There’s a showdown brewing. The establishment is about to come face-to-face with their biggest and most formidable enemy…President Trump, and it’s going to be an epic battle – one for the ages, actually. But the establishment is busy bluffing right now – and Steve Bannon, a swamp slayer himself – just called their bluff and exposed their weakness and their biggest fears. President Trump and his first round of impeachment lawyers parted ways because they did not want to bring up “election fraud.” Once he cut the establishment lawyers loose, President Trump hired a fiery legal team with some big-time...

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is considering whether to prosecute Steve Bannon for state crimes. The former senior White House advisor last month received a pardon in a federal criminal case from then-President Donald Trump. The inquiry by District Attorney Cyrus Vance’s office underscores the double-edged sword of presidential pardons, which only apply to federal crimes, not to state cases.

What really happened when Menachem Begin visited Washington during the First Lebanon War? ...snip... The “bitterest exchange,” however, writes the Times, was that between Prime Minister Begin and someone else still around today – Senator Joseph Biden. According to the report, Biden told Begin that he had no specific problems with the way in which the campaign in Lebanon was being fought, but objected to Israel’s policies in the “West Bank.” He claimed that Israel was losing its support in America due to its policy of establishing communities in the “occupied territories,” and, according to Begin himself (in a press...

After the Trump Justice Department sued Yale following the results of a 2-year Civil Rights investigation which found “long-standing and ongoing” race-based discrimination, the Biden DOJ just dismissed the case without explanation.

Net Zero, Climate Action, Build Back Better, and the Great Reset are some of the names for policies aimed at expediting the transition of the global energy sector from fossil fuel to renewable technology. The goal? Saving the planet from climate apocalypse. But there is a huge hurdle to make this transition a reality. Most of the world’s primary energy comes from coal, oil, and gas. Fossil fuels dominate the global energy sector, and there is a reason for that: they are reliable, abundant, and affordable. Further, with constant innovations, the amounts of pollutants emitted from burning them have been...

At a glance: Gov. Tom Wolf’s budget proposal once again includes a municipal fee that’s expected to raise $168 million for the Pennsylvania State Police. Unlike in previous years, when the proposal failed to pass the Legislature, this fee would be charged to all municipalities based partially on services rather than focusing on a specific group of communities. Across all funds, including a significant one-time infusion of COVID-19 aid via the federal government, the agency’s budget remains relatively flat at $1.38 billion. Over at the Department of Criminal Justice (corrections, probation and parole to us laypeople), total funding decreases slightly...

Earth spiked a bit of a fever in 2020, partly because of cleaner air from the pandemic lockdown, a new study found. For a short time, temperatures in some places in the eastern United States, Russia and China were as much as half to two-thirds of a degree (.3 to .37 degrees Celsius) warmer. That’s due to less soot and sulfate particles from car exhaust and burning coal, which normally cool the atmosphere temporarily by reflecting the sun’s heat, Tuesday’s study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters reported. Overall, the planet was about .05 degrees (.03 degrees Celsius) warmer for...

Germany’s Justice Ministry said Wednesday it has put forward a proposal to replace the term “race” in the country’s constitution after a row broke out over its links with Nazi ideology. “The Justice Ministry sent a draft proposal … to affected associations on Tuesday with the opportunity to comment,” a spokesman told AFP. Paragraph three in Germany’s Basic Law states that “no person shall be favored or disfavored because of sex, parentage, race, language, homeland and origin, faith or religious or political opinions”. But critics have taken aim at the word “race”, pushing for a change to the constitution in...

It’s ironic when the liberal media uses the left’s own faulty climate change metrics to complain about liberal cities' carbon emissions. Reuters whined in a new report that “U.S. cities are underestimating their carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 18%, according to a study released on Tuesday, potentially hindering their efforts to craft effective policies to combat climate change.” But the kicker is that the big outliers Reuters claimed were underestimating their emissions were all Democrat-run cities: “Big outliers included Los Angeles, whose self-reported emissions were roughly 50% below the Vulcan readings, along with Chicago and New York, both...

President Biden's recently appointed climate czar, John Kerry, took a private jet to Iceland in 2019 to receive the Arctic Circle award for climate leadership, Fox News has learned. Kerry defended his high-pollution ride at the time, calling it "the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle" in an interview obtained by Fox News. The incident had not been previously reported in the American press. -snip- Icelandic reporter Jóhann Bjarni Kolbeinsson confronted Kerry at the event over his choice of transportation, asking: "I understand that you came here with a private jet....

On September 9, 2001 terrorists flew planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, brought both towers to the ground, killed 2,977 people, and caused over 25,000 injuries, with $10 billion in infrastructure damage. 343 firefighters were killed, and 72 police officers. In the midst of all that desperation and despair the workers found a Cross amidst the wreckage. I believe the Cross was put there by the Sovereign God as a symbol demonstrating that Hope shines in the midst of great sorrow.

Fraunhofer researchers have presented a magnesium-based "Powerpaste" that stores hydrogen energy at 10 times the density of a lithium battery, offering hydrogen fuel cell vehicles the ability to travel further than gasoline-powered ones, and refuel in minutes.

Rennie Davis, who lived out one of the more quixotic journeys of the 1960s generation when he went from leading opponent of the Vietnam War, as a convicted member of the Chicago Seven, to spokesman for a teenage Indian guru, died on Tuesday at his home in Longmont, Colo. He was 79. His wife, Kirsten Liegmann, who announced the death on his Facebook page, said the cause was lymphoma, adding that a large tumor had been discovered only two weeks ago. Smart, charismatic and a blur of energy and engagement, Mr. Davis was a leading figure of the antiwar movement....

President Donald Trump pointed a “loaded cannon” at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, and is “singularly responsible” for the riot that day. Or so claim House Impeachment Managers in a legal brief filed Tuesday.Before we go even a step further: These are the same impeachment-crazed House Democrats who last year impeached Donald Trump for a phone call. A phone call where he casually asked Ukraine’s president about the illicit Biden family activities there … activities that we now know the FBI was already investigating.These are the same House Democrats who spent three years insisting Trump was a Russian asset...

The CDC website tells Americans to avoid shouting or cheering during this year’s Super Bowl to help avoid the spread of COVID-19. The Super Bowl final will take place on Sunday between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Raymond James Stadium. Despite the fact that the stadium seats 65,890, only 25,000 are being allowed in, leaving the rest forced to watch at home or in bars. With that in mind, the CDC has added a new section to its website called ‘Safer Ways to Enjoy the Super Bowl’. ====================================================== “Gathering virtually or with the people...
