Nature is healing. VIDEOS AT LINK.................... Yes, failing NPR had a whole division of reporters dedicated to reporting climate hysteria. It would have been fine if they'd stuck to conservation and science instead of the anti-human cult thinking that says we're all gonna die if we don't stop the farting cows. Here's the scoop from former Chief Climate Editor Neela Banerjee: I've been at NPR for six years, and for the last three, I worked as head of its (relatively new) climate desk. We were 10 people who did ambitious, prize-winning enterprise and broke news. We launched an annual network-wide...

Billionaire investor Peter Thiel reportedly moved his family from the US to Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires as a refuge from high taxes, political turmoil and potential catastrophes like nuclear war and an AI meltdown. The PayPal co-founder and longtime Silicon Valley power player has met privately with Argentine President Javier Milei, purchased a mansion in one of Buenos Aires’ most exclusive neighborhoods and temporarily relocated his family to the South American nation, according to the New York Times. Peter Thiel has reportedly relocated his family to Buenos Aires as he weighs Argentina as a potential "Plan B" amid concerns ranging...

As we've been reporting, Tuesday is primary runoff day with a bunch of hot Texas races, from the Senate, with incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) against Trump-endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, to the House race with Maureen Galindo, the Democrat who made vile rants against "Zionists." One of the hot races was in the 18th district. It pitted Rep. Christian Menefee, who had won the seat in a special election in January, against Rep. Al Green (TX-09), whose district had been redrawn and who decided to run in the more comfortably blue 18th. Decision Desk has already called it....

Race called!

The internet is forever, people warn. But leading newspaper companies could change that in a burgeoning war against artificial intelligence chatbots. More than 340 national and local news publishers, from The New York Times to The Idaho Statesman, have blocked the Wayback Machine from archiving their stories due to concerns their proprietary content could get gobbled up by Big Tech companies to train AI tools like ChatGPT. That’s according to a new analysis by the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University, which first reported that leading publishers across the U.S. have cut off access to the digital tool designed to...

A former Miami-based DOJ attorney was indicted for stealing a copy of Jack Smith's report on Trump's classified documents investigation. Carmen Lineberger, the former Managing Assistant US Attorney, in Fort Pierce, Florida, was indicted on two counts of theft of government money or property, valued less than $1,000; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; and concealment, removal, or mutilation of public records. Federal prosecutors alleged that Lineberger, 62, stole a copy of Jack Smith's report, which was previously ordered by Judge Aileen Cannon to be kept secret, and sent it to her personal email account. The indictment...

Reason number 999,999,999 why migration is a bad idea. You can’t expect everybody to understand or cater to your religion or your customs. And what happened on a deportation flight from Ireland to Pakistan is a perfect example of that kind of cultural miscommunication. Several Muslim migrants, described as “high risk,” were being removed from the country after previous offenses and bad behavior. During the flight, they were served a full Irish breakfast, which included pork sausage. Irish Times: Catering on deportation flights was changed after pork sausages were included as part of an Irish breakfast served on a forced...

Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican congressman locked in a heated primary battle with a Trump-backed challenger, is fundraising from anti-war, Muslim-American activists, and leftist-aligned PACs. President Trump has called Massie, long a thorn in his side, the “worst Republican Congressman in history”, throwing the weight of his MAGA political machine behind his opponent to oust him.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is projected to lose his Kentucky House primary race to President Trump-endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein, according to Decision Desk HQ, a major victory for the president in his bid to oust Republican lawmakers who openly defy him. Gallrein, a retired Navy SEAL and farmer, was projected to win the GOP primary in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, ending Massie’s 14-year tenure in the deep-red seat. Trump recruited Gallrein to run against Massie after the incumbent congressman broke with the president on a series of high-profile issues. Tuesday’s results mark the latest example of Trump’s firm hold on...

Came in third. He's removed from power come January. BYE!

Bill Cassidy voted to convict Donald Trump in February 2021. Louisiana Republicans spent five years deciding what to do about it. On Saturday, they gave their answer. Cassidy, who has represented Louisiana in the U.S. Senate since 2015, did not finish in the top two of the Republican primary. He will not advance to the June 27 runoff. His Senate career is over. The two candidates who did advance, Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow and State Treasurer John Fleming, now face each other in a runoff that will determine which of them represents the Louisiana Republican Party against the Democratic nominee...

Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee announced on Friday that he signed a document requesting not to be included on the ballot in Tennessee's 9th Congressional District. The congressman described the district determined by "new lines" as "nothing like the 9th district that I've represented." The Democratic primary in the district is scheduled to take place in August.

General Motors quietly laid off about 500 to 600 employees this week in a sweeping global shakeup that reportedly blindsided workers with unsettling emails, abrupt virtual meetings and growing fears that artificial intelligence is reshaping the automaker’s workforce. Many of the affected employees — largely IT workers in Michigan, Texas and other locations around the globe — learned their fate during brief meetings that some workers described as cold and scripted. “No appreciation or empathy. No questions. Nothing,” one laid-off employee who spent more than a decade at GM told CNBC. “GM is transforming its Information Technology organization to better...

BREAKING UPDATE: Desiree Segari, the Florida woman who called for Trump supporters to be SHOT, has been sentenced to 13 months in prison.

LINCOLN, Neb. (Nebraska Examiner) - Late last month at the Lancaster County Election Commission, Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen observed logic and accuracy testing for ballot-counting machines as part of his “transparency tour” across multiple counties in the state. Evnen, standing behind half-height voting booths, said every single ballot tabulator in the state is tested three times a month before every election — and that the state will conduct a typical hand-counted audit after the primary election, selecting random precincts to spot check. He called Nebraska elections the “gold standard,” pointing to a new state law that allows political...

Long-serving Charlotte, North Carolina Mayor Vi Lyles, who faced calls to resign after urging compassion for the deranged vagrant accused of brutally stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska aboard a city train last year, announced she will leave her post just six months after being re-elected. The five-term Democrat, 73, said in a press release that she would resign June 30 and would not be seeking another term next year when her term ends, but offered no concrete reason for her sudden and unexpected departure. “Serving as Charlotte’s mayor has been the honor of my life. I am proud of our...

Speaking in an interview that followed his primary election defeat in Texas, where MAGA voters ousted him and replaced him with the far better Steve Toth, longtime anti-Trump RINO Dan Crenshaw went on an angry and conspiratorial rant in which he claimed that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), of all people, had stirred up anti-RINO sentiment against him. In the interview, Crenshaw began his angry and conspiratorial rambling about why he lost with commentary about how it is mean that conservatives don’t like him, saying, “There’s nothing, especially conservatives, there’s nothing they love more than to tear down their own and...
