The Governor bet heavily on Iowa. It doesn't appear to be paying off. Ron DeSantis is heading into the Iowa caucuses in third place. In the final Des Moines Register poll ahead of Monday’s vote, the Florida Governor has 16%. That puts him behind Nikki Haley (20%), and way behind Donald Trump (48%). This poll, conducted Jan. 7-12 of 705 likely Republican caucusgoers, is the latest survey of the race to suggest that without some miracle, Trump will emerge the winner Monday evening. And it raises existential questions about the path forward for the Florida Governor, who is drawing just...

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro interviewed Dr. Eithan Haim, the whistleblower for the bombshell story about secretive transgender surgeries for minors at the Texas Children’s Hospital, who was hit with targeted harassment by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice. As The Daily Wire reported, Haim said for him the story all started in September 2022, when he saw The Daily Wire’s investigation of Vanderbilt University’s transgender clinic, where so-called “gender-affirming” care for minors was described as a “big money maker” and irreversible treatments such as double mastectomies were being performed on children.” He then learned that the hospital where...

Ironically, Hamas’s gruesome attack on Israeli civilians on October 7, instead of unleashing a flood of criticism of jihadist Muslims, has turned up the fire under the apparently ever-simmering cauldron of anti-Semitism. Everyone seems focused on Jews — even obsessed with them. But the loudest voices are those raised in condemnation of the Israelis, their supporters, and worldwide Jewry. There are a number of tropes that Jew-haters dredge up on such occasions: the debunked but widely disseminated Soviet psy-op pamphlet The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; the Jews as Christ-killers; the popular trope that the Jews “own the banks”;...

In 2021, your federal government spent $6 million every single minute. That’s $9 billion every day, almost $3 trillion per year.For just a glimpse of that insanity, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the enormous Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS), has 27 Institutes and Centers (I.C.s), and in fiscal year 2020 had a budget of $41.6 billion (plus a separate $3.6 billion for COVID-19 that year). President Biden’s request for fiscal year 2023 was almost $49 billion...plus the new “mandatory” budget items ($5 billion for a new Advanced Research Projects Agency — Health, $12.5 billion...

France is looking to lean more heavily on nuclear power, having apparently realized that a civilized and productive nation cannot reliably run off so-called renewable energy. The French government will consider legislation in early February that would eliminate renewable power objectives within France's energy code, including targets for reducing energy consumption by way of renovating buildings. France24 indicated that the legislation sets no explicit targets for building renewable capacity. Instead of mucking around with objectives for renewables, the legislation would have France embrace "the sustainable choice of using nuclear energy as a competitive and carbon-free" source of power. To this...

The BBC news network has issued an apology for regurgitating a false claim from the terrorist organization Hamas that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were executing Palestinians inside Gaza. The BBC reported on Christmas Eve that Israel was carrying out “summary executions” of Palestinian civilians inside Gaza, Deadline reported. The report said that the news agency AFP, which said it could not verify the claims, appeared to be the source of the story. “In overnight output [on BBC radio news bulletins] we ran a story about Hamas accusing the Israeli army of carrying out summary executions in the Gaza strip,”...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list.

Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then...

Joni Ernst was clever on walking between the drops on MTP this morning. Buy she is not ruling out endorsing Trump if he is the nominee.... The hostages held in Gaza are innocent, they are held by terrorists in tunnels in Gaza, they are been tortured, they have been raped, and they have been denied medication... they were celebrating the Jewish holiday and were taken by these horrible terrorists... The 6 Americans held in Gaza need to be freed immediately, are our Americans, they are our brothers and sisters. If Trump pardons convicted on J6, she won't oppose that, that...

It’s the elephant in the room when you look at a map of Eurasia. Russia has 11% of the world’s land that is suitable for agriculture. China, with a vastly larger population, has only 7%. There are already numerous Chinese farmers in Russia. And then there is the matter of all those natural resources, in particular, timber, for those seemingly limitless forests. The documentary shows the modern machinery that Chinese firms are using to harvest all that timber.

Upward of 100,000 people took to the streets in Warsaw on Thursday, January 11, just hours after Poland’s top constitutional court prohibited the country’s new prime minister, Donald Tusk from arresting and prosecuting Poland’s central bank governor. These shocking developments come amid a move by the new Polish government to arrest opposition leaders – a scene that bears alarming resemblance to the tyrannical behavior of Polish communists government forty years ago when the country was under occupation by the Soviet Union’s Red Army. The drama began on January 9, when, in an action unprecedented in the post-Cold War democratic era,...

A predominantly plant-based or vegetarian diet is linked to 39% lower odds of COVID-19 infection, finds research. The findings prompt the researchers to suggest that a diet high in vegetables, legumes, and nuts, and low in dairy products and meat, may help to ward off the infection. Participants were surveyed on their usual eating patterns and food group frequency, as well as lifestyle and medical history, including vaccination against COVID-19. They were then divided into either omnivorous (424) or predominantly plant-based (278) dietary groups. The plant-based food group was further divided into flexitarians/semi-vegetarians who ate meat three or fewer times...
