“Dick’s Sporting Goods publicly aligns itself with the spirit of Title IX, which was written to protect biological females. But Dick’s also partners with groups that prioritize males identifying as females ahead of biological females," the Free Enterprise Project's Curtis Hill will say at tomorrow's meeting.

"This creates a clear contradiction."

If Californians don't like increases in home insurance costs because of wildfires, maybe they should vote for politicians that take wildfire prevention seriously vs., say, Karen Bass who, despite warnings, jetted off to Africa just ahead of the biggest wildfire disaster in history. Just sayin'.

Not mentioned by the Washington Post editorial board: The current US measles outbreak began in Mexico in 2024 and came north through Joe Biden's open border. The MMR is safe but if we can't all agree on that, the least we can do is to control the border, especially with respect to communicable disease.

Three things Paul Greenberg gets wrong about DDT in the NYTimes:

"We’ve effectively banned DDT — a pesticide that nearly emptied the skies of hawks, falcons and even the bald eagle."

Reality:

1. Great bird populations declined sharply due to hunting, egg collecting and human encroachment long before DDT was first used in the US (late-1940s).

2. Great bird populations actually began rebounding during peak use of DDT (early-1960s) because the hunting and egg collecting were banned.

3. There is no scientific evidence that typical levels of DDT in the environment thinned eggshells or otherwise harmed bird populations.

Once again the Forest Service is unable to follow its own management plans to deal with beetle outbreaks and wildfire fuels to lessen the risk of catastrophic wildfire to Montana towns. Why? Endless NGO lawsuits. This time it’s the Helena Lewis and Clark National Forest looking to fulfill its management plan, blocked by NGOs like the “Native Ecosystems Council” and the “Alliance for the Wild Rockies.”

I’m going to try and give an overview here without getting too far in the weeds. The Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) grizzly bear recovery (these are the Glacier National Park grizzlies) plan under the Endangered Species Act has what are called “recovery targets” within specific designated “recovery zones” so according to federal law we need to hit certain numbers in certain areas before species can be delisted (Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is another example of a recovery zone, and the GYE/NCDE are the two largest and most successful recoveries of the 6).

The NCDE grizzlies met their federal recovery targets years ago using indicators like females with cubs, mortality, etc. The lawsuit in this article is about habitat that falls *outside* of the recovery zones, where the federal recovery plans themselves note that protections will obviously need to be weaker since humans live there.

In 2017, the Fish and Wildlife Service tried to delist GYE grizzlies since recovery targets had been met many times over. Judges sided with activist NGOs who said we cant delist GYE grizzlies because of emerging genetic science on “connectivity.” Meaning we need gene flow between GYE and NCDE and delisting one could cause genetic bottlenecks in the other. The main NGOs were the usual cast of characters Earthjustice, the Center for Biological Diversity, Wild Earth Guardians, the Sierra Club, and some of the NGOs in this lawsuit today.

Now this CSD article is talking about how, as part of recovery plans, grizzly populations also have required acreage of what’s called “secure habitat” or habitat that’s devoid of roads, clearcut, etc. This number is 2500 acres for one bear and it’s meant only to apply *within* the recovery zones. Well, after the 2017 delisting attempt and other NGO lawsuits, connectivity between the recovery zones is now being held to strict standards that used to be reserved for the recovery zones. Then, on their way out, Biden tried listing all grizzlies as one population unit meaning none can be delisted without the others. This is in limbo with resolution expected by this Christmas.

This essentially would mean that GYE and NCDE bears cannot be delisted until the Northern Cascade bears recolonize in about 50-100 years from now even though recovery targets were met. Obviously this admin will table that. These NGOs want to keep bears listed forever and they want to use strict ESA protections to prohibit any American-style of wildlife management. American-style wildlife management famously includes the use of “axe, cow, plow, fire, and gun” per the inventor of the field, Aldo Leopold. The NGOs and their lawfare campaigns run completely anathema to how we manage species. All bankrolled by coastal foundations thousands of miles away.

The major take away of this is the Forest Service is trying to do fire mitigation over a 20 year project (80% of the project is fire/fuel treatment), with some commercial timber harvest here and there. It’s mostly to stop a major wildfire. You can see this in the map, but the NGOs are smearing this as a “logging” project rather than a fire project and making it out like Trump himself is reducing grizzly connectivity habitat even though that entire concept is the result of neverending NGO lawsuits meant so that we can never delist bears and never touch any of the forests in Wyoming and Montana.

As someone who covered the region for a dozen years for the WSJ, and reported in astonishment how even under conservative Pres Ronald Reagan USAID was funding socialist projects in Latin America, I can assure you that this is 💯 accurate.

H1Bs have been a significant part of why the native born middle class has been gutted. They squeeze Americans out of good jobs & were given home loans while Americans watched the American dream crumble in front of them.

“Hmm sorry it just is what it is” doesn’t fly anymore. I’m sorry if you thought this could continue indefinitely, but if you tear up the social contract, backlash is inevitable, & it will be severe. We are currently at the beginning of the backlash.

Btw, the probability that this ruling is overturned is… extremely high.

People seem to have trouble connecting cause and effect, largely because of bad media coverage. When people in LA complain about the cost of living, Dems and the media encourage them to blame Trump etc., but they keep voting for sales tax increases, never for gov't spending cuts.
