Europe, particularly the Brussels Brahmin crowd and the over-educated British elites now at the head of their disastrous Labour government, really can't stand Donald Trump.
He's worse than the stereotypical 'cowboy' - the buckaroo they have always had such fun mocking. The part they've never bothered with is taking time to study their chimerical adversary. The one who's actually on their side - just wants them to pull their own weight, although he's not averse to watching them chase their tails.

Bill Gates funds a climate change policy group called Breakthrough Energy aimed at reducing carbon emissions. The group seems to combine investments in clean energy tech as well as lobbying for public policy. This pitch for the group was posted four years ago. But as of today, Gates appears to be pulling back pretty dramatically on this one-stop climate shop. He is cutting staff here and abroad.
Dozens of staff members were cut, including Breakthrough Energy’s unit in Europe, its team in the United States working on public policy issues and most of its employees working on partnerships with other climate organizations, according to three people

Senate Democrats are dancing with the devil in the sinister form of a Schumer shutdown.
Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) announced Wednesday afternoon following a lunch with his Democrat caucus that he would reject a House-passed government plan to keep the government funded past the Friday deadline through the end of the fiscal year, September 30.
“Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path, drafting their continuing resolution without any input — any input — from congressional Democrats,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is, to put it as politely as possible, a real piece of... work. He's never seen a tax he wasn't in favor of; he defines "bipartisanship" as "Republicans do what I tell them to, and nothing more," and now he's about to shut the government down, or at least give it his best old college try. Because shutting the government down is only bad when Republicans do it. Sen. Schumer spoke (and, yes, I listened to him, so you don't have to) on the Senate floor on Wednesday about the House passing the CR:
Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort. But

Democratic strategist James Carville declared Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story” that the Trump administration was “in total meltdown.”
Carville said, “Total meltdown!’
Carville said, “I think people are afraid to death. They see markets collapsing! They see people calling Mark Kelly a traitor. They see disorder everywhere. You know, Trump was going to bring the price of eggs down from day one.”
He continued, “We can’t call the Enola Gay, the Enola Gay. I mean, what’s coming out of Washington would scare the living bejesus out of anybody, independent, Republican or Democrat. This administration is in total meltdown, in total collapse.”

Washington, DC, is riddled with parasites sucking the life out of our nation.
Time for a thorough deworming.
Jonathan Rauch, in a book by the same name, called it “demosclerosis.”
Mancur Olson, in his classic “The Rise and Decline of Nations,” called it a “web of special interests.”
I call it the “parasite class.”
All refer to a collection of bureaucrats, lobbyists, contractors, nonprofits, non-governmental organizations and connected unions and corporations that have increasingly run our federal government for their own benefit, fattening themselves with the help of diverted taxpayer dollars.
I confess that until recently, I assumed nothing could be done about these problems until an unmistakable financial collapse took place

Midterms are rarely kind to the party in power, and that's given the Democratic Party new hope as we approach another election season in 2026. But a slew of largely unexpected retirements in the Senate has breathed new life into Republican prospects of not just keeping the chamber, but expanding its majority.
As RedState reported, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) announced on Wednesday morning that she will not be seeking reelection. Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) and Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) recently made the same announcement. At least two of those three seats lean Democrat according to prognosticators like Cook Political, and you could argue Michigan

Democrats have been trying to whip up anger against President Donald Trump over the economy.
That's a pretty hypocritical move — given that Trump was left with a huge mess in that department left by Joe Biden, and the Democrats were not speaking out against Biden when he was driving inflation up. It wasn't a particularly successful narrative for anyone who has been alive for the past five years.
I've also been writing about how things have been turning around under Trump. As we reported, eggs have now dropped about $1.85 a dozen in trading prices, as the Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins explained.

My wife and I attended several days in court, near the end of the Michael Mann v. Mark Steyn and Rand Simberg trial in Washington, D.C. We witnessed a dramatic moment, when Mann’s lawyers had introduced into evidence a document, which was blown up for the jury and about which Mann testified, that contained a list of grants that Mann allegedly didn’t get as a result of the defendants’ purported defamation. The value of one of those grants, per the exhibit, was $9 million.
On cross-examination by Simberg’s lawyer, Victoria Weatherford*, it turned out that the exhibit reflected sworn interrogatory answers that had been served by Mann, but later superseded

Leftists are celebrating the drop in the stock market over the past few business days because they hope that a recession brings down Trump’s presidency. Conservatives who wish Trump well have the same view of the stock market risk, although they’re worried, not celebratory. I think the conservatives can stop worrying and the leftists can stop celebrating.
I happen to be one of those who believes that the stock market was seriously overvalued because, as happened during the Obama years, the Biden government was printing money like crazy and was churning out policies antithetical to innovation and creation.

Two months in office and sure enough, President Trump's economy today is starting to look a lot like President Trump's economy four years ago.
According to U.S. News & World Report:
Consumer prices rose 0.2% in February, or 2.8% annually, coming in below the forecasts of economists, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Wednesday.
Although housing costs rose, accounting for nearly half of the overall increase in the consumer price index, the cost of gasoline dropped 1% while the price of air fares fell 4%.
Food prices continued their upward trend, with the cost of eating out rising 0.4% in the month, while the grocery index was unchanged.

Dramatic and unexpected election results in Greenland saw long-governing legacy parties kicked out of power and more right-wing, pro-American politicians set to dominate parliament for the first time.
The provisional results for the Greenlandic elections held on Tuesday show a historic result not forecast by pollsters, with the longstanding political establishment parties punished and relegated to third and fourth positions, respectively.
The election comes amid intense discussion of Greenland’s potential independence domestically and global attention over U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated overtures to the country to become part of the United States. As things stand, Greenland is now a region of its former colonial master Denmark
