Tough noogies, asthmatics! CNN has officially pinned your breathing tool as the latest climate change threat to the environment.  Jen Christensen of the CNN Health & Climate Unit railed against respiratory-challenged individuals’s survival tool in an October 6 story headlined: “Climate pollution from inhalers has the impact of half a million cars per year, study finds.” Apparently being full of hot air is no longer just an idiom for the lefty media. Christensen’s story was utterly ridiculous from the start: “The people who are most vulnerable to the hard-to-breathe air that comes with climate change may inadvertently be adding to the problem, new research finds.” Darn those respiratory-challenged people trying to stay alive, eh Jen? For context, Christensen noted that “[t]o treat conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, millions of Americans use what doctors often call metered dose” inhalers. The problem, claimed Christensen, was how inhalers use “propellants called hydrofluoroalkanes, or HFAs,” which the wacky study she cited asserted was devastating the environment.   Christensen descended further down the rabbit hole, suggesting that lung cancer patients who literally can’t live without the metered-dose inhalers switch to alternative sources: “The other study published Monday shows that concerted efforts to reduce traditional inhaler use can make a difference.” In essence, she literally co-opted the same talking points climate lefties use to badger consumers about using renewables and EVs instead of fossil fuels and shoe-horned them into her beef with inhalers: Metered-dose inhalers were responsible for 98% of the climate pollution from inhalers, the study found. People with lung conditions can’t live without them, but the researchers noted some might be able to switch to an alternative inhaler that emits fewer problematic propellants. But — here’s a surprise — alternative breathing tools are more expensive! Christensen admitted in a buried paragraph that “[t]here can also be a price barrier with dry-powder inhalers, since many of the versions that use HFAs are generic and less expensive. And insurance doesn’t often cover the dry-powder kind.” JunkScience.com founder Steve Milloy mocked CNN for being completely tone-deaf with its climate fanaticism in comments to MRC Business: The ozone hole was a hoax. Global warming is a hoax. And because of these two hoaxes, greens don’t want asthmatics using inhalers to survive because the propellants may possibly contribute in unmeasurable amounts to the two easily debunked global atmospheric hysterias of our time. "As an asthmatic who has relied on inhalers," said Milloy, "it is wild that medical researchers would deny people irreplaceable life-saving medication because of nonsense spewed by Al Gore." It's also wild that the media would treat this kind of faux-scholarship as being worthy of any serious consideration. Did Christensen bother to mention any of the conflicts of interests of the researchers that were disclosed in the, er, “study” she cited? Of course not! If she did, it would throw a wrench in her appeal-to-authority-argument.  One researcher “reported receipt of personal fees from Alosa Health and for serving as an expert witness in litigation against inhaler manufacturers.” Another disclosed “previous employment by GSK prior to initiation of this project.” GSK is a biopharma company that has a particular obsession with leftist climate pipe dreams. “We are committed to net zero impact on climate across our entire value chain,” the company’s website states. Doesn’t sound like the researchers are the most objective people in the world, eh Jen?   It’s not even until you get to the 20th paragraph of Christensen’s propaganda that readers would know that “inhalers are a relatively small cause of climate change compared to the bigger culprits like traffic, agriculture, and power generation.” But even that pathetic caveat glosses over how tiny the supposed green effects of inhalers are by the study’s own admission, which Christensen left out: “[I]nhalers are responsible for less than 0.5% of the more than 500 million mtCO2e of annual health care–related greenhouse gas emissions in the US.”  First it was the cow farts. Now it’s the things asthmatics and others use to stay alive. What’s next? 

Big Tech is feeding Americans a partisan and hypocritical narrative about the current government shutdown. In fact, three AI chatbots took Sen. Chuck Schumer’s side in blaming Republicans for the ongoing shutdown. Citing heinously biased sources to justify their contradictory and partisan opinions, three of the world’s most used artificial intelligence chatbots went so far as to blame Republicans for both the 2013 and 2025 government shutdowns. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Meta AI, and xAI Grok, all spun the issue with the help of leftist media sources such as Wikipedia and the recently defunded National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) to blame Republicans for not funding the federal government.   [The story continues on MRCFreeSpeechAmerica.org]

Even as the Trump administration works to broker a peace deal between Israel and Gaza, Google once again revealed its utter disdain for America’s ally.   On the second anniversary of the horrific Oct. 7 attacks that sparked Israel’s war in Gaza, the Google News home page promoted just two articles on the war and the ongoing peace negotiations currently in progress. However, Google promoted two of the worst news outlets looking back on the last two years: The Guardian and The Associated Press.  The Guardian in particular went out of its way to disparage Israel before eventually admitting that the Middle Eastern country was, in fact, the victim of the Oct. 7 terrorism attack. Google’s promotion of such disgusting rhetoric led Dan Schneider, MRC Free Speech America’s vice president, to call the company “Israel’s second worst enemy.”  In an X post thread, Schneider commented on the Guardian article headlined, “The ruin of Gaza: how Israel’s two-year assault has devastated the territory,” calling the outlet a “sick, twisted antisemitic mouthpiece for Jew hatred.”  Schneider added, “Not until paragraph 6 does it even suggest that Hamas terrorists started the war in Gaza. But readers must first wade through slanderous framing.” Indeed, as Schneider noted, The Guardian referred to "Israel's two-year assault" and noted that the "Majority [of those killed] have been civilians" despite the fact that this is always true in war for both sides.  The outlet even seemed to gloss over the significance of Oct. 7, 2023, writing: “The war, triggered by a Hamas raid into Israel on 7 October 2023, which killed approximately 1,200 people and took a further 251 as hostages, has devastated Gaza, in physical and human terms.” The AP, to its credit, acknowledged how devastating Hamas’s attack was and still is for Israel. And although it mentioned criticism of the country’s defense policies, it included both sides of the argument.  However, this does not negate accusations that an AP photojournalist — whose footage and photographs the outlet used — appears to have been embedded with Hamas. In a 2023 X post, Honest Reporting alleged: “In the hours following our expose, new material is still coming to light concerning Gazan freelance journalist Hassan Eslaiah whom both AP & CNN used on Oct. 7. Here he is pictured with Hamas leader and mastermind of the Oct. 7 massacre, Yahya Sinwar.” At the time, Honest Reporting additionally showed footage of Eslaiah “after he crossed into Israel and took photos of a burning Israeli tank. He then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza. Note that he is not identifiable as a member of the press. But AP & CNN deemed it acceptable to use his services." This is also not the first time Google has displayed an anti-Israel sentiment. In June, Gemini, Google’s AI chatbot, would not definitively say that Israel can choose its own capital city. When asked, “If Israel says Jerusalem is its capital, does that make it so?” the AI chatbot argued that Jerusalem as the capital city is “largely not recognized by the international community due to the disputed status of the city and its significance to both Israelis and Palestinians.” Similarly, in October 2023, when Shneider asked, “Is Hamas a terrorist organization?” the chatbot refused to answer. “I’m just a language model, so I can’t help you with that,” Google’s AI said.  That same month, Google Maps also displayed over 50 bomb shelters near the border with Gaza shortly after the Hamas attack that targeted bomb shelters. A civilian living in Israel, Ilana Sondak, told MRC at the time, “Everyone living in Israel knows where his bomb shelters are located.” When asked if it is helpful for travelers to use Google Maps to identify shelter sites, Sondak added, “You just have to go into the stairwell of the nearest house. You certainly wouldn’t stand in the street and look up Google.” Free speech is under attack.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel found a strange, new respect for Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a woman he has frequently dubbed “Klan Mom,” on his Tuesday show as he claimed a recent tweet from Greene proved his point that Republicans are lying about health care amid the government shutdown. Kimmel claimed, “The reason the Democrats refuse to sign this budget agreement is because it will cause millions of Americans to lose their health care. Republicans deny this.”     However, Kimmel used Greene to say Republicans are liars: They say it won't hurt anyone at all, and if you had any doubt that they were lying before, consider this shocking post from the gentlewoman from Georgia who wrote, ‘I'm not a fan of Obamacare, but I'm going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year, my own adult children's insurance premiums for 2026 are going to double along with all the wonderful families and hardworking people in my district. No, I'm not toeing the party line on this or playing loyalty games,’ and I know this sounds crazy, but I will say it for the second time in a month, Marjorie Taylor Greene is right. I know. Guillermo, I need something to wash out my mouth. She’s right. What Greene omitted and Kimmel continues to omit is that the Obamacare subsidies being discussed removed the cap that limited recipients to those making 400 percent of the federal poverty level for what was supposed to be a temporary COVID relief measure. That means that even if the subsidies were to expire, a family of two making $84,600 could still be eligible. Meanwhile, while Kimmel is trying to say he is right because even Greene agrees with him, Greene is also the same congresswoman who made dire predictions that turned out to be false about what would happen if the U.S. involved itself in the Israel-Iran War back in June. Here is a transcript for the October 7 show: ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live! 10/7/2025 11:40 PM ET JIMMY KIMMEL: The reason the Democrats refuse to sign this budget agreement is because it will cause millions of Americans to lose their health care. Republicans deny this. They say it won't hurt anyone at all, and if you had any doubt that they were lying before, consider this shocking post from the gentlewoman from Georgia who wrote, “I'm not a fan of Obamacare, but I'm going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year, my own adult children's insurance premiums for 2026 are going to double along with all the wonderful families and hardworking people in my district. No, I'm not toeing the party line on this or playing loyalty games,” and I know this sounds crazy, but I will say it for the second time in a month, Marjorie Taylor Greene is right. I know. Guillermo, I need something to wash out my mouth.

The bill, sponsored by assembly members Ash Kalra and Darshana Patel, will take effect on January 1, 2026. 'This day is marked as the 15th day of the month of Kartik in the Hindu lunar calendar of each year.'The law amends relevant sections of the code of civil procedure, the education code, and the government code. The new law designates Diwali as an official state holiday. In the text, this day is marked as "the 15th day of the month of Kartik in the Hindu lunar calendar of each year."RELATED: Church joins persecution of Texas business owner who criticized H-1B visas Preparations for the Diwali festivalPhoto by Parveen Kumar/Hindustan Times via Getty ImagesDiwali often falls in October or November of the Gregorian calendar accepted universally in the West.According to Britannica, Diwali is a festival celebrated in Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and sometimes Buddhism. The name derives from the Sanskrit term "dipavali," meaning "row of lights," and celebrates the victory of light over darkness. According to a Pew Research study published in May 2025, "960,000 out of the nation’s Indian population of 4.9 million, or 20%, live in California."Other states with large Indian populations include Texas, New Jersey, New York, and Illinois. California is the third state to make Diwali an official state holiday, following Pennsylvania and Connecticut, according to the AP. Like Blaze News?
