Apparently the recently deceased Pope Francis is the patron saint of "Mother Earth." At least that’s what the climate Armageddon-obsessed TIME magazine is trying to argue. TIME senior correspondent and eco-doom prophet Justin Worland’s papal obit read like a cheap comic strip: “The Climate Pope: Francis and His Environmental Legacy,” Worland’s headline read, celebrating the leftist pope for his radical eco crusaderism. According to Worland’s twisted worldview, the first big “environmental move” the pope did upon ascending to the papacy was simply “choosing the papal name Francis after Saint Francis of Assi, known among other things for his appreciation of...

Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said Monday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should be fired or resign after reports that military details were shared in a second Signal group chat. Warner said, “This is a guy that’s in so far over his head that you know, he didn’t say anything there about denying that he did this gross, sloppy misuse of classified information. Sharing now with his family members. We heard about the misuse earlier when this information was shared with other senior members of the of the administration.” He continued, “It is way past time...

Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic strategist James Carville believed in “timid” politics. Host Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about what you did this week raising a lot of eyebrows here in Washington, D.J. You announced this week you’re the Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, but you’re raising $20 million to boost primary challengers running in safe Democratic seats against incumbent Democrats.” He added, “Here’s James Carville.” Wednesday on CNN, Carville said, “The most insane thing I ever heard is a Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee is...

AMD has announced that its key processor chips will soon be produced at TSMC’s new facility in Arizona, marking the first time AMD’s products will be manufactured in the United States. The news comes on the heels of AI giant Nvidia announcing it will produce AI chips and supercomputers in Arizona and Texas. Reuters reports that AMD CEO Lisa Su revealed that the company’s fifth-generation EPYC CPUs for data centers will be manufactured at TSMC’s Arizona plant. This decision comes amidst growing concerns over the U.S.-China trade tensions and the potential impact of tariffs on the semiconductor industry. The Trump...

FAFO. But wait, a federal judge "has issued an order" as usual. Watch this space.

President Donald Trump and European leaders cautiously welcomed Russia’s President Vladimir Putin saying he accepted the basic precepts of a ceasefire, but Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky warns Moscow demanding concessions is a “predictable” bid to derail talks altogether. On Thursday, a delegation of American negotiators had talks in Moscow, Russia, in hope of agreeing step one of President Trump’s Ukraine peace plan, a 30-day ceasefire. President Putin said Russia supports the notion in general terms, but said “there are issues that we need to discuss, and I think that we need to discuss it with our American colleagues and partners”...

flow of military intelligence to Ukraine this week has aided the Russian advance along a critical part of the front, weakening the negotiating position of President Volodymyr Zelensky and killing many Ukrainian soldiers in recent days, according to five senior Western and Ukrainian officials and military officers familiar with the situation.

There is a sense that President Donald Trump will face less resistance during his second term, that activists are tired, that the country is complacent. I cannot speak for others, but I can say for myself and those around me: we are bracing ourselves with eyes wide open, measured, strategic, and ready to fight. As a transgender person doing transgender advocacy work, I see no other way.

In a provocative move that could be aimed at stoking President Donald Trump’s ire, Time magazine’s latest print cover features Elon Musk behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. The storied biweekly publication, known for its historically significant covers, comes as Trump has given Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency extraordinary power to gut the federal workforce — power that has been stymied, at least to a degree, over the past few days by some lawsuits. The simple cover, which shows Musk, coffee in hand, sandwiched between the presidential desk and the American and presidential flags, is plainly...

I just realized that the entire first week of the Trump Presidency is over! There's only 1,453 days of winning left to go! Can we make it? Is it time to panic?

Ahead of Inauguration Day, Time Magazine published a mental health guide for liberals struggling to cope with the reality of President Donald Trump retaking the White House. A group cry session and "forest bathing" were among the recommended coping techniques.

On Wednesday’s “PBS NewsHour,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that because Americans “have gone through a lot in these four years. And so, we understand that it’s going to take a little bit of time…for folks to see the impact that this administration has had.” And “it’s going to take some time for Americans to see the full breadth of what this President has been able to do.” Co-host Geoff Bennett asked, “How does he reconcile this gap between what he views as achievements, infrastructure investments, job growth, climate initiatives and the perception that he’s failed to deliver?”

Time travel has long captured the human imagination, from its appearances in science fiction fantasies to its profound implications in modern theoretical physics. Now, a recent study by Dr. Lorenzo Gavassino, a theoretical and mathematical physicist at Vanderbilt University, delves into the enigmatic nature of time travel involving time loops to examine their profound implications for quantum mechanics, entropy, and human experience. Dr. Gavassino’s findings, published in Classical and Quantum Gravity, present a strikingly different picture of time travel. They reveal that traveling through such time loops would prevent many classical time travel paradoxes, including the infamous “grandfather paradox.” “It...

When did COVID start for you? Personally, I trace the beginning to Feb. 13, 2020. My wife and I were waiting for a plane at O’Hare when a group of Japan Airlines flight attendants walked past, wearing those masks I’d read about. I snapped a photo and sent it into the city desk. Look: news. Emotionally, it really began in March. The stripped Target shelves. A few hours before Gov. JB Pritzker shut down the restaurants, I popped into Kamehachi for a last sushi fix and was surprised to find myself the lone diner at 12:30 p.m. Watching the chef...

What does the media decide to do when the world’s richest man draws attention to a government coverup of one of the biggest child rape scandals in years? Simp for the politicos accused of being tied to the coverup. The New York Times, CNN, CBS News, Politico, TIME magazine, Deadline, The Independent, BBC and The Guardian all came out in full force like angry bees on behalf of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer after X owner Elon Musk dared to call him and his woke mind virus-addled Labour Party out. “Starmer was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN when he...

Sky News host James Macpherson has reacted to lefties “screeching” at Donald Trump being on the cover of Time Magazine after being named Person of the Year. “As you can imagine, lefties weren’t happy about Trump being on the cover,” he said. “Can you believe lefties seriously arguing after what happened in the election that Kamala Harris should have been Time Magazine’s Person of the Year? For what? Blowing more than a billion dollars in three months and still losing?”

I think if you were writing a movie about the comeback of Donald Trump, and you tried to sell it, people probably would have told you that they wouldn't buy it because no one would believe it. But it happened, with him ultimately winning in triumph despite all the efforts against him, including impeachments, convictions, and assassination attempts. Trump rang the morning bell at the New York Stock Exchange Thursday morning, a precursor to ringing in a new age in Washington and the country come January. --------SNIP-------- While there were other people on the shortlist for Person of the Year...
