Rick Perry: We can't let climate alarmists drive us from reality

Congressman Byron Donalds on Twitter: "Unlike the DEMs, who do leadership by acclamation, the GOP is having a deliberative process of what leadership looks like in the House. We know DC does not work. Having a deliberative discussion(it is messy at times) but in the long term, is in the nation's best interests. https://t.co/1DTv36IXhr" / Twitter

Months after telling Republicans to 'head down to Florida where you belong,' New York Governor Hochul says the state has to figure out how to stop people from leaving - TheBlaze

Months after telling Republicans to 'head down to Florida where you belong,' New York Governor Hochul says the state has to figure out how to stop people from leaving - TheBlaze: 

Her words were a far cry from her campaign rhetoric back in August where she suggested that her political opponents, including Rep. Lee Zeldin, should "Just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK? You are not New Yorkers." Many people over the last months and years have taken exactly this advice, fleeing New York's oppressive, anti-business climate and crime rates for the greener pastures of Florida and other states. According to the Census Bureau, New York had the highest population decline of any state in the union in 2022, while Florida had the highest rate of population growth.

ASU Wokes Itself in the Foot with 'Black Male Privilege'

"I have, on several occasions, warned the younger, woke, angry generation that one day, the machine would come for them.

And lo and behold, it has. 

• Because intersectionality works best with a complicated field of eligible candidates with a broad range of grievances, it must also have a steady diet of people to find guilty of the insult du jour. 
• And black men are now on the list of potential offenders.

Arizona State University has issued a checklist dealing with Black Male Privilege...

Questioning eco-doomers=Holocaust denial?!!-----HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM 60 MINUTES!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM 60 MINUTES!

Paul Ehrlich Is Always Wrong. “0% of the time, he’s right every time,” Jim Treacher writes:

When a 90-year-old man says there are too many people on the planet, you’re allowed to ask why he’s still sticking around...

Should Pelley offer a second opinion to counterbalance Ehrlich’s eco-doomsaying? Let’s ask him! In January 2007, Pelley “was asked why he refused to include global warming skeptics in his reporting. 

He responded, ‘If I do an interview with [Holocaust survivor] Elie Wiesel, am I required as a journalist to find a Holocaust denier?’”--Posted by Ed Driscoll at 2:22 pm

New California law just went into effect that makes about 10% of big rigs illegal to operate in the state - TheBlaze

New California law just went into effect that makes about 10% of big rigs illegal to operate in the state - TheBlaze: 

The rule states that, as of Jan. 1, 2023, any vehicle weighing at least 14,000 pounds operating in the state must not have an engine that was manufactured prior to 2010. The board's justification for requiring engines that had not even been built yet at the time the regulation was passed was based on the theory that future engines would do a better job of reducing emissions. "When we passed the regulations in 2008, it was to reduce community exposure of toxic air contaminants, it is 100% to protect public health," a spokesman for the Air Resources Board told KCRA-TV.
