Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down after funding cuts * WorldNetDaily * by Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee's FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades," the organization stated.
When democrats rule!-----Report shows Illinois government pension crisis worst in U.S.
Illinois state pensions remain fiscally unstable and threaten retirees and taxpayers, underscoring the need for reform. - LyLena Estabine
Comparing pension debt to the state’s gross domestic product helps measure the state’s ability to pay based on the local tax base.
Comparing pension debt to the state’s gross domestic product helps measure the state’s ability to pay based on the local tax base.
By that measure, Illinois ranks as the nation’s worst: unfunded obligations equal 19.02% of state GDP, up from 18.52% a year ago.
- In other words, roughly one-fifth of everything produced in the state would be required just to erase the shortfall...

Ratcliffe releases damning Durham annex. Here's what it reveals about Obama-Clinton Russia collusion hoax. | Blaze Media
Ratcliffe releases damning Durham annex. Here's what it reveals about Obama-Clinton Russia collusion hoax. | Blaze Media:
That appendix, released on Thursday by Grassley, provides additional insights into the FBI's willful failure under former Director James Comey to investigate intelligence indicating that the Clinton campaign manufactured the Russia collusion hoax out of whole cloth.
The so-called Durham annex also provides strong indications that when confronted with evidence of the Clinton campaign plan, the FBI ultimately decided not only to play along but to weaponize the false narrative against Trump.
Official Who Approved Payout To Russia Hoaxers Is Leftist Activist
DOJ Official Who Approved $2 Million Payout To Disgraced Russia Hoaxers Identified As Left-Wing Activist Brian Netter - Mollie HemingwayNetter now works for a group chaired by Marc Elias, who helped run the Russia collusion hoax.
- The Department of Justice official who signed off on $2 million in taxpayer-funded payments to disgraced Russia collusion hoax participants left the Department of Justice to help lead the “legal resistance” to President Donald Trump and other duly-elected Republicans, new records reviewed exclusively by The Federalist reveal.
- The Biden administration rewarded the duo with lucrative payouts.
- Strozk received $1.2 million in taxpayer funds while Page received an $800,000 settlement.

The Rise of the Climate Right - WSJ
Energy Secretary Chris Wright seeks to set the record straight about the science. Kimberley A. Strassel
- Something important happened this week, if the fuming response is anything to go by.
The country is witnessing the rise—finally—of a scientifically armed and debate-ready climate right. The “consensus” gatekeepers don’t like it one bit.
The Energy Department issued a report whose title might glaze eyes: “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.”...
The Energy Department issued a report whose title might glaze eyes: “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.”...
The report—written by five respected scientists, including the former chief scientific officer in the Obama Energy Department—doesn’t deny the climate is changing.
- Energy Secretary Chris Wright, in an opening letter, notes: “Climate change is real, and it deserves attention.”
Here are a few noncontroversial findings from the report—based on peer-reviewed literature from recent years—that might surprise Times readers.
- Global warming has risks, but also benefits, including greater agricultural productivity.
- We still don’t know the extent to which human activity plays a role in warming, given natural variability, data limitations, uncertain models and fluctuations in solar activity.
- Models predicting what is to come remain all over the map.
- U.S. historical data doesn’t support claims of increased frequency or intensity of extreme weather.
- Climate change is likely to have little effect on economic growth.
- U.S. climate policies, even drastic ones, will have negligible effect on global temperatures.
This is the honest, modest assessment of the state of climate science today...

Liberal media is dead silent about the damning revelations in the declassified Durham annex | Blaze Media:
Grassley told Fox News shortly after publishing the annex that it's "evidence of the great depth that the deep state will go to to cover up weaponization that was going on in the FBI and the executive branch of government generally under the Obama administration."
"We know that ... the Steele dossier, paid for by the Democrats and the Clinton campaign — that it was all an effort of total distraction and to make it look like Russia was playing a very major role in helping Trump to be elected, and now we know none of that was true," Grassley added. "Now with this Durham report annex out, it finally proves that the FBI was covering up."

Democrats REFUSED to admit NYC shooter's race | Blaze Media:
A married NYPD police officer and three civilians were shot and killed by a gunman who stormed the NFL headquarters in NYC early Monday evening, before he turned the gun on himself.
Video footage captured Las Vegas resident Shane Tamura carrying a rifle on the NYC street. The footage also happened to capture the color of his skin, which revealed that he was likely black. Now, Tamura is confirmed to be black, but Democrats and the mainstream media had initially been having a really hard time admitting it.

The Ongoing Fiction of Cheap Wind and Solar - Vijay Jayaraj
Those claiming that wind and solar energy are cheaper than fossil fuels should be writing scripts for science fiction dramas.
- The metric used to perpetuate the wind and solar fantasy is the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), a deeply flawed tool that masks the real costs of these energy sources whose ability to perform is subject to the weather and time of day.
- Designed to deceive, LCOE creates a mirage that has seduced many a foolhardy policymaker...
- By ignoring critical factors like reliability, infrastructure and subsidies, LCOE paints a deceptively rosy picture, leaving consumers footing a far higher bill than advertised.
- LCOE treats all electricity as equal. A kilowatt-hour produced at 2 a.m. is valued the same as one at 9 a.m., even though demand and value are vastly different at these times. In real life, electricity at peak demand is far more valuable than off-peak power...

BlazeTV's 'The Coverup' reveals how the corporate media became 'proxies for the national security apparatus' | Blaze Media:
Kibbe credited the Twitter Files for revealing that a nonprofit organization had been "groom[ing] reporters to sing from the same song sheet and suppress stories before they even happened."
Taibbi stated that a group of the country's most prominent national security reporters were invited in 2016 to "war game what would happen if a story about Hunter Biden and Burisma and a laptop came out."
"This was months before the story came out," Taibbi said,
