Am I the only one who finds it head-scratching that President Joe Biden, who wants to spend $2 trillion of taxpayer money on "infrastructure," is the same president whose first act in the White House was to kill a multibillion-dollar oil and gas pipeline that would create some 15,000 jobs? The Keystone pipeline that he canceled was vital to our energy infrastructure and wasn't going to cost taxpayers a penny. The Biden infrastructure plan is a head fake. The agenda here isn't about creating "millions of new jobs." It's a declaration of war against one of the largest sources of...

Biden, Bloomberg, and Gates will only make it worse. The climate is warming! No, the climate is cooling! We’re all gonna die! The answer is...all true. Folks just need to chill out and understand that climate’s gonna climate, and that’s all there is to it. The sun is a very steady oscillator says Prof. Valentina Zharkova, of Northumbria University. I have followed her work with great interest since watching her presentation at the Global Warming Policy Forum in 2018. She confidently predicted a Modern Grand Solar Minimum (GSM) running from 2020 through 2053, about half as long as the previous...

One hundred and thirty-two years later, the truth of what happened here in May 1889 is still difficult to put into words. Standing on the very soil where Col. Elias Unger, the last president of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, had his home overlooking Lake Conemaugh, you can see from the distance where the Pittsburgh elite had their grand fishing club and elaborate cottages along the shoreline. Look right and you can also see the remnants of the poorly maintained dam that once held back their pristine private lake. It gave way on May 31, 1889, after days...

The Green New Deal is an all-encompassing attack on capitalism, wealth creation, and freedom; it’s a vehicle for a “fundamental transformation” of our constitutional republic. As far back as 1996, Mikhail Gorbachev laid bare the agenda driving climate alarmism: “The threat of environmental crisis will be the international disaster key to unlock the New World Order.” He was underscoring the importance of advancing Marxist objectives by creating an emergency to convince people they must surrender freedom to be safe. That idea has been parlayed over the decades into a global campaign of the Left to control vibrant economies, end individual...

Back in college I knew a guy, a friend of a friend, who drove a city bus in Detroit. When my car was broken down, which happens a lot when you buy a junk car for $400 off someone your parents know, I’d have to take the bus downtown to class and every once in a while I’d find myself on a bus he was driving. I’d sit in front and talk with him because I knew him. Because I knew him, I knew he was crazy – a crazy Marxist.But he was a real Marxist. I remember one drunken...

Last week, police arrested Eric Gael Hernandez-Mendez on suspicion of murder. Earlier reports stated the suspect was one of Matos’ two roommates, and the two had gone to high school together. The News & Observer now reports that Matos and Hernandez-Mendez were married on March...

Biden releasing 1000's of illegals into the country, after apprehension at the border, is effectively aiding the drug cartel business, says Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), explaining that the Biden government is functioning as a “logistics” arm for cartels, criminal organizations that operate at illegal entryways into the US from Mexico. “..... it’s how to move product from the depot to delivery. Before Biden, you'd hire the cartel which subcontracted to the coyote, who was either an employee or a subcontractor; that coyote’s jobs was to deliver the product, a human being, trafficked over the border.” The Arizona congressman detailed a...

ince last voicing Apu on “The Simpsons” in 2017, Hank Azaria says he now feels the character is “basically a slur at this point” and that he should apologize “to every single Indian person in this country” for voicing the character for nearly three decades.

GraceLife Church held an in-person service at an undisclosed location Sunday after Alberta Health Services (AHS) erected metal fencing around the building last week for violating COVID-19 health orders. The Parkland County church posted a video to YouTube on Monday of the service, which was led by pastor James Coates. During the service, Coates described the actions by AHS as having “jailed” the church’s facility. AHS with assistance from RCMP shuttered the building last Wednesday after months of defiance of provincial health orders. It’s unclear where exactly the church held its Sunday service but one performer on the video described...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has hung signs on all the major interstate highways entering Florida informing everyone traveling by road into the state that the Sunshine State has implemented E-Verify, a background check system for employers to see if prospective hires are in fact legally authorized to work in the United States. The signs, DeSantis’s office told Breitbart News, are now visible on all three main interstate gateways into Florida along I-10, I-95, and I-75. The signs come after Florida’s legislature last year passed E-Verify measures which DeSantis signed into law last summer. “I want all residents and visitors to...
