Dumping milk onto floors. Hurling food onto walls. Refusing to eat. Gluing body parts. Threatening to pee and poop in your pants. Are those the behaviors of a toddler? Yes. But they’re also the dominant tactics of today’s climate activists.
Consider the case of Gianluca Grimalda. On Oct. 19, Grimalda, along with 15 other members of a climate activist group called Scientist Rebellion, glued himself to the floor of the visitors center next to a Volkswagen factory in Germany.
Although the VW security guards brought pizza to all the activist scientists, Grimalda, an economist who has published work in prestigious publications
OMG, it's happening! A few moments ago, less than 24 hours after Elon Musk took over as Chief Twit of Twitter, a fact-check has been placed on one of Joe Biden’s @POTUS tweets because… he’s lying. Biden tweeted, “Let me give you the facts. In 202, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes. My Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this.” Not so fast, homie. Twitter took the opportunity to add context that said, “Out of the 55 corporations the tweet referenced only 14 had earnings greater than $1 billion and would be eligible under Biden’s tax law.” LOL. Twitter also linked Glen Kessler’s fact-check
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made the unbelievable claim on CNN that she sees absolutely no signs of a recession despite raging inflation, two consecutive periods of negative growth, and a flailing stock market.
Spewing propaganda obviously directed by the Biden administration, Yellen had the nerve to tell Americans on Thursday to not believe their eyes or their bank accounts and to instead believe what leftists are telling them no matter how outrageous or ridiculous. Two plus two equals five after all.
“It’s very natural that growth would slow. And it has over the first three quarters of this year, but it continues to be OK,” she said on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”

HBO host Bill Maher is fed up with people being offended over Halloween costumes and with woke progressives banning anything that threatens their “fragile sensibilities,” asserting that if they don’t like it, “just stay the f*** home.”
Halloween is typically a happy time of year with parties, costumes, candy, and celebrations that include more than a few adult beverages.
But every year, the left tries to cancel the holiday, throwing cold water on anything that even remotely seems fun. Wokesters are perpetually offended on Halloween everywhere they look and the host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” has had enough.
“If Halloween is too much for your fragile sensibilities

First lady Jill Biden is hoofing it on the campaign trail in two states this weekend after visiting Rhode Island a couple of days ago, all in an effort to shore up desperate Democrats while President Biden kicks back at his Delaware home. (Video) Midterms are looking cataclysmic for Democrats and the president is pretty much AWOL. So, in steps his wife, who many contend is the real power and driving force behind the Biden presidency anyway.
Midterm elections are on Nov. 8, just days away and it’s crunch time. Even former President Obama is out on the trail plugging for Democrats, but Joe Biden is nowhere to be seen
As I reported previously, the desperate Democrats pulled out Barack Obama to help them in their flagging races in Georgia. Stacey Abrams is way behind Gov. Brian Kemp in a rematch for Georgia governor and Herschel Walker was up five points on Raphael Warnock in the most recent poll from Rasmussen.
Obama aimed at Herschel Walker in a bizarre attack, saying Walker was a great football player, but what did he have to offer as a candidate? Obama made an analogy, saying you wouldn’t want him to fly the plane if you needed to fly. He also claimed Walker was a “celebrity who wants to be a politician.”
The Biden administration is considering delaying promised military aid to Saudi Arabia in response to the Gulf country's decision to slash oil production, sources told NBC News. It could include shipments of Patriot MIM-104E guided ballistic missiles, which Saudi Arabia has a contract to purchase 300 of from the US. The Saudis have Patriot launch systems, but need the missiles to defend against attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen, per the report. Sources told NBC that some military officials support the idea, while others argue that the military relationship between the two countries should be kept separate from the oil
The weather outside is frightful, but the irony is so delightful. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who became famous during the COVID-19 pandemic for saying that unvaccinated people would be second-class citizens in her country, went to study “climate change” in Antarctica — where the freezing weather caused her plane to break down.
Ardern was visiting her country’s Scott Base in Antarctica to “highlight” supposed “climate change” and mark the Base’s 65th anniversary, according to Reuters. “Cooperation in Antarctica and in the Antarctic Treaty System is more important than ever as we tackle the crises of climate change and biodiversity loss,” Ardern stated.
The Democrat media complex has tried to incriminate conservatives for the attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi.
“We know that Nancy Pelosi has attracted the ire, the frustration, and the anger of the political right for many, many years,” CNN’s senior law enforcement analyst, Andrew McCabe, claimed during a recent interview.
On Friday, Chief Bill Scott of the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) identified the suspect in the attack on Pelosi’s husband as 42-year-old David DePape, according to Breitbart News

A Chicago High School baseball umpire was shot in the face and killed after asking his neighbors to keep it down because he had work the next morning. Carlos Rivera, 50, was shot in the second-floor apartment building on North Whipple Street last Sunday night when going to see his neighbors, ABC 7 reports. Police said the man had reported a loud disturbance that was keeping him up, and Rivera was shot in the face and body when stepping out of his apartment. He was rushed to the Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he died. No arrest has been made
One of the most respected doctors in the world and top cardiologists and epidemiologist in the country had his license revoked for speaking the truth about the danger of COVID vaccines.
Dr. McCullough is an Internist, Cardiologist, and Epidemiologist who testified to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs in November 2020.
Dr. McCullough is a cardiologist and was vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center and a professor at Texas A&M University. McCullough is editor-in-chief of the journals Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiorenal Medicine. He was and is an advocate for early COVID-19 treatment that included hydroxychloroquine.
He’s been right about everything throughout the pandemic.

Citizens for Sanity ran two brutal ad during Game One of the World Series Friday night exposing Joe Biden and the Democrat’s epic failures on illegal immigration and the economy. [Video]
The first ad focusing on immigration asks, ” How did we get here? Low wages, high inflation, record crime. Illegal immigration from places as far away as Pakistan.”
“Our cities are a mess. Public services are a nightmare. But instead of helping us, Joe Biden has sent $66 billion to Ukraine. Weapons worth billions more. And now, Joe Biden says his fight in Ukraine could lead to nuclear Armageddon. World War III.
Elon Musk ordered company-wide layoffs at Twitter on Saturday, according to a report from The New York Times. It’s unclear how many workers will be affected by the purported job cuts, but sources tell the NYT that some departments will be affected more than others. Previous reports indicate Musk wants to cut down on Twitter’s workforce by 75 percent, although he reportedly told employees otherwise when he arrived at the company’s headquarters carrying an actual sink on Wednesday. Twitter currently has about 7,500 staff members, and as noted by the Times, some managers have been asked to come up with lists of employees to let go.
It appears Democrat Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s “Trump-voting Republican” parents are not Trump-voting Republicans, but card-carrying Democrats. In what seems to be an attempt to paint himself as an everyman candidate who is more Pennsylvanian than partisan, Fetterman apparently talked his parents into claiming they are Trump voters and Republicans in one of his senate campaign ads.
“We want to tell you something about John Fetterman. He was raised by two Trump-voting Republicans right here in this house in York,” Karl and Susan Fetterman claim in the 30-second video. “Us!” (snip) Susan and Karl Fetterman have been voting Democrat for at least six years—
Joe Biden’s issues just seem to be getting worse and worse. Yet they have him out and about and don’t seem to care as much as they once did about heading off the issues he is constantly presenting. Among his concerning actions this week, he made a racist remark about airline seats, he got lost on the White House lawn, and he claimed that there were “eight bullets in a round.”
But they had Biden out in Pennsylvania again, pushing for Democratic candidates. John Fetterman is so desperate he’s willing to risk Biden coming out on his behalf. Biden spoke at the Pennsylvania Democratic Party’s annual Independence Dinner.
At least 120 people died and more than 100 were injured in a stampede in Seoul on Saturday in celebration of Halloween, according to a local officials.
Officials said the death toll could continue to rise.
The event was the “first outdoor no-mask Halloween event” in South Korea since the Covid pandemic started, the BBC reported. Nearly 100,000 revelers were jammed into the Itaewon district of Seoul, the nation’s capital.
“A lot of young people have gathered here tonight. A lot of people came to the party and club, wearing costumes, and a lot of people I’ve seen distraught and sad, and there are chaotic scenes,”
I regret to inform the meme makers, the narrative builders, and all those involved in the herculean effort to make Paul Pelosi’s attack suspect into a stand-in for the right-wing boogeyman, the after-party has been canceled. The pathetic human known as David DePape was, until recently, a public backer of Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ causes. At least, that’s what we can surmise by surveying his “home” in Berkeley. DePape had a “Black Lives Matter” sign in the window and an LGBTQ rainbow flag, emblazoned with a marijuana symbol, hanging from a tree outside his house.
Author Michael Schellenberger describes the scene outside DePape’s residence and took a dive
A major fuel supply and logistics company is raising a red flag on upcoming diesel fuel shortages. Mansfield Energy issued the alert Friday stating there was a developing diesel fuel shortage in the southeastern region of the United States. The company speculated that the shortage could be generated from "poor pipeline shipping economies" and a historically low supply of diesel reserves. (Snip) States expected to experience serious affects of the shortage include Maryland, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. The Biden administration says it is keeping a close watch on diesel inventories and working to boost supplies
Republicans have a record that Americans can see, showing that things can turn around under the right leadership as America experienced energy independence and a “booming” economy under the Trump/Pence administration, former Vice President Mike Pence said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday, ultimately predicting a Republican takeover in Congress.
Speaking on the show ten days ahead of Election Day, the former vice president reminded listeners that Republicans have been focused on the issues Americans care about, unlike Democrats.
An assailant identified as David Depape reportedly attacked Paul Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, with a hammer at the couple’s home in San Francisco early Friday morning.
Depape, 42, is a prominent nudist activist and hemp jewelry maker from Berkeley, and a member of the Green Party, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. (snip)
“My firm served a lawsuit against Paul Pelosi one time in SF after attempting to serve at other residences,” tweeted civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon. “They weren’t home, but staff were, and multiple law enforcement officers were on the perimeter. Break-in is odd given this level of security.”
An 8-year-old boy became the youngest person to finish climbing El Capitan in California’s Yosemite National Park on Friday, according to his father, who has been by his side and cheering him on since the pair began their journey earlier this week.
Sam Adventure Baker achieved the feat Friday evening, his father said in a Facebook post.
“What an amazing week! I’m so proud of Sam,” Joe Baker wrote in the post. “He completed the youngest rope ascent of ElCap!” (snip) Sam was “in a harness before he could walk,” his father said, adding that his wife is also in love with the sport.
Failed presidential candidate John Kerry has urged King Charles III to attend the United Nations COP27 climate change conference in Egypt after it was revealed that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will not travel to the meeting because he is too busy.
John Kerry, who serves as President Joe Biden’s special envoy on climate change on the international stage, has said that it would be “very powerful” if King Charles joins the globalist meeting in Sharm el Sheikh next month to help push the green agenda in light of the British Monarch’s vocal history on the issue.
The man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer had been living in a school bus weeks before the attack, neighbors said.
Those who know David DePape, 42, told The Post they’ve seen him living in a yellow school bus parked in front of the Berkeley home of his ex, San Francisco pro-nudist activist Gypsy Taub, with whom he shares three children. “He usually kept to himself,” neighbor Ryan La Coste told The Post.
California truck drivers and environmental groups presented their concerns about a proposal under consideration by state air regulators to phase out the sale of medium and heavy-duty gas-powered vehicles within the next 20 years. The California Air Resources Board held its first public hearing this week to receive feedback from the public on the proposal, which the board will likely consider in Spring 2023.
The San Francisco Police Department confirmed during a press conference on Friday evening that Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was somehow able to call 911 before being attacked with a hammer, allowing dispatch to respond.
Police Chief William Scott said when officers arrived Paul Pelosi and the attacker were standing in the entryway to the home, each holding onto the hammer.
Confirmation that Paul Pelosi made a 911 call came after media reports said he had secretly called 911 so that the intruder would not know and spoke in a way that would alert the dispatcher to what was happening without giving himself away.
Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake trolled Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Friday and sent her a thank you letter for her $500,000 ad buy against Lake, jokingly calling “the Cheney anti-endorsement the gift that keeps on giving.”
Cheney, who embarrassingly lost her primary to Harriet Hageman in August, has begun supporting Democrats running against Republicans who are strong allies of former President Donald Trump.
Cheney’s Great Task PAC announced on Friday it would spend more than $500,000 on broadcast and online ads against Arizona Republican candidates Lake and Mark Finchem, the GOP secretary of state nominee.
Paul Pelosi, the husband of Nancy Pelosi, was hospitalized after being attacked in his home (the House Speaker was not there) by a man reported to be a former Castro nudist and hemp jewelry maker named David Depape. That doesn’t sound very “MAGA” but the lib media will no doubt try and make the attacker into a Trump fan one way or another.
There’s something really weird about this Paul Pelosi attack story. Nothing is adding up.
Paul Pelosi reportedly told 911 dispatch that the individual who allegedly attacked him with a hammer in his home “is a friend,” according to a police dispatch call early Friday morning.
We received some links to the audio calls that were made to police regarding the incident. The suspect supposedly said he was waiting for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in the home. “RP” references Paul Pelosi.
Emergency dispatch officials provided the police officers with an address on the 2600 block of Broadway street in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood, according to a dispatch call that took place around 2:28 a.m. on Friday.
An aide to Virginia Democratic Rep. Don Beyer has been fired after an investigation concluded she had been working on behalf of the Chinese Embassy to set up meetings with congressional offices.
The probe conducted by the House Sergeant at Arms discovered the allegations against Barbara Hamlett. Beyer's office was notified of the findings on Tuesday, and she was subsequently terminated.
"Congressman Beyer was totally unaware of these activities prior to being contacted by the House Sergeant At Arms," Beyer’s deputy chief of staff Aaron Fritschner told National Review.
Before there was Linda Tripp--before there was Monica Lewinsky, even--there was Lucianne Goldberg. There's always been a Lucianne Goldberg. "This was years ago," Lucianne is saying. She's sitting in the bar of a steak-and-martini joint on Manhattan's West Side. We're done with the martinis, and now she's stabbing at a plate piled with steak tartare.
"This gal calls me, says she wants to do a book about all these Republican Congressmen she's--well--she's known." The way she says it, the word drips with such lubricity that you can't help knowing what known means.
"One chapter on each Republican," she continues. "One on [famous Republican name deleted], one on [ditto], another on [ditto].
President Joe Biden showed off his World Series socks on Friday as he appeared at a dinner with Pennsylvania Democrats in Philadelphia to show his support for candidates.
The president emphasized his support for Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman, despite his disastrous debate performance earlier in the week that alarmed Democrats nationwide.
“Imagine Casey and Fetterman as partners in the U.S. Senate,” Biden said to the cheering crowd during his speech, referring to Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Lt. Gov. Fetterman.
Think things couldn’t get better now that Elon owns Twitter, has fired a bunch of woke execs, and is supposedly preparing to fire a huge chunk of the company’s woke staffers?
Think again. All that’s happening, but it’s not just woke Twitter employees that are going to get pink slips. Turns out, CNN employees might be given the boot too.
That’s because CNN’s new boss, Chris Licht, remains committed to making the once-important news network a functional news network again rather than a cesspool of mostly unwatched leftist opinion. As such, he needs to do what Musk is gearing up to do and fire a bunch of woke employees.
Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that when former President Donald Trump or other Republicans mention her name, she receives a direct uptick in death threats.
During a discussion on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi, being attacked in his San Francisco Home early Friday morning, Wagner said, “Marjorie Taylor Greene, she has previously said that speaker Pelosi is a traitor to our country. She is guilty of treason. She gives aid and comfort to our enemies.”
Omar said, “We should not live in fear just because we have decided to serve our country, our constituents, and want the ability to
COLLEGE PARK, GA – Former President Barack Obama repeatedly took aim at Herschel Walker, the Republican Senate nominee in Georgia who’s challenging Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in a crucial battleground state Senate showdown.
The former president, making his return to the campaign trail on behalf of fellow Democrats with just a week and a half to go until Election Day, criticized Walker, the former college and professional football star and first-time candidate, as "a celebrity to who wants to be a politician."
Obama, who remains the most popular person in the Democratic Party nearly six years after he left the White House, is trying to perform some last-minute political magic
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Friday evening appeared at a Democrat campaign event at the Philadelphia Convention Center in Pennsylvania.
The joint appearance was super awkward.
Kamala Harris had to keep old Joe from falling off the stage.
Someone (perhaps a child) caught Biden’s eye so he shuffled over to the edge of the stage and pretended he was going to jump. Kamala Harris panicked when she thought Joe Biden was going to jump off the stage.
It’s almost time for the royals to read it and weep.
Prince Harry’s hotly anticipated memoir is set to hit the shelves Jan. 10 — and his anxiety-riddled Royal Family is praying he does them ‘write’, sources said this week.
The duty-ditching duke’s tell-all, titled “Spare,” is expected to make an explosive splash and his relatives are reportedly “hugely nervous” about a tome they consider a “time bomb.”
“The consequences of this will be far-reaching and may be highly destructive,” royal author Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Mail on Thursday.
A new political ad blasting President Biden over issues like illegal immigration and the state of the economy aired Friday during Game 1 of the World Series.
“How did we get here?” the ad begins, lamenting “low wages, high inflation, record crime” and “illegal immigration from places as far away as Pakistan.”
The ad, broadcast 11 days out from the midterm elections, was paid for by Citizens for Sanity and appeared to be targeting Latino voters — with the narrator speaking with a clear Hispanic accent.
“Our cities are a mess. Public services are a nightmare.
On Friday, the Florida Board of Medicine and the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine Joint Rules/Legislative Committee passed a resolution prohibiting puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery for minors.
The rule only applies to children under the age of 18, and kids already being subjected to puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones as part of an IRB-approved clinical trial at a university-affiliated center will be allowed to continue treatment.
Dr. Nicholas Romanello, a member of the Florida Board of Medicine, proposed the rule after explaining that the risks of the treatments outweigh the benefits, and pointing out that the national health departments of Sweden, Finland, and England have abandoned “gender-affirming” care for minors
Houston - Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto hit a tiebreaking home run in the top of the 10th inning, leading to a stunning 6-5 victory against the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night.
The Phillies scored six straight runs after trailing 5-0 early in the game.
Realmuto deposited a 3-2 fastball by Astros reliever Luis Garcia into the right-field stands, sending his dugout into a frenzy. The home run came moments after Phillies right fielder Nick Castellanos made a sliding catch in the bottom of the ninth to preserve the tie.
The game had no scoring from the fifth inning until Realmuto's home run,
Paul Pelosi reportedly told 911 dispatch that the individual who allegedly attacked him with a hammer in his home “is a friend,” according to a police dispatch call early Friday morning.
The alleged intruder reportedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer, which forced him to undergo emergency surgery for his injuries. Officers later identified 42-year-old Berkeley resident David DePape as Pelosi’s attacker. DePape was reportedly wearing only underwear when officers arrived on the scene. He was taken into custody and will be charged with multiple felonies, including attempted murder, San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins announced.
The increased cost of living is taking its toll on seniors in the United States.
Persistently high inflation has caused essentials such as food, gasoline and home utilities to eat into Americans’ paychecks. And the demand for housing, an issue predating the pandemic, has only increased, making it more difficult to secure affordable living spaces.
But the economic squeeze in the United States has been felt more acutely by seniors who are on fixed incomes and are looking to age in place.
Older adults are facing uncertainty amid major life changes, and like millions of others, they are again looking for roommates to split costs.
A scheduler for Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) was unceremoniously fired this week after an investigation found that she was also working on behalf of the Chinese embassy to attempt to set up meetings between the embassy and Capitol Hill staffers who were working on bills the embassy wanted to weigh in on. From National Review, which broke the story Friday morning:
A source familiar with the situation said that the House sergeant at arms (SAA) notified Beyer’s office on Tuesday that Hamlett had requested meetings with different congressional offices on behalf of people at the Chinese embassy, after staffers in other offices reported being contacted by her.
COVID likely started circulating in China is late 2019–now 3 years ago–and its effects have dominated our lives for 2 1/2 years.
Yet for much of that time the Establishment™ has been gaslighting us about its likely origins. You know that. The Establishment™ knows that you know. And now the Senate Republicans on the health committee are laying the facts out on the table. COVID almost certainly was released accidentally from a Chinese research lab.
It was remarkable how quickly the Narrative™ settled on the zoonotic origin of the virus, since warning signs that the virus didn’t originate naturally were everywhere. Even scientists who confidently declared in private
