pen the Denver Post and you might experience intellectual whiplash. In one article, readers are warned that Colorado ski resorts face an uncertain future due to climate change, with “less reliable powder days” threatening the industry. Resorts must invest in snowmaking, diversify revenue streams, and brace for a warming planet. Right beside it? A forecast of more than two feet of snow for Colorado’s mountain peaks. Two feet. Apparently, the climate crisis is now capable of producing both the imminent demise of snow and an old-fashioned Rocky Mountain blizzard. Sometimes on the same page. This is not satire. It’s modern climate journalism. Climate journalism is actually a thing. The Washington Post employed 24-30 such journalists

I was hoping that the Denver Post would have disappeared by now. Aside from the Post's climate change articles that Joondeph talks about, a lot of the Post's content typically includes NY Slimes articles ad nauseam.

Climate is always changing. The question is, what drives it and what impacts it will have over time. The answers to those questions are NOT clearly knowable, the climate system is too complex for certainty. The problem is that the climate debate has been taken over by people that have other agendas and are perverting science to get what they want. The problem for those people is that the observed weather is not cooperating with them and muting their apocalyptic predictions. Without the apocalypse, they can't drive their agenda.

An extremely well thought out, well written commentary. Several great excerpts: "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) acknowledged the complexity, “The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.” And later, he notes: When every storm becomes a morality tale about fossil fuels, people tune out. Reasonable citizens can support clean air, efficient energy use, and environmental conservation without embracing apocalyptic rhetoric. They can acknowledge warming trends while rejecting the claim that humanity stands on the brink of climate extinction. Catastrophe fatigue is real. And media institutions contribute to it when they reflexively frame ordinary meteorological events as existential omens." Well said, sir. Well said.

Last Sunday, as a massive blizzard hit New York City, Comrade Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani posted praise of municipal workers on X: “Grateful for the public workers who keep NYC running — especially in a blizzard. From 5am suhoor with @NYCSanitation to visits to @nycparks’ Randall’s Island garage, DSNY’s Flushing plow shed & @nycdot’s salting operation … it’s working people who show up for NYC.” Mamdani included four photos, including one of him praying with four Muslim workers from the Department of Sanitation; suhoor is the meal that Muslims eat before dawn during Ramadan, as the fasting period begins with the rising of the sun.

An Iranian-linked mosque in Manassas, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., held a memorial service Sunday evening honoring Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling him "our leader" and sending "glad tidings on the martyrdom of His Eminence." A now-deleted post on Manassas Mosque's Instagram page detailed the Sunday evening service to honor the now-obliterated strongman they saw as their leader, noting a "potluck" meal would be take place before the commemoration.

Wth brilliant intelligence and close U.S. and Israeli cooperation and coordination, Operation Epic fury is systematically dismantling the terrorist regime of Iran’s ayatollahs. And as if in a game of chess, the war has reshaped the Middle East, (a consistent source of hostilities), into a more peaceful and orderly part of the world. It has also demolished fears of Russian and Chinese intervention on behalf of the regime. (Russia’s too broke and China’s grasp is less than its reach.) Indeed China, which depended on Iran and Venezuelan oil, is unlikely to make good for a while if ever on its threats to occupy Taiwan. A quick reminder of Iran’s anti-U.S.

Welcome to "The New Monroe Doctrine," where I give you an update on what's going on in the Western Hemisphere, south of our border, especially as it relates to the United States. China's been embedding itself in Latin America and the Caribbean for years. Decades, even. We know this. We know that during four years of whatever you want to call the Joe Biden administration, it got even worse. While Congress was arguing over pronouns and gender ideology, and the president was alienating our allies in the region, like Nayib Bukele; bending over for our adversaries, like Nicolás Maduro; and, well, probably taking lots of naps, China was setting up
Does Eric Swalwell have another China problem? 7 replies

t's bad enough that Rep. Eric Swalwell, who's running for governor of California, doesn't live here, as court filings allege. Now it's coming to light that he doesn't seem to have much loyalty to the country it's actually in. He's taken, and continuing to take, big campaign cash from a lawyer with abnormally strong ties to the Communist Party of China. According to Fox News: Rep. Eric Swalwell's, D-Calif., gubernatorial campaign continues to be bankrolled by Keliang "Clay" Zhu despite concerns over his ties to China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Zhu donated another $25,000 to Swalwell's campaign earlier this month after he had already donated $5,000 to Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign in November
From Loyal Opposition to Sabotage 2 replies

I was raised to believe that democracy came with duties as well as rights. You voted. You accepted the outcome. You argued your case, made your peace with defeat when it came, and waited for the next election. Politics was competitive, sometimes bruising, but it was not meant to be an existential threat. The opposition’s role was to hold the government to account, not to weaken the country for political gain. That older civic instinct now feels rather quaint. In theory, the idea of the “loyal opposition” remains central to democratic life. But in practice, it is disappearing before our eyes. We still have opposition parties, of course.

So I gather “mogging,” and/or “mogged” is the new hip term for . . . something . . . among the Gen Z or Millennials, like “flexing” a decade ago. And it seems “maxxing” goes with it somehow. I can’t keep up. But somehow I suspect both terms can be used creatively with Gruesom Newsom, whose 2028 presidential campaign is already over, though he won’t know this for another couple years.

As badly as “green” mythology has damaged the United States, it has been even more devastating to a number of other countries, including Great Britain. Thus, we have this cri de cœur: “Britain’s industry ‘on cliff edge’ over cost of electricity.” It is becoming impossible to sustain basic industries–the ones most essential to any nation’s security–in the U.K. Britain is committing a “national act of self-harm” through its high energy prices and risks losing its few remaining electricity-hungry industries, the chief executive of the Society of Chemical Industry has warned. Sharon Todd said the country’s industry was “standing on the edge of a cliff”, facing electricity prices among the highest

Could things get any worse for Minnesota's elected officials? In just nine years, autism-related spending in Minnesota ballooned from roughly $1 million to a jaw-dropping $343 million. That is not a typo. That is a more than 34,000 percent increase. Most of that surge happened under Democrat Governor Tim Walz. (X) We are not talking about a modest policy expansion. We are not talking about inflation. We are not even talking about a doubling or tripling of a program.

The federal income tax is abusive. It is inconsistent with liberty. It has, as Chief Justice John Marshall noted, the power to destroy. There is nothing positive to be said about it. It cannot even raise government revenues efficiently. As we said a year ago, of all the good Donald Trump could do in his second term, eliminating the federal income tax would be one of his greatest achievements. It’s clearly one of his goals. “As time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax,” Trump said during his State of the Union address.

A Democrat running for office in California has reportedly called to defund the Pentagon, but her husband works for a company that built missiles the United States is believed to have used during the recent strikes on the Islamic regime in Iran. Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is a candidate for the state’s 65th Assembly District and her husband, Fazlul Zubair, is an engineer manager for Raytheon, the New York Post reported Monday. The United States and Israel launched a joint military operation targeting Iran on Saturday in part to ensure the regime will never have the capability to threaten the world with nuclear weapons, according to Breitbart News.

Saying that this decision sends "a powerful message that the Constitution still protects families, and California schools are not above the law," parents and teachers in California have won a "monumental" ruling at the U.S. Supreme Court, halting California schools from secretly transitioning children and hiding the information from parents until the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issues its final decision. The U.S. Supreme Court threw out a 9th Circuit Court ruling that allowed government-run schools to keep secretly transitioning children while California parents pursued a lawsuit against the state. The 6-3 ruling means that the parents will be able to continue exercising their fundamental civil rights "under the Free Exercise

The son of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was selected to replace him as supreme leader, according to a report in opposition media. Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, a powerful body of clerics, Iranian International said Tuesday. The report was widely being picked up by Israeli media but had not been confirmed by Iranian state mouthpieces. Mojtaba was at first believed to have been among the 40 top Iranian aides killed during the Saturday strike that took out Iran’s highest-ranking cleric.

A Russian mogul who once called sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell his “soulmate” was found dead in a luxury Moscow apartment Monday, according to reports — just weeks after his name surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Umar Dzhabrailov, a Chechen businessman and former senator, was discovered lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head at about 3 a.m., Russian outlet Kommersant reported, citing police sources who called it a suspected suicide. Police discovered a Luger pistol lying by the 67-year-old’s body. But Dzhabrailov — who had tried to take his life in 2020 — didn’t leave a suicide note, the sources said.

The outpouring of joy on the streets of LA is impossible to ignore. Thousands of Iranian-Americans lined Wilshire Boulevard on Saturday and Sunday to celebrate the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes that, they hope, will bring down the Iranian regime. On Westwood Boulevard, in the heart of “Tehrangeles,” there were raucous cheers inside Persian restaurants. Flags hung everywhere — the sterile tulip of the Islamic Republic replaced by the lion-and-sun of the previous era. The Iranian people, at home and abroad, believe that freedom is at hand, and that President Donald Trump is bringing the redemption for which they have waited for decades.

Dry, arrogant, measured for the most part, and center-right. It's not like he went all Bill Kristol or George Conway on us, so I usually roll my

When you’ve constructed a cartoon version of the world in your mind, what do you do when reality proves it wrong? If you’re the leftist establishment, you certainly don’t rethink your assumptions. Late Friday, New York Times columnist David French snarkily referred to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as a “walking MAGA caricature” on X. Four hours later, Hegseth’s troops were pounding Iran in an intricate series of strikes that left its evil regime reeling. The response to French — who has not withdrawn his sneer — was unsympathetic. My favorite: “Let’s have a contest … you and Pete show up at Fort Bragg, see who the troops respect more.”
