Gov. Rick Scott’s anti-science purge begins: State employee banned for uttering ‘climate change’ A Florida state employee has been reprimanded and told not to come to work after Gov. Rick Scott’s (R) administration banned the use of the terms “climate change” and “global warming.” Earlier this month, reports said that officials in the Scott administration ordered Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) administrators not to use the terms in documents or meetings because they asserted that the climate science behind global warming was not a “true fact.” More

In recent months we have heard much about President Biden’s low poll numbers and Americans’ negative views of the economy. It is therefore not surprising that numerous media pundits have rushed to entertain the idea of a Trump victory in 2024.

"He's going all over the place," Eric said of his father, who has been golfing on his days off where, hopefully, he's not farting on his Mar-a-Lago guests.

When Michael Cohen takes the stand in Donald Trump’s criminal trial, as he’s expected to, it will mark a climax in the real-life tale of ambition and betrayal that has unfolded between the two men over nearly two decades.
In the New York City courtroom, Cohen will be a few yards away from the man he once looked up to as a paragon of raw power and heady glamor.
