Speaking during an interview with Miranda Devine, Vice President JD Vance commented on how it is socially deleterious for American communities to be flooded with immigrants who cannot speak the English language, noting that it is common and reasonable for people who want neighbors who are like them in at least some ways. Doing so, the vice president told Devine during the interview that, in his view, it is “totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next door neighbors and say ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with.’” Continuing,…

In some absolutely massive news announced on X, Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ) announced that he was formally calling on the Trump Administration to end the notorious and noxious OPT program, one which many in MAGA contend allows companies to put lower-paid foreigners first and American workers last. For reference, the Operational Practical Training program is one that allows foreign students who are studying in the United States under an F-1 visa to become eligible for working in the United States. Under it, all students who get authorization can work for 12 months after graduation, and STEM graduates qualify for another…
Indiana GOP Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith this week said that President Donald Trump threatened to strip the state of federal funding if Republicans did not approve a redrawn congressional map that favored Republicans in all nine of the state’s districts.The state Senate voted down the map redraw on Thursday, leading Trump allies to announce primary challenges to every Republican that opposed the plan. Beckwith revealed that Trump had ramped up the pressure ahead of the vote in a now-deleted post. “They told many lawmakers, Cabinet members and [Gov. Mike Braun] and I that this would happen,” he said, according to…
The left-wing media have shown no signs of ending their obsession with the U.S. military conducting a “second hit”, ordered on a boat that was allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean back in September. That obsession, along with a new one focused on President Trump’s remarks on Somalia, continued on Wednesday afternoon’s CNN News Central, with co-host Boris Sanchez doing battle against Florida Republican Congressman Randy Fine, who was not having any of the usual lefirst talking points. Fine politely tore apart so much of Sanchez’s leftist propaganda, which started with the infamous video of that second strike: SANCHEZ: Shouldn’t…
PBS’s Amanpour & Co., which is simulcast on CNN International, hosted guest Demetre Daskalakis on Monday’s edition and repped his appearance in an email with the subject line: “‘People Will Die:’ Fmr. CDC Official Warns Against HIV/AIDS Cuts.” Daskalakis resigned as director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases in August. A deeper dive into the history of Daskaslakis’s politically correct hypocrisy during his Biden-era term at the Centers for Disease Control would have been instructive. But all we got from guest host Bianna Golodryga was commiseration against the ignorant rule of Trump’s Secretary of Health…
Nothing bothers the European elite as much as American conservatives praising the European foundations of their shared, but threatened, Western civilization. Europeans especially resent having their social-welfare state system critiqued by upstart, crass Americans.Their pique only increases as they push back against the condescending American idea that the U.S. could possibly offer any constructive advice, much less help a more civilized Europe follow the “American model.” Americans, in turn, are worried that Europe is not just stagnating but is on a trajectory of permanent decline — with dire consequences for the entire Western world. As for symptoms, the U.S. cites…

Republicans need more incentive to vote for congressional Republicans. They are letting us down. They should be tough, off and running. Instead, it’s business as usual, and a clear lack of understanding of the threat we face. It’s not all congressmen, but it’s too many. The criminals who gave us a CCP-style, economic-crushing, education-destroying lockdown over a mishandled pandemic are not yet punished. We couldn’t get drugs and were told the experimental virus was the only response to the virus. The leaders of the Russiagate coup are still free.

Texas agriculture officials are sounding the alarm after confirming that a fast-spreading insect, never before seen in North America, is now threatening ranches and farms across more than 20 counties. The pest, called Helicococcus summervillei—better known as the pasture mealybug—is damaging pasturelands that livestock producers depend on for hay and grazing. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller issued an alert this week, calling the pest a serious concern for the state’s agriculture industry. “This is a completely new pest to our continent, and Texas is once again on the front lines,” Miller said. “If the pasture mealybug spreads across Texas grazing…
A new round of debate over holiday traditions kicked off this week after former MSNBC host Joy Reid shared a video online that accuses the classic Christmas song “Jingle Bells” of having racist origins. The video, which quickly went viral, reignited interest in a years-old academic paper but has also drawn criticism for how that research is being interpreted. In the video, a man wearing a red holiday sweater stands in front of a historical plaque in Medford, Massachusetts. The plaque marks the site where James Lord Pierpont is believed to have written the song in the 1800s. The video…
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins proved to be no match for White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a fiery exchange about the economy. Collins was being selective in her scrutiny of President Donald J. Trump, pressing Leavitt about his alleged mixed messaging on the economy. The president’s spokesperson noted that inflation is down from what Trump inherited and is trending in the right direction, reminding Collins that the Biden administration “jacked” inflation up to “a record-high 9%.” “Nobody reported it on being high under Biden.

BERLIN (CN) — Flanked by towering high rises and some of west Berlin’s most bustling boulevards, the rows of quaint, brightly-lit wooden stalls make the Breitscheidplatz Christmas market feel like a small holiday island.

President Donald Trump tore into Senate obstruction of Republican judicial and U.S. attorney nominees, denouncing the “Blue Slip” tradition as an unconstitutional roadblock that has effectively handed the confirmation process to Democrats in key states. The blue slip practice currently functions as an informal veto power for home-state senators. The current Senate Judiciary Committee policy requires positive blue slips from both home-state senators for a nominee to receive a committee hearing and a potential vote. The failure to return a positive blue slip (or returning a negative one) from even one of the two home-state senators is typically enough to…

Just in time for Christmas, a federal judge has ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—yes, that Kilmar—the man allegedly tied to MS-13 and now facing human smuggling charges. And the best part?

“A sweeping new economic study released this week has confirmed what American families have felt for years: federal regulations are quietly draining household budgets—to the tune of more than $14,000 per year in hidden costs. The analysis, conducted by a coalition of market economists and regulatory scholars, estimates that the cumulative impact of federal rules—spanning energy mandates, environmental restrictions, labor requirements, health-care rules, financial compliance, and consumer-product regulations—now amounts to a “shadow tax” that rivals or exceeds what many families pay in federal income taxes,” notes Liberty Conservative News. The study finds that the average American household pays an indirect regulatory…

Wrong, Financial Times, the Arab Region Faces No Climate Emergency By Linnea Lueken A recent (paywalled) Financial Times (FT) article, “‘Too hot to handle’: climate change pushing Arab region to limits, says WMO,” claims that the Arab region is being simultaneously hammered both by increasing heatwaves, droughts, and paradoxically, more flooding, and extreme rainfall, all due to human use of fossil fuels.

“[T]he fraction of [fossil] fuel-related emissions still remaining in the air (about 23 ppm out of 425 ppm at the end of 2024) cannot have any climatic effect.” – Veyres et al., 2025 A few years ago Dr. Koutsoyiannis and colleagues used equations associated with the chemistry of temperature-driven organic respiration to demonstrate that, since the late 1950s, temperature-induced increases in plant and soil emissions (31.6 Gt-C/yr) account for a 3.4 times greater ratio of the >100 ppm rise in atmospheric CO2 than the contribution from the increase in fossil fuel emissions (9.4 Gt-C/yr). This conclusion is rooted in the observation that, since 1959, the…

Climate doom is not science By Ross Clark The costs of not dealing with climate change are, of course, much higher than the costs of dealing with it.
