A recent study by Portmann and colleagues (Observational constraints project a ~50% AMOC weakening by the end of this century - PMC) warns of yet another impending “climate disaster.” The study predicts that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a key component of thermohaline circulation, will weaken approximately 50 percent by the end of the century. If true or grounded in solid evidence, it would be quite alarming because the AMOC drives warm water from the tropics and subtropics into the North Atlantic and Arctic. This immense “heat pump” moderates the climates of western Europe to a large degree, keeping it much warmer than inland counterparts at comparable latitudes.

Last Friday night at Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles had a Tupac Shakur bobblehead night. You remember Tupac? The notorious “gangsta” rapper who was killed in a 1996 drive-by in Las Vegas? Yes, that Tupac, whose life involved gangs, guns, killing, and hard time for sexual abuse. So much for family-friendly nights at the old ballpark. Wholesomeness doesn’t put butts in seats like honoring a dead thug -- not in gang-plagued Baltimore, anyway.
Paying homage to Tupac seems fitting for Baltimore, a dilapidating city scarred by all sorts of crime. Kudos to Orioles’ execs who dreamt up the promo. They certainly know their market. The giveaway was wildly successful. Expected demand
The point of a republic isn’t to enforce all the most brilliant ideas. It’s to not let one arrogant and selfish group bulldoze all the others. It’s the belief that if any group oversteps its boundaries, the pain itself (and the ensuing anger) should lead the other people to fix it.
In other words, the real question, today, in our republic, is whether stupid people should be allowed to cheat.
Gerrymandering is cheating. And our states have been gerrymandered badly for a long time — most usually to benefit Democrats. But when Texas accused Democrats of leaving the border open, thus flooding Texas with illegal aliens
Annals of Dog Rape

The Twitchy post “Kristof screws the pooch” takes up the matter of Nicholas Kristof and the alleged Israeli rape dogs at the heart of Kristof’s long New York Times column. Kristof’s column was published the day before the appearance of the report of Israel’s specially appointed Civil Commission on Crimes by Hamas against Women and Children. Silenced No More set forth the commission’s findings of Hamas’s systematic use of sexual violence, rape, and “kinocide” (systematic targeting and destruction of families) during and after 10/7 attack.
Kristof purported to report a scandal shaming Israeli authorities. The scandal appears to be of the backfiring kind.
We’ve reported on the tantrums, theatrics, and disruptions radical Dem lawmakers brought to the Tennessee House of Representatives on May 7. Although Democrats have been on the warpath nationally over redistricting, they really, really pout — and even allegedly shove state troopers — when they don’t get their way.
But for every action there is a reaction, and the leftists are really going to shriek over this one. You see, Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) just yanked all their committee assignments.
If you’re going to fool around, don’t be surprised when you find out: (X)
Of all the cards they love to play, the Democrats' favorite undoubtedly has been the race card, which they've played with near-total impunity for decades.
We've seen that a lot in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision in the Louisiana v. Callais case, which ruled that congressional redistricting based solely on race is unconstitutional. Democrats have made a lot of references, for example, to what they describe as the "new Jim Crow South," while leaving out the inconvenient fact that Jim Crow laws, as they are widely understood, were put in place by Democrats.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) was among the many who deliberately used racially charged
The Times strikes again

Nicholas Kristof writes a column for the opinion page of the New York Times. He is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner. Kristof has just unveiled a new libel against Israel in “The silence that meets the rape of Palestinians.”
You have to read it to disbelieve it. Among other things, Kristof cites “Palestinian prisoners and human rights monitors” who report “police dogs being coached to rape prisoners.”
The Times has made itself a continued source of Hamas propganda. It just won a Pulitzer Prize for its work in this vein.
Hamas has now listed fatalities suffered in the post 10/7 conflict with Israel. Several of the names included are those of Palestinian “journalists.”
I can’t believe he did it again.
Matt Damon reprised his role as Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday Night Live. This time, the central joke of the unfunny skit was that Kavanaugh, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel are all drunks. Damon as Kavanaugh was pounding beers and shots while he promised to give Trump a third term. Even the audience of trained seals sounded kind of lukewarm about it.
I have striven not to talk or write about Kavanaugh anymore, even turning down a request that went on for six years to have me submit to a profile. (I eventually did say yes,
Kim Jong-un Is Not Our Friend
5 replies
President Trump has repeatedly referred to Kim Jong-un as his “friend.” I recognize that this is a bargaining technique and that it is necessary to employ deception when dealing with the likes of Kim, but I wish Trump would not do it.
Kim Jong-un is not Trump’s friend; he is not anybody’s friend. He oversees the operation of brutal concentration camps, and he has reportedly carried out hundreds of executions, most of them public and involving firing squads but some private and involving the killing of pregnant women and teenagers and using blunt instruments such as pipes and hammers. No one who represses his people

Another interview, and no one asks former President Obama anything. It’s embarrassing, but that’s what you get when you only sit down with people in the tank for you.
Enter Stephen Colbert, who is now the latest to join the “kiss Obama’s butt” effort. At one point, the former President said this:
I’m worried about the Republican Party, not just the Democrat Party. When I was president, people would ask me, ‘What change would you like to see in Washington?’ I’d say, I’d love a loyal opposition. I’d love a Republican Party that was conservative in some ways, that didn’t agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff,
Paul Robeson: Tribute to a…?

I love the TCM cable channel, but it has a glaring blind spot for Communism. Last week it put that glaring blind spot on display in its broadcast of Saul Turrell’s Oscar-winning 1979 documentary Paul Robeson: Tribute to an Artist. Introducing the film, host Dave Karger referred to difficulties in Robeson’s career as a result of his devotion to “civil rights.”
The documentary is posted here. I haven’t double checked to confirm that it covers Robeson’s trips to the Soviet Union. However, it shows Robseson going to Spain to sing for the Republican forces. Toward the end it shows him singing a Chinese Red Army marching song that became the regime’s
The Party's Over

The Democrat party is facing such a host of seemingly intractable problems -- structural, financial, legal, and ideological -- that it will be close to a miracle if it survives after this year’s midterms. The below deck shuffles -- encouraging illegal alien votes, manipulating the census, making crooked voting almost impossible to check, and stuffing their pockets with illegal contributions through ACT Blue and pay-to-play schemes of USAID and NGOs -- are all suddenly being exposed and blocked.
Empty Pockets
Jeff Childers has done a thorough job explaining the party’s terminal crisis. Being short of funds is a good start.

Appearing on MSNBC to talk to Lawfare ally Nicole Wallace, wife of New York Times narrative engineer Michael Schmidt – the guy who received leaks from FBI Director James Comey via Daniel Richman, former CIA Director John Brennan notes there are “legions” of operatives still embedded within the DOJ, FBI and CIA who are working against President Donald Trump.
This is not a surprise as we have noted the Trump administration continues to take apart the tentacles of Lawfare and Intelligence operatives in Main Justice, various U.S. Attorney offices, FBI Headquarters, FBI field offices and various Intelligence Community silos.
WASHINGTON — Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas lamented the delay in immigration enforcement actions until the final year of President Biden’s term — despite having testified to Congress several times while in office that the US border was “secure.”
In an appearance Tuesday at Politico’s Security Summit, Mayorkas discussed aspects of the “broken” immigration system in America, acknowledging that a “low bar” for those expressing “credible fear of persecution” allowed too many migrants into the country during the Biden administration.
More than 8 million entered by the start of the 46th president’s final year in office — before Biden moved to shut down the border and crack down on illegal crossings
AUSTIN — Former President Barack Obama met with U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico Tuesday in Texas, putting his support behind a campaign that Democrats see as a shot, if a long one, for the party to win statewide in the reliably conservative state.
Obama lunched with Talarico and Democratic state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, the nominee running to unseat Texas’ Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, at a taco shop in Austin. The visit was meant to give the candidates a boost from one of the more liked figures in the Democratic Party.
Obama has been highlighting younger leaders in the party, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani,

As New York braces for another sweaty, subway-platform-melting summer, the state is once again handing out free air conditioners to eligible residents — because surviving July without one is basically an Olympic sport.
Applications for New York’s Cooling Assistance Benefit opened April 15, offering qualifying households a free air conditioner or fan, plus installation, just in time for the season when apartment living starts to feel like slow-roasting in a brick oven. [snip]
For window, portable A/C units or fans, the benefit covers up to $800, including installation.
Existing wall sleeve units can be covered up to $1,000.
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones (D) appears to have gotten his law license from Minnesota’s Quality Learing Center. After misspelling “Virginia” and “Senator” on a recent appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, Jones’ office fired off an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States that’s addressed to — lol — the Supreme Court of Virginia.
In the first case… no spell check? The attorney general’s office doesn’t use spell check? In the second case of addressing the petition to the wrong court, I’m speechless at this level of incompetence, especially AFTER all those misspellings and when this case is 1) the most important thing on the planet to Democrats

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump won’t have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal, according to a court entry Tuesday. (Snip) Smith said last week there was a “fair prospect” that the Supreme Court will find in favor of Trump, who has called Carroll’s claims first made publicly in 2019 that she was sexually attacked by Trump in a Manhattan luxury department store dressing room in spring 1996 a “made up scam.” The $83 million award to Carroll
Student visas are designed to expand educational opportunities. What’s better than studying abroad or hosting international students in the U.S. to deepen cultural ties and expand our horizons? Turns out, however, that just like we’ve seen in the massive Minnesota and California social‑service program fraud epidemic, the rampant COVID relief scams, and so much more, bad actors love to take advantage of government programs, and according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), that’s exactly what went down with a visa program called Optional Practical Training. The idea is to give foreign students with F-1 visas

A gun-wielding career criminal opened fire at random cars driving down a Massachusetts roadway on Monday, leaving two men with life-threatening injuries before the maniac was shot by responding officers.
Gunman Tyler Brown allegedly fired 50 to 60 rounds indiscriminately from an assault-style rifle as he erratically walked down Memorial Drive in Cambridge around 1:20 p.m., Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said during a press conference.
At 1:06 p.m., Cambridge police received a 911 call from Boston police, who said an individual acting erratically and in possession of a rifle was in Cambridge, Ryan said.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called the nuclear phaseout a “serious strategic mistake” that left Germany short of firm power that turned the Energiewende into the most expensive energy transition on the planet. This is an early marker for a developing worldwide retreat from policies that sidelined nuclear power and demonized coal, oil, and natural gas. Germany stubbornly closed its last three functioning nuclear reactors in April 2023 right in the middle of a crippling energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine. As pragmatists predicted, German citizens now suffer under punishingly high electricity prices and remain heavily dependent on imported energy.
Despite being newly empowered by the Callais v. Louisiana Supreme Court ruling, South Carolina’s Republican-controlled Senate rejected moving ahead with a redistricting plan that would have likely unseated the state’s sole Democrat in Congress, Rep. Jim Clyburn.
On Tuesday, the state Senate voted by a 29-17 margin to allow for the General Assembly to work on redistricting ahead of the 2026 elections. This was short of the necessary two-thirds threshold, with five Republican senators defecting.
On Monday, in a 6-3 decision, the United States Supreme Court vacated a ruling in the United States District Court of Northern Alabama, which required the state to draw congressional maps establishing two majority-minority congressional districts. The motions to expedite are granted. The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment in No. 25-243 is granted. The judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama in that case is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit with instructions to remand to the District Court
Democrats have been scrambling, trying to distinguish themselves from each other in the California governor's race, but it hasn't been going well for them, especially when the top Republican candidates are both clearly better than any of the Democrats.
You have to love their infighting because it shows how inappropriate all the Democrats are for the job.
Former U.S. Representative Katie Porter was hard at it during an interview on CNN with Dana Bash. During that interview on CNN's "Inside Politics," Porter pointed a finger at her billionaire opponent in the race, Tom Steyer, for leaking a video of her screaming at a staffer.
