[ad_1] Questioning apocalyptic climate forecasts is now the conventional wisdom. For years, radical climate activists have painted a bleak view of the future. Most scientists believe that burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, which remain in the atmosphere, and that these gases trap additional heat, which warms the planet. This has led to concerns about global warming. But when the Earth …Read Full Article ⟶ [ad_2] Source link

[ad_1] A Russian drone struck an apartment building in eastern Romania and exploded during an overnight attack on Ukraine, injuring two people, the Romanian government said Friday. The incident has raised alarms about Russian military activity spilling into NATO countries. Romania’s Defense Ministry said the drone struck the roof of a block of flats in the city of Galati, about 10 miles from the Ukrainian border. Two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled in response to Romanian radars detecting drones in national airspace. President Nicusor Dan said the country was briefing NATO and European Union allies and had requested additional anti-drone…

[ad_1] Screengrab from White House video posted to X. Leaving aside the amen choir in hard-core MAGA circles, is there anyone out there who doesn’t think Donald Trump is bat-shit crazy? How much more evidence is needed before he is gold-chained to the wall of a padded cell? The midnight tweets of himself as a cartoon action figure are sufficient proof of cognitive disorientation, but at the state level, we have the course of the war in Iran, which, if laid out on a medical chart, would indicate that American foreign policy is being dictated by someone capable of hiding…

[ad_1] A short excerpt from the long opinion in Does v. Democratic People’s Republic of N. Korea, decided yesterday by Judge Timothy Kelly (D.D.C.): In January 1968, North Korea chased down and captured the U.S.S. Pueblo in international waters, killing one of the ship’s crew and taking the rest hostage. For the next eleven months, North Korea beat, starved, interrogated, and tortured the survivors to extract false confessions from them. Before the year was up, North Korea got the admission and the apology that it wanted from the United States for supposedly violating North Korean territorial waters. And the hostages,…

[ad_1] We now know that the U.S. federal government spies on innocent citizens without suspicion and without warrants, writes Andrew P. Napolitano. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Northern Virginia on May 15. (DHS /Flickr/Tia Dufour) By Andrew P. Napolitano Some of the recent legal challenges to the use of surveillance by the Department of Homeland Security upon Americans have resulted in the revelation of truly terrifying behavior by the government, in direct defiance of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. We now know that the federal government spies on innocent Americans without suspicion and without warrants. The spying seems…

[ad_1] In my last post on the VC, I would like to say a bit about so-called “hate speech” (which I address in the last chapter of my book, arguing that it should be constitutionally protected in public schools). I say “so-called,” because it might be better to drop the term “hate speech” insofar as it implies an extreme aversion to a particular group. However, in this post, I will use the term for convenience. No single legal definition of hate speech exists. The term is notoriously difficult to define with sufficient precision. As a result, those who support anti-hate…

[ad_1] Dr. Strangelove trying to resist his alien hand – Public Domain Last month, I had the opportunity to give a talk at a US university as part of a conference where many of the speakers were dredged directly from the gelatinous goop that produces each successive generation of State Department apparatchiks and DC think tank flunkies. I was something of an outlier as I came with a presentation all about the decline of US power in the age of so-called “multipolarity” and the ways in which US criminality over the last 40 years has created the conditions for it.…
