But Glenn Beck says the only state of emergency that needs to be declared right now is what's going on with our out-of-control federal government and president. "When you have a president saying he is going to issue an emergency order and declare a national emergency on climate, of all things, you're about to lose your republic," Glenn said on the radio program.

Academia Neglects Its Most Important Function: A Free Marketplace of Ideas - American Thinker

Academia Neglects Its Most Important Function: A Free Marketplace of Ideas - American Thinker By Clarice Feldman

"If you have been paying any attention at all to academia in this country, you know it has entered a dark age...
Today’s academic “marketplace” increasingly sells only one product, drives others from the agora with a variety of bullying actions, and threatens both the sellers and purchasers into silence about alternate products.
Here’s an eye-opener to illustrate the extent of the assault on free speech and free thought.

We are entering a future where blacklisting, censorship, and the abuse of power will become the norm, because apparently the new generation thinks such things are always justified, if they have been offended in any way. From a recent poll of 2,000 students at 130 colleges: In one eye-opening finding, 74 percent of undergrads endorse the view that a professor who says “something that students find offensive” should be reported to the university. By a majority almost as lopsided, 65 percent believe that a fellow student who says something they consider offensive should be turned in. That informers’ mindset is especially pronounced among students who identify themselves as politically liberal, fully 85 percent of whom would report a professor...

The consequences of this are far reaching.

Cori Bush Won't Respond on Biden Running for Reelection - Louder With Crowder

Cori Bush Won't Respond on Biden Running for Reelection - Louder With Crowder: Everyone hates Joe Biden, and no one wants him to run for reelection. Well, that's not true. Content creators want Biden to run for reelection. I could go for two more years of Ol' Puddinghead falling apart before our very eyes until Ron DeSantis' inauguration. But members of Biden's own party? They'd leave Biden on a park bench somewhere with a snack and a note pinned to his sweater. If I could give our adversaries some free advice: practice and rehearse your response when asked. Don't be Rep. Cori Bush. This is an all-time worst response to a political question.

Shark Attacks and Climate Change

  • Contrary to NBC Nightly News, there is no scientific basis for the claim that climate change is causing shark attacks.

...A 2019 paper in the journal PLoS One measured shark attacks per million people in the nations with the most shark attacks and found that “the majority of countries saw no perceptible trend or change” since 1960https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0211049...

America's Gestapo?------FBI Targets Enemies Foreign And Domestic - by Mark Wauck

FBI Targets Enemies Foreign And Domestic
  • The FBI is in the news these days. 
  • They’re targeting enemies of our country, starting with domestic “terrorists.” 
Jim Jordan is on that case, and he sent a letter to Chris Wray demanding all sorts of information, based on whistleblower reports that the FBI is inflating...domestic “terrorism” numbers.. 
  • Here’s the substance of the letter:
Dear Director Wray:
We continue to hear from brave whistleblowers about disturbing conduct at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 
From recent protected disclosures, we have learned that FBI officials are pressuring agents to reclassify cases as “domestic violent extremism” even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification. Given the narrative pushed by the Biden Administration that domestic violent extremism is the “greatest threat” facing our country, the revelation that the FBI may be artificially padding domestic terrorism data is scandalous.
Anyone who has worked for the federal government knows exactly how this works. 
Nothing could be less surprising than that the FBI should be seeking to please its masters by manipulating data of this sort..."

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (July 27, 2022) – A new study, Corrupted Climate Stations: The Official U.S. Surface Temperature Record Remains Fatally Flawed, finds approximately 96 percent of U.S. temperature stations used to measure climate change fail to meet what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) considers to be “acceptable” and uncorrupted placement by its own published standards...

Di Leo: Eight Critical Steps to Restore the Republic - Illinois Review

Di Leo: Eight Critical Steps to Restore the Republic - Illinois Review  By John F. Di Leo - 

"...Even so, it’s not too soon to talk about what the next GOP Congress needs to do.  And this time, some of the absolute musts are unusual.

First, a few ground rules: 1. Republican legislators have a tendency to say “if we don’t hold the executive branch, there’s no point wasting our time on things that won’t get signed.”  Wrong...

2. There are tons of issues that Republicans shy away from.  Cold fear of being called “racist, sexist, anti-gay,” and a hundred other insults has terrified Republicans to the point that they won’t say a word about the crippling welfare state, our emasculated military, the insolvency of Social Security, and perhaps a hundred other subjects.  We simply cannot afford such fears anymore.  

For decades, Republican squeamishness has given the Democrats carte blanche to use those very issues to undermine not only the United States, but Western Civilization itself. Stand up or go home..."

Democrats Admit Defeat: Amnesty for Illegal Aliens Not in Budget Package

Senate Democrats are admitting defeat in their efforts to slip an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens into an upcoming budget reconciliation package.

While Senate Democrats and Republicans are currently negotiating a reconciliation package — a filibuster-proof budget that only needs majority support to pass — Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) admitted that amnesty for illegal aliens will not make it into the final deal.
