Every single military act by Hamas from 10/7 onward violate the laws of war, given their lack of uniforms, targeting of civilians, and so on. Hamas's existence is one continuous war crime, and yet those who tend to bray most loudly about alleged war crimes have been working feverishly since 10/7 to ensure Hamas stays in power in Gaza.

Yes, the expansionism of the red dot is unbearable. The green areas are terrified!

It has now been proven beyond any possible doubt that "global warming" since 2000 is due to changing cloud cover, (albedo) & that CO2 has had zero effect on climate. Net Zero is stupidity.

NOT WIDELY REPORTED: The collapsing Federal government workforce, which fell in August to 2.67 million employees, the lowest level in more than 60 years, going back to May 1966.

After losing World War 2, Germany lost 25% of its territory and 14 million Germans were ethnically cleansed from Eastern Europe.

And yet there hasn’t been a single case of Germans hijacking planes, blowing themselves up, or committing terrorist attacks like Palestinians.

“people wouldn’t commit crimes if they could just afford food”

they would, actually.

Finland studied this by giving people UBI, and it had precisely zero impact on crime

Good news you probably haven't heard:

The Great Barrier Reef's five best years of coral cover in the 40-year record are the five most recent.

After decades of predictions of its imminent demise, the reef stubbornly refuses to die.

Isn't it entertaining when naive US leftists cite Nordic countries as examples of "democratic socialism"?

Scandinavia has more billionaires per capita than the US, and Sweden abolished wealth and inheritance taxes.

Ignorance is clearly a prerequisite for being left.

[Creative Deduction @CreativeDeduct]

Modern leftie:

Hates Bezos. Orders everything on Amazon.
Hates data centers. Uses AI.
Hates Musk. Drives a Tesla.
Hates corporate America. Loves Starbucks.
Hates fossil fuels. Loves flying to experience the world.

Hates capitalism. Loves the fruits of capitalism.

Jews came from Judea. Arabs came from Arabia.

Jews reclaimed a sliver smaller than New Jersey.

Arabs conquered 11+ million sq miles of other peoples’ land—20% of Earth’s landmass.

Can someone please remind me again who the colonizers are?

[Michael A. Arouet @MichaelAArouet]

The popular left narrative that in the US only the super-rich are doing well, while Europeans are better off than Americans, is wrong. Americans excluding the top 1%, and even the poorest 20%, are much better off than their European equivalents. Europe's bad choices make it poor.

[Michael A. Arouet @MichaelAArouet]

Sweden did many things right. It’s the exact opposite of what the naive US lefts call “democratic socialism“

If you like Sweden so much, be like Sweden: lower income taxes, abolish inheritance and wealth taxes, cut state monopolies, lower debt.

It works wonders. Give it a try.

[Commentary - Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

Slavery was not a unique American crime. It was a universal institution for thousands of years.

Adam Smith noted in 1776 that Western Europe was the only place on earth without it.

Europeans held slaves in the Western Hemisphere, but not in Europe itself.

More whites were taken by Barbary pirates in North Africa than Africans brought to the United States and the colonies combined.

No one demands reparations from North Africa. They know they would not get them.

Intellectuals invent a different history than the rest of the world actually lived.

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

You have opinions. But I have data.

The average number of heatwaves per year per station (area-weighted) in the U.S. have decreased by 27.9% since the start of the 20th century. The only way one can get a slight increase is by starting the analysis in 1960 or 1970.

My findings have bee confirmed in both the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4, Chapter 6) and more recently in Christy (2026), a research paper recently published in the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Climatology.

What’s more, the number of daily record high maximum temperatures (Tmax) set have not increased since 1895. The ratio of record highs to lows, however, has increased, but that’s only because record low minimum temperatures (Tmin) have decreased at a faster rate than highs.

The only thing I am ignoring here is your arrogance. You are awfully confident in your abilities, but still rest comfortably at the peak of Mount Stupid.

CO₂ makes world greener

Yes, climate net problem

but breathless reporting ignores global greening is "highly credible evidence of anthropogenic climate change"

8 years ago… I reported on Philadelphia’s new tax on soda. The politicians promised to spend the money on early childhood education.

8 years later… here’s what happened:

South Africa is the world's first experiment in running a country completely on Critical Race Theory (Race Marxism). It's a self-contradictory catastrophe in action, overwhelmed by deliberate bias and grift. It is the model that is/was intended for America as well.
