Here in the U.S., the second Trump administration has largely pulled the plug on the suite of crazy energy policies marching under the banner of “fighting climate change.” But the same is not true in many other advanced-economy countries, for example Germany, Australia and the UK. Consider the UK. In the 2024 election the voters gave a large parliamentary majority to the left-wing Labour Party. The resulting government has doubled down on the policies of Net Zero, fossil fuel suppression, and generating energy from “renewables.” Convinced of their own correctness, and indeed righteousness, the government seeks to silence all dissent...

She Pays $0 Rent and STILL Loses Her Section 8 Home?

Stephen Miller, a top White House official, said Tuesday evening that federal law enforcement now has the resources to protect its officers and begin the work of “identifying, disrupting and dismantling the insurgent networks” hampering Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota. Miller’s message came after President Trump released a statement on Truth Social earlier Tuesday, saying: “FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a large-scale deployment of federal agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul in early January 2026, deploying approximately 2,000 federal agents from...

A century-old film and TV studio where “Seinfeld” and other hit shows were shot could shut down after the owner defaulted on a $1.1 billion loan. It’s the latest in a series LA entertainment industry defaults, which have left Hollywood begging for mercy. Hackman Capital Partners, the owner of the iconic CBS Radford Studios — where “Gilligan’s Island” and the classic 60’s western “Gunsmoke” were birthed — has plans to turn the property over to Goldman Sachs after failing to make payments, according to Bloomberg. Hackman had hoped to capitalize on the streaming industry, which was booming at the time...

The Buffalo Bills have fired head coach Sean McDermott after another season that failed to end in a Super Bowl appearance, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Pamela Bondi has taken something of a beating from the MAGA team over the past year. The reasons aren’t hard to discern, and are no fault of hers. It seems that a lot of the less informed among our crew seriously expected her to step into office and immediately set out to arrest Pelosi, Schumer, Sanders, and whoever, and were sorely disappointed when this didn’t happen. Evidently, they have not heard the adage that begins, “The mills of justice grind slowly…” or have any familiarity with the legal process. There was the matter of “Epstein files,” which tripped her up...

UFC match between Orange Man Great and Maduro the Deposed. TKO.

For much of modern political history, the most dangerous words in public policy have not been shouted slogans but soothing reassurances. They are the claims that certain policies are “compassionate,” “progressive,” or “humane,” offered without any serious accounting of how they actually affect the people forced to live under them. This pattern is particularly evident in the agenda of today’s Democratic Party, whose policy choices increasingly produce chaos and danger while being marketed as moral advances. The central flaw is not malice so much as indifference to consequences. The pursuit of ideological purity has replaced the traditional liberal concern for...

e know that Democrat politicians and judges can be vicious and corrupt, but with regard to Tina Peters, they outdid themselves. Tina Peters has been sitting in a Colorado state prison since October 2024. During the 2020 election, Tina Peters was the top election official in Mesa County Colorado. In October 2024, the 70-year-old widow was sentenced to nine years in prison by District Court Judge Matthew Barrett. Given the lengthy sentence, you might think that Peters molested a child, pushed someone onto a subway track, or stole $50,000 from a Mesa County bank. You’d be wrong. To Colorado Democrats,...

An American heiress has dropped a bombshell, possibly precedent-setting $12 billion lawsuit against some of the world’s biggest banks – accusing them of helping her late father loot her $350 million trust fund. Tanya Dick-Stock, the daughter of late Canadian-born Denver real estate mogul John Dick Sr., and her husband Darrin Stock, sued Barclays, HSBC, and multiple trust companies in Colorado District Court on Dec. 5th, claiming the banks unlawfully handed control of her $350 million trust to her father, according to a complaint filed by their lawyer, former US presidential candidate John Edwards. The case reveals how Dick Sr....

Can men get pregnant? Years ago, such a question would have been an insult to the intelligence of anyone above the age of 8. And yet, Dr. Nisha Verma, a senior advisor to the nonprofit Physicians for Reproductive Health, attempted a rhetorical bob-and-weave when asked about it by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) at a congressional hearing on abortion pills Wednesday. “I take care of people with many identities,” Verma said before expressing a hestitation about where Hawley was going with his line of questioning. “The goal is just to establish a biological reality,” Hawley said. “You just said a moment...

@SenRandPaul Everything about the Anthony Fauci pardon is preposterous. I’m working closely with @SecKennedy on my investigation and am prepared for the @DOJ to act on Fauci for lying to Congress and deleting official records.

A leftist Starbucks employee thought they could flex their politics by trying to ban ICE — and it instantly blew up in their face. This is what happens when radical ideology collides with reality, the law, and common sense. Like, subscribe, hit the bell, and let’s break down why this woke stunt backfired HARD.

This is fun, ⁠Everyone: I'm building an AI Agent to do some pretty sophisticated stuff, dealing with an old repo of code commits on my personal computer, the repo being related to a project I worked, for a family relative, maybe 2 or 3 years ago. Doing it in Python 3.13.5 to match what my employer allows (so I can port my code somewhat easily, IF I can get the setup and libraries right). So I'm using an AI to help me debug it and it's giving me debug statements. I get it to a certain level, and ask what's...

A month after President Donald Trump scrapped free national parks entry on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Gov. Gavin Newsom is responding — opening more than 200 California state parks for free to honor Dr. King while calling out Trump’s move. Last month, the Trump administration reshaped when Americans can enter national parks for free, scrapping Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Juneteenth and National Public Lands Day from the 2026 calendar. In their place, the administration added a slate of historically themed or presidentially themed dates. Flag Day — which also happens to be Trump’s birthday — becomes a fee-free...

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin may not be the most liked player in the NHL, but he found a way to endear himself to a lot of the game's fans. On Saturday night, the Capitals and Florida Panthers faced off, with Washington holding its annual Pride Night before the game. (Cue the justified boos and eye rolls). That means that many players decided to put rainbow tape on their sticks as a show of support. But Ovechkin, and several others, decided not to. They skated onto the ice with their sticks looking normal as most reasonable people would do. Martin...

Rogue planets -- worlds that drift through space alone without a star -- largely remain a mystery to scientists. Now, astronomers have for the first time confirmed the existence of one of these starless worlds by pinpointing its distance and mass -- a rogue planet roughly the size of Saturn nearly 10,000 light-years from Earth.Planets are typically found bound to one or more stars. However, in 2000, astronomers detected the first signs of a "rogue planet" -- a free-floating world that orbited no star. Then, in 2024, researchers detected an object distorting the light from a distant star, simultaneously from...
