The mounting evidence can be seen in the NOAA's own date for combined global temperature, which show that temperatures have been dropping for 18 months in a row. >

While news media focused on his adoption of Indian dress on a recent family holiday to India, less well known is that the Canadian Prime Minister and ex-drama teacher also adopted other aspects of Indian culture during his vacation. These included @#$%ting in the street and wiping his arse with his hand.>

Oh my!
Lets read that again:

<These included @#$%ting in the street and wiping his arse with his hand.>>

Very interesting article from alt-right.com:

<Should the White West perish, the love of truth perishes with it.>

Framed in racial context as usual, this makes for great out of the box reading.

A taste of the article:

<One of the key steps in my progress toward conscious race realism (as with many in our cause, it had been latent and waiting in me for a long time) came in my university days. This was no stark experience of the injustice of affirmative action or racial quotas; nor was I victim of crime at the hands of “minority groups” (setting aside, of course, the time a pair of Mexicans, mindless on crystal meth, broke into my school apartment and began to cook fish on the stove, plastic wrapping and all—but that is a different story). My college, all told, was relatively untouched by the egalitarian madness that even in those days was beginning to run rampant through American academia; and it is a testament to this particular college’s concern for merit, that I never recall hearing complaint regarding the very small number of “minority” students.

In my first year there, I happened to make the acquaintance of one of these, a young Black man by the name of T. He was a gregarious fellow to whom nature had gifted an intelligence unusual to his people, preserving meanwhile certain other readily identifiably Black traits and habits, almost to the point of caricature. A characteristic scene—I recall T. sitting in the lunch hall talking Plato, while he worked his way through a plate heaped with what must have been twenty drumsticks of fried chicken.

T.’s stamina in university, however, did not match his stamina at the table; within only a few months he had been expelled for breach of the college’s strict attendance standards. He had failed over a dozen times to awaken for his 9:00 o’clock lessons, for he had been passing entire nights gambling at the stock exchange, convinced that he would strike it rich and drop out of school. (No doubt this behavior in a Black man will amaze my readers.)

T. was a dyed-in-the-wool Protestant, and much of our debate centered on the question of the literal veracity of the Bible. I was in those folly days of my youth a militant atheist, and I sought with all my force to convince T. of the irrationality of his views. I spared no effort in this endeavor, but spent long hours studying this or that aspect of the question so as to confute him with my latest findings.

But by and by I realized something: T., despite his intellect, was on some deep level perfectly indifferent to the relevance of these facts or arguments.>

Let's read that last part again,

<
But by and by I realized something: T., despite his intellect, was on some deep level perfectly indifferent to the relevance of these facts or arguments.>

We just spoke on the <rogoff> page about liberals being indifferent to the facts or argument.

One more time,

We just spoke on the <rogoff> page about liberals being indifferent to the facts or argument. >

I'm not sure why, but the vast majority of people simply don't care about truth in those 2 areas.>

I don't see the problem at all?

Liberalism is a lie! (Done!)

An "honest" liberal would have to acknowledge the lies and failure he's embraced.

An "honest" liberal would have to embrace the human atrocity, expense, you've inflicted on the American people.

How Trump’s Presidency Will Be Judged

Pat Buchanan, American Renaissance, April 3, 2018 “If he leaves office with the border unsecured, it is hard to see what stops the Third World invasion . . .”

On many issues—naming Scalia-like judges and backing Reagan-like tax cuts—President Trump is a conventional Republican.

Where he was exceptional in 2016, where he stood out starkly from his GOP rivals, where he won decisive states like Pennsylvania, was on his uniquely Trumpian agenda to put America and Americans first—from which the Bush Republicans recoiled.

Trump alone pledged to kill amnesty and secure the border with a 30-foot wall to halt the invasion of our country.

Trump alone pledged to end the de-industrialization of America and bring back our lost factories and lost jobs.

Trump alone pledged to end the democracy-crusading and extricate us from the endless Mideast wars into which George Bush, Barack Obama and the War Party had plunged the nation.

And, upon how he delivers on these three uniquely Trumpian issues will hang his political fate and history’s assessment of whether he was a good, great or failed president.

Where this city stands is not in doubt. It is salivating to see Trump’s presidency broken, his agenda trashed, and him impeached. This city looks to Robert Mueller as the Moses of its deliverance from the tyrant whom an uncomprehending electorate imposed upon it.

While Trump’s support among his deplorables is holding—indeed, he is creeping back up in the polls—the outcome of the battle to bring him down remains in doubt.

Consider. Trump’s border wall was treated like a disposable bauble in the GOP Congress’ $1.6 trillion budget deal. Cities and whole states are declaring themselves sanctuaries for people here illegally and defying U.S. authorities’ requests for help in deporting accused criminals.

A “caravan” of a thousand Central Americans is passing through Mexico, aided by the authorities, and headed for the U.S. border.

When they arrive, rely upon it, the anti-Trump media will be there to bewail any transgressions by the Border Patrol.

The hysterical reaction to news that the 2020 census will include a question, “Are you a U.S. citizen?” testifies to what this is all about.

America’s elites are adamant that our country should vanish inside a new Third World nation that resembles in its racial, religious and ethnic composition the U.N. General Assembly. The old God-and-country America the people loved they detest.

Trump is likely the last president who will try to preserve that country. If he leaves office with the border unsecured, it is hard to see what stops the Third World invasion, even as it is also coming across the Mediterranean into Europe.

“The Camp of the Saints” is no longer a dystopian novel.

Enoch Powell’s warning, 50 years ago, about mass migration into Europe, “Et thybrim multo spumantem sanguine cerno,” “I see the River Tiber foaming with much blood,” is now seen as prophecy.

And Trump’s agenda of economic nationalism—restoring the industrial dynamism and self-sufficiency America knew from Lincoln to Reagan—faces relentless hostility from institutionalized power.

Against Trump stand corporate elites, whose profits and stock options depend on producing outside America, and the managerial class of a New World Order that runs the EU, U.N., IMF, World Bank and WTO.

Yet if global elites are hoarding the largest slice of the wealth of nations and a goodly slice of their political power, one senses that they are an unloved crowd, and they are sitting on a volcano.

<...his commitment to extricate us from the Middle East wars into which Bush and Obama had entrenched us, and to keep us out of any new wars. Trump also pledged to reach out to Vladimir Putin and to Russia to avoid a second Cold War.

Those who voted for him voted for that foreign policy.

And if Trump is drawn into new wars with Iran or North Korea, or reaches 2020 with U.S. forces still fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Libya, he will be perceived as having failed.

Yet the resistance of this city to giving up its vision of U.S. global hegemony is broad and deep, for that vision is almost a defining mark of our foreign policy elites. For them to give it up would be like death itself.

The stunned reaction to Trump’s suggestion last week that we will be leaving Syria after ISIS’s caliphate is destroyed, testifies to how much their identify is tied up in this vision.

That Trump would accept an end to Syria’s civil war, with Bashar Assad still in power, is intolerable. Yet how we can reverse that reality without putting thousands of U.S. combat troops into Syria is unexplained. In the last analysis, then, it is upon three questions that the Trump presidency will be judged:

Did he secure America’s borders? Did he restore the industrial might of America? Did he take us out of and keep us out of any more neocon wars?>

<The West today faces a number of serious problems. Finding solutions to these problems requires real men. Unfortunately, one of our greatest problems at this time is precisely the lack of them.>

As usual, Altright.com has a unique take. You be the judge.

St. Augustine of Hippo>

I think that's massively wrong. Part of the greatest command is to love the Lord thy God with all thy mind. Surely part of that entails understanding the message God presents to us. The following passage and others suggest that the understanding is an essential part of faith, not just something that comes second.

Ps. 14:2 The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankin to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

Mt. 13:15 For this people's heart has become calloused, they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.

John 10:38 But I do them, even thought you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

It is God's role for men to be the head of the household.

1 Pet 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner......

Eph. 5:24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Col. 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

I think that's massively wrong. Part of the greatest command is to love the Lord thy God with all thy mind.>

I think Augustine would say that your response is given in the context of faith vs understanding in terms of value. Which one is better, faith or understanding? But if you reflect on the quote a bit more, it seems that Augustine is talking about something quite different. I think Augustine would say that this quote is more about epistemology, especially in regards to how we can know truth, and that, esp in regards to knowing the truth about God. Keep in mind that at the time that Augustine lived, the great thinkers and theologians were greatly influenced (as is all of Christian thought) by Platonism, both classical and neo, the "forms", the four formal causes, the problems of universals upon particulars and other such Platonic themes as they are superimposed upon early Christian thought.

Hey <BP>

Thanks for this post in my forum.

I watched the video all the way through, more than 12 minutes.

It wasn't enjoyable. More like depressing.

Some stupid loud-mouth C just fulfilling the embodiment of feminist stupidity is not enjoyable.

She was rude, manipulative, insincere, dishonest, domineering, hostile and repulsive.

Jordan Peterson remained professional and analytical at all times.

I am coming up on my 2 year anniversary since I gave my last TV away. (I actually traded it, for temporary housing).

So I have gotten used to not seeing it.

When I view something like that video you shared, or a clip from TV News, with the "talent" either hosting two arguing jerks, or else the "talent" is doing an interview like that woman with Peterson, it is a shock to the senses!

That lib chick who interviewed Jordan Peterson obviously hates men. She actually believed all that liberal nonsense she was spouting and she’s very bitter because of it. That’s how liberalism works though. Liberalism makes victims out of everyone for one reason or another, and almost all victims hate their perceived oppressors. So liberalism spreads hate.

<Girl Made Up Story of Being Attacked in Va. Because of Her Headscarf, Police Say>

https://www.amren.com/news/2018/04/...

<Police in Prince William County said Tuesday that a report of an attack on a 13-year-old girl who wore a headscarf in Woodbridge was false.

snip

According to authorities, the girl said a man had cursed at her, grabbed her arm and showed a knife near Jato Court and Riverview Lane. She said the man was black and had also called her a terrorist.

Police said that “no altercation had occurred” and that the girl is expected to be charged with filing a false police report.

snip

The girl also told police that the man had removed her headscarf and placed a hand over her mouth when she tried to scream. When a motorist came by and saw what was happening, the attacker fled, the girl told police.
