Frigid air that normally stays trapped in the Arctic has escaped, plunging deep into the United States for an extended visit that is expected to provoke teeth-chattering but not be record-shattering.
It’s a cold air outbreak that some experts say is happening more frequently, and paradoxically, because of a warming world.(snip) “There’s a climate change signal in that,” Francis said.
The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world, which means the difference between temperatures up north and down south are shrinking, Francis said. Arctic sea ice is shrinking,

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill, also a former Democratic U.S. Senator, said on Monday’s “Deadline” that she felt “bitter” President-elect Donald Trump did not pay a “higher political price” for what he did on January 6.
McCaskill said, “Well, today was certainly a bittersweet day. And, candidly, I’m bitter. I mean, I’m bitter that a higher political price wasn’t paid for what Donald Trump did on January 6. Something is broken and we need to acknowledge that. And the other thing we have to keep front of mind, Nicolle, is that Donald Trump didn’t win 50 percent of the votes. This is an evenly divided country.

Among President Trump’s promises during the 2024 campaign was to “medically discharge” transgender men and women from the U.S. military. But would Americans support such a move? A plurality of voters say no, revealing a deep political split over the issue, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
While no specific proposal has yet actually been put forward, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked this question: “News reports suggest President-elect Trump is considering an executive order to discharge all transgender service members and ban future enlistments, potentially affecting 15,000 active personnel. Do you support or oppose this plan?”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Monday sent a 33-page rant to Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth defending the Biden administration’s woke policies in the military and expressing concern that he would reverse them if confirmed.
In a letter sent to Hegseth on Tuesday and made public, Warren — who lied on teaching applications about her race — expressed concerns about Hegseth’s views opposing Marxist-based diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and wokeness in the military, and concern that he would actually implement President-elect Donald Trump’s policies at the Pentagon.

President-elect Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that he would rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
Trump revealed his vision for rebranding the gulf during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. (X Video) “We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Trump announced.
“The Gulf of America; what a beautiful name, and it’s appropriate,” Trump added. “And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.” Trump’s announcement comes as he has recently focused on nearby territories and the U.S.-constructed Panama Canal.

Joe Biden will be remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history, according to the latest Gallup poll.
While Biden and the White House seek to rewrite his legacy as someone who improved the lives of Americans and people worldwide, the American public clearly feels differently.
A majority of Americans—54 percent—believe Joe Biden will be remembered as a “below average” (37 percent) or “poor” (17 percent) president.
In contrast, only 19 percent think he will be seen as “outstanding” (6 percent) or “above average” (13 percent).
Meanwhile, 26 percent say he will be regarded as “average.”

What some see as a shot across the bow aimed at President-elect Donald Trump, Pope Francis announced Monday that left-wing Cardinal Robert McElroy of the Diocese of San Diego would be the next archbishop of Washington.
McElroy, 70, will succeed the retiring archbishop, Cardinal Wilton Gregory, 77, who shepherded the more than 600,000 Catholics who live in the nation’s capital region.
Gregory has not been afraid to oppose abortion in the public square, but angered some Catholics with his restriction on the traditional Latin Mass.

Roughly 30,000 Los Angeles residents — including celebrities — have been ordered to evacuate their homes as a wildfire engulfs the ritzy Pacific Palisades and some have stepped up to help emergency responders clear roads blocked by abandoned vehicles Tuesday.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency after touching down in the area and meeting with first responders fighting the blaze that has torched more than 2,900 acres into Tuesday night, according to CalFire.
“By no stretch of the imagination are we out of the woods,” Newsom warned as winds up to 100 mph are expected to increase overnight across the tony enclave — including regions that are “abnormally dry,”

Bubonic plague is a severe infectious and potentially fatal disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It is the most common form of plague and is primarily spread through the bite of infected fleas that typically live on rodents.
The disease, also known infamously as the Black Death, ravaged Europe from 1347 to 1351, causing between 75 million and 200 million deaths (which included about 50% of the total population in Europe at the time). Those horrifying numbers still grip the imagination.
Now, in an intriguing development, COVID-19 vaccine scientists have developed a new shot that would protect against Yersinia pestis infections.

The Washington Post lost more than $70 million dollars last year and rather than trying a course correction, they doubled down on woke. One of their cartoonists recently resigned because Jeff Bezos nixed her anti-Trump cartoon that also criticized her own paper.
Now the paper is laying off dozens of staffers. It turns out decisions have consequences.
Like many other liberal media outlets, the Washington Post has become a captive of their most far left readers. They can’t triangulate politically because they would lose the last group of readers that they have left.

Los Angeles-area firefighters claim they are running out of water as they battle the growing wildfires in the area.
"The hydrants are down," one firefighter said over the radio, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"Water supply just dropped," reported another one.
Former LA mayoral hopeful and billionaire developer Rick Caruso backed the claims made by the first responders as his staff reported to him from the Palisades Village in the Westside neighborhood.
"There's no water in the fire hydrants," Caruso told the outlet. "The firefighters are there and there's nothing they can do — we've got neighborhoods burning, homes burning, and businesses burning. ... It should never happen."
