New Science On The Young Sun And Earth Migration: New Progressive COSMOS Series Continues To Follow Sagan's Secular Model 40 years later
"In 1972, Carl Sagan addressed the issue of the young sun by suggesting that ammonia in the atmosphere of the early Earth would have enhanced the greenhouse effect and kept Earth warm, similar to the way Venus’s thick atmosphere is kept hot. Scientists have explored a number of variations on Sagan’s idea, such as the atmosphere having higher concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide.
The usual accepted answer today in the scientific community to the young sun paradox is still that Earth’s atmosphere was once more dense than today and had an enhanced greenhouse effect that kept it hot for possibly tens of millions of years. So this answer to the young sun issue applies atmospheric science. Sagan’s original idea is not likely because ammonia is very susceptible to destruction by ultraviolet radiation." . . . Creation
- New Genetic-Clock Research Challenges Millions Of Years
"The evolutionary results cannot in any way be explained by invoking a slower mutation rate in the past. First, this would be inconsistent with the assumption of constant rates and constant processes invoked in astronomy and geology.
Second, for species to be as genetically similar as they are today yet as old as the evolutionists claim, they would need to mutate only once every 21,000–36,000 years and consistently so for millions of years (Table 1).
This incredibly slow rate is completely counter to the actual mutation rates observed in genetics; in fact, rates this slow seem biologically impossible.These results appear to present a dramatic challenge to the millions of years espoused by evolution and old-earth creation, and they seem to powerfully confirm the biblical account. . . .

Nevada Governor Blasts Feds’ ‘First Amendment Area’ In Bundy Dispute
"On Sunday, Cliven Bundy promised to launch a “range war” on federal officials after they began rounding up his cattle. Authorities are justifying the move by pointing out they are simply enforcing a 1993 rule change which prevents Bundy’s livestock from grazing on the land in order to protect the endangered desert tortoise.
Bundy and his supporters see the spat as something entirely different, portraying it as a clash between out of control big government and patriotic American family farmers.
With Bundy’s ranch under constant surveillance from armed agents ensconced inside what Ryan Bundy described as a 'military compound,' some fear the standoff could lead to a Ruby Ridge or Waco-style tragedy." . . . InfoWars

You Won’t Believe Why This Marine Is Facing Eviction
"After serving three tours in Iraq, it is obvious that Marine Corps Sgt. Manuel E. Vega is proud of his country and his service. In expression of his dedication, he has displayed United States and Marine flags at his residence in Fredricksburg, Va.
The two flags have been flying since last year; however, Salem Run Apartment Home’s management has been complaining to him about the displays recently. Unless he agrees to take them down, he will reportedly be evicted from his home." . . . WesternJournalism
A Government Every American Should Fear
"The U.S. Supreme Court delivered evidence to the American people Monday that they should fear their own government. That’s according to the Alliance Defending Freedom, which fought all the way to the highest court to protect a New Mexico photographer’s freedoms of speech, conscience and religion.
Ultimately, however, the life-tenured justices refused to hear the case, allowing to stand a decision that effectively allows government to force individuals to promote messages they oppose, ADF said." . . . WND
Mexican Soldiers Draw Guns On U.S. Agents
The [Obama administration] U.S. government is taking no action on an 'unbelievable foray' in which two Mexican soldiers came across the border near Sasabe, Ariz., and held U.S. Border Patrol agents at gunpoint for half an hour, according to a government watchdog organization.
Judicial Watch, in its Corruption Chronicles file, said that after the 35-minute 'tense confrontation,' Jan. 26, the Mexican soldiers retreated south across the border 'as if nothing ever happened, and the Obama administration just let it slide.'" . . . WND
Is Lying About Climate Change Okay?
"Those of us who have chronicled the global warming hoax, now called 'climate change', know that it is based on decades of lies about carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gas' with predictions that the Earth will heat up and cause massive problems unless those emissions are drastically reduced by not using coal, oil and natural gas.
Two American think tanks, The Heartland Institute and the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) have been among those exposing those lies for years. The lies have been generated and led by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
'Despite the panel’s insistence that the Earth is getting hotter, five different datasets show that there have been no observable warming for 17 and a half years even as carbon dioxide levels have risen 12%,” notes Christopher Monckton, a science advisor to Britain’s former Prime Minister Thatcher. “The discrepancy between prediction and observation continues to grow.'" . . .

Hope & Change, Really?
"So what is it with this president who was going to change the nasty tone of politics as usual? There aren’t too many possibilities.
Either he’s a liar – (a word I try very hard not to use when talking about any U.S. president) — who will turn Americans against each other simply for political gain, simply to get women mad enough about how they’re supposedly treated in the workplace so they’ll vote for Democrats in November – and take their pretty little minds off of ObamaCare … or he is monumentally incompetent and really thinks that greedy, bottom-line, corporate thugs are paying men more just to keep the gals in their place." - BernardGoldberg
Bowdoin College Publicly Displays Pictures Of Naked Female Students Posing In Groups . . . Because It's Art
"A small student body in Maine just became a naked student body — at least, its female parts. Bowdoin College, a private liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine, opened the “Celebrating Women, Celebrating Bodies” exhibit featuring naked photos of its female students on Thursday night.
The photos are prominently displayed on campus in the Larmarche Gallery, which is located within the David Saul Smith Union. It’s open throughout the day, and is accessible to male students, professors and administrators alike." . . . DailyCaller
Muslim Cleric Urges Homeless Women To Become Sex-Slaves
"Within the context of keeping the Syrian jihad alive, it seems there is no end to the attempts of some Islamic clerics to legitimize otherwise forbidden behavior in order to gratify the sexual urges of the jihadis and keep them fighting Syrian president Bashar Assad.
First, there was the now infamous “sex-jihad” fatwa, which holds that any Muslim woman who willingly allows her body to be used by the sexually-deprived jihadis becomes herself a jihadi, if not a “martyr,” deserving of all the honor and rewards associated with those titles." . . . FrontPage

“'How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.' – Ronald Reagan
With roots emanating from the ideology of the Marxist/Leninist Era, the American Fifth Column presents a menace from within, a threat to the longevity of our uniquely American way of life. These roots, nurtured and further developed during the counter-culture revolution of the of the 1960s and 1970s and now taught in classrooms across America as 'tolerance,' 'multiculturalism' and 'diversity' have evolved into a unique yet visionless ideology, which holds that our most basic constitutional tenets are the central cause for many of the social ills here in the United States and around the world." . . .

City Permits Muslim Group To Desecrate Catholic Church
"Hundreds of locals signed a petition expressing their desire to see the Christian monument remain intact. Nevertheless, the city board voted in favor of the Islamic remodel, allowing the historic crosses to be toppled and a six-foot high fence to be erected around the perimeter.
The church, formerly known as Holy Trinity Catholic Church, was built about a century ago by German immigrants. The church closed four years ago, and its parishioners merged with a nearby congregation. Those opposed to the removal of the crosses, however, contend the act would amount to defacing the property." . . . WesternJournalism

Christians In China Stand Bravely Against Communist Persecution
"Now is always the time to stand with our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted all around the world. Here at Eagle Rising we have tried to keep you up to date on the constant threat faced by our fellow believers in the Muslim world – but that is not the only place where they are being persecuted.
During the Cold War, the communist Soviet Union worked aggressively to stamp out the Christian faith within its borders. The USSR spread the gospel of hate, repression and persecution wherever it could, attempting to snuff out Christianity and replace it with strict state-favored atheism. China, Cambodia, Vietnam and North Korea all joined the USSR in their state sanctioned persecution of the church, and while the persecution has grown less severe in all but North Korea, it still exists." . . .

Illinois Enacts Concealed Carry Law. Chicago Sees Drop In Crime
"The predictable response from the left was of course that more guns would mean even more violence, especially in places like Chicago. But so far, that hasn’t happened yet. In fact, quite the contrary:
On Tuesday, the Chicago Police Department announced that the city experienced its lowest murder rate since 1958 in the first quarter of 2014. There were 6 fewer murders than the same timeframe in 2013 — a 9 percent drop — and 55 fewer murders than 2012, police said. Further, there were reportedly 90 fewer shootings and 119 fewer shooting victims compared to last year. There have also been 222 fewer shootings and 292 fewer shooting victims compared to the first quarter in 2012.
All crime is down 25 percent from 2013 and police say they have confiscated over 1,300 illegal guns in the last three months." . . . LastResistance

Banned From Facebook For Insulting Islam?
"Did I 'attack others' based on religion? No. An attack requires a recipient. There was no recipient of what I said. Like the rest of the nearly 18,000 people in the group, I expressed a negative opinion about Islam. I mean, it’s a bloody Facebook group, for goodness’ sake, specifically about being anti-Islam. Facebook didn’t have to ban me. It was pointless. Plus, the fatwa for my head for insulting Islam would have been enough, no?" . . . LastResistance
