Enough Climate Action — Shut The Money Spigot

They’re not as obnoxious as the “In This House We Believe” yard signs, nor as common, but if in the right neighborhood, it’s not hard to find “Climate Action Now” signs. The virtue signalers want the universe to know they are concerned that not enough is being done to keep Earth from baking. So who wants to tell them? We do. The volume of laws, rules, and regulations that have been passed and issued across the world to take “climate action” is probably innumerable. But we do have a good fix on how much has been spent. According to Danish researcher and author Bjørn Lomborg,

Who knew that a State of the Union address would feature more medal ceremonies than the Winter Olympics?
OK, it just seemed that way. But the made-for-TV award-aganza – incredibly including, twice, America’s top military honor – was just one feature of perhaps the most spectacular event of its kind ever.
“Spectacular” in the word’s original sense, “of the nature of a spectacle or show.” As in:
The bombastic beginning: “Our nation is back. Bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before.”
The theatrical call-in of the Olympic champion U.S. men’s hockey team, followed

Polls show that more than eight of 10 voters want President Trump to focus on the economy in his State of the Union speech.
That’s a good idea, and Trump should tout a series of amazing economic and financial accomplishments. Stock market at near all-time highs, inflation cut in half, real incomes up, middle class savings from the big beautiful tax bill, gas prices down, and energy production up. Private employment is up, while government employment is down. Retirement savings for American families (including 401k plans) are up almost $22,000 on average, more than reversing the losses from the Biden years when runaway inflation

As NASA eases its Artemis II rocket back to the hangar for repairs this week – the second launchpad delay this month – it raises the question of whether this government agency should be in the manned spaceflight business at all anymore.
To say that the Artemis program – which has so far cost taxpayers more than $93 billion – has been plagued with problems is an understatement. It has been a case study in bureaucratic bumbling, one made more obvious when compared with the rapid advances achieved by private space companies such as SpaceX.
Here’s a brief timeline.
This is a truly Bizarro World story out of deep blue Prince George’s County, Md.
Back in December, some 100 families living in the Marylander Condominiums complex were told they would have to leave their homes because the building was deemed “unfit for human habitation.”
Last week, a Maryland judge signed a final eviction notice, which could leave many of these families homeless.
Why?
Turns out that the complex has been besieged for years by a nearby homeless encampment that is “a haven for gangs, drugs, and prostitutes”

'Donroe Doctrine' Activism: I&I/TIPP Poll 3 replies
The U.S. has arrested Venezuela’s former leader and appears on the verge of toppling Cuba’s regime through stiff economic sanctions. Are Americans tired of this? No. In fact, a majority want the U.S. to either maintain its level of activity in the Western Hemisphere or to expand it, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The national online poll, taken from Jan. 27 to Jan. 29 by 1,384 adult voters, has a margin of error of +/-2.9 percentage points. The poll’s main message: If Americans are tired of President Donald Trump’s activist foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere — jokingly called by some the “Donroe Doctrine”
Sometimes, it takes the simplest thing to wake up the public to just how radical an ideology is.
And that’s a lesson jihadist Nerdeen Kiswani just learned when she posted about how people shouldn’t have pet dogs.
Kiswani, for those just tuning in, is a virulent Jew-hating Islamist who is co-founder of a group called Within Our Lifetime (WOL), whose mission is eradicate Israel from the map and which features a photo of a protestor carrying a “globalize the intifada” sign on its homepage.
This is a person who:

"Late Night” host Stephen Colbert must have thought he had a three-fer with his “canceled” James Talarico interview. He could blame Donald Trump for censoring an opposing voice, get his name in the headlines before his show is (mercifully) canceled, and boost the prospects of his favorite Texas Senate candidate.
But almost immediately, his ruse fell apart.
Colbert told his audience that he’d planned to interview James Talarico – one of three Democrats competing in the primaries to run for senator in Texas – but CBS forced him to pull the interview.

Keep Firing Federal Freeloaders

Federal employment is at its lowest since the mid-1960s. Has the country fallen apart without the Washington bureaucracy holding it all together? Hardly.
Donald Trump was elected to accomplish a number of objectives. One of them was to cut, and hard, the federal administrative state. The mission has not been accomplished, but after a year, the federal workforce has fallen from more than 3 million to about 2.7 million, roughly where it was six decades ago, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Like a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean, it’s a good start. But
No one has ever accused California Gov. Gavin Newsom of being consistent, or of having any actual principles, or of being much of an intellect, for that matter. Still, the fact that – while trying to bash a sitting president while in Munich – Newsom managed (accidentally, no doubt) to call a Big Lie on himself is a new milestone in self-owning.
At a Munich Security Summit, Newsom had this to say: “If there’s nothing else I can communicate today, Donald Trump is temporary. He’ll be gone in three years.” [snip] But that’s not what Newsom has been telling Americans.
No. Here in America, Newsom
President Donald Trump has barely finished the first year of his second term in office, but already pollsters are looking to the midterm 2026 congressional battle and 2028 presidential election. That includes the I&I/TIPP Poll. Believe it or not, many voters are already deciding whom they will support.
The latest national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked registered voters of both major parties and independents two questions about their preferences.
The poll, which was taken by 1,126 registered voters from Jan. 27 to Jan. 29, has an overall margin of error of +/-3.1 percentage points.
The first question:
Another billionaire, this time Mark Zuckerberg, has fled the Golden State. There are still plenty left. But the trickle could quickly turn into a flood if voters and lawmakers continue to punish the rich. At what point, one wonders, will it be too late for the state to abandon the path to destruction that it chose to take many years ago?
Zuckerberg follows Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin and Larry Page as recent ex-pats. He and his wife are reportedly relocating in income-tax-free Florida. The exodus is clearly in response to the probability that voters will approve a special tax on billionaires this fall.

Rabid leftist Hollywood actor Robert De Niro choked back tears on an MS NOW podcast claiming that President Donald Trump is “destroying America” — just minutes after taking jabs at the Commander-in-Chief’s masculinity.
The foaming-at-the-mouth, anti-Trump, leftist actor appeared Monday on an MS NOW podcast hosted by liberal commentator Nicolle Wallace and railed about Trump, seemingly the only topic he is able to talk about any more.
He blasted Trump calling. him, “sadistic” and “cruel,” mocked Trump as “triggered” by “real men” with “displays of actual strength.”
The actor went on to explain, “He knows he’s never experienced or displayed anything like that in his life
President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union speech gave every American a front-row seat to see exactly who Democrats are — and more importantly, what they refuse to stand for.
According to reports, more than 70 Democrats chose not to attend the speech, but most did, and several times over the course of the evening, they made a choice. They sat. They scowled. They heckled. While Republicans rose time and again in applause, the left side of the chamber looked like a group of children being punished.
And Trump noticed.
He called them out — repeatedly — for refusing to show even the most basic bipartisan enthusiasm for moments

A Guide for Democrats Who Oppose Secure Elections 22 replies
The Democratic Party’s latest talking point against the SAVE Act is almost performance art in its absurdity.
We are now expected to believe that birth certificates are mystical documents, whispered about in legend but never actually seen. They are simply too elusive for modern Americans to locate and too burdensome for a civilized society to require.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, have both recently claimed they do not know where their vital records are, as though those documents vanished into the same void as missing socks. “I don’t have my birth certificate,” Sanders said last week. “God knows how I get it.”
President Trump's State of the Union speech Tuesday night got extra heated when he relentlessly called out Democrats for supporting sanctuary city policies and refusing to stand for the American people over criminal illegal aliens.
Literally, refusing to stand.
The President challenged Democrats to affirm their support for the American people over illegal immigrants. And they just couldn't do it.
"I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle," he said, glaring at the Democrat side of the room. "If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support."
The principle?
Well, we knew the Democrat antics ahead of and during Tuesday night's State of the Union address from President Donald Trump would not disappoint, and it surely hasn't so far, with Democrat Rep. Al Green (TX-09) keeping up his tradition of getting kicked out of Trump presidential addresses by being deported out of this one, too.
Green was seen during the early portion of Trump's speech holding up a "Black people aren't apes" sign. He was ejected soon after:
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise swiped at the sign as he entered with the president,
As President Donald Trump considers whether and how to conduct military strikes against Iran ahead of another round of talks in Geneva, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine has advised the president and senior officials that such action could carry significant risks, including the possibility of a prolonged conflict, according to Axios.
Axios reported that Gen. Caine has advised Trump and top members of his national security team that a military campaign against Iran could carry serious consequences, including the possibility of the United States becoming entangled in a prolonged conflict. The account was based on conversations with five sources

Rice was national security adviser and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under former President Barack Obama, and later served as a senior advisor in the Biden White House. She returned to Netflix’s board in 2023 after leaving her role as director of the Domestic Policy Council in the Biden administration.
Rice boasted during a podcast last week that “it is not going to end well” for corporations, news organizations, and law firms that “bent the knee” to Trump, claiming that their deference to the president is unpopular.She said that firms aligned with Trump could face an “accountability agenda” if Democrats return to power, stating,—
The death of Jesse Jackson, who got his start lying about holding MLK’s body in his arms, shaking down companies with fake racism accusations to get franchises for his sons, and subsidize his affair and his out-of-wedlock baby, has given a boost to his criminal son.
Jesse Jackson Jr, a former Obama campaign co-chair, had been busted and sent to prison for making off with $750,000 in campaign cash and spending over $10,000 on Michael Jackson memorabilia, including $8,500 on two fedoras, not to mention $800 on a mink cashmere cape, is relaunching a campaign for his old House seat in Chicago, while exploiting his father’s death.
The Department of Defense just made a move that ensures American military dominance for the next 50 years.
It’s secured access to a breakthrough semiconductor technology that will power the next generation of American military systems.
Fighter jets that outperform anything else in the sky. Missile defense that can track threats twice as far. Electronic warfare capabilities that protect our troops and keep them coming home.
And it’s all being manufactured right here in America… with technology no one else can replicate.
The technology is gallium nitride. And if you’ve never heard of it, you’re not alone.

For decades, American defense systems ran on silicon chips.
The O’Keefe Media Group went undercover at CattleCon in Nashville, Tennessee, and exposed how Tyson, JBS, Cargill and National Beef secretly control America’s beef market.
In November, President Trump said cattle prices were falling while beef prices kept rising and launched an investigation into price manipulation.
Trump directed the DOJ to investigate the meat packing companies who are driving up the prices through illicit collusion, price fixing and price manipulation. The O’Keefe Media Group went undercover at CattleCon and ranchers spilled the beans on how the “Big Four” control the beef industry.

It’s no secret that in today’s Hollywood, artistic risk-taking often comes second to woke ideological conformity. Censorship, virtue signaling, and overprescribed outrage have become show-business-as-usual. Studios trip over themselves to inject far-left political messaging into nearly every script, award shows have become lectures, and entire careers can be derailed by a single viral moment that stokes a campaign of indignation. The industry’s obsession has created a climate where self-censorship is the norm and challenging the narrative is a career hazard.
