Highlighting Ten Years Of AGW UnFounded FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) On Halloween (How Appropriate)

It's been ten years since Gore's Inconvenient UnTruth that has been clearly discredited by none other than Mother Nature's Facts and Data.
It's been ten years since Gore's Inconvenient UnTruth that has been clearly discredited by none other than Mother Nature's Facts and Data.
This
article is a continuation of the FUD and Massive Distortions by the Man-made
AGW Global Warming Alarmists with a Major Dose of Anti-Republican Bashing (just
in time for next week’s elections).
-
All this
FUD must be true, after all, it’s by a guy named “Bishop” and it’s published in
the Pravda Media outlet Roanoke Times on Halloween!
To really
scare the hell out of people on this Halloween day, the 5x8 graphic of the
earth’s Apocalyptical end is really over the top!
With a name
like “Bishop” one might think that his Apocalyptical end of the world
scenario would be based on Revelation 20:7-10 and the Liberal-Progressive-led
moral decline of the US
-
It’s
interesting that “Bishop” got through this major extended commentary article
without one reference to one piece of scientific data or documented fact. His premises and that of the graphic is NOT
even supported by Gore’s UN IPCC.
-
"Bishop" also fails to point out that
all this Apocalyptical FUD is based NOT on the “scientific method” or on real
data but instead on totally discredited models that personify “garbage-in garbage-out”.

Vote YES On Va. “Right-To-Work” R2W Ballot Amendment
-
Virginia Virginia New York , New Jersey , Massachusetts and Connecticut Conn 50 -- worst in the US
Roanoke
Times, 10-11-2016, Pg Va 1, 6: Unions oppose right-to-work measure
-
-
Of course
Unions want to kill the Right-To-Work (R2W) Amendment!
An
Amendment makes it much harder to do that!
-
Under Va. R2W,
workers can choose to join a union or not.
Under Va. R2W,
If working in a union-shop, workers can choose to financially support the union
(pay dues and other fees) or not.
-
If working
in a Union-Shop In a Union-State all union dues and fees are automatically “deducted”
from workers pay-checks, just like taxes, whether the worker wants to belong or
not!
-
Businesses
can do business in Virginia
Hopefully
workers recognize that union-leaders often have agendas and objectives of their
own choosing and selection of union leadership may not be a democratic process.
(Voting
against Jimmy Hoffa’s reelections was not a good option)
-
Businesses
have massive state and national laws, rules and regulations to comply with and
adding unions onto those burdens is counter-productive for both existing and
potentially new businesses.
-
The state
and taxpayers benefit from R2W by avoiding the burdens of “prevailing wage”
union demands being placed on all state and local contracts. These burdens wipe-out the concept of
competitive bidding and massively run-up the cost of all government contracts.
Also, there is less probability of strikes and work-stoppages being called by over-aggressive union leaders trying to justify their existence and pay.
Also, there is less probability of strikes and work-stoppages being called by over-aggressive union leaders trying to justify their existence and pay.

Unions do
not create jobs.
Unions do
not save jobs (only successful businesses save jobs).
On the
contrary:
Unions can
and do drive businesses and jobs out of communities and states.

Vote YES on Amendment 1
Dear Friend,
When voters head to the polls on November 8, 2016, they will vote on two proposed constitutional amendments. One of these proposed constitutional amendments is the "Right to Work" amendment, or Amendment 1.
The Right to Work amendment establishes constitutional protection for workers who do not want to be forced to join a union. This amendment would make it unconstitutional to force any employee to join a union or pay union dues in order to get a job or keep the one they currently have. This amendment protects the rights of workers and protects workplace freedom. Joining a union should be a choice, not a mandate from union bosses or special interests.
Right to Work helps our economy. Businesses, especially large manufacturing businesses, prefer right to work states. Almost 40% of manufacturers insist on operating in Right to Work states.
Income growth is also higher in Right to Work states. Over the last decade, income growth has been higher in right to work states than forced-unionization states. Income in Right to Work states grew by 15.5% compared to 9.6% in forced-unionization states.
Right to Work states consistently have lower unemployment rates than forced-unionization states. The median unemployment rate in right to work states is 4.6% compared to 5% in forced-unionization states.
Right to Work states are creating more jobs than forced-unionization states. Over the last decade, private sector employment in right to work states grew by 15.9% compared to 9.6% in forced-unionization states.
In the past decade, two states that were force-unionized states are now Right to Work states, Wisconsin and Michigan. Since Wisconsin adopted its Right to Work law in 2015, unemployment has dropped by nearly one percent. Since Michigan adopted its Right to Work law in 2012, unemployment has dropped from 9 percent to just over 5 percent.
Passing Amendment 1 in the Constitution of Virginia is important. Even though Right to Work is already the law, Constitutional protections are stronger and harder to overturn. The right to work and work without fear of coercion should be permanently enshrined in our state bill of rights. I encourage you to vote YES on Amendment 1, "Right to Work."
Sincerely,
Delegate Charles Poindexter
9th District, Virginia House of Delegates

FBI reopens Clinton
“The FBI has
renewed its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s secret emails, Director James Comey told Congressin a new letter Friday,
heightening the stakes for the Democratic presidential nominee with less than
two weeks before Election Day.
Mr. Comey said
his agents learned of new emails “pertinent” to their probe while working on an
unrelated (Weiner) case. He said his agents need to review those messages to see whether
they contain classified information and whether they affect his previous
decision.”
-
-
“His
Agents” demanded reopening the investigation – yes – those agents who are
furious that AG Lynch met with Bill Clinton and torpedoed the Hillary National
Security Documents FBI Investigation by granting immunity to all the key
Hillary persons involved in the case!
Talk about a lawless AG and Administration!
-
That
malfeasance was then escalated by Hillary’s
Bud (Va Gov McAuliffe) who "directed" over one-half million dollars into the
election of the wife of one of the major FBI leaders handling the Hillary
Investigation.

Just Exactly How Corrupt Is Our
Government?
-
-
Hillary is
now disturbed at late breaking news about the extended FBI investigation.
The news is
late breaking because she has lied and stone-walled every effort to determine
the facts in this case for well over two years.
In addition, she destroyed multiple “private” Email devices, wiped her
computer server and destroyed 30,000 Emails thereby scuttling full disclosure
of her State Dept. communications required by law and by Congressional Subpoena. Copies of Emails from others she and her top
staff communicated with are now being discovered as part of other
investigations. Whose fault is that?

Has there
ever been such a level of corruption at such a high-level of government as Hillary
and her Gang?
I Think Not!

Government Stream “Renovation” And The Gas Pipeline
-
Sculpting a
creek: Roanoke County
-
This entire
flowery article tries to explain major stream “restoration” as government
working diligently to get the stream back to nature.
Hello! The stream’s condition is the result of
nature!
Government
is Not doing “restoration”, they are doing “renovation” to achieve their own
goals, not nature’s goals.
But,
because “Government” is doing it – it must be OK!
-
-
-
-
Contrast
this “positive story” of government action in a major stream to the massive
media coverage of the anti-pipeline dialogue and the associated descriptions of
feared stream damage.
-
One year
after this government “renovation” action, this stream will reflect the major
changes being made; be that good or bad.
-
-
One year
after a gas pipeline crosses a stream; it will be difficult to ascertain
exactly where it’s buried.

Just Exactly How Corrupt Is Our Government?

Clinton
Group
linked to Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe donated nearly half a million dollars
to 2015 state Senate candidate
-
But That’s NOT the REALLY BAD News!
The REALLY BAD
News is that the FBI “Official” is a major player in the FBI investigation of
Hillary’s server and secret document malfeasance!
-
“Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s
political action committee donated nearly $500,000 to the election campaign of
Dr. Jill McCabe--the wife of an FBI official who helped oversee the
investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while
secretary of state, the Wall Street Journal first reported.
And the
Virginia Democratic Party, a group over which the governor has considerable
influence, contributed an additional $207,778 in the form of mailers, the
campaign finance records indicate. The WSJ noted that this put donations from
entities directly under McAuliffe or influenced by him at nearly $700,000,
which was about a third of McCabe’s total campaign fundraising efforts.
McAuliffe also reportedly recruited McCabe for the race.”
-
-
Let’s all watch
the Pravda Media marginalize and discount this story as they escort Hillary and
Bill back into the White House.
For
example: today's Roanoke Times highlights the story as McAuliffe blowing off the issues as "political silly season"! Really!

contrast to how the Pravda Media and Obama’s DOJ handled Bob McDonnell’s
association with the Vitamin Boy!

Roanoke Roanoke
A
Nightmare on Elm Street not just a 1984 Horror Movie
It has been
a Roanoke Road Reality for many years and now a major construction project
designed to fix “the problem” is not yet living up to expectations.
The primary
objective: don’t let traffic back-up onto I581.
Objective
achieved: just block the Elm
Street
But that
creates major traffic problems on Elm
Street
Roanoke Times: “WOYM: Elm Avenue
"Q: What is
going on with the traffic lights at the new Elm Avenue Intersection at
Interstate 581? We endured all of the construction on the new bridges and
thought the project would eliminate or help traffic congestion. Yet the
situation is about the same as before.”

Hillary (The Presumptive POTUS) A $100 Million Crook?
-
Based on Hillary’s financial level
of corruption, would you accept “In Advance” the results of the coming
election?
Or as JFK’s
Dad Joe Kennedy said the day after Jack’s election when asked about the close
outcome and the obvious ballot-box stuffing in Chicago and Texas (home of the VP candidate LBJ):
“I paid for
a Win, I didn’t pay for a LandSlide”
And -- Al
Gore didn’t accept the outcome of his run until a ruling by the SCOTUS Dec 12th
ended the election process and then he whined to this day about the “corrupt
election that was stolen from him”!

Hillary's Latest Scandal: She And

“So what
would Washington and Jefferson
make of Hillary Rodham Clinton? Mandatory financial disclosures released this
month show that, in just the two years from April 2013 to March 2015, the
former first lady, senator and secretary of state collected $21,667,000 in
“speaking fees,” not to mention the cool $5 mil she corralled as an advance for
her 2014 flop book, “Hard Choices.”
“Throw in
the additional $26,630,000 her ex-president husband hoovered up in
personal-appearance “honoraria,” and the nation can breathe a collective sigh
of relief that the former first couple — who, according to Hillary, were “dead
broke” when they left the White House in 2001 with some of the furniture in tow
— can finally make ends meet.”

Abedin implicated Clinton
in foundation trade-off with Morocco
“Just hours
after Hillary Clinton dodged a question at the final presidential debate about
charges of "pay to play" at the Clinton Foundation, a new batch of
WikiLeaks emails surfaced with stunning charges that the candidate herself was
at the center of negotiating a $12 million commitment from King Mohammed VI of
Morocco.
One of the
more remarkable parts of the charge is that the allegation came from Clinton
Abedin
wrote that "this was HRC's idea" for her to speak at a meeting of the
Clinton Global Initiative in Morocco
"She
created this mess and she knows it," Abedin wrote to Podesta and Mook.”
