Antarctica Has Lost Nearly 3 Trillion Tonnes Of Ice Since 1992

It only remains for me to point out that a sea-level rise of .6mm per year means 6mm per century.

6mm is about a quarter of an inch. I wouldn’t start packing the BugOutBag quite yet.

Professor: Learning Math Can Cause ‘Collateral Damage’ to Society

Everything is political these days, sometimes for not being political enough.

The Professor’s main complaint is that there isn’t enough Magical Progressive Thinking in math.

Sen. Warren Dodges Congressional Responsibility Question, Instead Blames Trump

Immigration tensions boil over as Dems accost Trump, intern curses at president  The Party of Hate in action.

Congressional Intern Allegedly Yells ‘F*ck You!’ At President Trump  I love that ‘allegedly’.

New York to sue Trump administration over ‘callous and inhumane’ family separations  I don’t think you can sue the government for enforcing the law. But I could be wrong, these days.

Trump confidant accused of mocking story of Down’s syndrome girl taken from mother at border  Apparently the straight Narrative is not working so they need to embroider it.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow cries on air as she reports migrant children being sent to ‘tender age’ shelters  And if you think that was an accident, or spontaneous, you’re her target demographic.

New Yorker Fact-Checker Under Fire After Mistaking ICE Worker’s Tattoo for Nazi Symbol

20th June 2018

Read it.

The problem ain’t what they know, it’s what they know that ain’t so.

And yet: If it were a hammer-and-sickle? No problem, I suspect.

UPDATE: John Hinderaker, in Desperately Seeking Supremacists, has some thoughts:

An obvious question is, what on God’s green Earth would cause anyone to think that the vaguely cross-like symbol on Gaertner’s elbow is a Nazi or white supremacist sign? Only a person far gone in hatred for ICE employees would leap to such an irrational conclusion.

Part of the story, I think, is that the Left is hard up for white supremacists. Liberals talk about them all the time, but to the best of my knowledge, I have never met one. Have you? Liberals need to come up with someone other than Richard Spencer; hence the eagerness to libel a heroic ICE employee.

Lavin made her Twitter account private after the falsity of her smear was revealed, and the New Yorker appears to be throwing her under the bus….

Pizza Delivery Man Arrested and Turned Over to ICE While Delivering Pies to Military Base, Officials Say

6th June 2018

Read it.

Military officials stopped Pablo Villavicencio – an immigrant from Ecuador and father of two – after he delivered pizza to the Fort Hamilton Army base on Friday, according to New York City Councilman Justin Brannan.

When Mr Villavicencio failed to provide adequate identification, Mr Brannan said, the officers passed him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The 32-year-old remained in ICE custody on Monday, pending his removal from the country.

Wondering when these guys will cotton to the fact that ‘illegal’ means ‘subject to arrest and deportation’. This elementary knowledge doesn’t appear able to cross the blood/brain barrier with some people.

Eric Adams, the borough president for Brooklyn, said Mr Villavicencio’s arrest set a “dangerous precedent”.

Um, let’s see: Enforcing the law is a ‘dangerous precedent’. Yeah, that guy’s a Democrat.

“It is unimaginable that a person can go from a pizza to prison,” he said at a press conference.

I have no problem imagining that.

An ICE spokesperson confirmed Mr Villavicencio had been detained, and was being held in custody pending his removal. The spokesperson said Mr Villavicencio had failed to comply with a 2010 voluntary departure order and was considered a fugitive.

Sounds pretty cut-and-dried to me. I’d be inclined to send Eric Abrams along with him.

NY Times: ‘Motherhood Is Hitler’

3rd June 2018

The Other McCain reads the New York Time so you don’t have to.

The New York Times has a distinctly weird article, written by a British graduate student, smearing traditional stay-at-home mothers with the taint of “white supremacy.” The writer is able to find actual examples of neo-Nazi racialism in the online “tradwives” community, but it is always possible to find examples of anything on the Internet, e.g., Catholic schoolgirls who grow up to be blue-haired “nonbinary queers.”

The World as It Wasn’t

2nd June 2018

Read it.

Apparently Obama had read a column—I have an idea of which one—about the role of identity in shaping peoples’ lives and political choices. “Maybe we pushed too far,” he mused. “Maybe people just want to fall back into their tribe.” No question his fellow passengers that day reassured him that no, no, he did everything he could to bend the arc of history a little more toward justice. It’s not your fault, Mr. President. You didn’t push too far. All you did was troll Donald Trump into running for president in the first place, stand by while Ferguson and Baltimore rioted and burned, give Iran billions in exchange for empty promises, allow Russia to establish a beachhead in the Middle East for the first time in half a century, browbeat Israel at every opportunity, ram through Obamacare after Scott Brown’s election in Massachusetts, preside over the mass migration of children across the southern border in 2014, expand the DACA amnesty despite saying 22 times you lacked authority to do so, use the permanent structure of government to devastate the Appalachian economy, convince half of America that liberals were ready to take their guns (this wasn’t hard to do), have your Education Department issue orders that led to the campus-assault craze and the deterioration of classroom discipline and that, months before a presidential election, mandated trans-bathrooms in schools, have your Justice Department preside over a sloppy (I’m being charitable) investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server that included, at one point, your attorney general secretly meeting with the husband of the subject of the investigation on an airport tarmac, muscle out Joe Biden, who might have won, from the race, and hand the party back to the less-likable half of America’s most polarizing and corrupt political couple. Not to mention the eight years of lecturing. Oh, the lecturing.
