Fox News host Tucker Carlson hosted a California college professor, Joseph Palermo, who wrote a Huffington Post op-ed in which he argued that Trump’s administration shouldn’t be allowed to use Twitter since they believed “the science of global warming is bogus.”
In the article, Dr. Palermo claimed that 98% of scientists believe in the science behind extreme climate change scenarios.
During the interview, Carlson pressed Palermo for a source for his 98% claim.
“How do you know that? Are you a scientist or have you polled other scientists? Where’d you get that figure?”
Palermo wouldn’t or couldn’t answer the question.
Daily Caller suggested that Palermo was likely referring to an oft-touted 2013 study by Australian researcher John Cook.
Cook’s study has been thoroughly debunked by experts who found the actual “consensus” is scarcely 0.3 percent.
Palermo has a Ph.D. from Cornell University in American History, with minor fields in Anthropology and Modern Latin America.
He has two M. A.s, one from Cornell in American History and one from San Jose State University in History. His B.A. is from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he doubled majored in Sociology and Anthropology.
He currently teaches history at Sacramento State, where his bio lists his specialization as “U.S., twentieth-century politics.”
Notably missing from his academic and work history is any sniff or whiff that he ever studied any hard science at all, much less that he majored in or has worked in the fields of climatology or meteorology.
I watched the interview and was really dumbfounded that someone so smart could be so lacking in common sense.
Bittle’s gripe basically is that Trump and his people have bigger pulpits than he does and loads more power to make their policies become realities for America and that’s SO NOT FAIR!
He is editor of something that he also writes for. IMHO, he already has a pulpit that is appropriate to his station in life. He’s a student, for crying out loud! Donald Trump is about 50 years older and won a national election.
But instead of pulling up his big boy panties and trying to understand why his side lost or, I don’t know, trying to understand what the opposition actually believes and thinking about how maybe we’re right, this immature twat promotes civil disobedience to try and force the opposition leadership to do things his way.
Then, when Carlson calls him out on it, he claims he was just joking. Uh … no. Carlson gave Bittle a chance to make his case on a very highly rated t.v. news show. Sadly, the only thing he accomplished was to show us what a rotten job his parents did of raising him.
What do you want to bet he’s got a closet full of Participation Trophies at home?
As my dear Honors English teacher, Mrs. Gladys Ford, used to say, “Your powers of observation are exceeded only by your affection for the obvious.” I sure loved that woman. Most kids hated her because she made them think or she flunked them.
D.A. Refusing to Prosecute Planned Parenthood Selling Baby Parts Was Defeated, Replacement Fires Her Staff You may remember Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson, the faux “pro-life” Republican who refused to prosecute accused neck-twisting Houston abortionist Doug Karpen. She also later flipped a grand jury that was supposed to investigate Planned Parenthood, but instead indicted pro-life journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt. Daleiden and Merritt’s charges were later dismissed after it was revealed that Anderson had violated the law to indict them. Illustrating that old adage — “What goes around comes around” — Anderson was soundly defeated in November.
But it gets better.
Her replacement has notified 40 prosecutors that their services are no longer needed.
MORE BAD NEWS FOR BABY KILLERS Texas officially kicking Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid
Texas health officials on Tuesday delivered a final legal notice to nix the funding Planned Parenthood receives through the Medicaid program In a move that could affect thousands of low-income women, state health officials on Tuesday delivered a final legal notice to defund the organization from the Medicaid program through which it provides family planning and women’s health services to the poor. Planned Parenthood had previously received $3.1 million in Medicaid funding, but those dollars will be nixed in 30 days, according to the notice which was obtained by The Texas Tribune.
Walker urges Trump to restore power to the states MADISON, Wis. – Gov. Scott Walker is offering President-elect Donald Trump some Tenth Amendment advice on governing.
Walker, whose ambition for the White House was run over early by the Trump train, urges the incoming Republican president to restore state control and ease “incessant federal overreach.”
Can Republican senators get to 60 seats in 2018? Nevertheless, the Senate already bears watching — not to see whether Democrats can retake the body in 2018, which seems unlikely now, but to see whether Republicans can strengthen their hold on the Senate and strengthen the hand of President Trump.
Scarborough Warns: Republicans Will Be ‘Wiped Out’ in 2018 if They Go Too Far Right
Scarborough drew the analogy to the 1994, and more specifically to the 2010 midterm elections, when Dems suffered cataclysmic losses after an emboldened Obama admin governed from the left in its first two years.
Scarborough misses an important point, in the view of this Insurrectionist. Dems didn’t get punished in 2010 because of the abstract notion that they governed too far to the left. They lost because their liberal policies failed. The economy remained in the doldrums. And people could see that Obamacare was heading for failure.
[CtH: A poll I saw yesterday supports the author, not Scarborough. NONE of the top issues for voters were social issues, like abortion, climate change, and gay marriage. The top ones were the economy and national security.]
The Italian tenor had reportedly been courted by Trump in person last week after a performance at Madison Square Garden in New York, and was said to be pondering the offer.
Trump is known to be a huge fan of the blind singer, and has previously booked Bocelli to perform at a private party at his club in Florida.
However, under pressure from a backlash by his fans on social media, Bocelli has now stepped back from the proposed performance.
[CtH: I’m sorry to hear he’s decided to be a spineless wimp. It only emboldens these leftist bullies to keep on doing this garbage.]
FedEx offers group discount to NRA. Predictable liberal freakout follows
First the good news for all of you NRA members. (I include this because I didn’t even know about it, so perhaps you didn’t either.) Federal Express is offering a shipping discount for all of us! That’s really nice of them. It’s one of only many partnership deals you can receive. The Art Of Mackin’ — Author FREAKS When Tucker Carlson Reads Passages From His Own Book
Nasheed — who writes on a variety of subjects including picking up chicks and the subversive nature of systemic racism — tweeted that Trump’s nominees include members of “a white supremacists [sic] sect that literally throw up Nazi salutes.”
I SAW THIS LAST NIGHT. CARLSON DESCRIBED HOW THIS RACE-HUSTLING SCUM WROTE ABOUT TELLING WOMEN ANYTHING IN ORDER TO CON THEM INTO LAYING DOWN AND SPREADING THEIR LEGS. HE ALSO USED THE TERM ‘ALT-RIGHT’ AT LEAST 20 TIMES DURING THE INTERVIEW. APPARENTLY HE HAS TO DEPEND ON HIS TALKING POINTS LIKE MOST LEFTARDS DO. HE ALSO CLAIMED HIS SEDUCTION TIPS WERE “COMEDIC.” HE REITERATED THAT AT LEAST 5 TIMES.
“You say, ‘the number one lame thing men say to get sex? I love you.’ You describe this as the ‘bold lie approach,’” he continued. “And then you say this, ‘if a woman isn’t ready for sex you 1) question her maturity 2) minimize the significance of sex and 3) tell her what you want to hear.”
Members of an underground pro-Hillary Clinton Facebook group are livid after the operator announced she would be cashing in on the page with a book deal.
News that Pantsuit Nation founder Libby Chamberlain would be putting out a tome next May based on comments from the popular page — which has some 4 million members — prompted a flood of angry comments calling the Brooklin, Maine, woman a sellout.
THE DEMOCRATS CAN’T ACCEPT THAT THEY WERE SOUNDLY DEFEATED, IN PART, BECAUSE WHITE CHRISTIANS ARE SICK OF HAVING THIS KIND OF CRAP SHOVED IN OUR FACE AT EVERY TURN. The ornaments either had two gay Josephs or two lesbian Marys kneeling before baby Jesus.
‘They blasphemously portray the Lord Jesus being parented by a homosexual couple. What depths will the LGBT lobby stoop to in order to try and normalise their behaviour?” Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern, a group that fights for the return of Christianity to the United Kingdom, said in the statement.
[CtH: So much for all that “tolerance” and “respect for others’ traditions” that they talk about so sanctimoniously.]
This was deleted once for violating Youtube’s policy on bullying. What it is is a spoiled brat badly in need of an ass-whoopin’.
The crux of the debate centered around the conference theme: “Fighting Anti-Blackness.” Apparently it was not communicated to students that the conference would have a particular theme this year. At the event, held at UC Irvine, students of different minority groups began arguing when it became known that the conference would focus almost exclusively on discrimination against the African American community.
As part of the Paris climate agreement reached a year ago, the United States pledged to donate $3 billion over four years to the Green Climate Fund, a multinational fund aimed at helping poor nations adapt to the most severe climate impacts and develop renewable sources of energy. So far, the administration has provided $500 million to the fund.
YOU THINK YOU’VE SEEN THIS, BUT YOU HAVEN’T. IT IS AN EDIT OF THE ORIGINAL CELEBRITY WHINE-A-THON INTO A POSITIVE TRUMP MESSAGE.
“In the seminal decision of Ray v. Blair, the Supreme Court made clear electors act at the privilege of the state that empowers them, and do NOT enjoy any special right to vote as they please.
“Article II, section 1 of the Constitution gives states the rights to select their electors as they please, including a right to require party and candidate loyalty.”

Dec 19, 2016: Tucker Carlson on effort to get Electors not to vote Trump. Keep in mind while listening to Donna Brazile that she is the one who sent Hillary Clinton debate questions ahead of time, a fact that was revealed by the leaked emails. This video is a good view. [10:38]
Tucker Carlson Tonight: Political observations from La-La Land.
“Having an unqualified person in the Oval Office is a cause for concern.” Yeah, a lot of us have been concerned about this for the past 8 years.
Tucker Carlson Tonight: Because nothing says unity like an Electoral College coup.
“We’re trying to unite the country!” This only makes sense inside the black hole that is the Liberal Mind, where things like “unite” and “bipartisan” actually mean “We get what we want and right-wingers don’t.”
This is nothing new. Remember back in October 2010 when Obama said Democrats were in the driver’s seat now. “We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”
Professor Macula: “Casting a vote for a candidate who doesn’t exhibit the values of honesty, tolerance, equal protection, and respect is civically irresponsible.”
Wow. Did he actually support Hillary Clinton … the candidate who has proven herself to be dishonest again and again, who called all Trump supporters “a basket full of deplorables”, who said the Catholic Church needs to change its teachings about abortion, and who promised to continue Obama’s policy of infringing on the religious freedoms of Catholics and Christians who oppose abortion and gay marriage?
These things were not said or done by Clinton supporters, but by Clinton HERSELF. Sheesh.
And, ROFLL, “weasly inference.” Awesome, Tucker. Just awesome.
