Who will crater first? Will Germany cut off its nose to spite its face?  Germany is grappling with its worst energy shortage in decades as it might not meet the threshold of adequate natural gas reserves before winter. Germany’s national Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag interviewed Klaus Muller, head of the Federal Network Agency, the government regulator

How peculiar. Infrared satellite imagery designed to measure moisture levels and the health of farmlands suggests that staple crops such as wheat are in poor condition and in sharp decline among major exporters including the Ukraine, the US and India.  Two countries do have bumper crops so far though; namely Russia and China. It is

We will get the answer they want to give us.  The interest from the top U.S. intelligence agency adds to the international scrutiny on the Wuhan facility, which houses one of China’s highest-level biosecurity labs that has been considered a possible source of the COVID-19 pandemic. “In preparation for our call on Tuesday, Erik [Stemmy]

Just like in Western Europe, there are more deaths than births. And the real reason for that is the crashing birth rate since the median age of Covid deaths (with/by) is 83 years old.   It’s often seen as a marker of an area’s demographic health: more births than deaths.

BOISE — The Idaho Republican Party will consider 31 resolutions at its three-day convention that began Thursday, including one already adopted by Texas Republicans that President Joe Biden isn’t the legitimate leader of the country. The Idaho resolution in the deeply conservative state that Donald Trump won with 64% of the vote in 2020 is

Liberals love to pretend that the exception is the rule. 

Let’s be clear: demographers have known for decades that there would be a flipping point in EU population due to crashing birthrates.  Covid accelerated the deaths of the elderly (median age of those who died were over 83 years old. Those are not “birthing people”). According to the CDC, 80% were aged ≥65 years —

The liberals like to pretend that a warming earth is a) unusual and b) the end of humanity. It’s neither.  Despite rhetoric to the contrary, there is still plenty of sea ice over Arctic regions this summer, supplying feeding platforms for polar bears, ice-dependent seals, and walrus cows nursing their young calves. Forget about whether

I am totally not surprised. And inflation is actually worse than this because the CPI does not take into account fuel costs and food costs, which are leading indicators of actual inflation.  From ZeroHedge. With The White House having desperately tried to front-run this morning’s inflation print, analysts were expecting a jump higher led by food

You can haul a lot of salmon from the Pacific to the Palouse for $20+ billion. Federal officials in charge of protecting threatened and endangered salmon runs now say breaching one or more of the four lower Snake River dams, combined with a suite of other actions, is required to recover the fish to healthy

It’s worth listening to what he has to say.  Carl Spurlin Dekel has seen a lot in his life, and now he can add another milestone memory. On Wednesday, June 29, his family and friends gathered to honor the service, sacrifice, and centennial of the World War II veteran in Plant City. “Most important thing

The National Education Association’s (NEA) annual conference is underway, and the teachers union is voting on calling for a national policy of mandatory masking, creating an enemies list, and rejecting the words “mother” and “father.” The Chicago conference is chock-full of woke agenda items and progressive language involving issues that would seem to have little
