New Report Highlights Green Failure in Europe and Warns America

As one digests Rupert Darwall’s latest report for the RealClear Foundation, the well-known quote from Spanish philosopher George Santayana might ring through the mind: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Anyone looking to combat the activists pushing a ‘net zero’ agenda here in the U.S. would be wise to read Darwall’s piece, entitled “The Folly of Climate Leadership.”

The analysis tells the story of Great Britain heeding the cries for decarbonization, starting when Parliament wrote an 80 percent decrease in emissions target into law in 2008. They raised it to 100 percent—or “net zero”—in 2019. The results have clearly been catastrophic.

Epstein would pay driver $200 for every teen girl he dropped off, Ghislaine would scout at nightclubs: docs

A man roped in to help drive potential young victims to Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach, Fla. mansion claimed the late pedophile would personally cough up $200 cash for every teen girl he dropped off, according to newly unsealed court documents.

The claim, included in the third batch of previously sealed files released Friday afternoon, was made in a 2016 deposition given by Tony Figueroa as he described how he dropped young girls at the property.

Second plane sent to bring Trudeau home from luxury Jamaica vacation after breakdown

Friday’s return home from his Christmas vacation in Jamaica didn’t go smoothly for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: The CC-144 Challenger business jet that took him there on Boxing Day broke down, requiring the RCAF to dispatch a rescue plane to get the relatively new aircraft back in the sky.

It was the second time in nearly four months that a breakdown prompted the Royal Canadian Air Force to dispatch rescue aircraft to bring home Canada’s prime minister from an overseas visit.

Make him take a bus next time.

2023: The year the US government started taking UFOs seriously

Last year marked a profound shift in the conversation around unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the new preferred term for what everyone knows as UFOs.

The reflexive giggles that long followed any mention of “UFO” now subside quickly when the uninformed learn about bipartisan legislation and serious elected officeholders alleging that surreptitious government “legacy programs” possess “biological evidence of non-human intelligence” and are attempting to reverse engineer exotic “technologies of unknown origin.”

New York A.G. Seeks $370 Million From Trump After Civil Fraud Trial

The New York attorney general on Friday asked that the judge who had overseen the civil fraud trial of Donald J. Trump to penalize the former president about $370 million, saying the trial had demonstrated that he had gained that amount through unlawful conduct.

The sum was well over the $250 million that the attorney general, Letitia James, had estimated in the fall of 2022, when she sued Mr. Trump, accusing him of inflating his net worth to obtain favorable treatment from banks and insurers.

Calls For FBI to release hundreds of ‘missing’ Epstein documents, tapes, CDs, passports & pictures taken from his townhouse amid suspicions pedo was linked to Mossad

The FBI is facing fresh calls to release hundreds of ‘missing’ pieces of evidence raided from Jeffrey Epstein’s $51 million New York townhouse following the release of a new list of his associates.

Among the items said to be missing are tapes, CDs, passports and pictures all located inside a safe within the property during a siege on the home in July 2019, shortly after Epstein was arrested.

It comes as speculation continues to swirl that Epstein was working as an agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad prior to his suicide while awaiting trial for child sex offences.

Groups That Support Hamas

Even before the bodies of roughly 1,200 people in Israel , including dozens of children, were cold after being tortured, raped and massacred on October 7 by the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas, not just Palestinians and Arabs, but people in the West could be seen demonstrating in support of the torturers, murderers and rapists. Even the otherwise outraged hashtag women’s groups have yet to be heard from, with at least one politician in the US, a woman, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), actually “downplaying” the atrocities and other members of the public denying that they had even happened.

Who are these people and groups supporting a terrorist group, Hamas?

P.E.I. wind turbines at ‘high risk of imminent failure,’ consultant warned province in 2022

A consultant hired in 2022 to assess production problems at a wind farm owned by the P.E.I. government found severe damage, with turbine units possibly constituting a safety hazard and turbine blades at “high risk of imminent failure.”

Last month, high winds ripped two 56-metre blades off one of the turbines at the facility in Hermanville, near the northeastern tip of Prince Edward Island. For comparison, the province’s tallest building is only 39 metres tall; it’s the 10-storey Holman Grand Hotel in Charlottetown.
