UN Retreats From Extreme Climate Forecast Sparking Policy Debate

By Dmitri Bolt | Townhall The United Nations-backed climate panel over the weekend walked back one of its “worst-case scenario” greenhouse gas emissions scenarios, as a new report found that those projections “have become implausible.” The scenario predicted that humanity would double down on fossil fuels and take no action to mitigate climate change, and used it to make predictions about what the future may hold. Those scenarios included massive sea-level rise, global crop failures, and the rapid melting of polar ice. Democrats used the fearmongering to push Americans to pay billions of dollars to pursue mitigation efforts, while Europe practically castrated its own economy to do the same. And yet the scenario has been walked back, although climate scientists argue that it is due to...

By Joseph Chalfant | Townhall The Department of Homeland Security has announced that an ICE investigation has identified over 10,000 potential cases of student visa fraud through the Optional Practical Training program. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2054251819019415793?s=20 https://twitter.com/SenEricSchmitt/status/2054271000728981777?s=20 https://twitter.com/JohnE_Fabb/status/2054268166243787008?s=20 “Today, we are announcing that we have found over 10,000 who claim to be working for highly suspect employers,” Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said at a press conference. “This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Colorado Democrats Face Backlash Over Reduced Sentences for Violent Crimes

By Amy Curtis | Commentary, Townhall Earlier, we told you that four Colorado Democrats killed a bill that would have barred probation for some child sex crimes, and now it turns out the Democrats just passed legislation that downgraded sentencing for murders under certain circumstances. This means that the possibility of a life sentence for murdering one person is no longer an option. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/2051779051790962919?s=20 Insane. https://twitter.com/tadgh_dc/status/2051982051885105452?s=20 That'll solve the problem. https://twitter.com/AmericanBear76/status/2051858794162872381?s=20 READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT TOWNHALL Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are thos...

Second Amendment Debate Reignites as Colorado Expands Gun Regulations

By Tom Knighton | Townhall Because the Second Amendment protects the right to both keep and bear arms, there's a third thing implied. You can't keep or bear guns if you're unable to acquire them in some manner. In Colorado, where they've been attacking building firearms at home, they're also going after the gun stores with new rules. You see, it's not enough to have mountains of regulations that everyone has to follow. Colorado also wants to make it even more difficult for them to stay open The Colorado Senate on Tuesday gave final approval to a bill adding more regulations to gun stores operating in the state. House Bill 26-1126, titled “Requirements for Firearms Dealers,” was approved on its third reading in a 20 to 15 vote, sending it to Gov. Jar...

Democrats Would Have Sacrificed Swalwell to Target GOP Lawmakers

By Matt Vespa | Commentary, Townhall Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), having nothing left to lose, finally decided to resign from Congress. He didn’t specify when, so stay tuned. However, he’s indicated that he’s leaving. Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX), who was already planning to leave after losing in a primary following an affair with a staffer that led to her suicide. Reps. Cory Mills (R-FL) and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) are also at risk for ethics violations; Cherfilus-McCormick is accused of stealing millions from FEMA. These four were likely the target of the purge, probably the only motion with substantial bipartisan support.  So, what would have happened? Well, given what was brewing before Swalwell decided to call it quits, Democrats were scheming—what else is new—...

DHS Chief Floats Ending International Flights To Sanctuary Cities

By Joseph Chalfant | Townhall Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin unveiled a new proposal on Monday night to eliminate Customs and Border Patrol at international airports in sanctuary cities, effectively ending all international travel from the location. https://twitter.com/BillMelugin_/status/2041280851418165306?s=20 https://twitter.com/Osint613/status/2041294053132657079?s=20 “If they are a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city?” Mullin asked Fox News’ Bret Baier. “Seriously, if they are a sanctuary city and they are receiving international flights, and we’re asking them to partner with us at the airport, but once they walk out of the airport, they’re not going to enforce immigration policy? Maybe we need to h...

Minnesota Elections Official Acknowledges Noncitizens Could Cast Ballots Under Current Process

By Joseph Chalfant | Townhall We have been told for years that there is no need for stricter identification requirements in American elections. The Left has claimed that our elections are secured, and that the Right has simply lied about the issue, or they want to put up restrictions on women or minorities voting by instituting measures to prove citizens and identity before casting a ballot. When put on the record, it seems that those on the Left are finally telling the truth about the matter: illegals are easily able to vote in American elections. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2033166704402944392?s=20 READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT TOWNHALL

Colorado Secretary Of State Jena Griswold Peddles Blatant Lie About Supreme Court Role

By: Matt Vespa | Townhall This Democrat was caught spreading a complete lie, and it wasn’t difficult to expose. This political con job is occurring in Colorado, where Secretary of State Jena Griswold is running in the Democratic primary for the 2026 attorney general race. There’s no need for her to do this, as she’s considered the frontrunner. If you don’t remember, Griswold tried to prevent Donald Trump from running in 2024 over the January 6 incident.   That case went before the Supreme Court, which slapped down this little stunt in a unanimous decision, holding that only Congress, not the states, can determine who is ineligible for federal office. Yet Griswold makes it seem as if she were delivering oral arguments. She did not. And she appears to have little to no cou...
