Among the great mythologies of recent years, one stands out above the rest, is that the world is in a “great energy transition.” Actually, the world IS in a dramatic energy transition. But it isn’t the one the Left wants it to be. Despite hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars thrown at wind and solar power, we still get less than 10% of our energy from green sources. The needle really hasn’t moved at all over the past two decades. The more the government spends, the less we get per taxpayer dollar thrown at it. That’s the very definition of...

Our Government’s “Whole-of-Society” RuleLast year, Jacob Siegel at Tablet magazine published a long investigative piece on the censorship-industrial complex, “A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century,” which is well worth reading. More recently, he published a superb follow-up essay, “Learn This Term: ‘Whole of Society,’” which is crucial for understanding our current political and cultural moment, and for grasping the real dynamics of power at work today. I want to provide here just a few highlights from the piece, which opens:To make sense of today’s form of American politics, it is necessary to understand a key term. It...

Minnesota Guard report said riot troops ready, not bunch of 'cooks'... Tim Walz mocked Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who, on May 27, 2020, as his city burned, issued an urgent call to the governor to send in the National Guard. Mr. Walz delayed action by more than 24 hours ... as buildings, including a police precinct, went down. “I don’t think the mayor knew what he was asking for,” Mr. Walz later said. “We’re going to have massively trained troops? No. You are going to have 19-year-olds who are cooks in some cases. .. Mr. Walz had to know his...

The Democratic talking points were issued and the media enthusiastically accommodated: The Harris-Walz campaign is now a moveable feast of joy. But there’s nothing even remotely joyful about Kamala Harris’ and Tim Walz’s political orientation. Their positions are founded on militancy and just plain meanness. The media are nothing but shills for the Democratic Party. They are so willing to please that they will run with whatever theme the party tells them to. Take a look at recent headlines. “Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign,” says the New York Times. “Harris is pushing joy,”...

...Harris and Brown, the longtime pastor of San Francisco's Third Baptist Church, have known each other for nearly a quarter century, and the two have remained close throughout her vice presidency. In July of 2023, Harris posted a picture of the two to the vice president's Instagram account and described Brown as "an inspiration to me always."At a memorial service for victims of the 9/11 terror attacks held just six days after al Qaeda murdered nearly 3,000 Americans, Brown used the occasion to point the finger at the United States in remarks that, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "set...

Where did this come from? Since when did the far-left legacy media start reporting on election fraud? Politico on Tuesday broke the news that “the nation’s best hackers” were able to break into voting machines. Over the weekend, some of the world’s top hackers convened in Las Vegas for the annual DEF CON conference, specifically at the Voting Village event, to probe and expose vulnerabilities in voting machines set to be used in the upcoming November election. From Friday through Sunday, hackers at Voting Village tested various voting machines and related equipment, attempting to bypass security measures. Meanwhile, election officials...

WASHINGTON, Saturday, August 13. Six refugees and twenty-one deserters from the rebel army arrived here to-day from City Point. The former left Richmond by stealth on Thursday night and came into our lines. They tell a long story, representing that on Saturday last four trains of twenty cars each arrived in Richmond, bringing a body of troops from Petersburg, said to be a division, and they left immediately on the Central road, to reinforce Gen. EARLY. A large body of rebel cavalry arrived the same day coming by railroad, and departed for the same destination. One of this party worked...

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The Federal Aviation Administration has postponed a series of public hearings that were to begin Tuesday on SpaceX’s request to expand its launches in South Texas — the same day that a report became public from a state agency that cites SpaceX is improperly discharging industrial wastewater into Texas waterways. The four FAA public hearings were to start Tuesday afternoon at two South Texas locations and have been indefinitely delayed, according to the FAA.

Consumer prices rose 0.2 percent in July following two straight months of flat or declining prices, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. The consumer price index (CPI) also slowed to a 2.9 percent annual increase in July, down from 3 percent in June, falling below 3 percent for the first time since March 2021. The latest inflation reading comes as the Federal Reserve gears up for long awaited interest rate cuts ahead of the upcoming election, and at a moment of economic anxiety as the unemployment rate has started to tick up. Borrowing costs have remained at a 23-year high since...

The bodies of six world-leading oncologists and two resident medics were found on Friday in the wreckage of a plane that plunged from the sky in Brazil and exploded in a fireball, killing all 62 people on board.The doctors were on their way to an international conference in Sao Paolo where they were set to present their findings that mRNA and the COVID-19 vaccines are responsible for the explosion of turbo cancers and autoimmune disease wreaking havoc around the world today.Mainstream media are working overtime to brush this story under the carpet on behalf of Big Pharma, but the facts...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Power Lunch,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) said that in the next weeks, the Harris-Walz campaign should do “more of the same” even as the campaign gets more policy-focused. Co-host Kelly Evans asked, “What do they need to do right in order to solidify the gains that they’ve made in the weeks that are to come, where we have the debate, it will get more policy-driven, I imagine. Everyone will be pressing for more details on what exactly they would do in office. What do you think?”

Harris, the Democratic 2024 nominee, appeared in Texas three times in July, in both an administrative role and as part of campaign events for her White House bid which has seen her overtake Donald Trump as the current overall front-runner. The Lone Star State is certainly not considered a swing state, having voted for a Republican candidate in the previous 11 elections, including for Trump in 2016 and 2020. Despite this, there have been continuing suggestions that Texas could be on the verge of an unprecedented switch in voter dynamic, such as when former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke was only...

With headlines like “Harris Surges Ahead: A New Era of Democratic Enthusiasm and Opportunity” and “Former Friend Exposes JD Vance’s Radical Transformation: A Study in Political Opportunism”, you might mistake NioThinker for another mainstream media outlet. Only the occasional odd word choice and convoluted bit of grammar hints that the digital media site flowing with enthusiasm for Kamala and contempt for Trump isn’t really American. Classified as part of Iran’s ‘Storm-2035’ network: NioThinker is an enemy operation. Why is an Islamic terrorist state spending its time putting up articles like “Trump Silent After Fox News Poll Favors Harris in Swing...

PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. — A student-athlete who died had complained of chest pains before attending football practice Monday, the Palatka Police Department said. Police responded to a home in Palatka around 6:20 a.m. Tuesday to reports of “a juvenile in possible cardiac arrest,” according to a post on social media from PPD.

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (8/14/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit ( The Spirit of Knowledge and Fear of the Lord) Isaiah 11: 1-311 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge...

German prosecutors have issued a first arrest warrant in their investigation into the undersea explosions in 2022 that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany, according to a media report Wednesday. German authorities refused to comment. German public broadcaster ARD, the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung and the weekly Die Zeit said in a joint report that federal prosecutors obtained an arrest warrant in June against a Ukrainian man believed to have resided until recently in Poland. The reports, which did not cite sources, identified the man as Wolodymyr

In his 17-month stint as UF president, Ben Sasse more than tripled his office’s spending, directing millions in university funds into secretive consulting contracts and high-paying positions for his GOP allies. Sasse ballooned spending under the president’s office to $17.3 million in his first year in office — up from $5.6 million in former UF President Kent Fuchs’ last year, according to publicly available. Citing his wife’s recent epilepsy diagnosis, Sasse abruptly resigned from his post in July — leaving the future of his UF inner circle unclear. The university did not respond to questions about whether his political appointees...

Former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley weighed in on the state of the 2024 race Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris gains momentum in key battleground states ahead of the November election. Haley told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier on "Special Report" Republicans and former President Trump should focus on policy and messaging instead of crowd sizes at rallies, Harris' race, or attacks on her intellect. "You can't win on those things. The American people are smart. Treat them like they're smart," she said. "It's not about her. It's about the American people. Talk to them and let...
