95% of climate models since 1979 over-estimated warming. Not that this is news to anyone who's been paying attention.

Obama delays Obamacare mandate again... or further. He's delayed so many features of Obamacare nobody can say for sure whether this one is another delay, a further delay, or some other kind of unilateral illegal contradiction of the original legislation.

Here's another difference: Jews are a law-abiding industrious asset to whatever country they inhabit—Muslims are the opposite.
