[GP] Sean Hannity spoke with founder and editor-in-chief of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, on his radio show today to clear up the source of the DNC hack.
When Hannity asked him if the Russian government was the source of the hack, Assange said the following:
Julian Assange: "Our source is not the Russian government."
Sean Hannity: "So in other words, let me be clear, Russia did not give you the Podesta documents or anything from the DNC?"
Julian Assange: "That’s correct."
Sean Hannity: "Can you confirm whether or not you have information involving hacked info from the RNC?"
Julian Assange: "We received about 3 pages of information to do with the RNC and Trump, but it was already public somewhere else."
Sean Hannity: "The CIA supposedly says that the Russians definitely tried to influence the U.S. election. What is your thoughts on that?"
Julian Assange: "I think it is very interesting ..the key quote for us is from James Clapper on the 17th of November. James Clapper is head of DNI (Director of National Intelligence)...who oversees all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies and so his statement is as far as Wikileaks connection is made to the House Intelligence Committee."
James Clapper audio: "As far as the Wikileaks connection, the evidence there is not strong and we don’t have a good insight into the sequencing of the releases or when that data may have been provided. We don’t have as good insight into that."

There are no new scams, just old ones people have largely forgotten about. Gerbil worming is an indulgence selling scam. The fact that the Red Pope recently announced that Catholic priests are going to be indoctrinated to service this indulgence scam should be a clue and a reminder.

The thing about Gerbil Worming that most twists my knickers is the fact that there was no science.
Those computer models need to be audited to see exactly what and how they work.
Having been in software for 30+ years including several in systems auditing and modeling I know what to look for and with these scam artists there is no there there. It's BS all the way down.

Yep, Al Gore became a very rich man selling his BS.
You know that the silly urea injection mandated for diesels that costs $4000 for a gallon refill? Well guess who owns the patent for that idiocy? Yep none other than one of Al Gore's companies.
So tell me, who decided to mandate that and why?

Sure, issues of bona fide pollution like smog and untreated sewage are still out there a little, but they are largely under control and don't really stir the emotions much any more.
Last I heard smog is most definitely not under control in Peking. But what are ya gonna do?

Abu, check out the pollution of rivers in India.
Why can't all these screaming greenies go where the real problems are and stay there till they're fixed?

Lack of 5 star hotels and potable water. There, fixed.

Lack of potable water is the biggest, easy to fix problem there is. It kills millions every year, and puts a huge health and financial burden on the poorest several billion people.
If Trump wants a global program to genuinely help people, I'd suggest Potable Water for All.

Solving that problem would improve and save lives. Greens don't want that.
What they ultimately want is to live as kings among an impoverished, desperate populace.

Me Too!
"Agree with the potable water and DDT."
[CFP] Barack Obama has two faces. After Trump’s victory and Hillary’s defeat, the public Obama has been gracious and diplomatic. His lectures to Trump, directly and indirectly, are couched in praise. He echoed the feeling of millions on both sides when he said, "We are now all rooting for his success".
That’s a lie. Or rather a disguise.
Obama and his aides had, in one insider narrative, decided to don the "mask of decorum". The contempt for Trump still seeps through the mask. And the mask hides Obama’s next big move.
President Obama is over. He knows that. There are still some things that he can do before he leaves office, but everything except the most destructive, can be undone by his successor. The next phase of his campaign will not be fought from the White House. It will be fought against the White House .
The other Obama is emerging in conference calls with his supporters. "One of the challenges that I’ve discovered being president is I’d like to be organizer-in-chief, but it’s hard," he said in one call.
Obama can no longer be commander-in-chief. Instead he’s plotting to become organizer-in-chief.
The infrastructure for the organization was put into place long before anyone thought that Hillary might lose. Organizing for Action gave him his own organizing hub. If Hillary had won, it would have been a pressure group. Now that Trump won, it’s an axis to build a personal counterrevolution around.
In his post-election conference call with his OFA troops, Obama told them, "I’m giving you like a week and a half to get over it". Then it would be time to "move forward not only to protect what we’ve accomplished, but also to see this as an opportunity". What opportunity could there be in Trump’s win?

It's a small thing, but I am going to be a little happier in 34 days when I can drop POSOTUS and use POTUS again.
Obama will never go away. The press will use him as a cudgel to beat up the incoming administration non-stop, he will get all the airtime he wants. I am looking forward to the huge public ceremony that will be his "reversion" to Islam.

Obama had two terms and twice as bad as Carter so he should build houses for Habitat for Humanity for twice as long as Carter did before considering returning to public life.
[Politico] Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle has emerged as a contender to be Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, and is expected to have a third meeting with his transition team this week, according to two sources familiar with the meetings.
Guilfoyle, a host on Fox News’ "The Five," was spotted last week at Trump Tower, where she had lunch with top staffers in the transition team. She did not personally meet with Trump, but she’s slated to return this week to the Fifth Avenue building where Trump has paraded his potential appointments.
The Trump administration is expected to finish selecting top White House staff by the end of the week.
While Republican National Committee and Trump transition spokesman Sean Spicer is considered the front-runner for the top communications job, some are still quietly pushing for Guilfoyle, a Latina who is a former assistant district attorney in San Francisco.
Some in Trump’s inner circle have argued that Guilfoyle, who is half-Puerto Rican, would be a more sympathetic face when flacking some of Trump’s more divisive stances on immigration and pro-life issues.
[PJ] CNN's Brian Stelter posed this question about Donald Trump's election to his panel on the ironically named "Reliable Sources" show: "Is this something of a national emergency? And are journalists afraid to say so because they're gonna sound partisan?" He thinks that a president who won an electoral landslide is a threat to our nation's very existence. How demeaning can CNN be?!?
[FrontPageMagazine] The Ignorance Cultural Revolution continues. The glorious cultural warriors against literacy have triumphed at the University of Pennsylvania where Shakespeare was declared a non-person and purged by what was formerly known as the English Department.

I am pretty sure there's nearby community college that can be hired/contracted to teach English for technical writing and just dump the entire department. Lots of savings to be found there.
"The portrait has resided over the main staircase of Fisher-Bennett — home to Penn’s English Department — for years. The English Department voted to relocate and replace the portrait a few years ago in order to represent a more diverse range of writers, according to an emailed statement from Esty, who declined to be interviewed."
The article's author then makes the point:
"Not merit. Not worth. Diversity. And diversity means meritless worthlessness. Always remember that. Diverse equals worthless."

Why do they even *have* an English department?
English is the language of the white, colonial oppressors. Plus all those words stolen from oppressed languages around the world.
[DAWN] ONCE a key node on Levantine trade routes, Aleppo, today resembles a graveyard. In many ways, the state of Aleppo reflects the state of much of Syria after nearly six years of a devastating civil war. This is a war that has reverberated across continents, one in which major world powers have been heavily involved, and one that has brought death, disease and displacement to hundreds of thousands of Syrians. This week, after a four-year grinding war of attrition, Bashir al-Assad’s forces managed to retake almost all of Aleppo. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... as has been the case throughout the civil war, it is the Syrian people who have suffered the most. While on Wednesday efforts to evacuate rebel-held areas were thwarted by renewed fighting, yesterday, there were reports that evacuation of both fighters and non-combatants had restarted.
As in all conflicts, the truth in Syria was an early casualty. Much of the coverage of the Syrian war, especially the ongoing events in Aleppo, has been coloured by geopolitical perspectives. Media with a soft spot for Damascus have shown citizens celebrating the ’liberation’ of Aleppo, while outlets sympathetic to the rebels have portrayed a wasteland put to fire and the sword by the ruthless legions of Mr Assad. Even the language about the Aleppo operation is partisan: is it ’liberation’ or a ’fall’? Perhaps -- away from extreme partisan positions -- the world needs to look at the conflict from a humanitarian perspective. The fact is that both the Assad regime as well as the rebels -- whose ranks are populated by a number murderous Moslem factions -- have committed atrocities in this conflict. Moreover, those in the international community who are today shedding tears for the people of Aleppo have helped stoke the fires of conflict in Syria by meddling in the civil war, pushing for regime change and using the country as a proxy battlefield to settle geopolitical scores. Whether it is the West, the Arabs, Iran, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... or Russia, all players have had a hand in making Syria what it is today. Aside from meddling in the Syrian imbroglio, the international community’s efforts to bring the conflict to a negotiated close have been half-hearted.
Is it too late to negotiate? Indeed, Mr Assad will be emboldened by capturing Aleppo. But ploughing on to retake territory in the same brutal fashion will prolong the conflict indefinitely. On the other hand, while the battle for Aleppo was raging, the turbanIslamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group managed to sneak back into Palmyra and take the town from the government. In this complicated war, the threat turban groups pose to global security must not be lost sight of. Negotiating peace will be far from uncomplicated. But should the stakeholders decide that Syria’s future will be decided on the battlefield, more bloodshed and suffering await its forsaken people.

[TakiMag] An odd thing about today’s leftists is that as rigid and prudish as they are regarding language and images that might come off as “racist” or “sexist,” the sexualization of children is something that is still seen as a positive, a hip, cool, edgy way to prove how progressive one is. Exposing children to dark and sexual content is the last remaining vestige of George Carlin’s influence on the left. The legacy of the man who pushed people to stop being afraid of “bad” words has been almost entirely purged from 21st-century leftism. These days, the left is uniquely defined by its fear of words and its belief that “racist” or “sexist” words can kill or rape in as physical a sense as a gun or a penis. But when it comes to children, this is where the left loves to trot out its Carlinism. From hipster god Louis C.K.’s career-making routines about his young daughters and their vaginas, to Lena Dunham boasting about fingering her little sister, to the continued glorification of the work of Robert Mapplethorpe, to the chorus of huzzahs that greet every story about a small child who “decides” (with a tiny push from mommy and daddy…or mommy and mommy…or daddy and daddy) to “come out” as a different gender, when it comes to kids, we see left/right revert to their more traditional, 20th-century roles—the leftists as the “say anything, do anything” free spirits, and the rightists as the “prudes.”
