What oddly seems to surprise so many people, reality can quickly disagree with the hypotheses and speculative models of scientists. The polar bear is a rich case in point. In 2008, the polar bear was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act as a result of the Center for Biological Diversity's (CBD) petition. Due to hypotheses regards future effects of increasing CO2 on sea ice and polar bear health, CBD argued polar bears were endangered. However then Interior Secretary Kempthorne made it clear that "the ESA will not be used as a tool for trying to regulate the greenhouse gas emissions blamed for creating climate change." But as seen in other memos and petitions, such as for the bearded seals, the CBD ultimately wants to use the ESA as a tool to regulate CO2.

So the CBD stepped up their demands and petitioned the Obama administration to list the bears as endangered. Climate scientists Ken Caldeira and Michael Mann co-authored a 2010 letter to Interior Secretary Salazar supporting CBD efforts. They warned "sea ice has been projected to disappear in the 2030s or before" and lost sea ice was both a future and "current threat to this important habitat of the polar bear." The Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) led by researchers like Andrew Derocher, Steve Amstrup and Ian Stirling warned the world that "two thirds of the world's bears will be lost by mid-century due to climate change". The PBSG published a status table for all the polar bear sub-populations showing in the best studied populations, 8 were declining.

The number of Moldovan nationals in favor of unification with Russia is about 11% more than those who seek unification with Romania, suggests an opinion poll published by the Moldovan Institute for Public Policy on Friday.

According to the poll, 33% of Moldovan citizens would vote in favor of joining Russia, while 21.8% would support unification with Romania.

Besides, the poll suggests that 56.2% of its participants are against unification with Romania, while 40% don't want unification with Russia.

If a parliamentary election were to be held next Sunday, the majority of votes would go to the Party of Socialists that supports President Igor Dodon who seeks closer ties with Russia.

On Sept. 24, 2014, ISIS inspired Islamic convert Alton Nolen entered a food processing plant in Moore, Oklahoma. He took out a butcher knife and beheaded Colleen Hufford and critically stabbed Tracy Johnson. Both were employees at the factory.

Last week PJ Media D.C. editor Bridget Johnson was suspended from Twitter with no warning or explanation. It's been nearly a week now and thus far Twitter has yet to offer a reason for the suspension.

According to Twitter's Help Center, there are two types of suspension - a temporary timeout that results in reinstatement in a matter of hours, and a second, much more serious "permanent" suspension. Bridget's appears to be the latter. The company did not flag a particular tweet that was problematic and her request for an appeal has gone unanswered.

Comment: Twitter has made it clear where its allegiance lies:

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey endorses 'happy little accident' which deleted Trump's account
Following U.S. President Donald Trump's personal Twitter account being temporarily deleted by an employee, the corporation may not be trustworthy with deception now going beyond previous reports, to include internal suppression of political Tweets, wherein Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has actually lied directly to the public.
Twitter colludes with Dems, leaks Trump Jr./Wikileaks DMs - Trump Jr. responds by releasing the whole exchange, proving there's nothing to it
Leaked transcripts of private messages between Donald Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks appears to show Twitter, the Democrats and the mainstream media have all teamed up in an attempt to kick up more Russia collusion hysteria.

The Saudi-led coalition has conducted an airstrike on a wedding procession in Yemen, killing at least 10 women, witnesses and health officials told AP. Riyadh has been much criticized for the conflict's high civilian death toll.

The incident took place on Sunday as the procession made its way to a village in Marib province, some 170 km from the capital of Sanaa. The bride was among them, though it is not clear whether she was wounded, the Associated Press reports. According to Yemeni rural traditions, a bride and her female friends and relatives march to the wedding ceremony where the groom awaits.

The grieving father of two women killed in the raid told Yemeni Almasirah TV channel that it was a "heinous crime".


Comment: The Saudi airstrikes on civilians is most certainly a "heinous crime". It is difficult to fathom how a wedding procession can be mistaken for combatants. Yet this happens time-and-time again in wherever the US is involved in Middle East conflicts.

Flashback Autopsy reveals toddler who died after dental procedure showed no indication of dental disease or pathology

Daisy Lynn Torres
The parents of the Texas toddler who died after a routine dental procedure in March revealed in a recent interview with Inside Edition that the autopsy suggested their daughter never had signs of dental disease to begin with. In July, the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office told People.com that Daisy Lynn Torres' exact cause of death had been classified as undetermined, meaning it was non-natural, but not classified as an accident, a homicide or a suicide.

FoxNews.com previously reported that Daisy had gone to Austin Children's Dentistry with six cavities. Dr. Michael Melanson recommended four crowns and two fillings for the procedure, and he sedated 14-month-old Daisy using anesthesia. But she ended up going into cardiac arrest and later died at the hospital.

Comment: Statistics show the American medical system itself is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. The system feeds upon corruption, greed, malfeasance and self-serving interests presenting a wealth of opportunity for predatory medical providers to take advantage of unsuspecting patients:

Sensationalism is a grave sin, Pope Francis has warned. News should encourage a healthy critical sense, the pontiff said, in an attack on media bias which implied that tittle-tattle is as deadly as lust, sloth and gluttony.

"We must not fall prey to the 'sins of communication': disinformation - that is, giving just one side of the argument - slander, which is sensationalistic, or defamation, looking for outdated and old things, and bringing them to light today," the pontiff said, addressing members of the Italian Periodical Press Union on Saturday.

A heavily armed group of do-gooders feed the homeless since feeding the homeless is now illegal

Don't Comply feeding the homeless
Feeding and clothing the homeless in the land of the free has now become a revolutionary act. Luckily, however, there are still good people willing to carry out that act.

In December 2014, the Dallas city council enacted Ordinance No. 29595, which makes it illegal to serve food to the homeless without jumping through a statist myriad of bureaucratic hoops, including a fee, training classes, and written notices.

One should not need to file multiple forms and pay a fee to obtain a permit to give food to those in need who are willingly ready to accept it. The folks at Don't Comply know this.

Musician strip searched and thrown in jail for singing without a license

Ryan Dalee Strader arrested for singing
In the land of the free, playing music in public can get you arrested and extorted. A street musician has found himself in a legal battle after a judge charged him with "soliciting without a license," stemming from an incident in which he was approached by police, and he responded by asking where he was legally allowed to play his guitar.

Ryan Dalee Strader was first hired by the Oklahoma City Arts Council in the early 2000s as a street performer. He said he typically "makes up songs on the spot about pedestrians as they were walking by." But his red carpet welcome was jerked out from under his feet, even though his act "Ry Dalee and Evangeline" has performed all over the state.

"I would watch as the cops would come and arrest people for performing on the street without a license, even though they had a license to do so," Strader said. After a while, he said he simply stopped buying the license to perform. In his mind, it did not matter to Oklahoma City who had a license, as all street performers were getting caught in the police state's dragnet. Strader decided to see if free speech was dead in America.
