The Paris Climate Agreement Won’t Change the Climate

The Paris Climate Agreement will cost at least $1 trillion per year, and climate activists say it will save the planet. The truth? It won’t do anything for the planet, but it will make everyone poorer–except politicians and environmentalists. Bjorn Lomborg explains.

The real cost of Obamacare

President Obama’s own administration estimated that Obamacare would increase premiums, yet the man whose name is most closely associated with the legislation REPEATEDLY told us all NOT TO WORRY, because premiums would go DOWN.

And it’s not just premiums.

A recent analysis of Obamacare’s impact on our economy shows that all of the many, many new regulations have added 172 million hours in extra paperwork and caused a 26% increase in the real cost to employers for mandated health coverage.

These increases hit small businesses (20-99 workers) the hardest.  Across the country, 295,030 small business JOBS DISAPPEARED and 10,130 small business ESTABLISHMENTS CLOSED.

MASCOT UPDATE: Bootz goes to the dentist

Baby Bootz went with his sibs for their check-ups.  When Mama Buzz asked when she should start Bootz, the dentist said, “Well, let’s just do it now.”  Everything is fine.  His baby teeth are coming in correctly and he has no sign of cavities.

Here is Bootz in the kid-friendly waiting room.  It is a PEDIATRIC dentist, after all.  Mama loves the kids’ dentist and wishes he took adults too. LOL

BTW, Bootz is crawling, standing, cruising, and climbing stairs.

“His whole life is a fantasy”

This interview is well worth your time.

• “It’s like he’s on the wrong side of everything.”  – Sean Hannity
• “It is unimaginable how much damage he has done.”  – Newt Gingrich

I have found the same thing Hannity says he found.  I.e., NO area of the world where Obama improved foreign relations and NO economic indicator that showed anything positive for the middle class or the poor.

Hannity : Newt Gingrich on President Obama’s radical left wing beliefs : 1/16/2017

The good news is that the fact Obama ruled by fiat means Trump is going to be able to undo 75% of Obama’s mess within the next few weeks.

One More Day

I’m going to make a wild prediction:
Fox News will crush CBSNBSABCCNNMSNBCPBSCNBC. I may be wrong. I was wrong the last time I made such a prognostication. Terribly wrong. And absolutely never happier to be so. Had my prediction of Mme. Pantsuit gotten elected, I wouldn’t be sitting here doing this.

For those into industrial strength schadenfreude, turn on CNN or MSDNC for awhile and watch the bubbling cauldrons of bile being forced down by people on the verge of dementia. Drink deep their tears and be refreshed.

At Final Briefing, Obama Remarks on Transition, Israel, and Post-Presidency

Watch the ‘Sycophantic’ W.H. Press Corps Shower Obama with Adulation in Final Presser

‘It’s been an honor’
President Obama began his final press conference on a surprising note. Despite “not liking all of the stories you’ve filed,” he told the gathered White House press corps that it’s your duty to ask “tough questions” and not be “sycophants.”

Too bad reporters were apparently not paying attention.

What followed was one softball after another, with rhetorical foot massages sandwiched between.

“Thank you, Mr. President,” each reporter began.

“It’s been an honor,” said another, before literally making the “call me” expression while pointing at her cellphone.

[CtH: GAG ME!!]

A reporter for The Blade, Chris Johnson, used his opportunity to ask the president a question to instead list a series of LGBT “accomplishments” Obama enjoyed during his tenure — before setting the president up to attack Trump.

Obama uses his final press conference to issue extraordinary warning to Trump that he will step in if he ’rounds up’ children for deportation, hits voting rights or ‘silences dissent’
In his final press conference, Obama brought up contentions issues for the U.S. citizenry, and pointedly told Trump he would speak up if his successor strayed far from current policy on rights issues.

He mentioned ‘systematic discrimination’ and efforts to ‘punish’ immigrants who came here as children.

He praised the press for making ‘this place work better’ in another signal to Trump, who has attacked networks and news outlets.

Invokes Jim Crow efforts to ‘restrict the franchise’ and prioritizes voting rights amid looming fight with the GOP over voter ID laws.

[CtH: Ignores HISTORICAL FACT that DEMOCRATS were responsible for Jim Crow laws.]
