I first heard AOC's dire prediction of the 12 year deadline, over 2 years ago. So, it's no longer 12 years to go till our demise is irreversible. It's less than 10 years. It was 14 years ago that Al Gore predicted that parts of Manhattan and Florida would be underwater within 15 years and many islands nations will have disappeared. We have 1 year to go. This should be one hell of a year. Polar bears were supposed to be extinct or nearing it by now, as well. Damn polar bears are refusing to go. They just keep increasing in numbers but Shhhhh!!!!. We're not supposed to know about that.

@july6949 What a delusional comment. The Soviet Union was using Socialism as the path to true Communism. That was their ultimate goal, except they just couldn't figure out how to implement it without things devolving into chaos. Also, Russia, in the nineties had economic problems, not because of a failed application of capitalism. It was because the rule of law wasn't implemented to go hand in hand with their changing economy. Capitalism without the rule of law can't work. Without a strong and vibrant legal system, you will get tyranny as people will always use self interest to get ahead. If you don't respect the law, you won't respect others and you will, most assuredly, abuse both the law and people.

It concerns them because the left is always accusing them of being alt-right. In fact, anyone that disagrees with the left is deemed to be alt-right. Call me a Nazi and I'll deny it, full force and vehemently. My family suffered too much in WW2 for me to have anything to do with them or any of their ideas. Call me a conservative and I'll agree with you. Hard work and personal responsibility are at the core of a strong human being and a nation. My work ethic and willingness to accept blame when I'm wrong allows me to grow as a man and a human being. That's doesn't make me a Nazi or alt-right.

Mystdragon He was talking about the early explorers that came to what is now the US. They landed in what is now South Carolina. Those same deforestation techniques were used all over the US. The Mound builders and their ancestors did the same all through the interior. Those first settlers couldn't comment on the whole of the US, only the part they were familiar with. It took centuries to discover and map the continent. Those settlers had no idea of the existence of tribes like the Comanche, Sioux and Blackfoot.

@CaesarCassius Copying and pasting the same thing over and over again isn't much of an argument and leaves no room for discussion. Endlessly, repeating the same statement is another form of mindless chanting. You should be a thinking, mature human being not a drone.

@erenjaeger1738 But it's also the land of the Aztecs who would cut your heart out and sacrifice it to their gods. I'm pretty sure that "buddy" knows this and is glad that he doesn't have to worry about a neighbouring nation, invading and using him as a sacrifice. Much better to live in a Christian NATION, that won't cut your heart out, than to live as a "nation tribe".

@michaelwilliamson4759 It's still the Holy Land whether it's under the control of Jews, Muslims, Crusaders, Mongols or Romans. Christianity and Judaism have their roots there and Islam also has roots there. Ishmael is known as the father of the Arab people who was the son of Abraham, the father of the Jews. You can't GET more holy than having the world's 2 largest religions having their roots in the area we now call Israel.

@aaronross6545 You forgot to add what Jesus said next. "But for God, ALL things are possible." Also, when asked who was worth of the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus replied "No one." That would include everyone, not just the rich. Once again, the message being "But for God, all things are possible.

@UntakenNick That's a whole different argument altogether. People get scholarships for all kinds of achievements, some academic, others in sports. It has to do with training for a future professional life. And yes, it is meritorious if you earn that scholarship by being the best athlete in your chosen field of athletics. I would be ashamed to take advantage of anyone that way, male or female, if I knew that I had an unearned advantage. It's a matter of integrity and it says a lot about society that this is even an issue. What's particularly galling is that the ones, who push this agenda, are claiming the moral high ground. They have no idea what morals or ethics are about.

@paimei7143 Socialism, as a general ideology, existed LONG before Marx came up with his ideas. Socialism is a social constructionist ideology and it has many facets on how it should be done. Marx advocated for a workers revolution, in which the workers would seize the means of production. Nazi stands for "National Socialist German Workers' Party". Notice the word "Worker's" party. The Nazi party is the worker's party and when the Nazi took power, that meant that the workers were now in control of the people of Germany and it's economy. The economy is the means of production and the German workers, the Nazis, were in control of the means of production. That's EXACTLY what Marx advocated for. Communists and Fascists see the path to socialism differently but in the end they're both socialists. They hate capitalism, the market economy, that allows the individual to choose what he wants to buy and from whom and the means of production reflects those desires. The state has very little to do with the market and then only when laws are broken. That's freedom. Fascists and communists don't believe in a market society and the means of production is controlled by the state. Fascists and Marxists are both socialist ideologies just like German shepherds and Yorkshire Terrier are both dogs. They're different but still belong to the same group.

I'm not a Christian but I do believe in Truth. I like to say that God is a metaphor for truth but I digress. Kevin Sorbo is a very honest and intelligent human being and I approve of this video.

@MrTachyon Why do the Spanish call the people of the Netherlands "holandés". Why are the Spanish trying to erase correct Netherlander roots, words and spellings. We resent the Spanish colonialism of our language and their past attempts at colonisation of our land. Is that what you want to hear? It's called language. We say it in our language and others say in theirs. Nothing sinister about it.

I checked it out and the clothing law hasn't passed yet. If passed, it will go into effect in 2023. Also, only companies with over 500 employees will be affected. Still.....it's insane and just another reason why California is so expensive. The homeless laws are a nightmare in California, with each district having its own ordinances and policies on how those ordinances are policed. If your contention that this homeless camping law is statewide, please give a source. I couldn't find one.

@11kravitzn You are sorely misinformed about the histories of the Democrat and Republican parties. The Republican Party formed in 1854 to fight against slavery, specifically the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854. The act was to create the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and would repeal the Missouri Compromise, allowing slavery to part of those 2 territories. This act was drafted by Stephan Douglas, a Democrat Senator. This started a series of conflicts against that act and the idea of allowing slaves in the new territories. The Republican Party was formed to fight against that act that allowed slavery. When the Civil War started, there was no Republican representation in the Southern states. None. After the Civil war, segregation was enforced by the Klu Klux Klan, an arm of the Democrat party. It was a Democrat, George Wallace, that delivered the famous line "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" in 1963. Wallace ran, in the presidential primaries, through the 70s, as a Democrat and as a staunch supporter of segregation. He fought against Civil Rights and against the integration of blacks and whites students in public schools. I don't know where you got your information but a simple google search will confirm everything that I told you. Blacks started to vote Democrat in the 1930s because of Roosevelt's "New Deal", for the first time in American history. Before that, they'd always voted Republican and the Republican Party had grown in the south after the Civil War because of the Black Republicans. The New Deal was the big shift in black politics, yet it was mostly Democrats that fought against the repealing of the Jim Crow laws thirty years later. Don't believe me. Learn about American political history. These are facts that Democrats like to keep hidden and one can hardly blame them for that. It might be time to stop pointing fingers and to take responsibility for ourselves as individual human beings instead of aligning ourselves into groups who will say anything to malign their opposition.

@erenjaeger1738 The "my atrocity is not near as bad as your's" argument. That's a great one. I'll bet if faced with the choice of having your heart cut out or going to a school, you'd choose school EVERY time. Why can't we just admit that people can be horrible to one another instead of turning it into some kind of contest. The one thing that you've learned from history is that you've not learned a thing from history.

@phd1313 If a male high school athlete saw competing in women's sports as an avenue for a scholarship, do you not think that he might just take it. He could get an education, free, and not be in debt for a good part of his adult life. It's a lottery that's too good for the unscrupulous to not take advantage of. Don't be naive.

@deannewilliams6897 Or maybe he's a troll. I won't call him a bald faced liar but he's not using his real name so he can never be called out on his little story. He may never have been on any set in his life.

@Sylvertaco If you DON'T read the Constitution, then you'll never understand it. Everything is open to interpretation and nothing will EVER be perfect. That's the nature of the universe. The Constitution is an attempt to make lives bearable for all, giving each an opportunity to live their lives to the fullest. Like every document made by men, it is flawed. Since we are flawed, we have to understand it it in the spirit in which it was written. Douglas understood that and that was why he defended it. He defended it, not because it was perfect, but because it attempted to bring the dignity of life to everyone and was the best attempt he'd read until that time. I'd say it's still unmatched and I'm not American.

@lovegrace3719 Not everyone is going to be saved. That's a fact and you still have to live with them in a civilised manner. "Love thy neighbour" doesn't have qualifications. It isn't "Love thy Christian neighbour". You love your neighbour and if he disagrees with you about issues, you still love him, in spite of the disagreement. You're not obligated, by God or anything else, to change that neighbour to what you believe he should be. You offer yourself up as the best representative of God and hope that your example will inspire them to know what it is that makes you a unique and loving person. I don't see that in you, at all. I see a judgemental and smug individual who thinks that they are morally superior to others. Remember, no one is worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven. Not me, not the Jew, Dennis Prager, not Candace Owens and NOT YOU. Best you live your life with that humility in your heart.

@july6949 What I'm saying is that no society can function without the rule of law. It doesn't matter what economic system is in place.

@ofiasdfnosdf That's exactly what it is. It's the grab for power, by a socialist left, who are using pollution issues and the fact that the climate has been warming as their vehicle to take over all our lives. It's perplexing that so many people don't mind handing over their personal sovereignty to all encompassing central power. I guess George Orwell was talking about a bad central power as opposed the "good" one they want to impose. The "not real communism" argument.

@Jerahzz He NEVER said that he wasn't allowed to say it. He SAID that he hoped that he's gotten over his negative obsession with Trump. You took one giant but illogical leap with that comment.

@sneezyfido Same as BLM. It's not about equality or racism. It's about gaining power and using the weak minded as their foot soldiers to get that power.

AUmapathi1 Columbus didn't invade anyone. He went west to establish trade routes with India and China because the lucrative silk and spice routes were cut off by the Turks and Muslim nations. To cut out these middle men, the Portuguese went around Africa and Columbus thought that there was even a better way if he went west. He didn't know that there were 2 continents in the way. No one did. After that, history went as it had always went for thousands of years before that. People fought each other. They fought over land, trade, ideas and to settle grievances. They also built things, made new discoveries in science and technology. Columbus changed the path of history. He didn't advocate invading the Americas because he didn't even know it was there. He made that most innovative of changes in history by sailing west and then returning and telling people that it was possible to get to Asia by sailing west. You're assuming that the entire history of Columbus and the world since then is only about war. It's about so much more than that. War is only one aspect of it and it act as if it all there was an nothing else only serves to advance the rancour that has always preceded human strife and suffering. It lays BLAME, the most horrific motivation that humanity has ever come up with. BLAME is what motivated the Nazis to kill the Jews and the Bolsheviks to kill the Bourgeoisie. Columbus is celebrated for his innovation and changing the history of humanity. War is only one part of it.

@erenjaeger1738 The Spanish were horrified at the way the Aztec solution for the small pox epidemic. The Aztecs slaughtered tens of thousands of their own people, if you count all natives as one people and I don't, in sacrifice to their gods. The Spanish found the tradition of the Flower Wars to be rather horrific as well. Don't assume that I've never read about those times. I've been a voracious reader for over 60 years. You gather a lot of information over that span of time. It's how I realised that humans can be extremely barbaric and that barbarism has nothing to do with ethnic identity. We all come from the same stock, like it or not.

@shaniajackson7864 I never said that there was anything wrong with authority. What I said is that Conservatives value individual freedom, which includes freedom of thought, speech, belief and the press. This means that if want to be a Mormon, good for you. That's your choice. You're given your freedom as a birthright, even as a gift from God. That freedom is yours unless you infringe on the freedom of others. That is where law and order comes in and the authority that necessary that allows everyone that freedom from those who would tell us, forcibly, how to live and believe. That's the authoritarianism that I will not stand for. If Lauren believes that gay marriage should be allowed, that's her right and freedom.....as long as she doesn't force me into believing it against my will. If she does that, she has betrayed her belief in conservatism. She has taken away my right as a sovereign citizen.

@TheRed02151 Believing in something is not a character trait. If he "used" to believe that Obama was an immigrant and his birth certificate was a fake, that would imply that he doesn't believe it now. Being able to change your mind, without prejudice would say something about his character. If you can't tell the difference then it's going to rather difficult to explain anything to you.

@daphneanneblake7684 I'm Canadian and I paid into our Canadian Pension Plan, our version of Social Security, for my entire working life, 48 years of it. Now I'm retired and I'm drawing from that plan that I paid into. I've also a personal pension plan, that I've paid into since I was 25 years old, that I draw from. I've paid into both. I should be able to draw from both. Also, for tens of thousands of years, when our ancestors started to age, the young looked after them. It was a respect and a payment for all the years those elders had taken care of them when they were children. That's life. That's what our pension plan is doing. Nothing hypocritical about it. You've just demonstrated exactly the mindset of so many socialists. You don't discuss. You insult.

They'll say "That wasn't REAL Socialism in California. We'll do it better in our new state". Then they'll proceed to destroy it as well, except faster because they'll believe that they've "learned from their mistakes" They're delusional.

@truetech4158 What are you on about? The topic is gender dysphoria. You're nothing but a troll, the lowest form of life on the internet.

@erenjaeger1738 How do you exaggerate an atrocity. Is it in the numbers? Like the Holocaust deniers who claim that 6 million is an exaggeration, as if 500,000 thousand victims makes the perpetrators less guilty. Just because some Aztecs were convinced that it was an honour death, doesn't make it any less horrific. The Spartans would abandon, what they saw as weak babies, in the mountains to die. It really doesn't matter if 100 were abandoned or 10,000. It's the mindset that allows it to happen that counts. There is no rationalisation for atrocities. You can use statistics, religion, the times....it doesn't matter. It's still an atrocity. These atrocities are happening today and we're still rationalising them, turning the events into contests to gauge which ethnic group is the worst. It won't stop until we stop the rationalisation.

@lovegrace3719 "the wicked will envy" YOU? So you ARE worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven. LOL. You're really something. Humility isn't a strong part or your personality, is it. "Pride cometh before a fall". or maybe. "Blessed be the meek" I don't know who I'm talking to.....WOW. God's special servant? Nothing meek about that, or prideful.

@michaelpalmieri7335 When Obama was first elected, I did think that this was a turning point for race relations in the US. Was I right but not in the way I thought. Obama was in the unique position of being the one person who could have brought some sense to the discord after the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson. Instead, he basically said nothing and let that city burn, even though it was found that the "hands up, don't shoot" was false. By the time it was done not only Ferguson was burning, so were parts of Milwaukee, Baltimore, Minneapolis and Dallas. People were marching in the streets, some even calling for the killing of ordinary and random police officers and 5 officers in Dallas and 2 in New York were brutally murdered in response to the anti-police rhetoric of the press and certain leaders. One was a young black officer, mother of 2, who was waiting in her police vehicle and was executed with a bullet to the back of the head. Obama did nothing and the reason for that was simple. There was an election coming and he didn't want to upset the black voters. Race relations have been at their worst since the sixties. That was Obama's legacy and not one that he should be proud of. I would agree that Trump should never have praised Gianforte for body slamming that reporter however he did NOT mock that reporter for his handicap. The media gave the impression that the reporter Serge Kovaleski had cerebral palsy, a disease in which the sufferer loses body control. Kovaleski does NOT have cerebral palsy so he does NOT suffer from the lose of body control that one would see if he were afflicted by that disease. He speaks quite normally. Trump was mocking his fluster at being caught in an awkward stance on a claim he made. This is Kovaleski and how he normally talks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ45EsD2Gc0 These are examples of how Trump mocks people who get caught in a lie and acting flustered. He has done it many times in the past. No one is going to claim the Ted Cruz is handicapped or even himself, years before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AedzsWd-ME Maybe Trump could have handled it better when he did find out the guy did have a bad arm but he wasn't mocking him for that. He was mocking him for getting caught in saying something that wasn't true by using exaggerated antics that a flustered person might use. To say that he was mocking his handicap is being disingenuous, at best, dishonest at worst.

@d_a_n_a. KKK membership is down and those that are still left are disillusioned with Trump. They don't like that he's started the opportunity zones, the first step programs, have invited the young black republican leaders to the White House as well as Kanye West and Jim Brown. That his daughter and grandchildren are Jews, he's good friends with Ben Carson and this goes on and on. They really thought Trump was an ally but he's condemned racism multiple times and even the KKK and Nazis. The only reason that anyone of them would vote for Trump is because the left is a damn mess right now. This "Trump is a racist" rhetoric is only alive because the Democrats see this as their only hope to win the election next year.

bcstractor What's wrong with you. The Chinese reported it at the end of December and the first cases were in China, the first death was in China and the first American case was a person who had just returned from China. If it was a bat, it was bat in China that passed it to someone in China and it was the Chinese government that tried to cover it up. These are facts that are readily available. The only reason you won't accept it is because you don't want to. Look under your pillow. The tooth fairy may have left you a quarter.

bcstractor YOU can't figure you that CNN, MSNBC, ABC and over 80% or the media is a political machine for the Democrats. I thought you'd have figured that out with the Covington Kids debacle. They had the same access to the entire video that I did, that ALL of us did, and they reported it all wrong. CNN had to settle a lawsuit, out of court, because of their deception. Why did they do it? Those kids were wearing MAGA hats. That's it. Some of the pundits on those networks even admitted it. When asked why the media would do such a thing, Joy Behar flatly stated that it was because they wanted to get rid of Trump so bad that they'd do anything. If you still trusted those networks after that, you're as gullible as a 5 year old waiting for the tooth fairy.

What a lot of weird assumptions. How would any of you know if she accused anyone of "grape"? Also, she's a beautiful young woman. She's changed her life too many of you are talking about her as a lost cause. Be happy for her. We're all sinners. You're no better than she is.

The central idea of truth in that book came when Winston was forced to see that 2 plus 2 equals 5, that truth was a construct that could be changed at the whim of the speaker. This is what we're seeing today. Orwell gave us the most absurd example that he could think of and yet so many of us don't get what it was that he was getting at. It's frightening to think that his nightmarish world is starting to become real here in the west.

@novocaine_4_payne667 You're sinking into semantics. Everyone knows and understands what one means when using the word "Hispanic". It has a generic meaning that has been used for decades.

Of course he was a good navigator. He just didn't know that there were 2 large continents between Europe and Asia. NO ONE did. He found the islands in the Caribbean and then he navigated back on subsequent voyages. That took a knowledge of navigation. He charted those newly discovered islands and used those charts to return a couple of years later. That means he knew how to navigate. If he didn't, he'd have never returned.

@shaniajackson7864 You can't even tell which brand of Christianity is the correct one. Is it the Roman Catholic Church? The Presbyterian Church? How about Calvinism or the Amish? Millions died and were persecuted trying to sort that out. Furthermore, it's the belief in God that matters, not the ideology. Ideology is the man made construct and Christianity has splintered into all kinds of factions. We, as humans, don't have the wisdom to distinguish each facet of the teachings of the Bible and 2 people could read the same passage in their Bible and come to different conclusions to its meaning. That's was a major reason why the founding fathers of the US allowed freedoms. They wanted to avoid the endless wars and deaths that plagued Europe for centuries. Freedom of speech, of religion, of assembly, all the basic principles of the Constitution, that will allow us all our own path to live our life the way that God granted us. The Apostles never once advocated that Christians force anyone to believe in Jesus. The only thing important was faith and that was something that was lost in the Middle Ages and was slowly brought back, starting with the Reformation and culminating in the American Constitution. Also, the Kingdom of Heaven will never be attained on earth. Jesus told us that, explicitly. Any attempt to force it or say that Christianity is the only way, negates the fact that we're still human and as such we will pervert his way. That's a guarantee. The realisation will come with the Kingdom of Heaven, not by the Evangelicals, who believe that they have the right to tell me how to believe or what to believe.

@ValiantArcher-ob6nw The only way to prove that zero point energy exists is to build a system that demonstrates it and show everyone, via the internet, how it's done. Making claims and accusations aren't enough. Ask everyone to share the information and keep sharing it. They can't stop it if the determination is there. Also, the general wasn't talking about zero point energy. He was talking about energy from the sun, that can be collected, stored and relayed to earth. This is the same energy that powers the earth now and is subject to the laws of thermodynamics, just like any other form of energy.

@lovegrace3719 "Your blessed books". Who decided that they are "blessed"? YOU? And you call me prideful? LOL. Also...did you not read the part where I specifically named myself FIRST in the list of those not worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven? I live my life under the assumption that I'm NOT worthy. That my main goal in life is to better myself, NOT to better others. I have no control over that and shouldn't. I can advice people but I'm not going to offer it up as the end statement of truth. "Blessed books".....what arrogance.

@amazingjason455 You don't have to be exceptional like Vivek. All you need is strong work ethic and a plan for the future. It's not easy but millions are doing it every day. The problem is, the left doesn't believe that it can be done. Worse, they depend on the victim mentality of those who are at the bottom of the economic ladder. They don't tell them that they can improve their life if the believe in themselves. They may not end up doing the overtly exceptional things that Vivek is doing but they can be exceptional by setting themselves on a trajectory in which, over all, they become better every day. It's a life's journey and so many people, in the free world, are doing it. YOU can do it but not with this idea that you're not exceptional and therefore you're a loser. What a horrible thing to believe and to pass on as a legacy towards our children. An individual may not be able to change the world but that individual can change their own little spot in it. No one is going to do it for you. Our inner cities are proof positive of that. In spite of all the promises, from the left, it's only getting worse and then they use their own failures as proof that it can't be done. The Democrats do nothing but they talk a good game. In fact, they use those failures to foster anger in those communities. It's incredible to watch.

@yarazooom I'm not sure what it was that Trump said that is a directive to kill people in a shopping mall. Maybe I'm naive but I just don't see it. The guy in Dayton Ohio was an Antifa supporter and also supported Elizabeth Warren. What did Warren say that made her responsible for the killings there?

I've always said that socialists are transgressing one of the Ten Commandments, the Big Ten, as I like to call them. It took me years to understand the significance of this commandment but it's when I began to study economic ideologies that I began to understand. Coveting inspires resentment, than anger, then rage and finally retaliation. It doesn't build, it takes from those that their rage is directed at. I'm not religious at all, but it amazes me that people, living well over 2000 years ago, understood this basic principle of the human condition. Yet, in spite of numerous examples, of the relationship between coveting and socialism, people still don't get it, today.

@westernersareuntermench2474 You don't even know what country he came from so how could you know whether that government was "American installed"? If it WAS American installed, why would he FLEE to America, the country that supported the government that wants to kill him? When you stop hating, thinking through emotion, you begin to think rationally. That's when you'll start to make some common sense.
5
@westernersareuntermench2474 Of course you think that because ALL them countries are the same....right? Somalia is no different the Rwanda with is no different than Angola or Senegal. They're all the same and not one of them is able to resist the "might" of the USA. I'll bet all the Africans involved agree wholeheartedly with your blanket assessment of the character and lack of individuality of the peoples of that continent. Speaking of hatred, it's your hatred that's infecting this comment thread. You hate America so much that you won't even acknowledge that this person is grateful for the freedom and safety that the US has provided him. Instead, you'll do mental backflips to justify why you hate America and in doing so, you paint all African nations with the same brush or to put it clearly, all them brown folk are the same. You can't even see your own lack of self awareness.
5
He's not saying that at all. He's saying that there are those who are using history to vilify western civilisation instead of using it to understand human nature. He's saying that there is good and evil in ALL of us, and that you don't assign evil traits to one group and good ones to others.
