About That Science We’re Supposed To

Earlier this week, we editorialized about the Great Green Grift of the climate hustlers who line their own pockets as well as those of their co-conspirators. Today we dig into the science, which has been repeatedly abused, often abandoned and artfully prostituted to support the global warming racket. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has long been treated as always having the first and last word on global warming. Google’s artificial intelligence says it’s “widely regarded as the world’s leading authority on climate science, providing essential, peer-reviewed assessments that inform international policy.”

For the first few iterations of its big reports, the IPCC main big assessment was good work, but what got distribted was a policymakers' summary that was trash. But you could get the real thing online. Later, you could no longer get a printot of the real thing. Yes there was a PDF but it was too huge to load; it "existed" yeah, but was not actually available. Might have been able to buy it but the price was very high. Just endless games those people played, to keep real scientist on board wihile at the point of delivery, delivering baby trash.

The IPCC's initial report (which kicked off this entire business) was a summary of some 2500 scientists divided into three groups. Gr I analyzed the data. Gr II came up with projections and conclusions. Gr III recommended policies and actions to remedy the impacts of Gr II's recommendations. One Group was not allowed to interfere with the assigned responsibilities of the other two. What was published was the policymaker's summary as #1 states. It was in Gr II that the critical finding - human activity causing global warming and that being a settled fact was based. This group has 600 members. Yet the finding was attributed to all 2500. When the details were forced to be released it was found that none of the 600 had specifically agreed with the key finding. It came from the executive group summarizing the report consisting of ,journalists, UN bureaucrats and the likes. It was all made up.

The PuppetMasters were planning to enslave us with their Global Warming lie which morphed over time into the more flexible Climate Change lie. Still a lie. Today the PuppetMasters are planning to enslave us with AI. And AI requires insane gobs of power....which cannot possibly come from those stupid windmills and solar panels. So.....the Old Lie is no longer operational. Welcome to the New Lie. "AI will make the world a wonderful place". The PuppetMasters still want us all to be their slaves. Just a new plan to get there.

A few years ago NOVA had a very interesting show about how Earth was formed and everything that happened to it to the present day. The tens of millions of years of heat, ice ages, thousands of years of volcanic activity, meteors hitting and causing destruction wiping out dinosaurs and other species of animals, even times when it was like paradise. And then the last few minutes of course, the narrator said that is nothing to compare with climate change, how if nothing is done about it immediately it will kill everything on the planet. Unbelievable.

In the settlement of this great country, civilization, government, public laws, and law enforcement most often followed the citizen's efforts to punish criminal behavior. For example, it was well understood that stealing a person's horse would get your neck stretched, with due process consisting of the aggrieved party finding a sturdy limb to suspend the rope. It was the age-old concept of self-defense, as without one's horse, particularly for those traveling west of the Mississippi River, survival was doubtful in a land lacking roads, signs, towns, and cities. Stealing cattle was typically a hanging offense, although courts and trials were in short supply. Fast forward a hundred years or so, and foreign invaders from across the Pacific were cautioned by one of their esteemed military leaders to not attack our homeland due to that notion that behind every blade of grass they' find a citizen with a rifle. Obama's and Biden's invaders do not seem to be deterred by the same notions of the strength and lethality of American citizens. It's no wonder they see Americans as easy marks, since the key spokespersons of the foreign invaders are sitting members of our Congress and judges within our judiciary. Their oaths to our Constitution are as meaningless as a conservative citizen's vote for a like-minded representative in a Blue, gerrymandered state. I believe that our survival as a Constitutional Republic will, like at the beginning of our Republic, boil down to citizen action or the total acquiescence to the barbarians at or already within the gates.

The IPCC was busted on this scam 20 years ago. The University of East Anglia, Michael Mann, the hockey stick, etc., all BS. This is where the IPCC gets most of its data and the whole thing is manipulated nonsense. Of course, this was investigated by the House of Commons and found no evidence of manipulated data. Give me a break! As Rush used to say, we couldn’t kill this planet if we tried. Climate change is a fraud.

About the same time this story about backing off the climate predictions, there was another story that New Orleans would be underwater in a few decades. Well, maybe true, if the Democrats in New Orleans fail to maintain the levies which is entirely possible. Democrats fail. Has a certain ring to it.

Real science involves proving a theory though controlled experiments and being able to accurately predict the outcome. Climate scientists work on models that cannot possibly contain all of the variables and have never made an accurate prediction.

When the scale of the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota started to emerge, our first thought was that, if it’s that easy to rip off Medicaid, the North Star State can’t be the only place where it’s happening. Turns out we were right, as the Daily Wire’s exposé of massive fraud schemes in Ohio makes clear. Which means there are almost certainly still more to be uncovered. Which leads to the question of why we are learning about this only now. Daily Wire is releasing a five-part series that alleges massive fraud in an Ohio Medicaid program – a state that obtained a waiver so it could reimburse “home healthcare.”

With no relief from high energy costs, ongoing concerns over the simmering U.S.-Iran conflict and a widening political schism among voters, President Donald Trump’s favorability continued to slump in early May, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. As the U.S. nears the midpoint of 2026, can Trump turn around voters’ negative opinions in time to help his party win the 2026 midterm election? Each month, the I&I/TIPP Poll asks a series of questions about the president’s leadership performance, starting with: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable, generally unfavorable, or are you not familiar enough to say one way or the other?”

As much as $16 trillion has been spent worldwide to defeat global warming. It could have been twice that and it would never be enough because the climate hustlers need to keep the dollars rolling in to line their own pockets. Now we finally have an Environmental Protection Agency chief who’s exposing the racket. Testifying last week before a Senate committee, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told lawmakers that the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion stash that was created through the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, is a con.

If there’s a lesson to be learned from the collapse of Spirit Airlines, it is that today’s Democratic Party should never be in charge of anything. Does that seem like a stretch? Not when you consider the facts. Four years ago, Spirit and JetBlue started talking about merging operations. Spirit was struggling to stay afloat, thanks in part to the massive run-up in inflation under President Joe Biden. The merger would have been a lifeline to Spirit and would have ensured low-cost competition survived. But Democrats — led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren — decided that they knew better.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was not happy when the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance Kevin Warsh’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve, saying it would amount to a takeover of the Fed by President Donald Trump. No surprise there. For today’s Democrats, everything Trump does is either illegal, a threat to Democracy, or fascistic. But then Warren said that “The Trump economy is in real trouble. Inflation is up, job creation is down. The stink of stagflation is in the air, and President Trump is getting desperate.” Is any of that true?

In a decision that shouldn’t have surprised anyone, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Democrats can no longer create safe electoral fiefdoms based on race to win elections, calling it “racial gerrymandering.” It’s about time. The ruling essentially “neuters,” as some put it, Section 2 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. PJ Media scribe Matt Margolis called the decision “one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation.” That’s not hyperbole. And it was long overdue. While still upholding the landmark Voting Rights Act, a 6-3 conservative majority found that a redrawing of Louisiana’s congressional

For more than three decades, it’s been almost invariably accepted in policymaking circles that fossil fuel use has to be reduced and then eliminated altogether if we are to save the planet. But the second Trump administration has restored reason and logic to the energy and environment debate. Every American who enjoys the life-giving benefits of fossil fuels today should be thankful. Monday’s entertaining exchange between Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zeldin and Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut, who seems to have never been hinged to reality, is a bright spot we’ve needed for some time.

Revelations that the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center had been funding “hard right” extremist groups raise an important question beyond whether or not it was defrauding donors. The question is: If right-wing hate is so prevalent in America, why does the left have to fund it? We’re still learning what it is, exactly, that the SPLC has been up to, but what we’ve learned so far is pretty damning. The group — whose “hate map” holds tremendous sway with the press, politicians, and corporate America — was apparently raising money on the promise that it would stamp out hate groups, then use some

Against our better judgment, we decided to read Cole Allen’s “manifesto,” written before he tried to carry out what officials say was his plot to kill President Donald Trump and various other administration officials. When we did, we were surprised at how ordinary it was. Ordinary in the sense that it sounded like just about any Democrat or TDS sufferer you talk to these days. Allen says he’s “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Gee, where have we heard language like this before?

Americans have always dreamt of a national come-together moment when all felt unified in purpose and intent. But, as the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows, unity among America’s many factions and demographics has been elusive since the start of this decade. Each month, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asks Americans across the nation whether they would say the U.S. is “very united,” “somewhat united,” “somewhat divided,” “very divided,” or simply “not sure.” From this, I&I/TIPP creates a national Unity Index, which allows for comparisons over time.

America’s real insurrection is a long-term project of the country’s Democrats. It appears to have hit some snags, however. Maybe, as their carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, we’ll be able to save our republic after all. The power and influence of the Democratic Party over the past two to three decades has been built on appearances. The legacy media, of course, are committed comrades and make it appear as if today’s party of the left is no different than it was in the days of John F. Kennedy. In truth, though, it is far more radical, blatantly anti-American, and outright corrupt.

The South Carolina House voted last night to open the door for redistricting in a special session a week from now. The measure still has to pass the South Carolina Senate; however, with the Indiana outcome at the forefront of their political future, the redistricting is more than likely.

Given Clyburn’s stature as one of the key architects of the DNC ballot harvesting and election counting fraud via the AME Church network, Democrats are apoplectic.

The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down a congressional redistricting map approved by voters in a referendum last month, ruling that the Democratic-controlled Legislature failed to follow constitutional procedures when advancing the measure. The proposed map would likely have favored Democrats, giving them four additional congressional seats and creating a projected 10-to-1 advantage over Republicans in the state’s U.S. House delegation. The decision could strengthen Republican efforts to maintain control of the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of the midterm elections.
