https://tunnel2towers.org/The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/charles-payne-returning-eric-bolling-061627600.html
The article comes real close to telling the outcome of Payne’s lawsuit but never does say how it concluded…”At the time, Payne denied the allegations and said he would fight to clear his name.”
Seems to me that he must have either settled with money or it actually was proven that he hadn’t had an affair with a woman who then charged FOX never had her on again after she’d broken the affair off.
My question is this: What man fights to clear his name if he did do the deed? Wouldn’t you rather hide and pay then fight, which could get uglier? I think he was probably innocent, tho what do I know?
ANyway, Payne is back. And NO articles I could find are saying how the suit concluded. From the leftwing media, if he IS found innocent, I’d say THAT’s why they’re not giving that information…God forbid he was innocent, right? 🙂

Its a tough choice, folks. Stay or evacuate. The forecasters can be mocked for predicting either way. After all, the science has only been practical since the launching of weather satellites. Before that what did we have to make predictions, really? The Farmers Almanac? In reality, it was probably the most trusted at the time due to its accuracy. As for Russ Limbaugh, hey! The guy was wrong and wasn’t alone in his thinking either, but he should now admit it.

I thought I heard my name. It’s a beautiful day outside. The calm before the storm. Our windows are boarded, we’ve got tons of supplies, and we’re in hunkering down mode. We’re used to these storms and we pray to God that we’ll get though this one, too. That said, your prayers are gratefully accepted. .

The problem, Mal, is that the predictions aren’t all that accurate, and a seven day forecast is seen by the public to carry the same weight as a three day forecast. Until you get to the three day level though, they’re not really “actionable”. The mayor and city officials should know, BETTER.

Here’s the forecast track error for a hurricane (within 67% accuracy) based upon when forcast made.
67th Percentile
012h – 29 n mi
024h – 45 n mi
036h – 63 n mi
048h – 78 n mi
072h – 107n mi
096h – 159n mi
120h – 211n mi
So basically a track forecast 12 hours out is 9-10x more accurate than one five days out.

Part of that hubbub over Limbaugh’s comments stem from THIS attitude by the leftie media: Huffpo called THIS “misinformation” spread by Limbaugh – “Al Gore and other climate change activists had warned of bigger and more powerful storms hitting the U.S. every year because of climate change.” I also recall Gore implied we’d see a 20-ft sea rise about now in his first cash-raker scare flick.

Lemme just post my daily e-mail rant here — first two paragraphs germane:
Beautimous day shapin up out there. Clear, cool, just a puff of breeze, big ol’ nearly mull foon. Not a hint of rough weather . . . . ‘cept there seems to be somethin wrong with Venus this mornin — got some kinda bulge on the left side, like somebody left a door hangin open.
Or it coulda just been a floater in my eye. Anyway, checked the forecast and as of 0500 today, apparently all we’re gonna get here next to Mobile Bay is some breeziness tomorrow and Monday, but not even a hint of the Irma’s outer rain skirts.
Dawg made passing remarks at several people this mornin, one of whom was a scroungy-lookin stray cat sleepin by the coi pond at the Japanese restaurant. Heard a long-haired kid talkin to his girlfriend by the Tom Thumb, sayin, “Next week I s’pose we’ll be worried about Brazil or Australia or somethin.”
Pretty astute comment. I mean, the media goes into a feeding frenzy on whatever for about a week, then they charge madly off to the next crisis and beat us to death with that one until they figger we’re pretty much fed up with it.
Kid’s pushin 6’ 3” with long scraggly blonde hair, works the mid-to-dawn shift at the Tom Thumb about 3 days a week. His girlfriend, or at least I assume she is ‘cause sometimes when there’re no customers, they swap spit out front waitin for somebody to come in, spoke to Monsterdawg once and he told her to [deleted], so she doesn’t say anything to us any more.
She’s maybe 5-foot nothin with muskrat-colored hair scrunched up in a tight bun at the back of her head like she’s smugglin migraines or somethin.
Got me to thinkin, tho, ‘bout what the crisis du semaine will be when the producers and editors decide we’ve seen enough of people being rescued in flat-bottomed boats in Miami, or St. Pete, or Tampa, or wherever.
I can tell ya one thing that prob’ly WON’T be headline news – a Democrat senator indicted and being tried for corruption. Ain’t that a kick in the head. If that (Menendez) were Rubio or Coats or McCarthy or Ryan, CNN and MSNBC would be all over it like Kansas crows on roadkill.
Prob’ly a given that Pope Algore of the Church of AnthroGlobal Warming will use Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Katia as undeniable proof of his predictions that civilization as we know it will end five years ago. Sure would like to see CNN or MSNBC do a realistic expose of his scaminess.
And why can’t somebody suckin around for a Pulitzer put together some facts and figures on the fact that university students are being encouraged by universities to use their right to freedom of speech to cancel the right of free speech to anyone who doesn’t agree with them?
Hell, if you want to see just how tolerant a liberal is, just show him how he’s wrong and stand back. Seems to me that the biggest source of ignorance, unpleasantness, and PC angst is universities themselves. Could be we’d all get along a helluva lot better if we scrapped the whole idea and went with post-secondary trade schools and on-line classes for the liberal arts.
I’m impatiently waitin for the Trump team to get to work on tax reform. I still say that if DJT appoints two conservative justices to SCotUS and brings sensible reforms and restructuring to our personal and business tax codes, he’ll be the most successful PotUS since Reagan, even more so than FDR.
If he doesn’t, just keep in mind the fact that the only thing separating a welfare state from stagnant totalitarianism is time. We are almost too far down that path already to turn things around. If we can’t take restrictions off of business, bring down the costs of health care and entitlements, and get rid of the dodges and loopholes in our tax system, we’ll drown in our own national debt.
But . . . instead of pullin off the bandage all at once by raising age limits on retirement, Social Security, and MediCare for example, our entrenched, self-serving, party-line, stuffed-shirt pezzanovanti will keep on keepin on, caving to the special interests while they gorge themselves at the gummint cornucopia.
All Li’l Kim and Khamenei have to do is wait. They don’t have to build nuke-tipped ICBMs to take us out . . . we’ll do it for them with gridlock and debt. At the rate Congress gets stuff done, there won’t even BE a United States 50 years from now, just a big IOU hangin from the torch of Lady Liberty and a mob of fat-assed diabetics arguin over the last bottle of Evian.

Because there was at least last year a 2.4 billion pool of money paid out to ‘scientists’ who would promte the global warming scam. *money* as usual. Russia admitted the data was cherry picked. The chick who was head of the UN IPCC STATED that the global warming story (scam) had only economic goals – to put Capitalism out of business within 150 years. It’s on the internet.

CO2 is 4 tenths of one percent of the atmosphere. Plants take in CO2 to live and return oxygen. It’s a self sustaining system. More CO2 ? More plants – more oxygen.

Something in context…. Watching a little TV – So a sheriff or police chief – whatever was talking about people who ignore evacuation orders – “We’re not going to go and arrest them, they just need to know that we’re also not going to come and try to save them”. Works for me. I think the people who can protect themselves are few and in the above context will not be adversely affected, but the vast majority of people are not able to protect themselves and do need the authorities to tell them to skeedaddle.
For a number of reasons I believe I’m in the upper 2 % of the population regards knowing/understanding that is going on. I can be exempt from evacuation ‘orders’ like FJ and will accept my fate, where 98% of the pop really does need someone to tell them to get out, put their booties on, put their coat on (cause it’s gonna be Cold tomorrow!) , take an umbrella (Cause it mght Rain!) etc. ad etc infinitum.

When I was a kid I saw many of these mfg companies spewing neon green stuff and all sorts of other things into the Ohio River daily all day long. The Ohio river when I was around 10 to 20 yrs old was a chemical experiment.
A few miles North of that was J&L Steel. They were pumping out pollution by the buckets. I could literally look up into the sky and see a constant rain of Mica particles from the steel making process. If you put a glass of milk outside your window, in a couple hours, it would have a 1/4 inch of particulate on it that you didn’t know that the heck it was.
