Climate activist Greta Thunberg is in the news once again. As usual, she’s making national headlines for the wrong reasons. Italian authorities have fined and banned Thunberg from Venice, Italy after she was part of a group that dumped green dye in the Grand Canal. Fox News reported more on Thunberg’s actions: Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been slapped with a 48-hour ban from entering Venice, Italy after joining Extinction Rebellion protesters in dyeing the Grand Canal bright green, according to reports. The Swedish activist, 22, was also fined $172 along with roughly 35 other demonstrators involved in the action,...

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows had the audacity to dedicate segments to the weather without mentioning that the hurricane “stormpocalypse” the media prophesied would happen this year never materialized. ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News spent 609 seconds collectively sounding the alarm on a bevy of thunderstorms ripping through the U.S. just in time for the Thanksgiving Day festivities and complicating air travel. That's standard fare for the season. But the timing of this reporting was nothing short of incredible. Axios came out with a climate change narrative-wrecking report Sunday admitting that...

Border Patrol agents in California intercepted fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine in an unlikely place – children’s booster seats. Border Patrol agents pulled over an unnamed Mexican national near San Clemente, according to a November 24 press release. They searched the car, and found 11 packages of drugs – including fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine – hidden in two booster seats. “The discovery of fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin hidden within child car seats is a disturbing reminder that these foreign terrorist organizations will go to great lengths to get their products into our country and our communities,” said San Diego Sector Chief...

Face of fake "genocide" propaganda case at ICJ: Naledi Pandor: From Anti-Apartheid Pedigree to Jihad Cheerleader – South Africa’s ShameShe was born into the struggle aristocracy – daughter of ANC legend Joe Matthews, educated at Harvard and Bryn Mawr – yet Naledi Pandor chose to spend her political capital not on building bridges, but on providing diplomatic cover for Hamas terrorists and mainstreaming calls for violent jihad against the world’s only Jewish state.(She converted to Islam after meeting her future husband).What began as garden-variety anti-Israel posturing metastasized into open celebration of “armed struggle,” keffiyeh-clad mosque speeches wishing she could fight...

The FBI only investigates threats to the DC system. The statements by the ‘seditious six’ could be viewed as threats to the continuity of government; ergo, it’s possible the FBI will take the threat seriously.WASHINGTON DC – The FBI and Department of Justice have contacted Capitol Police to schedule interviews with the six members of Congress who appeared in a controversial video urging service members to ignore orders they may deem illegal, Fox News has learned.Last week, a group of Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds, including Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.; Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.; Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa.;...

It was, by any measure, a lot of red ink. When Volkswagen announced its third-quarter profits at the end of October, the German auto giant said it anticipated heavy losses for this year. The reason? It is taking a 5 billion euro hit from tariffs imposed in the American market. Likewise, the German sportswear manufacturer Adidas warned of a 120 million euro hit to its earnings, in part because the levies its trainers now face in the United States, while Toyota warned of a $9 billion hit from tariffs. For anyone following the corporate earnings season over the last month,...

A confidential memorandum from Justice Secretary David Lammy has exposed the Government's intention to eliminate jury trials for the majority of criminal cases, restricting them solely to murder, rape, manslaughter and matters of public interest. The dramatic overhaul of the criminal justice system has been revealed through documents marked "sensitive and official", which outline the most significant changes to trial procedures in decades. Under the proposed reforms, all remaining criminal offences would be determined by judges sitting without juries, fundamentally altering how crime and punishment is administered in England and Wales. The radical restructuring represents Labour's response to the overwhelming...

Jonathan Alpert, a licensed psychotherapist in New York City says "75% of my patients have Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are obsessed with Trump. They're hyperfixated on Trump. They say they can't sleep. They feel traumatized by Mr. Trump. They feel restless." "Our country has strayed so far away from where we once were," Alpert lamented. "If you look at the '80s when President Reagan was shot, people were united. He famously said, 'I hope you're all Republicans' to the surgeons. The response was, 'Today, Mr. President, we're all Republicans.' But our country has lost that." Emma Nutz, a former patient...

VIDEOHere are a few WEIRDOS sure to attempt to ruin Thanksgiving with their MAGA relatives. Most likely their MAGA relatives are very very happy with the way things are going because Trump is doing exactly what they voted for. As a result, they will feel, well, thankful this Thanksgiving with little or no urge to discuss politics due their satisfaction with the general situation. However, this lack of engaging in political discussion is exactly what will IRK the Weirdos. As you can see in this video, despite the avoidance of political topics you just know the Weirdos will attempt to...

Like a master chef promising a five-course meal in fifteen minutes, Washington’s latest promise on affordability might be biting off more than it can chew. The word “affordability” has become the political equivalent of a Swiss Army knife—everyone’s wielding it, but few seem to know which tool to pull out first. From New York City’s mayoral race to the halls of Congress, “affordability” has emerged as the buzzword du jour, a catch-all solution to Americans’ economic anxieties. President Trump has seized on this narrative with characteristic gusto, promising sweeping changes to make life cheaper for working families. His One Big...

Is committing identity theft and making the life of a man and his family hell a bad thing? Apparently not, as long as you were also breaking the law by entering the country illegally and working illegally, racking up debts without paying them, and committing other crimes. In fact, once you are caught, the Times will classify you as a victim in need of as much sympathy as the man you have terrorized for a decade. At least, that is the take of the geniuses at The New York Times. The Times profiles the two men in question. The two...

Remember how the media were adamant that the U.S. was due for a climate change-caused deluge of catastrophic hurricanes this year? Well, as the Al Gore effect goes: it never happened. Axios reported November 23 that the 2025 hurricane season is ending without a “single” U.S. landfall for the first time in 10 years. Of course, the liberal outlet couldn’t resist trying to drum up fears despite the catastrophic predictions from months ago going kaput: “That's welcome news for hurricane-prone states, but doesn't mean future years will be equally calm — especially as climate change continues to warm the oceans,...

Suspicions were raised around the internet as Wormtongue's X account was revealed to have been created in Isengard. Gríma, son of Gálmód, who goes by the handle "@Real_Grima6701" on X, has long been the trusted chief advisor to the sick-of-late King Théoden. He had always been esteemed as a loyal and faithful advisor in all the land of Rohan until the grey wizard Gandalf petitioned X to roll out their new "about this account" transparency feature which displays the country from which an account primarily operates based upon factors like download location and activity patterns. Now when users click on...

Michigan made $39.9 million in Medicaid payments to deceased enrollees over a two-year period a decade ago, with a total of $249 million spent across 14 states. This is according to a new report titled the “Welfare Walking Dead” from the non-profit the Foundation for Government Accountability, which looked at federal audit data from the Office of Inspector General, among other research. In an exclusive interview with The Center Square, Jonathan Bain said that every taxpayer should be concerned with these findings. Bain is a senior research fellow at the FGA and authored the report. “The average citizen should care...
