In the era of disinformation, obscurantists reject not only scientific evidence but also the progress of multilateralism.... They attack institutions, science, and universities. It is time to once again defeat the denialists." — Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, November 10, 2025.
Get it? Those who disagree with the UN and WEF agendas on climate change, regardless of their scientific credentials, are "denialists" who must be "defeated."The United Nations is trying to control what people can hear, read and think about climate change just when social media companies like Meta are reversing their years-long policy of 'fact-checking,' climate change policy debate—which Meta admits resulted in censorship...
The following is an eyewitness account from a young Iranian woman based in Tehran, who does not want to be identified for safety reasons. She has been cut off from contact with the outside world since the Iranian government instituted a media blackout, but on Monday briefly managed to receive messages from The Post. Over several hours, with a very patchy connection, she shared a harrowing — but hopeful — account of what is happening on the ground right now. Here are her words:
“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.”
That’s a quote often attributed (perhaps incorrectly) to Vladimir Lenin — but whoever said it first, it’s certainly true of the last week or so.
Just look at the headlines.
In Iran, the mullahs who have ruled since 1979 are collapsing in the face of widespread popular revolt.
For nearly all of the 47 years since Jimmy Carter allowed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to take power in the fallacious belief that it would somehow advance the cause of human rights, Iran has been a major rival to the United States in the region and around the world.
President Trump on Tuesday threatened to take “very strong action” against the Iranian regime if anti-government protesters are executed.
“I haven’t heard about the hanging. If they hang ’em, you’re gonna see some things that – I don’t know what you’re – where you come from and what your thought process is, but you’ll perhaps be very happy,” Trump told “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil during an interview in Detroit.
When Dokoupil asked the president to clarify what he meant, Trump responded: “If they do such a thing, we will take very strong action.” More than 2,000 Iranians have been killed amid the regime’s brutal crackdown on protesters,
Ford workers cheered President Donald Trump during his visit to an F-150 plant in Dearborn, Michigan, on Tuesday. Workers erupted in applause as Trump made his way through the factory. The president heard from some workers and took selfies with several of them.
Trump inspected assembly operations during the tour, including a “stop at a station which is called the ‘body decker,’ where the truck gets put together” and another “where a team installs hose connections,” per the White House press pool, citing Ford spokespeople.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday elbowed its way into the debate over President Donald Trump’s effort to acquire Greenland, slamming the U.S. for “using other countries as an excuse for pursuing its own selfish interests.” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning was responding to a reporter who quoted Trump saying that if America does not acquire Greenland, “Russia or China will.” The Arctic bears on the common interests of the international community. China’s activities in the Arctic are aimed at promoting the peace, stability, and sustainable development of the region. They are in line with international law,” Mao responded.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon - maybe even as early as Monday — is "ten times worse" than the "Quality Learing Center" daycare scam.
In Shirley's previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years. And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise.
Hoch says the new video will show that most of these companies are Somali-owned, and his and Shirley's visit to these companies found zero—
Since its founding, presidents, vice presidents, and other senior government officials have relied on the United States Secret Service (USSS) to provide security for them and, if needed, their families. The USSS has, for the most part, done their best, regardless of the personal opinions of agents. That's how an organization like this should - must - work. So when an agent betrays that trust, it's all the more hateful. But that is precisely what James O'Keefe seems to have uncovered, in the form of a USSS agent on the detail of Vice President JD Vance,
President Donald Trump channeled the late, great former First Lady Nancy Reagan in his not-so-subtle message that the gravy train is over for Democrats leading sanctuary states and cities, ending federal funding for illegal immigration. Speaking in Michigan on Tuesday, President Trump addressed members of the Detroit Economic Club about issues facing his administration, including the recent massive child care welfare fraud scandal uncovered in Minnesota under Democrat Governor Tim Walz’s leadership, and his next move to end federal payments to places like California, where Governor Gavin Newsom put illegal aliens' lives ahead of American citizens.
Zohran Mamdani’s tenant advocate, or housing czar, Cea Weaver apparently used to teach a course at New York University, but the school appears to be scrubbing their website of any mentions of her.
The school is claiming that it’s because Weaver has been facing harassment over her communist ideas like collectivizing housing.
Would the school have to do this if her ideas were popular or even just sane?

President Trump’s impromptu remarks from inside the Ford F150 plant will probably not make headline news because, well, quite frankly, what President Trump says below is something the financial media just don’t want to discuss.
This is really an important point. In the era where information is skewed based on the interests of the organization sharing the information, government or private sector media, it is extremely valuable to just listen to what President Trump says directly. In comments such as this brief segment below, you can see exactly where he is going with manufacturing and trade policy.

One of the most maddening things about the mainstream media is their deliberate word choices in describing people or things that have happened or allegedly happened, with the goal of crafting a specific narrative, and usually one that lines up with leftist talking points on any given issue.
We saw it, for instance, in many of the stories about illegal immigrant and suspected MS-13 gang member and accused domestic abuser Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom the press often sympathetically referred to as a "Maryland father" in either the headlines, promos, or the opening paragraphs of their stories on his deportation to El Salvador

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump was consulting with his national security team Tuesday about next steps with Iran as he looked to get a better understanding of the number of Iranian citizens who have been killed and arrested in more than two weeks of unrest throughout the country.
Trump said he believes that the killing is “significant” and that his administration would “act accordingly.” He added that he believed the Iranian government was “badly misbehaving.”
But the president said he has yet to receive a confirmed number of Iranians killed in the protests that began late last month,
Crude oil prices rose more than 2% on Tuesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump canceled all meetings with Iranian officials and promised protesters that help is on the way.
U.S. crude
oil rose $1.65, or 2.77%, to close at $61.15 per barrel. Global benchmark Brent
gained $1.60, or 2.51%, to settle at $65.47 per barrel.
The Islamic Republic’s security forces have cracked down on large-scale demonstrations with hundreds of people reportedly dead. The government has cut off Internet access in Iran, making it difficult to verify how the situation is evolving on the ground.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene
Faith leaders, union representatives and community members are calling for a Day of Truth and Freedom on Friday, Jan. 23 — urging all Minnesotans not to go to work, school or go shopping in response to Operation Metro Surge. Organizers held a news conference Tuesday morning outside of the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis to announce the statewide day of mourning and action. It comes amid ongoing tensions over the federal law enforcement surge in Minnesota that escalated after ICE officer Jonathan Ross fatally shot 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Good last week. Auxiliary Minister JaNaé Bates Imari of
I don’t think anyone would confuse Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson with a sharp legal mind. She often comes across as the poster child for what’s wrong with DEI hires. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Little v. Hecox, a case that will likely decide whether laws barring biological males from competing on girls’ sports teams are constitutional. Given that Jackson famously admitted during her confirmation hearings that she didn’t know what a woman was — because, as she put it, she’s “not a biologist” — you knew she was bound to be a real spectacle.
Politically, we have a firestorm brewing. In Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot and killed a protester. In Portland, ICE shot two more, this time in a felony traffic stop. As I write this, Law Dork reports protests in DC demanding “STOP ICE TERROR NOW.”
On the opposite side, we have DHS Secretary Noem calling the actions of the protesters in Minneapolis “domestic terrorism,” and VP Vance clearly outlining the facts indicating that the shooting was, in police parlance, “a good shoot” in self-defense. The cherry on top of this fecal sundae is Minnesota Governor Walz’s assignment of the Minnesota National Guard to “assist Minneapolis police.” One must wonder just what sort
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is upgrading her Los Angeles real estate portfolio, trading one celebrity-soaked neighborhood for another.
Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff recently dropped a little over $8 million ($8.15 million) on a 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Point Dume, a neighborhood in Malibu that’s home to a who’s who of both Hollywood and — more recently — Silicon Valley power players, the California Post has learned. In recent weeks several Point Dume residents have spotted Emhoff strolling through the neighborhood which rests on a 63-acre promontory perched above one of California’s most famous and exclusive beaches known as Little Dume.

A Maryland Democratic legislator is proposing a measure to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers hired during the second Trump administration from joining state police.
The measure by Delegate Adrian Boafo is titled the ICE Breaker Act of 2026 and will be introduced when the General Assembly returns for the new session next week, according to local NBC affiliate News4.
“Everywhere I go in my district, folks are asking, what are we going to do about ICE?” Boafo said. “There’s only so much the state can do, but you know what I could do? Make sure that those ICE officers never have a job here in the state of Maryland.
Americans who remember how an incident in Minneapolis six yeas ago plunged the whole country into a summer of rioting -- then years of elevated criminal violence -- should think carefully about where the protests over the death of Renee Good are leading. Like the killing of George Floyd, Good's tragedy is being exploited for a political purpose with the radical activists (snip) demanding an end to (snip) not only the agency, ICE, but the enforcement of the nation's democratically enacted immigration laws. It's the protesters veto, an assertion by activists of a right to cancel laws they don't like.
Los Angeles County is considering designating ICE-free zones as a response to the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
The proposal comes from Los Angeles County Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Hilda Solis, who sit on a board that governs the county. The plan is for an ordinance to be drafted and brought before the board in 30 days.
Speaking during Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, Horvath said, “Our federal government is killing its own citizens” in broad daylight and in front of witnesses and cameras. "People have been shot; people have been killed; families have been shattered,” said Horvath.
Dilbert creator Scott Adams passed away on Tuesday after a battle with prostate cancer.
He was 68 years old.
In addition to the Dilbert comic strip, Adams has a podcast dubbed, “Coffee With Scott Adams,” where he often voiced his support for President Trump.
Adams was one of the first people to predict a Trump 2016 victory.
Last year Adams revealed he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer that spread to his bones. He said he had months to live. (snip) “I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and look forward to spending an eternity with Him,” Adams said in his final message before he passed away.
It’s interesting that our liberal friends are all fainting this week because of the death of Renee Nicole Good on January 7 at the hands of an ICE agent during a “peaceful protest” where she was using her SUV to block ICE operations. Almost exactly five years ago on January 6 our liberal friends had no problem with a Capitol police officer shooting Ashli Babbit as she climbed unarmed through a broken window into the Capitol in an “armed insurrection” against the United States government.
What is going on with our liberal friends training divorced mothers of three to engage in protest against ICE agents searching for illegal aliens
Federal prosecutors have charged a Maryland man with orchestrating a years-long theft scheme inside the U.S. House of Representatives, alleging he stole hundreds of government-issued cell phones and sold them for personal profit.
The findings of this case were revealed by the Department of Justice on Monday.
Christopher Southerland, 43, of Glen Burnie, was arrested Friday after a federal indictment was unsealed in U.S. District Court, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. Authorities said the stolen devices were worth more than $150,000.
According to the indictment, Southerland worked as a system administrator for the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure from April 2020 through July 2023.
