Ross will just hire someone who will retract the retraction.

Retractions are made when an agency states something incorrectly. Do you honestly believe that that human hemorrhoid would ever admit that he was wrong about anything? Why am I bothering to ask you this? I forgot your cult’s mantra: “God is never wrong!”

There are no winner take all primaries in the Democratic 2020 primaries.

Welcome to noaa.gov

From Wednesday, August 28, through Monday, September 2, the information provided by NOAA and the National Hurricane Center to President Trump and the wider public demonstrated that tropical-storm-force winds from Hurricane Dorian could impact Alabama. This is clearly demonstrated in Hurricane Advisories #15 through #41, which can be viewed at the following link.

CNN's Climate Debate Hurts the Democrats It Tried to HelpAP Photo/Matt Rourke
CNN’s climate “townhall” was meant to promote Democrats, showcasing an issue dear to the hearts of the party’s liberal base and the 2020 presidential field. The candidates were delighted to join. It gave them a chance to show they are truly green, care as deeply as the activists, and intend to act decisively. They stopped just short of demanding we all walk to work and heat our homes with Sterno cans.

The candidates signaled their virtue with evangelical fervor. It was reminiscent of an old-fashioned revival, this one for a new secular religion. One by one, the top-tier contenders vowed to spend vast amounts of taxpayer money, kill millions of jobs, and impose sweeping controls on the U.S. economy. It was a bidding war with somebody else’s money.

CNN’s amen chorus never bothered to ask three crucial questions. First, how can America pull off this ambitious agenda without breaking the federal budget and fundamentally changing the way we live? Second, if these proposals were implemented, how much would they actually reduce global warming? Most estimates show, unfortunately, that they would have little impact, far less than one degree on the thermometer over several decades. Third, how can this global problem be solved if China and India continue to fill the air with soot?

This is what hysterical Global Warming fanatics just don't get..

The US is meeting obligations of the Paris Accord even if the US doesn't sign on..

Every country of the Accord are FAILING to meet their obligations..

Even if they do, the BIGGEST dumpers of carbon into the air (India and China) are going to continue dumping..

The Paris Accord is an exercise in international futility...

And THAT is why President Trump was right to pull us out of the treaty...

In a statement released after the Politico report, the Air Force said there are a number of reasons for using Prestwick:</b> https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/is-military-money-really-propping-up-a-trump-resort And then we have THE FACTS....

The significance is clear..

**NO** Independent or NPA will vote for a Dem candidate who promises open borders, throwing ALL Americans off their health plans and giving crimmigrants free, full healthcare plans..

This is the beauty of the Democrat Primary..

If Biden wins the nomination, all of the far Left progressives will stay home or, in a fit of pique, vote for President Trump. ("Take THAT, you worthless Democrat Party!!! PUMA!!!!")

Result: President Trump wins

If any of the other Far Left candidates win, the mainstream and moderate Democrats will stay home or, in a fit of SURVIVAL, vote for President Trump..

Result: President Trump wins

This, of course, doesn't take into account the Independents and NPAs... If Biden wins, he might be able to pull in some of them but no where near enough to make up for the loss of the Democrat Base..

Result: President Trump wins

If a Far Left Dem wins, then the Independents and NPAs will flock by the tens of millions to vote for President Trump, scared to death of the harm that a Far Left POTUS could do to this country..
