Countries remaining in Paris climate agreement issue OMINOUS threat
When President Trump pulled out of the Paris climate accord last week, his critics — including former President Barack Obama — said he was turning his back on the future and joining only Syria and Nicaragua in refusing to take part. But for many that remain in the accord, the demands for cash are fueling the argument that the Paris agreement, at its core, is as much about redistributing international wealth as it is about saving the planet from climate change. Supporters of the deal routinely point out that 193 countries have signed on. Although that is technically true, the vast majority of commitments offered in Paris would result in emissions increases or would require billions of dollars in funding — or, in many cases, both. “Claiming that 193 countries signed on is a meaningless statement, which is likely why it’s made. The meaningful way to view it is that 193 countries agreed that the U.S. should harm itself and to gladly pay on Tuesday for the U.S. to harm itself today,” said Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and a leading critic of the Paris pact.

CNN's Cillizza Demands Examples of Fake News, Tidal Wave Ensues
There are people who appear to live in hermetically sealed bubbles, and then there's Chris Cillizza, formerly of the Washington Post but now at CNN. On the apparently safe assumption that he really thought President Donald Trump and the public would have a hard time coming up with answers, Cillizza challenged the Commander in Chief and, and in effect the Twitterverse, to "name a (news) story that is 'fake' or 'incorrect.'" A tidal wave of specific responses arrived in short order.
Bozell & Graham Column: Comey Flunks The New York Times
Liberal media outlets like The New York Times have a political objective driving their coverage: ruin President Trump. This is why the “news” producers treated former FBI director Jim Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee as a Watergate Moment, a first impeachment hearing to be broadcast live on every “news” channel on television. Liberals in Washington took the day off and went to bars to celebrate the Beginning of the End. The media celebrated the celebrations. So when Comey admitted that he was a leaker, using a law-professor buddy to send his “Dear Diary” worries on President Trump to The New York Times, we at last had a poster boy for the Trump-haters who were anonymously directing the narrative that dominated the media.
False Tweet Sends Media Into Overdrive on Warriors' Boycott of Trump White House
Today will not go into the annals of "Great Days in Journalism History." It's a day of shame for much of the left-stream media, which proved that a lie travels halfway around the world before the truth puts on its boots. The day started with Josh Brown, a commentator on CNBC, spinning a big fib in a Tweet to his 721,000 followers about how the newly crowned NBA champion Golden State Warriors had unanimously decided to boycott the Trump White House, "per reports."
Law Enforcement Joins Coalition to End Sports Gambling Ban
A new coalition which includes many former law enforcement officials have come together for one mission: to end the unconstitutional ban on legal sports betting. For the last 25 years Americans have been breaking the law; spending hundreds of billions of dollars gambling on sports illegally. The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which was intended to protect the integrity of our nation’s sporting events and consumers from the evils of gambling, has clearly failed. Instead, it created an enormous black market that has left consumers vulnerable to crime and stripped the states of their right to regulate and tax this type of commerce within their own borders. This week, the American Gaming Association (AGA) launched a new coalition with one mission: end the unconstitutional ban on legal sports betting.

Pulling out of Paris should induce other countries to reassess their relationship to the Paris Agreement, especially developing countries that joined in hopes of receiving hundreds of billions of dollars from the United States in “climate finance.” In short, pulling out of Paris should diminish the prestige, momentum, and cohesion of a treaty adopted in part to facilitate policy coordination by large numbers of nations to penalize U.S. energy-intensive products in global trade.

Hungary's NGOs to fight crackdown law
Dozens of civil society groups in Hungary pledged to fight a controversial legislation passed by parliament on Tuesday (13 June) and is seen as a crackdown on foreign-funded NGOs. The new law, passed by 130 Yes votes, and 44 No votes, will force NGOs that receive more than €24,000 in a year from a foreign donor to register as a “foreign-funded organisation”, otherwise they will be forced to closed down.

EU migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos told reporters in Strasbourg on Tuesday (13 June) that all three states had neglected their legal obligations to take in asylum seekers from Italy and Greece.
UK set for joint rule with Northern Irish zealots
The British government is preparing to share power with a Northern Irish party, that is known, if at all, for its anti-gay views and for its links with sectarian killers. A coalition deal with the Democratic Unionists Party (DUP) is the only way for British prime minister Theresa May and her Conservative Party to stay in power after she haemorrhaged support in last Thursday’s (8 June) snap election.

Bear constantly in mind the truth that the aim of your discipline should be to produce a self-governing being; not to produce a being to be governed by others. Were your children fated to pass their lives as slaves, you could not too much accustom them to slavery during their childhood; but as they are by and by to be free men, with no one to control their daily conduct, you cannot too much accustom them to self-control while they are still under your eye.

The Bureaucrat Behind the Curtain
The federal government is rife with people who do their jobs away from the spotlight, wielding a measure of influence that can even outweigh that of their bosses. You may be aware that its current administrator is a man appointed by President Trump, Scott Pruitt. But there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Francesca Grifo. If President Trump wants to make any headway at the EPA and other federal agencies, he needs to do more than appoint good people to run them.

Congress has a pathological spending problem
This week, Nancy Pelosi and Steven Mnunchin are both advocating for a “clean” debt ceiling hike. Sounds good, right? Clean must be better than dirty. Wrong. This is just more misdirection from politicians. There is no virtue in a “clean” debt ceiling increase. In fact, anytime a politician is advocating for a “clean” piece of legislation, chances are, he or she is trying to avoid the hard work of change.

Trump's $1-trillion infrastructure spending plan continues to be one of his less controversial proposed policies. In Washington, and even among many in the general public, there is a consensus that government spending on more roads and bridges is always necessarily a slam dunk for the economy. Unfortunately, they're often wrong.
In this review of two new books on social class, Theordore Dalrymple examines some of the realities that frustrate the efforts of the egalitarians. A few years ago, I was taken to lunch in a grand New York club by some very rich men. They gave me the benefit of their opinion on Britain’s rigid class system. They appeared not to notice that, at that very moment, they were being served by a flurry of obsequious men, whose grovelling was certainly the equal of any that I had seen anywhere in the world.
