Elites have always gotten away with things you and I never could have. Two-tier systems of justice are the norm, not the exception in all societies. But some societies are much worse than others, and one of the reasons the West has been so successful compared to most places is that our system of justice has been on the whole reasonably fair, at least until recently. Hardly perfect, but overall most people most of the time have enough faith in the system that they retain trust. ...

WASHINGTON- Tribal lands preparing for the impact of the climate crisis are receiving help from the Department of the Interior as $120 million is being provided through the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Tribal Climate Annual Awards Program. The money is set to be used proactively in planning measures including climate adaptation, drought and wildland fire mitigation.

The investment world has seen no bigger widow-maker trade this last decade than shorting the US dollar. Yet recent volatility in the reserve currency has punters once again asking whether the great dollar reckoning is finally afoot? No one knows, of course. The dollar’s sudden and sharp drop in recent days, though, has the whiff of exactly the sort of foreign-exchange shock for which markets have been bracing. As investors wait to see if things unravel, finally, it’s worth exploring how bad things might get. For now, the dollar’s stumble can easily be explained by shifting considerations of interest rate...

Victim: Moderate Republican governors in Democratic-leaning states. Time of death: 12:20 p.m. Wednesday, July 19, 2023. Cause: Donald Trump. This brand of moderate Republican governor has been edging ever-closer to extinction for some time. Larry Hogan was term-limited out in Maryland last year. Charlie Baker opted for a $3 million-per-year paycheck over a brutal primary against a Donald Trump-endorsed candidate in Massachusetts. Now Chris Sununu is calling it quits in New Hampshire. Fiscally conservative but more socially moderate Republican governors have long defied electoral odds in blue and purple states. That’s proved particularly true in the liberal bastion of New...

Minneapolis leaders want to increase fees on residential and business electric and natural gas bills to help pay for the city's plan to reduce its contribution to climate change. The envisioned fee hikes would generate between $8 million and $10 million annually to pay for weatherizing homes, installing solar panels and other programs — resulting in a tripling of the city's current spending on those items, Mayor Jacob Frey and a host of officials announced Wednesday. The plan would hike the city's franchise fee, found on every gas and electric bill as a percentage of the bill. The City Council...

My name is Prisha Mosley and I’m a 25-year-old woman and detransitioner. Since childhood, I have struggled with my mental health. As is the case for many girls, my teen years were particularly difficult. Tragically, at age 14, I suffered from a sexual assault. At age 15, I was hospitalized for depression. By age 16, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and an eating disorder. I engaged in self-harm by cutting myself, which became so serious that I was taken to the emergency room. Starting when I was 16 years old, and continuing into my teen and...

The governor of Massachusetts is calling on citizens to open their homes to illegal aliens. Governor Maura Healey – a Democrat – is asking folks in the commonwealth to provide a room or an apartment for just a few days.

After finding legal loopholes around the Supreme Court’s student loan decision, one personal finance expert unveiled what the Biden administration isn’t broadcasting about its new repayment plan. "They're really pulling the wool over people's eyes because they go, 'oh, there's forgiveness here, I don't have to pay my loan,'" Jade Warshaw, "The Ramsey Show" co-host, said Wednesday on FOX Business' "Mornings with Maria." "But what they're not saying is how many years it takes to actually get this forgiveness." President Biden announced the new student loan handout legislation - dubbed the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan - which...

“The kings of the earth…and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying Let us burst bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” (Psalm 2: 2,3)The Progressive Satanic revolt is war against the Holy Trinity…the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which in Bakunin’s words are the “cursed and fatal principle of authority.” Thus it proclaims the reign of nothingness, though nothingness nevertheless pregnant with the expectation of fulfillment in the revelation, and finally the actual presence of evil personified…the dark god of this world. It is this dark god (Beelzebul/Baal/Baphomet) and his evil...

Former President Donald Trump could face a third indictment in connection to a Jan. 6 investigation, but given the response from staunch Trump supporters, many predict another indictment will help the former president win the Republican nomination. On "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., argued that given President Biden's polling numbers, the Justice Department is going to do "whatever they can" to secure a Biden-Trump rematch in 2024. SEN. JOHN KENNEDY: I don't know what the facts are. I haven't seen the indictment yet. I will say in terms of the politics, and this is a cynical...

We are being warned of a new pandemic from CCHF, that is Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever. Experts say cases are already in Europe and it has to do with climate change. Oh, handy because the WHO says that they can grab global powers to deal with climate change and also, guess what, a patent for an antibody treatment is pending in the U.S. Phew!

British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly on Wednesday said that it was in America's best interests to keep backing Ukraine in its war with Russia, and that the U.S. was at its strongest when it when it engaged with the rest of the world. The U.K. has been at the forefront of efforts to shore up Ukraine's armed forces, training soldiers and sending arms, as it fends off the Russian invasion. But officials have privately expressed concern that a growing strand of isolationism among Republicans who back Donald Trump's America First stance could choke off aid from Washington, which has so...
