So is it "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" that you are implying?

Where did this record occur? Certainly not where I live in Wisconsin, nor in major cities south and southwest.

Philips, any comments? Ahmed the 'clock boy' on celebrity tour in Saudi Arabia Made headlines after 'making' device resembling bomb wnd.com “Clock Boy” Ahmed Mohamed, center, and his family tour the Qatar Foundation in Doha, Qatar, Oct. 4, 2015. (Image: Qatar Foundation) Texas teenager Ahmed Mohamed brought a clock that looked like a bomb to school. His dad is a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. And with a little help from President Obama, they have been treated like celebrities in New York, Qatar, and now Saudi Arabia. It was only weeks ago that 14-year-old Mohamed brought his “suitcase clock” to MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, on Sept. 14. Cops temporarily detained him and school officials imposed a three-day suspension, but the ensuing media attention prompted an invite to the White House by Obama. Attention by dignitaries around the globe followed. Mohamed and his family arrived at Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, last Friday. They landed after spending time with Turkey’s prime minister at the U.N.’s General Assembly in New York, and touring an “education city” in Doha, Qatar, funded by the Qatari government. Awad Qarshom, head of the Sudanese community in Jeddah, told Arab News on Saturday a celebration was organized to honor Mohamed. “Ahmed Al-Hassan will be honored by the creativity committee of the Sudanese community in Jeddah during a celebration which will be organized soon with prominent personalities of the community in the Kingdom and journalists of the Sudanese media including TV and newspapers,” Qarshom said. The family also plans to visit relatives and take part in umrah (a pilgrimage to Mecca), hosted by the Saudi government. In “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance,” renowned activist Pamela Geller provides the answer, offering proven, practical guidance on how freedom lovers can stop jihadist initiatives in local communities. Mohammed Elhassan Mohamed, the boy’s father, immigrated to the U.S. in the mid-80s from Sudan. He has twice attempted to become the North African country’s president as part of the Arabic-language National Reform Party. The official Facebook page for the 50-year-old’s political party has been locked by moderators since its support for 9/11 conspiracy theories was publicized Oct. 6. “Yesterday [Friday, September 11, 2015] was the anniversary observed in the United States of America on what is called ‘September 11th.’ This was the miracle that came to America in the form of terrorism – which offered her the invasion of Islamic countries (headed by Afghanistan and Iraq), which she saw as a great threat – on a golden plate,” a recent Facebook post by Asad al-Barari said, WND reported. “Thus [the events of September 11th] are but an American media creation, no matter how some may try to label them as ‘Islamic terrorism.’ They were indeed terrorism, but terrorism American style – terrorism that sweeps away and annihilates whole countries, and not those few buildings in the midst of New York City.” The Mohamed family’s celebrity status continues to frustrate school officials in Irving, Texas, who insist evidence they cannot publicly disclose due to child privacy laws tells a different story of the boy’s ordeal. Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne told the Dallas Morning News Oct. 8 that Ahmed’s family continues to deny permission requested by Irving School District officials to release its records. “The family is ignoring the requests from the ISD,” Van Duyne told the newspaper. “If the family grants us written permission to release the information, we would be happy to provide additional facts to the media,” school district spokeswoman Lesley Weaver told reporters shortly after Obama invited the boy to the White House Sept. 16. Thomas Bowers and Reggie London, attorneys representing the family, did not respond last Friday when asked for comment by the Dallas Morning News.

Philips, this is how your kind treat blacks, even if they are kids. C.J. Pearson, conservative black activist, denounced Sixth-grade teacher: He's 'not worth saving in a fire' wnd.com C.J. Pearson, the conservative black activist who made media waves with his 13-year-old critical insights into President Obama’s psyche, has come under attack from a somewhat surprising source: his sixth-grade teacher. BizPac Review reported Pearson said his teacher at Columbia Middle School in Evans, Georgia, told fellow students he was “not worth saving in a fire.” AllenBWest.com, the blog of former Florida congressman, Allen West, also said Pearson claimed the teacher, named Michael Garrison, told students he “hates him [C.J.].” Get the hottest, most important news stories on the Internet – delivered FREE to your inbox as soon as they break! Take just 30 seconds and sign up for WND’s Email News Alerts! As AllenBWest.com reported: “Pearson told BizPac, ‘My word are bold and I don’t expect everyone to agree. But to have a teacher say this about me? Completely inexcusable. I hope the Columbia County School District addresses this. Also, our school has zero tolerance bullying standards for students. I hope that standard isn’t easily forgotten when it comes to teachers.” BizPac Review reported Eli Putnam, the school’s principal, promsied a full investigation. In a statement, Putnam said: “This was brought to our attention after it was posted on social media. [We] will conduct a full review of the allegations. … Columbia Middle School believes all students should be taught in a safe and positive environment. Accordingly, if the claims are substantiated, we will handle the issue as a personnel matter.” “The Death of Free Speech: How Our Broken National Dialogue Has Killed the Truth and Divided America” examines how the news media has created arbitrary, biased and illogical rules for determining what can and cannot be said in the public arena. As WND reported, Pearson posted a video earlier this year that said this of Obama: “President Obama, you don’t love America. If you really did love America, you would call ISIS what it really is: an assault on Christianity, an assault on American and downright hate for the American values that our country holds – freedom of speech, freedom of religion and every single thing that our country stands for.”

Republican candidates certainly have some ideas on foreign policy, but diplomacy has not exactly been one of them. In fact, the word "diplomacy" has only been uttered one time over two GOP presidential debates. During a discussion about how to handle Russian intervention in Syria on Tuesday, Clinton took the opportunity to demonstrate her experience. "You know, diplomacy is not about getting to the perfect solution. It's about how you balance the risks," she said. "I think we have an opportunity here and I know that inside the administration this is being hotly debated to get that leverage to try to get the Russians to have to deal with everybody in the region and begin to move toward a political diplomatic solution in Syria."
