CNN correspondent Bill Weir suggested that the Biden administration mobilize the military to produce electric vehicles and claimed “life on Earth was at stake” due to climate change on CNN Tuesday. Weir expressed frustration that the filibuster was preventing Congress from passing legislation and that President Joe Biden was limited in his ability to tackle climate change during his appearance on CNN. He suggested the nationalization of industries as one method to mitigate the issue. “This is hung up on an old fashioned filibuster, sort of recent made up American rules when the fate of life on Earth is at...

Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra on Monday issued a grave warning if the U.S. Supreme Court were to strike down the Biden administration’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) mandate on COVID-19 vaccination for employers with 100 or more employees. The court began hearing oral arguments on two separate legal challenges this week. Becerra told “CNN Newsroom” that “people will die” if the mandate gets struck down. He added that would be on the justices’ “conscience.” “[H]opefully the plan is that the Supreme Court will recognize that the federal government, the Biden administration has the authority to require these...

Members of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) slammed Secretary of State Antony Blinken for inviting a pro-Critical Race Theory (CRT) United Nations envoy to investigate human rights abuses in America, Breitbart News learned Monday. In a bid to combat what Blinken describes as U.S. failures at home, the secretary extended unrequested invitations last Tuesday to two U.N. experts, one on racism and the other on minority issues, to make an official U.S. visit and scrutinize America’s human rights record. The State Department added that the Biden administration would issue a standing invitation to all U.N. envoys, known as special rapporteurs,...

A Minneapolis-based restaurant is now charging customers a 15 percent "equity charge" on all guest checks. The reason for this new charge? Customers are too racist and too sexist to be trusted with tipping properly. The restaurant, Broders' Pasta Bar, published an entire page on their website explaining the new policy titled "WHAT IS THE BENEFITS & EQUITY CHARGE?" "2020 was a time of introspection for us as it was for so many of our neighbors. In response to the racial injustice protests throughout our community and the (many) closures we experienced because of COVID, we spent some time reimagining...

Things are changing in America and you either go with the flow or get left behind. Exxon Mobile Corporation had a board election yesterday and at least two “rebels” were elected. These rebels aren’t members of the downtrodden masses. They were put forward by a hedge fund, Engine 1, in an effort to force Exxon to address climate change. By the end of the day, Exxon had been shaken to its foundation — a foundation laid by John D. Rockefeller in the 19th century. Exxon CEO Darren Woods’ days may be numbered. Woods made the proxy fight the most expensive...

Left-wing Hollywood star Susan Sarandon has declared her support for the Palestinian people while accusing Israel’s Netanyahu administration of practicing “apartheid.” Susan Sarandon tweeted her political declaration Wednesday, adding her support for supermodel Bella Hadid, who has also publicly accused Israel of “apartheid” and participated in pro-Palestinian protests. “I stand with the Palestinian People fighting against the apartheid government of Netanyahu and pray for the Israeli people that they too, will enjoy peace,” Sarandon tweeted. “I also support @bellahadid for having the bravery to stand in solidarity with her people. That can be lonely.”

Some 90% of all U.S. wells are now hydraulically fractured. Fracked wells in shale formations open up vast supplies of oil, natural gas and petroleum liquids that previously were locked up and inaccessible. Fracking conventional wells expands and prolongs production, leaving less energy in the ground. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, AOC, the Democrat Party and U.S. environmentalists are determined to make climate change, the Green New Deal, and replacing fossil fuels with wind, solar, battery and biofuel power the centerpiece of their foreign and domestic policies. They would ban fracking outright – or price and restrict it out of existence...

Rapper Cardi B was reportedly hit with a defamation lawsuit after she allegedly shared “edited” video of an altercation with people on a Long Island beach. The beachgoers are suing Cardi B, the rapper’s sister, Hennessy Carolina, and Michelle Diaz for assault, battery, defamation, and civil rights violations from an alleged altercation that occurred Sept. 6, according to an article published by ABC 7. “These peaceful Suffolk County residents were quietly enjoying a Sunday at the Smith Point beach with their families, when rap celebrity Hennessy Carolina suddenly approached them, raging, spitting, insulting, assaulting, defaming and threatening them, all the...

A woman dining outdoors who was harassed by protesters in Washington, D.C., wrote an op-ed saying she didn’t like being bullied for not raising her first, but that she still supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Lauren Victor, a photographer and urban planner, has since taken part in Black Lives Matter demonstrations since the incident, according to an opinion piece she wrote for The Washington Post on Friday. “I wholeheartedly support the Black Lives Matter movement,” Victor wrote. “I also support an individual’s choice to participate in a protest, or not.” “In retrospect, I would have done the same thing...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), the progressives' ultimate icon, on Tuesday made the ridiculous suggestion that police officers should be banned from using tear gas, pepper spray or rubber bullets as a means of quelling riots. His proclamation comes as violent riots are taking place in Kenosha, Wisconsin after Jacob Blake, a black man, was shot seven times by police officers. Rioters have burned down businesses, looted others and even beat an elderly man for attempting to defend his business. One rioter pulled a gun on a reporter simply doing his job. The right-wing extremist group known as the Boogaloos shot...

Before you make fun of conservative social media personalities, dear liberals, I urge you to consider the plight of Cher. Prior to Cher launching into her latest strange Twitter meltdown, we were told the United States Postal Service was in trouble. It wasn't supposed to be able to handle the massive influx of mail it was set to receive if there were to be widespread mail-in voting for November's election. And now, liberals want the Postal Service to be bailed out because otherwise, how will we be able to cast our ballots this fall? many opportunities for employment at the...

Those of you who watched the unhinged and unfunny performance of Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the final night of the DNC probably caught the “clever” routine she delivered with Andrew Yang. The two of them took turns mispronouncing Vice President Mike Pence’s surname as some sort of takedown on the fact that he had previously mispronounced the first name of his opponent in the upcoming election, Senator Kamala Harris. While that got a few laughs from the liberal audience, some critics chose to read a lot more into the issue of Harris’ name, its origins, and how everyone is supposed to...

The video game industry is taking racism VERY seriously, especially game developers like Infinity Ward, who have removed the “OK” hand gesture from Call of Duty’s in-game animations because of its associations with “white supremacy.” Over the weekend, video game and media outlet Gamespot reported that Infinity Ward, game developer behind the mega-popular “Call of Duty” franchise, had announced that they would be removing the “OK” sign from its latest game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Even though the gesture has been used by humans for decades to indicate that things are good or, in effect, “A-OK,” the developer claimed...

Researchers at Australian National University (ANU) have called for ‘climate change’ to be recorded as a cause of death on death certificates. They claim that in Australia, the rate of people dying as a result of global warming may be 50 times higher than is officially acknowledged. In a letter to The Lancet Planetary Health, researchers Arnagretta Hunter and Simon Quilty claim the impact of climate change is currently understated. “Climate change is the single greatest health threat that we face globally even after we recover from coronavirus. “We are successfully tracking deaths from coronavirus, but we also need healthcare...

Barrack Obama gave a virtual commencement speech on Saturday in which the former president criticized the Trump administration's leadership amid the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Obama addressed over 27,000 students at 78 historically black colleges and universities. The former president couldn't fill the graduation speech up with just "hope and change," so graduates had to suffer through partisan attacks. Obama told the graduates their "timing is not ideal" before lamenting the "inequalities and extra burdens" blacks currently face, such as the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus on black communities and the recent shooting of Ahmaud Arbery. Not exactly the most inspiring...

Last week he defended the “reopen now” push by analogizing to war: “We sent our young men during World War II over to Europe, out to the Pacific, knowing, knowing that many of them would not come home alive. And we decided to make that sacrifice because what we were standing up for was the American way of life. In the very same way now, we have to stand up for the American way of life.” Whoopi decided to engage with him on those terms when he turned up as a guest today on “The View” by asking him to...

Appearing on Friday’s edition of Real Time, the always hyperbolic MSNBC talking head Donny Deutsch referred to Donald Trump as an “all-out dictator” and warned that “whatever the worst tyrants in history were capable of doing, he is capable of doing.” Host Bill Maher also subscribed to the “Trump is a dictator” narrative, arguing that he checked off more items on the “dictator checklist” over the past week and worrying that eventually, the only people remaining in the Trump administration will be “the Goebbels,” comparing the President’s closest advisors to Hitler’s propaganda minister. As he introduced his panel, Maher noted...
