- What few backing the bill realized was that the largest beneficiary would likely be China due to its expansive grip on the global solar photovoltaic (PV) industry.
- Worse than that, it might end up misdirecting the world’s clean energy efforts into dirtier than appreciated energy technologies because of the country’s ongoing dependence on coal-fired energy...

As Johnson explained, Jefferson believed that through these two clauses, the founding fathers build "a wall between church and state" — a wall meant to keep government out of the free exercise of religion, not faith out of government.

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming | Blaming climate change for every tragic weather event is easy and convenient | Facebook
Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming - John "Blaming climate change for every tragic weather event is easy and convenient.
However, this can be a dangerous oversimplification that ignores the role of policy and infrastructure failures in exacerbating these disasters.
- For instance, the devastating floods in Germany in 2021 were not caused by climate change, but by the failure of local and regional governments to adequately manage floodplains and build resilient infrastructure.
- Similarly, the wildfires in Maui in 2023 were fueled by a combination of failed infrastructure and poor land management practices.

Jordan Peterson corners Maher question no Dem will answer | Blaze Media:
After expounding on the “idiot meta-Marxism” that has taken over universities throughout the West, Peterson laid out a simple question that no Democrat will answer.
“One of the things the Democrats also have to pay the price for, I would say, is their absolute refusal to draw a line between the modern Democrats and the extremists,” Peterson begins to Bill Maher and his panel.

Clarice Feldman - David Bernstein: The Washington Post is just... | Facebook
"David Bernstein: The Washington Post is just doing straight up Hamas propaganda now.
Headline: Israel's War on Gaza Separates Palestinian Babies from their Mothers.
- Start with the first clause, "Israel's War on Gaza."
- A somewhat less biased would be "Israeli's War against Hamas in Gaza." A relatively neutral headline would start "Israel-Hamas War..."
- Non-neutral but still accurate headlines could be "Hamas's Refusal to Release Hostages and Surrender" or "War Started by Hamas Massacre..."
- But the Post went with the most inflammatory, anti-Israel version.
Second, while it's really sad when mothers and babies get separated, assumedly this happens in any war when people have to flee the warzone.
- Has the Post *ever* had a story focusing specifically on the separation of mothers and babies in any other war, including wars involving the US?
I'll put all my money on "no."
Like I said, straight up Hamas propaganda."

Thompson, who goes by “gaycruella” on the social media platform, shared with followers that he was “honored” to accept the role.

Our enemies have purchased our universities!-----Why the Woke Anti-Semitism?
Why the Woke Anti-Semitism? Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson"What exactly explains the campus hypocrisy and moral vacuity that fuels both DEI and anti-Semitism?
...Under their new reparatory admissions, so-called whites make up only 20-40 percent of incoming classes, and as a result Jews are increasingly scarce at tony universities.
Faculty DEI hiring matches the emerging student profile.
In addition, foreign students pay full tuition and are courted, especially those with petro-fueled scholarships.
The transcendent DEI/cultural Marxist ideology that has absorbed the curricula and culture of campuses postulates a bifurcated, victim/victimizer reductionism: Israelis and Jews are Western, white, and successful—and thus hated, while their supposed victims are not, and are thus sympathetic.
Ergo, there is an increasing hostility of DEI toward Jews...

Female boxer takes a stand, refuses to fight after finding out last minute opponent was "not a woman by birth" - Louder With Crowder:
Of all the sports where biology gives men who went through puberty as males an advantage over women, combat sports is at the top of the list. You wouldn't stand for watching a dude punch a girl in the face. Yet if that dude says they identify as a girl, we're supposed to accept it in the name of equality, tolerance, and all that gay stuff. One female Canadian boxer took a stand and said that, no, she was not going to let a guy punch her in the face.
Katia Bissonnette was set to fight in the 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship. Then an hour before her fight, she learned that her opponent was born a he while competing now as a she.

Ignorance Chic - by Peter Venetoklis - PETER VENETOKLIS"...While we are far less instinct-informed than other higher mammals, we nevertheless have certain predilections born of evolution.

- This will include such as 9/11 and lunar landing truthers, but it goes way beyond conspiracy theorizing.
- Consider the phenomenon of the flat-earther...
Why would people do this? I'm going to call it "ignorance chic." If you want to stand out, if you want to present as a cool kid and "hipper than thou," if you want to feel special rather than just one of eight billion, and if you want to find an in-group acceptance, then running with some contrarian idea, no matter lack of evidence, and no matter overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
- The latest form of ignorance chic, and it's horrifying, is the denial of Hamas atrocities on 10/7...
- Ignorance chic is also a sufficient explanation for the continued embrace of Marxism by the young, no matter that it killed two hundred million people last century...
