Leftist Red-Green Axis Exploits Weather To Increase Its Power

Written by Robert Knight

Another scorching July week and another dire media warning that my car, your lawn mower and Aunt Jenna’s stove are heating up the Earth. Something drastic needs to be done.

It’s been hotter than usual and for longer, especially on the West Coast. The Los Angeles Times calls it “unprecedented.”

This is not to minimize the human cost of extended heat waves, but this is not a unique time. In the 1930s, many states set high-temperature records that still stand.… Continue Reading

’60 Minutes’ Exhumes Enviro Cult Leader for a New Round of Scaremongering

Written by David Harsanyi

Earth is headed for a sixth extinction, warned biologist Paul Ehrlich on “60 Minutes” this Sunday. And since Ehrlich has predicted about 20 extinctions over the past 60 years, he’s a leading expert on the issue.

Couldn’t “60 Minutes” find a fresh-faced, yet-to-be-discredited neo-Malthusian to hyperventilate about the end of the world? Why didn’t producers invite a single guest to push back against theories that have been reliably debunked by reality? Because the media is staffed by environmental pessimists and doomsayers who need to believe the world is in constant peril due to the excesses of capitalism.… Continue Reading

The Cultural Shift Behind the Republican Tsunami

Written by Robert Knight

Something is happening out there. It looks for all the world like a punch-drunk fighter rising to his feet, shaking off the cobwebs and decking his opponent.

Republicans in Virginia swept all statewide offices and flipped the U.S. House last Tuesday. The folks at CNN and MSNBC were on the verge of hysteria. They channeled enfant terrible climate activist Greta Thunberg shouting, “How dare you!”

In New Jersey, a political neophyte truck driver apparently defeated the state Senate president.… Continue Reading

Climate Democracy Dies in Darkness

Written by Tim Graham

A British leftist group calling itself the Center for Countering Digital Hate has issued a report on what it calls the “Toxic Ten,” which are so-called fringe websites spreading “climate change denial.” The ten include our group, the Media Research Center, as well as Breitbart, The Daily Wire, Townhall Media, Newsmax, The Washington Times and The Western Journal.

So, any challenge to Greenpeace climate-crackdown orthodoxy is now classified as “toxic” and “digital hate.”… Continue Reading

Trading In Our Heritage – or Pushing Back

Written by Robert Knight

Wow, these Maria cookies made by Goya sure are crispy.  And only 25 calories each.

We’ve got a boatload of Goya products in our pantry now, one of our pushbacks against the Left’s increasingly aggressive culture war on America.

Goya Foods came under attack merely because its CEO, Robert Unanue, visited the White House and made some positive comments about President Trump.  The Left has called for a boycott of the company, which specializes in Hispanic foods.… Continue Reading

Hollywood Gets an Education

Written by L. Brent Bozell III

Ricky Gervais, the perpetually snarky British comedian, set social media on fire after he mocked arrogant Hollywood in his opening monologue when hosting the Golden Globes.

“So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right?” he said. “You’re in no position to lecture the public — about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.”… Continue Reading

Stop Scaring the Children

Written by Stephen Moore

A friend of mine’s third grade daughter came home from school a few weeks ago with tears streaming down her cheeks. “My teacher says we only have 10 years before the oceans rise and we are underwater,” she moaned. “Are we all going to die?”

That’s a heavy burden to place on the shoulders of a 9-year-old.

Gloomy stories of the coming apocalypse have become commonplace in schools, textbooks, churches, movies and even children’s bedtime stories. … Continue Reading

Don’t Let Climate Change Alarmism Ruin Your Future

Written by Jerry Newcombe

Many people today, especially the young, are making some terrible long-term decisions, and it’s because they assume that the “experts” are right when it comes to catastrophic man-made global warming. They buy the notion that we only have 12 years of life left on earth:

• Many of them are not investing for their future. Why should they, if they have no future?

• Many are experiencing depression because of climate change.

• Many are choosing to not have children, so they can save the planet.
