Excellent analysis!-----New York Times Fact-Checker Needs a Fact-Check
On Chinese windmills and food prices, Trump is right, Times is wrong - Ira StollThe New York Times employs a "fact-check" reporter, Linda Qiu, who the paper uses to fact-check President Trump but not New York City's truth-stretching Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Qiu's latest article tackles Trump's big speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Qiu's latest article tackles Trump's big speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
It manages to mangle both what Trump actually said and what the truth is.
As for Trump's basic point that China gets most of its energy from coal, not wind, even if you rely on China's own unreliable data, the International Energy Agency lists coal and coal products as 71 percent of China's energy production, and solar, wind, and other renewables combined at 5.4 percent...
- The Times fact-check says Trump "made a host of other inaccurate claims that The New York Times has previously fact-checked," among them, "He falsely claimed that China had no wind farms. (China has more wind farms and wind power capacity than any other country.)"
- China makes almost all of the windmills, and yet, I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China. Did you ever think of that? That's a good way of looking at it. They're smart. China's very smart. They make them. They sell them for a fortune. They sell them to the stupid people that buy them, but they don't use them themselves.

Ah, predictions of doom-----Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past - from 3/2000
Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives. - Charles Onians - Monday, 20 March 2000
Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of Britain's culture, as warmer winters - which scientists are attributing to global climate change - produce not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries.
- The first two months of 2000 were virtually free of significant snowfall in much of lowland Britain, and December brought only moderate snowfall in the South-east.
- It is the continuation of a trend that has been increasingly visible in the past 15 years...
FCC Puts Jimmy Kimmel and 'The View' on Notice in Warning to Shows 'Motivated by Partisan Purposes'
FCC Puts Jimmy Kimmel and 'The View' on Notice in Warning to Shows 'Motivated by Partisan Purposes':
Under federal law, broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) are to operate in the “public interest, convenience and necessity,” ABC News reported. Cable news networks, such as Fox News or CNN, are not subject to that law.
Some people had questions when the male nurse committed "suicide by cop" in Minneapolis...
Not all the videos were out yet, it was hard to see, hard to tell. - John F. Di LeoNow enough videos are out.
They've been analyzed.
There is no longer any question.
The jackass had drawn his weapon on the police (or it looked to them like he had).
The jackass had drawn his weapon on the police (or it looked to them like he had).
They had to shoot.
That's how it works.
- A: If you're a peaceful protester, you don't bring a $1500 semiautomatic pistol with laser sights that holds twenty rounds, plus two spare magazines, with you into a protest. These two things don't go together.
- B: If you aren't there with intent to start a fight with law enforcement, you stay back on the sidewalk with your little picket signs or your little banners. You don't rush up to other people, push and shove people into cars, and get in the faces of LEOs with the intention of provoking a fight. This is obvious.
- C: If you draw a gun on an LEO, that LEO has to assume you intend to pull the trigger. Everyone knows this. So when you draw on a LEO, that LEO is going to have to fire at you. He doesn't know if you're bluffing; he has to assume you're not. He doesn't know if you just intend to kill him or if you intend to kill 30 other people too. He Has To Stop You. He has no choice...

After just one day in Davos, Trump walked away with what most world leaders couldn’t secure in a lifetime of negotiations.
That’s leverage. That’s negotiation. That’s results. - Dennis Doan Jr.

'Going to get someone killed': Democratic AG shocks with talk about shooting ICE agents in 'stand your ground' Arizona | Blaze Media:
APA Executive Director Joe Clure stated that the Democrat's framing was "deeply troubling and dangerous" especially as "law enforcement officers at every level including state, local, and federal agencies do not always wear traditional uniforms" — including members of Mayes' own investigative teams.
"This does not diminish their legal authority or status as law enforcement," said Clure. "Publicly speculating about how someone might legally justify shooting an ICE agent sends a dangerous and irresponsible message, particularly in an already tense and polarized environment."
