Radical climate activism is causing toxic hysteria | Blaze Media
Radical climate activism is causing toxic hysteria | Blaze Media:
Climate change is no longer just a conversation about science; it’s become a belief system, and for some people, a dangerous one. And Lucy Biggers, former climate influencer for NowThis and producer of a viral 2018 AOC campaign video, knows this all too well.
Who Has Been Busy Destroying Democracy? - Victor Davis Hanson
"Destroying democracy" -- the latest theme of the left -- can be defined in many different ways. - Victor Davis Hanson 
- So, who in 2020, and now once again, has boasted about packing the 156-year-old, nine-justice Supreme Court?
- Who talks frequently about destroying the 187-year-old Senate filibuster--though only when they hold a Senate majority?
- Who wants to bring in an insolvent left-wing Puerto Rico and redefine the 235-year-old District of Columbia -- by altering the Constitution -- as two new states solely to obtain four additional liberal senators?
- Who is trying to destroy the constitutionally mandated 235-year Electoral College by circumventing it with the surrogate "The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact?"
- Does destroying democracy also entail weaponizing federal bureaucracies, turning them into rogue partisan arms of a president?...
It’s just hilarious that Zelensky will be going into his meeting with Trump accompanied by a little gang of Globalist leaders.
Nothing could give greater evidence that the desire to continue fighting the war has nothing to do with the Ukrainian people and their interests and everything to do with Globalist planning. - Daniel Jupp
- I’m also not sure what the Globalist side have to gain by Starmer being there. Based on the Chagos deal with Mauritius, Starmer is going to offer Putin the whole of Ukraine plus 3 trillion pounds paid by the British taxpayer.
- I’d rather like them to give away Essex, where I live in England, because Putin would run it better and make it more English
Netanyahu to Mark Levin: George Soros is Aligned with Hamas, Iran
Netanyahu to Mark Levin: George Soros is Aligned with Hamas, Iran:
The Open Society Foundations, created by billionaire left-wing Democratic Party megadonor George Soros and controlled by his son, Alex Soros, funds organizations that often have a radical agenda.
Soros himself, while a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust, is vehemently anti-Israel, and has funded groups such as J Street that oppose Israeli government policy and often seek to vilify Israel in the media and on Capitol Hill.
Netanyahu spoke about the situation in Gaza, saying that while there was no starvation, there was a situation of “deprivation” that had been created by Hamas, which steals aid provided by the United Nations and others.

- Picking out the hot-button topic of mass migration, which was the feature of every national election for a decade in Britain and yet was never addressed, Kemp was pessimistic, noting the political class had made “little effort” on the matter and did not appear to be about to try.

Trump on Russia-Ukraine: We'll skip ceasefire, go right to peace deal * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff
Trump on Russia-Ukraine: We'll skip ceasefire, go right to peace deal * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff:
After a three-hour meeting with Russian President Putin in Alaska Friday, President Trump spent hours on the phone with world leaders overnight, leading to an announcement that he expects all parties in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war soon to agree to a peace agreement – skipping the usual step of a ceasefire.
In addition, Trump said he would host Ukrainian President Zelensky in the Oval Office Monday to discuss the deal. That part of the announcement reminded some of the last time the Ukrainian leader visited the White House, an acrimonious meeting that ended without any official agreement between the parties.
