Climate Change in the Recent Past: A Scientific Exploration | Elan Ness-Cohn
The Earth’s climate naturally experiences changes in temperature over time due to minor changes in the Earth’s orbit. - Elan Ness-Cohn | Nov 14, 2019 
Through this post I will attempt to answer the following questions:
- How Does Our Climate Today Fit into The Context of the Past Million Years?
- How is the Climate Changing Now in Ways That Are Unlike What Happened in the Past Million Years?
- What Can We Do Today to Work Toward Mitigating the Effects of Climate Change in the Future?
- The Earth’s climate naturally experiences changes in temperature over time due to minor changes in the Earth’s orbit.
- These orbital changes are subtle and initiate climate change via amplifying feedback loops that contribute to a 5-6°C temperature change that operate on a time scale of 100,000 years...
DEI-obsessed Coast Guard commandant fired on Trump's first day | Blaze Media
DEI-obsessed Coast Guard commandant fired on Trump's first day | Blaze Media:
Leftist outlets and politicians have since bewailed the firing of Fagan, the first female leader of a military service. The Hill seemed irked that the Trump administration offered "no explanation" for the move while Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.) called it an "abuse of power," even though the commandant of the Coast Guard serves at the pleasure of the president.
Aside from the fact that the president does not need to justify firing her, Fagan apparently failed miserably to do the job.
The accusations against Fagan listed in the Fox News report are manifold:

In a video posted to X after Trudeau's resignation on Monday, Poilievre painted his Conservative Party as the "common sense" antidote to Canada's recent woes.

Watch: Asylum-Seeking Migrant Stunned as Trump Border Policies Go Into Effect the Minute He's Sworn In
Watch: Asylum-Seeking Migrant Stunned as Trump Border Policies Go Into Effect the Minute He's Sworn In:
The sound of a door slamming shut was heard across America’s southern border Monday.
An Instagram post broke the bad news to illegal immigrants who used an app to schedule appointments where they could seek asylum.
“Effective January 20, 2025 at 12:00pm Eastern Time, the functionalities of CBP One™ that previously allowed undocumented aliens to submit advance information and schedule appointments at eight southwest border ports of entry is no longer available. All appointments have been cancelled,” the post said. Trump officially took office at noon.
Bad Education: New York Spends BILLIONS on Public Schools for Results Like THIS
If we just spent more money on public education, we'd increase test scores and kids would be able to read and do math. - Amy Curtis 
Or, at least that's what the Left says. 'Properly funded' public education is the solution to all our problems.
Because in New York, the state spends $89 billion on schools.
$89 BILLION.
The New York Post reports:
- Except, what defines 'properly funded'?

Worth reading!!-----Pardon Me About Birthright Citizenship
...let’s chat about some of the legal aspects of what’s happening and what’s going to happen because there are a lot of bad legal takes out there - Kurt Schlichter 
In the giddy hangover of our tumultuous celebration of American liberation, let’s chat about some of the legal aspects of what’s happening and what’s going to happen because there are a lot of bad legal takes out there (follow the essential Twitter account of the same name), and you don’t want to be repeating the same kind of nonsense that other people do.
Let’s be clear about something.
- I’m not telling you what I think the law should be.
- I’m telling you how the law actually is.
And then I’ll give my opinion, which might be wrong...

Trump terminates Biden's CBP One app, marking a strong start to illegal immigration crackdown | Blaze Media:
"Creating programs to allow thousands of people in this country a week that we don't properly vet and that we know don't qualify is not the answer," he stated.
Immediately following Trump's inauguration on Monday afternoon, the CBP website released an update regarding its mobile app.
The alert read, "Effective January 20, 2025, the functionalities of CBP One™ that previously allowed undocumented aliens to submit advance information and schedule appointments at eight southwest border ports of entry is no longer available, and existing appointments have been cancelled."
It’s been a while since I reported on my observations on behavior of Arab circles behind closed doors, the ones I’m socially part of.
Schism is now enormous between the majority of Lebanese and Syrians, on one hand, and Palestinians, on the other. - Clarice Feldman -Hussain Abdul-Hussain@hahussain 
The two sides see their interests as divergent as ever.
- To Lebanese and Syrians, their interests is in disbanding of militias, restoration of sovereign and functional governments, dissociation from endless Palestinian wars, and focusing on their own problems. By crushing Hezbollah, Israel has helped the Lebanese and the Syrians, who are thankful but would never say it in public.
- Palestinians, on the other hand, are angry at Lebanese and Syrians for cheering for the end of Hezbollah and militias, want the fight to go on...

"We’re going to stop the invasion of our borders," said Trump, adding, "The border security measures I will outline in my inaugural address tomorrow will be the most aggressive sweeping effort to restore our borders the world has ever seen."

Hmmm. WSJ doesn't like 'em. Maybe there's more to the story?-----A modest defense of tariffs - by Glenn K Beaton
From publications like The Wall Street Journal, you might conclude that tariffs as an economics practice is in the same category as piracy, slavery and child labor, but worse. - Glenn K Beaton
- In the spirit of Protestantism and economics contrarianism, let me offer a defense of this much-maligned practice.
At the outset, I’ll stipulate to some things.
First, it’s true that tariffs are much like a sales tax.
First, it’s true that tariffs are much like a sales tax.
Adding a tariff to imported goods tends to raise the price of those goods, just as we saw a few years ago that adding a sales tax on Amazon goods adds to the check-out price of those goods.
If the U.S. government slaps a 10% tariff on, for example, imported steel, it’s logical to expect the price of imported steel to the U.S. consumer to rise about 10%.
If the U.S. government slaps a 10% tariff on, for example, imported steel, it’s logical to expect the price of imported steel to the U.S. consumer to rise about 10%.
- But that’s not always the case, because, while tariffs are much like sales taxes, they aren’t exactly the same.
- A tariff applies not to all goods, but to specific goods – ones that are imported from overseas and specifically designated for the tariff...
They guarantee "devastation" is near, why won't they prepare us?-----Are the LA Fires Due to ‘Climate Change’?
The post looks at the climate of LA (not the global climate) and shows that climate had very little to do with the LA fires specifically (much like the Maui situation) - Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming - Ronald Davison 
Human preparation was below standard, which is strange given that the All CO2, All the Time alarmist narrative has been predicting (rightly or wrongly) this scenario for a long time.
California (a leader in the green policy directives) should have been better prepared.
- The primary indicators of climate change that apply directly to the Los Angeles area are temperature, precipitation, sea levels, and fire.
- None of these parameters have shown significant long-term change over the last century...
- Temperatures in the 1880s, and 1930s were just as high as the recent (pre-2015) temperatures.
Meet the HSPs: 'Snowflakes' with an official diagnosis | Blaze Media
Meet the HSPs: 'Snowflakes' with an official diagnosis | Blaze Media:
Resilience isn’t forged through constant coddling or endless validation. It emerges through adversity. Childhood should be a testing ground where emotional depth is acknowledged but shaped by challenges that demand planning and perseverance. After all, failure is life’s toughest, and perhaps most valuable, teacher.
And failure is merciless.
But we’ve built a culture that shields children from failure at all costs. Participation trophies, helicopter parenting, and zero-tolerance policies for even the mildest discomfort have created a generation ill equipped to handle life’s inevitable harshness. The world doesn’t bend to anyone’s emotional needs.
But try telling this to the HSP standing next to you.
Imagine media "outrage" if "red hats" had done same when a democrat won!-----Protesters bring guillotine to DC for Trump inauguration
Liberal protesters gathered around Washington, D.C., to express their disapproval of President Donald Trump's inauguration Monday.The phrase "come get sum" was painted on the crafted 20-foot-tall structure. Meanwhile, other protesters flanked it, one dressed as an executioner with their face covered, another holding a rainbow flag, and another with a sign that read, "The revolution is now."
The protesters followed a call from the Answer Coalition, which held several events on Inauguration Day that it referred to as the "National Day of Action."...

"The Trump victory in the 2024 election represents the complete failure of the Democratic Party to stop the rise of the ultra-right. In fact, they have contributed to it by adopting much of the program of the extreme right while embracing endless war. Instead of responding to the needs of the people, both the Democrats and the Republicans have moved further and further to the right," says Answer Coalition's website...
