On Musk Derangement Syndrome: |
|
| |
"In this age of rage, it is common for people to become the very thing that they despise in others, jettisoning their most cherished values to strike out at those they hate.
"Since the election, Democrats have shown that very self-destructive quality of rage in adopting anti-immigrant, anti-free speech, anti-labor, and even anti-environmental positions to get at Donald Trump or his supporters.
"It consumes every part of a person. It is addictive, and it is contagious. What these rage addicts will not admit, however, is that they like it; they need it.
"That was evident this week in New York, where democratic legislators are again moving to weaponize state laws for political purposes -- just like they did with Trump.
"This time, they are targeting Elon Musk, whose dealerships, charging stations, and customers have been hit by political violence from the left."

On Removing Inactive, Ineligible and Deceased Voters from State Voter Rolls: |
|
| |
"Two Republican-led states have removed hundreds of thousands of registrations from their voter rolls this month, while another identified hundreds of non-citizen voters during their voter list maintenance.
"Collectively, the GOP-led states of Idaho and Missouri took nearly 300,000 registrations off their voter rolls after finding inactive, ineligible, or deceased voters, in addition to duplicates and voters who moved. Iowa identified nearly 300 non-citizens on the state's voter rolls and referred them to the Iowa attorney general.
"President Donald Trump issued an executive order on election integrity last week, offering assistance to states on maintaining voter rolls. 'To identify unqualified voters registered in the States: the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, ensure that State and local officials have, without the requirement of the payment of a fee, access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered,' the executive order reads."

On the New York Times' Rebuke of the Democratic Party: |
|
| |
"The New York Times editorial board just discovered what conservatives have been saying for years: the Democratic Party is completely out of touch with everyday Americans.
It's a stunning rebuke from a paper that typically carries the water for Dems. The Times finally admitted the obvious: Democrats' obsession with identity politics and their 'scolding, censorious posture' have driven voters straight into Republicans' arms.
'In the aftermath of this comprehensive defeat, many party leaders have decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their messages,' the editorial board writes. 'They have instead settled on a convenient explanation for their plight.'"

On the Signal Controversy Via X: |
|
| |
"Seriously
"You think that Jeffrey Goldberg got added to a high-level national security conversation by chance? Maybe you thought Covid was from the wet market and not from the lab that was right there and contained Covid-like viruses.
"The chance that this was done by an operative looking to embarrass the administration is about 90 per cent. The chance someone added him because they were looking for another Jeffrey is about 10 percent.
"This was a security breach but most likely one by a partisan trying to undermine the administration than by the participants on the chain. I'm not a conspiracy theorist -- I just play the odds and the odds it was an innocent mistake are low and deliberate act are high. Of course, though, I'm waiting for the final answer."

On Senate Democrats' Denial About the Censorship Industrial Complex: |
|
| |
"Democrats had a tough time at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing yesterday on the censorship industrial complex.
"They had to argue there was never any censorship during the Biden administration (including during Covid!) and that free speech and freedom of the press were never threatened by the partnership of government agencies with private institutions to combat 'disinformation.' After all, the government was just trying to catch foreign disinformation operations, they argued, so any censorship that did happen was necessary and proper.
"Put another way, the censorship industrial complex never happened -- and if it did it was a good thing and the targets deserved it."

On the Media Hiding the Ball When It Comes to the Trump Administration’s Immigration Crackdown: |
|
| |
"Few things are so unhelpful as the journalist who buries the lede.
"There has been a lot of that lately, especially insofar as the Trump administration's mmigration crackdown is concerned.
"Take, for example, the case of the Georgetown University researcher arrested in Virginia last week over his alleged ties to terrorism. Badar Khan Suri reportedly spread Hamas propaganda online while having 'close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas,' according to the Department of Homeland Security.
"This is pretty serious stuff, which is why the coverage has been so maddening. In most reports, the allegations against Suri are buried so deep as to be next to the dinosaur bones."

Reporting On the Associate Press Withdrawing a Story Claiming Tulsi Gabbard Said President Trump And Putin Were ‘Very Good Friends’: |
|
| |
"The Associated Press (AP) retracted a story Tuesday claiming that U.S. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard publicly referred to President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as 'very good friends.'
"The outlet withdrew its story titled, 'Gabbard Says Trump And Putin Are "Very Good Friends" Focused On Strengthening Ties,' before publishing a correction clarifying that Gabbard was referring to Trump's friendship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the AP announced.
"'This story was updated on Mar. 17, 2025, to delete erroneous reporting that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin "are very good friends,"' the AP wrote in an editor's note at the bottom of the story.
"A spokesperson for the AP told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the initial report was removed from their site because 'it did not meet [their] standards.'"

On Fossil Fuels Continuing to Be Our Dominant Energy Source: |
|
| |
"While the legacy media often reports that the world is rapidly transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy, a new report from J.P. Morgan shows that narrative is simply not correct. Since 2010, $9 trillion has been spent globally on wind, solar, electric vehicles energy storage, electrification and power grids, but despite this expensive effort -- mostly at taxpayer expense -- the share of final energy consumption by carbon-free energy sources is advancing by approximately a scant 0.3% to 0.6% per year.
"Michael Cembalest, Chairman of Market and Investment Strategy for J.P. Morgan, explains in 'Helliocentrism,' the 15th annual energy paper by the investment firm, that the reason fossil fuels remain the dominant source of energy is that modern prosperity is tied to certain kinds of industrial products, including chemicals, steel, cement, food and paper. Approximately 80% of the energy inputs for these products are fossil fuels. JPMorgan Chase is the world's fifth largest bank by total assets, with $3.9 trillion as of 2023.
"'As things stand now, modern prosperity is highly reliant on fossil fuels,' Cembalest said in a podcast on the report. Dr. Roger Pielke, Jr., retired professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, estimates on his 'The Honest Broker' Substack that at the current pace, the world will not be carbon free until sometime after the year 2200."

On How Taxpayers are Subsidizing a Columbia University Professor Who Marched in Pro-Hamas Demonstrations on Campus: |
|
| |
"American taxpayers are subsidizing a Columbia University professor who marched in pro-Hamas demonstrations on campus.
"Neuropsychologist Jennifer J. Manly participated in a human blockade to prevent administrators from dismantling the unauthorized encampments last April.
"In photos taken of the event, Manly is visible wearing an orange vest and standing with fellow Columbia professors as they marched for Gaza, in front of banners reading 'Demilitarize education' and 'Palestine is Everywhere'; others called for financial boycott of and divestment from Israel.
"According to the National Institutes of Health and other publicly accessible databases, Manly has been named in connection with over $100 million in grants over the past 20 years."
