Newsweek Science Editor on Global Warming: This Year’s Weather Extremes ‘Reached Biblical Proportions’
By Noel Sheppard NewsBusters readers are quite familiar with the frantic hyperbole that often come from the keystrokes of Newsweek’s so-called science editor Sharon Begley. On Saturday she penned another breathless doozy with the Hitchcockian sub-headline “In a world of climate change, freak storms are the new normal. Why we’re unprepared for the harrowing future”: […]

Japan, China And Russia Don’t Believe What Gillard Tells Australia
By Andrew Bolt Which makes it even crazier for Australia to slash its own emissions, unilaterally: AUSTRALIA’S mining industry has seized on the refusal of three major economies to sign on to a new round of Kyoto Protocol emissions cuts, as Tony Abbott warned even a business-endorsed $10-a-tonne carbon price would cost jobs. Russia, Japan […]
Memorial Day 2011

How Dare This TV Ad Tell Such Lies?
By Andrew Bolt Count the lies in this one still from the ad in which Michael Caton and Cat Blanchett tell us to say “yes” to Julia Gillard’s carbon dioxide tax: - No, our skies aren’t black with soot. - No, this tax won’t clear the skies. - No, this isn’t about carbon but carbon […]
Sunday Music – The Admiral’s Daughter
May 29, 2011 by TonyfromOz
Today’s music video is ‘The Admiral’s Daughter’ from Ruth Wallis. This video was posted at You Tube by RCALennon I first remember hearing this song as a young boy, probably in the late 50′s, and then again in the early 60′s. My Dad would (very) occasionally get it out and play it, and then carefully […]
Tea Party Remains Movement in Search of a Leader
By Star Parker The question on the table today is whether revolutionary Tea Party sentiments that unseated 25 percent of the Democrats in Congress in 2010 have now vanished into a whimper.

Pay Freedom Forward, Properly Arm Our Armed Forces
By Mike Brownfield As Americans begin the Memorial Day weekend, we remember those who have given their lives to defend the freedoms and way of life that we enjoy.

A Lesson In Sacrifice For The Planet From The Woman In The Luxury Audi
By Andrew Bolt It’s not just the “let them eat cake” attitude but the hypocrisy that makes this a bad career move: CATE Blanchett … has teamed with Packed to the Rafters actor Michael Caton to be the faces of a series of TV ads branded “Say Yes”, which will screen nationally from tonight. The […]
Boredom

Fact One: Emissions Will Be Higher, Not Lower
By Andrew Bolt Terry McCrann says the latest call to stop man-made warming ignores reality: IF the science is as settled as climate commissioner Will Steffen asserts, then the Gillard government has only one rational policy option.
