The Week Climate Catastrophism Lost Its Grip
By The Heartland institute October 28, 2025Last week may go down as the moment when the climate narrative finally cracked. In climate parlance, a “tipping point” occurred.
In the space of a few days, two events reached millions of people outside the usual scientific and media gatekeeping apparatus, and they both told the same heretical story: that the science of climate catastrophe isn’t nearly as settled, nor as dire, as we’ve been told.
First, the world’s most-watched podcaster, Joe Rogan, hosted two of the most-respected dissenting climate scientists alive, Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT and Dr. William Happer of Princeton, for a long-form conversation about the actual evidence behind global warming claims. The second event came from inside the climate establishment itself: Ted Nordhaus, founder of the Breakthrough Institute and once a self-described climate activist, published an essay titled “Why I Stopped Being a Climate Catastrophist.”
Each, in its own way, exposed the gulf between scientific nuance and political narrative — and together they may mark a turning point in public understanding.
For years, the mainstream press and peer-review gatekeepers ensured that anyone who questioned climate orthodoxy was dismissed as a “denier.” That tactic doesn’t work when Joe Rogan, whose audience dwarfs CNN’s, sits across the table from two emeritus professors calmly explaining why CO₂ is not the planetary thermostat it’s made out to be.
Lindzen and Happer have impeccable credentials. They are not bloggers, not “influencers,” but physicists who spent decades inside the world’s top research institutions. Their message was simple: the climate system is complex, and the claim that we can fine-tune global temperature with carbon taxes and wind turbines is fantasy.

President Trump awarded my friend Charlie Kirk a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom this month. As a country, we need to honor Charlie’s memory, face some hard facts and take action. Before it’s too late.
Charlie’s assassination forced Americans to confront a dark truth: Leftist extremists are waging war on the rule of law, liberty and our way of life. Terrorists, gang members and rioters routinely attack federal law-enforcement officers working to reimpose order after years of chaos under the Biden administration.
Our officers have been shot at and assaulted. They have faced death threats, doxxing and confrontations at their homes. Spotter networks in Chicago linked to street gangs and Mexican cartels track the movements of officers for Customs and Border Protection as well as Immigration and Customs Enforcement, relaying locations and enabling ambushes during routine enforcement operations.
This month a member of the Latin Kings gang was charged with putting a bounty on the life of Border Patrol Commander at Large Gregory Bovino. The illegal alien charged with placing that bounty was arrested, has pleaded not guilty, and will face justice. The incident shows the enormous risk law-enforcement officers face to make our cities safe again.
A self-styled anarchist website in Portland, Ore., encouraged supporters to use high-powered laser pointers to bring down federal helicopters in the area.
In Dallas an anti-ICE terrorist opened fire on an ICE facility intending to kill officers. Instead, he killed two detainees. In Alvarado, Texas, Antifa terrorists ambushed ICE officers at a detention facility, wounding a local police officer in the neck.
Despite all this, pro-crime politicians seem intent on dismissing the violence, even encouraging it by stripping protections from law-enforcement officers. That is why our officers wear masks. Protecting their identity is one way to prevent bad actors from targeting their homes and threatening their families. Some politicians want to deprive officers of this protection, knowing that doing so puts their lives in grave danger. They tell local police to stand down while federal law-enforcement officers fight for their lives.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law purporting to ban federal law enforcement from wearing masks on duty. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has threatened federal officers with prosecution for enforcing immigration law. Antifa continues its attacks on law enforcement and innocent civilians in Portland, while city “leaders” hamstring the local police.
I met with Portland Mayor Keith Wilson last month to request more security measures for our law-enforcement officers who have been under attack for months in his city. Mr. Wilson responded by publishing an op-ed attacking federal law-enforcement officers for doing the job he refuses to do.
Portland’s problems go well beyond mere refusal to enforce the law. Its City Council continues to cut the police bureau’s budget. Portland ranks 48th among America’s 50 largest cities in the ratio of police staffing to population. Meanwhile leftist rioters, Antifa terrorists and violent criminals run wild.
That is why the federal government must step in, enforce the law and stand up to the violence that these politicians cannot or will not confront—as it did in Memphis, Tenn., Chicago and the District of Columbia. President Trump is tackling the crisis head on, including designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media continues to demonize ICE and Department of Homeland Security officers, contributing to the 1,000% increase in assaults on officers this year compared with 2024.
We shouldn’t be all that surprised. Democrats won’t denounce Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones’s text messages wishing violence on his political opponents and their young children. At No Kings rallies, many Democrats gave speeches and made common cause with protesters, reveling in violent symbolism, mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination and calling for ICE agents to be gunned down.
The threat goes beyond the criminals, rioters and terrorists themselves to their enablers. That includes the network of nonprofits that support extremist ideology, recruit pro-crime district attorneys, and pay to release violent criminals on bond.
This climate of political violence is against everything our founders wanted. They fought a revolution so that we as a people could solve disagreements by what Alexander Hamilton called in the Federalist Papers “reflection and choice” over “accident and force.” Those on the left stoking this violence need to turn the temperature down before more people are hurt or killed.
Regardless, DHS won’t give up this fight for rule of law and will take all appropriate measures to keep our officers safe. There will be no sanctuary for those who threaten our Republic and our way of life.
Political violence is a deadly problem. The Trump administration understandably feels obliged to respond, and the resulting debate has focused on the enablers of violence, especially whether nonprofits and their donors are to blame.
The Capital Research Center, which specializes in studying nonprofits, has been caught up in the debate. The Justice Department urged federal prosecutors to read a report by the center on George Soros’s Open Society Foundations as prosecutors consider whether to investigate Open Society and its grantees. A New York Times piece last week criticized the center and the report.
To clarify this debate, we must distinguish between speech and lawbreaking. No donor or grantee should be criminally prosecuted for speech. Only those who violate laws should face legal jeopardy.
Another important distinction is between violating nonprofit laws versus breaching criminal laws. Capital Research Center reports have long documented apparent nonprofit-law violations that involve many areas of “charitable” work and span many donors on the left. In the present debate, the most obvious nonprofit law at issue is the Internal Revenue Service’s half-century rule that neither 501(c)(3) charities nor 501(c)(4) nonprofits may urge civil disobedience that breaks laws. The First Amendment protects the right to advocate such lawbreaking, but a nonprofit that enjoys tax privileges can lose those privileges for supporting unlawful conduct. The Times ignores this distinction, even though it admits that nonprofits criticized in the center’s report “encouraged U.S. activists to block roads or destroy property during protests.”
Compared with tax-law cases, criminal prosecutions of nonprofits or their donors would rightly face a much higher bar, because it must be proved that they intended to facilitate lawbreaking. Investigations in this area should begin by focusing on people who commit crimes before expanding outward to target any nonprofits or donors for aiding criminal acts.
Again, such charges won’t be easy to prove. Aiding and abetting a crime entails knowingly and intentionally assisting in its commission, while a conviction for conspiracy requires proving that a defendant intentionally entered into an agreement to commit a crime, and then an overt act in support of the conspiracy was carried out. If the Open Society Foundations’ claims of innocence are true, they have nothing to fear.
On the other hand, some nonprofit observers point to examples like the shutdown of streets surrounding Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport last year by the radical anti-Israel group A15 Action. Those blockages arguably violated federal civil-rights law. A Tides Center group advertised online in advance that it was raising money to bail out any A15 members who were arrested, which arguably makes Tides an accomplice or conspirator to the crimes that led to arrests.
Prosecuting A15 or Tides would be unconventional for federal prosecutors, but not necessarily unjustifiable under existing law. A federal judge in Illinois has rejected a civil suit based on a similar legal theory, but that case, Manhart v. WESPAC Foundation, is under appeal, with friend-of-the-court briefs in support from a dozen states and the Manhattan Institute.
Prosecutions that use traditional criminal laws would be more likely to succeed than ones using the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations laws, as often suggested by those who favor legal action against left-wing nonprofits and donors. RICO prosecutions require building complicated cases and usually take years to resolve.
However they are brought, any prosecutions should aim to strengthen the rule of law and America’s vigorous, highly diverse civil society. We suffer from both political violence and prosecutorial abuses, as no one knows better than President Trump. While conservatives should be wary of setting any precedent for overzealous prosecutions, left-leaning nonprofits and donors should honestly examine whether they are respecting nonprofit and criminal laws alike.
From London to New York, author’s warning about Islam’s bloody borders unfolds in real time
By Don Feder October 26, 2025
Samuel Huntington’s classic “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order,” first published in 1996, may be the most insightful book written about terrorism’s war on the West because it gets to the heart of the conflict.
A Harvard professor for four decades, Mr. Huntington went from respected scholar to intellectual pariah for his controversial book. He wrote that after the Cold War, conflicts would be driven not by nation-states but rather by culture and religion.
Mr. Huntington coined the expression “Islam’s bloody borders” to explain its inability to coexist with others. To suggest that Islam was something other than the religion of peace outraged the left.
Since the publication of “The Clash of Civilizations,” we have had the World Trade Center attack (3,000 dead), the Oct. 7, 2023, assault on Israel (1,200 dead), the war in the Gaza Strip, a continuation of mass Muslim migration to Europe and Islam’s growing influence in the United States.
London has had a Muslim mayor since 1997. New York is about to get one. In London, mobs march in the streets, howling for Jewish blood. A lawyer there was recently arrested for wearing a Star of David near a pro-Hamas rally. The bobbies called it incitement.
In Nottingham, a prominent imam called on Muslims to take up arms against “White people,” who he says are planning to wipe them out. In the month since Asrar Rashid’s violent video was posted, the authorities have taken no action.
The city of Manchester has banned Israeli fans from an upcoming soccer match after a Muslim politician threatened a riot. “We will not show them mercy,” said Ayoub Khan, a member of the British Parliament.
In Britain, they ban the targets of violence, not those inciting violence. A record 25 members of Parliament are Muslims, up from 19 in 2019.
Several German cities have canceled their traditional Christmas markets because of security concerns. On Dec. 24, 2024, a Saudi refugee drove a car into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, killing five and injuring as many as 200.
Less than two weeks later, an American convert to Islam drove a pickup truck into a crowd celebrating New Year’s Day in New Orleans, killing 15 and injuring 37.
On Nov. 4, Zohran Mamdani, who has a double-digit lead over his opponents, will likely be elected the mayor of New York. Both a Muslim and a Marxist, Mr. Mamdani has radical ties up the wazoo, including a $100,000 donation from the Hamas-aligned Council on American Islamic Relations. He was recently seen campaigning with Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who, before the 1993 World Trade Center attack, sponsored appearances at his mosque by Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, mastermind of the atrocity.

Jamie Dimon has his MAGA moment, and not a moment too soon
October 17, 2025 | By Liz PeekJamie Dimon, widely regarded as the most influential banker of this generation, has gone full MAGA. It couldn’t have come at a better time.
China’s president, Xi Jinping, is waging an economic war against the U.S., and our country needs to push back hard. As President Trump attempts to curb China’s unfair trade practices, America’s vulnerabilities are on full display. Despite the critical importance of the U.S. consumer to China’s struggling economy, the White House’s threat of punitive tariffs has not swayed Beijing. Xi is meeting — and, indeed, topping — Trump’s tariffs with measures such as blocking exports of rare earths, possibly crippling much of U.S. industry.
Beijing has the U.S. economy in a choke-hold, taking advantage of our dependence on Chinese rare earths and other critical goods where they have purposefully staked out a dominant position. Our country needs an all-out Manhattan Project-like effort to address those vulnerabilities, and JPMorganChase’s CEO has pledged to help. Other American businesses need to step up as well.
Dimon committed in recent days to make direct equity and venture capital investments of up to $10 billion in four areas essential to America’s future. The capital infusions will help facilitate $1.5 trillion of investment over 10 years, mostly in the U.S. The bank had previously committed to finance some $1 trillion in sectors targeted by Dimon. The recent pledge ups the ante by 50 percent.
The focus of that investment will be in four areas: strengthening our supply chain and beefing up advanced manufacturing of critical products; developing advanced defense technology, including secure communications; establishing energy independence, including battery storage and grid resilience; and pursuing “frontier” and strategic technologies like AI, cybersecurity and quantum computing.
These are areas vital to U.S. expansion, and are also a focus of the Trump White House. As Dimon pledges to invest in these sectors, he is also advocating “to remove obstacles that stand in the way: excessive regulations, bureaucratic delay, partisan gridlock and an education system not aligned to the skills we need.”
These ambitions are exactly in line with the America First agenda. Trump has called repeatedly for permitting reform and other policies that could speed up our country’s abilities to take advantage of fast-moving technologies, and also to counter threats from overseas. Dimon shares those objectives, describing the bank’s commitment as a matter of national security. He is correct.
Dimon’s program includes investments in 27 sub-areas, including shipbuilding, munitions, nuclear energy and, of course, artificial intelligence. Reshoring is one theme, which of course has been a top priority for the president. Trump’s trade initiatives are not only meant to level the playing field and make U.S. companies more competitive, but are also intended to bring manufacturing back to the United States.

Soros Getting Ready For Showdown Against Trump AdministrationBy Tyler Durden October 20, 2025A Justice Department official recently instructed attorneys to launch an investigation into billionaire George Soros and his son Alex’s influential Open Society Foundations, a move that sent shockwaves across the leftwing NGO-Democrat complex/
President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused George and Alex Soros, both major Democratic donors, of funding violent protests and engaging in unlawful activities, while the president has even suggested the possibility of charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). These allegations stem from a report by the Capital Research Center, a conservative research organization, which claims Soros-backed groups like the environmental Sunrise Movement have connections to terrorism.
Unsurprisingly, the Open Society Foundations and the Sunrise Movement have strongly denied these allegations.
“We condemn terrorism and we do not fund terrorism, period,” Open Society Foundations President Binaifer Nowrojee said in a statement. In a separate statement, a Sunrise Movement spox claimed that the climate alarmist organization is committed only to nonviolent activism.
The administration is simultaneously pursuing IRS reforms that would strengthen the agency’s ability to conduct criminal inquiries into progressive organizations. Open Society Foundations is projected to distribute $1.4 billion in grants this year to various causes, including Planned Parenthood’s advocacy arm and climate change initiatives in Africa, the Journal reports. The far-left Soros organization told the Murdoch-owned newspaper that it has not received direct contact from the IRS or the Department of Justice but is preparing legal briefs in anticipation of potential inquiries.
Despite the prospect of facing accountability, Open Society Foundations refuses to back away from supporting its far-left causes. “We won’t be intimidated into silence,” Nowrojee told the Journal. “One of the playbooks of authoritarianism is to close a space through threats and to try and chill speech.”
George Soros recently made a $10 million donation to Democrat efforts to redraw California’s congressional map, marking the largest single contribution aimed at countering Republican redistricting initiatives.
Before the current investigation began, Soros had already been supporting organizations that actively oppose President Trump’s policies.
The Open Society Action Fund provided a $3 million grant in 2023 to Indivisible, an organization managing data and communications for the “No Kings” protests, Fox News reports. Since 2017, Soros’s foundations have awarded Indivisible a total of $7.61 million. In 2017, Indivisible also received $350,000 from Tides Advocacy, part of the Tides Network, which has previously faced scrutiny for its connections to controversial campus protests.
As ZeroHedge reported, Soros money is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to far-left groups’ opposition to Trump:
The nation is waking up to the fact that dark-money NGO networks, including the Arabella Network, Soros Network, Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Tides Foundation, Rockefeller Network, Singham Network, and many others, are funneling millions of dollars into what investigative researchers Peter Schweizer and Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute call “Riot, Inc.” – the permanent protest industrial complex and the engine behind “No Kings 2.0” partners and organizers. These protests are far from organic; this movement is manufactured, coordinated, and entirely artificial.

At a time when America finds itself dealing with pro-terrorist rallies on college campuses, the U.S. government providing military arms and equipment to Islamic countries, and Americans deeply concerned about impending terrorist threats and Islamic law (sharia) being imposed and adjudicated in local communities, how does the average person come to understand these issues? How can an effective solution be reached when few really seem to know what is going on?
It is helpful to begin with the understanding that the Islamic world sees everything through the same lens. That lens is sharia.
In Islam, sharia — “Allah’s divine law” — is the blueprint for how to live. It is what Islam seeks to impose on the Earth.

First, consider Iran.
Iran was flush with cash, on a trajectory toward a nuclear weapon, and arming Israel’s “ring of fire” enemies: Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
The radical Islamic world of the Middle East was convinced that Israel would be doomed eventually.
Yet both Democratic administrations let Iran profit from oil sales.
They talked of delaying, but not ending, Iran’s nuclear program. And they feared that Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis were indomitable terrorist threats.
Thus, the disruptors of peace were appeased rather than deterred.
Two, both former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden pressured Israel in general and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in particular to make constant concessions.

What it is, really, is a backdoor way to have control over every aspect of the lives of everyday Britons, including what they eat.
Case in point, food in the UK is now labeled with how much of someone’s “daily dietary carbon allowance” is used up by eating that item.
A sandwich is 8.1% of our “daily allowance.”

The score will be attached to digital IDs. The Left has made it very clear they want to limit what, and how much, we eat in order to “save the planet.”
This is a great way to do that.
Those same Leftists will, of course, be exempt from such rules.

The Army is developing next-generation mobile nuclear reactors under a program announced Tuesday. It promises to have “at least one” working reactor by summer 2026 as part of a push to ensure reliable power generation at military installations and for forward-deployed troops.
Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announced the new initiative, known as the Janus Program, at the Association of the United States Army convention in downtown Washington. Officials said the development and production of next-generation mobile nuclear reactors — some small enough to fit on the backs of trucks — will help advance America’s nuclear industry. That industry, they said, has seen a great deal of innovation in recent years but has been “smothered” by the continued fear of nuclear energy.
Officials said energy resilience is a central goal.
“Janus is the god of the Roman god of transitions,” said Dr. Jeff Waksman, a deputy assistant secretary of the Army, during a panel at the AUSA conference. “This is about the transition from prototypes to fully commercial nuclear power to provide energy resilience for our soldiers.”
During that panel discussion, Mr. Wright highlighted the long history of collaboration between the military and the Energy Department, dating back to World War II and the Manhattan Project.
“The military and the Department of Energy [have] been linked since we started,” Mr. Wright said.
Many of the technologies on display at AUSA will drastically increase the demands for power supply in the field, making the prospect of mobile reactor units an extremely valuable one for the Army.
“What we, the Army, are trying to do is be a convener and a host for American entrepreneurship and American industry,” Mr. Driscoll said, adding that the Janus Program is the next step in that philosophy.
The Army’s Janus Program aligns with a broader push by the Trump administration to accelerate the production of new reactors and to use nuclear power more broadly across the nation, and to do so quickly. Mr. Wright said that he expects to see movement on the program and an actual reactor “before July 4 of next year.”
In May, President Trump announced plans for a “nuclear renaissance” that called for quadrupling the nation’s power output by 2050, including 300 gigawatts of net new capacity. One gigawatt of power can provide electricity to about 750,000 homes. The president’s executive called for the operation of an Army-regulated nuclear reactor at a domestic military installation no later than September 2028.

Democrats created ObamaCare and expanded subsidies without Republican help. Now they’re blaming the GOP for not saving them from the disaster they created.
B y Nate Jackson October 8, 2025
ZERO.
That’s the number of Republicans who voted to create the grossly misnamed Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) in 2010. It’s the number of Republicans who voted for the grossly misnamed and historically inflationary American Rescue Plan in 2021, which expanded subsidies for marketplace health insurance plans under the guise of the COVID emergency. And it’s the number of Republicans who voted for the again grossly misnamed — by Joe Biden’s own admission — Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which extended those expanded subsidies.
ZERO.
Democrats are solely responsible for the fiscal and health disaster that is ObamaCare.
Yet they keep blaming Republicans for the Chuck Schumer Shutdown because Republicans didn’t do a 180 and include the expanded subsidies they never wanted or voted for in the continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government open. Most Republicans are not inclined to save Democrats from the budget monster they created.
The House passed a clean CR. Senate Democrats are blocking it from reaching the 60-vote threshold, holding the government hostage for extended subsidies — hence the shutdown.
For nearly 20 years, Democrats have been lying to you about the cost of ObamaCare. It will reduce premiums, they swore over and over. Spoiler alert: It didn’t.
When Democrats passed the law, they front-loaded its revenue provisions while delaying its outlays to make the 10-year cost appear more favorable, but it has cost taxpayers more than $2 trillion over the last 15 years. When COVID came along, Democrats saw an opportunity to expand the number of people on the federal exchange, but doing so meant spending more money on subsidies, and they fully intended to make that a permanent new feature of the entitlement.
“These emergency subsidies were supposed to be temporary,” notes Matthew Continetti. “The original legislation ended them in two years. But in 2022, as part of the absurdly named Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats extended them until 2025. Now they’re set to go on December 31.”
Economics 101: Subsidies don’t reduce the price for something; they just redistribute the cost. In fact, most often, subsidies raise prices by increasing demand without also increasing supply.
