*"Weekly News Wrap-Up 4/21/2017"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "North Korea made the most provocative and dangerous threat yet through the state media when it said Kim Jong-Un may order a “super-mighty preemptive strike” against South Korea and the U.S. The U.S. says it is sending an armada to deal with the provocation. China and Russia, which both border North Korea, reportedly have deployed troops there. The threat is the worst ever for the Korean Peninsula as the North now has nuclear weapons that it did not have in the Korean War in the early 1950’s. The CIA and the FBI are... more »

Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog - 4 hours ago
I wasn't going to write about Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent, and Kid Rock at the White House -- by now I'm bored with all of them -- but there was a lot of talk about the visit, so I think Trump gets to count it as a successful troll. He hasn't gotten any significant legislation passed in the first hundred days, but hey, he has this. Now, whose idea do you suppose it was? My money's on this guy: He made a documentary about her. She was reportedly his first pick for president. It must have been his idea. Either this was planned before Bannon went into the doghouse or it's his way of try... more »

Theresa May's snap election gamble, explained

Garret Martin, Professorial Lecturer, American University School of International Service at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 4 hours ago
Theresa May, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, decided on April 18 to dissolve Parliament and hold snap elections on June 8. The motion easily secured the required two-thirds majority in the U.K.‘s House of Commons. The decision marks a stunning reversal and has surprised many people in her own government and abroad. May had repeatedly denied that she would make such a momentous decision. In the U.S., we’re accustomed to a fixed electoral calendar.

Elizabeth Warren discussing how motivated the Democrats are to fight back against Donald Trump and how she is energized by the protesters is exactly the shot in the arm we need today.

There is just something very therapeutic about listening to Elizabeth Warren talk about the state of liberal politics in this America today, and her hopes for the future.

The increase in CO2 is not due to humans

The increase in CO2 is not due to humans, therefore alarmism and all the money spent on it has no basis. Anthony Cox This is a key issue: whether humans are responsible for all or most of the increase in atmospheric CO2. If they are not then it does not matter if alarmists believe that CO2 is the dominant greenhouse gas, which it is not because the increase is natural.

*"Earth Voices"* "I heard the spring light whisper Above the dancing stream, 'The world is made forever In likeness of a dream. I am the law of planets, I am the guide of man; The evening and the morning Are fashioned to my plan. I tint the dawn with crimson, I tinge the sea with blue; My track is in the desert, My trail is in the dew. I paint the hills with color, And in my magic dome I light the star of evening To steer the traveler home. Within the house of being, I feed the lamp of truth With tales of ancient wisdom And prophecies of youth.'" - Bliss Carman

This morning, a new Quinnipiac poll found that only 36% of American voters say Republicans in Congress should try again to repeal and replace Obamacare, the 2010 Affordable Care Act, while 60% say the Republicans should "move on." What's more, voters disapprove 65-29% of the way Trump is handling health care. According to an earlier poll, just 17% of Americans supported Ryan's TrumpCare proposal. In fact, it was so unpopular that dozens of Republicans told the GOP House leadership they couldn't vote for it. So Ryan pulled the bill. At first, Trump was happy and said it was time to... more »
