Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
‘The View’ Claims White Republican Men Want to Bring Back Measles ~ Don’t forget they also want to kill granny, “erase” trans-people, and keep all women barefoot and pregnant ~
Liberal cohosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar on ABC’s The View said that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other white Republican men, along with conservative judges, want to bring back measles, black lung and pollute the water.
In a segment praising Joe Biden’s launch into the Democratic 2020 presidential primary, Goldberg and Behar gave a laundry list of negative things that they now blame on conservatives and said that they want to bring them all back.
The eco-gospel according to Saint Greta ~ Swedish, 16 year-old eco-evangelist Greta Thunberg is quite the precocious phenomenon in Europe ~
Environmentalism is fast becoming a religion, and there is even more religious resonance in the responses of the Great and Good, standing agape at Ms Thunberg’s uncompromising message and asking each other ‘where did she get all this wisdom?’
And yet there is no mystery about that, since the Swedish youngster has been exposed to their own message – fed the environmentalist doomsday gospel or, to be more precise, the ‘bad news’ – at school, when she was too young to assimilate it and put it into context, a problem made more acute by her Asperger’s syndrome.
Yellowstone volcano: Earthquake swarm hits deadly caldera which could be sign of ERUPTION ~ This is the UK Express’ annual Yellowstone is fixin to blow scare ~
YELLOWSTONE volcano could be about to erupt and challenge humanity’s existence as a spate of mini-quakes have been felt around the fearsome caldera.
During the month of April, a total of 63 earthquakes struck around the Wyoming based supervolcano. All of the tremors were relatively small, with the largest registering at 2.6 on the Richter scale, hitting on April 29. But experts have warned that it is not necessarily about the strength of an earthquake around a volcano, but more the quantity of them.

Edward Cunningham, a specialist on China and its energy markets at Harvard University, tells NPR that China is building or planning more than 300 coal plants in places as widely spread as Turkey, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Egypt and the Philippines.
Trump Fed Nominee Stephen Moore Withdraws Bid ~ Moore was an excellent pick. How tragic that leftists have gotten so vicious they’re driving good, decent people out of public service ~
In a letter Thursday to Trump, Moore, 59, wrote that he wished to withdraw from consideration.
“Your confidence in me makes what I am about to say much harder. I am respectfully asking that you withdraw my name from consideration,” Moore wrote to the president. “The unrelenting attacks on my character have become untenable for me and my family and 3 more months of this would be too hard on us.”
Transgender Admissions To All-Male, Historically Black College Undermine What It Means To Be A Black Man ~ Justin McClinton at The Federalist laments the reality-free zone that his alma mater, Morehouse College, is becoming ~
(The school’s new admission policy) states, “Morehouse will consider for undergraduate admission those applicants who live and self-identify as men, regardless of the sex assigned to them at birth.” This makes it clear the agenda of its Ivy League-educated president is to make Morehouse just like the liberal, white campuses that he is accustomed to. The “who live” part of the policy is the most troubling.
Nagasaki’s Christian Hero ~ The life of Paul Takashi Nagai, a scientist, professor, convert and poet, is a moving example of selfless Christian charity, service and love for one’s fellow man ~
(T)here was no one to console them, no one to help them except us. We must stand and come to their aid. I stood there unsteadily on my tottering legs. And then the whole group stood up beside me. Our courage came back. The determination to continue our work gave us strength and joy.”

Toppling Ten Fake Facts That Prop Evolution ~ Most people who believe in evolution only do so because that’s been the default position of public school science courses for decades. Taking a closer, objective look at the actual evidence may surprise them ~
Evolution runs on rhetoric and not reality. ICR offers many in-depth resources that evaluate evolutionary assertions and arguments.8 Sometimes it takes just one thought-provoking question to plant a seed of doubt in someone’s belief that nature created all things.
