Gov. Cuomo Threatens To FIRE Sheriffs Who Complain About NY Gun Law

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is getting the hang of his new job. He has been picking up tips from fellow progressives Barack Obama and Mommy Bloomberg, the most important tip of all is if somebody criticizes your decisions, don't listen just make sure they shut the hell up!

With his new SAFE Act (A.K.A. oppressive gun control law)  this governor has been able to kill two birds with one stone, not only attacking the Second Amendment of the Constitution, but also the First.

Opposition to the SAFE act has been growing in the state ever since it was rushed through the legislature early this year.  And many Sheriffs have spoken out against the law.

 In January, the New York State Sheriffs' Association wrote Cuomo with an analysis of the new law, and suggested tweaks. So the leadership of the Association were invited to Albany to (they thought) discuss their suggestions.  The group included Sheriffs' Association Executive Director Peter Kehoe and Chemung County Sheriff Christopher Moss.

"We didn't get a response (to the analysis) from him, but we could tell after the budget was passed that none of those recommendations were taken into consideration," Moss said. "When we got there, we never got to the contents of the letter."

Instead, Cuomo pushed the sheriffs to stop publicly speaking out against the act, Moss said.

"The governor was of the opinion that the sheriffs around the state should not be interjecting their personal opinions in reference to the law," Moss said, adding that Cuomo said sheriffs can't do that and enforce the law.

One person briefed on the meeting said Cuomo threatened to remove sheriffs from office, a little-used power afforded the state's chief executive under the state constitution. Moss would not confirm this. He did say the meeting was heated at times, but overall he described it as "cordial." 

Kehoe did not return calls, and Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi declined to comment. An administration official, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to discuss a private meeting, "strongly" denied Cuomo had threatened to remove any sheriff.

Of course Azzopardi isn't going to say "Yeah my progressive boss strong-armed the Sheriffs to shut up or he would make them swim with the fishes."

Perhaps in response,  the Sheriffs' Association as well as several elected sheriffs filed an amicus curiae brief  last week supporting a federal challenge to the SAFE Act.

"We're not really protesting the law; we're protesting the methodology in which the law was forced upon the people without input of the people," said Livingston County Sheriff John York, a Republican who chairs the group's executive committee.

Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard has said he "won't enforce" the act.

The bill was unveiled on Jan. 14 and passed through a "message of necessity" that waived a three-day waiting period.  In other words neither the legislators nor the Governor wanted any input from law enforcement or the people.

In the amicus brief, the sheriffs wrote: "Law enforcement's work is made more difficult attempting to enforce unclear laws that harm, rather than promote, public safety. The laws appear willfully blind to legitimate safety interests, and instead are tailored to impact, and negatively impact, law-abiding firearm owners."

The SAFE Act is named after Cuomo's vision for the NY lifestyle of the future (Silly Anti-Freedom Environment) and is additional proof that this leader doesn't care what the voters think...he knows better than any of us.

Newsbusted: Pets To Be Taxed Under Obamacare

Well, Nancy Pelosi DID say we needed to pass Obamacare to see what's in it, but who would even suspect this? According to a new scientific study reports that owning a pet may cut the risk of heart disease.  In a new exclusive report by Newsbusted anchor Jodie Miller (see video below) we learn that upon reading the report, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has declared pets a health aid and will tax their ownership to help close the Obamacare budget gap.

Other news items covered in the latest installment of Newsbusted the weekly faux news feature from Newsbusters.org (embedded below) include; Nancy Pelosi on the bail out of Obamacare; will NYC allow non-citizens to vote?; the return of the Twinkie; and much, much, more.

Please make sure you watch the video below because something bad always happens to the people who don't. Last week interim IRS Director Miller forgot to press play and we all know how bad things turned out for him. So if you don't want to have a crappy week at work, you BETTER press play.

In the 1970s Newsweek AND Time Magazines Blamed Tornadoes On Global COOLING

Last night Senator Sheldon Whitehouse blamed the horrible Oklahoma tornadoes on Global Warming and chastise the GOP for not believing in the global warming hoax.

“So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.”

You gotta love these progressives they change their claims more often than I change my underwear as long as it brings about global redistribution of income. Back in 1975  “the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded”, killed “more than 300 people”, this according to Newsweek was among “the ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically”.

 But that article was published on April 28, 1975, when Newsweek listed the US tornado disaster of 1974 as one of the harbingers of disastrous global cooling, heralding the approach of a new ice age.

its getting cold by Jeffrey Dunetz

On the other side of NY City and a year earlier the dean of newsweeklies, Time Magazine wrote about the coming ice age on June 24, 1974 the magazine reported:

Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds — the so-called circumpolar vortex—that sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world. Indeed it is the widening of this cap of cold air that is the immediate cause of Africa's drought. By blocking moisture-bearing equatorial winds and preventing them from bringing rainfall to the parched sub-Sahara region, as well as other drought-ridden areas stretching all the way from Central America to the Middle East and India, the polar winds have in effect caused the Sahara and other deserts to reach farther to the south. Paradoxically, the same vortex has created quite different weather quirks in the U.S. and other temperate zones. As the winds swirl around the globe, their southerly portions undulate like the bottom of a skirt. Cold air is pulled down across the Western U.S. and warm air is swept up to the Northeast. The collision of air masses of widely differing temperatures and humidity can create violent storms—the Midwest's recent rash of disastrous tornadoes, for example.

Today a day after the horrible storm and with more storms predicted for this afternoon, more people like Senator Whitehouse will crawl out from under a rock to announce it's all due to global warming. On the bright side I suppose its better than blaming George Bush. However the truth is Ice Age or Heat Wave, tornadoes or not it is sadly just a part of natures ebbs and flows. The earth is more crowded than ever before- as a horrible side effect there are more people in the way of these natural events. By blaming these tornadoes on supposed global warming, these proponents of the man-made heatwave theory are no different than the ancient ​Mesopotamians who saw lighting come from the sky and attributed it to the stone idol in their living rooms.

BBC: Global Warming Stopped 15 Years Ago (But It's Gonna Start Again---They Pinky Swear!)

The good news is the earth hasn't gotten warmer for 15 years. The bad news is (according to the climate change hoaxers) It's going to start getting warmer again, one day --they promise-- cross their hearts hope to die stick a needle in their eye, this time they really mean it!

Writing in Nature Geoscience, researchers say the 15-year hiatus will reduce predicted warming in the coming decades. But (even though they can't explain why it stopped "getting warm") long-term, the expected temperature rises will not alter significantly.


The most extreme projections are looking less likely than before” according Dr Alexander Otto University of Oxford.  Which means those of us who live in New York and expect it to be under water can put away the scuba gear.


According to these researchers:

The slowdown in the expected rate of global warming has been studied for several years now. Earlier this year, the UK Met Office lowered their five-year temperature forecast.

But this new paper gives the clearest picture yet of how any slowdown is likely to affect temperatures in both the short-term and long-term.

An international team of researchers looked at how the last decade would impact long-term, equilibrium climate sensitivity and the shorter term climate response.Transient nature

Climate sensitivity looks to see what would happen if we doubled concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere and let the Earth's oceans and ice sheets respond to it over several thousand years.

Transient climate response is much shorter term calculation again based on a doubling of CO2.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported in 2007 that the short-term temperature rise would most likely be 1-3C (1.8-5.4F).

But in this new analysis, by only including the temperatures from the last decade, the projected range would be 0.9-2.0C. 

The report suggests that warming in the near term will be less than forecast

"The hottest of the models in the medium-term, they are actually looking less likely or inconsistent with the data from the last decade alone," said Dr Alexander Otto from the University of Oxford.

"The most extreme projections are looking less likely than before."

The authors calculate that over the coming decades global average temperatures will warm about 20% more slowly than expected.

This is my favorite part:

"We would expect a single decade to jump around a bit but the overall trend is independent of it, and people should be exactly as concerned as before about what climate change is doing," said Dr Otto.

Is there any succour in these findings for climate sceptics who say the slowdown over the past 14 years means the global warming is not real?

"None. No comfort whatsoever," he said.

 This folks is what happens when you create computer models to prove what you want them to prove.  The Global Warming Hoaxers finally looked out the window and realize that it hasn't gotten warmer since Monica Lewinsky was ruining a good Cuban cigar. They have no real idea why it stopped, but they promise it will start again soon!  They Swear! No Really, they mean it!

The problem is they are they are using man-made models and "man" even scientists do not know everything about the way this world works.

In 1975, when I took Earth Science as a freshman in college we learned that the earth was long overdue for another ice age.  It took 20 years for me to realize they weren't talking about the series of animated children's movies.

These same global warming scientists cannot explain why it was warmer in the medieval period, centuries before the industrial revolution, than it is today.

The answer is easy,  Earth has natural cycles of warmth and cold.  Some scientists even believe that when the cycles become short and we fluctuate between short periods warm and cold it means that an ice age is approaching.

According to data from Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations there is regular pattern of Ice Ages which last about 100,000 years, separated by a 12,000 year interglacial period.

Right Now we are nearing the end of the Interglacial Period meaning that if you don't have a good winter coat may be time to buy one. But even more important is that the Hoaxers may have it backwards because some scientists believe the CO2 isn't causing the warming instead the natural cyclic increase in global temperature is causing global CO2 to rise.


The only thing we can prove today is that temperatures are NOT going up--the climate change theorists don't know why but are sure it is going to begin getting hotter again soon. They can't explain why it stops but they know the computer programs they created indicate that the stop is temporary (because they say it's so). Something is wrong with warming models that predict warming in a cooling world.
Allow me to suggest that these scientists put away the computers and look at their windows, because there is nothing to indicate the warming trend will re-start, or that it won't start getting cold real fast. After all despite their screams The Arctic Ice Cap has been GROWING.

There is an old proverb my Mother of blessed memory, used to say "Man plans and God laughs." Such is with these global warming hoaxers, they create brilliant computer models but they don't have all the data to make them accurate, so they make them say what they want them to say.

Somewhere up there, the creator of this world may be having a good chuckle.

DISGUSTING! 24 Moore Oklahoma Children Dead But Dem Senator Whitehouse Uses Tragedy To Bash GOP

What a disgusting individual. There is no other way for it to describe him.  As I watch the unimaginable devastation in Moore Oklahoma, where 51 people have been reported dead so far, where 24 young children drowned in the basement of an elementary school-- one disgusting individual Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is using the tragedy in an attempt to score political points.

Whitehouse blamed the tornadoes on Global Warming and on the GOP for not believing in the global warming hoax.

“So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.”

Whitehouse went on to condemn the current Republican position on global warming, citing economic, environmental and diplomatic damages.

“You drag America with you to your fate,” he continued. “So, I want this future: I want a Republican Party that has returned to its senses and is strong and a worthy adversary in a strong America that has done right by its people and the world. That’s what I want. I don’t want this future. I don’t want a Republican Party disgraced, that let its extremists run off the cliff, and an America suffering from grave economic and environmental and diplomatic damage because we failed, because we didn’t wake up and do our duty to our people, and because we didn’t lead the world. I do not want that future. But that’s where we’re headed. So I will keep reaching out and calling out, ever hopeful that you will wake up before it is too late.”

This is not the  time for snarky comments about the global warming hoax or about the Democratic party. I do have some serious questions for Senator Whitehouse:

"Do you have a heart...a soul?"  Most human beings are watching the incredible horror of Moore Oklahoma and at best are holding back the tears, but you dive into a political rant. Couldn't you at least have waited till the recovered all of the bodies of the children who died in the basement of the school pictured above?  How about waiting till the dead were buried?  Why did you need to make it a political issue while the bodies were still warm? Before all the dead were counted? Senator Whitehouse I cannot comprehend how a disgusting individual like you can sleep at night.
