Here is NOAA’s past temperature reconstruction, where they lower the earlier data so as to make it look like there’s warming occurring. 

The Climate has Always Changed! 

The prolonged frigid temperatures are driving up power demand to its highest levels in nearly a decade.  The Bonneville Power Administration reports that the increased power demand spiked on the 6th at nearly 11,000 megawatts.  That’s enough electricity to power eight million homes.  That was the most power produced by the BPA since 2009.  Most

From the Daily Caller News Foundation: Feds have launched an investigation into why the Department of Homeland Security hacked into the Georgia state governmental network, including its election system, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned. John Roth, inspector general for DHS, wants to know why the agency broke protocol on its way to 10 unprecedented attacks on

From Townhall: The video was captioned with “Watching the #inauguration in my classroom like…. #no #stop #denial #squirtgun #hypocrisy #powerless #saveusall #teachthembetter #atleastitsfriday”. It’s unclear if there were students in the classroom at the time and it is also unclear as to who took the video. It was posted by the teacher on her personal

Workers want the right to work, and not have to pay a union for the privilege of working.  This week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its annual report on union membership. It’s more bad news for Big Labor, which has seen a half-century decline in its membership rolls. In 2016, only 14.6 million employees

Vice President Mike Pence took the stage at the March for Life event on Friday and Pence did not hesitate to mention that President Donald Trump will be making a big announcement next week. During the vice president’s speech, he said, “That’s why next week, President Donald Trump will announce a Supreme Court nominee who will

  School choice is flourishing in America, with millions of kids now using vouchers to attend private schools, going to publicly funded charter schools, benefiting from open-enrollment policies, being schooled at home, and more. President Donald Trump is full-throated in his support of choice, recognizing National School Choice Week in a proclamation: Because the education of our

Looks like we’ll see how mad Californians actually are about Donald Trump becoming president. The secretary of state has cleared the CalExit petition to collect signatures from voters. As we noted back in November, CalExit is the hashtag for a movement for the Golden State to secede from the union and become its own country. While the movement existed prior to

When the modern homeschooling movement started to emerge in the 1970s, many jurisdictions considered it a crime to teach your children at home. Today homeschooling is lawful in every state, albeit with different degrees of restrictions. That’s one of the great victories for educational choice, and its impact is only increasing. According to the National Center

Correction of the year? The Atlantic regrets …. Update: And regrets … Cross-posting from HotAir: … and regrets, and regrets, and regrets. In fact, The Atlantic may have entered into an infinite loop of regret, but their primary regret has to be publishing a shockingly ignorant and warped attack on science itself. John took the magazine to task over

I would hope so. They should be fed up with the government school education they’ve been forced to endure.  Overall, 63 percent of millennial respondents were in favor of charter schools, and just 19 percent were opposed. The national average was 59 percent and 23 percent. This means that millennials were actually slightly more pro-charter

Do it! 10th Amendment! Via Twin Falls Times:  A House committee has voted to print a bill declaring the state Legislature the “final arbiter” of whether something is constitutional and directing state agencies not to enforce any federal laws, regulations or court rulings the Legislature deems unconstitutional. “The purpose of this bill is to provide

From the Spokesman Review:  Protest marches are pointless if not focused. I’ve participated in exactly one, as a cranky, sleep-deprived architecture student. WSU officials had decided to close our branch library. We marched up the hill and barged into a Board of Regents meeting demanding that our library be saved. It worked. Last week, there

  As President Trump moves forward on his campaign promises regarding illegal immigration, the progressive left is (delightfully) apoplectic. Sanctuary cities, in particular, are of special significance to them as Democrat mayors across the nation insist that they will resist Trump’s efforts. Boston mayor, Marty Walsh, is taking his “resist we much” stance one step further and

A federal court in Brooklyn, NY, issued a temporary stay against enforcement of one aspect of Trump’s Executive Order on visas and refugees. The suit was brought by the ACLU on behalf of two detained men seeking to prevent being sent back to Iraq. The Judge ordered a halt to removals of persons detained in the

Immigration attorney Francisco Hernandez appeared on Tucker’s show to claim that there is no such thing as sanctuary cities, that they are “political fiction.” Perhaps more outrageous than his semantics games, Hernandez behaved most inappropriately, smirking as Ed Henry, sitting in for Tucker, asked about criminal illegal aliens and Kate Steinle.
