Early emissions estimate says Canada’s climate progress has stalledYears of progress on bringing Canada's carbon emissions down have stalled, and future progress looks increasingly fragile, according to an early 2024 emissions estimate from the Canadian Climate Institute (CCI). The leading climate policy think-tank, which publishes its estimates a few months before the government does, is saying for the first time that Canada will not meet its 2030 emissions target. Emissions from the oil and gas industry rose, especially the oilsands, offsetting any emissions reductions in other sectors like transportation and buildings, it said. The institute estimates 2024 emissions at 694.3...

It came as no surprise to many conservatives when the “fascist” label frequently used by the left to describe President Trump and his MAGA movement made its way onto bullets found alongside the weapon used to kill rising conservative star Charlie Kirk. For the better part of a decade, Democrats, including top party leaders, have been wielding the fascist label as a weapon against Mr. Trump and his followers, including Mr. Kirk. Democrats have aligned conservative policies with Nazism and likened the president to Adolf Hitler.Democrats and Trump critics ramped up use of the label after Mr. Trump won the...

Jimmy Kimmel and the Long Tradition of Television Censorship by NetworksWhen Disney pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the air after affiliate stations refused to run it—and Kimmel refused to apologize—many framed the moment as a free speech issue. But in reality, this is not a new phenomenon. Kimmel is merely the latest in a long line of television personalities to discover that while free speech is protected from government interference, it does not shield individuals from the consequences imposed by employers, advertisers, or the broader marketplace.The tension between individual expression and corporate image has shaped the entertainment industry for decades....

2Way co-founder Mark Halperin on Wednesday's "Ingraham Angle" said he is shocked by the way Democrats and leftists continue to react to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. "It takes a lot at this point in my career to stun me," Halperin told Ingraham. "I will say I'm stunned and shocked by their failure to and in the clip with President Obama, their failure to understand just how painful this is for people in this country who knew Charlie Kirk. And they continue to not understand it. They don't know what he accomplished. They don't know his heart. They don't know...

Global Engagement Center's agreements with other countries to cooperate against "disinformation" were "loose ends" following its successor's closure this spring. The State Department confirmed it formally removed the "framework" underlying both the Global Engagement Center, deemed the government's "censorship nerve center" by a first-term Trump administration official and defunded by Congress after the 2024 election, and GEC's surreptitious successor Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Hub, which Secretary Marco Rubio shut down in April.Acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Darren Beattie told The Daily Wire there were "loose ends" to tie up, including GEC's agreements...

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Effective immediately, late night will have a new face, as news broke Thursday morning that Vice President JD Vance had agreed to take over as the host of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! The change came following news that the network had pulled Kimmel off the air indefinitely after controversial false statements he made regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with sources within ABC revealing that the Trump administration had ordered the network to replace him with Vance. "We're replacing Jimmy with someone talented and popular," Disney CEO Bob Iger reportedly said in a closed-door meeting. "We're going...

Kamala Harris is prepping her next presidential campaign with her book 107 Days (stay tuned for a surprise from us on that front). The book’s excuse/premise is that Kamala only had 107 Days to figure out how to run for office and that just wasn’t enough. The fallback excuse/premise is that America was just too racist and sexist to vote for a black woman. So it’s definitely too bigoted to vote for the gay man likely to run in 2028. (Hint, hint.) As Kamala Harris rushed to pick a running mate last year, her “first choice” was her close friend...

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would be designating the radical far-left group Antifa as a terrorist organization.“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”The announcement comes one week after conservative titan Charlie Kirk was assassinated by an alleged left-winger radicalized by transgender ideology who engraved the bullet casings with slogans like,...

The View has been accused of 'purposefully avoiding' any mention of ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's talk show after the hosts failed to address the elephant in the room. During Thursday's episode, presenters Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin made no reference to their network's decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! 'indefinitely' over his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Instead, the women focussed their attention on the Epstein files investigation and ousted CDC Director Susan Monarez's testimony about RFK Jr.

Though the indictment of Tyler Robinson for the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk contains his admission of guilt, the FBI is investigating well more than 20 individuals who might have known about or been part of an assassination conspiracy. FBI chief Kash Patel revealed the latest yesterday during a hearing of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. And a major target in the investigation, the New York Post reported Wednesday, is Armed Queers SLC, an anti-American Marxist outfit. Frighteningly, the leader of the deranged group, Ermiya Fanaeian, appeared publicly with far-left Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. The ProbeRobinson was...

The night before he kicked off his run for Congress, Iowa Republican Joe Mitchell sent a copy of his campaign announcement to his friend and mentor, Charlie Kirk. “He was fully supportive,’’ said Mitchell, 28, a former state representative who launched his bid for an open House seat in northeastern Iowa on Sept. 8, two days before Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on a Utah college campus. As the founder of Turning Point USA, Kirk was a conservative firebrand whose skillful use of social media, talk radio and campus visits helped drive more high school and college students to the...

The Turning Point Board has unanimously elected Erika Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of the Board. In prior discussions, Charlie expressed to multiple executives that this is what he wanted in the event of his death.

In the context of a discussion of the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show and related matters, today's CNN This Morning aired a clip of Rep. Daniel Goldman [D-ActBlue Jeans] calling President Trump a "wannabe mob boss."Meghan Hays, a former Biden aide and a CNN analyst, agreed with Goldman, then proceeded to claim: "We are running dangerously close to state-run media . . . We are losing our democracy. They're dismantling democracy by doing this." Accusing Trump of creating a "state-run media?" That's something of a new line of attack. And a laugh line at that. Even without the likes of...

A few hours after Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, a crowd of his supporters gathered to remember him at the pier in Huntington Beach, California. The following Sunday, September 14, an even larger crowd gathered 50 miles away at Beverly Gardens Park in Beverly Hills.

In 1965, the Four Seasons released “Bye Bye Baby.” Today, there is a new top hit called “Bye Bye Jimmy,” referring to the recently suspended Jimmy Kimmel. A few years earlier, in 1962, NBC premiered “The Tonight Show” featuring Johnny Carson. It was ranked as one of the greatest T.V. shows of all time. Carson was funny and entertaining. Although he interviewed past presidents including Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton, he “refused to discuss his personal political views on the show out of concern it might alienate his audience.Several decades later, ABC launched “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2003....

President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia is deliberately slowing its economic growth in order to suppress inflation. "As for the decline from more than 4% GDP growth: this is not a decline, it is a deliberate action. It is a slowdown in growth in exchange for curbing inflation and maintaining macroeconomic stability," Putin said during a televised meeting with top lawmakers. A graph published in Russian central bank's report earlier in September showed two consecutive quarters of gross domestic product (GDP) decline in quarter-on-quarter terms, aligning with the common definition of a technical recession.

The Stephen King movie, The Long Walk, absolutely bombs at the box office, coming in fourth this weekend. By my count, it’s the lowest opening for a King movie in 33 years. On Thursday, King received massive backlash for comments about Charlie Kirk, who was killed on Wednesday. The alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, is described as a leftist in a relationship with another man transitioning to a transgender woman. King deleted the tweets and apologized for his comments. It’s unknown if the controversy impacted The Long Walk, which was put out by Lionsgate this weekend. The studio suffers yet another...
