that spawned a million and one bastard offspring, like the one in Paris now.

He was the main instigator of the blueprint for arguably the most sinister and insidious assault on liberty and free markets: Agenda 21.

If you had met him – if you’d even noticed him – you would have probably quite liked him:

One of the most remarkable things about Strong was how unremarkable he was in person. Somebody once said that you wouldn’t pick him out of a crowd of two.

Nevertheless, he was an avuncular and likeable figure, even to those who disagreed strongly with his world view, as I did. I interviewed him numerous times over a 20-year period, and found that he took scarcely-concealed delight in explaining his often Machiavellian political manoeuvrings.

But as I argue in Watermelons – which gave a lot of space to Strong – it’s a big mistake to expect that supervillains will always have scars down the side of their face and fluffy white cat on their lap.

Strong’s true evil lay in the effects of his acts, not in his (claimed) good intentions.

Then again, the mask did occasionally slip.

In his 2000 autobiography Where Are We Going? he projected that by 2031 two thirds of the world’s population might have been wiped out. This, he chillingly described as:

“A glimmer of hope for the future of our species and its potential for regeneration.”

See: it’s perfectly OK to fantasize about the deaths of maybe 5 billion people – as long as you show at the end that you really care: you’re thinking about the future of humanity.

Strong sincerely believed all this Malthusian stuff and that was the problem. It became our problem because unfortunately – see that charm, above – he was such a skilled operator, with an endless appetite for labyrinthine bureaucracy and the will to embed it in the system.

The United Nations, which he joined early in 1947 as a lowly assistant pass officer in the Identification Unit of the Security Section in New York, was his perfect playground.

It was where, he quickly realized, he could achieve his dream of a world of global governance by a self-appointed elite. And the best way to go about this, he understood, was by manipulating and exploiting international concern about the environment.

Strong was never shy of admitting what he was about:

“Our concept of ballot box democracy may need to be modified to produce strong governments capable of making difficult decisions, particularly in terms of safeguarding the global environment.”

Or, as he put it when he’d wormed his way through the system to the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1991:

Current lifestyle and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning and surburban housing – are not sustainable. A shift is necessary which will require a vast strengthening of the multilateral system, including the United Nations.

This was the purpose of the Rio Earth Summit – and on the non-binding but secretly deadly agreement Strong managed to gull 179 sovereign nations into signing: Agenda 21.

If you don’t know about Agenda 21, you should. This final quote from Strong will give you an idea how illiberal and undemocratic it is – a blueprint for one-world government by an unelected bureaucracy of technocrats, enabled by diehard progressive activists.

The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental co-operation. It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation states, however powerful. The global community must be assured of global environmental security.

Now perhaps you understand why the people in the world most saddened by Maurice Strong’s death are currently all at Le Bourget on the outskirts of Paris at COP21, plotting the new world order.

“We thank Maurice Strong for his visionary impetus to our understanding of sustainability. We will miss you,” said Christina Figueres, the head of the UNFCC, which is in charge of the Paris conference.

The rest of us, once familiar with what Maurice Strong did, may not feel quite so teary-eyed.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum, they say. But I think we can make an exception for this particular totalitarian control freak.

What can Trump do? read it and cry, or read it and cheer



​I didn't vote for Trump because I thought he would make a good president, I voted for him because because I ​knew that Hillary would not.  I kept praying that God would put the right person in the White House...His person.  I told Him that I would honor, follow and pray for His choice.  After reading this article, I feel good about our new president elect and the choice I made at the polls.  I will continue to pray for him as he faces the most important decision he has ever made.

​ ​


What has Trump done??

Last night a friend claimed that Donald Trump wouldn’t make a good president; he is brash, he is racist, he is a loudmouth; you know the normal things people learn to recite after being programmed by television news.

The one I loved was that, “Trump is arrogant.”
My friend questioned if one man could make “that much difference in the world today.” To my friend's credit, she was respectful enough to let me respond when she asked, “Really, what has Trump done?”

I said, “In June of last year, Trump entered the race for president. In just a little over a year, Trump has single handedly defeated the Republican party.

He did so thoroughly. In fact, he did so in such a resounding way that the Republican Party now suffers from an identity crisis. He literally dismantled the party. Trump even dismantled and dismissed the brand and value of the Bush family.

Trump has Obama petrified that Trump will dismiss programs that weren’t properly installed using proper law.

Trump has single handedly debunked and disemboweled any value of news media as we knew it—news now suffering from an all-time level of distrust and disrespect.

Trump has leaders from all over the world talking about him, whether good or bad. Trust me, powerful men who have been president before weren’t liked by the global community. I doubt Mikhail Gorbachev liked Reagan when Reagan said, "Tear down that wall."

Trump has expressly disclosed the fraud perpetrated on the American public by Hillary Clinton. He has, quite literally, brought Hillary to her knees—if you believe that nervous tension and disorders offer physical side effects and damage.

Trump has unified the silent majority in a way that should be patently frightening to “liberals.” As the press accuses Trump of being a house of cards, Trump has proven the press is the real house of cards. He has whipped up the entire establishment into pure panic. Trump has exposed them for who they are and worse, what they are. George Clooney was right when he said Trump draws live news coverage of his podium that he’s not yet approached. Thanks, George, you were perfectly correct.

What we see as headline news today are actually the last bubbles from the ship that is now sunk—meaning the standard news media, as a propaganda machine, has been exposed. They have no more value.

In the same way Trump asked the African-American community this question, I asked you my friend, ”At this point, what do you have to lose?” We have mass cop shootings, riots in our streets, ambushed cops, double digit inflation, bombs blowing up in our cities, targeted police, a skyrocketing jobless rate, no economic growth, privately owned land being seized by the federal government, the worst racial tension in my lifetime, no God in schools, more abortions than ever, illegal aliens pouring into our country, sick veterans receiving no care, and a debt that doubled in seven years to $19 trillion. Are you really happy with the condition of the current system?

One man has done all of this in one year—one guy, and on his own dime. And with everything I’ve written above, you believe Trump hasn't done anything? You claim that you are afraid of Donald Trump? No wonder we’re in trouble.

You can say that Trump is a lousy presidential candidate. That’s your right. Just don’t ever say he’s not effective.

That Megan Kelly, FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, Rachel Maddow, the Huffington Post, the New York Times, Raleigh’s News and Observer, the AP, Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, and many more, failed to implement their collectively orchestrated lie on the American people against Trump, is actually a massive testament to Trump. The press colluded pure propaganda to accomplish his demise … and they have collectively failed and miserably.

Here's just one example of how badly America is injured right now. There are high school football players on their knees during the national anthem simply because the press used as propaganda to program those kids to do that very thing. But, these kids are mimicking NFL stars the same way the same kids choose which brand of football shoe to purchase—they're overtly brain-washed to do that very thing.

Now, we have a generation of children who hate America.

America’s problem isn’t that little children are on their knee in collective disrespect of America. Our problem is that America is on her knee from collective disrespect by Americans.

You can disrespect America all you want. But, it’s high-time you respect the silent majority. Because they’re not simply the “silent majority” as you’ve been trained to believe when Hillary calls them “deplorables.” The fact is, they are simply the majority. And now they're no longer silent either. Donald Trump changed all of that, single-handedly and within one year."

Elizabeth Trump &  Son.
   *   This business was built upon the real estate holdings that his
father, Frederich, had amassed (worth about $500,000.00 in today's dollars).
This is the original  "seed money" of the current Trump organization.
   *   Elizabeth &  Fred remained close business partners her entire life
(she died in 1966).
   *   In 1936 Fred Trump (age 31) married Mary Ann MacLeod (age 24) of

"excessive profits" from  government contracts.
   *   All (or nearly all) of the building of Elizabeth Trump &  Son's
non-government building was residential property in Queens.

generation.
Donald  Trump has reached the zenith in his careers as book author, TV

them, "The Art of the Deal" was a top seller.
   *   Donald says that the Holy Bible is his favorite book. "The Art of
the Deal" is his 2nd favorite book. And "The Power of Positive Thinking" by
Norman Vincent Peale is his third favorite  book.
   *   He likes golf.  Donald Trump has developed more than 11 golf
courses which bear his  name.

Alone 2", "Zoolander", and "Little Rascals".  
   *   Donald Trump  has been a guest actor in more than 6 TV shows such
as "Fresh Prince of  Bel Aire", "Days of Our Lives", "Sex and the City", and
others.
   *   Trump has been the executive producer of 7 TV shows.
   *   Trump has been the guest host of 5 TV shows such as Extra, Larry
King Live, SaturdayNight Live and more.
   *   Donald Trump  has been co-producer of the longest running reality
TV  show.
   *   Donald Trump  performed in several WWE wrestling shows.
   *   Donald performed in Wrestlemania 23 which set attendance records
and revenue records up til that time.  
   *   In his first candidacy for public office, Donald Trump received
the most popular votes for the President of the United States out of a field
of experienced and successful politicians. And in most cases, he achieved
this with less  money than any of his opponents.
Keeping in mind that 90% of start up businesses fail, Trump's record of
enterprise is  nothing short of amazing.  Trump has enjoyed success in at least 11 very different
enterprises:  Professional football, ice skating rinks, fragrance, ice, steaks, wines,
model management, airline, blenders, men's wear, bicycle races, world class
beauty contests, and many others. In some of these, such as model
management, his firm has risen to the top of that particular industry.
   *   There are 31 buildings that bear his name.
   *   The largest private real estate development in New York is Trump
        Riverside. Drive down the Henry Hudson Blvd. - you can't miss them.
   *   There are at  least 12 Trump Towers
   *   There are at  least 6 Trump Plazas.
   *   There are at  least 11 Trump Golf Course developments.  
   *   And much, much, more in real estate.
   *   Trump  Entertainment, Casinos and Resorts was recently sold to Carl
Ichan.
   *   Donald Trump's  personal managing of the Wollman Ice Skating Rink
project in the early  1980's is the quintessential case study for MBA
students in Wharton,  Harvard, and other business schools. His performance there
was  phenomenal.
   *   Donald Trump's  privately held businesses have employed more than
200,000  people.
   *   In the casino  business in Atlantic City, Trump had to do business
with known mobsters -  and he stayed "clean" and alive.
   *   Aside from his  personal investments, Donald Trump has never been a
Wall Street  "player".
The  Political Trump:
about  1967 - 1987 - Democrat (he was a supporter of Ronald  Reagan)
1987  - 1999 - Republican
1999  - 2001 - Reform Party (he supported Ross Perot)
2001  - 2009 - Democrat
2009  - 2011 - Republican
2011  - 2012 - Independent
2012  - Present - Republican
Donald  Trump was openly supportive of Mitt Romney's candidacy.
Donald  Trump does not seem to hold political party organizations in high regard.
For  the most part, his political involvement has been for practical reasons.
Donald  Trump does not appear to be held to political  ideology.
Some of my take aways:
   *   Trump has an  extraordinarily energetic central nervous system much
like Teddy Roosevelt but more targeted to industry and enterprise.
   *   Trump's  presidency will be very energetic, transparent, and
communicative.
   *   Trump will be a  very hard working President.
   *   His interaction  with his older brother (who everybody loved) tells
me that he thinks that  everybody is like him - or wants to be - or should be.
   *   His  relationship with his older brother was a hard lesson in
tolerance for him.
   *   Trump is the Babe Ruth of career achievements.  
   *   He is dumb like a fox. When you think he just said something
stupid - he didn't. It's just that you were not his target audience.
   *   Trump knows the people - the folk.
   *   His son, Donald Jr. is right. Trump is a "Blue Collar
Billionaire".
   *   More than anything, his TV show, The  Apprentice, was his passion.
He wants all Americans to have  confidence (like he does) to venture.
   *   Donald Trump is attracted to and marries smart, high achieving
women.
   *   The highest levels of a Trump Administration is certain to have
many women - and they will be bright and assertive.
   *   Donald Trump's children are very important to him. And it shows.
PS. And we know almost nothing about our current
president with 2 terms in office.

“When it comes to arrogance, power, and lack of accountability, journalists are probably the only people on the planet who make lawyers look good.”
Can you even begin to imagine what President-Elect Donald Trump now can do to make America great again?

He has the White House.

He has a clear mandate for his entire agenda because he explicitly articulated every one of his leadership priorities, even if he sometimes was incomplete on details.

He has 52 United States senators.

He may have lost Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, but next month's Louisiana Senate runoff will net him the 52nd Republican.

He also may find that West Virginia 's Joe Manchin switches parties in the next year, like a reverse Arlen Specter, because Barack Obama, the transformative president, has transformed West Virginia from a Democrat stronghold into one of the reddest states in America. Manchin may be figuring out that his political career is finished in two years if he runs as a Democrat against a pro-coal, pro-energy Trump.

Trump has the House of Representatives solidly.

He has approximately ten Democrat senators terrified because they come up for re-election in two years and are in GOP-friendly states. There's Joe Donnelly in Indiana, which just sent Evan Bayh back to lobbying in Washington. There's Claire McCaskill of Missouri, a state that just re-elected Roy Blunt and changed governors from Democrat to Republican. There's Jon Tester of Montana – it does not get redder than Montana. There's Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota; Sherrod Brown of Ohio, which just gave Rob Portman a twenty-plus-point mandate; and Joe Manchin. Others like Bill Nelson in Florida and Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin are vulnerable. These senators will be running scared these next two years. (Expect to see much too much of McCaskill on Fox News.)

With the Supreme Court knotted at 4-4, Trump has an immediate vacancy to fill, the seat previously held by the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Meanwhile, Justices Ruth Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, and Stephen Breyer all are in their sunset season.

One must assume that * IRS commissioner John Koskinen will be deducted from the Internal Revenue Service. That would open the door for the IRS to investigate the * Clinton Foundation in the same way that the New York attorney general investigates Trump operations.

Trump also can launch an investigation into what exactly * Lois Lerner did and whether others aided and abetted her. In addition, Trump now can make critical changes to the Tax Code – and that always was Paul Ryan's dream.

With all the tools of government at his back, a Pres. Trump now can * CANCEL all the Obama executive orders as fast as counting "1-2-3."

For the Democrats, it is an inconvenient truth that all the Obama climate agreements and trade agreements and Iran deals that he chose not to present to the Congress as treaties for ratification, but rather enshrined as personal executive orders, now can be neutralized by the incoming executive.

Trump now can secure the border, can build a big beautiful wall with a big door.

He can repeal Obamacare.

* Suddenly, men no longer will have to pay for themselves to be covered for pregnancy conditions.

* We no longer will have to pay for Sandra Fluke's birth control.

* Employers will not have to limit full-time employees to 29-hour employment.

* Doctors will stop retiring from practice.

* People with coverage will have reasonable insurance deductibles, and their premiums will stop rising forty percent a year.

* It will be possible to buy better, cheaper insurance coverage offered in other states.

* A President Trump, with a Republican Congress, now can cut off funding to sanctuary cities.

* He can drain the swamp that festers in the Eric Holder-Loretta Lynch Justice Department.

* He can relieve FBI director James Comey from getting embroiled in political investigations by allowing for the appointment of special investigators to find out what happened in this country during the past eight years of corruption.

* He can keep Gitmo open.

* He can move America's Israel embassy to that country's capital city, Jerusalem. All embassies belong in capital cities. Congress already has passed the enabling legislation. All he has to do is just do it.

* He can ask Rick Perry for the names of those three federal agencies to close down. As a start, he not only can deal with Common Core, but can begin the process of permanently closing down the entire federal Department of Education and returning that role to the states.

* He can send Loretta Lynch home, even arranging for her to catch a flight on an Arizona tarmac, and she can discuss grandchildren and golfing with the TSA as she goes through security.

How do these sound:

   * Attorney General Chris Christie? *Secretary of Homeland Security Rudy Giuliani? * Secretary of State John Bolton? * Secretary of Defense Jeff Sessions? * Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Flynn? White House Communications Director Kellyanne Conway? * Gotta give Newt something. Also Reince Priebus, who ultimately stood with him during difficult times. And Dr. Ben Carson. Maybe make Newt the ambassador to the United Nations. He deserves it, the U.N. deserves it, and Megyn Kelly deserves it.

As a cautionary, Trump may enter office with one huge headache. If the Fed finally starts to allow interest rates to rise according to market forces, as it soon must, the impact on the $19-trillion debt will be devastating and will force major budget decisions. So that will be tough and could ruin some of his infrastructure and other spending plans. However, it also will chasten Republicans to avoid building bridges to nowhere. This time, the GOP had better get it right.

There is reason to be deeply hopeful that, with the election concluded, the rhetoric on all sides will soften, the intensity of feelings will diminish, and many people will give the new president a few weeks' "honeymoon" to see what he can do. He began beautifully with the acceptance speech he made, praising Hillary for her lifetime of service and congratulating her and her team for the contest they made. He did not mean a word of it, nor did he have to. It was a touch of class.

His proven instincts and experience as a lifetime deal-maker hopefully will lead him to find ways to work productively with Congress and to avoid unnecessary bipartisan animus now that he has won his prize. Naturally, a President Trump will advance agenda item steps that inevitably will cause disagreements. If he reverses executive orders, upends the * Iran Deal, * repeals Obamacare, etc., he will face opposition- There is no avoiding that!

Nevertheless, a President Trump with a supportive Congress and judiciary potentially may do a great job. The public exposures of his seamier past hopefully have humbled him. He surely does not want to have that side of his past revived and made his legacy. He surely does not want to lose this wife or to lose the respect of his beautiful children any further. With Trump. there are bound to be painful lapses because, at age 70, he is what he is – but he also will start focusing, soon enough, on building a record that can get him re-elected. That swamp cannot be drained in less than a decade. Hopefully he also will use a serious portion of the four years to extend serious outreach efforts to black Americans and Latinos, to women, and to other groups who have been used and manipulated by Democrats, Hollywood , the mainstream media, and the left for half a century.

Non-Caucasians will come to see that the media lied about him, that he is not that racist misogynist that the racists and misogynists in the Democratic Party and the media painted him as being. And hopefully he will be a president who avoids getting enmeshed in every local imbroglio, from Trayvon Martin to an arrest of a man thought to be breaking into a home.

There is reason to hope that so much of Donald Trump's nonsense this past year – Little Marco, Lyin' Ted, Low Energy Jeb! – was part of his Brooklyn-street-smart strategy for getting to the front of the pack. Now that he is there, he has time to realize that he no longer has to street-fight. He now has the prize. He will be surrounded by teams of intelligent people who will offer him guidance. There is reason to hope that, barring unexpected world crises, he will surprise many people by governing wisely and sensibly. And if crises arise, he may prove exactly the commander in chief needed.

PS. And we know almost nothing about our current
president with 2 terms in office. We still have no certain truth about his patriotism, who he favors, not even if he is an American. He has numerous Social security numbers, birth certificates, and professes to come down on the side of Islam in a conflict, etc. the stuff we do know about him is vague and uncertain, rather nebulous.
