Ideally, the conferences end with joint commitments, typically to force wealthier countries to spend billions of dollars to offset the alleged “climate crisis.” The next two editions, COP31 and…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. During one of his recent podcasts, conservative historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson compared House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to Dr. Frankenstein, suggesting that just like in the story, they are unable to control the monster that they created. This is actually a perfect metaphor. It actually applies to all of the leading voices in the Democrat Party, not just Jeffries and Schumer.
