The trash burning industry was eager to show it is not a polluting relic but a pioneering clean tech sector worthy of millions of dollars in new federal subsidies. As the Biden administration allocates billions of dollars in new climate subsidies, environmentally challenged industries are sharpening their green pitches. The companies argue they are just as entitled to lucrative federal incentives as solar farms or electric carmakers, and are working to frame their businesses as global warming solutions. The money up for grabs from the Inflation Reduction Act and other programs are in amounts large enough to guide whether they...

What do we do about the climate madness? That's the issue that Lord Frost addressed in a recent speech to the Global Warming Policy Foundation in Britain. Short answer: not much, not yet. But there is hope. Frost reckons that the governments in Europe are "beginning to get cold feet" on their climate agendas I actually sense our own Government is beginning to realise that the economics are more doubtful than the Net Zero proponents argue. If, as some commentators say, our Prime Minister is beginning to get worried by the costs of Net Zero, we can only welcome that....

J. Lester Feder is a journalist and senior fellow with the global LGBTIQ organization Outright International, which is supporting 27 queer organizations in Ukraine through the war.KYIV — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has galvanized Ukrainian society in many unexpected ways, but perhaps one of the most remarkable is how it has advanced the rights of LGBTQ people.On Tuesday, in a move that would have been nearly unthinkable a year ago, a Ukrainian lawmaker introduced legislation in the country’s parliament that would give partnership rights to same-sex couples. This legislation, along with a prohibition against anti-LGBTQ hate speech abruptly adopted in...

The interchangeable terms "war economy" or "wartime economy" bring to mind dramatic measures from dark days gone by: Governments reconfiguring their entire economic systems and industrial output to prioritize production for the war effort. EU Commissioner Thierry Breton started invoking the concept regularly in early March as he sought — and continues to seek — a rapid ramp-up in EU government orders for and manufacturing of ammunition and weapons, both to supply Ukraine and refill their own stockpiles. The commissioner has just toured more than a dozen weapons-manufacturing facilities throughout the bloc where he would have heard complaints about the...

The Biden administration is searching for ways to push the world’s largest polluter to reduce carbon emissions, as superpower rivalries engulf a fragile bilateral relationship that could determine the future of global warming. Since negotiations between U.S. climate envoy John F. Kerry and his Chinese counterparts stalled in August, Chinese provinces have accelerated their approvals of new coal power plants, sparking fears that China is moving away from its climate goals, not toward them. Now Biden administration officials are trying to get talks back on track even as they also explore other tools, such as tariffs, that could be tied...

CHICAGO -- It's been a violent and deadly Memorial Day weekend in Chicago with at least 50 shot, 10 fatally, police said.

Police said three people were shot while standing on the sidewalk in the 9100-block of South Harper Avenue...

Russian authorities reported several drone attacks on the capital Moscow Tuesday morning, damaging several residential buildings. Explosions were reported in several districts of Moscow and outlying regions of the city as Russian air defense systems attempted to intercept the drones. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed minor damage to several residential buildings but reported no serious injuries. City rescue crews are cleaning up the debris and Russia's Investigative Committee said its inspectors were also on the scene gathering forensics evidence. Russia's Defense Ministry called the incident a "terrorist attack" and insisted just eight drones had been spotted over the capital. Independent...

Target projects over $1 billion in losses due in large part to shoplifting. And that is its own fault. Target CEO Brian Cornell responded to the BLM race riots with a memo claiming that, “the murder of George Floyd has unleashed the pent-up pain of years, as have the killings of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.” Much of that pain was directed at robbing Target. After a massive wave of arson and looting, targeted its own chain stores, Target doubled down on its Racial Equity Action and Change strategy. The Target Foundation was one of the signatories of the Philanthropic...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis attacked the bipartisan deal to raise the debt ceiling Monday, saying the country was “careening towards bankruptcy” and criticizing the “massive” amount of spending in the deal, as DeSantis’ top rival for the 2024 GOP presidential primary—former President Donald Trump—remains mum on the agreement. In an interview with Fox News’ Fox & Friends, DeSantis aligned himself with some members of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus who do not support the agreement to hold non-military spending flat at 2023 levels—which many Republicans believed were too high. DeSantis said the U.S. government’s spending habits have been out of...

God understands that—if we’re not deliberate—we are capable of imagining countless scenarios in which relationships fracture and bad things happen. So He built into His Word instructions for recognizing and overcoming the inclination to let our minds run away with us.These battles in our minds are actually a normal part of Christian experience. In 2 Corinthians 10, Paul speaks about this very vividly. In verse three he says:“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.”Paul says we are living physical bodies in a material world.

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.

What do the would-be Masters of the Universe have planned for us for the coming year? Economic collapse? A new digital currency? Expanded surveillance state? Global food shortages? Energy grid collapse? Pandemic 2.0? We do not know precisely, but we can get a general idea of the ugly agenda the globalists are pursuing from the just-concluded Bilderberg meeting. This is the annual ultra-secretive, ultra-high-level assembly of the world movers and shakers of Big Finance, Big Business, Big Media, Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Government: Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Prudential, AXA, Google, Microsoft, Palantir, DeepMind, OpenAI, Shell, Pfizer, Merck, Bloomberg,...

st a month ago Pope Bergoglio asked with a "please" not to be linked to Argentine politics. It was when he confirmed his intention to visit our country only next year because there will be no more elections. Bergoglio plays the part. While he plays the game of impartiality, he has just appointed as the new Archbishop of Buenos Aires, the highest Catholic member of the hierarchy in the country, an avowedly Peronist priest. The new Archbishop is Ignacio García Cuerva. He was a slum priest, then Bishop of Santa Cruz and a typical militant of Argentinean anti-capitalist Catholic poverty-worshippers.

Good morning freedom lovers! Todays report we see the Patriots getting it done. It puzzles me how Russia thinks bombing Ukraine time and again is going to win the war for them. Think V-2s into London.

Good news of a tentative deal for the U.S. debt ceiling impasse may quickly turn out to be bad news for financial markets. While an end to uncertainty would be welcome, the relief that may come from a deal may be a short-lived sugar high for investors. That's because once a deal is reached, the U.S. Treasury is expected to quickly refill its empty coffers with bond issuance, sucking out hundreds of billions of dollars of cash from the market. The raising of ceiling is expected to be followed by the issuance of nearly $1.1 trillion in new Treasury bills...

Weeks after Russia's former head of the Roscomsmos space agency cast doubt on the US moon landing in 1969, China announced plans to put a person on the moon by 2030.Moon Base Alpha by digital painter Jon HrubeschIn a Monday announcement, Lin Xiqiang, the deputy director of China’s Manned Space Agency, said that the CCP's moon landing project - part of the country's broader Lunar Exploration Project (Chang'e Project, named after the Chinese moon goddess) - had only "recently" been kick started. The project seeks to eventually enable short-term stays on the lunar surface, as along with the collection of...
