Every year, the United Nations holds its annual climate change conference. It’s called the “Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP). This year, the 29th annual COP was held on Nov. 11 in the city of Baku, which is the capital of Azerbaijan.

Starting in January, what might begin to unfold in this country is unprecedented. After years of record-breaking illegal immigration, the incoming Trump administration is serious about deporting millions—perhaps even tens of millions of people—from the United States. Not from the border region, but rather, from neighborhoods throughout the country. And so, if you think about it: The number of raids, roundups, fights with the police, manhunts, detention centers, government buses, chartered

In some areas, the snowstorm dumped several feet of snow in a matter of a couple of hours. This happened during the height of that year’s holiday travel season. The snowstorm knocked out power for more than 100,000 people, it paralyzed most emergency services, it effectively stopped travel in general, and when all was said and done, it left at least 47 people dead. Some of those people died as a result of heart complications, because they over-exerted themselves shoveling snow. However, a

With Donald Trump now officially being the president-elect, the big question becomes: what will he actually do?

2024/11/13

You probably didn’t know it, but in December 2023, the United States got a lot bigger. Specifically, the United States added about 1 million square kilometers to its territory. That’s approximately 386,000 square miles—roughly the size of two Californias. Now, you would think that something like this would have been front-page news. But it actually went largely unnoticed—probably because the area in question isn’t a physical landmass. Instead, the United States gained a million square

We are just less than three weeks out from the 2024 election. Meaning that in about three and a half weeks—or however long it takes to count the votes—we’re going to know who will lead the country for the next four years. Regardless of who wins, however, there is a massive structural problem in America that is essentially colorblind. It’s not red, it’s not blue—so it doesn’t matter who’s in office. It’s that the design of the system will make it such that inflation will re-accelerate. The

For a while now, there have been two competing trends in the United States. At the federal level, there has been more centralization, the introduction of more levels of bureaucracy, more attempts to chip away at the Second Amendment, and so on. At the same time, however, at the local level, many municipalities have been moving in the opposite direction, declaring themselves to be “constitutional counties” wherein any effort to infringe on the constitutional rights of their citizens will be

One of the odd things about the electoral college system is that it’s possible to produce an actual tie. Perhaps even odder than that, however, is that this year’s election is so tight (at least according to the polling data) that a tie is looking more possible by the day. So let’s go through the details of what a tie in the electoral college system would look like, what would happen afterward, and what Republicans, Democrats, and RFK Jr. are doing to hedge their bets.
