Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Former U. of Arizona prof: We must destroy modern civilization to save Earth from global warming ~ Is there any doubt that some of these climate alarmists have totally lost it?

 
85-year-old French man fined over $6,000 for urging woman not to have abortion ~

85-year-old French pro-lifer Xavier Dor was fined 5,000 euro ($6,350) Monday by the Appeals Court of Paris for having exerted “moral and psychological pressure” to dissuade a woman from having an abortion […]
 
In 2012, the frail, almost blind, medical doctor, pediatrician, and researcher had given tiny knitted baby shoes to a woman who was approaching a Planned Parenthood center in central Paris.

What a sad commentary on the totalitarian mindset of a pro-abortion culture. This comment, from the public prosecutor, is just surreal:

“He should realize the moral harm he’s been doing. It’s about time for him to stop”

 
Elon Musk: Artificial Intelligence Is Like ‘Summoning a Demon’ ~ Disconcerting assessment considering that this guy – as the the founder of the Tesla car company and rocket-maker Space X – has no small amount of credibility in this field ~

“I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that […]
 
“I’m increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish.”

 
Over 214,000 Doctors Opt Out of Obamacare Exchanges ~ Obamacare is basically asking doctors to take on sicker patients for less money; running the risk of not getting paid at all. Any wonder that at least 25% are opting out? (In socialist paradise California it’s 70%!)

 
Senior Obama admin official calls Netanyahu a ‘chickens**t’ ~ With all due respect, the Obama administration is full of arrogant, absurd clowns ~

The notion of attacking Netanyahu as a coward is absurd. Netanyahu served with Israeli Special Forces (and his brother was killed in the daring raid on Entebbe) […]
 
President Obama has never, ever in his life demonstrated anything close to physical courage. For that matter, it is hard to come up with an example of political or moral courage from the man notorious for throwing former friends under the bus. A man notable for his lack of guts should choose his anonymous spokesman’s epithets more carefully.

 
5 Facts That Prove Jerusalem Was NEVER A Muslim Holy City Or An Arab Capital! ~ An instructive historical re-cap refutes Muslim claims to the City of David.

 
Gino Bartali: The man who helped save Italy’s Jews ~ Awesome true story of an elite cyclist who defied the Nazis as part of a secret Italian resistance movement is told in a new film: My Italian Secret.

 
Dozens of former Guantanamo detainees suspected of joining ISIS forces in Syria ~ Thanks President Obama – you “built that!” ~

Up to 30 former Guantanamo detainees released since 2011 have joined forces with the Islamic State, reports claim. Of the 620 detainees released from the prison, around 200 are believed to be fighting with terrorist forces once more. Senior defense forces believe 20 to 30 of those have joined Syrian groups such as ISIS, Fox News reports.

If you think that’s bad, just wait til after the election ~

Obama’s post-election plans for a secret radical agenda ~ Scary stuff! If this doesn’t get your butt to the polls nothing will!
