The desperation of the Brotherhood
[AlAhram] The Moslem Brüderbund’s latest attempt to move back onto the political scene in Egypt by broadcasting Internet videos from a contractor based abroad is its most desperate to date.

For a group that has managed to survive many challenges since its formation in 1928, the Moslem Brüderbund is reaching a point of unprecedented breakdown in its country of origin, Egypt.

Through many periods, from that of former king Farouk in the 1940s and early 1950s all the way to former president Hosni Mubarak

Home Front: Politix
The Trump-Ukraine whistleblower complaint looks just like ‘Steele Dossier 2.0'
[NY Post] An old adage holds that while history doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes. Not so in the case of the latest manufactured anti-Trump "scandal." The anonymous whistleblower's allegations of corruption involving President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, appear to be a note-for-note reproduction of the discredited "dossier" of 2016.

The template for a coordinated media and intelligence community hit against the president was first perfected in the dossier. British ex-spook Christopher Steele compiled the bogus allegations at the behest of the Democrats. Yet it formed the basis for secret wiretaps, human informants and a sprawling, multi-year special-counsel probe of the president.

Liberals presented Steele as an operative with impeccable credentials and a deep network of Russian sources. His reports, we were told, set a gold standard for intelligence, so much so that the FBI regularly relied on his counsel. His claims found immediate purchase in the highest circles of American journalism ‐ until they were utterly debunked along with the whole "collusion" theory.

Sound familiar?

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
After UN visit, Iran faces diminishing choices
[AlAhram] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

Worn down by eight years of fighting with the Iraqi army and the incredibly high toll this was taking in lives lost, Iran’s revolutionary government accepted an UN-brokered ceasefire in July 1988 that ended one of the bloodiest wars in the Middle East.

Home Front: Culture Wars
'Coexist' Molotov Cocktails Now Available
[Babylon Bee] In a move to capitalize on the ever-growing market for more tolerant riot equipment, the Fight Fascism Foundation has announced a new line of Coexist-branded Molotov cocktails.

The weapons are equipped with easy-light technology so even teenagers who have never rioted before can fire them up and show their enemies how loving they are with an explosion of fire.

"Rioters' hearts are in the right place," said an FFF representative. "But they've been unable to express their great tolerance for ideas they disagree with as they burn buildings to the ground until now. With our great line of riot products, the victims of your violence will know just how virtuous you are as they fade into unconsciousness."

The Molotov cocktails will soon be supplemented by other riot products, such as Coexist rocks, Coexist baseball bats, and Coexist ski masks.

"You'll know a tolerant antifa or Communist rioter by their official FFF Coexist products, purchased from our online store," the rep added.

The Coexist riot gear quickly sold out, with a high volume of sales occurring in the Washington, D.C. area, according to the company.

Des Moines Register Fires Reporter Who Dug up 'Racist' Tweets on Children's Hospital Donor; Still No Apology
Can't imagine why the media is so despised
[PJ Media] The Des Moines Register is even more unpopular than the New York Times, if you can believe it. They drew everyone's ire by running a hit piece on some poor guy, Carson King, whose viral sign to raise money for more beer accidentally raised a million dollars and he decided to give it all to sick children. As Jim Treacher reported earlier in the week, you have to destroy that guy.

To recap: A guy donated $1 million to a children's hospital, so his local newspaper dug up some bad tweets from when he was a teenager. He did a good thing and gained national attention for it, and our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press had to put him in his place.

The Register received huge backlash for this and online investigators discovered that the reporter who dug up the tasteless tweets had several of his own that were far worse. Naturally, everyone demanded he be fired. They eventually fired him but not before they went back to writing profiles of Carson King, to everyone's horror. First they drag the guy through the mud, then they write about him like they didn't do that to him in the first place, for clicks. Earlier today they published an article titled "Carson King raises more than $500,000 for children's hospital amid controversy," and then never bothered to say that they themselves created the controversy! (Note: I would normally link the source but in this case I don't think they deserve the clicks on the back of that man they tried to destroy, do you?)

#1  some bad tweets from when he was a teenager.

As I understand it, the bad tweets consisted of:
(1) Comparing black women to gorillas
Betcha it wasn't all black women, but a specific one.
(2) Making light of black people who died in the Holocaust.
I wasn't aware that any black people died in the Holocaust. So I assume he made fun of some Wakandan's ignorant barking.

And now it's time for Children's Hour
h/t Instapundit
[WattsUpWithThat] Hello, children! Are you all sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin.

Greta, dear, do wipe that nasty, frowning sneer off your face. If the wind blows on it, you’ll look like that for the rest of your life, and that wouldn’t be very nice, now, would it?

Once upon a time, some very naughty grown-ups made up a wicked story to frighten all you little ones with. They said it was going to get hotter and hotter and hotter. It was going to be ever so hot. Really, really hot. Yes, Alexandria, hotter even than Brad Pitt, if that’s possible.

But, you see, children, you can’t always believe what grown-ups say. Part of growing up is learning to work out when you are being told the truth and when you are not.
And if the grown up happens to be your brain-washed, talentless, fish-monger duly accredited school teacher ...
So today, children, I’m going to have to tell you that quite a lot of what dear old Ms Snorkel, your science teacher, has been telling you about global warming turns out not to be true. Not true at all. Dear me, no.

You see, Miss Snorkel thinks that just because someone says something dreadful is going to happen, then it’s going to happen. Just like that.

But just because someone says they think something bad is going to happen, that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. It might not happen. So you mustn’t just believe it’s going to happen. You must check what you are told. Don’t just believe it.

Miss Snorkel has told you the experts say the weather is going to get a whole lot warmer. So I’ve drawn a nice picture for you, so that you can see whether they’re right.

...Deary me, it really doesn’t look as though the experts Mrs Snorkel trusts were right about how much warmer the weather was going to be. My oh my, they seem to have overshot quite a bit, don’t they?

...By now, kiddiwinks, you’ll be wondering why all those experts got it so wrong. Well, here’s the thing. They made some big mistakes. Yes, Greta, I’m saying they screwed up, but we don’t use language like that in class.

There’s that face again, Greta. Just relax. Yes, of course, I’ll tell you what they got wrong.

You see, they forgot the Sun was shining. But if you look out of the window you can see for yourself that it is. Yes, I know it seems strange that they forgot the Sun was shining, but that’s exactly what they did. Silly of them, wasn’t it?

Yes, Greta, there are "feedback loops". But that doesn’t mean the feedback loops will make the climate run away to a "tipping point". What it does mean is that the feedbacks don’t just respond to warmer weather caused by the fact that there are greenhouse gases in the air. They have to respond to the fact that the Sun is shining. Not much choice about it.

But the experts more or less completely forgot about the feedback response to the sunshine. They made the mistake of counting it as part of the feedback response to greenhouse gases. And that made them think there would be a whole lot more warming from greenhouse gases than anyone sensible would ever expect.

How do I know? Well, here’s another picture. What it shows is that if there were 4 K global warming, which the experts now predict, the feedbacks would have to make 350 times as much more warming for each degree of greenhouse-gas warming than they did for each degree of the emission temperature that would keep the Earth warm even if there were no greenhouse gases and no feedback loops. And they can’t do that. It’s impossible.

...But the trouble with the official figure of about 255 K is that the experts calculate it by imagining that the Earth is flat. Then they divide the sunshine by a kludge-factor of 4 in a clumsy attempt to adjust their sums for the fact that the Earth is round. Not very clever, are they, acting as though the Earth was flat?

But that’s not the only mistake they make when they try to calculate emission temperature. They calculate it by imagining there would be clouds in the air, just as there are today, reflecting almost a third of that lovely sunshine harmlessly straight back into space.

But clouds are made of water vapour, and water vapour is a greenhouse gas, and it is only in the air because of feedbacks. But at emission temperature there would be no water vapour in the air and no feedbacks. Oops! Aren’t the experts silly, children?

No, Greta, I’m not an expert. But Professor Richard Lindzen is. He’s the very expertest of all the experts. And here’s what he says about it:

    "In considering an atmosphere without greenhouse substances (in order to get 255 K), clouds are retained for their visible reflectivity while ignored for their infrared properties. More logically, one might assume that the elimination of water would also lead to the absence of clouds, leading to a temperature of about 274 K rather than 255 K."

...Well, that’s all we have time for today, children. But don’t worry, Greta: your future will be a rosy one. The world will be a little warmer, but that’s a very good thing, not a very bad thing. Now, stop worrying about the weather, go out and play, and enjoy the sunshine!
The most important thing, IMO, to remember about "Science" is that our schools are conditioning centers for conformism and intellectual dishonesty - unavoidable really once you decided that the differences among students are environmental and not inborn. That's why no week goes by without some brilliant young "scientist" (straight A's since kindergarten) being caught faking results - and that just for experimentalists. They get away with it in computer simulations because nobody checks.

#6  One day Greta may actually learn the truth about the load of crap that her parents and other trusted authority figures have been feeding her. She will then have to determine if they were mere fools or if they had some malicious purpose. Her sense of dismay and betrayal will be devastating but at least she can take some comfort in the fact that the sky is not falling.

Seriously though, I swear I've never heard that poem (or much CB at all), but when I saw it -- closed up, mind you -- I thought, "That's not teh usual grom...," and then, "Dammit, Herb, I want to hate you, but I just can't!"
