Swedish teen environmental activist Greta Thunberg says President Biden isn’t doing enough to “treat the climate crisis like a crisis,” accusing him of being “not nearly enough in line with the science” on the issue. The 18-year-old Thunberg — known for holding world leaders’ feet to the fire on their environmental policies — was asked during an appearance on MSNBC Sunday night to grade Biden, whom she endorsed, on how his administration is handling climate change.​ “​Well, you shouldn’t take that from me, I’m just a teenager, so I’m not — I don’t have the mandate to sort of give...

This pillow fight has gotten even more serious. Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has stepped down from his gun control advocacy group in the wake of his public spat with conservative MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. Hogg, 20, announced on Twitter on Thursday that he is taking a leave of absence from his position as board member for MarchForOurLives. “I’m going to take the time to focus on school, my passions, and my overall well being,” he said in a separate tweet. Hogg went on to allude to his public confrontation with Lindell last week, when he said he’ll take the...

Last week I told you about former teen and current gun-grabber David Hogg starting his own pillow company to take down My Pillow founder Mike Lindell. You can almost see the cartoon thought-balloon over Hogg’s adorable little head: “Hey, if a crazy crackhead can become a multimillionaire by making pillows, how tough can it be?” Unfortunately, young Mr. Hogg is quickly discovering exactly how tough it can be. And thanks to the modern miracle of Twitter, we can watch him sink into a pit of disillusioned despair in real-time.

The toolkit that was tweeted and then deleted by environmental activist Greta Thunberg, 18, to garner support for the ongoing farmers’ protest was allegedly “fed to her” as part of a “larger conspiracy to create disharmony”, sources in the security establishment told ThePrint. According to sources, Canada-based organisation Poetic Justice Foundation (PJF) played a “vital role” in “starting a global campaign”, with backing from “political leaders and activists based out of Canada”. The people that are on the radar of Indian agencies include Mo Dhaliwal, founder of the PJF and director of a PR firm named Skyrocket, Marina Patterson, who...

David Hogg tweeted on Thursday that he and software developer William LeGate are launching a pillow company to compete against MyPillow. Hogg wrote that he and LeGate hope to “sell $1 million of product within our first year” and to launch in six months.

Greta Thunberg accidentally shared a message showing she was getting told what to write on Twitter about the ongoing violent farmers’ revolt in India — leading Thursday to her being probed for criminal conspiracy by police there, according to reports. The 18-year-old left-wing eco-activist shared — and then quickly deleted — a message that detailed a list of “suggested posts” about the ongoing protests, according to the posts that were saved by Breaking 911. The list gave a series of tips on what to post, asking her to also repost and tag other celebrities tweeting about it, including pop star...

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg drew the ire of police prosecutors in India on Thursday after she used social media to offer running commentary and advice on violent protests by the country’s farmers. The 18-year-old left-wing eco-activist shared — and then quickly deleted — a message that detailed a list of “suggested posts” about the ongoing civil disorder, according to a report in the NY Post, which her critics say reveals she is being coached on what position to take by outsiders.

Marjorie Green confronts David Hogg Anti-gun activist David Hogg hit back at freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a CNN interview this week and accused the congresswoman of asking him “triggering questions” during a 2019 confrontation, video of which has only recently been covered by the mainstream media. “I remember thinking… I’m just going to keep a straight face and practice my mindfulness meditation that I have often done to cope with my PTSD and my ADHD as well. They’re clearly trying to get a rise out of me by asking incredibly triggering questions, saying the name of my shooter...

Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg on Thursday spoke with CNN’s “New Day” after video surfaced of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), before being in office, grilling Hogg over his gun control activism. Hogg questioned why “corrupted” elected officials would rather protect guns than children. He then said it is “ridiculous” that “it’s on the survivors of gun violence to stand up to gun violence.”

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg said Friday on MSNBC that the Green New Deal introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is “very far from being enough” action on climate. Thunberg said, “How can we expect people will want climate action? How can we expect people to support any kind of action when the general public welcome awareness is so low when it comes to the climate. We have not been made aware of what is happening because the climate crisis has never once has been treated as a crisis. So how can we expect a to happen when we aren’t...

Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg took a parting shot Wednesday at former President Donald Trump, saying he “seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.” Thunberg tweeted the jab to parody Trump’s 2019 comments about her: “she seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.”

Observers were shocked at a now viral video that shows environmental activist Greta Thunberg being unable to answer a basic question without a script. Thunberg has been lauded by the media establishment for her thunderous speeches denouncing world leaders who don’t take climate change seriously enough. However, when the teenage campaigner was asked a question on that very subject, her response, or lack thereof, was remarkable. “Could you please tell us what kind of message what you are doing here today – what kind of message would you send by doing this to world leaders and also can I ask...

Teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. “I never engage in party politics. But the upcoming US elections is above and beyond all that,” Thunberg tweeted. “From a climate perspective it’s very far from enough and many of you of course supported other candidates. But, I mean…you know…damn! Just get organized and get everyone to vote #Biden”

“But over these last two years, the world has also emitted over 80bn tonnes of CO2. We have seen continuous natural disasters taking place across the globe. Many lives and livelihoods have been lost, and this is only the very beginning.” They said leaders were speaking of an “existential crisis”, yet “when it comes to action, we are still in a state of denial. The gap between what we need to do and what’s actually being done is widening by the minute. Effectively, we have lost another two crucial years to political inaction.”

Natalie Maines, lead singer for the Chicks — formerly known as the “The Dixie Chicks,” says she would have a “love fest” today with former president George W. Bush because President Donald Trump makes her rethink her feelings about Bush. “You know, I joke that today, I might actually make out with George Bush,” laughed Maines on Tuesday in a virtual interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “Does the current president make you rethink, at all, your feelings for George W. Bush?” asked Cohen.

An exasperated Greta Thunberg has scolded “presidents, prime ministers, kings and princesses” she claims only want to burnish their image by being photographed in her presence. As part of a new series about her campaigning made for Swedish radio during the coronavirus lockdown, Thunberg revealed the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, had waited to have a “selfie” with the teenager at a U.N. climate gathering in New York. It was in the U.N. she delivered her “how dare you” speech. “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words”, she told the gathered world leaders. On the radio...
