@clayandbuck @ClayTravis @BuckSexton @POTUS @hughhewitt Chris Wright @larryelder @RealJamesWoods the math is pretty easy here for an economist. Step Back and Think Big Picture. Also called leadership. What is the damage from the fire, $400 billion? What are the annual insurance costs that will now pay only a small fraction of replacing that, $30-40 Billion? Three nuclear power plants and a dozen massive de-salinization plants would cost about $70 billion (without regulatory delays), provide all the electricity California ever needed, and provide enough water to turn Southern California into a rainforest (and put out fires!). Why is no one talking or thinking like this? If this were Saudi Arabia this would have already been done 30 years ago. And all that water would double or triple California’s farmland production. This is not @elonmusk rocket science this is working technology that’s been around for 50+ years.

Trump says LA mayor Karen Bass needs to immediately allow, tonight!, people to begin the process of rebuilding their homes. It got heated. Good for him.

In a joint effort with the Venezuela and IAEA support, the United States has safely removed and transported all remaining enriched uranium (about 13.5 kg, enriched to just above 20% U-235) from the shutdown RV-1 research reactor near Caracas.

This experiment became the foundation for one of psychology's most disturbing ideas: The Broken Windows Theory. The theory suggests visible signs of disorder silently give people permission to create more disorder. One broken window tells the brain: Rules no longer matter here.

you're villifying the wrong people and arguing by false equivalence, simon. people still trust science, they just do not trust "science imposed upon them by experts at the point of a gun." no one is saying "airplanes don't fly" or "computers don't compute." they are saying "you lied about climate change, epidemiology, trade offs with products like roundup, GRAS designations, nutrition, race, gender, and 500 other topics>' and many of these criticisms have validity. and in response, the experts blame the questioner and demand deference. and those who refuse to engage on facts rarely have the facts on their side. trust was lost because "the experts" proved not only untrustworthy, but outright dictatorial. they faked evidence and data, made up wild pseudoscientific theories, and vilified sound science, and pushed utter fakery in its place. they censored opposition and claimed "the science was settled" to prevent investigation into their frauds. and they forced the whole world at the expense of lives and trillions of dollars of lost welfare to play along. it was high handed, dishonest, tyranny. have you stopped to consider that they earned this loss of faith? because they did. MIT wrote a literal article about "anti mask twitter" which it vilified by claiming “most fundamentally, the groups we studied believe that science is a process, not an institution.” as though it proved we had somehow turned our backs on science. but we did not. science is and must be a process. it is never an institution. that's dogma, not the methods of bacon. we did not stop trusting science, the experts stopped performing it and were dancing around in the flensed skinsuit of scientific method that they had stripped from the bones that made it valid: dispute, dissent, replication, validation - open and honest discourse. if you want to win back trust, you need to restore open debate and engagement, share methods, means, and data. wailing about "they won't trust us!" and blaming the folks who called out the deviation from sound science is just another arrogant presumption for institutions to dictate doctrine. you want to respect for sceince? start respecting to process of science again.

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times. We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

Many of you on the left are commenting that the decision was 4-3, as if the math somehow changes what actually happened. Four Justices on the Virginia Supreme Court canceled the votes of every person who voted “yes.” All the money. All the effort. Cancelled. I know it is easy to blame the Court for what happened today. But here is the absolute truth: The Virginia Democrats broke the law. They did it openly, blatantly, and with complete disregard for the consequences. They believed they were untouchable because they controlled the executive branch and the legislative branch. The acted like mob bosses with no accountability. But in a government with checks and balances - the Courts always have the final say. Your vote was not canceled because four justices woke up and decided to invalidate an election. Your vote was canceled because Virginia Democrats put the Court in a position where the law required intervention. You should absolutely be angry that your vote was taken away. But be angry at the people who ignored the law and caused this mess in the first place. If Democrats had simply followed the Constitution and done it correctly, none of this would have happened.

Obama dining with Canadian PM Mark Carney tonight, while Buttigieg and Slotkin fly in tomorrow for a closed-door Liberal Party strategy session? This isn’t a coincidence…it’s a deliberate middle finger to the Trump administration and the American people. Mark Carney and U.S. Democrats openly coordinating against an elected government. The disrespect is off the charts
Melissa 🇨🇦@MelissaLMRogers

So OBAMA is dining with Carney tonight. Tomorrow 2 potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders are joining CARNEY at a Liberal strategy session; Buttigieg & Slotkin 👀 Just IMAGINE the outrage if this was on the Conservative Republican side

🇺🇸💰 Ever wonder why European cities accepted so many refugees? Today, I'm over my jet lag and processing the documents I scanned this week. Already it's pretty shocking. The refugee influx into Europe began as a U.S. taxpayer-funded subsidy. The U.S. government literally paid European cities to take them in, using Soros-backed operations like ARC (American Refugee Committee) as the middlemen. Yes, ARC, co-founded with money from the Soros Humanitarian Fund, was running programs directly for the U.S. government. It goes even deeper and darker than that. Stay tuned.

And then of course there’s the engineering question: how is energy transferred to the battery, which is of course in a constant state of being drained, and what energy source charges the battery, and how do you charge the battery when the sun is not shining and/or wind is not blowing? It’s basic both engineering and economics: 125 years ago the world turned to ICE for engines and any type of sensical energy source not generated by oil/gas/nuclear is still not economical. We’ve not reached the technology point where solar makes sense.
Chris Martz@ChrisMartzWX

What a stupid comment. Try building a battery-powered rocket ship, or a battery-powered passenger jet airliner that can travel thousands of miles without refueling. Build a battery-powered cruise ship, a battery-powered big-deck aircraft carrier for the Navy. Can you do that successfully and make it marketable? Such technology is either next to impossible to develop, or is a long ways off at best. The real world doesn’t conform to your academic utopian mindset.

If you spend a week in any city on the left coast you will know the answer: leftist propaganda which would make Goebbels proud. Listen to any newscast (local TV news) and/or open any newspaper there, and you are bombarded with leftist filtering and twisting of the truth. Everything is reported with this liberal agenda, and basic common sense disappears. So boys and men competing against your daughters in sports and appearing in your daughters bathrooms becomes ok, rather than something against the thinking of basic common sense; giving needles to drug addicts is compassion, etc etc etc.

How does anyone in California or LA even consider voting for a Democrat? Do you remember the Palisades? The lack of water? The Train to Nowhere? The homeless encampments? The gas prices? Now contrast your state to a well-run state like Florida, for example. What's wrong with you people? Did all the Marxists take up residence in your state?

Five nuclear reactors providing electricity for a dozen de-salinization plants would turn desert Southern California into a tropical jungle.

Higher CO₂ levels are turning the world's deserts and the barrens into a living biological matrix visible from space. CO₂ is credited with greening a quarter to half of Earth's vegetated lands at a rate never seen before in all recorded history (NASA). There's been a more than 18% increase in global leaf cover in just 40 years, the largest gains in India and China (from deliberate CO₂ fertilisation). Global crop yields have risen by up to 20% since 1960, largely driven by CO₂ fertilisation, alongside agricultural advances. Famine deaths have plummeted in a time when the world's population has doubled - and CO₂ deserves much of the credit. This is the hidden story behind a Net Zero driven carbon economy. CO₂ has driven this timely explosion in a greening world, agriculture and booming oceanic phytoplankton (in many studies). Every 100 ppm increase in CO₂ typically boosts plant growth by 25–50%. An analysis of 776 studies from 1993–2019, shows ideal average CO₂ levels of 550 ppm deliver a 38% increase in global biomass. This is a keen biological message that has been shut out for 40 years. The IPCC has realised this too, and has downgraded its dire temperature warnings from a high of 5°C degrees to around 2.5°C degrees. This suggests today's temperatures are not expected to change much over the next 25 years. It doesn't make sense to target CO₂ for some unknown future climate collapse - one built in a computer simulation. The science says 600–1000 ppm of CO₂ plus 1–2°C extra warming hits the 'sweet spot' for terrestrial and marine life, including human civilisation. This is why commercial greenhouses pump CO₂ to 1000–1500 ppm to ensure crop yields jump by 20–70%. The human species evolved in an atmosphere very like today's. It's not new. Our early ancestors - the Great Apes and Old World Monkeys - evolved around 25 million years ago when CO₂ was 400–500 ppm and life was thriving during the tropical ice-free Miocene. Modern homo sapiens first emerged 300,000 years ago after the Pleistocene, when CO₂ was cycling from 200 to 300 ppm (Vostok/EPICA ice cores). Now we’re back to 427 ppm (Mauna Loa, Nov 2025) - a level that is greening the planet and boosting crop yields. It doesn't make sense to wage a vendetta on the very gas that makes our world greener and more habitable.

By 2050, the world is forecast to face 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades. These blades are built from high-strength composites made to survive years of weathering. Still, every single turbine standing today will age out before 2050. Most are difficult to recycle. So most are likely to be buried. But Europe now has a landfill ban for blades coming into force. Nations like Germany, Finland and the Netherlands are already blocking landfills. But they still have blades to dispose of. So the waste is pushed elsewhere. Blades are exported to countries where burial is still allowed, such as the UK. Any proposed "solutions" to landfill are tiny. A handful of blades become park benches or playgrounds. But 43 million tons does not fit into park furniture. Net Zero creates a mountain of composite waste, but then has the audacity to call itself "green".
