Climate Alarm On The Run

It’s not sad in the least that the Washington Post has cut its climate “reporting” team down to five lonely reporters.

When Stellantis last week announced it was writing down $26 billion, the CEO of the car company that now owns Chrysler, Antonio Filosa, said it was “part of a decisive process we started in 2025 to once again make our customers and their preferences our guiding star.”
Which begs the question: What was Stellantis’ guiding star before if not its own customers?
For that matter, who or what has been guiding General Motors (which announced a $7.6 billion writedown last month), Ford ($19.5 billion), and other automakers that’ve written down a total of $140 billion in just the past three years?

Of U.S. Voters ‘Concerned’ About Nuclear
War: I&I/TIPP Poll 7 replies
Americans have lived with the threat of nuclear war for more than seven decades, yet the deadly weapons get little serious attention outside of wonky policy circles. But, as a major U.S.-Russia nuclear weapons agreement expires and nuclear talks with Iran continue, most Americans show real concern about the threat of nuclear war, the latest I&I/TIPP poll shows.
For the February poll, I&I/TIPP asked four questions related to the nuclear threat. The first asked: “How concerned are you about the risk of nuclear conflict involving the United States, Russia, or China?”
By 2-to-1, or 62% to 31%, Americans said
With nothing else to run on, Democrats appear to think that demonizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers will be enough to win them control of Congress come November.
“In their campaigns, Democrats across the country are responding to the anger felt by many communities over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations,” reports CBS News. If they can sustain today’s anger, the argument goes, voters will turn out in droves to clip the Trump administration’s wings in his last two years in office.
But there are a multitude of reasons why this strategy

Californians have a right to be angry about Minnesota. It’s getting all the federal government attention for its illegal immigration, street violence, fraud and graft when California, in fact, is the king of all those civic sins.
Yes, Minnesota and its lead city, Minneapolis, are impressive in the scale of fraud, estimated currently at billions of dollars, according to the Cato Institute’s recent “Fraud Update.” Not bad for a blue state, especially one with just 5.8 million people.
But let’s be honest. Minnesota’s inhabitants are mere pikers compared to those in the Golden State. There, the level of fraud and corruption, immigrant and otherwise, has reached shocking levels.

Love him or hate him, President Donald Trump’s favorability ratings have plateaued in recent months, despite violent demonstrations in major cities, the possibility of military action against Iran, and continuing concerns among Americans about “affordability,” February’s I&I/TIPP Poll data show.
Each month, I&I/TIPP asks voters questions about presidential leadership, the first being: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable, generally unfavorable, or are you not familiar enough to say one way or the other?”
This month’s online national poll, taken by 1,384 voters, showed virtually no change overall:
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ “Doomsday Clock,” which is supposed to be an expert assessment of how close the world is to a nuclear holocaust, ticked down to 85 seconds to midnight this week.
Are you scared? You shouldn’t be. The clock has proved to be a terrible measure of doomsday, but a near-perfect measure of the left’s grip on power, reliably moving away from midnight when Democrats are in the White House, and closer to Armageddon during Republican administrations.
First, look at the reasons behind why it ticked closer to midnight this year.

Two Decades Of Inconvenient Inaccuracies

As most know by now, Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” global warming propaganda film turned 20 a few days ago. It won a couple of Oscars in 2007, one for best documentary. The latter should be returned. The movie was filled with errors.
Exalting the celluloid screed with an Academy Award for best documentary is the equivalent of handing the Nobel Peace Prize to a terrorist, an incompetent, a fraud, an unaccomplished charlatan, and, yes, Gore himself, because it was far more a faux-umentary than an honest account of the facts.
In the same year that Gore was given his participation trophy,
The arrest of narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro, the quarantine imposed on Venezuela’s oil industry and the collapse of the European Union’s “renewable energy” strategy all have raised a big question in the minds of many Americans: What role should foreign energy play in our policy efforts?
This month’s I&I/TIPP Poll’s online national survey of 1,478 adults, taken from Jan. 6 to Jan 9, provides a very clear answer: Access to foreign crude oil and other energy sources is very important to a majority of Americans. The poll’s margin of error is +/-2.9 percentage points.

In the early months of 2025, Donald Trump sensibly began to roll back burdensome regulations that had targeted modern conveniences. Now the House has codified a Trump executive order so that the next Democratic president can’t, with the stroke of an autopen, unwind the progress. Now it’s up to the Senate to match the House’s work and make the deregulatory directive law.
Still fresh into his second term in the White House, the Trump administration, in the words of Marc Oestreich that are so enjoyable to read that we have to repeat them here, “turned its chainsaws on the Department of Energy (DOE),
Over the weekend, USA Today reported that northeast states were experiencing an unusual winter problem – a shortage of salt.
It seems that there have been so many snowstorms this winter that even states like Michigan and Vermont – which are quite accustomed to them – are running short of the snow-melting chemical.
“An official from Monroe County, [Michigan] located between Detroit and Ohio, told the news station that local crews used more salt in December than in the past four Decembers combined,” says USA Today.
But what’s curiously missing from this and other accounts of the winter storm
Some of us are old enough to remember Matthew Lesko, the lanky, fast-talking late-night TV pitchman who promised people free government money to those who bought his books.
There are, Lesko said in one of his countless ads decades ago, “15,000 programs you can use to get a better job, get an education, or start your own business. Those who know about the programs are the ones who get the money!” Lesko was right about how easy it is to get taxpayer money.
What Lesko didn’t say is that it’s easy to do even when it violates the law — especially if you live in a state run by Democrats.

Representative Ilhan Omar is one of the most sanctimonious corrupt Democrats in congress, and she’s loud and proud about it because she understands how to engage in financial fraud safely. Just do what everyone else is doing but do it bigger, that way there’s no way her peers can approach it.
Someone in DC gave House Oversight Chairman James Comer the familiar tap on the shoulder and told him they don’t investigate their own Uniparty tribe. So, Comer drops his planned review of Omar’s corruption and shifts it to the ethics team.
Olympic athletes aren't stumbling into competition by accident; years of training, taxpayer-backed facilities, national governing bodies, corporate sponsors, and a county willing to invest all come together to push the select few onto the world's stage.
Displaying the flag on their uniform represents far more than any fashion choice or personal mood, yet every Olympic cycle seems to attract competitors who want the benefits without sharing the burden of gratitude.
U.S. freestyle skier Hunter Hess, a Team USA member, recently voiced his mixed emotions about representing America, citing immigration enforcement and political disagreements. He determined that the flag on his chest represents friends, family, and personal ideals over government
Numerous Democratic leaders say their high-migration, low-wage sanctuary city economies are crashing because President Donald Trump is requiring them to comply with national labor laws.
“We are now expected to absorb the fiscal consequences of [federal] enforcement activities,” the treasurers of 16 states wrote to President Trump. “This is not acceptable.”
The treasurers of Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Minnesota, and nine other states are asking the federal government to exempt them from national laws that protect Americans’ civil rights, labor, housing, and anti-fraud laws.
“We urge your administration to immediately scale back enforcement activities causing this harm

The FBI released surveillance photos and videos of a potential subject in the investigation into the disappearance of “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother.
The four images depict a person wearing gloves, a mask, and a backpack appearing to tamper with the camera at Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the potential subject is armed.
The FBI said yesterday that it had not identified any suspects or persons of interest.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was dropped off at her home outside Tucson, Arizona, the night of Jan. 31 and was reported missing about noon Feb. 1.
Americans of all groups –– young and old, rich and middle-class, the college-educated and not –– are fleeing California.
Conservatives are leaving in droves.
The state will become even more progressive and even more committed to the self-destructive policies that are driving people out in the first place.
But this exodus might have a saving grace: It might make surrounding states more conservative, right?
Well, this has yet to play out favorably for Republicans in some nearby states, including, for example, Arizona.

American broadcast journalist and Today Show host, Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing from her Tucson, Arizona home after being last seen at midnight on January 31, 2026. (snip)Latest allegations against Annie Guthrie's husband included him having a "dark secret" involving millions of dollars in unpaid gambling debts, with some specifically citing a USD 50 million debt to a Mexican casino as a potential motive for kidnapping Nancy Guthrie. However, media outlets such as Hindustan Times refuted the claims, noting that they had not been verified by credible sources. The claims followed the surfacing of Tommaso Cioni's power of attorney and his bandmate, Dominic Evans,
Today must be my day for trashing Pravda. Already, I have trashed Peggy Noonan's lament for the Washington Post, and contrasted her fantastical idea of what the media's relationship to truth is with the fact that the Post lionizes Adam Schiff as a model Democrat who is trying to save democracy.
Noonan writes for The Wall Street Journal, so I trashed it. The Washington Post is the "gold standard" for political coverage, and I trashed them.
So next, I need to trash the New York Times to complete a trifecta.
Jamelle Bouie gives me that opportunity, as it happens. He is a columnist for the Times and has been called
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced on Feb. 8 that he was uninvited from a dinner at the White House for the nation’s governors.
Moore wrote on his website that his exclusion undermined bipartisanship and was possibly racially motivated. “As the nation’s only black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight—whether that was the intent or not,” he said.
Other Democratic governors, such as Colorado’s Jared Polis and California’s Gavin Newsom, also reported being uninvited from the dinner.

The FBI has "substantiated" some major irregularities in how votes were counted in Georgia's largest urban area in the aftermath of the 2020 election and is probing whether those failures were intentional efforts to violate federal election law, according to a bombshell affidavit unsealed by a federal court on Tuesday. FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans first filed the affidavit last month to establish probable cause for a raid that seized about 700 boxes of Georgia 2020 elections ballots from a storage warehouse [snip.]

The Trump administration is set this week to overturn an Obama-era scientific finding that serves as the legal basis for federal greenhouse-gas regulation, the Environmental Protection Agency said on Monday. Repealing the so-called endangerment finding, a scientific determination that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health, would remove the legal foundation for broader greenhouse gas regulation and would mark the Trump administration’s most wide-reaching climate policy rollback.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the repeal is expected to be published later this week, and cited EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin saying it would amount to “the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States.”
Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) is calling for federal action against the NFL and NBC following Sunday's explicit Super Bowl halftime show. In a post on X on Monday, Fine argued that the Spanish-language performance violated federal broadcast standards and should result in major penalties. (snip) Fine said Bad Bunny's performance (snip) would not be tolerated if the lyrics were performed in English (snip) "the broadcast would have been pulled down and fines would have been enormous."
