ACTUALLY, THESE BILLIONARES ARE WORSE THAN SCROOGE: The Scrooges of 2025. The original Scrooge was a miser, but he did plenty of good for the poor without harming them — unlike the Scrooges in my City Journal article: George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, and Tom Steyer.

THREE REASONS 2026 COULD BE HUGE TRUMP WIN: No President since FDR has approached the New Dealer’s massive 1934 mid-term congressional election triumph. But, as I explain in my latest PJMedia column (and first in several months, by the way), there are three solid reasons to expect Trump to have a similar win next November.

But why would anyone in New York City care, since it’s been flooded for 10 years?
Fourteen years ago, on June 12, 2008, ABC’s Earth 2100 offered a special on the then-far off year of 2015. Correspondent Bob Woodruff revealed that the program “puts participants in the future and asks them to report back about what it is like to live in this future world. The first stop is the year 2015.”
The special featured one of ABC’s experts warning that in 2015 the sea level would rise quickly. An on-screen graphic showed New York City being engulfed by water. (Spoiler alert: That didn’t happen.)

From the brief explanation given by the Panama government in this story, it appears that Panama deleted the tanker from its registry after it loaded in Venezuela…

MORNING IN AMERICA? Boom! US Economy Grows By Big 4.3% In Third Quarter.
So, the 4.3% growth is very high and not too far away from “It’s Morning in America again.”
And it’s not even a one-quarter wonder — the last quarter showed strong 3.8% growth. It looks like it’s real and building.
Is the economic turn we desperately need for 2026 and 2028, too, finally here?
Let’s hope. It looks good at the moment.

FASTER? PLEASE! Isaacman emphasizes accelerating NASA programs as he takes agency’s reins.
“We cannot achieve our objectives the way they’ve been done in recent years,” he said, citing the “absolutely impressive speeds” of China’s space activities. “We must do all we can to minimize the bureaucratic drag that can slow us down.”
That effort includes companies and international partners working with NASA, particularly on plans to return humans to the moon. “We will prepare for the inevitable return by working with our commercial and international partners to ensure they’re aligned with our programmatic objectives and acting with the urgency needed” to deliver Artemis elements, he said.
Isaacman highlighted an executive order signed by President Trump on Dec. 18 titled “Ensuring American Space Superiority,” which includes provisions calling for a human return to the lunar surface by 2028 and the establishment of initial elements of a permanent lunar outpost by 2030.
“In my view, it is one of the most significant commitments to America’s space program by any administration since the Kennedy era,” Isaacman said. He attended the signing ceremony in the Oval Office shortly after being sworn in.
The agency needs a good shakeup, and an entrepreneur/astronaut has the skills, experience, and cred to get it done.
FROM THE “FARTING COWS AND PLANES” FILES: “Ecologists understand the implications. Then environmental organizations continue campaigning to remove cattle from rangelands because they’re ‘destroying’ the environment. The Serengeti proved that 1.5 million large grazers make the land healthier, not worse. But admitting this would require acknowledging that maybe cattle aren’t the problem.”
1890s: Rinderpest virus arrives in East Africa via imported cattle. It spreads through wild ruminant populations catastrophically.
The Serengeti's wildebeest population collapses from over 1 million to around 200,000. Buffalo, other ungulates also devastated.
