Another key finding: Nearly six in 10 ‘elites’ say there is too much individual freedom in America
...“An astonishing 77% of the Elites – including nearly 90% of the Elites who graduated from the top universities – favor rationing of energy, gas, and meat to combat climate change.
Among all Americans, 63% oppose this policy,” the organization reported. The poll...a “first-of-its-kind look at the views of the American Elite.”
They are defined as “people having at least one post-graduate degree, earning at least $150,000 annually, and living in high-population density areas (more than 10,000 people per square mile in their zip code).”...
Such alarmist graphic propaganda is common similar to Yale 360’s climate alarmists pushed, emphasizing Arctic Ocean’s warming of several degrees in November 2022, while ignoring the cooling over North America and Eurasia.
But any critical thinking person can see warm Arctic temperatures are due to inflows of warm Atlantic water not a CO2 climate crisis...

"Now we know that today, #Hamas terrorists in #Gaza have executed several hostages, including a woman, and continue torturing children, in a flagrant violation of international law. Tonight, they will likely use the baseless excuse that #Israel's airstrikes were responsible, without providing any evidence. Facing defeat, Hamas terrorists are increasingly desperate, resorting to killing even their own people. They may also return to their tactic of fabricating incidents, known as 'Pallywood' tactics.
Harvard University has acknowledged that it has found some problems with former president Claudine Gay’s academic work via its plagiarism probe.
“Harvard now admitting that its whole defense of Claudine Gay was bogus. Whoops!” conservative activist and CRT expert Christopher Rufo, who was one of the first to call Gay’s Ph.D. dissertation into question over potential plagiarism, wrote in a Monday X/Twitter post.
The head of the World Health Organization has called on countries to sign the health organization's pandemic treaty to prepare the world for a "Disease X," an undesignated term for a future pandemic that could be more deadly than anything humanity has faced.
Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, noting that he hoped nations across the world would reach a pandemic agreement by May to address a future danger, according to the New York Post. Scientists have speculated that "Disease X" could be up to 20 times more deadly than COVID-19.
"...Turns out the watchdog didn’t bark because it knew the thief, and my supposition is that there is a good reason why we have behaved as if Iran and its proxies merit no more meaningful response:
This Administration -- as did Obama’s -- has been thoroughly compromised respecting the ayatollahs. In a lengthy post, Hussain-Abdul-Hussain, who analyzes such things for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy, summarized the recent provocations of Iran.
This week, Iran attacked without provocation Pakistan, later claiming preposterously that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched the attack without the knowledge of Iran’s foreign minister. It’s a pattern -- after attacks by the IRGC in Iraq, and from Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen, the regime claims these were done without its knowledge. No one there, it seems, contrary to evidence, is accountable for the damage....

The leftist faction in America that would like to ban guns has tried just that, unsuccessfully. Members have tried banning ammunition. They've tried registration and licenses. And taxes. And much more.
Their latest is the concept of a database of owners that could be compiled by assembling records of gun purchases, from banks, credit card companies and more.

Ballots Cast Without Proof Of Citizenship ‘Exploded’ After Lawfare Crippled Arizona Election Laws
About 1,700 people in Arizona voted in 2018 with a federal-only ballot. Two years later, the number grew to 11,600 individuals.
"After Arizona officials signed a consent decree agreeing to let voters who failed to provide proof of U.S. citizenship on their state voter application forms vote in federal elections anyway, Arizona saw an “explosion” of voters casting federal-only ballots.
The soaring numbers coincide with millions of illegal immigrants flooding into the United States...
"So I open my electronic window onto the world this morning, and I find lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth about a projected sea level rise in the US state of Maine.
Seems there’s something called the “Maine Climate Council”, which has un-named “scientists” advising it...
To give you an idea of how high they want you to dial up the alarmism, the article says (emphasis mine):
For reference, Maine sea levels are projected to rise between 1.1 and 3.2 feet by 2050 and between 3 and 9.3 feet by 2100, depending on how successful and quick we are at curbing global emissions rates, according to the scientists who advise the Maine Climate Council.
Now, folks who follow my work know that I’ve done a lot of analyses of sea level claims.
And this one set my bad number detector ringing louder than Representative Bowman’s fire alarm... … not much else to say about that, except that when you hear someone talking about “climate change” and “sea level rise”, hang on to your wallet, because you’re being had.
I’m not worried about “misinformation” when I log on. And I don’t know anybody who is. (Except the people looking for work policing it.) Something I just Googled: “Inform” comes from the Latin informare, “to train or instruct;” hence “misinform” = “to train or instruct in the wrong way.” Well, isn’t doing things “the wrong way” how we innovate? I’m no philologist, but I’m going to go with my gut and conclude that misinformation is good and healthy and can lead to greater knowledge.
"GENEVA (AP) — The U.N.'s migration agency is launching its first “global appeal,” seeking $7.9 billion to help people on the move and ensure smoother pathways to migration, at a time when the fallout from climate change, conflict and both economic distress and opportunities has caused millions to leave their homes... The U.N. humanitarian aid chief, Martin Griffiths, last month decried a “ severe and ominous funding crisis”...
