With Texas being walloped by a merciless heatwave this weekend, the state’s energy provider said on Sunday it surpassed record demand. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas’s (ERCOT) supply and demand tracker showed its current power supply peaking at 74, 997 megawatts, surpassing its previous record of 74,820 megawatts in August 2019. Despite the high demand, however, ERCOT said it had around 10,000 extra megawatts above peak demand. ERCOT, which supplies more to some 26 million Texas, representing about 90% of the state’s power load, said previously it expects to break records as economic growth boosts usage in homes and...

The Socialist Left tyranny currently gripping Australia is unsustainable. It is inevitable that a way of thinking that enfeebles people will be replaced. stupid Government will weaken the nation and make it more vulnerable to Chinese attack but the alliance with America does make Australia safe, as long as America is strong. Freedom loving people are the ones who survive. In the long run. Lets pray we all get there. If the idiots in leadership don't sell us out first.

After the arrest of more than two dozen members of a white supremacist group near a northern Idaho pride event, including one identified as its founder, LGBTQ advocates said Sunday that polarization and a fraught political climate are putting their community increasingly at risk. The 31 Patriot Front members were arrested with riot gear after a tipster reported seeing people loading up into a U-Haul like “a little army” at a hotel parking lot in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, police said. Among those booked into jail on misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to riot was Thomas Ryan Rousseau of Grapevine, Texas, who...

Kremlin-installed officials in occupied southern Ukraine celebrated Russia Day on Sunday and began issuing Russian passports to residents in one city who requested them, as Moscow sought to solidify its rule over captured parts of the country.

On the heels of Friday's May inflation report revealing that the consumer price index rose 8.6%, the highest monthly increase since December 1981, Atlantic magazine seemed to go into a state of mourning bordering on panic.Gone were the sort of heady days of last summer when administration hacks, quoted approvingly by much of the liberal media, would smugly declare that any increase in inflation was merely "transitory." Those times of self-reassurance have suddenly been replaced by utter despair which the title of Friday's Atlantic reveals, "How Did They Get Inflation So Wrong?"You can almost hear a very sad rendition of...

A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) has revealed that crippling and restrictive public health measures implemented throughout the Covid-19 pandemic were the most likely cause of a staggering 170,000+ non-Covid excess deaths among young Americans in 2020 and 2021. What’s more, the number of deaths is likely to end up being even higher, as researchers have yet to scrutinize an additional 72,000 “unmeasured Covid deaths,” which could easily turn out to have been individuals who died ‘with’ the virus instead of ‘because’ of it. The Economist, which was cited in the NBER study, found the...

Rev. Megan Rohrer, 42, who uses the pronouns 'they,' said that the 'constant misinformation, bullying and harassment' led to their resignation from the Sierra Pacific Synod, overseeing 200 congregations in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern California and northern Nevada. Rohrer was elected in May 2021 to serve a six-year term. The bishop faced allegations of racism after they called the police on a church member and her child, which church investigators...

the U.S. Navy released a long-awaited, but heavily redacted report of its investigation into the circumstances surrounding USS Connecticut hitting an uncharted seamount while sailing in the Pacific region on Oct. 2, 2021, an accident that caused extensive damage. The War Zone has now had a chance to review the entire 67-page document in detail. In the report, investigators describe how a weak command environment and lax attitudes when it came to performing key tasks ultimately put the submarine, which was also suffering issues with some of its sensor systems and other equipment, on a direct path to the accident....

VIDEOThe arrest of the Patriot Front in Idaho on June 11 has sparked widespread skepticism. For some reason few seem to believe what is being presented on the news. Perhaps the Whitmer "kidnapping" plot in which the undercover feds outnumbered the clueless real participants by a ratio of about 2 to 1 might be a factor in this skepticism. Or could it also have been caused when the FBI declined to answer whether Ray Epps was an undercover fed when Senator Ted Cruz asked about this? Or could it also have been due to the fact that the January 6...

New scientific procedures says fabric in the shroud is about 2,000 years old.

Democrats were promising that the prime-time TV extravaganza presented by the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2020 riot at the Capitol last Thursday would be “must-see TV.”Apparently, most Americans decided it was “must miss.” The Nielsen ratings for that night are out, and it appears that the audience for the event was smaller than for a Young Sheldon rerun episode that CBS ran in the same time period the previous week.The audience for the “Capitol Assault Hearings” was about the same size as nightly news broadcasts last week, according to the ratings. Nearly every major news network and the...

Explanation: Have you ever seen the Man in the Moon? This common question plays on the ability of humans to see pareidolia -- imagining familiar icons where they don't actually exist. The textured surface of Earth's full Moon is home to numerous identifications of iconic objects, not only in modern western culture but in world folklore throughout history. Examples, typically dependent on the Moon's perceived orientation, include the Woman in the Moon and the Rabbit in the Moon. One facial outline commonly identified as the Man in the Moon starts by imagining the two dark circular areas -- lunar maria...

The January 6 committee is facing pressure as details reveal it lied and altered evidence to favor Democrat's radical narrative of the Capitol Hill protests. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) called out the committee for changing text messages between him and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows during an interview on Fox News.
