Iran’s leader: Israel will be eradicated, not Hezbollah and ‘axis of resistance’
Khamenei also adds that Israel and the United States “thought the issue of resistance was over. They are gravely mistaken.” 
Iran’s supreme leader says Israel is wrong to believe that it can eradicate Hezbollah in Lebanon and that an “axis of resistance” of Tehran’s proxies in the region is finished.
State TV quotes Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying during a recent meeting on the occasion of Women’s Day that “the Zionist regime, in its delusion, believes it is preparing itself through Syria to encircle and eradicate Hezbollah forces, but the one that will be eradicated is Israel.”...

How Trump Will End Biden's Far-Left Climate-Crazed Energy Policies - Climate Change Dispatch
And replace it with a common-sense agenda that lowers prices and is eco-friendly. - Larry Bell 
To borrow a term from the late English economist and philosopher John Maynard Keyes, President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory has reawakened optimistic “animal spirits” of the U.S. energy-driven economy that has been badly wounded by Biden administration fossil fuel regulations in favor of green subsidy fetishes.
Not only have costly climate-crazed Democrat energy policies ramped up inflation, but enormous fields of solar and wind farms have also harmed ecosystems and wildlife populations.
Not only have costly climate-crazed Democrat energy policies ramped up inflation, but enormous fields of solar and wind farms have also harmed ecosystems and wildlife populations.
- For example, ESI Energy, owned by utility giant NextEra Energy acknowledged in 2022 that its wind turbines had killed at least 150 bald and golden eagles.
- The Los Angeles Times recently reported that Avantus, a company developing a 2,300-acre California Mojave Desert solar farm, had government approval to chain-saw thousands of nearly extinct Joshua trees...

While high achievers held their own, low-performing students lost the most, widening achievement gaps.
"One in five U.S. eighth graders scored below the low benchmark, meaning they lacked even basic proficiency," Meltzer writes. That's way up from earlier years...

Pentagon should face probe for possible nefarious acts at Capitol Jan. 6, former top Army official says | Blaze Media
Pentagon should face probe for possible nefarious acts at Capitol Jan. 6, former top Army official says | Blaze Media:
In a wide-ranging interview with Blaze Media investigative reporter Steve Baker, one of the top civilians at the Pentagon under the first Trump administration said some of the DOD actions could have been seditious.
“We’ve got people at the top of the Army and the military who I believe were operating outside the Constitution and certainly outside the authorities that they were granted by the commander in chief,” said Casey Wardynski, former assistant secretary of the Army for Reserve and Manpower Affairs. “They were operating in a way that was very political. Could they have been involved?"

The Resistance is running out of energy | Blaze Media:
From DC to Sacramento to your living room, the left is tired.
Beuchert’s Saloon is a cozy and delicious restaurant on Capitol Hill, just a few blocks from the House of Representatives and even closer to our offices. This week the restaurant was in the news after a manager told a local paper she would refuse service to members of the incoming Trump administration. It’s the sort of thing that was standard for the four years of the first Trump administration, where dining disruptions and casual street violence against Trump supporters were celebrated by congressmen and celebrities alike.

New study examines 20 years of job announcement headlines 
MIDLAND, Mich. — As the Michigan Legislature considers a new wave of corporate welfare handouts during its lame-duck session, a new study from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy ...reveals that only 9% of the jobs announced in major state-sponsored deals from 2000 to 2020 were ever created.
- Analyzing front-page headlines from the Detroit Free Press, the study found that while companies promised 123,060 jobs through subsidy agreements, only 10,889 materialized.

Here are just a few of the 41 job announcements and results covered in the study:

Trump Secures $100 Billion Win for America Before He Even Takes Office:
Americans must have forgotten what it looks like when one of their elected officials fights for their interests.
Fortunately, President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election has produced regular reminders of how it ought to look.
On Monday, Trump welcomed Japanese CEO Masayoshi Son to the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where the billionaire tech investor pledged a $100 billion investment in the United States, double what he pledged on a similar occasion eight years ago but not enough to keep Trump from showing off his legendary negotiating skills.
