Pelosi and Her Entire Jan. 6 Committee Were Just Hit with a Constitutional Overreach Lawsuit

Pelosi and Her Entire Jan. 6 Committee Were Just Hit with a Constitutional Overreach Lawsuit: 

“Congressional committees are supposed to write laws, not run politicized investigations for the purpose of prosecuting their political opponents,” the release said. “Pelosi is attempting to kneecap the RNC for political gain while trampling on free speech and freedom of political association.”

“If Pelosi and her committee want to look at candidates and committees who lie to their donors to dupe them out of money, they should look at Democrats.”

The end of the Age of Fragility - spiked

The end of the Age of Fragility - spiked
"...we need to ask ourselves how we got into this situation. 

How we arrived in a world in which defending people from supposedly offensive words is considered more important than defending our borders. 

In which we seem to have so little need for the virtue of ‘strength’ that we’re willing to blacklist the word itself for being gendered and stereotypical. 

This is where the Ukraine war really confronts us. 

It interrupts, violently, our post-Cold War conceits. 

It upends our belief that history, in Europe at least, is largely settled, and now we can concern ourselves with petty things like pronouns and sexual identity or with purposely overblown, mission-creating projects for the technocratic elite, like the ‘climate emergency’. 

...Those bombs in Ukraine have shattered this Western arrogance and decadence by reminding us that history lives...Read all!

Dershowitz: I Will Defend Any Lawyer Targeted by McCarthyist '65 Project'

Dershowitz: I Will Defend Any Lawyer Targeted by McCarthyist '65 Project': 

But this is the first time in my memory that centrists, liberals and leftists have organized to attack lawyers for filing legal briefs of which they disapprove. McCarthyism of the left has become a serious problem throughout America. People are being fired, cancelled and shamed for expressing views that are not politically correct to progressives, wokes, and radicals. The formation of the 65 Project is among the most dangerous manifestations of this new form of left-wing McCarthyism.

"If you blinked you might have missed the momentous occasion of the release of the second part of the UN IPCC’s sixth assessment report...Chapter 14 was on North America and warned of the threat posed by "individualistic" conservatives who refuse to accept "collective responsibility" for driving pickup trucks.
...The IPCC’s preferred solution to the conservative problem (at least the one that it’s willing to put in print) is more media censorship. 

The report complains about the "journalistic norm of balance” that gives "equal weight to climate scientists and contrarians" and are "unevenly amplifying certain messages that are not supported by science"...Read all!

Drilling is only right response to combat worst-in-40-years inflation numbers

Drilling is only right response to combat worst-in-40-years inflation numbers: 

President Joe Biden blamed Vladimir Putin for the worst-in-40-years inflation numbers out Thursday. Sorry, Joe: This is February data; the surge in prices came before Vlad invaded Ukraine, which will surely make the March report still worse. In February, the US inflation rate rose to 7.9%, the highest annual increase since 1982. As a result, real average hourly earnings plummeted 2.6% (the largest drop since the Labor Department started tracking that number) as higher prices ate up nominal raises.

"Britain's entire response was based on results - but one scientist says they should have been axed a year ago
It has been one of the most enduring Covid conspiracy theories: that the 'gold standard' PCR tests used to diagnose the virus were picking up people who weren't actually infected.
Some even suggested the swabs, which have been carried out more than 200 million times in the UK alone, may mistake common colds and flu for corona.
