Extinction Rebellion protesters begin blockade of central London... Ecology... In the End, it's the Only Thing that Matters... Wildfires in California, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Ice Melting in the Arctic... 

On Monday morning, a group of demonstrators with trees, plants and solar panels in tow barricaded Waterloo Bridge, one of five locations being targeted by environmental campaigners in the city as part of the protest, which is expected to continue for at least a week.
The demonstrations are part of a global campaign, orchestrated by British climate organization Extinction Rebellion, which includes rallies in at least 80 cities across more than 33 countries, demanding governments "take decisive action on the climate and ecological emergency."

STOP FOSSIL FUELS. BUILD 100% RENEWABLES.

We are standing up to the fossil fuel industry to stop all new coal, oil and gas projects and build clean energy for all.

The kid is all right: Friday's worldwide climate protest sparked by Nobel-nominated teen... 

It's been quite a week for 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, a Swedish climate activist who was nominated on Wednesday for a Nobel Peace Prize.

On Friday, the streets took over, as tens of thousands of students in 112 countries turned out to join her call for action to combat climate change.

In the U.S. alone, some 100,000 young people were participating in at least 400 separate protests in all 50 states, organizers said. 

In Washington, around the U.S. Capitol, hundreds of students gathered Friday bearing signs saying “I Want You To Panic,” “Time is Ticking” and “It’s Our Future.”

Worldwide, the turnout for the "School Strike For Climate" protests at some 1,700 locations from Berlin, to Hong Kong and from New Delhi to the edge of the Arctic Circle.


Nobel Peace Prize for Trump? Yes, he has taken action that ended the war between North and South Korea.

 It appears that the talks with "little rocket man" will happen right before the elections of 2018. Trump's technique worked. Boosting the Republicans victories in House and Senate Races. Unless the Democrats magically come up with some strategy that makes them look good, we are doomed to have a Republicrime controlled government for years. Last night's White House Correspondents Dinner did not go well. They had a comedian that was not funny. Maybe they would have had a better speech if they had a white male telling the jokes... The woman just seemed mean.

Trump made a campaign speech in Michigan and said many quotable sound bites. He says that the Democrats are in favor of Open Borders and Higher Taxes. The Democrats do not have any obvious answer to that... What are we in favor of? I don't know... Medicare for all?

Trump's anti-immigrant policy makes sense. We simply do not benefit from having non-English speaking people move here. While some people call it racist (and therefore not a good idea), it is popular with the majority of Americans. In Sacramento, CA we have had thousands of Syrians migrate here. What could they possibly do for a living? We already have an excess of below average intellegence workers filling low skill jobs... What we ought to do is end all these CrazyWars. If we did not blow up Syria, we wouldn't be getting Syrian Refugees. They could live in their "shithole" countries and do whatever they do there... No one has really answered Trump's Question. "Why do we allow people from shithole countries to immigrate here?"

If we stopped blowing up countries in the middle east we could save a lot of money wasted on war. We could cut the pentagon's budget in half and use the money for something useful. OR... refund it to the taxpayers.
