Daily Derp: Australia No Longer Has Use For Climate Scientists And Much More Derp!

Is Australia being run by Harper?

"With an ax rather than a scalpel, Australia’s federal science agency last week chopped off its climate research arm in a decision that has stunned scientists and left employees dispirited.

As many as 110 out of 140 positions at the atmosphere and oceans division at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) will be cut, Larry Marshall, the agency’s chief executive, told staff Friday. Another 120 positions will be cut from the land and water program. Across the agency, 350 climate staff will be moved into new roles unrelated to their specialty."

It's salty ham tears and begging for the finger wagging fear-mongering to continue all the way down.

This caught my eye:

"...The nation (Australia) is already the driest on Earth..."

They can't even get that basic fact straight. I count 41 drier countries than Australia; which ranks just above Canada.

Either they're lying or incompetent. I mean, if a moron like me can just look it up what does that say about them and their mission and mandate?

There isn't a muzzle big enough...

Other than that, the Lysenkoism is strong in the climate science ranks and it will one day peter out.

Charles Sebesta disbarred.

"A former prosecutor who used false testimony and withheld evidence to send a now-exonerated man to Texas' death row has lost an appeal to overturn his disbarment.


The Dallas Morning News ( http://bit.ly/1TPB1fq ) reports that the Board of Disciplinary Appeals on Monday upheld the decision of the State Bar of Texas to disbar Charles Sebesta. The board's decision is final.


The bar revoked the Burleson County district attorney's law license in June, finding he had engaged in prosecutorial misconduct in the case of Anthony Graves.


Graves was sentenced to death in 1994 in the slayings of six people in South Texas two years earlier. A federal appeals court reversed his conviction in 2006."

May a special place in hell be waiting for you Sebesta you piece of shit. He should face jail time.

And that goes for those like Sebesta out there who have yet to be caught. Some may even find their way into positions of political power. May they one day find a fate deserving of their evil actions.

Al-Jazeera:

"...Following up on campaign promises he made last year to withdraw Canada's jets, Trudeau said on Monday that his country's contribution to the fight against ISIL would be extended until the end of March 2017 - but would be "a non-combat mission".

"It is important to understand that while air strike operations can be very useful to achieve short-term military and territorial gains, they do not on their own achieve long-term stability for local communities," Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa.

"We will be supporting and empowering local forces to take their fight directly to ISIL so that kilometre by kilometre they can reclaim their homes, their land and their future."


Yeh, right.

I'm sure the ter'rists are gonna make a distinction between us bombing or training.

I'd like to knho are they training to reclaim their homes, their land and their future? Would that be the non-existent "not-ISIS rebels" that McCain and Obama were so eager to help? Those same local forces loyal to Assad?

And why would a 'man of the world' progressive like Trudeau be, then, supporting Assad, right?

Not even $5 billion in subsidies are enough.

But I thought it was impossible for black to be racist!

"According to the police report, during his discussion with the officer, Young became "belligerent" and ended up saying "I'll slap you in the face with money you f------ Cuban."

The abdication of journalism continues:

"In 2009, Marc Ambinder, formerly a contributing editor of The Atlantic, emailed Clinton spokesperson Philippe Reines for an advance copy of the speech the then-secretary of state planned to make at a Council on Foreign Relations event. Reines emailed back with a few conditions: Ambinder had to describe the speech as “muscular,” and he had to take a dismissive view of the seating positions of some of her rivals. Reines also wrote: “Don’t say you were blackmailed!”


Ambinder emailed back “got it.” He complied fully. Here was the first paragraph of his article about the speech (emphasis Gawker’s):

When you think of President Obama’s foreign policy, think of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That’s the message behind a muscular speech that Clinton is set to deliver today to the Council on Foreign Relations. The staging gives a clue to its purpose: seated in front of Clinton, subordinate to Clinton, in the first row, will be three potentially rival power centers: envoys Richard Holbrooke and George Mitchell, and National Security Council senior director Dennis Ross."
But remember folks, Faux News is the problem!

Speaking of pedantic shill journalists check the latest from David 'The Token Conservative Gimp' Brooks. Dave is back with 'I miss Barack Obama':

"...No, Obama has not been temperamentally perfect. Too often he’s been disdainful, aloof, resentful and insular. But there is a tone of ugliness creeping across the world, as democracies retreat, as tribalism mounts, as suspiciousness and authoritarianism take center stage.

Obama radiates an ethos of integrity, humanity, good manners and elegance that I’m beginning to miss, and that I suspect we will all miss a bit, regardless of who replaces him...."

The NYT commenters, I see are still unthinking, pompous gasbags.

Speaking of people who think life's a box of chocolates...

Check these tweets out by Matt Yglesias.

Yes. Yes he did. What's amazing is he gets paid for this crap.

The only thing I think befits his skills is him asking if customers would like an apple pie with their McCoffee.

Europe is not well:


"...A week after the EU accepted that some members may never go further in sharing sovereignty, as part of the price for keeping Britain in the club, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg pledged to pursue "ever closer union" at a meeting in Rome, where they founded the bloc in 1957.

"We are concerned about the state of the European project," the foreign ministers of the Six said in a statement after their talks. "Indeed, it appears to be facing very challenging times. It is in these critical times that we, as founding members, feel particularly called upon."


France is over-bureaucratized, Italy's growth is persistently stagnant, while Germany has perplexed with its overly open immigration policies. Merkel has irresponsibly put undue pressure on its law enforcement as a result. Its banks, meanwhile, are increasingly hostile and aggressive and this could cause major trouble in Europe.

Something creepy is going on with cops:

"Peters Police Chief Harry Fruch certainly isn’t shedding much light on the matter:
“If the photograph was taken by the individual, male or female between the ages of 12 and under 18, she’s as much a guilty party as the person who received it. She is not a victim in this case or he is not a victim,” he said."
Weirdo. 

Comment:

"Time for someone to look exactly why police want to make criminals of people at every turn. A peaceful society is not a profitable one. Cui bono?"

And so the apologists go into over drive in protecting the most evil Hillary.

Paul Tassi of Forbes is taken to task by Reason's Matt Welch and its community.

These, remember folks, are our intellectual masters dictating and influencing thought. All we can do on our end is report, discuss, and mock.

No, Paul. She can't be excused you fucken dolt. THINK.

/pushes Paul's forehead with palm.

EPIC SETTLE FOR HILLARY TROLLING.

Just for you Paul.

Enough of this.

How did colleges go from being known for tons of debauchery, drunken parties, and immature behavior to these "children of the corn" motherfuckers?
