What is discussed in this brief video presentation is exactly what we previously outlined.   The Paris Global Climate Change conference and any agreement stemming from within them, find passage into U.S. policy through the TPP deal.

Any climate change treaty that President Obama might sign up to will have approval not through congress, but through the binding international process contained within the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Tom Donohue spent over $20 million, in just the Senate, in a six month period, to get TPA -the vehicle for TPP passage- through the docket – * facilitated by Ted Cruz/Paul Ryan and the glorious “fast-track” rider within TPA (trade promotion authority) Cruz constructed for him.

Check out Mitch McConnell’s inbound contributions here. How much do you think Wall Street will send Tom Donohue to keep TPP alive and get it passed ?

$50 million ? $500 million ?  A billion?

Trillions are at stake on that single agenda item alone. 40% of the entire globe’s production of goods is involved, and if China and Russia join (which looks likely) then the numbers increase exponentially. (more…)

The U.N organizers of the Paris Climate Change summit had requested that each countries leader limit their speech to three minutes.  Dear Leader was having none of that.

Obama ignores UN request that each of the 140 leaders should speak for only 3 minutes. He spoke for more than 14 minutes. #COP21

Obama knew inherently that he alone was vastly more important than all other speakers, and he was intent on expressing his magnanimity so the participants could all benefit from his brilliance.

After several excess minutes the horrible event organizers began breaking into the worlds most magnificent words with a buzzer in a vein attempt to end his oration. However, Dear Leader battled through their noise and kept everyone transfixed with his intensely wonderful reading. Obama knew the international audience wanted to hear his opinion much more than all those lesser officials.

Various radical leftist groups and professional anarchists swarmed the Place de la République in Paris where flowers and candles were placed in memory of those killed by terrorists.

The “green” activists, communists and various agenda driven left wing groups destroyed the memorial and used the candles to attack French riot police.   Much of their expressed anger is directed toward the new rules within a declared three month state of emergency following the terrorist attacks.

(Via France24) […]  France’s interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Sunday evening that 208 people had been arrested in connection with the clashes, of which 178 had been charged.

Speaking from an EU-Turkey summit in Brussels, French President François Hollande condemned the actions of the activists involved.

“These disruptive elements have nothing to do with defenders of the environment,” he said. (more…)

…Only it keeps coming disguised as at least eight Islamic Terrorists wearing explosive vests while shooting French people.  But not to worry international leaders will be there within a week to discuss the use of hockey stick graphs in combating the current EU rape crisis.

According to President Obama, the recently elected leftist Canadian Prime Minister, and various euro-socialist left-wing open-border types, the most significant danger to the citizen sheep amid our collective nations is “global warming“.

Well, they say it, so it must be true.

We can only reasonably reconcile reality and political pontification by accepting the term “global warming” now means “Islamic Jihadists carrying AK-47 rifles and explosive uniforms“. (more…)

Every wonder why we have been supportive of Matt Bevin for the past three years?  Newly elected Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin shares his views on the EPA authority and overreach as it relates to Kentucky Coal-Mining.

Full-throated unapologetic constitutional conservative. (more…)

Her campaign knew that not only was Bernie Sanders going to make this an issue, but that she would certainly never get union endorsements if she supported it.

Unfortunately, the Trans-Pacific Partnership was essentially one of her key economic strategies when Clinton was Secretary of State.  So it’s not going to be too easy to walk back support for something she helped create (video below fold).

Transparently predictable political maneuvering.  With Joe Biden about to enter race and Bernie Sanders dominating from the left – Hillary throws elbows:

“I was in a unique position as secretary of State at the start of this process. And not wanting to interfere with ongoing decision making that the president and Sec. Kerry have to do in order to make whatever final decisions they need. So I thought this would be decided by now, and therefore I could tell you whether I agree or disagree, but it hasn’t been decided and I feel now I’ve got a responsibility to you and voters who ask me about this. I think it is imperative that we look at the Keystone Pipeline as what I believe it is, a distraction from important work we have to do on climate change. And unfortunately from my perspective, one that interferes with our ability to move forward with all the other issues. Therefore I oppose it. “ (link)

“We are the world… we are the children;  We are the one’s who make a better life, so let’s start giving….  There’s a dream we’re making, we’re saving our own lives, it true we’ll make a better world, just you and me….

Sound familiar?  Could you sing it if we only provided the first stanza?  Most likely the answer is yes.  The bigger question is “why”?

How about another one?  More subtle maybe; this one from 2011:

This week’s biggest Africa news isn’t from Africa. It’s from a massive online and social media campaign launched by the American advocacy group Invisible Children to capture indicted war criminal and Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony. 

As with their previous campaigns Displace Me and How it Ends, Invisible Children launched Stop Kony 2012 on Tuesday to mobilize the next generation of young Americans to help end the conflict in northern Uganda – except this time, they called on their mostly white, privileged, and educated youth followers to get involved through web-activism on their Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and YouTube accounts.

Just in the nick of time.  A federal judge today blocked the Obama administration’s water pollution rule mere hours before it was set to begin implementation.  Under the new EPA/Obama regulations puddles, ditches and all rain accumulation geographies come under the jurisdiction of the EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Any area subject to rain water transit would have to meet strict EPA rules and compliance standards.  Yes, that means your driveway, puddles upon your property, the ditch in front of your house, or the transverse area around your guttered downspouts would be subject to the inspection and authority of the EPA.

WASHINGTON DC – A federal judge in North Dakota acted late Thursday to block the Obama administration’s controversial water pollution rule, hours before it was due to take effect.
Judge Ralph Erickson of the District Court for the District of North Dakota found that the 13 states suing to block the rule met the conditions necessary for a preliminary injunction, including that they would likely be harmed if courts didn’t act and that they are likely to succeed when their underlying lawsuit against the rule is decided.
The decision is a major roadblock for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers, who were planning Friday to begin enforcing the Waters of the United States rule, expanding federal jurisdiction over small waterways like streams and wetlands. (more…)

In 2012 it was revealed that Obama administration officials used pseudonym email accounts to hide their communications.  EPA head Lisa Jackson became embroiled in a scandal when it was discovered that she subverted FOIA concerns by using an account under the name “Richard Windsor”, a name attributed to her dog.
Later, as the EPA scandal evolved, Lisa Jackson quit her position. 

Now, it appears that IRS official Lois Lerner was doing the exact same thing.  Using the email name “Toby Miles” to hide her in house, and ex parte, communication.  The IRS plot thickens.
WASHINGTON DC – The IRS admitted to a federal court there was a second personal email account that Lois Lerner, the official at the heart of the Tea Party targeting scandal, used to conduct agency business.
The email account apparently was set up under the name, “Toby Miles,” which sources tell Fox News is the name of Lerner’s dog.   (more…)
