causes global warming

A scientist is calling for Americans to cut off air conditioning after refusing to use it for 25 years during the throes of the summer in order to combat climate change. Stan Cox is an Ecosphere Fellow at the Land Institute who also believes the U.S. military is an "enemy" to mitigating climate change. He wrote a guest essay in the New York Times on Saturday, "I Swore Off Air-Conditioning, and You Can, Too," claiming that "air-conditioning is making our summers even hotter" due to climate change.

The Harris-Walz campaign has hired liberal activist the Rev. Jennifer Butler to be its new head of faith outreach, with Butler confirming the appointment on social media and in an interview with Religion News Service.
Butler is a longtime liberal activist who argued in 2022 that White supremacists have "hijacked" the Christian faith, and has said that faith calls us to "resist." She is the founder of the nonprofit Faith in Public Life, which claims to advance the "moral imperative for a just, inclusive and equitable country." She now runs a campaign seeking to root out White nationalism within the Christian faith.
The FBI’s “alarming” use of general warrants to scoop up the private location data of the devices of thousands of people on Jan. 6, 2021, was a violation of the Fourth Amendment that enabled an illegal four-acre dragnet to generate criminal charges without probable cause, defense attorneys argue in federal court filings.
In the wake of the protests and violence at the U.S. Capitol, the FBI served search warrants on technology giant Google Inc. and telecommunication companies, including AT&T.
London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well.
"We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.
The federal government is spending $1.7 billion to modernize automobile manufacturing facilities, helping the industry compete with foreign subsidies and create and protect jobs.
As part of the Automotive Community Benefits Plan, the current administration will extend grants to 11 selected manufacturing plants in eight states, including in Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, that have temporarily closed or were at risk of closing.

It’s been called “embarrassing,” but it’s so much more than that. Even the Washington Post had to acknowledge it.
“A viral post on X shared by the account @EndofWokeness appeared to show [Google’s] Gemini, which competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, responding to a prompt for ‘a portrait of a Founding Father of America’ with images of a Native American man in a traditional headdress, a Black man, a darker-skinned non-White man and an Asian man, all in colonial-era garb.”
There was a major problem with the 2020 Census, and most people probably haven’t heard about it, even though it has enormous implications. At the end of May, the Census Bureau admitted that it miscounted 14 states in the 2020 Census.
Why didn’t the media make a big stink about this story? Maybe it was overshadowed by the recent mass shootings, that’s certainly a possibility, but I have another theory.
Here are the states that the Census acknowledged it overcounted: Hawaii, Delaware, Rhode Island, Minnesota, New York, and Massachusetts.
Here are the states that the Census acknowledged it undercounted: Texas, Illinois, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate, an illegal immigrant who was acquitted of murder in the 2015 shooting death of Kate Steinle, was sentenced to the seven years he has already spent behind bars on Monday after pleading guilty to federal weapons charges earlier this year.
The 51-year-old Mexican national will now be transported to Texas to face charges for failing to report his location to immigration officials in a separate case.

but suspect is Black 19 replies
The chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) blamed White supremacy for last week's shooting at a Dallas Korean hair salon, but the suspect charged with carrying out the attack is Black.
Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, made the claim at a Thursday press conference outside the Capitol that saw House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in attendance.
The differences in coverage of crimes in America have never been more glaring. Heavily biased corporate media plays favorites, as they always have, but today’s Mainstream Media Industrial Complex has taken a full-blown suppress-or-amplify approach to the news that is both despicable and destructive. They suppress anything that defies their narrative and they amplify anything that supports it.

The suspect who allegedly shot and killed 10 people and injured three more at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket on Saturday may have planned the attack for months, officials said Sunday, while a manifesto that was apparently written by the man said he chose Buffalo because of the state’s stringent gun laws and used an illegally modified rifle to carry out the attack.
Senior Biden adviser Cedric Richmond will depart the White House to work for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) next month, Fox News has confirmed. Richmond served as the director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, and also as a senior adviser to President Biden. He will take an advisory role at the DNC starting in May, a Biden adviser told Fox News. "I am thrilled that the President has entrusted me with helping boost the robust work already being done at the DNC to make sure that Democrats grow their majorities in the House and Senate, and increase the number of Democratic governors in state capitals around the country," CORRECTION *

Kamala Harris has already signaled that she is coming for our guns. She called mandatory gun confiscation “a great idea” that she’d do by executive action within her “first 100 days.” [Tweet, video]
Top Harris surrogate, far-left Georgia Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock, appeared on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker on Sunday morning to endorse this overt attack on Americans.
Despite Democrat water carrier Welker uncharacteristically pushing Warnock for an answer, he did the Democratic politician shuffle and refused to be pinned down to a simple, clear yes or no answer.
Kristen Welker: Should she also be, in your opinion, supporting a mandatory gun buyback program?
Liberals have hit out at Donald Trump after he vowed to prosecute election 'cheaters' if he wins in November. The former president threatened to target, 'lawyers, political operatives, donors, illegal voters and corrupt election officials' in a rant on Truth Social.

Beep When Traveling 10 Miles Over the
Speed Limit 18 replies
For a state built on the selling point of unlimited freedom, California sure has a lot of authoritarians making laws.
The state legislature passed a bill that requires all cars built after 2030 to give a beep when the driver exceeds the speed limit by 10 MPH. Violations of the law wouldn't carry just a fine. The state would consider speeding 10 MPH over the limit a crime.
California state Sen. Scott Wiener was surprised by the vicious pushback from citizens to the bill. However, the current language of the bill has been modified considerably from the original text.
Every state is a border state under the Biden-Harris Administration—even a small town in Ohio with a population of just 56,000.
Springfield, Ohio, is making headlines after it was reported that illegal immigrants— specifically Haitian immigrants, are overrunning the small town. Springfield City Commission officials say an estimated 4,000 to 7,000 Haitians have arrived in recent years.
During a City Commission meeting last year, community members warned of an invasion of Haitians and the crime they would bring— and they weren’t wrong.
This week, a Springfield resident told the mayor that she "can't take it anymore,”

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced it flew banners over college football games in an attempt to tie former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) to Project 2025.
In a press release on Saturday, the DNC announced banners with messages that read, “JD Vance <3 Ohio State + Project 2025,” and “Penn St: Beat Trump, Sack Project 2025,” had been flown over football games at the University of Michigan and Pennsylvania State University. Another banner, with the message, “Jump Around! Beat Trump + Project 2025,” was also set to be “flown over” the football game at the University of Wisconsin.

Ceasefire Push 15 replies
A group of Hollywood celebrities — including Disney-Marvel star Mark Ruffalo, HBO’s Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon, and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali — is claiming that arms exports to Israel are “illegal” as part of their latest push for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The stars co-signed a new call to action from the group Artists for Ceasefire that alleges that the shipment of arms to Israel violates U.S. and international law because Israel engages in what it called “grave human rights violations.”
Among those alleged violations are “striking schools or hospitals, restricting humanitarian aid, and killing children,” the organization said.
True the Vote the first citizen voter integrity group in the 21st century, was started by Catherine Engelbrecht in 2009. At the time, she had been managing a manufacturing plant that supplied parts to the oil and gas industry in Texas for eleven years. Interviewed last month Patriots with Grit, she explained, “I had never been interested in politics, but after ‘09, I found government was everywhere, my kids school, health care, oil and gas, regulations out of control. How could citizens engage?”
Engelbrecht hasn’t been out of court one day since 09, and the pretty blond country club woman today has the stripped down looks of a real fighter.
If you’re familiar with my background with blogging, you know that twenty years ago, I ran a blog called Blogs For Bush to support the Bush-Cheney ticket. I wouldn't be here at PJ Media today had it not been for that experience. So, it was particularly crushing to learn that former Vice President Dick Cheney has endorsed Kamala Harris. "In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," Cheney said in a statement. "He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.
Tim Walz Got Caught Lying Again

It's Friday, so obviously there's another Tim Walz claim from his biography we have discovered is a lie. According to a new report, the latest fiction from Walz involves his academic credentials. Despite his claims of almost becoming “Dr. Walz,” official records paint a different picture.
"As recently as 2011, Tim Walz claimed in official biographies for his campaign and congressional office that he was on the verge of completing a doctorate in education, a decade after he enrolled in a doctorate program at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in the small town of Winona," reports The Washington Free Beacon. "The university, however, told the Washington Free Beacon
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) made headlines recently for endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, with her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, doing the same just a few days later. On Friday, the former congresswoman made another endorsement, this time in the U.S. Senate race for Texas. While speaking at an event for the Texas Tribune, Cheney endorsed Rep. Colin Allred, the Democrat running against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in November.
"Here in Texas, you guys do have a tremendous, serious candidate running for the United States Senate," Cheney said, referring to Allred. "I'll be working on his behalf."
Former President George W. Bush has made an announcement about the 2024 presidential election in November - but he's taking a less prominent stance than his vice president.
Bush, a Republican who served from 2001 to 2009, said in a statement Saturday that he has no plans to make a public endorsement or voice how he or his wife Laura will be voting.
'He retired from presidential politics many years ago,' the spokesman said, who did not wish to be named.The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard

MSNBC wants people to ditch Twitter/X. One of their columnists is even urging people to take ‘collective action’ to get people to stop using the application. In the process, the writer takes multiple unfair shots at Elon Musk.
It’s a good thing Musk bought Twitter. He brought free speech back to the social media site and the left will never forgive him for it.
In a way, this is just like the ongoing tantrum the left is throwing about the U.S. Supreme Court. They are angry at Twitter/X because they no longer control it.

Better idea: cut off this "scientist's" funding year round. It'll save money and have exactly the same effect (none) on the climate.
