A federal lawsuit pits green energy against saving endangered whales, as three conservative groups are suing the Biden administration to stop what they say would be the largest wind energy project in the world. The Virginia Offshore Wind project could cause significant harm to the North Atlantic right whale, according to the 61-page complaint in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia filed by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), the Heartland Institute and the National Legal and Policy Center against federal agencies as well as Dominion Energy. The lawsuit names the Interior Department, the Commerce Department, the...

According to leaked documents, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health is pushing hormonal and surgical transitions for minors. Getty Images Newly leaked files from the world’s leading transgender health-care organization reveal it is pushing hormonal and surgical transitions for minors, including stomach-wrenching experimental procedures designed to create sexless bodies that resemble department-store mannequins. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health documents demonstrate it’s controlled by gender ideologues who push aside concerns about whether children and adolescents can consent to medical treatments that WPATH members privately acknowledge often have devastating and permanent side effects. Yet the US government, American doctors...

When conducting general surveys, Mr. Rasmussen noticed that most people expressing extreme leftist views share three characteristics: (1) They are very urban, (2) they hold postgraduate university degrees, and (3) they are relatively wealthy. People meeting all these criteria make up about one percent of the general population. Anyway, Mr. Rasmussen decided to poll a national sample of these people: urbanites with post-grad degrees who had income of more than $150,000 per year. He found that their economic situations and political views are remote from those of most Americans. While most Americans have been suffering hardship during the Biden years,...

It’s well known that the U.S. Armed Forces is struggling with recruiting, typically falling short of targets by tens of thousands. It turns out that the shortfall is almost entirely among white recruits, which is likely a result of the military’s focus on rooting out white supremacy and examining the phenomenon of “white rage.”Jimmy is joined by Due Dissidence’s Russell Dobular and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger to discuss this phenomenon afflicting the U.S. military.

In a historic turn of events, a coalition of countries is joining the farmers’ protest against the green agenda, signaling a significant global resistance.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stepped back from the spotlight when she announced she would no longer be a part of the House Democrats’ formal leadership team last year, but she’s not shying away from jumping into the 2024 presidential campaign. Pelosi provided some pointed advice for longtime ally President Biden, who is seeking a second term. “I think it’s time to get out there. We’ve had our holidays — the campaigns are beginning now; this is when people will pay attention,” Pelosi said in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday. “People don’t vote for you because...

New York Mayor Eric Adams blasted city council’s “far-left agenda” after it approved two controversial bills on Wednesday banning solitary confinement for inmates in jails and forcing police officers to report every street encounter, no matter how small. The embattled mayor, a former NYPD captain, was staunchly opposed to both bills, whose passage he blamed on a “numerical minority” that is “controlling the narrative.” “This assault on public safety is just wrong,” Adams told WABC radio host John Catsimatidis on his “Cats & Cosby Show” Wednesday night.

With the new “50-in-5” program, the United Nations, the Gates Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation are attempting to get 50 countries within 5 years to go fully digital on all information. This includes payments, tracking, tracing, recording, and monitoring of every citizen. Censorship, surveillance, and a retaliation mechanism are the three primary components the elites are implementing to trap all who seek freedom in a digital prison. Once a digital ID, CBDC, and a global data-sharing network are added to their arsenal of weapons, all resistance will be easily crushed. Now is the time to prepare and set up parallel...

The climate change agenda is a hoax & it’s hurting farmers in Iowa. Here’s how: the U.S. government enacted crony subsidies to reward those who build CO₂ pipelines across the Midwest to bury CO₂ in the ground, but most farmers don’t want the pipeline on their land because there are real hazards. But the GOP Establishment in Iowa now supports eminent domain to *seize* these farmers’ land. That’s a legal farce but also dangerous: if removing CO₂ is a justification for eminent domain, the government can use the same reasoning to seize your gas stoves & combustion engines while leaving...

One Million Moms, a watchdog group protecting the innocence of children, has launched a petition condemning Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for potentially exposing “tens of millions of viewers at home to the liberal LGBTQ agenda.”.......“The non-binary and transgender extravaganza on display this Thanksgiving will be brought to you by Macy’s during their annually sponsored Thanksgiving Day Parade,” the petition begins. “Unless they are forewarned about it, this year’s holiday parade will potentially expose tens of millions of viewers at home to the liberal LGBTQ agenda.”

The White House on Wednesday took a victory lap after Democratic wins in Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio state elections, framing it as a validation of the president’s platform. “President Biden’s values and agenda won big across the country last night,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a briefing with reporters. “In Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, voters once again sided with President Biden’s agenda.”

Academia’s narrative about “land appropriation” and “cultural genocide” is not only dubious factually—it also offers a justification for revenge against certain groups. The newest chapter in grievance politics is being written in American schools. This emerging narrative of “land appropriation” and “cultural genocide” is one-sided, divisive, and contrary both to history and to widely accepted ethical and constitutional principles of individual accountability and due process. On our campus, the University of Chicago Civic Knowledge Project (UCCKP), together with the American Indian Center, has proposed a land acknowledgment to “demonstrate[] a commitment to beginning the process of dismantling the ongoing legacies...

Even if you're not a loyal reader of mine, you can tell that Disney is in the midst of a slow but sure collapse, and while all of its properties are undergoing some form of trouble, the one undergoing the most noticeable critical failure is Marvel. The once indefatigable Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) went from being a multi-billion dollar golden goose for Disney to becoming one of the stones dragging it to the sea floor. While many heard the alarms blaring now for years and saw the collapse coming for some time, it was common practice for the access media...

President Biden is scheduled to discuss his economic agenda on Monday afternoon at the White House. The White House on Monday morning announced a plan to promote investment in tech development at 31 hubs around the country. The Biden administration has been pushing for increased domestic manufacturing, particularly in emerging sectors like green energy.

President Biden said Thursday that so-called MAGA Republicans are failing while making the pitch for his own economic agenda and achievements under the banner of “Bidenomics.” “You hear from our friends on the other side, the MAGA Republicans, what’s wrong with America. Everything’s wrong with America. They keep telling us America’s failing,” the president said in remarks at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Md. “Well they’re wrong: They’re failing. America’s not failing, America’s winning, and there’s one reason for it: you. At the event, which looked a lot like a campaign speech, the president said that his agenda is...

Earlier this week Texas grid operator ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) asked residents to reduce energy usage amid a sweltering heat wave to avoid rolling blackouts. ERCOT manages electric power to more than 26 million Texas customers and represents 90% of the state’s electric load, according to the company. Temperatures soared to 115+ degrees with the heat index in parts of Texas on Thursday amid an excessive heat warning. ERCOT issued the voluntary conservation notice due to extreme temperatures, forecasted high demand and lower reserves due to low wind generation. ... The wind turbines aren’t producing enough energy.

While nobody denies that racist people exist all over the world, including in the U.S., racism in America today is, to a very significant degree, a manufactured problem, crafted by woke Leftists in order to overthrow the American way of life. The Left claims there exists an intolerable, all-pervasive system of white oppression and if you disagree, they will destroy you and may even inflict violence. The woke tell us that racism has gotten worse, but this is drivel. As I explain in my speech “Racism in America Today,” the less actual racism there is, the more of it the...

Why are some Republicans so dissatisfied with democracy? Immediately after Ohio voters set an example for strong participation in direct democracy while soundly rejecting Issue 1, a measure clearly aimed at curtailing abortion, the authoritarian far right was deeply into the blame game. Issue 1’s supporters blamed “out-of-state dark money groups” and lack of time for their defeat. Ohio’s Republican secretary of state Frank LaRose called the vote “devastating.” The sputtering was telling. Because this is what the Republican anti-reproductive freedom crowd claimed it wanted along: the chance to turn the question of abortion over to the states and let...

LOS ANGELES — Emily Drabinski took over as president of the American Library Association in July with plans to tackle the pressing issues facing her profession, such as shoring up funding and fighting a record number of book ban attempts nationwide. She said she wants to make sure that the LBGTQ community and Black people see themselves reflected in the books on their library shelves. And she’s planning to prepare libraries for the consequences of climate change, pointing to the severe flooding this summer. But some Republicans have focused on a single tweet Drabinski sent over a year ago to...
