• New England used to be 70 per cent farmland but is now 70 percent woodland.
• Haiti is brown and deforested because it relies on renewables yet its neighbour the Dominican Republic is green because it uses a fossil fuel product , propane.

• Last month, the DJIA opened at 41,879.36. It closed yesterday at 40,669.36, a drop of 1,210.39, or 2.89 percent.

92% of media report negative information about Trump's presidency. Yesterday I was watching one of the local channels and it was reported that the market went into a free fall yesterday because of his actions when it actually gained. This is one reason I didn't want him to win because I knew they would do all this stuff. But that is the only reason. I'm glad he won and excited about America's future for a change.

The clown!

 

Secretary Rubio drops hammer on reporter asking about El Salvador and Abrego Garcia | Blaze Media

Secretary Rubio drops hammer on reporter asking about El Salvador and Abrego Garcia | Blaze Media: 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio made it clear he does not believe the judicial branch of the federal government is in control of a president's foreign policy when he was asked about Kilmar Abrego Garcia during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday. "Have you been in touch with El Salvador about returning Abrego Garcia?" the reporter asked. "Well, I would never tell you that. And you know who else I'll never tell? A judge. Because the conduct of our foreign policy belongs to the president of the United States and the executive branch, not some judge," Rubio replied.

Federal ‘Job Corps’ Spends Up To $764K Per Graduate. Participants Go On To Earn $17K Annually.

A Labor Department program designed to train 16- to 24-year-olds to join the workforce spends more per person annually than Ivy League colleges, but participants wind up making minimum wage on average — raising questions about whether it should continue to exist.

The Job Corps pays teenage runaways, high school dropouts, and twentysomething ex-cons to live in dormitories and receive their GEDs and vocational training. 

The national cost per graduate was $188,000, with the average graduate staying 13.5 months. 

Of more than 110 campuses, the 10 least efficient averaged a cost of $385,000 per graduate. 

• Job Corps participants earn $16,695 per year on average after leaving the program, according to new government data.
• Nearly $2 billion in federal taxpayer money is spent annually on residential Job Corps campuses...

What Democrats Just Did to a Republican Representative in Maine Will Shock and Disgust You By Bonchie

Democrats in Maine have not only censured a Republican representative for speaking the truth about biological reality regarding transgenderism and sports, but left-wing House Speaker Ryan Fecteau has now barred her from voting and speaking.
At the center of the controversy is a Facebook post that Republican House Rep. Laurel Libby made. 

In it, she posted a picture of a "transgender girl" (a biological male) who recently won the Maine state championship in pole-vaulting. 

For context, he had competed as a boy (which he is) just one year prior.
For that grave sin, Libby was stripped of her voting rights in the Maine House and banned from speaking on the record...

The Social Credit Score Genie is Out of the Bottle DAVID BLACKMON

It is no secret that globalists at the WEF and other internationalist organizations view implementation of a global social credit score system based on individual carbon use as the end game for their agenda.

• WEF overtly boasts about this in its Agenda 2030 literature.

China has maintained a social credit score system for many years now, and the globalists view it not as a threat to human freedoms but as an opportunity for them and their fellow elites to control human behavior using climate alarmism as the justifying motive.

• Anyone thinking that implementation of any such system is years off into the future and can somehow be prevented should probably think again. 
• Not only is it coming, but it’s also coming far faster than anyone might have anticipated....

Once this sort of technology gains universal adoption, every government on earth will be able to easily track every transaction and monitor and assess literally every move you make. 

Climate zealots will then be able to assign each and every one of us social credit scores based on your carbon emissions, and those social credit scores will then be used to control what you are and are not allowed to do...

It specifically prohibits online publication of "intimate visual depictions" of an adult subject "where publication is intended to cause or does cause harm to the subject, and where the depiction was published without the subject’s consent or, in the case of an authentic depiction, was created or obtained under circumstances where the adult had a reasonable expectation of privacy," as well as "a minor subject where publication is intended to abuse or harass the minor or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person."

"The NCA is mandated by Congress, and only another act of Congress could legally undo it. If President Donald Trump attempts to end it unilaterally, environmental groups can sue to force the report’s assembly and publication — which is what happened during the George W. Bush administration." (The National Climate Assessment is a federal compendium of climate science focused on how climate change is affecting the US)

— BWAHAHAHA!!! I learned long ago to read stuff on both sides. 

Right-leaning media are also talking about this. 

But I thought y'all might enjoy the alarmist whining. 

1. Yeah, Congress mandated the NCA back in 1990. 
2. I doubt it mandated who would write the thing. 
3. Only two of the 15 agencies have anything to do with weather: NOAA and NASA. 

All the Donald must do is assign people who practice actual science to generate the report. 

Depending on the law requiring the report, he might be able to dump some of the agencies.

• To our north, Canada elected to continue their decline. Their new PM is worse than the last one. He is a WEF devotee, and where Justin Castreau was Boy Bandish, this Mark Carney dude is Tim Walz cringey but a Bond level mastermind nevertheless...
• To the east, the lights are going out across Europe – again. What is it with these people?..The UK is arresting grandmothers for Facebook posts the government fears the Islamists won’t like and are putting people in jail for saying prayers in their heads...
• To the south we have the cartel-ruled, commie narco state of Mexico, the pipeline for fentanyl made from Chinese precursors. This is a nation that is really a confederacy of narco-territories, each ruled by criminal gangs who are very comfortable the elected government will run cover for them...
• To our west are Russia and China – either would be happy to see us go...

Liberty Lifter Ekronoplan Demonstrator Aims To Lift C-130-Sized Payloads

DARPA is eyeing a first flight for the Liberty Lifter X-plane in 2028-2029, which could lead to a much heavier-lifting production aircraft. - JOSEPH TREVITHICK
Liberty Lifter’s core goal is to prove out a new ekranoplan flying transport design that employs the wing-in-ground (WIG) effect principle. 

A future aircraft based on the demonstrator could give the U.S. military a new way to affordably move large amounts of cargo and personnel across long distances, and without the need for traditional runways...

Cargo, including light amphibious armored vehicles, has been depicted being unloaded via a large rear ramp, as seen in the video below.
