Bill Gates Admits Climate Change Not the End of the World After All

By Bryan Chai | The Western Journal If you’ve paid any attention to the discourse surrounding the weather in the last 30 years, you’ve no doubt heard from some climate change alarmists. From Greta Thunberg to Bill Gates, “climate change” was the looming, apocalyptic Sword of Damocles threatening to end life as we know it. As time wore on, however, fewer and fewer people were inclined to believe that these doomsday predictions (whose dates kept getting moved back) were actually rooted in science. In fact, Thunberg has all but abandoned her original pet cause to move on to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But Gates? He’s still talking about climate change — but the tune he’s singing may surprise you. (Of note, keep in mind that Gates was and is a proponent of syntheti...

Young Americans are dropping trans and queer labels, study finds sharp cultural shift

By Bryan Chai | The Western Journal Critics of transgenderism have often described the trend as a “social contagion.” A blistering new report from the Centre for Heterodox Social Science just gave that label newfound heft. In short, the report found that, after surging in the 2010s and 2020s, trans and “queer” identities are in sharp decline among young Americans. Colleges — typically maligned as being the breeding ground for far-leftism in 2025 — saw the number of trans-identifying students cut nearly in half after its peak in 2023. That year, nearly 7 percent of college students identified as trans. That number now sits at less than 4 percent. The report also made a point to note that that percentage could drop even further soon: “Today’s freshmen are less BTQ...

Texas takes bold stand against radical teachers after 100+ hit list discovered

By Johnathan Jones | Commentary, The Western Journal Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed on social media Monday that more than 100 teachers in his state are being removed from the classroom. These educators will lose their jobs, their teaching certificates, and the ability to ever lead students astray in Texas again. Their offense? Glorifying or celebrating the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk last week. Abbott responded to a post on X that claimed Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath was investigating teachers. Morath made clear where the state stands. “While all educators are held to a high standard of professionalism, there is a difference between comments made in poor taste and those that call for and incite further violence — th...

Elon Musk Slams “Soft-on-Crime” Policies in Clash With Governor Polis

By: Michael Austin | The Western Journal Elon Musk confronted Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis over a violent criminal released back on the streets, prompting a response from the official that failed to acknowledge how he signed a law allowing such circumstances to arise. The exchange came after Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams revealed to residents that under Colorado law, he was forced to release Debisa Ephraim, who was deemed incompetent to stand trial, into the public on Monday. Ephraim was arrested on second-degree murder and assault charges after he allegedly attacked residents in an unprovoked manner, per a report from CBS News. Reams remarked in a video that Ephraim has had several encounters with police. “It is a very violent crime, and how rapidly this person ha...

Social media erupts with hate after Charlie Kirk’s death

By Samuel Short | Commentary, The Western Journal The absolutely vile reaction from the political left to TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination Wednesday has prompted several social media platforms to respond regarding the pure evil now on display on their websites. The Verge compiled a series of statements from those sites include Bluesky, Meta, Reddit, YouTube, and Discord. “Glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky’s Community Guidelines,” Bluesky’s statement read. “We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we’re committed to fostering healthy, open conversations.” Spokesperson Francis Brennan for Meta stated “we remove the most graphic content and add warning labels t...

Trump Cites Paid Agitators Hints at RICO Scrutiny for Soros Network

By Joe Saunders | The Western Journal The American left’s most infamous financial backer could be looking at a federal investigation. On “Fox & Friends” Friday, President Donald Trump said billionaire George Soros could be subject to federal racketeering laws for bankrolling “professional agitators” who have been behind protests around the country. And he cited his own experience at a Washington, D.C., restaurant this week as Exhibit A. “You know they have professional agitators,” Trump told the “Fox & Friends” hosts. “I had one the other night. I went into the restaurant and this woman stood up. I looked at her immediately. She had money… They get paid for it.” The incident took place Tuesday, when Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio,...

Poll reveals stark divide between conservative young men and liberal young women

 By Johnathan Jones | Commentary, The Western Journal NBC News published polling on Monday that revealed a deep divide among young voters on serious social issues. The results found conservative men and liberal women hold starkly different views on success, family, and personal fulfillment. Steve Kornacki of the NBC News Decision Desk shared the results on X. Among men who voted for President Donald Trump, 34 percent defined having children as central to their success. That was followed by 33 percent of Trump-voting men who said success meant financial independence, and 30 percent who said success meant a fulfilling career. https://twitter.com/SteveKornacki/status/1965032049808654515 Meanwhile, 29 percent placed being married at the top of their list. For 28 ...

Mortgage fraud case reignites debate over Lisa Cook’s Federal Reserve role

By Randy DeSoto | The Western Journal Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte shared a journalist’s video on Tuesday that he said offers proof that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook engaged in mortgage fraud. President Donald Trump fired Cook, a Biden appointee, last month over allegations of wrongdoing in relation to two mortgages she took out in 2021. In loan applications filled out within weeks of each other, she allegedly listed both a home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a condo in Atlanta, Georgia, as her primary residence. Loans for “primary residences,” as the Reuters news agency noted, “can carry easier terms than those for second homes or investment properties.” Cook has refused to leave her job as governor, and the Federal Res...

Conservative message struggles as Gen Z buys into Democratic narrative

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal A Yale Youth Poll from the spring of 2025 found that voters between the ages of 18 and 21 favored Republican candidates by double digits, which could be a sign that Democrats are finally slipping with America’s younger demographic. The survey revealed that although young people between the ages of 22 and 29 favored the Democratic candidate in their home congressional district for the 2026 election by a margin of about six points, those aged 18 and 21 favored the Republican candidate in their home district by almost 12 points. That’s a massive shift from years past, when younger voters in high school and college were virtually a lock for liberals. Has the left finally gone too far? In a piece outlining the poll ...

Catholic school shooting sparks hate crime probe and national outrage

By Randy DeSoto |The Western Journal Homeland Security Secretary Krisi Noem on Wednesday said the gunman who preyed on Minneapolis Catholic schoolchildren was a self-proclaimed transgender individual, while FBI Director Kash Patel said the incident will be investigated as domestic terrorism. Two children were killed and 17 people — 14 of them children — were wounded in an attack on Annunciation Church in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The shooter, who fired through the church’s windows on Annunciation School children within, later killed himself. “We have confirmation that the shooter at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN was a 23 year-old man, claiming to be transgender,” Noem posted on X. “This deranged monster targeted our most vulnerable: young childr...
