Arguably, not a single life has been or will be saved by this shameful and colossal misallocation of human resources.
The war on safe and abundant fossil fuels has cost countless lives in poor countries and made those countries poorer by blocking affordable energy.
Since the global warming crusade started some 30 years ago, the temperature of the planet has not been altered by one-tenth of a degree -- as even the alarmists will admit. In other words, $16 trillion has been spent -- a lot of people got very, very rich off the government largesse -- but there is not a penny of measurable payoff...
“New York is really a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront: Blue cities are out of control — promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day,” Zakaria said during his “Fareed’s Take” editorial segment.
Indeed, Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City has already announced a $127 billion budget. To pay for municipal spending, both past and future, the mayor wants an increase in property taxes.
It’s secured access to a breakthrough semiconductor technology that will power the next generation of American military systems.

Meanwhile, Trump policies, such as the Big Beautiful tax bill, are increasing take-home pay, while deregulation has saved the economy more than $1 trillion in deadweight costs.

Evidence now shows that Clinton's campaign had informed a number of people, including Barack Obama, then the occupant of the White house, that she intended to try to link Trump to Russia to distract American voters from the scandal over her decision to put government secrets on an unsecure email server in her home.
And Trump noticed. ...But nothing cut deeper than one specific challenge he laid down for every lawmaker in that room.
"One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe," Trump said. "So, tonight, I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."
Republicans exploded. They stood, clapped, and whistled for a solid two minutes... Democrats didn't move. Not a shuffle. Not a courtesy clap. Nothing.

Then he turned the knife.

One of the ugliest phenomena of our era comes down to Democrats weaponizing the mentally unstable.
Liberal women — confused, self-loathing, and by their own admission mentally ill to a disproportionate degree — have inverted morality itself in their hellish quest to protect criminal illegal aliens from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
In a video posted Feb. 13 to the social media platform X, a woman identified as Olivia Jensen expressed total indifference toward the victims of an illegal alien rapist and murderer.
