And now it's global COOLING! Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year By David Rose

·        Almost a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than in 2012
·        BBC reported in 2007 global warming would leave Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013
·        Publication of UN climate change report suggesting global warming caused by humans pushed back to later this month
A chilly Arctic summer has left nearly a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year – an increase of 60 per cent.
The rebound from 2012’s record low comes six years after the BBC reported that global warming would leave the Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013.
Instead, days before the annual autumn re-freeze is due to begin, an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia’s northern shores.

Evolution is Not Science by Mitch Cervinka, M.A. Mathematics
There are several fundamental characteristics that identify a field of study as being “scientific“. Genuine science is objective and invites scrutiny and investigation. It does not ridicule the critics of its conclusions, but instead silences their criticisms by setting forth the evidence from which those conclusions are drawn. Genuine science seeks the truth that explains the observed evidence. It does not prejudice the investigation by ruling out, from the start, hypotheses that may very well provide the best explanation for the observed evidence. Genuine science rejects any hypothesis that consistently fails to fit observed scientific evidence. It does not persistently assume that the fault lies in the evidence rather than in the hypothesis itself. On all three counts, the commonly-accepted “Theory of Evolution” fails the test of being scientific. With the passing years, proponents of this failed theory are behaving more and more like religious dogmatists in their unwillingness to submit the foundations of their theory to open inquiry and discussion. Instead, they heap scorn and ridicule on their critics, insisting that anyone who has the audacity to question the truth of their sacred theory must be either stupid, insane or evil. This is the tactic, for example, of Richard Dawkins, who was reported by the New York Times as saying: … It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid, or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that). … At the heart of the problem is the fact that Evolution, disguised as a viable scientific theory, is actually a tool of religious propaganda and cultural domination, used by those who hold to the religion of Naturalism. Naturalism is the belief that all things, including the origin of life, can be explained purely in terms of natural phenomena, without the intervention of a supernatural being or deity. Ironically, many of the dogmatic proponents of Evolution may not even be aware that this is the religion they hold. Most seem unable to distinguish their religion from their “science”, and thus pursue their opposition to a Creator on what they suppose are purely “scientific” grounds. However, their “science” rules out the possibility of an intelligent Creator from the very outset. This consideration is not demanded by scientific evidence, but by prevailing philosophical ideas about what science ought to be. The problem with this position is that, if God really did create the universe, scientists are forbidden to acknowledge the evidence of it, and must substitute a false, naturalistic explanation in its place. This philosophical bias is neither objective nor scientific, but amounts to religious prejudice. We should never forget that any statement about God is inherently religious, whether it be the theist’s affirmation or the atheist’s denial….

Feinstein to Homeland Security: Stop Enforcing Immigration Law by Tim Brown
Could the people of California please stop electing the "ugly face of tyranny," Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), to the United States senate? Not only has she been a treasonous senator in going after guns, and even including Canada and Mexico as part of the homeland, but on Tuesday she wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asking that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department, under DHS, stop enforcing immigration law. No, seriously, she did. In June 2012, she raised the issue that ICE was using I-9 worksite audits against agricultural employers in a letter to former ICE Director John Morton. At that time Feinstein wrote, "Many farmers and growers in California informed me that their business and livelihood are at risk due to a shortage of legal harvesters, pickers, pruners, packers, and farm workers. As you can imagine, with approximately 81,000 farms in California, I am very concerned that these audits will result in significant harm to the agricultural industry and the state's overall economy." In attempting to address her concerns about farmers not having willing and available domestic agricultural workers, (how many people are on food stamps and are unemployed in California?) she along with Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT), co-authored the Agricultural Worker Program, an agreement that was incorporated into the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, which passed the Senate in June 2013.

Dianne Feinstein Caught Lying About Her Past Gun Ban by Tim Brown
Dianne Feinstein's open, brazen, bald-faced lie about her intentions in the past, concerning weapons bans, are exposed by her own mouth. With her new weapons ban bill looming, it's time to know the real story. Feinstein really wants to take your Constitutional right to keep and bear arms away, making you defenseless. Senator Feinstein was asked on the PBS Newshour, "What do you say to people who support the right to own arms (Americans) that this is the 'camel's nose under the tent' and the next thing you'll be after is concealed carry weapons; you'll be after kinds of gun rights?" "Well that's just not true," Feinstein answered. "It wasn't true with the prior bill that was the law for ten years and I just think candidly that dog doesn't hunt." There she goes with hunting again! She was pressed, "Why shouldn't it be true? Why wouldn't you want to go after those other laws?" "Because that's not what I've done in the past and it's not what I'm doing right now," she exclaimed. However, a clip from a 60 minutes interview in 1995, following the passage of the first assault weapons ban, tells us a different story about what she wants to do. She said, “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States, for an outright ban, picking up everyone of them (every gun) Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in. I would have done it."
