The race is on to see who hits the green energy wall of impossibility first. California, Germany and the UK (the “Poseurs”) might seem to have leapt early into the lead positions. But New York is now making a strong sprint to catch and surpass them, so it can be the first to splatter its citizens’ flesh and blood all over the impenetrable barricade. The Poseurs accumulate vast green progressive virtue credits for ridiculous promises, but their promises all have dates so far in the future that today’s politicians will be long gone when the crash detonates. Germany promises 100%...

The oligarchs are playing a dangerous game by pouring trillions into woke causes.Beware of plutocrats bearing gifts. The annual clown show at Davos epitomises how today, the global elites have embraced an unholy trinity of ‘progressive’ doctrines: climate-change apocalypticism, a belief in systemic racism and racial ‘equity’, and radical gender ideology. The super-rich hope that by genuflecting to these causes, they can buy themselves political protection and fend off the activists lurking in the ranks of their own companies. Yet, in the long run, this could end up fuelling their demise.The recent ‘Great Awokening’ of our elites reflects a long-standing...

VIDEOImagine this. For years liberals have been telling us that President Donald Trump is guilty of horrible horrible crimes. So after many years, they seem about to indict him for a... MISDEMEANOR? And not only that a misdemeanor based on testimony by someone who admits that he is a liar. This possible indictment illustrates the absurdity of the liberal charges against President Trump. If he was truly guilty of all that they claim then why charge him on a laughably weak MISDEMEANOR which is doomed to be easily overturned on appeal?

There’s something absolutely fascinating going on in the coverage of the current banking crisis. One of the two (or three? Four?) banks at the center of the story has a really prominent former congressman on its board of directors — a co-architect of how the federal government regulates banks. He’s known for his acerbic comments, and he’s doing a bunch of interviews right now in a hasty effort at reputation management. But you really have to look around to find anyone who’s casting this congressman as a villain in this story; he’s being treated as a mildly ironic bystander to...

Democrats have long portrayed themselves as the great guardians of the children. In truth, they are destroying the young. The harm they’ve done to children, teens and young adults has spiked in recent years, from scaremongering about global warming to pandemic lockdowns that have unnerved a generation to teaching them a divisive, politically charged curriculum. According to ​​an online medical journal, the University of Calgary has determined there was a spike “in emergency department visits for attempted suicide and suicide ideation among children and adolescents” during the period of “social isolation” that coincides with the pandemic lockdowns. The university conducted...

Oh isn’t this cute: the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin for his war crimes. I’m sure Russia will extradite him right away! Or Zelensky will arrest him when Ukraine sacks Moscow after we finally give him back the nuclear weapons we told Ukraine to give up to us 30 years ago in exchange for security guarantee. What’s that? Bank run you say? How can that be? Did Barney Frank stop looking at Freddie’s Fanny and start worrying about Fannie and Freddie again?

Sleeping less than five hours a night is associated with a 74% raised likelihood of developing peripheral artery disease (PAD) compared with seven to eight hours. More than 200 million people globally have peripheral artery disease (PAD), where arteries in the legs are clogged, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of stroke and heart attack. The study included more than 650,000 participants and was conducted in two parts. First, the researchers analyzed the associations of sleep duration and daytime napping with the risk of PAD. In the second part, the investigators used genetic data to perform naturally randomized controlled...

No "friendly" Celt can this year complain of the way in which St. Patrick and his memory green were treated by the heavens above or the earth and all that are in Gotham. A finer day than yesterday the happiest Irishman never desired, and what with the smiling sun, the favoring breeze, the popular cheer, and the universal good nature that prevailed, it was within the power of every Green-Erinite to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, not only "in the morning" but all through the day and night, and far into to-day. The intention, announced by the moving spirits of one...

For patients with recalcitrant alopecia areata totalis or universalis, methotrexate combined with prednisone yields complete hair regrowth in about 31 percent of patients, according to a study. Pascal Joly, M.D., Ph.D. and colleagues examined the efficacy and tolerance of methotrexate alone or combined with low-dose prednisone in 89 patients with chronic and recalcitrant alopecia areata totalis or universalis in a randomized clinical trial. Patients were randomly assigned to methotrexate or placebo for six months; those with more than 25 percent hair regrowth at six months continued their treatment to 12 months, while those with less than 25 percent hair regrowth...

Russell Brand was recently on the show Real Time with Bill Maher (Mar. 3, 2023). Seated alongside was MSNBC show host John Heilemann. Heilemann (a complete tool imho) just gets destroyed by Russell Brands lightning fast wit and insight. This is a video that I enjoy re-watching and I hope that you do also.

(Daily readings from the USCCB)Jesus addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else. “Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.” Luke 18:9–10This Scripture passage introduces the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. They both go to the Temple to pray, but their prayers are very different from each other. The prayer of the Pharisee is very dishonest, whereas the prayer of the tax collector is exceptionally sincere and honest. Jesus concludes by saying that the tax...

On today's radio broadcast, Glenn warned about dangerous Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) language being smuggled into routine legislation in REPUBLICAN-led states. This is unacceptable, and as Glenn said, we can't let this legislation pass as it now stands. The legislation being used to smuggle in this CBDC language is the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a routine piece of legislation passed on the state level that helps standardize commercial and business transactions. However, a new round of UCCs being deliberated RIGHT NOW amongst a swath of Republican-led states anticipate the use of "electronic money." In a public letter sent to...

While some cats love sitting like humans, others like to stand on their two legs, pretending to be humans. Here are some funny pictures of cats standing on their hind legs.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told political opponents on Wednesday she will not bow to the political pressure exerted by powerful elites in favor of open borders. Speaking during Question Time in the Chamber of Deputies, Meloni responded to questions related to her government’s handling of the ever-increasing migratory pressure in the Mediterranean following government data published this week that revealed more than 20,000 people have now reached the country so far this year. “As long as there are departures on boats in bad condition, navigating in bad weather conditions, there will be loss of life,” she told parliamentary colleagues....

Author J.K. Rowling continued to prove she will not back down in her criticism of transgender radicalism in a recent podcast episode in which she called the movement “dangerous.” Speaking on the Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling podcast, the acclaimed Harry Potter author said she tried listening to transgender activists to better understand their views but ultimately concluded that something “dangerous” lurked within. “I can only say that I’ve thought about it deeply and hard and long. And I’ve listened, I promise, to the other side,” Rowling said. “And I believe, absolutely, that there is something dangerous about this movement,...
