Kate Middleton released a statement after she missed a pre-Trooping the Colour event amid her cancer treatment. The Iris Guards posted several photos following a rehearsal event on June 8. Two pictures showed a note written by the princess on official Kensington Palace letterhead. “I wanted to write and let you know how proud I am of the entire regiment ahead of the Colonel’s Review and Trooping of the Colour,” she began. “I appreciate everyone trooping this year has been practicing for months, and dedicating many hours to ensuring their uniforms and drill are immaculate.” The Irish Guards were deeply touched to receive a letter from our Colonel, Her Royal Highness, The Princess of Wales this morning.We continue to wish Her Royal Highness well in her recovery and send Her our very best wishes.Quis Separabit@KensingtonRoyal @ArmyInLondon pic.twitter.com/y95rbmaeOS— Irish Guards (@irish_guards) June 8, 2024 “Being your colonel remains a great honor, and I am very sorry that I’m unable to take the salute at this year’s Colonel’s Review,” Kate continued. “Please pass my apologies to the whole Regiment. However, I do hope that I am able to represent you all once again very soon. Please send my very best wishes and good luck to all involved.” Kate Middleton signed off as “Colonel Catherine” by writing “Quis Separabit,” which means “who will separate us.” In the caption, the Irish Guards wished Kate “well in her recovery.” Prince William Says Kate Middleton Is “Doing Well” The princess is the honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards, who will be presenting their flag at the Trooping of the Colour parade next week. Each year, only one of the five regiments has that honor. Kate Middleton would stand for the salute at the Colonel’s Review if she were well enough to attend the celebration. Former Commander of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, Lieutenant General James Bucknall, will be taking her place. Kate Middleton, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, has been taking a leave from her public duties while she undergoes chemotherapy. Prince William, her husband, shared that Kate has been “doing well.” But sources say doctors have not given her the go-ahead to return to the spotlight.

From fuel emissions standards to gas-powered vehicle bans to far-reaching climate disclosure rules, states like California are constantly testing how far state laws can go in shaping national climate policy.

Joe Biden Proved he is Not Ronald Reagan at Pointe du Hoc

The list of everyday necessities the climate fanatics at The Washington Post choose to complain about as enemies of Gaia continues to grow at an exponential rate. The Post threw a fit over the upcoming Olympic Games “taking a farcical turn” against Paris organizers’ supposed commitment to maintaining the “greenest Olympics” ever. The Athletes Village was supposed to not have air conditioning (AC) in the rooms because other eco-friendly cooling measures will be used, whined the leftist rag. However, The Post cried, “portable air-conditioning units will be everywhere. Wheeled in. Shipped in. Ordered by visiting countries that want their athletes to sleep well and perform at the highest level — even if it means a larger carbon footprint.” How dare athletes seek to maximize comfort between rounds of the brutal physical exertion that defined the Olympic Games since time immemorial, right Washington Post?  The newspaper went on a rant against the climate offending countries who had the gall to take care of their athletes: Worried about what potentially could be the world’s hottest year on record, wealthier nations have effectively undercut Paris’s marquee sustainability measure, signaling that, yes, they care about environmental aims — but not if it risks the comfort of their athletes. Some of those athletes are accustomed to temperatures cooler than what the dorms might have provided and raised concerns to their national Olympic committees. The newspaper cited pro-AC Australian Olympic committee Chief of Public Affairs Strath Gordon, who noted that the Games was “‘a high-performance environment.’” But that wasn’t enough of a “DUH” moment for The Post, which accused visiting countries of undermining a “highly symbolic” Mother Earth effort on behalf of Paris: The bid to forgo air-conditioning was just a tiny part of the overall Paris plan to reduce the footprint of a massive event. But it is highly symbolic, as it has forced participating countries to consider whether they want to participate in a sustainability experiment — abandoning conventional, energy-intensive privileges in the name of green goals. Talk about blowing a bunch of hot air. It's a wonder if The Post has air conditioning in its luxurious K Street headquarters in Washington, D.C. Conservatives are under attack.

For Saturday’s Good Morning America, ABC White House correspondent Mary Bruce went into full hype mode as she tried to tie President Joe Biden’s Pointe du Hoc speech with Ronald Reagan’s 40 years prior. She also gleefully noted “the contrasts” between Biden and Donald Trump while playing up the former apologizing for the GOP in France during his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Speaking over side-by-side images of Biden and Reagan, Bruce hyped “Biden speaking at the same site where 40 years ago President Reagan delivered one of his most iconic speeches.”     After a clip of Reagan, Bruce added, “While Biden didn't mention Donald Trump by name, the contrasts were clear. The president pitting his view of America's role as a global leader against Trump's isolationist America First stance.” Bruce then played a clip of Biden’s speech where he asked, “Does anyone doubt that they would want America to stand up against Putin's aggression here in Europe today?” Moving onto Biden’s meeting with Zelensky, Bruce recalled, “Earlier Biden meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky apologizing for the delay in approving new military aid and blaming Republicans.” That was followed by another clip of Biden telling Zelensky that “Some of our very conservative members who were holding it up, but we got it done.” For the media, the war in Ukraine is simple: Democrats: good, Republicans: bad. For the Ukrainians themselves, it is more nuanced. Ukraine recently watched Russia build up its forces a mere kilometer or two across the border for a Kharkiv offensive, but couldn’t do anything about it until Russian forces actually crossed the border due to Team Biden’s insane rules of engagement policy. They begged Biden to change his policy, which he didn’t do until it was too late, and even still, the rules against hitting targets deep in Russia remain. Meanwhile, Republican leadership favors lifting such restrictions. Not only did Biden put Zelensky in the awkward position of having to be on camera while his biggest aid provider delivered a partisan speech, ABC couldn’t be bothered to point out that Biden has some apologizing of his own to do. Maybe Biden isn’t Reagan-esque after all. Here is a transcript for the June 8 show: ABC Good Morning America 6/8/2024 7:06 AM ET MARY BRUCE: Biden speaking at the same site where 40 years ago President Reagan delivered one of his most iconic speeches. RONALD REAGAN: These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the heroes who helped end a war. BRUCE: And while Biden didn't mention Donald Trump by name, the contrasts were clear. The president pitting his view of America's role as a global leader against Trump's isolationist America First stance. JOE BIDEN: Does anyone doubt that they would want America to stand up against Putin's aggression here in Europe today? BRUCE: Earlier Biden meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky apologizing for the delay in approving new military aid and blaming Republicans. BIDEN: Some of our very conservative members who were holding it up, but we got it done.

Three Jewish students have filed civil rights lawsuits against the University of California Board of Regents and officials at the university, according to Fox News Digital. The students claim that they were prevented from walking to class by "antisemitic activists."The two law students and one undergraduate student allege that the university allowed a group of students and unaffiliated demonstrators to set up an encampment on the campus. Consequently, Jewish students were barred from accessing the heart of the university property, per the report.'If masked agitators had excluded any other marginalized group at UCLA, Governor Newsom rightly would have sent in the National Guard immediately.'Anti-Israel activists demonstrated throughout May and April in protest of Israel's response to Hamas' attacks against the Jewish state on October 7. On that day, Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israelis and abducted hundreds more.The Los Angeles Times reported that lawyers for the Jewish students said pro-Palestinian activists implemented checkpoints at their encampment on Royce Quad. They allege that those in charge of the encampment only allowed anti-Israel demonstrators to enter. “With the knowledge and acquiescence of UCLA officials, the activists enforced what was effectively a ‘Jew Exclusion Zone,’ segregating Jewish students and preventing them from accessing the heart of campus, including classroom buildings and the main undergraduate library,” the lawsuit said. “In many cases, the activists set up barriers and locked arms together, preventing those who refused to disavow Israel from passing through.”UCLA is not the only university in the country facing lawsuits. Others include Rutgers University and Columbia University, per reports. Columbia recently settled a lawsuit with a Jewish student who claimed the university fostered an "unsafe educational environment."The complaint also noted that UCLA knew about the encampment for a week without taking action. It went on to say that the university urged security staff to discourage non-students from entering the encampment instead of dismantling the encampment entirely."If masked agitators had excluded any other marginalized group at UCLA, Governor Newsom rightly would have sent in the National Guard immediately," Mark Rienzi, president and CEO of Becket, said. "But UCLA instead caved to the antisemitic activists and allowed its Jewish students to be segregated from the heart of their own campus. That is a profound and illegal failure of leadership.""This is America in 2024—not Germany in 1939. It is disgusting that an elite American university would let itself devolve into a hotbed of antisemitism," Rienzi added. "UCLA's administration should have to answer for allowing the Jew Exclusion Zone and promise that Jews will never again be segregated on campus."Like Blaze News?
