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...

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...

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. In a recent interview on the Mostly Economics podcast, Wilson promoted a proposal she calls “News Notes”: a taxpayer-funded voucher program that would give every Seattle resident $100 to donate to local media outlets, to save failing outlets from the free market. To pay for it, she floated new property taxes, a capital gains tax, or...

A campaign finance watchdog group, the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, filed two criminal referrals against Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday, claiming he received illegal contributions from foreign donors. However, the Mamdani campaign maintains that any issue regarding financial contributions has been resolved. Mamdani’s campaign accepted nearly $13,000 from 170 donors from outside the US. “These are not isolated incidents or clerical errors,” Dan Backer, a national campaign finance expert and president of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, told Fox News Digital. “This was a sustained pattern of foreign money flowing into a New York City mayoral race which is a...

The Arctic Frost investigation was a codenamed FBI probe launched in April 2022 under the Biden administration. Originally, we were told it was an investigation into the legitimate alternative electors from the 2020 election. On Tuesday, we found out that the investigation was much more than that. It now appears that Arctic Frost, launched by Jack Smith and the Biden regime, was an attempt to wipe out MAGA and to persecute many of the top MAGA personalities. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee released new Arctic Frost documents, which revealed the investigation was much...

The U.S. government is on track to deport 600.000 illegal migrants by the end of the year, White House deportation czar Tom Homan confirmed Tuesday. “As we get more agents on, you will see arrests increase two, three times,” Homan told Fox News on Tuesday. “You’re going to see the numbers skyrocket.” “I just count from January 20 to now ….. under Trump’s presidency, by time of the new year, we’ll be over 600,000 deportations,” Homan told an Axios interviewer, adding: The majority are criminals, and the data proves it. And who are the other 30-35 percent? Those are national...

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced that the Florida Civics and Debate Initiative (FCDI) will rename its statewide championship scholarship the Charlie Kirk prize in honor of the late Turning Point USA founder’s “zealous advocacy for civic dialogue and freedom of speech,” with Florida recognized as “#1 for high school civics and debate.” "Today, we announced that April’s debate competition winner of the Charlie Kirk prize will receive a $50k scholarship, with runner-up ($25k), semi-finalists ($15k) and quarterfinalists ($10k). We expect more than 600 students in the competition and look forward to awarding the newly-named Kirk prize to the winner,” DeSantis...

Mark Carney Is Trapped: Why Canada Cannot Agree to Trump’s Trade DemandsBy The Hermit The American media often portrays trade negotiations as a personal contest of wills: Donald Trump versus Mark Carney. But that framing misses the central truth of Canada’s political system. Unlike the President of the United States, who holds executive authority independently of Congress, Mark Carney is not a singular decision-maker. He is the product — and the prisoner — of Canada’s parliamentary system, its coalition politics, its regional power blocs, and its economic dependency on trade policies designed to benefit Canada at the direct expense of...

New information about the Biden White House cocaine scandal was revealed this week. A baggy of cocaine was discovered in the West Wing after Hunter Biden visited the White House in early July 2023. The Secret Service closed its investigation into the Biden White House cocaine scandal without conducting any interviews. No suspect was identified. According to CNN, the baggy of cocaine was “found in a blind spot for surveillance cameras.” The White House initially said there were no fingerprints, DNA samples, or leads. However, it was later revealed that there was a partial DNA hit and then-Secret Service Director...

Campus Jihad Hypocrisy: 33K Gaza Tears vs. 1M+ Islamist Slaughter Ignored On American campuses, Islamo-Arab lobbies and their radical allies orchestrate non-stop spectacles of faux outrage over Israel's defensive war against Hamas, fixating on roughly 33,000 civilian deaths in Gaza—tragedies exacerbated by the terror group's ruthless human-shield tactics of embedding fighters, rockets, and command centers in hospitals, schools, and homes. Yet this death toll pales against the jihadist bloodbaths they conveniently overlook, where Muslim supremacists slaughter their own and minorities without a whisper of protest. Israel's combatant-to-civilian ratio—fewer than 1.5 non-combatants per fighter killed—reflects unprecedented restraint in urban warfare, debunking...

Opinion by Wayne Allyn Root I was the first mainstream TV and radio host in America to warn my viewers and listeners to run away from the Covid vaccine like it was a hand grenade. And then the unAmerican censorship started. From the first day the vaccine was available, I told my viewers, listeners and readers to exercise their right of free will. I warned that I would never buy a car in its first year of production, so why would I want to become the first to take an experimental, for-emergency-use-only vaccine, when no one had any idea what...

NEW: Liberal podcaster Jennifer Welch suggests the Dem establishment needs to get on board with wanting conservatives dead or else far-leftists will come “after you in the same way that we come after MAGA.” Welch: *Plays video of protester celebrating Kirk's murder." Welch: "Listen up, Democratic establishment. You can either jump on board with this, or we're coming after you in the same way that we come after MAGA. Period."

A near-naked California trucker, who doesn't speak English, was confronted by Arkansas police and TESTED on his ability to read BASIC traffic signs. He FAILED. Gavin Newsom is responsible for this.

The son of a prominent Indiana pastor has been arrested and charged with multiple child sex crimes, including possessing child pornography. He was also found to be in possession of dozens of intimate videos of his own parents having sex. Jonathan Peternel is the son of Nathan Peternel, lead pastor at Life Church in Pendleton, IN. He was arrested after a cyber tip came in that Peternel was sharing videos on Snapchat. According to WTHR13: “Detectives got a search warrant for Jonathan Wesley Peternel’s Snapchat account, where detectives say more child sex abuse material was found, along with evidence that...

Imagine if this were coming from the AG of Alabama or South Carolina, instead of the Acting AG of New Jersey. After the Justice Department announced that it was sending election monitors to New Jersey (not to mention California) to watch for election irregularities, local officials reacted with bluster, defiance and threats. Acting Attorney General Angela Cai is pushing back on yesterday’s announcement that the Justice Department would monitor polling sites in Passaic County… there are “very limited circumstances” where federal authorities may enter a polling location, and that federal election monitors must seek authorization from a federal judge to...

New Yorker magazine has an amusing analysis by art writer Adam Gopnik as to why President Donald Trump tore down the East Wing in order to build a new ballroom next to the White House. The supposed reason gives us insight into just how much corrosive TDS has eaten away at anything resembling rational thought at that periodical. You can descend into the New Yorker rabbit hole in their bizarre screed published on Saturday in "Why Trump Tore Down the East Wing." The subtitle lays out the dopey thesis: "The act of destruction is precisely the point: a kind of...

Editor’s Note: This is an exclusive article written by former HHS official Gray Delany for Emerald Robinson’s subscribers on Substack. ====================================================================== Dr. Steven Hatfill was fired abruptly this last weekend. I am told that he was asked to resign but refused, wanting to know the specific reason for his dismissal. When he attempted to access the building the next day, he learned that his key card had been cut off. No reason for his firing has been provided — and Secretary Kennedy never called Dr. Hatfill to explain the move apparently. This is a disturbing new development for the MAHA...

Citizen Free Press @CitizenFreePres Democrat Socialists DSA plan to run 1,000 Mamdanis nationwide.

One of the most famous bible stories is the story of David, a young man who slew Goliath, a gigantic Philistine warrior, champion of the Philistine army. The story is much debated. Was David known to Saul, the king, before David killed Goliath? How old was David when he killed Goliath? Did someone else kill Goliath, and was David later given credit for it?The most common assumption is that David killed Goliath, using a sling and a stone to triumph over the giant. Estimates of his age vary from 13 to 28. He is described as both a boy and...
