The scientific community and the media are focused almost exclusively by how greenhouse gas emissions affect the climate — from power plants to automobiles to your fireplace to your gas stove, and even cow farts. But what about that big ball of gas in the sky? Why does it get short shrift when it comes to the causes of climate change?

1 month ago | heartland.org | Linnea Lueken |Jim Lakely

Who actually runs this country? Voters asked for real change in November, and Donald Trump and his team are doing all they can to deliver it as quickly as possible. Yet federal judges use questionable authority to thwart it, keeping the Deep State status quo of unaccountable opposition to the people’s will — which includes shoveling YOUR MONEY to their connected leftist cronies. Who is really in charge of the Executive Branch of the United States?

The Heartland Institute’s Tim Benson wrote a paper analyzing the money funneled to green groups through the Inflation Reduction Act, where everything predictably cost way more than our government claimed.

Is it Over for the MSM? - In The Tank #485

The FBI is investigating an alleged “honeypot” operation against the 2016 Trump campaign, in which Comey’s FBI may have planted female agents to try to compromise Trump. It has been a tough week for our mainstream media elites—multiple MSM personalities were fired or retired, and Jake Tapper is pretending he wasn’t involved in covering up Biden’s obvious decline.
All the Narratives are Collapsing - In The Tank #484

2 months ago | heartland.org | Linnea Lueken |Jim Lakely

The “experts” are still trying to rewrite the narrative on the government response to COVID, and one of President Trump’s picks supports the questionable PRO Act. Meanwhile, VP Vance had strong words for the Orwellian language controls in Germany, and DOGE continues to uncover corrupt and wasteful government spending.
