Let’s hear a loud, soldier’s “HOOAH” for the fight against Mother Nature! At least, that’s what a nutty op-ed from The Hill is suggesting for top brass at the United States military. William Becker -- executive director for the eco-extremist Presidential Climate Action Project, obviously unaffiliated with the White House — went on a cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs rant against the U.S. military’s lackluster approach to taking down the climate change boogeyman. “Climate change threatens national security — how are the generals responding,” whined Becker in his October 20 headline.

Someday in the future, when the causes of the Second American Revolution are discussed, at the top of the list might well be President Trump's decision to build a new White House ballroom. If you believe Jon Meacham, that is. On today's Morning Joe, panel regular and former Biden speechwriter Meacham began by warning the panel, and liberals at large, "Let's not bang on our high chairs here," i.e., let's not overreact to Trump's ballroom moves. But, ignoring his own advice, Meacham proceeded not merely to bang on his high chair, but to do the rhetorical equivalent of filling his...

The left has completed its masturbatory "No Kings" day exercise, once again failing to recognize that Kings would not allow such a spectacle. They used violence as a means to confront alleged violence. In a display of tolerance, they chased and harassed anyone from the right just trying to cover the event. They outright called for violence And murder Another protester assured that given the chance he'd kill Stephen Miller And the ultimatum was remove Trump...or else And just in case Trump is not "removed" they're teaching their kids to kill him instead. A schoolteacher mocked Charlie Kirk's death They...

You don’t erase a radical past. You rebrand it. Control isn’t always about silence. Sometimes it’s about agreement. When conservatives crave unity more than truth, deception becomes easy. A “common-sense” mask can hide the most dangerous ideology. Fetterman’s rebrand started in 2022. The campaign ends in the White House. ===================================================================== BRIEFING ... Senator John Fetterman isn’t a Dem with an identity crisis. He’s a psyop. Let’s get into it. You can see the entire blueprint if you just stop staring at the dirty hoodie long enough. Every piece of his history lines up like a case file: the Clinton-era AmeriCorps...

Democrats are about to get MUCH ANGRIER after hearing what John Fetterman just said on Fox News. As they threaten to primary him, Fetterman’s doubling down — calling out the rot inside his own party. Hannity sat back and enjoyed every second as Fetterman torched Democrats for abandoning common sense just to spite Trump. By the end, Hannity was so impressed, he half-jokingly asked Fetterman to join the Republican Party. A major meltdown in the Democratic Party started last week after John Fetterman appeared at a NewsNation town hall and did what few in Washington have even attempted — he...

```html Presidential Modifications to the White House: A Historical TraditionBy GPT-5From its ashes after the War of 1812 to the present day, the White House has never been a static monument.

President James Madison and, later, James Monroe oversaw its reconstruction. This...

Put this in the ‘beyond ridiculous’ file that explains the current situation of a contracting European economy; specifically, in the auto sector.Europe has fines associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn’t hit targets for sales of electric vehicles. The fines triggered this year. In order to avoid paying the European fines the auto makers are forming alliances with Chinese EV makers to purchase carbon credit offsets.In essence, EU car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU fines.

A new shareholder campaign is calling for Tesla investors to vote against Elon Musk’s proposed 2025 CEO Performance Award, arguing it would deepen governance risks and weaken corporate accountability.

The plan would grant the CEO additional shares worth nearly $1 trillion over ten years, expanding his ownership stake in the company to about 25%. Unions and watchdogs argue that Elon Musk’s proposed plan rewards distraction The Take Back Tesla...

Now that the heavily hyped Maine "oyster farmer," Graham Platner, who is running as a Democrat to defeat incumbent Senator Susan Collins has been exposed as deeply flawed, Politico's senior political columnist Jonathan Martin has lashed out at who he considers responsible for foisting Platner upon us with minimal/no vetting. And according to Martin that culprit is primarily the Democrat party as you can see in his Wednesday column, "Democrats Keep Falling for Political Fantasies. When Will They Learn?."However, what is notable is that although he mentions "journalists" in passing, he conveniently overlooks Politico's own role in promoting the flawed...

A stark warning argues the U.S. Navy’s bedrock is “cracking” due to an industrial crisis. The fleet is shrinking and aging, while critical maintenance like the USS Ohio’s overhaul faced long delays. New ship programs are behind schedule and over budget. American shipyards lack the capacity and workforce to keep pace, creating a dangerous gap as rivals like China rapidly expand. -The proposed solution is harsh medicine: retire obsolete ships to free resources, launch a massive shipyard modernization effort, and adopt realistic shipbuilding plans.

Now that Trump has gotten the surviving Israeli hostages released and IDF troops withdrawn from Gaza, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken is complaining that he and former President Biden "are not getting a fair share of the credit for this achievement. We exerted continuous pressure on Israel for more than a year asking them to end the war by withdrawing from Gaza. Now after Trump spent a mere week on the problem Israel has withdrawn, the war is over, and the hostages have been released. Where is our Nobel Peace Prize?" Trump asserted that "the Biden-Blinken strategy was a...
