Weather anecdotes, modeling projections, and policy cost provide no proof of climate-driven inflation. Inflation is fundamentally a monetary and policy phenomenon. Blaming it on the weather may make compelling click-bait copy, but it does not withstand economic scrutiny.

It never occurs to the far-left (formerly mainstream) media that its demise might be attributable to more than economic factors or the rise of the internet. Just as important is the clear bias and agenda- driven politics that resulted in a loss of trust by millions of Americans who are not part of the far-left bubble that the media increasingly served.

When the war with Iran officially began on Saturday, I annoyed quite a few people by replying to James Delingpole on twtter with this comment: I stand by it. In fact I can amplify it.

Ofcom’s attempt to extend this regime to American soil raises the stakes further. It asserts, in effect, that British regulators may determine what Americans are permitted to say on the American internet and that American law has no recourse.
