As Left Embraces Green New Deal, CEOs Blast Unaffordable ‘Fantasy'
Democratic presidential front-runner, former Vice President Joe Biden gave Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ Green New Deal a big bear hug, with the release of his 22-page climate plan June 4. The Atlantic called it a “mini green new deal” and Biden claimed it will create around 10 million jobs while reducing U.S. net-emissions to zero by 2050. Sure. Business leaders have a very different opinion…
Grist ‘Investigates’ DiCaprio’s Climate Activism, But Falls Short
Liberal Hollywood celebrities love to talk about saving the planet from climate change. They blame carbon-spewing humans for planetary crisis, all while living like hypocrites.

Ironically, he was nearly outed by the…
WashPost Gushes Over Left-Wing CEO's Push for Gun Control

Can’t Buy Me Love? CNBC Says Marriages at Risk in ‘Strong Economy’
A healthy and growing economy should be good news, but CNBC claimed it could put marriages at risk.

Bill Nye: There’s a ‘Pearl Harbor’ Moment Every Week on Climate
It’s hard to follow a stunt like setting a globe aflame and proclaiming the world is “on fucking fire” because of global warming, but Bill Nye “The Science Guy” managed in it a CNN podcast interview.

Guardian Smears Morano, GOP as 'Extinction Deniers'
Not content solely to use the offensive “climate denier” term against dissenting views on climate change, a Guardian writer adopted the term “extinction deniers” in a tirade against skeptics on May 23.

Camping World CEO: U.S. Flag ‘Not Coming Down’

Dems’ Wall Street Tax Plans Fall Flat on CNBC
Even CNBC's more liberal anchor wasn't thrilled with newly announced plans from Democratic candidates to tax Wall Street transactions.

Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Pete Buttigieg (D-IN) to tax Wall Street to pay for expensive things like "free"…
Fall TV Targets ‘Greedy’ Business, Tech and ‘Filthy Rich’ Christians
