From Panic to Therapy: Cycle of Faux Climate Fear
Posted By: Mercedes44, 3/14/2026 6:32:30 AM
Not long ago, as part of a series of articles on what is being done in response to climate change in all fifty states, a New York Times publication painted a seemingly innocent picture of teenagers gathered at the edge of six wooded, hilly acres in Minnesota. These young people, guided by an environmental group called Green Crew, pulled weeds and tended to local plants.The article framed this collective action as a therapeutic remedy for a generation suffering from profound climate anxiety. A quoted scientist in the piece proposes that engaging in group activities mitigates the depression and negative emotions born from obsessing over changing weather patterns.

Zohran Mamdani met with the “Dealmaker in Chief” during an unexpected visit to the White House in late February to discuss a massive housing project. While plans to increase housing supply could lower rents if implemented, achieving broad affordability might just be an empty promise if socialist ideology prevails in New York City.
Solving the housing crisis is a bipartisan issue, but the mayor’s campaign promise of rent control is not the silver bullet. And ever since he stacked the Rent Guidelines Board with a like-minded leftist majority that has the power to freeze rent for nearly 1 million units, disastrous rent-stabilized apartments may come to fruition.

The process of Syria’s radical Islamization and the vulnerability of Christians is ongoing at full speed. Jihadist indoctrination now starts at a very early age, including at kindergartens. Six-year-old girls at “Dar Al-Wahy” school in the city of Homs were recently recorded chanting during their morning assembly, “Welcome to death for the sake of Allah!”The X account Greco-Levantines Worldwide reported on 17 February:Since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, jihadist Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led forces have largely controlled Syria. This is an Islamic terrorist group with roots in Al-Qaeda and ISIS (Islamic State).

The U.S. Department of Energy announced on Wednesday that it would be joining a global, coordinated strategic release of crude oil reserves in order to lower oil prices resulting from ongoing hostilities in Iran.
“Earlier today, 32 member nations of the International Energy Agency (IEA) unanimously agreed to President Trump’s request to lower energy prices with a coordinated release of 400 million barrels of oil and refined products from their respective reserves,” Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement.
Of the 400 million barrels of oil that will be released, the U.S. will contribute 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized Friday in an intensive care unit with pneumonia, marking the latest health issue for the 70-year-old.
Bolsonaro's eldest son Flávio Bolsonaro said earlier Friday that his father was being transferred from prison to a hospital after waking up with chills and vomiting.
One of the former leader's doctors, Brasil Caiado, described the 70-year-old’s medical situation as serious.
“Pneumonia in patients over 70 is always serious because it can progress to septicemia, since the bacteria can normally enter the bloodstream and cause an even more severe condition,” Caiado told reporters.
Mar. 13, 2026) — In the 1960s, the Russian KGB and Yasir Arafat literally invented the entire concept––or should I say fiction––of a “Palestinian people,” you know, those perpetual “victims” who have received billions —more likely trillions — in “aid” from the world’s bleeding hearts, but after over 50 years, have become famous for a few things only:
Relentless attacks on Israeli Jews, the better to fulfill their Charter, which calls for the end of Israel and all Jews on earth.
Building tunnels in which to store arms and bombs to kill Jews.
Launching balloons of fire into Israel to kill Jews.
Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, the suspect identified in Thursday’s deadly shooting at Old Dominion University, previously pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in 2016 for attempting to provide materials to the Islamic State. The suspect killed one person and injured two others on the university’s campus, according to Old Dominion University Police Chief Garrett Shelton.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism.
“The shooter is now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and subdued him – actions that undoubtedly saved lives along with the quick response of law enforcement,” Patel said in a post on X.
The Trump administration’s latest move appears to continue its promise to put America first.
Americans have long paid the highest drug prices in the world, while patients in Europe and Canada receive the same medicines for a fraction of the cost. The Trump administration’s TrumpRx initiative aims to correct that imbalance. Last May, President Trump issued an executive order directing pharmaceutical companies to offer Americans “most-favored-nation” pricing – or the lowest price charged in other developed countries.
This order came with an ultimatum to major drug manufacturers that they would face “aggressive action” from the U.S. government should they not comply.

Carr Explains ‘Biggest Deregulatory
Program in FCC History’ 2 replies
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr discussed the Federal Communications Commission’s ongoing deregulation initiative during a policy discussion hosted by Breitbart News on Tuesday, March 10, outlining an effort he said has already removed more than a thousand regulations and reduced hundreds of pages of the agency’s rulebook as part of a broader review of federal communications rules. Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle asked Carr to explain the FCC’s “delete, delete, delete” initiative aimed at removing outdated regulations from the agency’s rulebook.
“This is the biggest deregulatory effort in the FCC’s history,” Carr declared.
“We’ve gone through the FCC Code of Federal Regulations, which is our rule book.
A Trump administration official told Breitbart News that Chinese officials have now threatened to detain Panamanian-flagged vessels in China, something that could disrupt global commerce and represents retaliation against Panama for recent developments taking control of the two ports on either end of the Panama Canal out of the hands of a Hong Kong company controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. The threat, which was relayed to the Panamanian consulate in Greece by a major Greek shipping company and reported back to the American government —
Former President Barack Obama long ago surpassed the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton as America's most influential race hustler. The country got a reminder when Obama spoke at Jackson's funeral, even though Jackson's son urged the speakers "not to bring their politics" to the service. Obama said, "Every day you wake up to things you just didn't think were possible. Each day, we're told by those in high office to fear each other, and to turn on each other. And that some Americans count more than others." Same old Obama.
In his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, he famously declared,
For decades, the United States poured billions into Lebanon, hoping to build a sovereign and stable ally in the Middle East. American aid was meant to strengthen the state, empower its army, and ensure that no weapons existed outside government control. Washington believed that with enough financial support, training, and diplomatic backing, Lebanon could become a functioning democracy and a reliable partner.
By 2025, the latest version of this experiment was underway. Former army chief Joseph Aoun, widely viewed as aligned with the United States, was elected president. Nawaf Salam, a respected former judge of the International Court of Justice, became prime minister.

security guard in supermarket brawl: ‘They

A pack of wild teenagers went on a rampage at a Bronx supermarket — accosting customers, punching a security guard and even ripping the hair out of a female employee’s head when she tried to stop them, The Post has learned. The uncontrollable kids went on the terrifying spree of violence at the Allerton Key Food at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday — and are still at large after a melee that sent customers scrambling for safety. “This is a supermarket. You come here to shop and you leave. I’m not supposed to have a customer covering her baby’s eyes,” Miguel Garcia, the store’s owner, told The Post.
“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.”
Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events.
For two years after the Hamas pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023, keffiyeh-clad Muslim students did their best Hitler Youth impressions on American university campuses, clamoring to eliminate the State of Israel and “globalize the intifada”
An imam told worshippers at a Twin Cities mosque that Muslims are the “replacement” for those who once held positions of privilege in America, declaring during a sermon that “this is our moment.”
Imam Abdul Malik delivered the remarks on Jan. 23 at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, where he urged Muslims in Minnesota to seek positions of influence across American institutions — including mayor, police chief, congressional leadership and even the presidency.
“Those that are in opposition to Islam, they’re watching the growth and the development of the Muslim community, and it scares them. You know why? Not because you’re a threat. No,”
‘Experts’ Know Less than They Think

Occasionally I hear credentialed professionals with prestigious titles whine about the so-called “war on expertise.” It really bothers people who see themselves as “experts” that a growing share of society ignores them. A psychologist might intuit something revealing from the lack of self-confidence plaguing our “expert” class. If all the fancy degrees, voluminous curricula vitae, and lofty career positions have failed to instill a resilient modicum of self-esteem, then perhaps all those things are not the true measures of a person’s worth.
“Experts” do not like to be challenged. They say things such as, “I have a PhD in this,”
An investigation by CBS News has discovered massive Medicare fraud at more than 700 out of 1,800 licensed hospice providers in Los Angeles County.
The scam utilizes stolen Medicare numbers to fraudulently enroll healthy seniors in hospice with fake terminal diagnoses, billing Medicare an average of $29,000 per patient without delivering care, to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. About 31 percent of hospice and home health companies in the U.S. are registered in L.A. County but when investigators visited the addresses listed, they found no clinics, patients or healthcare workers.
Instead they found multiple red flags, including multiple hospices in one building,
A ruthless “robbery crew” in Northern California turned a high-end Fremont jewelry store into a smash-and-grab wasteland, escaping with a staggering $1.7 million in merchandise in just over a minute.
Shocking surveillance footage released recently by the U.S. Department of Justice shows the precision of the heist, which occurred on June 18, 2025 at Kumar Jewelers in Fremont. Described by authorities as a “mob-style takeover,” the video shows a fleet of vehicles screeching to a halt in front of the storefront, and a crew of nearly two dozen masked suspects in dark hoodies swarming in like a tactical unit.
Armed with picks, hammers and carrying backpacks, the chaos that ensued inside
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is floating an extreme new proposal to change the state’s estate tax — a move that would hurt middle-class New Yorkers and their loved ones.
The socialist mayor wants to drastically slash the estate tax exemption threshold from the $7 million limit to just $750,000, a drop of more than 90%, according to a memo City Hall recently circulated to Albany lawmakers.
The “Tax Revenue Raising Proposals” document is a wish list containing dozens of different tax hikes that could be employed to bail the Big Apple out, according to Bloomberg. In addition to dropping the estate tax exemption —
Let me begin by putting all my cards face-up on the table. No one wishes the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo-ID in order to cast a ballot, to become law more than I.[snip] The argument against the SAVE Act is one of the more absurd cases to make, and it has not resonated at all with the American public, regardless of political party. [snip] President Trump said yesterday on the White House lawn that the SAVE Act is probably the most popular piece of legislation he's submitted to Congress, and he's correct.
The Trump administration swiftly removed former Miss California USA winner Carrie Prejean Boller from the White House Religious Liberty Commission after officials accused her of attempting to “hijack” a hearing on antisemitism to advance a personal political agenda.
The dramatic fallout has quickly turned into a public feud, with Prejean Boller launching a blistering attack on President Donald Trump and members of the commission after her removal.
According to Fox News, the decision to remove Prejean Boller was praised by multiple religious leaders and conservatives who argued that the commission’s purpose is to defend religious liberty, not serve as a platform for controversial personal activism.

A federal judge on Friday said he was blocking subpoenas that the Justice Department served to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in a probe purported to be about the management of the central bank's renovation."A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning," Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge on the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., wrote in a court filing.
Boasberg continued: "On the other side of the scale, the Government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime; indeed, its justifications are so thin and unsubstantiated
If you have followed Operation Epic Fury closely, you know why the United States has been blowing up Iran's military power, its leadership, and has allied itself with Israel to devastate the Iranian regime.
Yet, according to several polls, Americans aren't sure why Trump initiated the operation, and are mostly unaware of how incredibly successful it has been. Aside from the decapitation strikes' successes, people are led to believe that Iran is doing pretty well out of the war. There were a couple of striking findings in the poll, but the one that stands out is that Americans are confused about why we are at war in the first place.
Presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom has been taking time away from destroying my state that he governs to hit the 2028 campaign trail, and he made a bit of short-lived news with his stop in Atlanta to have a discussion with Mayor Andre Dickens and a crowd largely comprised of black attendees to promote his new memoir, Young Man in a Hurry.
“I’m not trying to impress you,” he said, “I’m just trying to impress upon you … I’m like you, I’m no better than you. You know, I’m a 960 SAT guy,” and he continues by saying that he never reads his speeches because he “can’t read.”
