Study: Climate Change Hysteria Doesn’t

A report released Monday by USC’s Understanding America Study (UAS) suggests the use of hyperbolic terms to describe global warming has no effect on people’s perceptions of the urgency of climate change. The study notes that climate crusaders like the UK’s Guardian newspaper have officially opted for expressions like “climate crisis” and “climate emergency” in an attempt to raise concern and convey urgency, yet it would seem that such efforts are in vain. “Instead of ‘climate change’ the preferred terms are ‘climate emergency, crisis or breakdown’ and ‘global heating’ is favoured over ‘global warming,’ although the original terms are not banned,” the Guardian stated in 2019

Weathermen in Oklahoma City are nuts. It barely hits the 90's lately but we are being told there is a heat index of 102-109. Heat index is a made up number. If the temperature is 90 degrees, then that's what it is, nothing more. But heat index sounds scary and convinces the feeble minded that we are having global warming. Weather is always changing. Humans have nothing to do with it.

The climatistas have been doing this for years. You have one side that are generally fools who can't use common sense and the other side that sees the opportunity for power and/or money. They will gin up some scare scenarios and when that doesn't excite us flyover rubes, they ramp it up a notch. Lately it's been said that the oceans will boil but it won't be because of climate change...it will be because Biden's feckless foreign affairs fumbling will have nukes doing the boiling.

The "Environmental Movement" is the new home of Marxists who use the environment to attack free market capitalism. It has nothing to do with the environment. Notice that all the actions advocated by environmentalists either make free market capitalism less efficient, or more costly to operating, and often, both.

Democrats will tell you they are excited about Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. The delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, this week kept talking about how much fun they were having and how much “joy” they were feeling. Democrats who watched the speeches on television gushed about how amazing they were. Some of those feelings were real. But remember: that’s how Democrats feel, not how other Americans feel. The convention, objectively, was not so great.

Maura Healey (D) responded to criticism that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t solved the inflation problem during her tenure as Vice President by stating that she’ll “continue to lead as Vice President,” and will “be out there talking about the things that she’s going to do for people.” Host Kaitlan Collins asked, “[S]he was…talking about a more secure border, talking about tamping down inflation, housing prices, what voters are dealing with.

Donald Trump is riding high after Democrats’ failure to utilize the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to springboard Vice President Kamala Harris’s struggling campaign. The emboldened Republican nominee even stole President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris’s trademark one-word campaign slogans in laying out his American agenda and calling to arms the crowd to vote for him in November. “Everyone will prosper, every family will thrive, and every day will be filled with joy and opportunity and hope, but for that to happen, we must defeat Kamala Harris,” Trump told the crowd near the end of his remarks. “We must stop her country-destroying liberal agenda once and for all,”

Earlier, Ed wrote about the way in which the media seems to have gone all in on what could be described as the Empty Suit Campaign. Harris has said almost nothing specific about her plans and has given no interviews and yet most of the media seems thrilled to report this vacuous campaign as a triumph of good vibes. She's the change candidate. The joy candidate. And that's enough for most of them. Today I noticed a couple of mildly critical pieces over at the NY Times. Here's one titled "Harris Faces Challenge of Translating Convention Joy to Fall Momentum." Vice President Kamala Harris emerged

Last night, Kamala Harris repeatedly asserted that she would "chart a new course," or "chart a new way forward." For that, one would expect a chart or two. Harris competently delivered a well-received but nearly substance-free acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. At 37 minutes, give or take, it ran long enough for the occasion without tiring the audience, in the hall or on television. And mirablile dictu, we never got the ubiquitous Harris incantation, "what we can be, unburdened by what has been." Which in this case was rather ironic, since at least a third or more of Harris' speech was devoted to what has been -- her "personal story."

Thursday night, Kamala Harris took the stage in a blue pantsuit to accept her party's nomination for President of the United States. The excited audience kept chanting "Kamala" and "USA"; she thanked them and said, "We got to get to some business! Thank you all." According to Politico, Vice President Kamala Harris planned to lean into her personal biography, and that is what she did. While mention was made of her father Donald Harris, it was her mother Shyamala Gopalan's "values" that Harris constantly referred to as her guiding principles throughout her speech. As I wrote throughout this four-day-long, DNC reinvention fest, everything from the single-mother schtick

It remains to be seen what the Ukrainian invasion of Russia will accomplish on the battlefield or how long it will even last. Nevertheless, there are some signs that the invasion is causing some Russians, and not just the ones currently being evacuated from their homes, to turn on President Putin. While news outlets in Russia have tried to put a more positive spin on the developments in the war, focusing on the Russian government’s humanitarian response, some Russian social media users have expressed discontent. Many of the online postings, according to the analysis by FilterLabs AI, say Ukraine’s advance is a failure of the Russian government

CARACAS - Venezuela's Supreme Justice Tribunal on Thursday ratified President Nicolas Maduro's victory in the July 28 presidential election, sealing institutional backing for the ruling party as the disputed contest fades from international headlines. Since the vote and deadly anti-government protests which followed, Maduro's administration has conducted what the opposition, human rights groups and unions have characterized as a crackdown on dissent. The actions have included arrests of opposition figures and protesters, an investigation into opposition leaders for allegedly inciting the military to commit crimes, the passage of a law tightening rules on NGOs, and forced resignations of state employees allegedly espousing pro-opposition views.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday that he was suspending his campaign - with a twist. Kennedy pushed supporters who live in 10 swing states to back Republican nominee Donald Trump, but said his name would remain on the ballots on traditional red or blue states. 'I would like everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign, I am simply suspending it,' Kennedy said in Arizona on Friday. In long-winded remarks, Kennedy said he was withdrawing from the race in swing states because, 'I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues.'

The Nashville natives, who created a firestorm of controversy 20 years ago over criticism of George W. Bush and the Iraq War, were a highly-anticipated get for the DNC on its final night. However, their performance of the Star-Spangled Banner was almost universally slammed, even by fans of the band formerly known as 'The Dixie Chicks' before dropping the d-word in 2020.

With multiple reports confirming speculation that Vice President Kamala Harris will back President Biden’s tax hike plan, reactions have started pouring in from prominent figures in political and economic circles. "It would be devastating to the economy," former CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder said Thursday on "The Evening Edit." "You're going to give up revenue, you're going to lose companies. We're going to lose business," he continued. "You need to understand, a 25% increase in unrealized capital gains means, theoretically at least, if your house goes up in price, in value, the government can step in and say: give me the money,”

Mark Geragos argued during a hearing in a Los Angeles federal courtroom that special counsel David Weiss’s effort to introduce evidence of Hunter’s seedy spending while avoiding paying $1.4 million in taxes is nothing more than “character assassination” and shouldn’t be allowed. “They want to slime him because that is the whole purpose,” Geragos told federal Judge Mark Scarsi. “It’s actually a form of character assassination,"

Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff is a “progressive sex symbol,” according to The Washington Post. The Post has long had a reputation as one of the Democratic Party’s most influential media propagandists. Yet this latest headline on its website takes that impression to the next level. According to opinion writer Catherine Rampell, Emhoff has earned the title of “progressive sexy symbol” because he is “secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
