It looks like Indiana Republicans won’t join the fight for seats in the House after Democrats have bastardized the process and denied Republicans seats for the past several years. The Indiana House recently passed a new congressional map aimed at creating districts favorable to Republicans. This decision followed months of debate and pressure from the Trump administration to redraw the map to eliminate Democratic representation. The bill moved to the state Senate, where it failed. Some responded badly to Trump’s threats to primary them, but they were against redistricting from the get go. When will the country come first? Republican…

This official gift masquerading as “art” from the CCP to Brazil, pictured on the cover, was really a perfect representation of the whole climate process.Beneath the veneer of unity and moral purpose, critics warned the religious dimension of COP30 revealed a long-term shift that is increasingly out…

Pundits across the globe are speaking out about the current state of ‘climate change’, proclaiming that the climate cult is now officially dead. “We are at a historical low point of the climate cult” said Marc Morano, publisher of the Climate Depot, “In my lifetime, I’ve never seen a collapse of a political movement quite like the climate, at the moment.” At the moment, which means it’s dead for now, but not completely.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has seen enough when it comes to the largely corrupt institution known as Congress, which serves as a haven for a permanent ruling class disconnected from the people.
