Great news!
The cause of Climate Change has been revealed...

The climate is always changing.

. The earth is moving closer to the sun...and will continue doing so until 2600...naturally.
This will cause the globe to warm by 2 to 2.5 degrees....naturally.

Valentina somebody expert has studied it all.

No 1 radio host announced it today!

(a) Oh, boy. Your radio host announced it. That sure makes it proof by all scientific measures! I wonder why the rest of the world spends any money when they could just ask him!

(b) Why the FUCK do you think that additional warming of 2-2.5 degrees is good news, you fool?!

Well now we can plan for it, instead of wasting time with Carbon Dioxide and blaming man for it.

We needed to plan for it, whether your idiot non-savant was right or 97% of scientists are right, but because of people just like you and your clueless radio announcer claiming it was all a hoax, the governments have for too long refused to "plan for it."

Congratulations. The planet you have begged for is happening.

Signs and wonders.

At least Bambi will still have some of that delicious coal to eat when his water runs out.

You could buy some of the awesome desalination tech brown skinned immigrants helped develop and we are putting to increasing use here in California. Your settlements are mainly coast-locked anyway.

You’ll have to get loans from the Chinese. They won’t be paid in coal.

Wisest thing the Germans did in the 20th century. The United States should now do the same with his descendant.

Maybe his friend Jeffery can get him a Saudi passport. He used to know a guy.

Zimbabwe's capital city has turned off its taps - no water.

I am sure that they will be relieved by your radio host's news, Bambi-ignorance².

Rural Australia [most of the nation] is finished, no water.
City and suburban Australia won't be far behind.
Dumbass politicians over decades wouldn't adopt no 1 radio host's 'Watering Australia' plan.

Oh, piss on rural Australia.

Which was, coincidentally, also no 1 radio host's "Watering Australia" plan.

What is Omar talking about? White supremacist terrorists blowing up mosques and synagogues (That is not why Homeland security was formed princess). Still in denial about 9-11, Al Qaeda, and Isis.

I noticed you never acknowledged all the stuff you love about the VA under Trump you got from Obama.

Federal prosecutors won’t bring civil rights charges against a New York City police officer in the 2014 chokehold death of Eric Garner, a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday.

The decision not to bring charges against Officer Daniel Pantaleo comes a day before the statute of limitations was set to expire, on the fifth anniversary of the encounter that led to Garner's death. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The Arts Contribute More Than $760 Billion to the U.S. Economy

I saw Richard Florida on PBS last night talking about how creative people are moving to the cities, but he says that gentrification is happening and the poor people are being driven out. At first he thought that it was great that the creative people were repopulating and rebirthing our dying cities, but then he saw that the people were not mixing, the poor people stayed poor and were driven out. That made him sad. And he does not think that it will ever get better, he thinks that the American people will always be divided, he said the best that we could hope for is to agree to disagree and coexist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Florida

And he spoke of the importance of unions, so that workers are paid fair, as economies improve then the workers need to be paid accordingly. And the people who are driving our economy need to be paid fair.

He is a pretty smart guy, and I agree with a lot of what he said.

But he failed to factor in Christianity, and wealthy people who are on a mission to help the poor, and to leave the world a better place when they die. I know a guy, a rich old lady gave him a free college education. And there are clubs like Kiwanis, etc. As the creative people repopulate and rebirth the cities, then many will help the poor, and they will help improve education, etc. And people will donate libraries like Carnegie, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_library

And creative people like Walt Disney completely change the world, over 160,000 jobs are created in Orange County, California, by tourism alone, thanks to Disneyland.

ACLU

Tony –

We just filed a lawsuit challenging Trump's new rule banning asylum protections for virtually all people crossing the southern border. The Trump administration is trying to unilaterally reverse our country's legal and moral commitment to protect those fleeing danger.

The new rule prohibits anyone from applying for asylum if they have passed through another country and didn't seek asylum there first. It's patently unlawful under U.S. law as well as international human rights law – and it's an unacceptable assault on our country's values. The rule is supposed to go into effect today, and our team has been working around the clock to file this suit and stop it in its tracks.

The Trump administration has been tearing apart families and stoking fear and racism across the country for over two years now. Last weekend, the president reminded us of what fuels his anti-immigrant agenda when he told Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez – four women of color and new members of Congress – to "go back" to where they came from. This is racism, plain and simple.

But we've been fighting back at every turn. Together, we've reunited thousands of families torn apart by his cruel family separation policy, and we're still in court fighting to reunite the rest. We won a ruling against Attorney General Barr's attempt to jail asylum seekers without due process. We blocked Trump from using unauthorized funds to build his border wall. And just last weekend, we showed how powerful we can be when we came together, wielding the power of the Constitution to defend against the planned ICE raids. Thanks to you, thousands of people knew their rights.

Tony, you don't need me to tell you that we won't stop fighting for immigrants' rights – or that we can win and will win with the help of our four million supporters like you.

Together we are powerful.

Keep fighting,

Lee Gelernt
Deputy Director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project

-------------------

We need the ACLU now more than ever, and the NRA too, we need to defend all of our human rights.

Salute,

Tony V.

SRA Tony. The NRA is a scam. It wasn’t always, but it is now. Think of it as being infested with evil spirits, like the GOP.
