"I also offer to shout at people to take their shoes off, then belittle them for not knowing that you don't have to take your shoes off. It's a calling." Several TSA agents...

What I want everyone at COP30 to know. Climate change is serious, but we’ve made great progress. We need to keep backing the breakthroughs that will help the world reach zero emissions. But we can’t cut funding for health and development—programs that help people stay resilient in the face of climate change—to do it. It’s time to put human welfare at the center of our climate strategies, which includes reducing the Green Premium to zero and improving agriculture and health in poor countries. There’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this:In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change...

The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for state employees lost 71 percent of a $468 million private equity investment into clean energy. Because CalPERS pension benefits are only 79 percent funded, the California taxpayer and state government have to make up for the other 21 percent. With a high pension shortfall of $180 billion, CalPERS’ investment strategies into private equity have come under scrutiny, per The Center Square: CalPERS committed $465 million to the private equity CalPERS Clean Energy & Technology Fund (CETF) in 2007, ultimately paying in $468,423,814. Since then, the cash out and remaining investment value of...

Wallace’s claim that no Democrat has ever suggested Trump is Hitler is demonstrably false.MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said Monday that she doesn’t think “any Democrat has” suggested that President Donald Trump is Hitler — but the record shows Democrats and their media allies have long run an assassination prep campaign against the president.During Monday’s interview, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker fearmongered about the rise of “authoritarianism” in the United States under Trump, claiming that Trump is “following precisely a kind of playbook that we’ve seen throughout history.” Wallace chimed in to suggest that comparing Trump to Hitler is “not a partisan analysis”...

Zohran Mamdani, the Communist/Socialist child of wealthy privilege in New York, is the new face of the Democrat Party. And, as in the fantastical post-apocalyptic photo above, Mamdani’s expected victory as mayor of New York next week will bleed red all over the national Democrats, even as it threatens America.Because Mamdani is the poster child of the party that promises: Give us what we think we’ll deserve or we’ll use our votes to take it from you.He smiles often. He speaks in reasonable tones saying unreasonable things. He cast himself among the communists by parroting Frederich Engles on seizing the...

There are dangerous drug wars south of the U.S. border. American presidents ceremoniously appoint powerful drug czars to wage war on illicit drugs. President Trump and our secretary of war Pete Hegseth are attacking drug-carrying vessels off the coast of Venezuela. But the crucial question is, why are Americans such a receptive, exploding market for cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cannabis?A major cause of America’s drug abuse epidemic is the relentless erosion of our American character structure. To paraphrase Pogo, “We have found our enemy in the war on drugs, and it is US.” The affliction is internal to America,...

Seattle’s socialist mayoral candidate Katie Wilson, who has been nicknamed the "Mini Mamdani," has raised concerns among critics about conflicts of interest and government overreach, this time over her plan to tax residents to subsidize media outlets that support her campaign and employ her.

To pay for it, she floated new property taxes, a capital gains tax, or...

For years, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) has relentlessly pushed the narrative of a catastrophic truck driver shortage—60,000 positions unfilled, supply chains teetering on collapse—to manipulate policy and flood the market with cheap, underqualified labor. This fabricated crisis wasn’t about solving real problems; it was a tool to lower standards, suppress wages, and prioritize big carriers over safety and sustainability. But in a stunning reversal at their 2025 Management Conference, the ATA executed a hard pivot, ditching the blanket shortage claim and reframing it as a “shortage of quality drivers.”
