    In 1989, the Associated Press relayed a warning from a U.N. official: "A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000." In 1967, a best-selling book came out called “Famine 1975! America’s Decision: Who Will Survive?” It predicted mass starvation around the developing world due to increasing population. “Today’s crisis can move in only one direction – toward catastrophe,” it warned. Global cooling was once a worry to many, such as University of California at Davis...

    MSNBC national security analyst Frank Figliuzzi said Monday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump’s followers were members of an “extremely disturbing” cult with a death count. Figliuzzi said, “When you combine the characteristics of a cult with all the trappings of a religion, you’ve got a very volatile, dangerous scenario on your hands. I frequently refer to the MAGA movement as a form of cult, but clearly, if you watch this Youngstown, Ohio, rally and if you were to take Trump out of the video, listen to at audio in the last moments of the rally and watch the...

    1975 Newsweek ran a now-infamous article entitled “The Cooling World,” 1986, NASA scientist James Hansen testified before Congress that “global temperatures should be nearly 2 degrees higher in 20 years, ‘which is about the warmest the earth has been in the last 100,000 years.’” Two years later, Dr. Hansen told an interviewer that in 20 years, the area below his New York City office would be completely changed, most notably that “the West Side Highway will be under water.” Carl Sagan predicted in 1990 that “the planet could face an ‘ecological and agricultural catastrophe’ by the next decade if global...

    How many stars are there in our galaxy? How many grains of sand in the Sahara? How many ants live on Earth? These are all questions that seem impossible to answer. However, through intensive and extensive data analysis, science is coming amazingly close to finding the solutions. When it comes to ants, a team led by Würzburg biologists Sabine Nooten and Patrick Schultheiss has done just that. Schultheiss has been conducting research at the Chair of Behavioral Biology and Sociobiology at Julius Maximilians University (JMU) since 2022. He was drawn to Würzburg from the University of Hong Kong. The publication...

    The International Food Additives Council (IFAC), a global association representing manufacturers and end-users of food ingredients, has released its findings on a study that examined dietary phosphorus intake over time and correlations with health and physiology. The two-part study was conducted by researchers Kristin Fulgoni, Victor Fulgoni and Taylor Wallace and found between 1988-1994 and 2015-2016, Americans' daily intake of natural phosphorus increased by 12% while their daily intake of added phosphorus decreased by 13%. The study also found a higher total of phosphorus intake is associated with increased bone mineral content and bone density, a decreased risk of high...

    It’s Climate Week in New York City — happening alongside the UN General Assembly — and it comes on the heels of a record-smashing hot summer in the northern hemisphere and ahead of what could be a dangerously under-heated winter in Europe. It’s a moment when China has seen its most severe heatwave on record, the war in Ukraine reinforced Western Europe’s over-dependence on natural gas and flooding in Pakistan was labeled a “climate catastrophe” requiring “massive support.” And all of this just months after the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) raised an alarm bell on the inadequacy...

    The migrants Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent to Martha's Vineyard were homeless and given "multiple opportunities" to voluntarily take the trip or stay behind, senior officials in the DeSantis administration told reporters on a background call Monday afternoon. The officials said the migrants that were sent on two planes to the Massachusetts island last week, which sparked a major backlash from Democrats, were "wandering the border" homeless in Texas before being intercepted by Florida to be given "a better life" in a sanctuary state. "So the groups in Texas that we've identified, the majority if not all of the individuals...

    Former SecrState in the Trump administration Mike Pompeo is planning to run for president in 2024. Though his former boss has not yet announced a run himself, it is widely believed that Trump is intending to seek a second term and stage an electoral rematch against Joe Biden. Pompeo was speaking to veterans and supporters in Chicago this week, telling them "We've got a team in Iowa, a team in New Hampshire and South Carolina. And that's not random. We are doing the things one would do to get ready." This according to Politico. Pompeo has been making public appearances...

    Democrat candidate for Arizona governor Katie Hobbs said that it is “ridiculous” that border security is an issue in her race. In an interview with the Arizona Republic, Hobbs said in reference to immigration and border security that “it’s ridiculous that we are talking about this as a core issue in the governor’s race.” Meanwhile, just under 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border since Joe Biden took office. According to her website, Hobbs believes in a “path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants living in the United States.” A Yale study from 2018 found that there may have...
  • US housing market in ‘deep recession’ as homebuilder confidence tanks: economist

    NYPost ^ | 09/19/2022 | Thomas Barrabi
    The US housing market is in the midst of a “deep recession” that could put pressure on the Federal Reserve to ease up on interest rate hikes, a prominent economist warned on Monday. Homebuilder confidence declined for the ninth straight month in September as surging mortgage rates and steep prices pushed many buyers out of the market, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Builder confidence fell to its lowest level since 2014 when excluding the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the index showed. The prolonged downturn in confidence shows the housing market has been “in a tailspin...

    President Biden may be the world’s most powerful man, but it didn’t ensure him a front-row seat at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in London on Monday. The president and first lady Jill Biden were seated 14 rows back during the service at Westminster Abbey that drew 2,000 guests — including some 500 of the world’s presidents, kings, princes and prime ministers. Perhaps taken into consideration was that the couple was among the few dignitaries who were granted permission to travel in their own presidential limousine, nicknamed “The Beast,” for security reasons. Most other leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,...

    Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), two members of the Jan. 6 House panel, introduced a bill Monday to reform the Electoral College Act, offering a number of provisions to protect elections from interference by state and federal lawmakers. The Presidential Election Reform Act (PERA) would make clear that the role of the vice president in presiding over the counting of electoral votes is purely “ministerial.” It also takes aim at potential action from the lawmakers’ colleagues to object to states’ electoral slates, requiring that a third of the members from both chambers must object to the certification,...
  • Republicans See Largest Edge Ever over Democrats in NBC Poll on Economy, Crime, and Immigration

    The Republican Party saw its most significant edge ever over Democrats in a September NBC News poll on the economy, crime, and immigration. The poll, conducted between September 9 to 13, found that Republicans held massive leads — the largest in the poll’s history — on key issues when the respondents were asked who would do a better job handling them, with less than two months left before the election. On the economy, 47 percent said they would trust a Republican to handle the economy compared to 28 percent who said a Democrat. This gives Republicans a plus 19, when...
