Cozy friendships: New Russiagate docs expose media-government collusion * WorldNetDaily * by Paul Sperry, Real Clear Wire:
Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia.
Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating false and inflammatory leaks during President Trump's first term.
Much of their reporting has been debunked – and shown to be part of a smear campaign by high-ranking officials to undermine Trump, but the identities of those leakers have remained hidden because of the government's apparent unwillingness to expose its own and the refusal of reporters to identify the people who misled them and the nation.

Crime Can Be Tackled by Return to '3 Strikes' Laws
America’s cities don’t have a crime problem. - Jarrett Stepman
The suspect in the Charlotte slaying, Decarlos Brown Jr., had 14 previous arrests.
“His history includes convictions for felony larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and communicating threats—leading to a six-year prison sentence in 2015 for incidents dating to 2013 and 2014. He was released in 2020.”...

'Fundamental shift': Trump's work results in $5 billion monthly trade gain for U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'Fundamental shift': Trump's work results in $5 billion monthly trade gain for U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
Some of President Donald Trump's work to "Make America Great Again" and restore its business influence around the world has been high-profile, such as his use of tariffs to encourage other countries to be fair in their trade agreements.
Some haven't been quite that profile, but still have produced results.
Such as his campaign to build American energy development, production and sales.
Australia sells coal to China...
China burns the coal to make cheap solar panels.
Australia buys the panels back and calls it a ‘Just Transition. - Climate Change and EnvironMental issues.
- That’s not climate action — that’s a supply‑chain boomerang with a self‑inflicted black eye.
- - Shutting down affordable domestic energy while importing the same carbon in someone else’s packaging,
- - Paying more for power while your industries bleed jobs,
- - Handing leverage to a strategic rival who can cut you off at will,
- …then you’re not decarbonising — you’re carbon laundering and calling it progress.
- Energy poverty at home, geopolitical weakness abroad, and a dependency that can be weaponized overnight.
The emissions ledger may look cleaner, but the national balance sheet — and the strategic map — are dirtier than ever.
- A climate plan that trades sovereignty for optics isn’t a plan.
- It’s surrender dressed as virtue.

The War on mRNA—Apocalypse Imminent?
"The latest atrocity in the Trump War on Science™ has just dropped." - J. Scott Turner
- Robert F Kennedy Jr. has just announced that federal funding for research on mRNA vaccines has been cut by $500 million.
What about that “greatest medical breakthrough”?
Since the 1980s and prior to COVID-19, pharmaceutical companies had been dabbling in mRNA technology.
During this time, mRNA technology was largely a technique in search of a use...
Results generally fell short of the promise, plagued by ongoing concerns over stability and effectiveness...
As vaccines, however, mRNA technology has proved a mixed bag.
As vaccines, however, mRNA technology has proved a mixed bag.
- Reported adverse events (AE) are higher for the mRNA vaccines than for more traditional vaccines, although their incidence has arguably been exaggerated.
- Doubts have also swirled ever since about the effectiveness of the mRNA vaccines, and whether they prevent the disease or provide true immunity...
There is a deeper question to ask.
- Private industry funded much of the R&D behind mRNA vaccines.
- If it is such a promising technology, why can’t private industry step in and fund this work?...
The Tide is Turning Decisively Against Net Zero
In the belief that atmospheric CO2 is the control knob of ‘dangerous’ impending climate change, Net Zero emerged in the 2010s as the global rallying cry to ‘save the planet’. - Tilak DoshiBut a spate of recent headlines suggests that the ‘Net Zero by 2050’ policy is falling apart.
- There is a growing realisation across advanced economies that the grandiose project of achieving ‘Net Zero by 2050’ is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions.
What was once heralded as a consensus across the political class, corporate boardrooms and multilateral agencies now looks increasingly like an edifice of ideology built on a vaporous, oxymoronic ‘consensus science‘.
The rising tide of empirical reality
- the costs of intermittent renewables,
- the geopolitical consequences of energy insecurity and
- the sheer scale of power demand growth from artificial intelligence infrastructure
has swept away the carefully constructed narrative of inevitability around the so-called energy transition...
