At Long Last, Clarity on Climate

The Energy Department’s recent report is drawing predictable criticism from politicized scientists.

A recent Energy Department report challenged the widespread belief that greenhouse-gas emissions pose a serious threat to the nation. It likely soothed Americans irked by forced energy transitions, but you would be wrong to assume it reassured many alarmed by hypothetical climate catastrophes.

There is a disconnect between public perceptions of climate change and climate science—and between past government reports and the science itself. Energy Secretary Chris Wright understands this. It’s why he commissioned an independent assessment by a team of five senior scientists, including me, to provide clearer insights into what’s known and not about the changing climate.

BLMers Launch GoFundMe For Subway Stabber, Charlotte Mayor Urges Video Censorship

The biggest story in the world over the weekend — on social media, that is; legacy corporate state media ignored it entirely because it’s inconvenient to their narrative — was the unprovoked plunging of a blade into the carotid artery of a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee by a hulking thug with 14 prior arrests for violent crime to his name.

Importing the Rot: How the U-Visa Became a Fraud Bazaar

Created to protect the vulnerable, the U-visa has transmogrified into a market where citizenship can be gamed and traded.

America’s immigration system was designed to embody the American social contract — a compact between the individual and the state, in which the government is impartial and bound by law. But when newcomers arrive from societies where government is degraded into barter, bribery, and patronage, they import with them a radically different conception of what citizenship and authority mean. That is the real danger revealed in Louisiana, where Chandrakant “Lala” Patel, an Indian-origin businessman, now faces a 62-count federal indictment for orchestrating a sweeping U-visa fraud.

37% of Right-Leaning Canadian University Students Fear Reprisal for Sharing Honest Opinions in Class: Poll

Thirty-seven percent of Canadian university students with right-leaning views fear facing formal consequences—including lower grades—if they share an opinion in class that differs from the accepted “safe” stance on controversial topics, a new poll suggests.

A recently released study from the Fraser Institute found that left-leaning political viewpoints are dominant on university campuses in Canada, with even 30 percent of self-described left-leaning students fearing formal consequences if they express a viewpoint in class that conflicts with what is considered the “safe” stance.

‘A colossal train wreck’: U.S. energy chief slams odds of net zero by 2050

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has lambasted plans to reach net zero emissions by 2050, calling the climate target “a colossal train wreck” that countries will most likely fail to achieve.

His comments, which were first published as part of an interview with the Financial Times on Monday, come as Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum prepare to travel to Milan, Italy, for the Gastech energy conference.

“Net zero 2050 is just a colossal train wreck … It’s just a monstrous human impoverishment program and of course there is no way it is going to happen,” Wright said in remarks shared by the U.S. Department of Energy on social media platform X.


Canada is about 5 years behind normal.

The View: Trump Crime Crackdown Literal ‘War’ Against Americans

Monday marked the beginning of season 29 for ABC’s The View. Back from their summer hiatus, the liberal ladies were just as unhinged as ever as they decried President Trump’s crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital. Co-host Joy Behar suggested that Trump was going to have the National Guard launch a literal “war” against American civilians. Meanwhile, co-host Sara Haines proclaimed that the money used to support the Guard was better spent on one night of shelter for the homeless, rather than deterring murders.

Africa joins crusade for UK to pay reparations for ‘historic crimes’

Africa has joined a campaign to claim reparations from Britain for “historic crimes”.

The African Union called for “meaningful reparations” from “former colonial powers” for exploiting the people, land and resources of the continent.

The bloc blamed “systemic injustice” ongoing in the continent on imperialism in the 19th century.


OK Africa but let’s start with making your African Slave Trading Tribes pony up their share and then we’ll do a tally of all the foreign aid your sinkhole of a continent will be paying back.

Yes, Canada should (mostly) end our temporary foreign worker programs

The Conservatives are right: The Temporary Foreign Worker program mostly should not exist.

But the Conservatives are also missing something: the Temporary Foreign Worker program, or TFW, is only a small part − in fact the smallest part – of Canada’s temporary foreign worker programs.

Five men charged with helping Rabih ‘Robby’ Alkhalil, convicted in 2012 College Street mob hit, walk out of B.C. jail

Rabih (Robby) Alkhalil

Five men have been charged with aiding in the breakout from jail of organized crime figure Rabih (Robby) Alkhalil three years ago.

The RCMP said it cannot confirm media reports that Alkhalil, 38, was arrested Friday in Qatar — more than three years after he walked out the front door of a B.C. jail while serving time for murdering a GTA man on a crowded patio on College Street.

Also known as “Robby,” Alkhalil is a leader of the Wolfpack Alliance, a confederation of crime groups heavily involved in cocaine importation with some members linked to the Hells Angels.
