Secretary Michael R. Pompeo At the Three Seas Virtual Summit and Web Forum
Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State Washington, D.C. SECRETARY POMPEO: (In progress) — stands for the rule of law, democracy, freedom of expression. We drive economic growth through innovation. We protect our people. And our way of life is the envy for the entire world. Look at the freedoms for which the people of Belarus and Iran and Hong Kong risk beatings and imprisonment. Look at the countries to which refugees from Libya and Syria decide they want to flee. Look at the universities to which top students from China …
UN busted for exaggerated report
UN reports work like this: Researchers assemble page after page of data few ever read. Activists then staple a brief, but alarming, executive summary to the front of the report, and politicians and the press only read and quote from that. The UN was just busted for putting out a report that claims the “human cost of disasters” is rising — but then went on to show a graph which reveals the exact opposite. Marc Morano posted Pielke’s statement at Climate Depot, along with the UN’s graph which show’s that “the number of c…
John Woolman: The Conscientious Quaker Who Paved the Way for the Abolitionist Movement
Today—October 19, 2020—marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of John Woolman, a humanitarian who played a central role in the abolition of slavery. I regard him as a John the Baptist on the issue, a man whose appearance laid the foundation for the anti-slavery movement. Woolman’s story is not nearly as well known as those of Thomas Clarkson and William Wilberforce . Wilberforce, as a member of the House of Commons in London, introduced the bill to end the slave trade every year for 18 years before it finally passed in 1807. Clark…
The Real Pandemic: Mass Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy
It’s more than fair to say that we are experiencing a pandemic, but not the one you hear about ad nauseum . No, the pandemic is not a virus, it is a pandemic outbreak of Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy which focuses its obsessions on the virus. Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy is a mental illness in which the sufferer fantasizes that others–usually people in their charge, such as children–are suffering from serious illness and require drastic medical intervention. Observe what has happened over the last 7 months, and what…

Pompeo, Secretary of State Today, I was honored to convene the Trump Administration’s third meeting of the President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, a cabinet-level entity that consists of 20 agencies across the federal government responsible for coordinating U.S. efforts to combat all forms of human trafficking.

Sea level scientist Nils-Axel Mörner, 1938-2020
Reposted from WUWT . CFACT knew Dr. Mörner very well and will miss our friend. Professor Nils-Axel Mörner, who died on Friday October 16 aged 83 after a short illness, knew more about sea level than did Poseidon himself. He wrote more than 650 papers on the subject in his long and distinguished career. He became even more well-known after his retirement than before it, because he decided to take the risk of publicly opposing the false notion, profitably peddled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change et hoc genus omne, …
States With Stricter Lockdown Policies Have The Most Coronavirus Deaths, Highest Unemployment, Democrat Controlled
Nations across the world are still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered a global recession following economic lockdowns enforced by most developed nations around the world. New estimates put the economic losses at more than $16 trillion , and the United States saw its GDP shrink 9.5 percent between April and June, its largest drop in modern times. While macroeconomic data is useful, it doesn’t tell the full story. It’s important to understand these economic losses have resulted in severe pain for people around the w…
Stop Bringing Politics Into the Supreme Court
With the Supreme Court squarely in the crosshairs of American politics, especially with the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, it would be best if as many people as possible actually understood how the Court works. Although an informed discussion is always good for any political topic, it is especially important for the Supreme Court because it is one of the three pillars that support the foundation of our country. Reforming the Court in any meaningful way will have ramifications that will affect every aspect of the American gove…
