Stop Recycling Plastic
Posted By: RockyTCB, 12/9/2025 8:06:13 AM
Microplastic accumulation in the human body could be a serious health hazard, according to some researchers, and might be linked to cancer, heart attacks and other threatening medical conditions. We’ll never eliminate all microplastic from the environment, but we could significantly reduce the volume if we’d just shut down plastic recycling. A Stanford Medicine article says scientists estimate that “adults ingest the equivalent of one credit card per week in microplastics,” which sounds frightening, even though only a “few studies have directly examined the impact of microplastics on human health, leaving us in the dark about how dangerous they

Let’s get right into it, shall we?
Attorney Gregory Joseph has filed a Petition for Postconviction Relief seeking to vacate the 2021 second-degree murder conviction of former Minneapolis Department Officer Derek Chauvin related to the death of pseudo-saint George Floyd. (News of which you certainly missed because, despite its sensational assertions, it was largely swept under the rug by legacy media.)
Why now? As counsel expresses in a 71-page memorandum accompanying the petition, in the vain hope (to somewhat give away the conclusion here) that “removed from the hysteria of the day,” a court “can finally look at the facts
About That Retracted Climate Report …

The global warming crisis blob is eager to bullhorn any scrap of “science” to scare the industrial West into surrendering to its agenda. But it turns out that when a much-touted report was slain by error, then the metaphorical crickets, not the ones the elites want us to eat to save the environment, are all that can be heard.
A paper published in the science journal Nature in April 2024 was retracted this week by its authors because “the results were found to be sensitive to the removal of one country, Uzbekistan, where inaccuracies were noted in the underlying economic data for the period 1995–1999.”
President Donald Trump took another welcome step this week to free the auto industry from the grip of federal regulators who are largely to blame for the boring, homogenized fleet of cars that fill up the roads these days.
On Wednesday, Trump released a plan to roll back federal corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standard to levels that won’t force Americans into electric cars.
In what he’s calling a reset, the plan is to chuck the Biden administration’s fuel mandate – a mandate specifically designed to force car buyers into EVs.
As the White House correctly put it,
Turns out that the left does understand the dangers inherent in a big central government amassing lots of information on private citizens. But, weirdly, only when it comes to protecting noncitizens who are here illegally.
A story in Politico tells the tale of a nationwide license plate recognition system billed “as a program to root out criminal activity on local streets, with its cameras already installed in more than 6,000 municipalities nationally.”
It goes on to point out that many blue cities and towns are cancelling their contracts with the program out of fear that “the cameras themselves pose the bigger danger for their cities, offering federal law enforcement

Gauges Regain Lost Ground In December:
I&I/TIPP Poll 2 replies
As December begins and 2025 nears an end, voters appear to be a lot happier with President Donald Trump than in recent months, with both his “favorability” and “approval” ratings climbing. Trump’s actions to promote peace abroad, build a stronger economy, and end the flow of illicit drugs across the U.S. border have struck a chord with average Americans.
As it does each month, the I&I/TIPP Poll leads off asking voters the following question about presidential leadership: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable, generally unfavorable, or are you not familiar enough to say one way or the other?”
Where’d All The Hurricanes Go?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was going to be above normal. With less than a week left in the season, how has the forecast panned out? It was off by a bit – the storms didn’t develop as predicted, even though we’ve been told for decades that man-caused global warming was going to bring stronger and more frequent storms.
In May, NOAA’s forecast called for a 60% chance of an above-normal season, a 30% chance we would see a near-normal season and only a 10% chance that activity would be below normal.
Say what you want about Zorhan Mamdani – and we have said plenty— but he may actually be smarter than every other leftist Democrat on the planet when it comes to President Trump.
First, some background.
From the moment Donald Trump descended the golden escalator in June 2015 to announce his candidacy, Democrats have been trying to destroy him. They’ve tried everything. A manufactured Russia hoax. Two impeachments. Countless legal actions and massive fines. Relentless name-calling. Two assassination attempts.
Each attempt was more desperate than the last,
About That ‘Sh*tty’ Trump Economy

“Trump’s Truly Sh*tty Economy” – Robert Reich. That’s how the diminutive former Clinton labor secretary put it recently on his Substack page, and it’s the message Democrats desperately want every American to hear. We have an affordability crisis! Real wages are falling!! Trump is making it worse!!! The recent elections show the depth of despair!!!!
It’s true that Americans aren’t particularly happy at the moment. The TIPP Economic Optimism Index (TIPP is I&I’s polling partner) is lower today than it was in June 2020, during peak COVID mania. And just 34% give Trump an “A” or “B” grade on his handling of the economy
American military attacks on boats in the Caribbean and Western Pacific carrying illicit drugs have created a furor in the media and within the Democratic Party. But that’s about as far as the rage goes: Most Americans support the actions and, if they fail, back further action against the governments that support the drug cartels, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The online nationwide poll, taken from Oct. 28 to Oct. 31 by 1,418 adults, has a +/- 2.8 percentage point margin of error.
I&I/TIPP asked respondents: “The U.S. military has been destroying boats in the Caribbean and Pacific carrying illegal drugs from
Before the global warming catastrophists held sway in our politics and in the media, we were warned that another ice age was in our near future. But that prediction was overwhelmed by fearmongers who have been telling us for decades that we’re burning our world with greenhouse gas emissions. Now we’re hearing again that the big freeze is coming. What do we do with this new information?
Best just to ignore it, since predicting the future climate based on human activity is a narcissistic folly.
In 1970, University of California, Davis ecologist Kenneth Watt pulled the alarm handle. Our planet,
BBC: The Biased Broadcasting Corporation

The resignation of a pair of British Broadcasting Corporation executives over the manipulative editing of a video of President Donald Trump to suggest he incited the Jan. 6 Capitol riot is not the end of the BBC’s troubles. The Beeb has launched a probe to determine if its climate change coverage has been slanted. If the investigation is on the level, more resignations should follow.
“The broadcaster has decided to review its climate and energy policy reporting after a string of controversies,” the Telegraph reported Sunday. “It has been forced to make a series of corrections, with some programs being removed altogether.”

Hamas leader Khaled Mashal declared that “the resistance and its weapons are our honor and glory” and that “the battle is not over,” boasting that rights are won “at the recruitment office, not the U.N. Security Council” — a declaration that directly contradicts President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan and celebrates the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood” massacre as a turning point to push Israel off “our homeland” and the international stage. Speaking Saturday by video to the “Pledge to Jerusalem” conference in Istanbul, the head of Hamas abroad used a keynote address carried on Al Jazeera to lay out an uncompromising roadmap that flatly rejects the core elements -

after Dem announces he’s running for reelection 28 replies
President Trump expressed angry regret over his eyebrow-raising pardon of Rep. Henry Cuellar last Wednesday after the pol quickly confirmed his reelection plans as a Democrat.
Cuellar (D-Texas), 70, who sits in one of the House Democrats’ most competitive seats faced federal bribery, money laundering, and foreign-agent charges for allegedly taking $600,000 from Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company and a Mexican bank.
“Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat,” Trump raged in a lengthy Truth Social post.

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett launched a campaign Monday for the U.S. Senate in Texas, telling President Donald Trump, “I’m coming for you,” and bringing a national profile to what could be a critical race for Democrats’ long-shot hopes of reclaiming a Senate majority in next year’s midterm elections.
Crockett, one of Congress’ most outspoken Democrats, a frequent target of GOP attacks and a Trump target, jumped into the race on the final day of qualifying in Texas. She is seeking the Senate seat held by Republican John Cornyn, who is running for reelection in the GOP-dominated state.

President Joe Biden was warned by advisers that his immigration plans could lead to “chaos” at the US border — but he ignored them, a newly uncovered memo reveals.
His team doled out the advice to Biden when he was still campaigning against President Trump back in 2020, the New York Times reported.
“A potential surge could create chaos and a humanitarian crisis, overwhelm processing capacities and imperil the agenda of the new administration,” Biden’s advisers wrote.
The memo warned that a huge influx was possible given Biden’s approach, a backlog from the Trump administration, and COVID hardships.

Former House Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, is dropping out of the Lone Star State's Senate race, he announced on Monday. Allred's announcement comes as rumors swirl about progressive Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, potentially entering the fray as soon as late Monday afternoon.

Highlighting exactly why Barack Obama, Joe Biden and James Clyburn needed to deploy a 2021 Machiavellian strategy to get her moved onto the Supreme Court, Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson (KBJ) argues for the supreme power of the DC bureaucracy that must not be challenged by the President of the United States (Executive Branch).
In the case of Trump v Slaughter, the removal of the FTC Chair, Justice KBJ argues that presidential authority must be kept in check by the unelected “professionals and experts” who make up the bureaucracy underneath him. The “No Kings” argument is entirely ridiculous given the plenary power of the executive and the constitutional authority of the
A woke Vermont school district hoisted a Somali flag on Friday, as Democrats around the country defend Somali migrants amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown and a growing fraud scandal in Minnesota’s Somali community.
“We are raising the Somali flag this week in honor of our Somali youth and families in Winooski and Vermont,” the Winooski School District posted to Facebook. “On Monday, we will be gathering to celebrate together and to learn more about our civil rights.” The Winooski School District told OutKick the Somali flag was raised on one of its three flagpoles. The American flag is on the highest mast, in accordance with the United States Flag Code,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) leads among young Democratic voters in a hypothetical 2028 presidential primary, according to a new survey.The Yale Youth Poll, released on Monday, shows Ocasio-Cortez with a double-digit lead over former Vice President Kamala Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other potential contenders when Democrats under 35 are asked which hypothetical candidate they would support if the 2028 primary were held today. Among registered Democrats ages 18-22, 30 percent would back Ocasio-Cortez, 20 percent would support Harris and 12 percent would vote for Newsom. Among Democrats ages 23-29

over 5 years to finally bust the suspected
J6 pipe bomber 21 replies
The arrest of the alleged J6 pipe bomber just lumps mystery on top of mystery.
What we know from court documents and media reports since his arrest Thursday is that suspect Brian Cole Jr., is a black, 30-year-old loner who lives in his mom’s basement in the middle-class suburb of Woodbridge, Va., a 20-minute drive from Washington, DC. According to his family, he is borderline autistic, and incapable of such a crime.
In interviews, Cole’s grandmother, Loretta Cole, has said he is “very naïve . . . He’s almost autistic-like because he doesn’t understand a lot of stuff.
“He’s slow. He may be 30, but he’s got the mind of a 16-year-old.”

South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace slammed her party's House leadership Monday in an opinion piece for the New York Times, where she claimed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a "more effective" leader than Republicans.
Mace is the latest female Republican lawmaker to blast House leadership and the Trump administration, after Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene broke from her party to criticize its leadership in recent months.
"I came to Congress five years ago believing I could make a difference for my constituents, for South Carolina and for a country I love deeply," Mace wrote in her piece. "But I’ve learned that the system in the House
Last month, Florida Attorney General James Uttmeier made public a letter to the American Bar Association (“ABA”) accusing it of violating the First Amendment right to religious freedom when it said a Catholic law school did not meet one of its equal opportunity accreditation standards. The school is Florida’s St. Thomas University College of Law, and the standard is number 205, titled “Non-discrimination and Equal Opportunity.” The ABA’s finding did not specify how St. Thomas fell short.
Standard 205 is distinct from the ABA’s standard 206, which requires law schools to commit to diversity ideology to get accredited.
Joe Biden's FBI under Director Christopher Wray knew Brian Cole was the January 6 pipe bomber back in April, 2921, but for some reason chose not to take him into custody or charge him with crimes. Brian Cole, 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, was taken into custody last Thursday and charged with use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials. Cole admitted to investigators that he planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot.
