  • More money needs to be spent on projects such as climate-proofing infrastructure like railways and roads, improving flood defences and increasing drainage, says the climate adaptation committee.
  • The risks of heatwaves, droughts, flooding and failing critical infrastructure are increasing in the UK due to global warming, but the government has been too slow in acting to limit them, according to a new report from its climate change watchdog...

Despite massive DEI efforts, UMich students report feeling worse about themselves | The College Fix
  • ‘A politicized climate on campus … makes them feel unhappy,’ student said
"After implementing one of the largest DEI programs among U.S. higher institutions, the University of Michigan found in multiyear campus climate surveys that students felt less fairly and equitably treated than since the start of the initiative.
Student satisfaction with the overall campus climate notably dropped by almost 11 percent over five years, with respondents also feeling slightly less valued or that they belong on campus...
  • “In its transition to DEI 2.0, the university must abandon programs that focus on immutable characteristics and stop making students feel guilty or despondent over their upbringing. 
  • The future needs to be dependent on students’ sense of duty to make their fellow Wolverines feel welcome, and we need to encourage them to befriend and learn from each other,” said Hilu in his Jan. 24 email.

Holman Jenkins: A Balloon Pops D.C.’s Myth Bubble: Federal agencies have become too comfortable using disinformation.

"...It became clear that, whether from serendipity or design, national security agencies were using UFOs to hide something they didn’t want us to see. That something, it has slowly dribbled out since last May, was Chinese surveillance in U.S. airspace. Suspected Chinese drones have been a sometimes daily presence in U.S. military training sites going back perhaps a decade or more. We learn now of multiple balloon incursions too....

  • ...The FBI used “objectively false” Russian intelligence, the Justice Department’s inspector general tells us, to justify its improper acts in the Clinton email matter.
  • It used false Steele dossier evidence to obtain a warrant on a minor Trump campaign associate. It used the same false information to stir the media’s collusion pot...
  • ...We come to the second part. As its truth-finding skills apparently atrophy, the federal government has become increasingly adept at using false information to solve problems..."

Disney to Lay Off 7000 Employees as CEO Bob Iger Slashes Spending Amid Profitability Crisis

As Breitbart News reported, the Disney+ streaming channel series  The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder is pushing reparations for slavery, claiming in its latest episode that America was founded on “white supremacy” and “still has not atoned” for its racism.
Last year, the company picked a political fight with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over the state’s Parental Rights in Education Law, which forbids the teaching of sexuality and gender theory to kids in kindergarten through third grade

The disastrous skirmish ended up costing Disney its coveted self-governing status in Orlando.

Media pillar admits 'potential vulnerabilities,' 'security challenges' in electronic pollbooks | Just The News
"The Associated Press, a bulwark of the establishment media push to marginalize questioning of the headlong transformation of U.S. election processes, is now acknowledging technological problems and security issues with electronic pollbooks, even while fretting about possible exploitation of such vulnerabilities by purveyors of "election conspiracies" and continuing to advocate use of the machines.
"High-profile problems involving electronic pollbooks have opened the door for those peddling election conspiracies," the Associated Press reported Saturday in a story headlined "Electronic pollbook security raises concerns going into 2024."
  • The AP acknowledged that electronic pollbooks have "potential vulnerabilities" and "come with unique security challenges." 
  • At the same time, the wire service cited "experts" warning that the devices "could be prime targets again for those seeking to disrupt the voting process and sow chaos around U.S. elections."..

Rep. Byron Donalds fact-checks CNN anchor who pushes Biden's attack on Republicans over Social Security, Medicare - TheBlaze

Rep. Byron Donalds fact-checks CNN anchor who pushes Biden's attack on Republicans over Social Security, Medicare - TheBlaze

After all, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has said definitively that Social Security and Medicare cuts are "off the table" in the debt ceiling debate. "[I]t's off the table. We've been saying that for a month now. The only person saying that we're talking about Social Security cuts is Joe Biden. He's been lying to the American people," Donalds explained. "No Republican on the Hill has said, 'Hey, for debt ceiling, we're going to look at Social Security and Medicare.' It is not true. "I'm one of the most vocal members of our conference," he added. "I am telling you, not true."

THIS science IS settled!

DON SURBER: Rules for RINOs.

"What Republicans need are more MTGs. At a hearing on Twitter censorship, she told the Twits that Musk canned, “You permanently banned my personal Twitter account and it was my campaign account, too. You abused the power of a large corporation, big tech, to censor Americans. I’m so glad you’ve lost your jobs. Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter.”

Instead of more MTGs who take their gloves off and fight, we get Mittens. At the State of the Union, Romney called out Republican Congressman George Santos who lies so much, he could be a Biden, except Mitt never called out a Biden. . . . When a Republican needs them most, RINOs are helping Democrats — every single time.

This paper is Fauci’s admission that the injections that were forced on millions to billions of people world wide were administered under false pretenses and were known to be ineffective.

Education board member gets booted after defending Constitution, speaking out against socialism | Fox News

Dutta's ousting follows a contentious exchange last week during a board meeting reviewing proposed changes to history and social science standards in Virginia public schools. Two of the foundational principles outlined in the learning standards are that the "Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are remarkable documents" and that socialism and communism are "incompatible with democracy and individual freedoms."

Government to American Citizen: Don’t Protect Yourself or YOU Will Be Punished

Government to American Citizen: Don’t Protect Yourself or YOU Will Be Punished
"...One of those people who is apparently NOT allowed to protect himself is 73-year-old Arizona cattle rancher George Alan Kelly, who shot and killed an illegal alien who was on his property at the end of January...
The dead man is a repeat-invader, having been deported multiple times but he kept coming back.
  • Kelly has been charged with first-degree murder even though Arizona law says deadly force is allowed on a person’s property if the homeowner believes it “immediately necessary to prevent trespassing.” Kelly is being held with his bail set at a whopping $1 million.
  • Kelly asked for a reduction in bail. He said about his wife, “She’s there by herself… nobody to take care of her, the livestock or the ranch…And I’m not going anywhere. I can’t come up with a million dollars…Would you consider reducing it to any degree?” 
  • That didn’t happen.
Meanwhile, rapists and murderers elsewhere, as you have been reading about, have been released from the revolving door of the prison system and Democrats don’t see to have a care in the world about that..."
