The scientist who led the international MOSAiC expedition to the North Pole on Tuesday warned that the point could have already been reached at which irreversible global warming is triggered. During its expedition, the German research vessel “Polarstern” drifted through the Arctic on an ice floe for a year to also be able to research the winter at the North Pole, and the effects of climate change. “The disappearance of summer sea ice in the Arctic is one of the first landmines in this minefield, one of the tipping points that we set off first when we push warming too...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Republicans trying to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her tweet was the “height of hypocrisy.” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Republicans are calling for a censure of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar for tweeting, and I quote, ‘We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We’ve seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan and the Taliban.’ She clarified she was referring to an investigation by the International Criminal Court that names all of them. What do...

Fear of being called racist and Islamophobic kept many Jewsish Democrats from condemning Ilhan Omar's comparison of Israel and America to terrorist groups.It doesn’t take much courage for an American politician to publicly oppose antisemitism. But only under certain circumstances.If the person or group that stands guilty of hatred of Jews is a conservative, a Republican, or someone who can be tied to the political right, it’s open season on them. But if it’s a Democrat or someone who can hide behind the label “person of color” or a potential victim of “Islamophobia,” then she can count on woke mobs...

Mr. Gatto (along with Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt), blew the whistle on deliberate dumbing down (on the Prussian model, crushing the imagination of children because it caused them to lose to Napoleon). Mr. Gatto said that the children of the elites have no advantage over ghetto kids "who have never eaten off a tablecloth". The opposite: elite prep schools, the Groton, Brook, St. Albans, Episcopal High & Andover, produce the idiots who presume to rule us. (Thomas Sowell waxed eloquent about how stupid top experts are.) Point in fact (from Samuel Blumenfeld, "Crimes of the Educators"): John D. Rockefeller Jr. funded...

I believe femininity to be a lost art. Indeed, it is an art. Femininity is in stark contrast to feminism in that it requires care, finesse, and confidence in who you were created to be to achieve it. Feminism, not so much. I find femininity to be effortless. Unlike the constant and incessant haranguing of feminists to prove their place in the world, women who are feminine present no such display of posturing. The differences between femininity and feminism are, in my humble opinion, obvious; however, for those who remain confounded by its mystique, indulge me in this “Compare and...

Former President Barack Obama is planning his first post-2020 fundraiser for Democrat redistricting efforts June 28. The invitation says the virtual event features former Attorney General Eric Holder and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to benefit National Democratic Redistricting Committee. The initiative comes as Democrats face a difficult midterm election to hold the House, as many Democrat-laden states, such as New York and California, are losing at least one House district to red states like Florida and Texas. For Democrats to maintain their slim majority in the House, they must raise money to mount legal challenges to any redistricting that...

Jack Posobiec — “Trudeau overheard telling staffers he expects Kamala Harris to be President by the end of 2022, per WH official attending G7.”

“Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and anger gave orders to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; then these men were brought before the king. Nebuchadnezzar responded and said to them, ‘Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up? Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you will not worship, you will immediately...

After scripture tells us about Job’s horrific losses, we’re told that God comes to him and says, “Look now at the behemoth [the hippopotamus], which I made along with you” (Job 40:15, NKJV) and a little later, “Can you draw out Leviathan [the crocodile] with a hook? Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?” (Job 41:1). Why would God include these two massive monsters in his revelation to Job? Why would God have Job look into the faces of a hippopotamus and a crocodile? First, the Lord posed this problem to his servant: “Look, Job. Here comes...

Biden can't stop asking reporters to 'give him a break' when the corporate media repeatedly hand him break after break on silver platters.Joe Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor. Kamala Harris’ oh-so-cool Timberland boots. The Biden family dogs. Playing Mario Kart at Camp David with the Biden grandkids. The president’s early bedtime and fires in the Oval Office fireplace. These are just a handful of the softball topics the corporate media have fawned over since even before Biden took office, a drastic reversal of tone to their antagonistic coverage of the Trump administration.But the corporate media fan club isn’t enough to...

The Who’s Roger Daltrey didn’t hold back his feelings on ‘woke’ culture as he joined Dan Wootton on GB News on Monday night. The frontman made an appearance on Dan’s second show on the new channel, following Lord Alan Sugar’s guest spot during its debut over the weekend. When pressed for his opinion on woke Britain, Roger responded: ‘I just feel, where’s humour? If you’re going to micromanage every emotion you ever have and you live in fear of upsetting someone or being objectionable. ‘We all have the right to be objectionable to anyone we meet.

During a Tuesday appearance on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) promised that if the GOP wins the House, he would not allow Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to serve on the Foreign Affairs Committee. McCarthy pointed out that Omar has made “antisemitic” remarks in the past, adding “she’s anti-American now” that she is equating the United States and Israel to terrorist organizations

According to The Daily Mail, a document from a meeting with the European Commission revealed that Facebook Vice President Nick Clegg admitted that his company’s ‘fact-checkers’ could be politically biased. While many on the left have supported steps the social media giant took to try to stamp out “misinformation” and “fake news,” conservatives have warned all along that that the fact-checkers would likely be biased and left-wing. Conservative outlets – like The Political Insider – have been deeply and negatively impacted by Facebook’s biased “fact-checking” partners. Facebook’s reversal of their policy to block content suggesting that COVID came from a...

Joe Biden is a train wreck in slow motion. Biden's G7 performance was a complete disaster from start to end. He repeatedly confused Syria and Libya. https://rumble.com/vihjdl-bidens-brain-sputters-out-as-he-rambles-idiotically-confuses-syria-and-liby.htmlHe said he'd swap cyber criminals with Putin. Speaking during the conclusion of the G-7 summit of world leaders in Britain, Biden was asked about Putin’s proposal about each country turning over cybercriminals. “I’m open to it if there’s crimes committed against Russia. That in fact the people committing those crimes are being harbored in the United States, I’m committed to holding him accountable,” Biden said, adding that he learned of Putin’s comments after...

Actor Jon Voight slammed the media for remaining silent on the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden and his use of the N-word in text messages, subsequently praising former President Donald Trump for leading the country with “dignity” while he was in the White House.“What is this, a race? A war?” Voight said in a roughly two-minute video posted on social media Sunday. “The left — they’re OK with slurs. It’s OK for Biden’s son to use racist slurs, and no one says a word, not the media — no one.”“Why was it OK to beat down President Trump with cruel intention...

In school, you likely learned about logarithmic functions. You likely learned about the American Revolutionary War. You might have even learned about electrochemical bonds. But did you learn anything about the importance of fiscal responsibility or how to manage your basic finances?The unfortunate reality is that personal finance is not a required curriculum in the public education system, and few schools in this country offer financial courses as electives. As a result, we have entire generations of people who don’t know the first thing about personal finance or economics -- and it shows.We’re severely underestimating and underutilizing the power of...

Introduction Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been gaining traction in organizations throughout the Western world for over 50 years, but increasingly so for the past 5 years leading up to 2021. It is either highly criticized or highly-regarded, with little room for fence-sitting—a phenomenon facilitated by the widespread adoption of social media. This essay will attempt to provide additional information about the connections between Critical Race Theory and its philosophical parent Critical Theory (CT). A thorough reading of the historical development of both philosophical disciplines reveals a genealogy that is closer than simple intellectual similarities. A brief overview and explanation...

Laser induced transmutation in palladium thin films in hydrogen atmosphere Jean-Paul Biberian 1, Pamela Mosier-Boss 2, Larry Forsley2, 1 Aix-Marseille University, France 2 Global Energy Corporation, U.S.A. E-mail: jpbiberian@tahoo.fr Ubaldo Mastromatteo [1], published in 2016 a very simple experiment where he directed a laser beam on a thin film of palladium deposited on a silicon oxide substrate in H2 and D2 atmospheres. By SEM he showed formation of many new elements. Recently we did the same experiment with identical samples in H2 and D2. Both experiments in H2 and D2 atmosphere lasted 3 months. We used a 5mW laser at...
