They keep telling us to go green—rely on renewable energy!—but the simple often unstated fact is that the technology isn’t there yet. Many countries in Europe are about to find that out the hard way, as that little thing called “winter” approaches and energy supplies dwindle, in large part due to the Russian war in Ukraine but also as a result of their own suicidal policies. An unfortunate fact that the World Economic Forum and the Biden administration don’t want you to know—the sanctions against Russia have largely failed, and the totalitarian country is doing better financially than ever.The Wall...

President Joe Biden on Tuesday recalled being a lifeguard in rough neighborhoods in Wilmington, Delaware. “There’s a place where I was the only white guy that worked as a lifeguard down in that area, on the East side,” Biden said, referring to his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.

College was supposed to be fun, I thought.There once was a time in this country, long ago, when men were men but on occasion, men dressed as women — but it was to get out of the Army, like Corporal Klinger in M*A*S*H.Also, people had nowhere near the issue of associating with someone who did not hold every view as theirs and were not perpetually offended.Those were the days.Nowadays, it seems that your feelings matter more than anyone else’s feelings and those good people must be marginalized and banned for the sin of just having a different view than you....

If you were to ask most conservatives what the worst newspaper in the country is, you’d get a lot of arguments between The New York Times and The Washington Post. But, despite the Times’ deep hatred of Republicans and its clear partisan reporting, in my opinion, the correct answer is the Post.No national newspaper has been as blatant of a mouthpiece for government corruption and political bias, and if you still have doubts, just remember that they also employ Taylor Lorenz, perhaps the worst “reporter” on the planet. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Times is a destructive entity,...

President Joe Biden got confused while delivering a speech promoting Democrat candidates in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. “Please please elect the Attorney General to the Senate, and elect that big ol’ boy to be governor,” Biden asked voters in the audience. Biden was clearly mistaken about what office each candidate was running for. The attorney general is Josh Shapiro, running to be governor and the “big ol’ boy” is Lt Gov. John Fetterman, who is running for the Senate. [cut] Referring to Fetterman, Biden noted he could not join them at the event, but he endorsed him as a “powerful voice”...

According to attorney Mike Davis, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland just ordered that no members of the DOJ can contact Congress. That’s against the law. In a Twitter thread this evening, attorney Mike Davis shared that AG Merrick Garland ordered all members of his corrupt DOJ to not contact Congress. (snip) If Garland’s memo is interpreted as ordering DOJ employees not to go to Congress with information on crimes taking place within the DOJ, then Garland broke the law.

he Monkees singer Micky Dolenz is suing the FBI in an effort to "obtain any records" the agency has on the hit band and its members. A lawsuit filed by Dolenz, the last surviving member of the band, noted the performer had "exhausted all necessary required administrative remedies" after submitting a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to receive the files from the FBI. Portions of an FBI file on the "I'm a Believer" singers were released in 2011 and included references to anti-Vietnam War rhetoric and "subliminal messages" depicted on a screen at a 1967 Monkees concert that an...

Unless you’re a person of color or a favored minority, brace yourself to be treated unfairly by the Biden administration. President Joe Biden is pushing racial equity — which is very different from equal treatment regardless of race. Racial equity means government will treat people unequally, discriminating against whites to equalize outcomes. For Team Biden, it means closing the wealth gap between the white and black populations. By whatever means. You may think it’s “unfair” to be forced to pay off other people’s student loans after you already paid back your own. But Biden’s White House actually defends debt cancellation...

The book 2000 Mules written by conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza was supposed to hit book shelves on August 30 but has been recalled because of an unspecified "significant error." The release of the book comes after the debut of D'Souza's film of the same name, which claims widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Like the film, the book alleges that the Democratic Party and "mules" carrying bags of votes swayed results in President Joe Biden's favor. D'Souza wrote on Truth Social that early copies of his book had been "recalled."

DOJ is currently considering another raid on Trump's Mar-A-Largo residence in the near future. AG Meritless Garland postulated that the FBI would be justified in another raid under the guise of executing a warrant citing Civil Assets Forfeiture. Around the water cooler in the 7th floor of the FBI building, FBI agents imagined a possible Civil Assets Forfeiture case that they could sell to Meritless to raid Trump's house again. Agents speculated that coasters were taken from the White House and that Trump was marketing them on E-Bay for a fortune. Based upon that, a raid could be made to...

When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled “Naked Nomads,” which had a deep impact on me. It was about single men and all the pathologies associated with them. For example, Gilder drove home the point that the biggest factor concerning violent crime was that it is overwhelmingly committed by single men. While there was no danger — I would say no chance — that I would commit a violent crime (though I was, at the time, single), this fact along with others in the book...

Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs will lift all COVID protocols that have kept some workers away as it pushes all employees to return to the office five days a week after Labor Day, The Post has learned. In a memo sent Tuesday obtained by The Post, Goldman Sachs told workers it will no longer require vaccines, COVID testing or masks — a signal it won’t accept excuses for employees who claimed COVID as a reason for working from home. “There is significantly less risk of severe illness,” the memo stated. “In line with [the CDC’s] updated protocols, if you have...

Michigan could be the next state to put abortion on the November ballot, and Democrats no doubt hope it will juice turnout among their base, carrying Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to a second term and maybe flipping some House or state legislative races. Have Republicans devised a better strategy since this month’s blowout referendum in Kansas? Michigan’s proposed constitutional amendment would create a right to “reproductive freedom,” including abortion access through fetal viability, which is roughly 24 weeks. Proponents needed to gather 425,059 signatures. They submitted about 750,000, which news reports say is the most ever for a Michigan initiative. Official...

A Ballarat woman who was charged with inciting others to breach a lockdown has had her case thrown out of court. Zoe Buhler was arrested in her Ballarat home in September 2020 while pregnant. The mother of three livestreamed her arrest showing police handcuffing her in a video that later went viral and sparked concerns from the Australian Human Rights Commission... In a statement Victoria Police said they withdrew the single charge following an assessment of the case, determining it was "not in the public interest to continue with the prosecution". Ms Buhler, now 30 years old, said she was...

On March 30, 2010, President Obama signed the reconciliation "fix" to the health care reform bill passed by Congress last week. Slipped into it was student loan legislation the President calls "one of the most significant investments in higher education since the G.I. Bill." Under the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA), the federal government will lend directly to students, ending billions of dollars in wasteful subsidies to firms providing student loans. The bill will save an estimated $68 billion over 11 years. Money for the program will come from the U.S. Treasury, which will lend it to the...

WASHINGTON — Ending one of the fiercest lobbying fights in Washington, Congress voted Thursday to force commercial banks out of the federal student loan market, cutting off billions of dollars in profits in a sweeping restructuring of financial-aid programs and redirecting most of the money to new education initiatives. The revamping of student-loan programs was included in — if overshadowed by — the final health care package. The vote was 56 to 43 in the Senate and 220 to 207 in the House, with Republicans unanimously opposed in both chambers.

Columnist Lee Smith, author of The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History, said colleagues and peers of his — whose judgment he trusts — speculate that the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL, was a search for documents related to its “Russiagate” surveillance operation of the 45th president. “I think the best way to understand this is in the context of a six-year-long operation targeting Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s aides, and Donald Trump’s supporters,” Smith said on...

Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is ripping President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan as unfair, politically motivated and “100% illegal.” “The president has no authority to just wave a magic wand and suddenly forgive billions and billions of dollars in student loan debt,” she told Fox News late Monday. “Congress has the power of the purse, not the president.” ... “It is totally unfair to all of those who have not taken out student loans,” she said. “And for those students who faithfully have been paying their student loans down, how does that work for them?” Ms. DeVos also said...

oreign states are seeking to uproot Western society through sophisticated cyberattacks on members of the public. The solution is to initiate a collective cyber-defense system; if we do not protect our data, then foreign governments will continue to chip away at our way of life, until all we are left with is the scattered remains of our freedom. As hard as it might be to believe, even the nosiest members of the Chinese government don't care that you just got back from Cancun or that you have a dog named Buddy—regardless of how unquestionably adorable you might think he is....
