Picture President Donald Trump making his way waist-high through a vile and treacherous swamp, Home Office of the Deep State. Is that a tree stump up ahead, or a camouflaged crocodile lying in wait?
A new report by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) advises that warming needs to be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid catastrophic climate change.

BELLEVUE, WA – While their extremist gun control campaign is being largely funded by less than a dozen wealthy elitists, proponents of Initiative 1639 are feigning desperation in an effort to raise small donations to create the appearance of a populist movement, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
In 1973 OPEC countries imposed an oil embargo to retaliate for US support of Israel during the Yom Kippur War. Drivers endured soaring gasoline prices, blocks-long lines, hours wasted waiting to refuel vehicles, and restrictions on which days they could buy fuel. America was vulnerable to those blackmail sanctions because we imported "too much" oil--though it was just 30% of our crude.
John Ioannidis first burst onto the national scene in 2005 with a groundbreaking paper titled “Why Most Published Research Findings Are False.” 1 His statistical analysis and logic are impeccable, and his paper has never been seriously refuted. Furthermore, he has had a tremendous impact: the paper has been viewed more than 2.5 million times.2
From the get-go Cesar Alteiri Sayoc, suspected source of the faux bombs mostly not delivered to Democrat brass but intercepted by authorities, was served up to the masses by mainstream and social media as the “MAGA bomber”, his van even featured on the Drudge Report, as the “TrumpMobile”.
Less than two weeks before the vitally important mid-term elections a zealous Trump fanatic mails faux bombs to various Democratic shills for violence against Republicans – gee what a coincidence right?
As I write this article there are thousands of people walking, riding part way, determined to enter the United States, legally or otherwise to join the 20+ million other illegal immigrants already in the country.

In the 1972 children's book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, everything goes wrong for poor Alexander. He wakes up with his chewing gum in his hair, gets stuck in the middle seat of the carpool, loses his-best-friend status during recess, his mom forgot to give him dessert in his lunchbox, and it just gets worse.
Back in 1986, Prince Charles caused a consternation. "I just come and talk to the plants, really very important . . . They respond I find," His Royal Highness revealed during a television interview. But floral confabulation is nothing new.
"The booming U.S. economy appears to be reducing dependence on federal health insurance for the poor," Berkeley Lovelace Jr. reports for CNBC. Medicaid enrollment has fallen for the first time since 2007, and "states largely attribute the enrollment slowdown to a strengthening economy, resulting in fewer new low-income people qualifying for Medicaid," he adds.--Click here to read more.
In a previous IER post, I explained the enormous disconnect between the work of newly-anointed Nobel laureate William Nordhaus, and the United Nations' new "special report" calling for drastic government measures to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Specifically, Nordhaus' "DICE" model--which was chosen by the Obama Administration as a state-of-the-art pioneer in the field--showed that doing nothing at all was a better policy than what the U.N. is currently demanding.
The Democratic playbook is not playing well in Peoria these days. We the People are hip to the Left’s tactics to an astonishing degree. When we are called racists we yawn, when we are called xenophobes we shrug, and when we are called deplorable virulent dregs of society we turn away in scorn.
