President Trump is ending outdated trade policies that harm hard-working Americans. So now globalist elites are spitting mad that we are finally putting the interests of American workers, families, and communities over the pocketbooks of self-anointed "citizens of the world." [...]
Back in June of last year, as I was still high on the hopium of dispatching Donald Trump and his MAGA cult once and for all, I recall reading a piece by Asawin Suebsaeng and Adam Rawnsley in Rolling Stone with the provocative headline "Trump's Not ‘Bluffing': Inside the MAGA Efforts To Make a Second Term Even More Extreme." I read it with great interest, but it sounded crazy. They quoted a bunch of Trump insiders saying things like "Yes, we do really want to burn it all down," and when asked about potential court challenges, they replied, "Who cares?" [...]

Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Monday a new transitional government would aim for consensus in rebuilding the war-torn country but acknowledged it would be unable to satisfy everyone.The transitional 23-member cabinet -- without a prime minister -- was announced Saturday, more than three months after Sharaa's Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) led an offensive that toppled longtime president Bashar al-Assad.Sharaa said the new government's goal was rebuilding the country but warned that "will not be able to satisfy everyone".

In the war-devastated southern Lebanese village of Aitaroun on Monday, residents marked the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr among their dead.Relatives crowded the village's cemeteries to pray for the more than 100 residents, including fighters from Hezbollah, killed during the war between the militant group and Israel that ended with a fragile ceasefire in November."We defied the entire world by being here in Aitaroun to celebrate Eid with our martyrs," Siham Ftouni said near the grave of her son, a rescuer with an Islamic health organisation affiliated with Hezbollah.

When asked about an effort to ban fluoride in drinking water, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said, "It’s not a bill I care that much about” but he still signed it, despite the health benefits being well-established and claims of harm being the kind of slimy epidemiology that claims "risk" of BPA, weedkillers, PFAS, and too many products to count.Utah wants to be the California of the right-wing; ban things because it matches the politics of their voters and science will be marginalized.(1)read more [...]

It's easy for Greenpeace employees in cities to talk about farming but in the real world, without pesticides we'd lose 78 percent of fruit, 54 percent of vegetables, and 32 percent of cereal crops. Most farmers want to optimize razor-thin margins and protect their biggest asset, land, so they are cautious about spraying too much, but the organic process leads to startling amounts of nitrogen runoff into rivers and ground water. A study claims 31 percent of agricultural soils around the world were at high risk from pesticide pollution while the old ways of German farmers recently showed they were exposing [...]
Greenpeace is facing bankruptcy after a $667,000,000 judgment. For the first time ever, the number of U.S. federal employees declined. Democrats have begun to consider they might be wrongly defending terrorists. They even became pro-vaccine for the first time this century. The best thing President Donald Trump may have done for science and political sanity is to switch from Democrat to Republican and bring Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Elon Musk along with him. It forced Democrats, who are nearly 90% of career government employees, to suddenly defend things they had opposed for decades.(1)Like nuclear energy. Which means we could usher in [...]

If you insist you will only eat berries picked by hand near a stream, you are virtue signaling to other wealthy people that you have more money than than they do, while masking it in a halo of claiming to care about taste or renewability or other nature.No one is fooled.

Sure, there can be differences in taste, just like if you give a chicken different feed, but that is easily solvable, and has been, like in [...]
The world is producing more food using fewer pesticides than ever, thanks to modern science.

Environmental lawyers, especially lawyers at Natural Resources Defense Council, exist to sue companies and to have casus belli they need to suggest corporations are killing us all.
