NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson says the World Cup is creating an ironic split screen across America, as fans from around the world appreciate the U.S. "so more than these socialists running for Congress."
While radical left Democrats spend their time criticizing the country, visitors from around the world are flooding social media with videos of themselves falling in love with it — from Buc-ee’s and Waffle House to free chips and salsa in Texas.
"They've never known freedom. They've never known these kinds of things, and they're seeing them for themselves. The genius of America's system, a system that rewards risk takers and entrepreneurs and job creators and innovators and people who create jobs for others and expand the economy and opportunity and broaden the pathway out of poverty for more people."
"That's what we promise to the voters, and that's what we are delivering."
@HawkEmDownChris I can’t believe no one else listed Dave Wannstedt. He was clearly one of the worst. HC of Bears, Dolphins and Pitt Panthers and failed terribly at each stop!
@Sudharsan_ak The Fever need to trade Caitlin to the new Cleveland franchise. Dan Gilbert will know how to treat her and Make Caitlin Great Again. Let’s start a new acronym MCGA! That’ll make that “LGBT Only”loving league go bonkers!!
@TonyGrossi Hey Tony, I’m perplexed by all this Myles Garrett trade talk by the fans and media. AB said he’s not going to be traded and I don’t think you trade a future HOF’er that’s performing at the highest level. What do you think?

For years, the public was told shrinking sea ice means starving polar bears. Now the data say the opposite.
A new study tracked 770 polar bears around Svalbard over the past 27 years. The results show body conditions improved since the year 2000, even as the sea ice declined.
The scientists found no direct link between declining sea ice and worsening adult bear condition. In fact, many bears got fatter.
The science got it entirely backwards.
In 2017, skinny bears proved climate catastrophe. In 2026, fatter bears are being framed as a temporary exception.
Globally, the polar bear population stood at just 5,000 in the 1960s. Today it's more than 30,000.
And worse still for the narrative, Arctic sea ice extent has held steady for the past 18 years now, showing no trends since 2007.
THE SUN IS WHAT DRIVES TEMPERATURE ON EARTH, NOT CO2!
The warming from the Sun is cyclical, it's NOT constant. The distance of where you are from the Sun is constantly changing because both the Earth's orbit around the Sun is irregular and the Sun itself wobbles due to the combined gravitational pull of all the planets together. Look at the Schwabe solar cycle of 11 years, the Jose solar cycle of solar Inertial Motion of 179 years, Eddy Solar Cycle of 1000 years, the Bray-Halstatt Cycles of 2300-2500 years, then look into the three Milankovitch Cycles.
Short to medium term climate change:
Solar Inertial Motion: the combined mass of the planets also moves the position of the Sun through their combined gravitational pull, meaning the Sun moves around following the ever moving barycentre of the Solar system rather than being in a fixed central point in the middle Solar System. That is the key thing to understand: the Sun is moving around, wobbling in spiral like motion as it travels, it is not stationary. Once you understand that all medium term climate change can be explained simply because of the Sun's changing distance from the Earth.
None of this has anything to do with humans. None of this has anything to do with CO2. The models of the Solar System you grew up believing as a child were gross over simplifications. They conditioned you to believe that the Solar system has a fixed Sun position with a regular Sun activity with regular orbits, of which the Earth is one. Yet that is not the reality: not only the earth both tilts and wobbles as it orbits, but the orbit is a changing ellipse not a perfect circle, meaning the distance from the Sun is not constant. These are the three Milankovitch cycles. Also other planets have irregular orbits.
The combined effect of all these irregular orbits together pulls the Sun off centre of the solar system into the barycentre. A wobbling Sun is the real reason for short to medium term climate change, and an irregular earth orbit, tilt and wobble is the reason for long term climate change.
And this is just the beginning of the story of irregularity in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, then there are cycles of Sun activity, making it stronger and weaker according to how close to the 11 year cycle of magnetic poles flip it is, next being in 2024, and how many Sun spots & Solar flares we are exposed to.
Then you need to factor volcanic activity, the Hunga-Tonga Hunga underwater volcanic eruption of January 2022 increased the water vapour in the stratosphere by 10%, this in itself will cause considerable warming of the planet in most regions.
It's definitely not a simplistic neat black and white story of CO2, a minor greenhouse gas, as 95% of the earth's greenhouse gases are constituted by water vapour instead.
Humans have no power to determine either the orbit of the Earth around the Sun or the Sun's internal & external activity, or the water vapour in the atmosphere.
Life adapts much more easily to higher temperatures and increases in CO2, particularly plants, vegetation, trees, plankton& phytoplankton, than it does to decreases in CO2.
The real danger is a decrease of CO2, and a decrease in temperature, not an increase in either.
Once again, we have been deceived by a systematically corrupt scientific funding system linked to oligarchs interests.
CO2 was always a control knob for economic prosperity, not climate.
JOHN CLAUSER, 2022 PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE WINNER:
"I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency.
As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril.
Atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.
The policies government have been implementing are totally unnecessary and should be eliminated.
So far, [we] have totally misidentified what is the dominant process in controlling the climate, and all of the various models are based on incomplete and incorrect physics.
The dominant process, is “the cloud-sunlight-reflexivity thermostat mechanism.
Clouds are all bright white, and they reflected 90% of the sunlight back into space making them the most crucial yet most overlooked aspect of the climate system.
Two-thirds of the Earth are ocean. The Pacific Ocean alone is half the Earth. The average cloud cover for the Earth is 67%; about 50% over land and 75% over oceans.
I claim that the above conspicuous properties of clouds are the missing part of the puzzle."
