Exasperated woman fed up with BLM and the media: ‘Spare me your white guilt and your black pride!’

by Sarah Taylor

Blogger, vlogger and former liberal Candice Owens trashed the Black Lives Matter movement, the KKK, the media, and left- and right-wing extremists in one four-minute video.

In a video titled, “I Don’t Care About Charlottesville, the KKK, or White Supremacy,” Owens addressed what she feels is the media’s role in creating a fake “race war.”

Why she’s angry

Owens said that she is furious that people began to pay attention to the KKK only after President Donald Trump became elected and asserted that the media are responsible for creating the narrative that the KKK re-emerged only after his election.

She noted that when former President Barack Obama was president, the KKK still existed, and they still met and rallied.

Though Owens said that racism doesn’t affect her daily life, she did say she’s angry about those who create divisions that aren’t actually there.

“I went to the gym this morning, a white girl signed me in and handed me a towel — no beef. I was trying to figure out this weight machine and a black trainer came over and helped me — no drama. I even went to the coffee shop thereafter and a Spanish girl made my latte with an extra shot,” Owens said. “All good in the hood, and it was a great day, so you’ll have to forgive me for not realizing that the figurative racial sky was burning and it was up to me to choose a side.”

Who she attacked

Owens’ disgust covered everything from the media to Black Lives Matter to the KKK to even the Charlottesville attack.

According to Owens, the media caused the racial division.

“It’s obviously the media’s fault – I mean the media is creating this entire narrative and it is crazy to me that people have not figured this out yet,” she said.

As for the KKK, Owens claimed she’s unafraid: “I mean there are what, 6,000 Klansmen left in our nation, and you want me to actually process that as a legitimate fear every day when I wake up?” she asked.

Earlier in the video, she said, “If you are a black person and you expressed some irrational fears this week over the rise of the Klansmen and neo-Nazis, let me invite you over for a cup of hot, steaming facts. Fact No. 1: approximately 93 percent of black homicide victims are killed by other black people.”

“Black Lives Matter protesters may want to consider extending their slogan to ‘Don’t shoot — because we’ve already got it covered.'”

About the Charlottesville tragedy, Owens said that she supported Trump’s commentsthat there were bad people on both sides of the fence and added that she “doesn’t care” about Charlottesville.

“I am not too disturbed by the events in Charlottesville, because that is what happens when two groups of losers that hate one another get together,” she said. “Nobody showed up looking to give hugs.”

Owens concluded, “Everybody involved in this fake racial war is a loser. So please, spare me the statuses, and your white guilt and your black pride because I really don’t care to see it.”

CNN’s Take On Antifa: Peace Through Violence (Update: CNN Scrubs Headline)

by JOHN SEXTON

CNN published an article based on interviews with members of Antifa. The headline notes, “Activists seek peace through violence.” 

That seems to suggest there’s a real problem with what Antifa is doing but the rest of the article comes across as sympathetic to the group, even to their violence:

Antifa activists often don’t hesitate to destroy property, which many see as the incarnation of unfair wealth distribution.

“Violence against windows — there’s no such thing as violence against windows,” a masked Antifa member in Union Square told CNN. “Windows don’t have — they’re not persons. And even when they are persons, the people we fight back against, they are evil. They are the living embodiment, they are the second coming of Hitler.”

[Scott] Crow explained the ideology this way: “Don’t confuse legality and morality. Laws are made of governments, not of men,” echoing the words of John Adams.

“Each of us breaks the law every day. It’s just that we make the conscious choice to do that,” he said.

CNN notes their Antifa source is “echoing” John Adams. Adams included the phrase “a government of laws and not of men” in the Massachusetts Constitution. His point was that no king or autocrat would determine what was legal or illegal. Instead, the government would operate based on laws which applied to everyone equally.

This is the opposite of what Antifa stands for. Scott Crow is literally saying his group breaks the law (assault, vandalism, etc.) when it determines people are “evil” and delivers extra-legal justice. That’s not at all how a government of laws operates. CNN’s source may be echoing John Adams but he clearly doesn’t understand what Adams was saying.

Antifa members also sometimes launch attacks against people who aren’t physically attacking them. The movement, Crow said, sees alt-right hate speech as violent, and for that, its activists have opted to meet violence with violence.

Right or wrong, “that’s for history to decide,” he said.

Now we’re arguing that violence is a reasonable response to “hate speech.” At least no one is trying to claim James Madison for support. As for the idea that history will decide, that’s another way Antifa is saying they don’t believe the actual law as it exists now applies to them. That’s why they wear masks and dress the same, so they can get away with it.

“People put on the masks so that we can all become anonymous, right? And then, therefore, we are able to move more freely and do what we need to do, whether it is illegal or not,” he said.

And that means avoiding police, whom many Antifa members see as an enemy, as well as skirting the scrutiny Antifa activists often get from alt-right trolls on the Internet. Black bloc, one member told us, also unites the movement.

“Even though it only takes one person to break a window, it doesn’t matter because the bloc moves together,” said a 26-year-old named Maura, who wouldn’t give her last name.

The left’s secret society of masked vandals is growing and they are seeking to normalize political violence. People who feel they can act above the law (so long as it’s for the right reason) are a danger to all of us. Responsible Americans should condemn Antifa rather than tolerate them.

Update: As I noted in my opening paragraph above, CNN’s headline seemed like the only part of the story that was really critical of Antifa. So perhaps you won’t be shocked to learn they’ve scrubbed that one bit of criticism:

I’m not 100% sure the headline was scrubbed because Antifa didn’t like it. The update about Antifa denying violence in Charlottesville was there yesterday before they scrubbed the headline. In any case, the group admits to employing violence in the body of the article, so why remove “violence” from the headline? CNN should explain.

Study: Earth cooler now than when Al Gore won Nobel Peace Prize for global warming work

by Chris Enloe

A new study shows that global temperatures are cooler today than they were when climate change alarmist Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 — and one top meteorologist is hammering Gore over the very inconvenient truth.

Respected meteorologist Joe Bastardi recently penned on op-ed hammering Gore for his awful climate predications made in his hit 2006 documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” while noting that today’s global temperatures are cooler than they were when Gore’s won the Nobel Peace Prize for his global warming work.

Bastardi’s study shows that while global temperatures were anomalously warm when Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize, they are less warm now and they were even less warm in the years between today and when Gore won the peace prize.

“Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize based on warnings of future events — the same future events that have not happened. The fact is that global temperatures from 2006-2007 while Gore was basking in the glory of his apocalypse-driven fame were warmer than they are now,” Bastardi wrote.

Bastardi, who used to work for AccuWeather and now works at a weather consulting firm, lamented over the fact that Gore won the peace prize for his awful predictions over a woman, Irena Sendler, who helped save thousands of Jewish Poles during World War II.

“Al Gore’s new movie reminded me of what a travesty it was for him to even accept the Nobel Prize over what” Sendler did, Bastardi said.

The op-ed comes as Gore’s follow up, “An Inconvenient Sequel” is currently in theaters.

Many of Gore’s most famous climate predictions have failed to come true, such as rising sea levels and the complete melting of ice in the Arctic.

Gore’s latest movie explores the predictions that he made a decade ago. It also dives into the Paris Agreement on climate change and what it means for the future of the globe in the eyes of climate change alarmists, while exploring the significance of President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the agreement.

An Inconvenient Review: After 10 Years Al Gore’s Film Is Still Alarmingly Inaccurate

Posted By Michael Bastasch On 9:36 PM 05/03/2016

It’s been nearly one decade since former Vice President Al Gore released his film “An Inconvenient Truth.” It sent shockwaves through American politics and emboldened environmental activists to push for more regulations on American businesses.

Gore warned increasing carbon dioxide emissions would spur catastrophic global warming that would cause more extreme weather, wipe out cities and cause ecological collapse. To stop global warming, humans needed to ditch fossil fuels and basically change every aspect of their lives.

Watching “An Inconvenient Truth” is sort of like going back in time. Back to a world where flip phones were cool and “Futurama” was still putting out new episodes. A world where a bitter presidential candidate was trying to rebrand himself as an environmental crusader.

But have Gore’s warnings, which were alarming to many in 2006, come true?

In honor of the upcoming 10th anniversary, The Daily Caller News Foundation re-watched “An Inconvenient Truth” just to see how well Gore’s warnings of future climate disaster lined up with reality.

Gore’s been harping on global warming since at least the late 1980s, but it wasn’t until 2006 he discovered a way to become massively wealthy off making movies about it and investing in government-subsidized green energy.

Gore opens the film talking about nature, then jumping to a presentation he’s giving where he shows the first image ever taken of the Earth from space. From that image, he jumps right into making alarmist claims about global warming.

Kilimanjaro Still Has Snow

One of the first glaring claims Gore makes is about Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. He claims Africa’s tallest peak will be snow-free “within the decade.” Gore shows slides of Kilimanjaro’s peak in the 1970s versus today to conclude the snow is disappearing.

Well, it’s been a decade and, yes, there’s still snow on Kilimanjaro year-round. It doesn’t take a scientist to figure this out. One can just look at recent photos posted on the travel website TripAdvisor.com.

In 2014, ecologists actually monitoring Kilimanjaro’s snowpack found it was not even close to being gone. It may have shrunk a little, but ecologists were confident it would be around for the foreseeable future.

“There are ongoing several studies, but preliminary findings show that the ice is nowhere near melting,” Imani Kikoti, an ecologist at Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, told eturbonews.com.

“Much as we agree that the snow has declined over centuries, but we are comfortable that its total melt will not happen in the near future,” he said.

Gore Left Out The 15-Year “Hiatus” In Warming

Gore also claims temperature rise from increases in man-made carbon dioxide emissions were “uninterrupted and intensifying.” He goes on to claim heatwaves will become more common, like the one that killed 35,000 people across Europe in 2003.

Sounds terrifying — until you actually look at what happened to global temperature after Gore’s film was released. Global temperatures showed little to no warming trend after Gore released his film. In fact, surface temperature data showed no significant global warming for a period of about 15 years, starting in the early 2000s.

Satellite-derived temperature data showed, until the recent El Niño, no statistically significant warming trend for more than 21 years.

Gore’s movie was released right in the middle of the so-called global warming “hiatus.”

The Weather Hasn’t Gotten Worse

Gore also famously predicted storms would become more frequent and intense as man-made emissions warmed the oceans.

“And of course when the oceans get warmer, that causes stronger storms,” Gore said in his film. “That same year that we had that string of big hurricanes, we also set an all-time record for tornadoes.”

Gore’s film came out just after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast. Indeed, footage of the destruction from that storm featured prominently in Gore’s film. He mentions how the U.S. was hit with a rash of severe storms in the early 2000s and how Japan saw a record number of typhoons.

“The insurance industry has actually noticed this,” Gore said. “Their recovered losses are going up.”

But Gore’s claim is more hype than actual science, since storms aren’t more extreme since 2006. In fact, not even findings from the United Nations’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) support Gore’s claim.

The IPCC found in 2013 there “is limited evidence of changes in extremes associated with other climate variables since the mid-20th century.” The IPCC also found “no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century” and “[n]o robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin.”

Gore should probably take these findings seriously since he shared the Nobel Prize in 2007 with the IPCC for its work on global warming.

The North Pole Still Has Ice

Gore also claimed the Arctic could be ice-free in the coming decades. He said “within the next 50 to 70 years, it could be completely gone.”

With no Arctic sea ice, polar bears and all sorts of Arctic animals would be threatened, Gore warned, showing an animated scene of a polar bear drowning.

This is actually one of Gore’s more cautious predictions — he did incorrectly predict in 2008 there would be no Arctic by 2013. But even in this case, Gore is likely wrong because of the Arctic’s geographical setting.

The Arctic is almost completely surrounded by land, so the ice that forms there tends to stay there. Arctic ice coverage has shrunk in recent decades, but it’s not likely we will see even a summer where the North Pole is completely ice-free.

“I doubt the Arctic will be free of all ice in any summer, although the total area may well be greatly reduced in the future if it continues to warm there,” said Chip Knappenberger, a climate scientist at the libertarian Cato Institute.

“Such a situation should not be overly worrisome, as there is ample evidence that it has occurred in the past and clearly, polar bears, and everything else up there managed to survive,” Knappenberger said.

And before I forget, the latest data shows polar bears are actually thriving, despite shrinking ice coverage.

A “Day After Tomorrow”-Style Ice Age Is Still A Day Away

Remember the 2004 blockbuster film “The Day After Tomorrow”? In the movie, the Gulf Stream, which scientists say is essential for regulating the climate, shuts down and ends up causing another ice age.

Well, Gore hints this could happen if Greenland’s ice sheet melts and brings more cold water into the North Atlantic.

“At the end of the last ice age, as the last glacier was receding from North America, the ice melted and a giant pool of fresh water formed,” Gore said. “An ice dam on the eastern border formed and one day it broke.”

[dcquiz] Gore said fresh, cold water bled out into the North Atlantic and caused the Gulf Stream to stall, which sent Europe into another ice age. Gore then suggests Greenland’s ice melt could pose a similar threat.

Australian scientists, however, totally debunked claims the Gulf Stream, or AMOC, was weakening.

“Claims of strengthening or reducing of the AMOC are therefore pure speculation,” Aussie scientists wrote in their paper published in March.
