96 Percent Of Spendy Green Policies Do Jack Squat To Reduce Emissions

Published

on

The Biden-Harris administration has spent more of taxpayers’ money on climate policies than any previous U.S. administration. But a new study found that most of the climate policies enacted in the last 25 years, including the ones the Biden-Harris administration imposed on American businesses and consumers, haven’t work.

The study, published in the Journal of Science, evaluated about 1,500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 by 41 OECD countries (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development). The study found only 63 policies (about 4 percent) that, combined, had successfully “reduced total emissions between 0.6 and 1.8 Gt CO2.” Due to the low success rate, researchers estimate the CO2 emissions from the 41 nations they studied will exceed the Paris Climate Agreement target by 23 billion metric tons by 2030.

More importantly, the study found that two popular tools most governments’ climate policies rely on — subsidies and regulations — rarely reduce emissions. Researchers found some form of carbon tax approach was more effective at reducing emissions. As the Wall Street Journal columnist Holman Jenkins summarized: “Taxing carbon reduces emissions. Subsidizing ‘green energy’ doesn’t.” This conclusion is nothing new. Jenkins recalled that a 2013 National Research Council study sponsored by the Obama administration (when Joe Biden was the vice president) also concluded subsidies were a “poor tool for reducing greenhouse gases and achieving climate-change objectives.”

Still, the Biden-Harris administration kept throwing more taxpayer money on these failed approaches. Following the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that pledged over $110

Trump Becomes First GOP Presidential Candidate To Win Nevada Since 2004

Published

on

President-elect Donald Trump is projected to win Nevada’s six electoral votes, becoming the first GOP presidential candidate to win the state since 2004.

According to The New York Times, preliminary results show the soon-to-be 47th president leading Kamala Harris in the Silver State by 3.3 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated. The projection was made early Saturday morning, days after Trump officially secured the minimum 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White House.

In a statement provided to The Federalist, Chuck Muth, president of the Nevada-based Citizen Outreach Foundation, attributed Trump’s victory in the Silver State to men who “saw a clear and present danger in putting Kamala Harris in the Oval Office.”

“They did what traditional men do when confronted with a serious threat — they showed up and voted for Trump,” Muth said. “Traditional men, with ample support from strong, intelligent women, saved America.”

The Associated Press projected that incumbent Democrat Sen. Jacky Rosen defeated Republican Sam Brown in the Silver State’s Senate race. As of this article’s publication, Rosen leads Brown by 1.4 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated.

While often used to shape public opinion rather than gauge it, polling showed Rosen with a comfortable lead heading into Election Day. According to the RealClearPolitics average, the incumbent Democrat was estimated to defeat her GOP opponent by 4.9 points.

In addition to Trump’s victory, Republicans experienced success in state legislature races.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, the

Stop Crying On The Internet. It’s Embarrassing And Pathetic

Published

on

President-elect Donald Trump’s White House win this week was his first electoral victory in the TikTok era. Liberal tears might have flowed across the internet eight years ago, but that was nothing compared to the flooding that overtook the left’s favorite video platform after Trump triumphed for a second time.

The online teardrops started tumbling even before the former president reclaimed the title earlier this week.

“I hate you, you f-ck-ng orange pumpkin,” said one sobbing woman. “You just cost me one of the most important people in my life, my dad.”

Because only a totally normal and healthy person would post a sob story about disavowing family members over political differences on the internet.

Of course, plenty more tears from random leftists infected with Trump derangement syndrome followed once these individuals’ declared antichrist sailed to re-election. Here are some of the worst clips (or best, depending on the viewer’s perspective) circulating the internet:

Leftists constantly publishing videos of themselves crying on camera isn’t just incredibility cringe, the behavior is conclusive evidence of extreme narcissism, and it happens all the time — even when there’s no election to cry about.

Whether they’re complaining about being “misgendered” or working too hard, TikTok has way too many young people sobbing about their lives openly online as if the world were ending. The tragic reality is that these people are obviously lacking when it comes to forming genuine relationships with others beyond social media followers. The

‘A Real Mess’: Milwaukee Again Delivers An Election Night Debacle

Published

on

Having lived through the shenanigans of the 2020 election, Brian Schimming and Ron Johnson, Wisconsin’s senior senator, weren’t about to take any chances in Milwaukee. 

Schimming, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, got word that there was a problem with tabulators at Milwaukee’s Central Count on Election Day. It was a big problem. 

As The Federalist reported, the seals on 13 vote tabulation machines appeared to have been tampered with. The doors on the tabulators were not secured. Thankfully, Republican observers noticed the problem and called GOP officials. 

‘Human Error’

Schimming and Johnson arrived at Milwaukee’s Baird Center (a downtown convention hall and site of Central Count operations) at around 7 p.m. on Tuesday and were confronted by a mob of reporters and cameras, Schimming told me in an interview. The top Republicans took a tour of the massive, multi-gymnasium-style floor. They were joined by the party’s election integrity team. Milwaukee Election administrator Paula Gutiérrez guided them to the tabulators. 

“Ron had some pointed questions for her. He said, ‘Oh, by the way, is the video available?’” Schimming said. Video surveillance of the machines and the Central Count operations is required, and, yes, the video must be made available for public inspection. “It got a little chippy. [Gutiérrez] did not appear to be happy there. I wasn’t going to lose any sleep over that.”

Gutiérrez, who replaced controversial Milwaukee elections chief Claire Woodall-Vogg after she was fired in May, told the press that it was all a matter of
