Climate Narrative Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Duane Patterson
- It wasn't cooling, and it wasn't really warming up all that much, so the term 'climate change' evolved as the preferred term of art...
The melting of sea ice in the Arctic has slowed dramatically in the past 20 years, scientists have reported, with no statistically significant decline in its extent since 2005.
The finding is surprising, the researchers say, given that carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning have continued to rise and trap ever more heat over that time.
They said natural variations in ocean currents that limit ice melting had probably balanced out the continuing rise in global temperatures. However, they said this was only a temporary reprieve and melting was highly likely to start again at about double the long-term rate at some point in the next five to 10 years...
The House That Love Built: Caitlin Clark’s Parents Sold Their Home in Secret, and What They Never Told Her Will Change How You See Success
...Brent and Anne Clark held each other’s hands. Between them lay a piece of paper—a final mortgage receipt for a house they no longer owned.For six months, they had lived with a secret so profound, a sacrifice so total, that it was both their greatest gift and their heaviest burden.
- They had sold their family home, the sanctuary where their daughter Caitlin had grown from a little girl with a basketball to a national phenom, and they had never told her the real reason.
Things Democrats say:
The Democratic Party loves to cloak itself in noble rhetoric, claiming to champion the working man, free speech, traditions, democracy, diversity, and rule-following. - Michael Smith
- - We are the party of the working man.
- - We support free speech.
- - We respect traditions and norms.
- - We want to save democracy.
- - We are for diversity.
- - We follow the rules.
- Let me tell you why Democrats are none of these.
- But scratch the surface, and their actions tell a different story - one of hypocrisy, power grabs, and betrayal of the principles they profess.
Let’s unpack why their self-proclaimed virtues are little more than a mirage...

When teachers bring their politics into the classroom, this is the kind of rubbish that comes of it. - Cardinal Pritchard
- Video out of deep-blue Alachua County, Florida:
Read this BEFORE you send you children to any college!-----Perpetual Disruption
A friend who works in the finance world would routinely caution his people not to get too used to high-flying salaries, or to commit themselves to lifestyles that required them going forward, because one disruption - one "better mousetrap" invented by a competitor - could knock them all back down to earth. - Peter Venetoklis
- I saw his caution play out among other friends and acquaintances, as their big bucks jobs disappeared and they had to seek other professions as a result.
- Heck, it happened to my gaggle in the 1990s, when Reagan's defense buildup ceased and a flood of young aerospace engineers moved into a range of non-engineering professions.
Such is the way of progress.
In economics, it is called "creative destruction," and we find examples of it ranging back to the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution...

The Guardian also took note of Nigerian support for Trump.
- “Portraits of Trump have grown more common among the impressionist depictions of notable figures often sold from open stalls on the streets of Nigeria,” the outlet reports.
- “Although perceptions of Trump vary across Nigeria’s diverse cultural and religious landscape, there is a large affinity towards him, fostered years before he entered politics when his larger-than-life image as a bombastic, straight-talking, self-made billionaire made his books a hit here.”...

Wait...there's more!-----Meet Steve Descano — Democrat, Best Friend to Violent Illegals, and the Reason ICE Is So Busy - Teri Christoph
Oh, how smug and sanctimonious the terminally-online left was on Wednesday afternoon when a Washington, D.C.-based reporter posted a video of a Hispanic man being arrested by officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and federal law enforcement agencies.
- The only context given by the reporter was that the poor man just wanted to be with his family.
Everyone's favorite Democrat stooge, Jessica Tarlov, showed her commitment to willful ignorance by retweeting the video and dramatically adding, "The cruelty is always the point."
There's just one thing: the man being arrested, David Perez-Teofani, a Mexican illegal, wasn't the hard-working family man the left and Jessica Tarlov so desperately wanted him to be...Perez-Teofani had been arrested in 2024 for sexually assaulting a child under the age of 15. Not only that, he had illegally entered the U.S. three times and had ignored "a final order of removal."..

Milton Friedman understood that when we abandon voluntary cooperation for coercion—even with the best of intentions—we've already lost the moral argument.

Major U.S. chain: 'We will not open or operate retail stores in California' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
He continues, "This decision isn't about politics – it's about reality. California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It's a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers."
Ya think??!!-----Comer said the revelations cast serious doubt on who was really calling the shots inside the Biden White House...
Ian Sams, the former White House spokesperson who spent years defending Joe Biden’s mental acuity, admitted under oath that he interacted with Biden only twice during his entire tenure. - Matt Margolis
- That’s not just unusual; it’s evidence of a carefully managed operation designed to conceal Biden’s true condition from the American people.
- For years, Sams went before cameras, insisting Biden was sharp and in control while privately having no access to him whatsoever.
- If that doesn’t expose the depth of this cover-up, nothing will.
