While investments in renewable energy have doubled since 2010, power grid funding has remained ‘static.’.. Electricity grid capacity available in the world isn't keeping pace with the rapid growth of "clean energy" technologies, possibly putting governments' climate goals at risk, according to a recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). In order to achieve climate goals set by global governments, more than 80 million kilometers (49.7 million miles) of electric grids have to be added or refurbished by 2040, which is the “equivalent of the entire existing global grid,” according to the Oct. 17 IEA report. Even though “electrification...

A new report is raising questions about who put a gallows on the National Mall for the Jan. 6, 2021, election protests, an image that has been used by Democrats to smear supporters of former President Donald Trump. Lawyer Ed Martin, who has helped over 100 riot suspects fight their cases, has reviewed hours of video and believes that the structure from which a noose was hung was planted by anti-Trump operatives, not the election protesters. Martin, well known in conservative circles as president of the Phyllis Schlafly Eagles and for his Pro America Report radio show, said the video...

Maryland authorities said a judge was the victim of "a targeted attack" when he was gunned down outside his home Thursday night. Law enforcement is looking for Pedro Argote in the killing of Washington County Circuit Court Assistant Judge Andrew Wilkinson. Authorities said there was a hearing earlier on Thursday, during which Wilkinson awarded child custody to a woman in Argote's divorce. Argote was not present for that proceeding, they said.

As the search for the next Speaker of the House of Representatives continues, the American public is starting to wonder who else may be a candidate to fill the important role in the nation's legislative branch. With popular favorite Jim Jordan struggling to muster enough votes, the candidate currently gaining the most momentum in the race is an expired tub of Hellmann's mayonnaise. Historic! Hellmann's isn't alone. The Babylon Bee has obtained the following list of the other GOP frontrunners: A tub of expired Crisco: Not as good as the Hellman's mayo, but a solid backup option. ¡Jeb! Bush: Can...

The House of Representatives has voted for a third time on Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan for speaker, and for a third time, Jordan has not obtained the necessary votes.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, a lack of farms throughout the country impacts families in more ways than one. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, D-Illinois, and others discussed the state of farming in Illinois and elsewhere Monday in Kankakee. Vilsack told an agricultural panel that the country is losing farms in large quantities. "I was surprised to learn that we've lost 438,000 farms since 1981," Vilsack said. "Just to give you a sense of how many farms that is, it is every farm in Iowa today, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, South Dekota, Nebraska and...

Like some of you guys, I've made a few stops at Victoria's Secret to purchase a surprise for my wife. I usually did it coming home from a business trip. The store clerks were always super helpful in figuring out such important things as size. It's no secret that most guys don't know their wife's size or number or other details. In my case, I would show the clerk a photo of my wife and she knew exactly what her size was. Perfect batting average, I'll say. I never told my wife that the clerk figured out her number so...

Reporting. Ow, two hostages released.

9 year old tries vegan “meat” it goes pretty much as expected! Nine year old boys aren’t exactly known for their subtlety and tact. This kid has ZERO filter. He isn’t the least bit shy about sharing his opinion. He was given an opportunity to taste some of that plant-based pseudo-meat. Kareem’s reaction was caught on video. He did NOT pull any punches. He was NOT told the 'meat was 'vegan'. VIDEO AT LINK.....................

[Catholic Caucus] Swiss bishop: Pope Francis is undermining Church teaching under ‘democratic’ pretensesEditor’s note: This text by Bishop Marian Eleganti was written in German and translated by LifeSiteNews with permission from the bishop.(LifeSiteNews) — It is becoming increasingly clear (cf. Cardinal Fernández’s latest statements on Facebook and his response to Cardinal Duka’s dubia) what the newly propagated concept of “synodality” is really about: the dissolution of independent, hierarchical, ecclesiastical authority in terms of doctrine and governance. The ecclesiastical hierarchy is to be leveled in its exercise into democratic – that is, synodal (cf. Anglicanism) – processes.Authority then exists only in...

New York — The judge in former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial lashed out at him this morning for failing to remove from his campaign website a derogatory post about the judge's clerk. The post, which was spotted Thursday by liberal PAC website MeidasTouch, was a duplicate of one posted to Trump's social media site on Oct. 3, and deleted soon after New York Judge Arthur Engoron issued a limited gag order, barring Trump from posting or speaking publicly about the judge's staff. The campaign replication of the deleted post has since also been removed, but Engoron appeared quite...

President Biden just completed a whirlwind tour in Israel, meeting PM Netanyahu and his war cabinet – as did U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. According to crack reporter Carolyn Glick, at this meeting the Israelis were told directly that military aid to Israel would be lessened or withheld unless Israel allowed Gaza and Hamas to be supplied with humanitarian aid – but with no preconditions. The 200+ Israeli hostages (including babies, children, rape victims and soldiers) were to be left as prisoners in Hamas’ jails and torture chambers. It is well understood in Israel and in the U.S.A. that...

WASHINGTON — President Biden’s staff confirmed Friday that he is asking Congress for much greater aid to Ukraine by hitching it to a smaller and more popular spending request for Israel after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,400 people in a surprise attack this month. Biden on Thursday night used his second primetime Oval Office address since taking office to urge passage of the combined package, which the White House confirmed Friday morning would be $14.3 billion for Israel — just a quarter of the $61.4 billion he’s seeking for Ukraine. Another $30.1 billion would go to various other projects, bringing the...

Kenneth Chesebro, a co-defendant in former President Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case, has taken a last-minute plea deal in the case. The deal comes after the jury selection process had gotten underway Friday. Chesebro, an attorney, was facing seven counts after prosecutors said he drafted a strategy to use so-called "alternate electors" to prevent Joe Biden from receiving 270 electoral votes in the 2020 election, according to the Fulton County DA's indictment. The plea comes a day after former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell took a plea deal in which she received probation in exchange for agreeing to testify...

An NYU student has admitted to tearing down posters of Israeli hostages - blaming her exploits on 'misplaced anger'. Yazmeen Deyhimi, a junior at NYU who once worked for the Anti-Defamation League and a self-acclaimed 'activist,' confessed to tearing down the flyers of hostages that were plastered outside NYU's Tisch Hall on Monday and tossing them into the trash. A now-viral video of their actions has sparked backlash, with many calling for the university to hold the three perpetrators accountable. In a since-deleted Instagram post, Deyhimi 'apologized,' offering a bizarre explanation for the disgraceful act - claiming she was having...

The question by many Jews today is; why is anti-Semitism so rampant and where is the G-d of Israel to intercede on the Jews behalf? My dear friends G-d greatly cares about the Jew. Israel is the apple of His eye, but tragically G-d is not the Apple of Israel's eye (as a whole and in spirit and in truth - Psalm 119), at least not yet (Zech. 12:8-12, 13:1-2)! For one to fully comprehend and understand the “why” will take faith in Almighty G-d and objective biblical insight. If that one REJECTS this ETERNAL and DIVINE perspective for a...
