Wellington (AFP) – New Zealand on Tuesday unveiled plans to tax the greenhouse gas emissions from farm animals, in a controversial proposal designed to tackle climate change. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the levy would be the first of its kind in the world. The scheme would see farmers pay for gas emissions from their animals, such as methane gas in the farts and burps from cows, and nitrous oxide in the urine of livestock. Ardern told farmers they should be able to recoup the cost by charging more for climate-friendly products. She said the "pragmatic proposal" would reduce agricultural...

Planned Parenthood is promoting a new cartoon ad urging children to take hormone blockers to delay puberty if they believe they are “intersex” or feel confused about their gender. “There’s no one-size fits all puberty experience. If you’re trans, intersex or nonbinary know that you’re not the only one feeling confused,” the narrator of the ad for kids assures. Children who are “intersex” may experience puberty later than males and females, the organization, which performs approximately 400,000 abortions a year, claims. “For some intersex people, puberty may start later than age fourteen. You might experience some of puberty’s changes and...

Trump endorsed both candidates in the primaries.“Thirty...

Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan doubled down on his comments from earlier in the year calling to “kill and confront” MAGA while specifically targeting J.D. Vance in his rhetoric during the debate on Monday night. In the heated debate between Ryan and his Republican opponent for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat, Ryan was confronted and asked to explain his comments earlier in the year when he told MSNBC’s Morning Joe that the “exhausted majority” needed to “kill and confront” the extremist Republican movement. Now, Ryan, during the debate — doubling down on his comments — included Vance in the group of...

“BRING BACK COLUMBUS DAY!” Trump stated on Truth Social.Columbus Day is a national holiday celebrated in the United States, along with other continental nations, to commemorate the day Italian explorer Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas on October 12, 1492. The voyage would be followed by three others in 1493, 1498, and 1502.Columbus’s first voyage was financed by Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. The investment was significant at the time due to Spain’s expensive war against the invading Moors (Muslims).Columbus’s original intent was to find a water route from Europe to Asia to increase trade....

Ami Horowitz, who has made an art form out of man-on-the-street interviews, has a new video out that should scare you, assuming you don’t think gender-confused pre-schoolers should undergo sex changes. Pretending to gather signatures in support of “Annie Rodriguez,” a fictitious 5 year old whose parents won’t allow her to undergo gender-swapping surgery. “The very young transitioning has gathered a lot of support from the left,” Horowitz says by way of introduction of his latest “Ami on the Loose” video shot for PragerU. “But how young is too young?” Horowitz did not get his answer at UCLA. “How old...

Retired Admiral Mike Mullen is advising the Biden administration to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine as World War 3 becomes a real possibility. Mullen, who was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, is saying that Biden should back off on the reckless talk and get to working on diplomacy.

A group of formerly transgender young adults wrote Attorney General Merrick Garland to counter top American medical institutions who aim to silence critics of radical transgender procedures carried out on minors. The letter from seven so-called “detransitioners” followed one sent Monday by the American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and Children’s Hospital Association that urged the Department of Justice to “investigate and prosecute all organizations, individuals, and entities” that they claimed were “coordinating” and “provoking” outrage in response to those providing the controversial gender-related treatments. “The recent letter by these groups calling on the DOJ to put pressure on...

This is Joe Biden’s America: As previously reported last week, heavily armed FBI agents raided a country home of Paul Vaughn in Tennessee last week. The FBI goons swarmed the property while his wife is heard begging for answers as Biden’s Gestapo takes her husband away for being pro-life.On Wednesday Biden’s Gestapo arrested eleven pro-life activists for a peaceful protest at an abortion clinic that took place over a year ago. The eleven pro-life activists face up to eleven years in prison and $250,000 in fines. (Details below)Screen images from cellphone video taken by his wife show FBI agents at...

Cops are having to resort to using dental records and fingerprints to try to identify the man who was pickpocketed after being crushed to death by a construction truck in Manhattan, police sources told The Post on Sunday.

When we say the woke cultists are butchering our sons and daughters, we mean that literally. This young woman has been mutilated by professionals for pride and profit. Like so many others, she was promised that her discomfort with her teenage body could be solved by becoming a man. VIDEO AT LINK................. There are thousands more like her. Of course, the compassionate woke cult crucified her in the comments for expressing her pain. Compare this #Tolerance to the replies of right-wing "extremists" like Ron DeSantis's press secretary: MEAN TWEETS AT LINK............... When Libs of TikTok exposes a children's hospital for...

Standing in front of Floridians who had lost everything during Hurricane Ian, President Biden on Wednesday recalled his own house being nearly destroyed 15 years ago: “We didn’t lose our whole home, but lightning struck and we lost an awful lot of it,” he said. Mr. Biden has mentioned the incident before, once saying that he knows what it’s like “having had a house burn down with my wife in it.” In fact, news reports at the time called it little more than “a small fire that was contained to the kitchen” and quoted the local Delaware fire chief as...

DEWEY BEACH, Del.—Computer repair store owner, John Paul Mac Isaac—who was caught up in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal—was unable to attend the Freedom Festival Banquet at the Rusty Rudder restaurant on Friday due to health concerns. Those who were at the event were sorry for missing him but admired what he had done for the country. Ruth Briggs King, GOP state representative from the 37th District, said Isaac did the right thing in bringing to light the content from Hunter Biden’s laptop that allegedly included shady financial dealings and overseas exploits. “I appreciate very much that he realized this...

Americans rescued Shah Mahmood Selab from Afghanistan last year as Old Joe Biden’s woke, distracted military was botching our withdrawal from that country. Other Americans then helped him settle in Las Cruces, N.M., and start a new life. But it looks as if Selab brought a bit too much of Afghanistan with him: he has been charged, according to a report in The Blaze on Saturday, with “a child sex crime and violent assault of a 12-year-old boy in New Mexico.”American authorities could have and should have seen this coming as that kind of behavior is rampant and taken for...

What could possibly go wrong in giving the perfectly apolitical Department of Justice more power over elections?A few too many one-offs, anomalies, and more than a couple of bad apples are enough to prompt even the most apt to provide the benefit-of-the-doubt to suspect the department has been politicized.So it’s not very encouraging that the Biden administration’s Justice Department has made voting and elections a top priority, as detailed in my new book “The Myth of Voter Suppression.”Thus far in 2022, an FBI SWAT team arrested a pro-life speaker at his home, raided the home of a former president, expanded...

President Joe Biden seems to have a habit of getting caught cursing on a hot mic. Last week, President Biden did it again during his visit to Florida. A hot mic picked up the president boasting, “No one f—- with a Biden.” Biden’s F-bomb followed his meeting with Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis to assess the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian.Not only was Joe Biden’s expletive-filled remark an insult to the dignity of the office of the President of the United States. It was also total fiction. Sadly, America’s adversaries and fair-weather friends alike have been putting the screws to...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 6 Prayer 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be...

If you love to cook, this upcoming Thanksgiving may be a real challenge for you. Thanks to a resurgence of the bird flu, supplies of turkey are getting tighter and tighter. Sadly, the same thing is true for eggs. And as you will see below, reduced milk production is sending the price of butter into the stratosphere. Thanks to soaring prices, a traditional Thanksgiving dinner will be out of reach for millions of American families this year, and that is extremely unfortunate. Of course all of this is happening in the context of a horrific global food crisis that is...
