A Big Bang Is Coming for Artificial Intelligence

By Majority Report

And the fallout will reshape Big Tech, national security, and the American government itself. 

Artificial intelligence is exploding so fast that even the companies building it admit they cannot control what happens next.

The public sees the shiny side of AI. Search engines that talk back. Photo editors that turn families into Christmas card masterpieces. Chat interfaces that feel like digital companions.

But behind the curtain, a storm is building that Big Tech does not want you to notice.

For the first time, prominent industry leaders are sounding alarms that the economic engine behind AI is unstable. They are talking about unrecoverable spending, power requirements that outstrip national grids, and an arms race that no private company can win.

And the bottom line is this.

A Big Bang is coming for AI.

When it detonates, the United States government will not be a spectator. It will be forced into the center of AI control, not because it wants to, but because national security will demand it.

Let us walk through what the insiders are whispering.

Over the past eighteen months, AI companies have poured historic sums into data centers, GPU clusters, and power contracts.

OpenAI and Microsoft have committed to long-term projects that total well over one trillion dollars. Google is racing to build global hyperscale sites. Amazon is transforming its cloud footprint to support models that double in computational demand every year.

IBM’s CEO bluntly said there is “no way” these companies can ever make this money back.

Anthropic’s leadership has accused the entire industry of “YOLO spending” billions on systems whose economic value has yet to materialize.

Even Google is now exploring solar-powered data centers in outer space because Earth-based energy cannot keep up.

This is not a thriving marketplace.

It is a desperate sprint.

The cost of AI is growing exponentially.

The revenue from AI is growing slowly, at best.

That is the mathematical definition of a bubble.

Upgrading to each new generation of models is not just expensive. It is crippling.

A single frontier model can require:

  • thousands of specialized GPUs
  • vast thermal management systems
  • water and power consumption equal to small towns
  • data centers so large they need their own power plants

Even if Big Tech were to merge into a single mega company, the numbers would still not work.

The spending outruns the return. That is why smaller AI firms are collapsing. That is why consumer hardware companies like Crucial are shutting down entire product lines to feed the AI beast. That is why Meta is cutting the metaverse loose. Every resource is being vacuumed into AI.

The industry insiders see the wall coming.
They hope to hit it after everyone else.

This is the part the public has not connected yet.

AI has already become essential to American national security.

The Pentagon relies on it for threat analysis. Intelligence agencies use it for surveillance review, cyber defense, and predictive modeling. Homeland Security uses it to process border data.

What’s more, future battlefield systems, missile defense tools, and nuclear command simulations are being built around AI capability.

This means the United States government is now tethered to AI the same way it is tethered to satellites, aircraft carriers, and the electrical grid.

And if the companies behind AI begin to fail, the government cannot step aside and watch them collapse.

The United States would be forced to intervene.

Not because it wants control.

But because national security requires stability.

This is the part most people do not see.

The artificial intelligence explosion has outgrown the private market. The private sector cannot sustain it. But the government cannot afford to lose it.

A takeover becomes inevitable.

Here is what the transformation would look like. It will not be a dramatic seizure. It will be a slow absorption.

  1. Federal subsidies for power, computing, and long-term training clusters
  2. Government-backed AI data centers that operate like public utilities
  3. Mandatory licensing for frontier models
  4. Corporate partnerships shaped like the defense industry
  5. Nationalization of critical AI systems, especially those tied to security

When the private AI boom collapses under its own weight, a new, government-centered AI ecosystem will form in its place – because it must.

This is the Big Bang.

The blast destroys the old structure.

The heat and debris assemble into something new.

And whether we like it or not, the United States will become the steward of the most powerful technology ever created.

Part Five: The Power Shift That Will Change Everything

Paid subscribers get the deep analysis here, so let us look at what happens once the government becomes the anchor holding AI in place.

Critically Thinking About Industrial Wind Energy

By John Droz, Jr.

One of my faithful readers (W. van Snyder) recently wrote an important book: Where Will We Get Our Energy: A Comprehensive System Examination. As it turned out, another reader here (Dr. Jon Boone) emailed him an insightful and entertaining commentary. I’m reposting this below…

Van: Thanks for recommending your book.

Over the last month, I’ve read portions of it as I found time, assessing your content in terms of what I have learned over the last two decades. Bottom line: You produced a well documented, comprehensive, take down of the renewables ballyhoo (something I did nearly 20 years ago in my MDPSC wind testimony), eviscerating particularly the wind energy baby—along with its bathwater.

Your prose style is both pithy and entertaining; your rhetoric, compelling; and your blend of rather abstruse mathematics with down home explanation is deftly informative. For example, I loved the way you described the development of the formula for converting wind energy into electricity, quickly getting to the fly in wind’s soup: V3!

In short, you showed that the renewables du jour are a dysfunctional, very costly, solution to a non-existent problem. At grid scale, wind can neither be a functional additive nor an alternative energy source. Rather, it’s a supplement that requires a great deal of supplementation for grid integration, in the process continually subverting its reason for being.

The climate change farrago is a super-charged proposition that mocks the scientific method, as you so correctly demonstrate. It’s full of definitional slips and slides and, as currently formulated, can never genuinely be falsified, even though it is false. Your narrative excursion about nuclear is up to date and informative.

I’ve recommended your book widely.

Although I agree with all your conclusions, I nonetheless want to provide some food for your thought on the wind menu, addressing:

  1. what I think of using the term, backup, for wind output; questioning
  2. the rather blasé claim that wind provides a certain percentage of the overall delivery of electricity generation to any grid (as you have done); and, imploring you, because it’s clear you have the knowledge and skill to do so with authority, to investigate
  3. the battery charge/discharge efficiency impact in service to balancing wind’s quotidian flux over, say, the course of a year, assuming a grid in which only wind, solar, and batteries supply demand. Given that wind generation changes its output hundreds of times daily and that the grid must match demand closely at all times, I would be thunderstruck if any present-day battery system would be able to survive the onslaught for any meaningful amount of time, no matter how high the cost.

On the backup issue, the notion that wind volatility is something in need of “backup” seems to be a minor wind howler. Yes, grid reliability and security demand that all generating plants have redundancy built in, hence the idea of backup as a conventional industry term of use. However, backup overwhelmingly means a reserve or substitute for the real thing, often in the form of an understudy or a computer file. Or it can mean support for a much larger object or activity. (Let’s avoid here the notion of backup as a clogged drain.)

In the first case, the backup is sufficiently like the original (what is backed up) that performance should not be markedly corrupted. A second-string quarterback should in virtually all-important respects be able to do what the first-string quarterback does. Ditto for an understudy forced into mainline service because of illness to the diva.

In the second case, a backup buttress to an architectural feature plays a small role in the scheme of things, nice for security to be sure, but nonetheless, it is a minor part of the whole. Although it is a proactive measure in terms of ultimate security, it is mainly reactive in function.

The nature of wind variability, which routinely changes its output 5% or more at every five-minute interval and occasionally widely alters what it delivers in a very short time, means that wind is a wayward fish to conventional generation’s bicycle; it is a completely different creature both in degree and kind.

Given that wind generates an average of only a fourth of its full capacity annually, nearly 75% of that capacity must therefore consist of conventional generation—in order to keep supply matched to demand. Given that 10-15% of the time it produces nothing, then 100% of its full capacity must be taken over by conventional machines. The truth is that wind can only be a minor ingredient in a much larger fuel mix—but much like a fly in soup, which provides, like wind, problematic nutritional value. You could eat it. But why would you want to?

Given the erratic, skittering nature of its delivery, wind cannot merely be “backed up” by a slightly corrupted version of itself. Quite the contrary. It is as if wind is the whacky substitute requiring the first team, the diva, to make it functional. In the best Orwellian newspeak fashion, it is the backup that does virtually all the important work—but in a much more inefficient fashion. How would the world’s best actor squelch, live onstage, a drunken understudy who continually spoke lines from another play?

Words are important if they are to impart accurate meaning. To say that wind requires backup is to pervert both language and meaning, despite its bellyfeel quality. Although language is slippery, it should not be that quicksilver. Wind machines must always be ENTANGLED with proactive but inefficiently operating conventional machines through the entire extent of any wind machine’s full capacity.

On the issue of wind providing a certain percentage of electricity to a grid system, there is implied in this idea that the grid is therefore using less conventional power plants, particularly fossil fired, because wind is displacing them. This is of course a reasonable conclusion.

However, this is yet another of those situations where face value accurate facts don’t tell the larger context truth of things. As you surely know, there is a front and back end to wind generation. At the front end, wind energy must displace existing generation to keep the grid balanced. However, at the back end, wind’s continuous variability must be followed and balanced by conventional generation, typically fossil-fired. Thermal plants deployed as wind balancers are operating much more inefficiently in this role, consuming more fuel in the process than they otherwise would.

Here’s where the situation gets more than weird in terms of truth telling and it involves the use of imports (thanks for discussing them in your text). Let me urge you to read pages 6-13 of my paper, Overblown, where I discuss my findings about this regarding the grids in Texas and Colorado, examining claims by the wind industry that wind output had caused a reduction in overall conventional generation.

Turns out that the amount of imported generation, which was not mentioned as being part of the total generation mix, more than compensated for the reductions in the grids’ conventional generation use. In the cases of both grids, there was actually a slight increase in the use of conventional generation overall, despite a lot of wind on the system.

In all my years of looking, I have not found—anywhere—that wind generation has caused any reductions in the use of conventional power plants and their fuels. In truth, the more wind, the greater demand for fossil fuels, all things considered.

No need to respond. I haven’t done much energy related work for some while. So good to see you doing such excellent work. Trust you’ll continue in the wake of Trump’s energy agenda, providing intellectual ballast in support until the wind mess withers away from its well-deserved fate: unbelief.

Many cheers! Jon Boone

Hydro Produces Clean Snake River Energy — The Left Wants to Wreck It

By Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow

the Trump administration affirmed its support for the four Lower Snake River hydroelectric dams in the Pacific Northwest.

CFACT’s Conservation Country series, particularly our investigative report from September 2024, highlighted the benefits of this energy source, going directly to Ice Harbor Dam in eastern Washington.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said of his visit to Ice Harbor: “Hydroelectric dams have provided affordable and reliable electricity to millions of American families and businesses for decades. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, they will continue to do so!”

WATCH: The Dam Truth: Hydroelectric Powers the Pacific Northwest

Our Lower Snake River Dam investigation uncovered some inconvenient “dam” truths. Dam breaching would lead to phasing out reliable hydroelectric power for electricity produced by intermittent solar and wind. Transportation of goods by barge would stop. And most “daming” of all, migratory salmon — an anti-hydro scapegoat — aren’t threatened by these power plants. Our report revealed marine mammals like voracious killer whales and sea lions pose a far greater threat.

In sum, the environmental trade-offs far outweigh the promised “benefits” of dam replacements.

CFACT is proud to have played a small but pivotal role in promoting hydroelectric power in the Northwest. However, there are numerous stories across America that also require attention. That’s where CFACT’s Conservation Country series comes into play.

Conservation Country specializes in shining a light on property rights, wildlife, and government abuses, as well as showcasing examples where things are done right — in other words, true conservation success stories.

Through this project, the CFACT team is fighting to change the narrative on terms like “environmental protection” by infusing it with sound science and free-market principles. With Team Trump in office, now is an especially good time to press the advance!

For nature and people too.

2026 AI Outlook: The Great Startup Churn & Enterprise Adoption

By Editorial Board – DrRichSwier.com

In this episode, we dive into the three massive themes that will define the AI landscape in 2026. While 2025 was the year of infrastructure—where Hyperscalers like Google and Amazon poured money into chips and data centers—2026 marks the shift to mandated business adoption. Rich explains why the “experimental” phase is officially over and why the days of “analysis paralysis” must end if businesses want to survive.

We break down the hard reality of the coming “startup churn,” discussing why 95% of early AI startups (the “wrapper” companies) are likely to fail as tech giants vertically integrate those features directly into their cloud ecosystems. The conversation also highlights the emergence of a new “AI Service Layer”—consultants and providers who will bridge the gap between legacy systems and the new “genetic workflows.” Finally, we offer a practical framework for every business owner: stop overthinking the cost and simply treat your AI budget like the salary of your next most valuable hire.

10 Key Takeaways:

  1. The Hyperscaler Pivot: After spending 2025 building data centers, giants like Google and Amazon are now vertically integrating applications.
  2. Mandated Adoption: 2026 will move beyond “testing” tools to a top-down mandate for embedding AI into business DNA.
  3. The Startup Churn: We predict a high failure rate for early AI startups as hyperscalers release better, integrated versions of their tools.
  4. Vertical Integration Wins: It is nearly impossible for standalone code/video startups to compete with the vertical stack of Google Cloud.
  5. End of Analysis Paralysis: Business leaders must stop waiting for “perfect” visibility; the ROI is high enough to act now.
  6. The AI Service Layer: A new industry will rise to help companies navigate the “complete transformation” from legacy systems to AI.
  7. Genetic Workflows: The workforce is shifting toward managing “genetic” agents that handle multi-step reasoning.
  8. Tearing Down to Studs: This isn’t a software upgrade; it is a fundamental rewriting of how human beings operate in a business environment.
  9. Budgeting for AI: The best way to budget for AI is to view the cost (tools + implementation) as the salary of one new employee.
  10. The Confidence Factor: You don’t need 100% clarity on the future to know that throwing resources at AI today will yield a return.

The AI Race No One Sees

By Majority Report

World Models, Gigafactories, and the Quiet March Toward One-World Dominance. 

Most people think AI is just a chatbot that helps write emails or answer trivia questions. They have no idea that a much deeper race is underway.

It is happening behind locked data centers, inside corporate labs, and across continents, as people build massive new AI factories before citizens even ask why they exist.

The headlines talk about ChatGPT and Gemini, but the real breakthroughs are happening in places the public never sees.

This is the race that will shape national power, the global economy, and the daily lives of everyone on earth. It is also a race most people do not know is happening.

For years, the world believed large language models would lead directly to artificial general intelligence. Just scale them up. Just give them more data. Just build bigger clusters. And BOOM: AGI.

Artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is the idea of an AI system that can learn, reason, and adapt like a human. It would not be limited to one task. It could understand problems across many fields, make decisions, plan, and apply knowledge in new situations.

In simple terms, AGI is the point where an AI stops being a tool and becomes a true problem solver that can think across domains the way people do.

Now the industry is quietly admitting something important. LLMs cannot reach real understanding. They cannot reason about the physical world. They cannot interact with reality.

They can only imitate patterns in text.

This is why the field is turning toward a new direction.

These new systems are called world models. If LLMs are brains trapped in a jar, world models are brains that can see, remember, predict, and act.

They learn how the world works.

They build internal maps of space and time.

They understand cause and effect.

They can eventually control robots, drones, vehicles, and physical infrastructure.

This is the path many scientists now believe leads to true AGI.

Yann LeCun, one of the founding fathers of deep learning, just left Meta to build a world-model startup. Meta chose not to invest. This surprised many people in the industry.

Meta is building its own AGI program called Super Intelligent Labs. Yet they let one of the most important thinkers in the field leave without backing his new vision.

Why? Because LeCun believes world models are the real path to intelligence. Meta is still betting on massive LLMs. Two philosophies, two roads, no peaceful way to combine them.

This moment may be remembered as a turning point in the AGI race. Companies that ignore world models might find themselves on the wrong side of history.

Meanwhile, Europe just announced it will build five AI gigafactories, each with about 100,000 AI chips. These are not chip manufacturing plants. They are colossal data centers designed to train frontier models at the scale of nations.

Europe is far behind the United States and China. It does not build advanced AI chips. Its best model, Mistral Large, cannot compete with American or Chinese systems. So Europe is trying to buy its way back into the race.

These gigafactories will be filled with NVIDIA hardware, not European technology. They may train non-European models. They represent both ambition and desperation.

A continent that once led the world in science is now trying to catch up before it becomes a digital colony of whichever power reaches AGI first.

With this level of computing power, Europe would be able to run continent-wide monitoring systems.

In practical terms, gigafactories give the EU the hardware necessary to manage and influence society at a level that would have been impossible even a few years ago.

While countries build AI supercenters and scientists leave major companies to start AGI labs, most people believe AI is harmless. They see playful chatbots and friendly assistants. They do not see:

• the hundred thousand chip clusters
• the energy demands that rival entire nations
• the robots learning to navigate human environments
• the quiet race to build AI that understands the real world
• the political scramble to control the next dominant intelligence on earth

By the time the public wakes up, these systems will already be embedded in everything from economics to defense.

Rapid technological change without public understanding is dangerous.

Scripture teaches that deception often works by appearing helpful, intelligent, and wise. The final global systems described in prophecy rely on influence, persuasion, and control.

Technology that understands people and interacts with the world will make it easier to build those systems.

We are watching the scaffolding go up. AI is moving from conversation to action. From imitation to understanding. From virtual worlds to the real one.

Critically Thinking About Our Health: IMO a key MENTAL component is too frequently overlooked

By John Droz, Jr.

The physical health of Americans is simply atrocious. For example, over 75% of American adults have at least one chronic disease, and the rate of child illnesses continues to grow. Considering our knowledge, scientific advancements, financial resources, etc, this is unconscionable.

The good news is that many people and groups (like RFKjr, MAHA Action, etc.) are now aggressively chipping away at this huge elephant-sized issue. I am in full support of these efforts, and (despite being time-challenged) religiously watch MAHA Action’s 1-hour weekly meeting. It rarely disappoints. (You can join, for free, here.)

That said, I have one major beef.

No one is seriously addressing the underlying mental part of this health crisis. I don’t mean mental illnesses, but rather mental ability. We can provide citizens with boatloads of great information, but if they can’t properly process it, what good is it?

Yes, to truly fix this crisis we need many more citizens to be Critical Thinkers!

Interestingly, medical people (and other good souls) immersed in trying to solve parts of our health crisis repeatedly say things like “We need to change the public’s thinking!” yet they don’t get this connection…

The human body is a collection of parts working together in various systems.

These unique elements range from relatively passive parts like a bone in your little finger to very active parts like your heart.

These complex systems range from the respiratory system to the circulatory system to the digestive system to the endocrine system.

The sophistication of these parts and systems is a major differentiation between animals and plants.

A key difference between humans and other animals is that humans have a much more advanced brain.

A human illness is a serious degradation of one or more parts or systems.

The human brain is designed for thinking critically. For example, young children are naturally inquisitive, which is a clear indication that they are developing their critical thinking skill — which is rooted in asking questions.

K-12 schools should be focused on maturing this powerful skill, which is a cornerstone of what sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom.

Instead of making this a priority, almost all US K-12 schools actually infect children with a mental illness: lemmingitis. (See my earlier related commentary.) This disease occurs when the brain’s healthy and naturally occurring critical thinking is purposefully replaced by conformity.

The result? Such a brainwashed person now has herd mentality, which means that they are not much different from many animals. Thus, the term sheeple.

Surprisingly, much of psychology (and many other treatments of what we call mental illnesses, e.g., depression) can often be traced to a lack of critical thinking skills. This results in those victims making poor decisions (regarding diet, exercise, drugs, relationships, and much more).

So, when we talk of mental illness, lemmingitis should be at the top of our list.

Put another way, the number one thing to significantly reduce Americans’ chronic illnesses is to nurture their inherent Critical Thinking ability, starting when they are youngsters.

We need to fix what goes into people’s minds before we can fix what goes in their mouths.

Put another way: until we make major inroads to restoring the critical thinking skills of Americans (e.g., starting in K-12), we have little hope to successfully restore the health of our nation.

AI in Development: The Shift from “Doer” to “Manager”

By Editorial Board – DrRichSwier.com

In this episode, we dive into the massive shift happening in software development—moving from simple code completion tools to fully autonomous “agentic layers.” Rich explains that while many “old school” developers fear AI or dismiss it because it isn’t perfect yet, they are missing the bigger picture. The industry is transitioning away from developers as mere “doers” who hammer the nails, to architects who manage intelligent agents that act as collaborators on the code base.

We break down the practical reality of this shift, highlighting how AI is already a superior debugger capable of scanning millions of lines of code in milliseconds to find errors that would take humans days. The conversation moves beyond basic prompt engineering to the concept of training agents on your specific schema, database, and user guides. This allows not just developers, but product managers and support teams, to “collaborate” with the codebase, effectively democratizing technical problem-solving.

This transformation serves as a wake-up call for the development world: the “human in the loop” is the new standard. We discuss why waiting for AI to be “perfect” is a losing strategy that will leave you behind, as AI-first projects are already seeing 100x acceleration.

10 Key Takeaways:

  1. The Agentic Layer: We are moving beyond IDE plugins to agents trained on your specific schema and user guides.
  2. Democratizing Code: Agents allow support teams and PMs to brainstorm with the codebase without needing to be developers.
  3. 100x Acceleration: AI-first development projects are accelerating at a rate of 100x compared to human-only workflows.
  4. Superhuman Debugging: AI is fundamentally better at debugging, scanning millions of lines of code in milliseconds.
  5. From “Doer” to “Manager”: The developer’s role is shifting from being the primary laborer to a “human in the loop” manager.
  6. Solving Legacy Code: AI provides a massive advantage in managing and modernizing expensive legacy code by identifying bugs instantly.
  7. Architects vs. Builders: AI handles the “scaffolding” and boilerplate, freeing developers to focus on high-level architecture.
  8. Vibe Coding: The trend of “vibe coding” is emerging, where the workflow shifts toward prompting rather than syntax writing.
  9. Testing the “Cliff”: Developers need to push AI tools to their breaking point to understand exactly where the “edge of the earth” is.
  10. Untethering: The ultimate goal of this automation is to untether humans from screens and allow us to be human again.

Give Thanks for the Fossil Fuel Industry

By The Daily Signal

Just by living in 21st-century America, you have a lot to be thankful for.

You live in the richest country in the history of the world—and one of the freest. Despite what the left claims, the benefits of wealth aren’t limited to the 1%. The amenities most people take for granted—a vehicle, washing machine, hot water on demand—would have been unimaginable luxuries for most of human history. Among poor families in America, significant majorities have air conditioning systems, televisions, microwaves and smartphones.

We’ve come a long way from what the Pilgrims had to celebrate at the first Thanksgiving. Over half of the settlers had died during the previous winter. The remaining settlers were grateful for a harvest that would help them survive the upcoming winter.

Today, most people are concerned with how many servings of turkey they can eat while still having enough room for pumpkin pie.

It’d be impossible to list all the changes over the last four centuries that have turned scarcity into opulence. The bravery and sacrifice of members of the military are near the top of the list.

So is the fossil fuel industry.

You didn’t have to hunt your turkey, kill it and clean it. A farmer did that on a farm powered primarily by fossil fuels. A truck powered by fossil fuels drove it to your supermarket. Your supermarket used fossil fuels to keep its lights on, its freezer cold and its credit card readers humming. You used fossil fuels to drive there and buy it. That’s true even if you have an electric car, because electric cars plug into an electric grid mostly powered by coal and natural gas. Fossil fuels will also heat the oven used to cook your turkey. The lights you turn on during Thanksgiving dinner, the TV you use to watch football and the dishwasher you use to clean up all run primarily on fossil fuels.

Renewable energy gets all the publicity, but wind and solar power generated only about 14% of the nation’s electricity in 2023. Fossil fuels generated 60%, with nuclear and hydropower generating over 24%.

When the Pilgrims got cold, they had to chop wood and burn it. Today, you push a button on your thermostat. Going to see family? Airplanes use fossil fuels. The iPhone you use to FaceTime Grandma wouldn’t exist without the power provided by fossil fuels.

This doesn’t mean fossil fuel companies are perfect. It doesn’t mean that there aren’t externalities to fossil fuel production, although it’s hard to take environmental alarmists seriously after decades of failed predictions. It doesn’t mean that someday a different fuel source, like nuclear power, won’t replace fossil fuels.

But without fossil fuels, Thanksgiving dinner and everything else in American life would look entirely different—and not in a good way.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Interview with Climate Scientist Tom Harris: What was COP30 in Brazil and what will it mean to citizens of Western nations

By Vlad Tepes Blog

With the left, the point is never the point, the revolution is always the point.

So when politicians have an international conference on an issue which is scientific (or medical) in nature, and what readers of this site know is in fact, a Line of Operation supported not by science, but by media driven mass line narrative attacks against the public, then it is good to sit down with a scientist and set the record straight.

Determining that the science does not support the policies is important to do, to negate the propaganda in the minds of the target audience. Which is all of us of course.

But what ultimately will be more important as the state launches more and more attacks on reality, is to be able to identify them as they happen, and know their true purpose. Like the Mass Graves at Residential schools. Which is another mass line, (this time intended to negate the right to own property or set rational limits to immigration)  and one that may not be questioned for fear of cancellation, and soon, actual criminal charges. Ministry of Truth stuff. Maybe even Ministry of Love.

As with Covid, the real issue should have been, and remains, ‘The state does NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to implement ANY of the measures it did against the public.’

In other words, the state made up a pseudo-crisis, partly real or totally imagined, which they then claimed justified exceeding state powers by orders of magnitude to mitigate. The point was obviously the power grab, as it had nothing to do with the claimed issue.

To call the new powers Ultra Vires would be an understatement.

To call them the first major wave of a communist revolution would be exactly to the point.

Canada at one point even implemented the ultimate negation of basic rights of a free people. The destruction of the right of exit. You could not leave the country without submitting to experimental mRNA injections and you had to have proof that you did, just to leave. This is not the stuff of a republic. This is the ultimate test of a communist polity. As the old saying goes, free nations have walls to keep people out. Communist nations have walls to keep people in.

So it was refreshing to sit down with Tom Harris and go over both the facts of the claims made by those who use climate as a way of destroying Western industry and liberties, as well as the consequences of agreements signed by nations that flew their private jets into the Brazilian jungle to force there rest of its to give up our cars.

A Key Energy Perspective: Energy is the Lifeblood of our Society

By John Droz, Jr.

What this chart shows are two important things:

  1. China is rapidly modernizing their country, as they are very serious about being THE global power.
  2. The US is stagnating, as annual electricity generation is a good indicator of industrialization.

What this graph does NOT reveal are some additional important matters:

  1. Almost all of China’s increase is due to their aggressive expansion of Coal generation facilities — over 100 a year, for many years! (See here.)
  2. The US is actually going downhill. Why is that? Because an increasing percentage of its electrical energy sources are now unreliable and expensive.
  3. The US is losing ground despite spending a Trillion dollars on energy facilities over this period! How can that be? Because a large part of the US expenditure is on faux energy like wind and solar.

So the bad news is that our energy policies have been heavily influenced by political agendas and outright ignorance (e.g., a lack of critical thinking).

The good news is that the current Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary, Chris Wright, is a very technically competent person who will be leading the U.S. in much more sensible directions.

UN Climate Summit Ends in Failure at Every Level

By Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow

Climate campaigners are flying home from Brazil in deep dejection following one of their worst failures ever to exploit a UN climate summit to advance their agendas.

Not only did climate radicals fail to get COP30 to agree to eliminate fossil fuels, every mention of fossil fuels and 1.5 degree climate targets was stricken from the COP’s “Global Mutirão” outcome document.

All the fig leaf campaigners came away with was a call to triple funding for climate “adaptation” and increase funding for “loss and damage.” Adaptation is UN-speak for a nation’s ability to cope with the impacts of the impending disasters projected by climate computer simulations (that have failed to materialize in reality). Loss and damage is UN-speak for compensation for bad weather experienced by poor nations (that is not caused by you).

However, even the inclusion of these funding calls represents failure. The COP30 outcome contains no concrete mechanisms to raise and distribute adaptation and loss and damage funds, nor does it contain enforcement mechanisms, revealing these as empty gestures. Similarly the promised “roadmap” for combating deforestation failed to materialize.

Read the COP30 outcome text at CFACT.org.

Members of team climate are wringing their hand and gnashing their teeth in anguish.

  • “This outcome is a failure,” said Marlene Achoki of CARE International, “At COP30, billed as the ‘COP of Truth,’ outcomes fall far short. There is no clarity on how much money is channeled to adaptation, where it will come from, its quality, or how progress will be measured.”
  • “About eighty countries have put the red line on any mention of fossil fuels in the outcome from this meeting, this UN process, this COP.  Any mention is a red line for them,” said Vanuatu’s Climate Change Minister Ralph Regenvanu.
  • “COP30’s outcome fails to even acknowledge the stark and devastating neglect of rich, historically-high polluting states to deliver on their loss and damage finance obligations. The Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage remains critically underfunded, resulting in a denial of basic human rights,” said Sinéad Loughran of the Irish NGO, Trócaire.
  • “COP30 does not deliver a plan on how countries will concretely work towards more climate action, socially just and funded climate action,” said David Knecht of Fastenaktion Switzerland.
  • “The end of COP30 in Belém feels like a ship sailing into a storm and throwing away its compass. No mention of the long-discussed roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels and no progress toward a fair, fully financed phase-out—a bitterly disappointing result,” said Susann Scherbarth of Friends of the Earth Germany.
  • “COP30 was presented as the COP of implementation, yet its outcome falls short of 1.5°C science and states’ legal obligations under the ICJ’s Advisory Opinion… It failed to deliver a time-bound fossil fuel phase-out roadmap and increased grant-based public finance,” said Erica Martinelli of Generation Climate Europe.
  • “COP30 has been one of the most opaque summits in history. The Brazilian presidency has been incapable of moving towards a final, fair decision that would allow progress on climate justice,” said Javier Andaluz Prieto, of Spain’s Ecologistas en Acción.

Climate activists are showing signs of actually giving up on the UN climate process!

After failing to accomplish anything meaningful after two weeks of negotiations, André Corrêa do Lago tried to save face by concluding COP30 by promising, “I as President of COP 30, will therefore create two road maps, one on halting and diverting deforestation, and another to transitioning away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly and equitable manner.”

The COP presidency’s twin “road maps” would take place outside the UN climate regime and would only include willing nations with no mechanisms for implementation or enforcement!

How’s that for toothless?

Colombia announced it would co-host a voluntary conference with the Netherlands on April 28–29, 2026, in Santa Marta, Colombia in which nations can discuss fossil fuel phaseouts and climate finance without the UN.

Operationally, the summit was a shambles. The host city of Belém was overwhelmed: unfinished highways carved through the rainforest, submerged power cables when it rained, a fire in the UN Blue Zone caused by dodgy wiring, last-minute diesel generators for air-conditioning, and catering that ran out of proper food and resorted to ice cream and mysterious “yellow juice” for dignitaries.

Brazilian lawyer André Marsiglia reports that, “the event was horrible, a total failure… contracts were left to the last minute and became emergency contracts to try and circumvent the bidding process.”

What would a Socialist government or a UN COP be without incompetence and corruption?

Perhaps the biggest shadow over the entire event was the empty U.S. seat. With President Trump keeping the American delegation home, the traditional whipping boy—and primary ATM—of the climate movement was absent. More importantly, without U.S. diplomatic muscle, there was no one left with enough leverage to pressure holdouts like Saudi Arabia into going along and accepting fossil-fuel phaseout language.

For those who believe sound science and affordable energy should prevail over ideological crusades, COP30’s collapse is not a tragedy—it’s a hard-won victory.

For nature and people too.

Trump ‘Winning The Climate Debate’ — Trump credited for COP-FLOP — ‘The sad, sorry state of COP’ — ‘What the f*ck are we even doing here?’

By Marc Morano from Climate Depot

Trump blamed for failure of UN climate summit!

Newsweek: ‘Trump May Be Winning the Global Climate Debate’ — POLITICO: ‘The sad, sorry state of COP’ — European Govt official: ‘What the f*ck are we even doing here?’

Morano: ‘Failure of a UN climate summit is great news for humanity!’

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano’s statement on COP30’s ending:

“Thank You, Mr. President! Trump’s masterclass move not to send U.S. delegation, blamed for failure of UN climate summit!” – (See: POLITICO: ‘The U.S. absence allowed’ BRICS nations & petro-states to team up to derail COP30)

“I have attended in-person 21 out of the past 23 international UN climate/environmental summits. I can declare that after spending a week in Brazil at COP30, it was the biggest UN climate sh*t-show ever! Thank God, President Trump chose not to send an official U.S. delegation to the UN climate summit for the first time in its history! (I was part of CFACT’s self-declared ‘unofficial’ U.S. delegation in Belém, Brazil) America’s absence helped speed along the total irrelevance of this 30th annual UN climate summit.)

Massive energy-intensive cruise ships served as temporary hotels for delegates, while hamburgers, chicken, and other beef products were sold out at the UN food court (why were there no insects on the menu?!), and the venue suffered from leaking and crumbling infrastructure.

The conference morphed into CRAP30 when the toilets failed, with world leaders going hours without access to bathrooms, and eventually leading to long lines with no toilet paper allowed in the conference center toilets. The conference then morphed into Combustion30 as it succumbed to a massive fire that shut down the entire summit. A blaze spread through the hastily built temporary venue, which felt like a windowless circus tent inside.

To sum up, we have witnessed COP FLOP. But, we must never forget, failure of a UN climate summit is great news for humanity!” (LINK to Full COP30 Round-up)

“What the f*ck are we even doing here?” asked a European government official, nursing a caipirinha at a riverside bar halfway through the two-week conference held in a city on the banks of the Amazon delta.

The U.S. absence allowed a group of emerging economies that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — known as the BRICS —to team up with petrostates, isolating the more green-oriented European Union and refusing to countenance even a reiteration of past deals to end fossil fuels.

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano: “The entire UN climate agenda has been warning about the evils and carbon footprint of air-conditioning, yet when they hold a climate summit in a tropical city, UN officials immediately scream for colder air-conditioning! You would think that the UN, which is trying to manage energy economies centuries into the future, would’ve been able to plan a climate summit that included adequate air-conditioning, functioning toilets, and insects on the menu.

UN officials chose to hold a climate summit that featured massive amounts of meat consumption (Why are insects not being served at UN COP30 food court?), air conditioning, and a climate highway that required clear-cutting of the tens of thousands of acres of Amazon rainforest for the summit. “

Moreover, said Morano, “If the U.S. had not taken a complete U-turn away from the UN’s net-zero policies under Trump, China would have been headed toward global domination of energy, transportation, and mining.” Morano then completely flipped the script on McCarthy:

Morano: “With Trump’s leadership in rejecting the climate agenda, China loves playing the role of ‘climate hero’ in order to suck up all of the gullible countries that are deluded enough to empower China further.”

State Dept. to Classify Gender Transitions for Children, Abortion as Human Rights Abuses

By Family Research Council

President Donald Trump and his administration are preparing to officially classify state-funded abortion, gender transition procedures for minors, and a host of other left-wing policies as human rights violations.

In its next annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, the U.S. State Department will update what qualifies as a human rights violation, according to The Daily Signal. State Department officials will now record other nations’ gender transition procedures for children, government-funded abortions or abortion drugs and the annual number of abortions committed, arrests or “official investigations or warnings” targeting free speech or laws targeting “hate speech,” affirmative actions and diversity policies in the workplace, permitting mass immigration into other countries, policies coercing euthanasia and assisted suicide, religious liberty violations, and “medical abuses” such as forced organ-harvesting and report those instances as human rights violations.

“In recent years, new destructive ideologies have given safe harbor to human rights violations,” principal deputy State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott told The Daily Signal. “The Trump administration will not allow these human rights violations, such as the mutilation of children, laws that infringe on free speech, and racially discriminatory employment practices, to go unchecked. We are saying enough is enough.”

The State Department records the human rights violations of all United Nations member states and all nations receiving foreign aid and submits those records to Congress annually. Earlier this year, the State Department adjusted its human rights violation reporting to leave out “LGBTQI rights,” which made frequent appearances in State Department reports under the previous administration, and focused greater attention on threats to freedom of speech in Europe.

The new State Department approach to human rights comes as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released a 410-page report determining that gender transitions for children, referred to by transgenderism advocates as “gender-affirming care,” are based on “very low-quality evidence” and pose “potential or plausible harms” to children.

In comments to The Washington Stand, Joy Stockbauer, policy analyst at Family Research Council’s Center for Human Dignity, said, “It is so encouraging to see the Trump administration recognize abortions and transgender procedures for what they are: horrific affronts to human dignity, and violations of human rights.” She continued, “Under President Trump’s leadership, this policy sends a strong message that the United States, which leads the free world, will stand up for all human life.” Stockbauer added, “I pray that the administration continues to protect life both domestically and abroad, including by permanently terminating all avenues through which the United States funds abortions using taxpayer dollars within our own borders.”

Laura Hanford, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a primary drafter of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, told TWS, “The last administration distorted the historic mission of the State Department’s Human Rights infrastructure and Human Rights Report to aggressively advance gender ideology and abortion as so-called ‘rights.’” She explained, “Billions of dollars were poured into promoting this agenda. Obama and Biden removed the religious freedom section from the Human Rights Report and added an LGBTQ section, demonstrating their ideological priorities.”

“This new directive restores the appropriate focus on the established rights of religious freedom and free speech, and clearly takes a position against harm to the most vulnerable,” Hanford continued. “This includes protecting children from invasive and permanent procedures that are not evidence-based but ideological, as demonstrated in the recent HHS report on pediatric gender medicine, among multiple systematic reviews conducted by other nations,” Hanford noted. “It includes the unborn, whose right to life has always been championed by presidents on the right side of history. And it includes the vulnerable targets — even children — of the abhorrent state-sanctioned practice of ‘euthanasia.’”

A nuclear resurgence, but major obstacles remain

By Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow

The first commercial nuclear plant started operation at Calder Hall in England in 1956. By 1970, reactors were in construction around the world. Many predicted that atomic energy would generate most of the world’s power by 2000. In 1973, President Richard Nixon stated, “It is estimated that nuclear power will provide more than one-quarter of the country’s electrical production by 1985, and over half by the year 2000.”

However, operational problems and environmental opposition would sway public opinion against atomic energy. Reactor failures at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in 1979, in Chernobyl, Ukraine in 1986, and at Fukushima, Japan in 2011, raised safety concerns. Rising costs from efforts to ensure reactor safety and disposal of nuclear waste limited new plant construction. The nuclear share of world electricity peaked in 1996 at 18%, dropping to about 9% in 2024.

Artificial intelligence (AI) now drives a rising demand for electric power. The high-tech firms, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and the newcomer OpenAI, are building data centers across the world. Since the start of 2024, the number of U.S. data centers has increased more than 50%.

To help meet the new AI power demand, the Trump administration now pushes for a nuclear resurgence. On May 23, President Trump signed four executive orders aimed at deployment of new reactors, strengthening the nuclear supply chain, and reestablishing U.S. industry leadership. In 2024, nuclear plants generated about 18% of US electricity. The presidential orders called for quadrupling U.S. nuclear capacity to 400 GW by 2050.

The power needed by artificial intelligence is huge. When data center servers that previously supported the internet and grid storage are upgraded to run AI, they require six to ten times more electricity. Meta’s Hyperion data center in northeast Louisiana, when completed, will consume twice as much power as New Orleans.

Artificial intelligence needs 24-hour, 7-day, always-on power, which intermittent wind and solar can’t provide. Companies that have committed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions view nuclear as a zero-emissions source to power AI.

Today, natural gas is the preferred onsite electricity source for new data centers in the United States. Over 200 gas-fired power plants are in planning or under construction nationwide, including more than 100 new gas plants in Texas alone.

Tesla is a solar and battery company, but last year, the firm installed 35 gas turbines to power its Colossus xAI data center near Memphis, Tennessee. Gas plants can be constructed in as little as two years at a small fraction of the nuclear cost.

Nevertheless, to help meet rising power demand, U.S. nuclear plants are being restarted or completed. Holtec International is restarting the plant in Palisades, Michigan, which was shut down in 2022. Constellation Energy and Microsoft agreed to restart the Three Mile Island #1 reactor in Pennsylvania, (not the unit that suffered the 1979 accident). Google and NextEra Energy plan to restart the Duane Arnold Energy Center in Palo, Iowa, which was shut down in 2020 after wind-storm damage. Last month, Santee Cooper signed a letter of intent with Brookfield Asset Management to complete construction of two reactors in South Carolina after construction was halted in 2017.

In October, the Trump administration signed an agreement with Cameco Corporation, Brookfield Asset Management, and Westinghouse to invest $80 billion in new or restarted large-scale nuclear plants. This government-industry partnership aims to boost the nuclear industry in the U.S. and abroad.

But large nuclear reactors continue to face cost, cycle time, and regulatory obstacles, compared to other sources. The most recently constructed U.S. nuclear plants, Vogtle units 3 and 4 in Georgia, took more than a decade to build and entered service in 2023, more than seven years late. The plants cost over $30 billion, more than $18 billion over budget.

Nuclear plants face stringent regulatory requirements. I recently spoke at a conference of plastic pipe manufacturers. An attendee told me that when he ships pipe to a typical factory, two pages of documentation are required, but that this rises to more than an inch of paperwork for pipe for a nuclear plant.

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) aim to provide the cost and cycle-time reductions needed for nuclear resurgence. Traditionally, reactors were custom designed and built on-site with capacities of about 1,000 megawatts (MW). SMRs are being designed with capacities of 10ꟷ300 MW, small in size, and able to be factory-assembled and transported as a unit to a location for installation.

In addition to targeting cost and build-time breakthroughs, SMRs are being designed for wide application and improved safety. Rather than rely on the grid, tech firms plan to build SMRs on-site to power data centers. Small reactors may soon be used to power commercial ships, military bases, and rural communities. These small plants are designed to shut down automatically in the case of failure and to minimize nuclear waste.

In August, the Department of Energy selected ten companies for fast-track SMR development, with an aggressive goal of having three test reactors up and running by July 2026. Twenty-four US companies are pursuing the SMR market.

The nuclear resurgence also appears to be underway globally. About 80 companies from 19 countries are working on SMR designs. One SMR is operating in Russia, and one is under construction in China. Russia and South Korea have begun building commercial ships with small reactors.

Trump administration efforts to expand nuclear capacity face another obstacle. The U.S. nuclear fleet of 94 operating reactors was mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s and is rapidly aging. Thirty-one of the reactors are more than 50 years old and another 36 are more than 40 years old. These reactors will need to be refurbished along with new reactor start-ups to expand the U.S. nuclear capacity.

In summary, the push for a nuclear renaissance must overcome two things. One is the need for major cost breakthroughs, so that developers can back their projects with ‘turnkey’ performance to meet quoted costs and completion dates. Second is the need for a reduction in federal regulations. If these can be accomplished, a real free market in commercial nuclear power may be possible where government subsidies are not needed.

BREAKING: Globalist Climate Conference Bursts Into Flames thumbnail

BREAKING: Globalist Climate Conference Bursts Into Flames

By The Daily Caller

A fire erupted at the United Nations climate conference in Belém, Brazil on Thursday, according to the Brazilian publication GloboNews.

Firefighters worked to extinguish the flames engulfing the pavilion roof, and the power was cut off in regions across COP30 as authorities evacuated the section known as the “Blue Zone,” according to GloboNews. One official reportedly told GloboNews that the fire is now contained.

“The COP30 organization reports that the fire that broke out in the Blue Zone pavilion area is under control and there were no injuries,” a COP30 official told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Firefighters and security teams responded promptly and continue to monitor the site. We do not yet have further information about the incident, as an investigation is underway. When we do, we will send another note through our channels.”

Over 190 countries and around 50,000 attendees are at the conference, according to multiple reports. Notably, a top United Nations official reportedly directed Brazilian authorities to immediately address concerns like leaky light fixtures, unbearable heat and insufficient security personnel at the conference on Nov. 12, according to Bloomberg.

The “Blue Zone” is a region of the conference “for official negotiations, the Leaders’ Summit, and national pavilions,” according to the COP30 website.

PRESTIGIOUS NYC OFFICE: Ruling the Rat Kingdom

By Beverly Newman, Ed. D.

An estimated 3 million rats live in New York ….How many are registered socialists?

“Two rats in a given year can reproduce 15,000 descendants,” New York City Councilmember Shaun.

“You were walking in the street rather than walking in the sidewalks because the rats owned the sidewalks.” — Nicole Rosenthal

NYC residents demand new ‘rat czar’ when Mamdani takes office: ‘Rats owned the sidewalks’

By Nicole Rosenthal

Rats, not again!

A coalition of rattl-ed Brooklynites living on notoriously rodent-infested blocks are pleading with Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to bring in a new rat czar – after their calls for the city to renew the fight against the filthy creatures allegedly fell on deaf ears.

The pair of Prospect Heights resident groups penned a letter Friday to Mamdani, urging him to reinstate the City Hall rat-fighting position, which was dissolved in September when former Rat Czar Kathleen Corradi quietly traded the role for a leadership position at NYCHA.

Carol Morrison, of the City Council member-created District 35 Rat Task Force, told The Post she is “concerned” there is no longer a point-person to resolve rodent swarms plaguing local playgrounds and backyards.

“There is no real connection between these [city] agencies, and when you have neglect … you need to have somebody on the ground,” Morrison told The Post.

NYC’s Central Park playground overrun by brazen rats who even raid baby carriages: parents

By Georgia Worrell

Central Park is turning into a squeak show.

New York City is losing the rat war in the iconic green space — where the vermin are so brazen, they routinely raid baby strollers for snacks at a besieged playground for toddlers, The Post found.

And after the rotating posse of at least a dozen “guinea pig” sized rats is done ransacking strollers at Tarr-Coyne Tots Playground at West 67th Street, some will defiantly frolic by the jungle gym near young kids, disgusted parents told The Post.

“Every single day that I go to play with my son, there will be one, two, three [rats], scurrying around and even jumping up in an area where our kids are eating their snacks. They have no shame,” said Upper West Side mom of a 3-year-old son, Amy Meyers.

No Going Back The AI Revolution in Higher Education

By Editorial Board – DrRichSwier.com

Many educators and students view AI with skepticism, often associating it with cheating or a simplified search engine. This episode challenges that perception by introducing Jen Gillespie, an assistant professor who is actively embedding AI into her psychology curriculum at the University of South Florida. Her innovative approach focuses on teaching students to use AI tools, or “AI agents,” intentionally, emphasizing ethical citation and transparent collaboration. This proactive integration aims to move students beyond casual, undocumented AI use, preparing them for a world where AI is an indispensable tool rather than a forbidden shortcut.

A core aspect of Gillespie’s redesign is introducing students to tools like Google NotebookLM, which allows them to define and query specific sources, moving beyond the generalized prompting of tools like ChatGPT. She also requires documenting AI interactions, treating AI as a “living and breathing” tool that evolves with user input, much like in a commercial setting. This structured approach helps students develop deeper critical thinking skills, transforming how they interact with information and produce work. The goal is to cultivate an environment where students engage in their own inquiry while balancing it with course learning outcomes and gradability, even with hundreds of students.

The conversation also addresses the broader implications of AI for education, positioning it as a transformative force akin to the internet’s arrival. Gillespie believes AI will fundamentally shift how education is delivered and how learning outcomes are assessed, moving away from complacency and towards rapid evolution. By openly incorporating AI and teaching responsible usage, educators can empower the next generation to be creators rather than just consumers of information, equipping them with a “magical tool” for unparalleled innovation. This proactive stance on AI in higher education is crucial for preparing students for future employment and societal contributions.

Why should I listen?

You should listen to this episode to understand how AI is being ethically and effectively integrated into higher education right now. If you’re an educator looking for practical strategies, a student wondering how AI will impact your learning, or simply curious about the future of education, this discussion offers valuable insights into fostering critical thinking and responsible AI use.

10 Key Takeaways:

  1. AI integration in education focuses on intentional use, ethical citation, and transparent collaboration.
  2. Many students are familiar with AI tools like ChatGPT for everyday tasks but lack understanding of its documented use in academic work.
  3. AI should be viewed as a “living and breathing thing” that requires feeding information, training, and manipulation for robust outcomes, similar to commercial applications.
  4. Tools like Google NotebookLM enable students to define specific information sources for AI queries, moving beyond generalized searches.
  5. Documenting AI interactions, including workflows and prompts, is crucial for accountability and traceability in academic and professional settings.
  6. AI can assist in creating detailed rubrics for grading, even for large classes, helping manage the complexities of evaluation.
  7. Educational institutions face challenges with monitoring and evaluating AI use at scale, necessitating new strategies like public links and random audits.
  8. AI is a transformative force in education, similar to the internet’s impact, making traditional gatekeeping approaches unsustainable.
  9. The shift in education will emphasize critical thinking and guiding AI, rather than simply memorizing facts or obtaining answers directly from AI.
  10. AI can enable the next generation to become creators, offering a powerful tool for innovation and changing how people learn and start their careers.

THE DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN IS OVER!

President Trump‘s week started with an epic flyover and drop-in at the Commanders and Lions game where he even joined the broadcasters in the booth. He announced $2000 payments from tariff revenue, celebrated 250 years of the Marine Corps, and joined Fox News’ Laura Ingraham and GB News’ Bev Turner for interviews.

On Veterans Day, the President participated in a wreath laying ceremony and delivered remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, and spoke with Pat McAfee on his show.

He was finally able to reopen the government after the Democrats closed it for 43 days. He participated in an executive order signing with the First Lady on “Fostering the Future”, and met with some young Americans in the Oval Office.

Vice President Vance attended the 250th Birthday Celebration for the Marine Corps, visited Walter Reed Hospital to meet wounded and recovering veterans, and delivered remarks on Veterans Day. The Vice President also joined Secretary Kennedy at the Make America Healthy Again Summit and sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity for an interview.

First Lady Melania Trump joined President Trump and delivered remarks at the signing of the “Fostering the Future” Executive Order which in her words, “aims to establish a comprehensive network connecting federal departments and agencies, private sector businesses, higher-learning institutions, and charitable organizations.”

‘That’s What Motivates People’: School Board Winners Say Gender Policies Drove Big Election Gains

By The Daily Caller

Conservatives saw major school board wins this election, proving that parents across the country are still actively working to get gender ideology out of the classroom, victors who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation explain.

Parental rights watchdog Moms for Liberty saw more than half of its school board candidates prevail on Nov. 4, with several winners attributing victory to concerns about inappropriate classroom content and issues related to gender identity policies. Moms for Liberty CEO and co-founder Tina Descovich told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the issue driving parents to the polls for school board elections is a lack of transparency with what is happening in the classroom.

“Parents feel like they don’t have access to schools the way they used to, or information about their children,” Descovich said. “And I would say parents on both sides of the aisle are concerned about transparency in education.”

Two school board winners who spoke to the DCNF strongly agreed with this notion, having both experienced attempted classroom indoctrination firsthand.

“That’s actually the reason that I originally ran for office four years ago, was because of the inappropriate material that was in our daughter’s classroom,” Danielle Lindemuth, who was reelected to the Elizabethtown Area school board in Pennsylvania, told the DCNF. “There is sexually explicit content in the books. There is a major theme of rape and incest in different ones.”

Brooke Richards-Patterson, elected to the Old Bridge Township Board of Education in New Jersey, told the DCNF she became aware of the school’s agenda to teach inappropriate content to children three years ago when a school board member began recruiting parents to speak out about the issue.

“The curriculum proposed by the state includes verbiage such as anal, oral sex, masturbation, as young as the second, third, fourth grade,” Richards-Patterson said. “My kid still believes in Santa Claus at that age, my kid’s waiting for the tooth fairy. Why is that appropriate?”

“I’m not trying to mother your kids,” Richards-Patterson continued. “If you want your kids to know all that stuff, have at it. I don’t, and a lot of us don’t. And the whole point is I should have the most say as the parent. That’s the bottom line. I want you to have that too.”

Lindemuth’s and Richards-Patterson’s districts have already seen some success with rooting out gender identity-based policies.

“We do recognize that it is something that is a parental choice. It is not a school district choice,” Lindemuth stated. “And so if a student chooses to identify as something other than their biological gender, then we have set data that the parents must be involved in the conversation, and so if they would like to change their name or their pronoun, then the parents must be the ones who sign off on that.”

“We also want to make sure that we are protecting all of our students, faculty and staff’s rights. And so within that, what we did was we made sure that if somebody has a strongly held belief that they cannot call somebody by something other than their biological gender, that they have alternatives to what they can do,” she explained. “They are not allowed to be rude and disrespectful to them, they must not use a name that the person doesn’t want to be called.”

Under the new policy, teachers are allowed to address students by “something a little more generic,” such as addressing students by their last names instead of their first names, as long as they address all students the same way. That way, “they are not using pronouns at all” while still being “very careful to make sure that they are respecting the students choice while so not infringing on their own rights.”

Richards-Patterson said her district was able to abolish a policy that allowed children to change their gender identity within the school system without their parent knowing after enough people spoke out about it.

“I wish I could hit every single door and speak to every single resident, because there are a lot of things that people are unaware of,” she told the DCNF. “Nobody knew that there was a policy that said if your child identifies as the opposite sex, they can change their name on the student portal. And you’d have no idea.”

Richards-Patterson believes her effort to inform parents of these issues is what got her elected.

“That’s what motivates people, when they feel like they’re learning more and that I want to educate them, they want to work with me,” she said.

Even when districts do not experience these issues directly, stories from other districts that make national news like the sexual assault cover-ups in Loudoun County and the registered sex offender frequenting school and public changing rooms in Arlington, Virginia make parents take a closer look at their children’s schools.

“We do absolutely see that,” Lindemuth said. “There are times where the parents do come to the school board meetings, or do contact us and say, ‘Hey, is this happening in our school? Is this something we need to worry about?’”

“It makes parents look under the covers a little bit,” Descovich said. “Take a look, parents. Wake up. Is this happening in your district?”

While Richards-Patterson’s victory shifted her district to a majority conservative board, most school districts aren’t as lucky. Despite Loudoun on Nov. 4 electing its second member who is willing to defend girls’ spaces from biological males, the rest of the board generally remains unfriendly to this idea.

Descovich, however, advises parents and school boards in similar situations not to lose hope.

“One school board member can make a huge difference if, at a very least, they are exposing what’s going on in the district, because they have access, they have a lot more access than the average parent in the community, if they are just sharing the information out and exposing what’s going on, it is so worth having just even one school board member, even if they’re getting outvoted,” Descovich said. “This isn’t a quick fix. We did not get into this mess in education in one election cycle, and we’re not going to get out of it and one election cycle. It’s just been decades of unions dominating school boards and education in America, and it’s going to take decades to fix it.”

Seventeen candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty won their school board races this election, making up a fraction of the 500 total races the organization has influenced over the last three years.

“We’re at a peak of education reform in this country,” Descovich said. “All of this really is going to lead to this golden age in America that we’re looking forward to, where we’re going to go from only a third of kids reading in America, only 22% of high school seniors being able to pass a civics test, to a place where our children can be enriched and they can be bold supporters of the good, the beautiful and the true, and they can be educated citizens again and have the ability to self-govern.”
