The Earth is burning, coastlines will be submerged, our grandchildren will never see snow and on and on. The dire predictions of the climate alarmists never end. But as Ronald Reagan said, "Fact's don't lie." So, here's data from Electroverse putting a fine point on another myth killing fact regarding annual snowfall in the Northern Hemisphere. It's good stuff.…

TOP RUSSIAN SPACE SCIENTIST: “WE SHOULD FEAR A DEEP TEMPERATURE DROP, NOT GLOBAL WARMING”

“The Sun defines the climate, not carbon dioxide,” so says eminent Russian space scientist, Habibullo Abdussamatov (Dr. Sc. – Head of Space research laboratory of the Pulkovo Observatory).

Observations of the Sun show that carbon dioxide is “not guilty” for the steady increase in temperature observed over the past few…

A short clip from a meeting in Austria about arms deliveries to Ukraine - notice the military speaker's nonchalant comment about sending foreign fighters to the front - his comment about 20,000 Poles already in Ukraine is confirmation we're being led into a wider conflict.

A good tell of the ridiculous hoax we face as our delusional, global oligarchs force us to into a net zero, Orwellian hellscape is the unsustainable resource puzzle surrounding the raw materials required to build EV's - it's a joke. Here's a run down of the insurmountable requirements and what is obviously not doable.  

Visualizing net zero for EVs:

Going net zero will trigger the biggest mining boom of copper, nickel, and lithium  in history according to Professor…

I've always found Lou Dobbs to be a credible source for business news and wider political commentary. Here's another example of Lou's "cut to the chase" commentary - his take on Sarah Huckabee-Sanders rebuttal to Brandon's STOU address. The article is from The Conservative Treehouse with poignant commentary from Sundance.…

In a somewhat glowing report, Seymour Hersh details the the entire decision making and operational process surrounding the secret mission to eliminate cheap, reliable energy flowing to Germany. It paints an heroic picture of the Navy divers, the technology deployed and the resolve of the Biden regime to keep it from Congress and the American people.

I wonder how the German people and their industrial leaders will react?  The loss of the pipeline has all but demolished Germany's heavy…

Very good take on the sustainable/renewable ruse being forced upon developed countries around the world. Iain Davis via UKColumn (www.ukcolumn.org)  provides an in depth analysis (with a focus on UK/EU policies) of the falsehoods embedded in the sustainable renewable narrative.

Here's the full article:…

A highly-informative commentary on the ravages of globalism and the results of corporatism aligned with destructive government intervention in private businesses. The article spells out the assault taking place to undermine the culture of entrepreneurship and individualism that made our country thrive and prosper for decades. It's a long read, but well worth the effort. The embedded video is a must view. …

Interesting take on the 2024 race for the WH - The Club vs Trump.

Excerpt from article by Chris Hedges via ZeroHedge:

Empires in terminal decline leap from one military fiasco to the next. The war in Ukraine, another bungled attempt to reassert U.S. global hegemony, fits this pattern. The danger is that the more dire things look, the more the U.S. will escalate the conflict, potentially provoking open confrontation with Russia.

Excerpt from article in ZeroHedge:

The Biden Administration's proposed transition to "net zero" via wind and solar power is not only not easy, but is a total fantasy. It likely cannot occur at all without dramatically undermining our economy, lifestyle and security, and it certainly cannot occur at anything remotely approaching reasonable cost. At some point, the ongoing forced transition will crash and burn.

The USDA has circumvented Congressional oversight and substantially increased the SNAP food assistance program by $171 billion from 2019 to 2022. The number of participants increased by 6 million in that time.

Could any of these new participants be illegals? How could this be happening when we have 3.5% unemployment?
