Taylor Swift's Wembley Eras Tour is just around the corner, but a recent incident has thrown a splash of orange paint onto the pre-show buzz. Swift's private jet became an unwitting target in a London airport protest. Eco-activists from the group Just Stop Oil doused several private jets with orange paint, with Swift's plane reportedly among those present at the moment. The Cruel Summer singer’s jet was believed to have just landed hours before the “second anti-fossil fuels protest,” took shape. Taylor Swift's name has been added to an expanding roster of stars under scrutiny for their use of private jets. As concerns over carbon emissions mount,

I wonder if they use paint with petroleum derivates or any products which were shipped using petroleum products. "Just stop oil except for our very reasonable use of it."

It's not the use of private jets that bothers me. It's the hypocritical flyers telling me I have to give up my fossil fuel burning means of transportation. Like the Waghu beef eaters telling me I have to eat crickets! Make the protesters do the actual labor of cleaning up the messes they create!

While Aditi Srivastava at the Hindustan Times [New Delhi India] wrings her hands over Taylor Swift's jet, an article (link: https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/headlines/2989474-indias-fossil-fuel-consumption-hits-record-high-in-2023) states that: "Fossil fuel consumption in India rose by 8% in 2023, significantly contributing to global demand growth. A report by the Energy Institute highlighted that India used more coal than Europe and North America combined." India, as the saying goes, "First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.." A separate article (link: https://globalenergymonitor.org/report/boom-and-bust-coal-2024/) shows that China's additional coal-fired power plants dwarfed the rest of the world, with Indonesia and India in 2nd and 3rd place. The USA had by far the largest reduction in coal-fired power plant capacity, with the UK and Australia in 2nd and 3rd place. I don't know about the UK, but on this side of the pond there are severe punishments for vandalizing an aircraft.

There are a few problems here. First, if some crazed climate kooks can get into the airport to vandalize Taylor Swift's private jet, what is to stop some crazed Islamic terrorists from doing the same thing and planting bombs or sabotaging commercial passenger jets? A big fireball on takeoff of a British Airways jet would draw a lot of attention to the terrorists cause. Next, did the climate kooks think about how many petroleum products and fluorcarbons will be released repainting the jet and chemicals will be used to clean it before painting? They did more damage to the environment than Swift's jet. Finally, who do these activists really think they are bringing to their cause by doing this stupid stuff?

Throw them in jail, make them pay the big bucks to clean all of the private jets. If you don't, they will just keep doing it until they do it to the wrong person. Then they won't be doing anything ever again.

It’s been a couple of weeks since Israeli forces launched a successful raid in Gaza that rescued four hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7 attacks last year. Normal people celebrated this operation, whereas the anti-Israel, antisemitic clowns were mourning the loss of the terrorists killed in the raid. That’s how you know the Left is messed up in the head on this matter: they were more upset over the dead captors and the rescue of those they held captive. The media coverage does play a part in that since newsrooms are staffed with woke left-wingers who hate Jewish people. That hateful pipeline can be traced back

Before we get into this abysmal segment, let’s not forget that this network is doing its job: keeping liberal blood pressures low by feeding the sheep grade-A liberal propaganda.

President Joe Biden is being shuffled to Camp Debate to prepare for the most consequential debate of his political career: the June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump. Biden is mustering all his top advisers to prepare him for this epic showdown, where the president’s mental health and stamina will be tested. For weeks, we’ve seen a mentally declining president on display. CBS News reported that “we should expect some surprises” from this debate preparation excursion. And what will that be—Biden not falling or him saying something remotely coherent? The 2024 playbook is a mess, and it's Democrats who are making that known behind the scenes.

President Biden appeared to freeze up and temporarily forget the name of his Homeland Security Secretary during a White House event Tuesday. The president had taken the podium in the White House’s East Room to announce new measures giving illegal immigrants living in the U.S. a pathway to citizenship. Biden introduced himself, using a familiar quip about being "Jill Biden’s husband." He thanked Congress and Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, but seemed to trail off when trying to remember Mayorkas’ name. "I’m not sure I’m going to be able to introduce you all the way," Biden said, eliciting laughter from the audience. The president then appeared to brush off the flub

Willie Mays is dead at 93.

Nicknamed "the Say Hey Kid," he was even admired by his rivals. In the 1950s and '60s era of great slugger competitions, he stood out in all aspects of the game. In the 1950s, with three major league teams in New York City, a press rivalry began among three Hall of Fame slugging outfielders, Duke Snider of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Mickey Mantle of the Yankees, and Mays of the New York Giants.

Stories about Missouri Democratic Rep. Cori Bush miraculously healing a woman with tumors and causing a sick toddler to walk have resurfaced. In her 2022 autobiography "The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America," Bush wrote about her time working as a faith healer. During that time, the New York Post first reported she claimed that she had an almost supernatural ability within her to heal others. One instance included helping a disabled toddler to walk. "The child had had a bleed in her brain, shortly after she was born, and so couldn’t walk. She had never taken a step in her life," Bush wrote.

Former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance in a Friday podcast episode accused former President Donald Trump of “abusing the system” by using his rights as a defendant to legally delay his cases. Trump has successfully delayed the cases he faces as a defendant, making it so some are unlikely to occur before the upcoming presidential election. Vance on “Defending Democracy” criticized Trump while praising Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and special counsel Jack Smith for their efforts to accelerate the cases against the former president and hold his “feet to the fire.” “I mean, it’s tough, right?

Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced it was seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Such a move, from a body with serious legitimacy and enforcement concerns, looks to equate the victim and the perpetrator of the October 7 attack that Hamas committed against our ally in the Middle East. Earlier this month the House passed a bill to sanction the ICC, with even some Democrats joining. Other Democrats however, would rather do the ICC's bidding, especially Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, who reminded "I am available" to do so.

Former President Donald Trump’s new proposal to exclude tips from federal taxes is getting strong reviews from some Republican lawmakers, though major questions remain about the impact of the policy and how it would work. What’s certain is that a change in the taxation of tips would affect millions. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there are 2.24 million waiters and waitresses across the country, with tips making up a large percentage of their income.

A Democrat political strategist is confirming what many believe is the biggest problem with Joe Biden's re-election campaign: Joe Biden. The president - a week ahead of the surprise first debate against Donald Trump - continues to struggle in the polls, often trailing nationally and in key swing states. What's worse for Biden is that the Democrat Senators defending their seats this November are running ahead of Biden and even handily leading their Republican opponent.However, in the same polls, the consistently gaffe-prone Biden is either barely leading or outright trailing his long-time rival.
