    A major solar power plant project that was granted over a billion dollars in federal loans is on the road to closure, with energy experts blasting the project as a "boondoggle" that harmed the environment. In 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under former President Barack Obama issued $1.6 billion in loan guarantees to finance the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, a green energy project that consists of three solar concentrating thermal power plants in California. The facility was touted by then-Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz as an "example of how America is becoming a world leader in solar energy."...

    EXCLUSIVE: Republican lawmakers are calling on the Trump administration to investigate President Biden's dismissal of a lawsuit claiming millions in fraud from a green energy project the day after the 2024 election. In 2011, President Barack Obama's Treasury Department granted Tonopah Solar Energy, LLC hundreds of millions of dollars for the construction of a green energy solar plant, the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project, in Nevada. However, the energy group was eventually sued by CMB Export, LLC for alleged fraud involving approximately $275 million of taxpayer dollars in a qui tam lawsuit, which is a case on behalf of the...

    As tensions continue to grow over recent ICE raids across the country, police at Temple University are investigating a "disappointing" disruption on campus this weekend. Campus police say two people impersonating U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were reported at a business on the 1300 block of Cecil B. Moore Avenue on Saturday night. They were wearing shirts with "Police" and "ICE" in white lettering. A third person was seen with the impersonators, recording their actions.

    BBC News ^ | February 1, 2025 | By Simon King and Mark Poynting
    Of all the possible climate futures, there's a scenario where the United Kingdom and north-west Europe buck the trend of global warming and instead face plunging temperatures and freezing winters. It's not the most likely outcome, but a number of scientists fear that the chance of it happening is growing, and that the consequences would be so great that it deserves proper consideration. They are concerned that the ocean currents that bring warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic could weaken - or even collapse - in response to climate change. Huge uncertainties remain about when - or...

    A light just went off for the left: Americans don’t like paying higher bills for a climate war. Duh. Democrats (well, some of them) are suddenly recognizing the message of November’s victories by Donald Trump and other Republicans. First, that voters are deeply skeptical of a pricey (and likely futile) war on climate at their expense. Second, that those victories will make it harder still to achieve the greenies’ fanciful agenda. Hmm: With luck, the entire climate agenda might just collapse, saving Americans billions and bolstering energy security across the nation. “The public is exhausted,” admits Assemblyman John McDonald (D-Albany)....

    Daily Wire ^ | 1/31/25 | Brent Scher and Mary Margaret Olohan
    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is taking further action against the 50 former intelligence officials who falsely suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop was “part of a Russian disinformation campaign,” instructing agencies to also ban those individuals from stepping foot in secure U.S. government facilities, according to a memo obtained by The Daily Wire. The Jan. 29 cabinet memorandum, first obtained by The Daily Wire, expands Trump’s day-one executive order, which revoked the security clearance for the 50 individuals. Sent “on behalf of the President,” it orders the country’s top national security agencies to “revoke unescorted access to secure U.S. Government facilities...

    On November 12, 2024 — a week after the election — I had a post titled “Ideas For An Incoming Trump Administration: Climate And Energy Edition.” The first subject covered in that post was “Communications.” I stated there: [C]hanging the communications of the prior administration should be an easy and obvious first priority. However, the Trump people notably did a poor job on this subject the first time out. The subject of climate and energy is pervasive through the websites of dozens of federal agencies.I had followed the EPA website in particular during the first Trump term, and it had...

    A law firm suing Southern California Edison said new video appears show electrical arcs and sparking on the night of Jan. 7 at the origin of the deadly Eaton Fire in Altadena. The security camera video from a Pasadena gas station was obtained by Edelson PC over the weekend. In an edited version of the video, the law firm claims it shows arcing in the canyon where the fire started in a Santa Ana windstorm before flames destroyed homes and businesses in the community northeast of Los Angeles. The Arco gas station video, stamped with an incorrect date and time,...

    Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago public school officials falsely claimed last week that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrived at an elementary school, as President Donald Trump’s administration continues enforcement operations targeting violent illegal immigrant offenders in the sanctuary city. ICE said its agents never arrived at Hamline Elementary School, located in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood, and the US Secret Service released a statement saying it was their agents who stopped by on Friday to investigate a threat made against an unspecified government official. Chicago Public Schools later admitted their mistake, citing a “misunderstanding,”...

    President Trump has banned DEI from the federal government, but the left isn’t going to let it go. The San Antonio Express-News reported the latest race-based hoax, which is the claim that President Trump’s order banning DEI means that the Tuskegee Airmen have been erased from Air Force history as taught to new recruits. The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of blacks, ranging from pilots to cooks and nurses, who formed the Army Air Corps’ 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group. They had an excellent combat record, and their abilities went a long way to breaking the color...

    Isabella Maria DeLuca, 24, is a social media influencer originally from Setauket, NY, who went to the Capitol in Washington DC on Jan. 6, 2021. She attended President Trump’s rally and then followed the crowd into the Capitol that fateful day. She says she stayed only two minutes before deciding to leave as she started to feel uncomfortable. However, those two minutes turned out to be life-changing, and not in a good way. Three years later she was arrested on federal misdemeanor charges — including theft of government property, disorderly conduct, and entering a restricted area — in March 2024....

    Canadians are in for another year of record-breaking heat, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)'s latest report. The Canadian Centre for Climate Change Modelling Analysis forecasts a global mean surface temperature of 1.45 C above pre-industrial levels in 2025. It's slightly cooler than the record-high temperature of 1.55 C above the level in 2024, but the forecast is certain that it will be hotter than any year on record before 2023. "High temperatures are forecasted to persist despite the end of the El Niño event that warmed the tropical Pacific and boosted global temperatures in 2023 and 2024,"...

    The left-wing media’s latest attempt to derail Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as defense secretary has crumbled under scrutiny after new allegations against him were swiftly debunked. In a familiar pattern, the media ran with an affidavit claiming that Hegseth’s second wife feared for her safety—only for the accusations to be immediately refuted by the very person they were meant to protect. On Tuesday, Senate Armed Services Committee members received a supposed affidavit from Danielle Hegseth, Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, alleging that his behavior during his second marriage caused his ex-wife, Samantha, to fear him. Committee staffers had reportedly been in contact...

    Sometimes DC is a fishbowl, and they don’t realize the background of what we know, when they are speaking. Testimony today is a case study of one bubble within that fishbowl. Former House Impeachment Manager Adam Schiff organized the first impeachment effort against President Donald Trump. Schiff is now a Senator. Schiff’s former lead staff in the impeachment investigation was Mary McCord. Today, during the question session for AG Pam Bondi’s nomination, Adam Schiff asked Mary McCord about whether AG Bondi should recuse herself from investigating Adam Schiff and Mary McCord. It’s a little funny if you understand the background....

    I would have written about this one yesterday, but I was enjoying the experience of getting a colonoscopy. But the story is still timely and, more importantly, a perfect example of how the Democrats and the Pravda Media create a nasty hoax out of an innocent event. I am speaking of the Great Handshake Controversy of January 6th. It was, according to the left, a very dark day in American history. Scott Jennings snarkily called it the High Holy Day of January 6th. This time the horror that must be expressed was not the storming of the Capitol building but...

    Tell me the FBI needs Kash Patel without saying that the FBI needs Kash Patel. More than two years after filing a FOIA demand on the FBI for documents related to the Russia-collusion hoax, the bureau finally produced a six-page document detailing their probable cause for investigating Donald Trump. However, most of the document remains redacted, which means that we still don't know why Andrew McCabe made Trump a target after firing James Comey. Real Clear Investigations' Aaron Maté reports that the FBI wants to keep its "articulable factual basis" for probing whether Trump was a Russian agent under wraps:As...

    As Donald Trump re-enters the White House on a pledge to end national security state overreach, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is still hiding critical details on the Russia conspiracy investigation that engulfed his first term. In response to a Freedom of Information request filed by RealClearInvestigations in August 2022, the FBI on Dec. 31, more than two years later, released a heavily redacted copy of the document that opened an explosive and unprecedented counterintelligence probe of the sitting president as an agent of the Russian government. The Electronic Communication, dated May 16, 2017, claimed to have an “articulable factual...

    On January 6, 2025, Congress certifies President-Elect Donald J. Trump’s victory. There is something poetic about reclaiming that day from all those who have worked so hard to turn the sixth of January into “a date which will live in infamy.” To be sure, Democrats and propagandists in the press will continue to frame January 6, 2021 as worse than Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the Civil War — fantastically false claims that make the speaker look dumb, deceitful, and historically illiterate. Still, it will be difficult for Establishment automatons to continue pushing J6 lies when January 6th’s bête noire is...
