The permanent bureaucracies and huge federal workforce are mostly left-wing, unionized, and weaponized by a progressive apparat. Their supreme directive is to amalgamate legislative, judicial, and executive power into the hands of the unelected Anthony Faucis, Jim Comeys, and Lois Lerners of the world—and thus to override or ignore both popular plebiscites and the work of the elected Congress.
Over ninety percent of the media—legacy, network, social, and state—are left-wing. Their mission is not objectivity but, admittedly, indoctrination.
Under the mutually reinforcing guises of protecting civil rights, advancing feminism, protecting the environment, and dismantling forms of oppression, the West has ushered in a disorienting era in which biological reality, marriage, motherhood, parenthood, and the family unit are under sustained attack.
The list is growing of judges who moonlight as the president of the United States. These “judges” have reversed executive orders, prevented the firing of federal employees, and even ordered deported gang members returned to the United States.
No one should be surprised at this judicial insurgency. For decades, Democrats have “judge-shopped” to get their cases before “friendly” judges. The openly corrupt part of this tactic is having “friendly” not impartial judges. But the crazy stuff eventually got overturned, and the system worked. So how did we get to this place where the system no longer works?

I’m a Yale free-speech champion — arrested for words I never said In America, we’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty — not guilty until you can scrape together enough money, time and evidence to clear your name.
I got no apology. Not from the accuser, his employer or the police.
Not from the prosecutor who entertained this blatantly unconstitutional charade, and not from the media outlets that treated an unproven allegation as fact.
The media didn’t seek out the truth. They just repeated one lie after another, eager to convict me in the court of public opinion.

The Navy Has As Many Admirals as Ships...And the Air Force has a general for every 22 planes The US Navy is woefully behind on shipbuilding and maintenance, and the service has struggled with its varied missions, but the one thing it’s not short of is admirals. The same is true for the other branches of the military which struggle with performance, but not with top brass.
Hegseth has proposed cutting 20% of the 37 four-star officers and 10% of the over 800 flag and general officers. As he and others have pointed out, there are more than twice as many four-stars today as there were during WWII even as the force size shrank by over 80%.

Planned Parenthood Is Performing More Abortions Than Ever While Getting Record Federal Funding According to the numbers that Planned Parenthood just released, the organization got nearly 800 million dollars in government funding in just 12 months…

Providence City Council to Raise Palestinian Flag Over City Hall – Backlash Building The invitation triggered outrage from community members, local leaders, and advocacy groups who viewed the event as offensive and deeply divisive—especially given the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East.
Frankly, I was surprised—but encouraged—by the intensity of the public backlash. Providence may be a deep-blue city in a deep-blue state, but even for them, this went too far. Image

Germany Wind Power Firms Face Millions In Losses As Wind Speed Drops To 50-Year Low In many ways, Germany’s wind power revolution has been a success, with wind power serving as the country’s largest source of electricity. However, the current wind lull over the last three months has led to an extreme dip in energy production, which is costing firms millions in losses.
A properly designed power grid uses nuclear power and fossil fuels (coal and oil) to generate a high percentage of the base load. Hydro, wind, and solar (in that order) should be layered on the base load generation as conditions permit. Gas turbines are employed to supply peak load demands and respond to unexpected generator outages. System inertia must be maintained to control system frequency when demand fluctuates. The load mix (heavy manufacturing vs. residential) must be considered in grid design.
Politics and pseudoscience based on the fraudulent global warming hypothesis should play no role in designing a nation’s power grid. Excessive deployment of wind and solar generators can reduce the reliability of the power grid by decreasing system inertia.

Could there come a day when endless scrolling is recognized as damaging to mental health in the same way smoking harms physical health? Will we reevaluate the appropriate age for smartphone use or reconsider adults’ immersion in social media? Will future generations look back on today’s unlimited access to pornography with horror and disbelief?
Have you ever been thinking about something and then an ad for that very thing comes up on your phone? It isn’t just a coincidence when that happens. Our phones are the greatest surveillance devices that have ever been created in the entire history of humanity. When you carry a phone with you, you are carrying around a microphone, a camera, a location tracking device and a social media hub all rolled into one. Tech companies are literally collecting thousands upon thousands of data points on each one of us, and all of that information is fed into extremely sophisticated algorithms.
