Study: 2 new mosquito species moving toward Michigan, potential for more diseases | WOODTV.com

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A warming climate is expected to bring more than just milder winters to West Michigan.

A new study shows two invasive mosquito species are making their way farther north into the Great Lakes region and the potential for more mosquito-borne viruses, including Zika, dengue and yellow fever.
The tiger mosquito and yellow fever mosquito are not new to the United States but have never had established populations in Michigan...

And as climate change promotes more severe storms, additional flooding is expected to generate more “microhabitats” — leaving standing water where mosquitos can breed...

8 Times the Biden Administration Pushed the Transgender Agenda on Children

8 Times the Biden Administration Pushed the Transgender Agenda on Children:

Normalizing gender dysphoria quickly became a top priority of the Biden administration, particularly in 2023. But perhaps what made it seem worse was the overt targeting of children, as the Democrat’s administration made clear several times throughout the year.

Here are eight instances of the Biden administration promoting — and even championing — gender confusion on society’s most vulnerable and sometimes going as far as scolding parents who oppose his agenda.

China's Increased Bullying of Philippines to Test US Resolve :: Gatestone Institute

China's Increased Bullying of Philippines to Test US Resolve - Gatestone Institute - Lawrence A. Franklin

"Despite the allegedly warm atmosphere of the San Francisco Summit between China's Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and US President Joseph Biden, the Chinese dictator reportedly told Biden, "that Beijing will reunify Taiwan with mainland China but that the timing has not yet been decided," and "that China's preference is to take Taiwan peacefully, not by force."
It is clear that Xi is doubling down on his claim of sovereignty over almost all of the South China Sea, starting with Taiwan, and understands that he might have only a few "good" months left...

China's repeated targeting of the Philippines appears possibly related to Manila's decision to grant the US expanded military presence in the Philippines, by granting the US military access to four additional air and naval facilities, raising the number to nine.

The newly installed Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reversed his predecessor's policy: appeasing China...

The Electric Car Scheme - By Paul Homewood

If you wondered why EV fleet sales have been doing so well, look no further than the government approved Electric Car Scheme...
This means that the employee saves the Income Tax and NI he would otherwise have paid...
To be able to save 30% on the cost of lease payments is naturally hugely attractive to potential buyers, and is a subsidy paid by government.

Idiocy!

Gavin Newsom's 10-year plan to end San Francisco homelessness hits 20-year mark

Gavin Newsom's 10-year plan to end San Francisco homelessness hits 20-year mark - By Houston Keene Fox News

"...As Newsom took over following the 2003 San Francisco mayoral election, the then-mayor-elect said that December he intended to "aggressively" make ending homelessness in his city his administration's top priority.
The plan involved a 10-year strategy to end chronic homelessness with "tens of millions" of federal dollars in funding to create 550 "supportive housing" units for the troubled homeless, SFGate reported at the time....
... "Not only does the problem remain unsolved today, but in the time since, he has taken his failures statewide, where communities across California are grappling with the devastating homeless crisis."...

"...they are depriving Trump of any kind of defense, much less an affirmative one, and just like the J6 Show Committee, asking for him to be found guilty without facing a jury of his peers.
Every bit of this feels unconstitutional and if allowed to proceed, there is little to stop this process from filtering into other criminal and civil trials where, instead of being innocent until proven guilty, the process will be based on the idea that the accused is guilty until proven innocent.

I've seen so many idiots on Twitter/X claiming that if Trump was innocent, he would have produced proof by now.
Either they don't understand the law or they have simply adopted the Nina Totenberg Principle of "It's the seriousness of the charge that matters" she developed during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings...

Do you want the "wise" America-haters at the UN rule America?

Rep. Tim Burchett Says Congressional Conservatives Fail Because of the Prevalence of Sexual Blackmail
"..."Here's how it works," he said.

“You’re visiting—you’re out of the country or out of town or you’re in a motel or at a bar in D.C.—and whatever you’re into—women or men or whatever—comes up and they’re very attractive, and they’re laughing at your jokes. And you’re buying them a drink. Next thing you know, you’re in the motel room with them naked,”
And the next thing, you're about to make a key vote an what happens? Some well-dressed person comes out and whispers in your ear, ‘Hey, man, there’s tapes out on you.’ Or, ‘Were you in a motel room or whatever with whoever?’ And then you’re like, ‘Uh-oh.’ And they say, ‘You really ought not be voting for this thing.’”
