President Biden just pledged to shut down 60% of America's electric power
President Biden just pledged to shut down 60% of America's electric power - Stephen Moore
"The Biden administration made two virtue-signaling proclamations at last week’s COP28 conference in Dubai that it says will help save the planet from climate change.
The policies aren’t likely to change the planet’s temperature by even one-tenth of a degree, but they might just destroy the 21st-century American industrial economy as we know it.
These regulations will cause rolling blackouts and brownouts across the country, much like we’ve already seen in California — America’s forerunner of radical anti-fossil fuel policies...

The policies aren’t likely to change the planet’s temperature by even one-tenth of a degree, but they might just destroy the 21st-century American industrial economy as we know it.
- First, Team Biden announced it will stop production of all new coal plants in the United States.
- Vice President Kamala Harris trumpeted the next day new rules to “sharply reduce methane from the oil and natural gas industry.”...Eliminating methane is a de facto ban on natural gas power plants.
These regulations will cause rolling blackouts and brownouts across the country, much like we’ve already seen in California — America’s forerunner of radical anti-fossil fuel policies...

F-35 Fighter Plane Shoots Down a Cruise Missile: A Sharp Lesson from Israel is a Setback for China
F-35 Fighter Plane Shoots Down a Cruise Missile: A Sharp Lesson from Israel is a Setback for China:
American technology is scoring big against Iran-backed threats in the Red Sea region, and it’s bad news for China.
You know the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Carney was in the news again Sunday, shooting down drones launched from Yemen’s Houthi rebels against merchant shipping in the Red Sea. This crew has been taking out drones and missiles supplied by Iran for weeks now, and their tally is over two dozen destroyed so far.

Biden Admin Pays Anti-Israel Group That Spreads Lies About Gaza War To Fight 'Disinformation' - Chuck Ross 
- The Biden administration, in its efforts to fight the spread of disinformation in the Middle East, awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to an anti-Israel nonprofit that has pushed fake news about the Israel-Hamas war.
Cofounder Chris Aboukhaled pushed Hamas’s claim that Israel bombed Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza.
The rocket that struck the hospital was actually fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another terrorist group in Gaza...
Javier Milei Takes Office in Argentina, and His First Move Immediately Triggers All the Right People
Javier Milei Takes Office in Argentina, and His First Move Immediately Triggers All the Right People - By Bonchie 
"For the first time in decades, Argentina is no longer ruled by socialists.
Libertarian-leaning President Javier Milei was officially sworn in on Sunday, marking a major turning point in the country's battle against hyperinflation and economic decline.
- In November, Argentina reached 183 percent inflation for 2023, impoverishing around 40 percent of the country, a reality that helped sweep Milei into power.
- Now, he's taking action, with his first move in office being an executive order that slashes the number of government ministries from 21 to nine.
Among those put on the chopping block was the ministry of "women, genders, and diversity," a move he recently telegraphed in his criticisms of "social justice."
- It didn't take long for the hand-wringing to begin in the press.
PBS News published an article dripping with sanctimony, claiming that Milei's ideas are "outlandish" and "radical."
What makes that so ironic is that the very same article admits that Argentina is in dire straits...
Pro-Palestinian Radicals Target Symbols of Christianity
Pro-Palestinian Radicals Target Symbols of Christianity:
Radical pro-Palestinian demonstrations appear to have developed a new tactic: they are targeting Christmas tree lightings across the country, and other Christian symbols, in addition to symbols of Israel and Jewish institutions.
The latest example was Friday’s protest in Los Angeles, where pro-Palestinian radicals marched from a fundraiser for President Joe Biden to an area where there are several synagogues. They sprayed anti-Israel graffiti on the walls opposite the synagogues, and also vandalized a local church.
Two heroes of the eco-loon-left, concoct conflicting, death-to-civilization schemes!----- The disagreement between two climate scientists that will decide our future
The disagreement between two climate scientists that will decide our future - Robert Chris, Hugh Hunt"Getting to net zero emissions by mid-century is conventionally understood as humanity’s best hope for keeping Earth’s surface temperature (already 1.2°C above its pre-industrial level) from increasing well beyond 1.5°C – potentially reaching a point at which it could cause widespread societal breakdown.
At least one prominent climate scientist, however, disagrees.
At least one prominent climate scientist, however, disagrees.
- James Hansen of Columbia University in the US published a paper with colleagues in November which claims temperatures are set to rise further and faster than the predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In his view, the 1.5°C target is dead. He also claims net zero is no longer sufficient to prevent warming of more than 2°C. To regain some control over Earth’s rising temperature, Hansen supports accelerating the retirement of fossil fuels, greater cooperation between major polluters that accommodates the needs of the developing world and, controversially, intervening in Earth’s “radiation balance” (the difference between incoming and outgoing light and heat) to cool the planet’s surface...
- Michael Mann from the University of Pennsylvania in the US and another titan of climate science, spoke for many when he dismissed solar radiation management as “potentially very dangerous” and a “desperate action” motivated by the “fallacy … that large-scale warming will be substantially greater than (Mann's) current-generation models project”.

'Unspeakable barbarity': Steven Spielberg finally speaks out about Hamas' attacks against Israel on Oct. 7 | Blaze Media:
Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg finally decided to speak out about Hamas' terrorist attack against Israel on October 7. The comments surfaced in a feature published by the Shoah Foundation earlier this month.
The Shoah Foundation was founded by Spielberg in 1994, and its mission is to "give opportunity to survivors and witnesses to the Shoah — the genocide of the Jews — to tell their own stories in their own words in audio-visual interviews, preserve their testimonies, and make them accessible for research, education, and outreach for the betterment of humankind in perpetuity."

Who Is Sara Biden? Joe’s In-Law Emerges as Central Figure in Foreign Cash Deals - By Paul Sperry 
- Trouble has followed Sara Catherine Jones since she married into the Biden family almost three decades ago.
In the years since, she and her husband have been accused of reneging on debts and failing to pay their taxes, court and property records show.
Like their nephew, first son Hunter Biden, they have reportedly sold the promise of access to their powerful relative to companies, several of which have gone bankrupt, some of which are tied to foreign countries hostile to the United States.
- Now, Sara Jones Biden has emerged as a key figure in the mushrooming Biden foreign influence-peddling scandal...
The Rotten Core Of College Campuses
The Rotten Core Of College Campuses - About The Volokh Conspiracy - JOSH BLACKMAN"...Regrettably, as soon as Israel was established, the millennia-long train of anti-semitism simply morphed into its latest manifestation: anti-Zionism...
This doctrine was dressed up in all the academic garb of Marxism, anti-colonialism, and critical racial studies.
Anti-Zionism was championed by elite academics on campuses.
DEI apparatchiks, ostensibly hired to promote equity, reified the anti-Zionist trope.
Students, who are woefully unfamiliar with world history, see the children of the Holocaust as just another oppressor.
And, as they are taught, any act of resistance against the oppressors is not only justified, but necessary. The right type of violence demands silence.
- The "gotcha" questions about whether a call for genocide is anti-semitic largely misses the mark.
- The deeper question is why are elites, in every civilization, drawn to theories that antagonize the Jews...
Think about each one! ("Fine people" was the lie that Trump called Nazis "very fine people")

Most students at Yale received A's last year, frustrated professors say it's 'dishonest to our students' | Blaze Media:
Anew report recently revealed that Yale University is apparently handing about grades in the A-range like they are candy. An estimated 78.97% of all the grades given to undergraduates at the prestigious university fell within the A-range.
The surprising development has left both students and faculty alarmed that high grades appear to have lost their value, according to the New York Times. Shelly Kagan, a philosophy professor, said: "When we act as though virtually everything that gets turned in is some kind of A — where A is supposedly meaning ‘excellent work’ — we are simply being dishonest to our students."

UN's COP28 climate summit offers burgers, ribs while United Nations lectures everyone not to eat meat | Blaze Media:
The United Nations has been lecturing everyone not to eat meat for years and is expected to soon release a report calling for reduced meat consumption. Yet in a hypocritical development, meat is prominently featured on the menu at the United Nations' COP28 climate summit.
Fox News reported, "Among the food options offered for attendees are The Hungry Hub, which offers beef and meat; Philly Jawn by Ghostburger, which offers burgers and Philly cheesesteaks; Swaggers, which offers smoked ribs and smoked wagyu burgers; and Mattar Farm Live Cooking, which serves 'unbelievable smoked meats' and 'melt-in-your-mouth BBQ.'"
