This year's economic shutdowns have done little to reduce the world's carbon emissions. While pollution has dipped, greenhouse gases keep accumulating in the atmosphere, locking in future decades of climate disruption and extreme weather. A recent United Nations report says the so-called emissions gap - the "difference between where we are likely to be and where we need to be" on climate policy - is as big as ever. As for who's chiefly responsible for the gap, it's the global rich, the report says. Just 10% of the world's population emits nearly half of the world's carbon pollution. The top...

I’d like to share my observation that a common thread exists amongst the various left-leaning political groups. I'm seeking related opinions.Liberalism, Social Democracy, Socialism, and the Progressive Agenda all have this in common; each requires the government to legislate in areas where Congress is NOTconstitutionally empowered to legislate. The left doesn’t set about this by proposing amendments to the Constitution; they set about this by using courts to circumvent the Constitution.

With a mane of yellow and brown fur down its back and long ‘needles’ growing from its shoulders, a peacock-like elaborate dinosaur has been identified. The neck spines of the creature are rare in the fossil record and made of keratin, which is the same protein that makes up parts of our hair, nails and skin. Dubbed Ubirajara jubatus, indigenous Indian for ‘Maned Lord of the Spear’ Experts led from the University of Portsmouth believe the flamboyant spines may have been used to impress prospective mates, and that the dinosaur may have indulged in ‘elaborate dancing’ to show them off.

Two San Diego strip clubs can remain open and make their own determinations about providing a safe environment for dancers and patrons during the pandemic, a judge ruled Wednesday. The decision dealt a setback to Gov. Gavin Newsom's health order that calls for such establishments to be shuttered. The scope of San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel Wohlfeil's preliminary injunction appeared to extend far beyond the two clubs that sued the state to potentially all of the thousands of restaurants in San Diego County, the state's second-largest county after Los Angeles. On Wednesday night, Supervisor Jim Desmond tweeted that the...

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:20-21 (King James Version) The more this election process goes on the more America finds out about the processes of the fraud the more chance President Trump has of finding...

Joe Biden will never be my president, period. This election was stolen for him even if he is the only one who does not know it. He is a despicable man who has been one of the most divisive politicians of the last half century. He is a kleptocratic pederast and rapist (forced digital penetration is rape -- ask Tara Reade). In a more just world, he would receive nothing but scorn. Americans know this election was stolen. And just in case we did not realize how little respect they have for us, Democrats boasted continuously of their millenarian machinations...

The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday charged Robinhood with deceiving customers about how the stock trading app makes money and failing to deliver the promised best execution of trades. Robinhood agreed to pay a $65 million civil penalty, without admitting or denying SEC’s findings. “Between 2015 and late 2018, Robinhood made misleading statements and omissions in customer communications, including in FAQ pages on its website, about its largest revenue source when describing how it made money – namely, payments from trading firms in exchange for Robinhood sending its customer orders to those firms for execution, also known as ‘payment...

Kayleigh McEnany walked away from a press briefing where she lashed out at the media for their failure to cover the Hunter Biden scandal, leaving CNN’s Jim Acosta to shout one last lonely, attention-seeking question accusing her of disinformation. The White House Press Secretary addressed the mainstream media’s refusal to cover a scandal that could have swayed the election, blasted them for suppressing information to the American people, and hammering their effort to create a campaign of confusion by alleging it was simply ‘Russian disinformation’ all along. We’ve covered extensively how the mainstream media essentially worked on behalf of the...

WASHINGTON, Sunday, Dec. 16. In my dispatch of Friday, I am made to say, in speaking of the rumors as to the cause of Secretary CASS' resignation, "all these rumors are untrue." It should have been, "two" of them are untrue. The other -- the refusal of the President to send troops to Charleston -- was the cause of the withdrawal of Gen. CASS from the Cabinet, as his letter to Mr. BUCHANAN proves. I understand that the President's reply is in course of preparation, and that it will be very severe upon the late Premier. It appears that Gen....

Sidney Powell's "Kraken" has finally made it to the docket of the Supreme Court. The suit is perhaps the strongest collective argument yet against voter fraud. It contains the forensic audit done in Michigan that proves systemic voter fraud occurred through the Dominion Voting System tabulation. It also has proof of at least 200,000 FRAUDULANT VOTES casted in the election. Further, it contains official Georgia elections records that prove the Dominion Voting Systems program's "inability to repeatably duplicate creditable election results." In other words, official Georgia election canvassers could not rely on Dominion Voting Systems' software to count the vote...

Dr. Anthony Fauci complained Wednesday in an interview with the Washington Post that America’s tradition of individualism and freedom is making the coronavirus pandemic worse. The Washington Post asked Fauci if the spike in cases was the fault of America’s individualist tradition or President Donald Trump’s refusal to demand national mandates.

Last week, President-Elect Biden tapped two prominent individuals at the world’s largest money-management firm for key positions within the new administration’s economic team. Brian Deese, a BlackRock managing director who is responsible for overseeing the sustainable investment strategy of the firm, has been named as the new head of the National Economic Council. Wally Adeyemo, who served as a senior advisor at BlackRock and was Chief of Staff to CEO Larry Fink, has been nominated for U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury. Staffing is Policy as the DC saying goes, and such corporate picks might be a disappointment to some...
