Through the European Green Deal‚ European bureaucrats are ignoring citizen opposition in deindustrializing Western Europe and reducing its agricultural production. They’re using climate laws to attempt to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The agricultural policy provisions of these laws—the euphemistically named Farm to Fork Strategy—have European farmers uniting in protest like never before.   These laws are driving up food prices and reducing agricultural jobs while having practically no effect on the planet’s temperature. Using calculations from government models‚ even if the European Union had no emissions at all‚ it would only make a difference of 0.13 degrees Celsius by the year 2100. The European Union strategy would devastate farmers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture finds that the EU strategy’s goals of reducing farmland by 10%‚ fertilizer by 20%‚ and pesticides and antimicrobials by 50% would reduce total EU agricultural production by at least 12% and force reliance on agricultural imports from counties with lax environmental standards. The global effects of such a strategy would be catastrophic. Germany‚ which has a carbon emission reduction target of 65% from 1990 levels‚ is the world’s third-largest agricultural exporter‚ the largest EU milk exporter‚ and the second-largest EU wheat exporter. According to 2020 calculations by the USDA‚ implementing the strategy solely within the EU would cause a global economic loss of $80 billion‚ with 22 million people becoming food insecure worldwide. If their policies were copied worldwide‚ there would be global economic loss of $200 billion‚ and 185 million people would become food insecure worldwide. Germans have already felt the consequences of these policies as the price indexes for meat‚ bread‚ and automotive fuel have increased by 34%‚ 28%‚ and 29%‚ respectively‚ since January 2020. Furthermore‚ the cost of motor fuels may increase further if fuel subsidies are ended. In response‚ German farmers‚ such as Anthony Lee‚ have blocked roads to protest the mounting price increases and to stand in solidarity with similar protests across the EU. Led by the Farmers Defense Force‚ Dutch agricultural protests started in response to the Dutch National Energy and Climate Plan‚ which proposes drastic reductions in farming. As the world’s second-largest agriculture exporter‚ the Netherlands farming industry is facing severe curtailment while bureaucrats debate whether a farmer can have two or three cows per hectare because of bovine methane emissions. The Dutch government plans to forcibly buy out 3‚000 farms to achieve the mandated 30% reduction in livestock. Having the highest density of livestock in the world with more than 50% of the land devoted to agriculture‚ the Netherlands and its farmers would suffer significant economic losses from these policies. In response‚ the Farmers Defense Force has blockaded highways since 2019 in opposition to Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s compliance with the EU’s greener energy policies. Despite blocking roads and airports‚ leading to more than 700 traffic fines and 100 farmers being arrested‚ the Farmers Defense Force has seen increasing political support. Following the emergence of the Farmers Citizen Movement within the Dutch Senate‚ the 2023 elections saw the movement secure 15 of the 75 seats available‚ which is the largest share of seats in the legislative body. Across France‚ the Young Farmers‚ the National Federation of Farmers Unions‚ and the Confederation Paysanne have spearheaded protests against EU agricultural policies‚ including the Farm to Fork Strategy. French farmers are particularly troubled by the EU’s pending trade agreement with the South American trade union Mercosur.   Currently‚ Latin American countries are limited in their exports to the EU. Under the proposed trade agreement‚ the EU‚ including France‚ would receive agricultural imports from Latin America free of tariffs‚ undercutting European farmers. French farmers fear that such a trade agreement would create double standards where domestic products must meet strict environmental regulations while cheap imports do not.   Similar to German and Durch protests‚ French protests have disrupted traffic by strategically disposing of agricultural waste onto roads. With the rollback of a recent pesticide ban‚ many French farmers are celebrating their recent achievement of finally being heard. The European Green Deal and its Farm to Fork Strategy are making food more costly and attack the very foundation of European agriculture. Stringent mandates from Brussels override the autonomy of member states and the expertise of the European farming community. These burdensome policies and the climate alarmism that underlies them have given rise to political movements fighting against the EU’s supranational authority. As one Flemish farmer said while demonstrating outside the EU Parliament in Brussels‚ “I’m a victim of the [EU’s] regulation soup and the tyranny coming from the [EU’s] ivory towers.” Have an opinion about this article?

“We can bear neither our diseases nor their remedies.” So shrugged the ancient historian Livy (59 B.C.-17 A.D.) of the long decline of Roman national character that‚ in his age‚ finally ended the Roman Republic. Like a patient whose medicine proves worse than the disease‚ Livy lamented that the Romans knew that they had become corrupt and lawless. But the very contemplation of the hard medicine needed for restoration—and the furious reaction that would meet the remedy—made it impossible to save the patient. America is nearing such an impasse. We know that no state can long exist after opening its borders to over 7 million illegal aliens‚ requiring neither background checks nor legality. The recent murder of a Georgia female jogger by an illegal alien and the savage beating of New York policemen by similar others hardly merit media attention. Everyone knows that neither new appropriations nor new laws are needed to secure the border as it was in 2020. Instead‚ we could just stop suicidal catch-and-release‚ deport lawbreakers‚ privilege the legal over the illegal immigrant‚ demand would-be refugees apply for asylum first in their native countries‚ finish the border wall‚ and pressure Mexico to stop undermining the territorial integrity of its northern neighbor. But then we shrug‚ “We can’t do that”—paralyzed in fear of being smeared as “xenophobic‚” “nativist‚” or “racist.” So this generation apparently feels that it can endure the collateral damage of daily assaults on American citizens‚ the near bankruptcy of our cities‚ and 100‚000 fentanyl deaths per year—but certainly not the idea that it is somehow not politically correct or compassionate. The same is true of the $35 trillion debt‚ now costing more than $1 trillion a year in interest payments—and growing. We all know it is unsustainable. Americans understand it will eventually lead either to destructive hyperinflation‚ suicidal renunciation of federal debt‚ or confiscation of private savings. Yet we ignore the reckless spending and keep borrowing well over $1 trillion a year. Apparently‚ our generation prefers being praised as “virtuous” and “caring.” So it leaves the next generation to be smeared as “cruel” and “unfair” when it is forced to cut federal entitlements and bloated government or face civilizational collapse. The crime epidemic is also similar. Everyone accepts that no society can long endure quasi-legalized shoplifting or green-lighting smash-and-grabbers and carjackers to be released without bail. But we assume that such a civilizational implosion will never reach our own sanctuary neighborhoods or safe places of work—at least not yet. We also know that restoring deterrence by arresting‚ convicting‚ and jailing repeat felons will return safety to our streets. But again‚ we fear even more that advocating “law and order” will earn slanders like “racist” or “reactionary.” Ditto the homeless. In an age of self-congratulation and hyper-environmentalism‚ we know that a million homeless defecating‚ urinating‚ injecting‚ and assaulting on our downtown sidewalks and storefronts is medieval. We know that it is illegal to camp out on the street and publicly harass citizens or relieve oneself in public. And we know the cure lies in building and staffing more mental institutions and providing areas far from public spaces where the homeless can find shelter‚ sanitation‚ and medical care. But the very idea of removing anyone from his accustomed sidewalk spot‚ or the notion of the use of force to transport the mentally ill to proper and humane facilities‚ terrifies us. So we walk around‚ step over‚ and ignore those on the street. Is the assumption that the odds of being assaulted or sickened acceptable? Or do we just not wish to learn where the flotsam‚ jetsam‚ and human offal of the street end up? Most accept that had former President Donald Trump just not run for president in 2024 or was a man of the Left‚ he would not now be facing four different felony court cases. Most accept that three of the four prosecutors have either in advance promised to get Trump or have proved grossly unethical. Most know it is wrong to try to remove a leading presidential candidate from state ballots. Yet many shrug that this new weaponization of America’s legal system is the flamboyant Trump’s own problem‚ not their own. So they ignore the third worldization of our political system‚ which they quietly acknowledge is otherwise leading us to a Venezuela-like mess. The paralysis of American society extends to our foreign policy as well. We deplore the terrorism of Iran and its thuggish surrogates. But we fear more the nasty‚ costly business of stopping its aggression. Societies do not always collapse from a lack of wealth‚ invasion‚ or natural catastrophes. Most often‚ they know what is destroying them. But they are so paralyzed by their fear that the road to salvation becomes too painful to even contemplate. So they implode gradually‚ then suddenly.

Hunter Biden suggested that he never would have dropped off his laptop at a small Delaware computer repair business‚ but documents bearing his signature appear to contradict that claim. The president’s son insisted that he would have taken his broken computer to a standard Apple store for repair work‚ when asked by Rep. Matt Gaetz‚ R-Fla.‚ during the younger Biden’s Wednesday interview with legislators on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. However‚ a receipt for work done by The Mac Shop—the small repair store in Delaware that turned over the laptop’s contents to the FBI in 2019—bears a signature that resembles Hunter Biden’s signature on other unearthed documents. HunterDocDownload The Mac Store charged Hunter Biden $85 for the repair work on his laptop‚ according to a copy of the receipt first obtained and reported by The New York Post. The signature on that document looks very similar to the DocuSign signature Hunter Biden affixed to a business agreement pertaining to Oneida Holdings LLC‚ an entity established in 2017 to facilitate transactions involving Hunter Biden‚ American partners and Chinese interests. Wayne A. Barnes‚ a retired former FBI counterintelligence agent with extensive experience analyzing signatures‚ previously told Just The News that the signature affixed to the laptop repair receipt matches the signature affixed to other documents signed by Hunter Biden. “Did you ever drop off a laptop at a repair shop?” Gaetz asked the first son‚ according to the transcript of the Wednesday interview that lawmakers released Thursday. “I dropped a laptop off at the Apple repair shop that was literally three blocks from my office in Washington‚ D.C. If I was ever going to repair one‚ I would have walked up the street and dropped it there‚” Hunter Biden replied‚ clarifying that he was talking about “the Apple store in Georgetown.” “My question is about Delaware. Did you ever drop off a laptop in Delaware?” Gaetz then asked. “The largest Apple store in America is the highest grossing and largest Apple store in America is at the Christiana Mall. If I was going to drop off a laptop—I don’t ever remember doing that‚ but if I was going to drop off a laptop‚ I would have gone to the Apple store‚ which was seven minutes from my parents’ home there‚” the first son replied. Hunter Biden then stated that he has no recollection of leaving his computer at a repair shop in Delaware‚ before going on to assert that the laptop’s archived contents included some fabricated material‚ including an allegedly fake conversation between him and a Secret Service agent in a Los Angeles hotel. “There are many different things in there that are either—that are either fabricated‚ hacked‚ stolen or manipulated 100%‚” Hunter Biden told the lawmakers regarding his laptop. The Department of Justice has acknowledged the legitimacy of the laptop’s data and alleged in court filings that Hunter Biden did leave his laptop at The Mac Store‚ while Internal Revenue Service whistleblower Gary Shapley testified last May that the FBI knew the data to be authentic as early as November 2019. The FBI subsequently advised social media platforms that the laptop data could be a foreign influence operation‚ prompting social media companies to effectively censor The New York Post’s initial 2020 story on their platforms. Fifty-one former U.S. intelligence officials also signed an open letter characterizing the laptop and its contents as inauthentic and a potential Russian intelligence ploy. In the “NPR Public Editor” newsletter written by Poynter’s Kelly McBride‚ a senior NPR editor explained that the outlet was declining to cover the laptop story ahead of the 2020 election because it “[did not] want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories‚ and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.” During his deposition‚ Hunter Biden also told lawmakers that Burisma‚ a Ukrainian natural gas company‚ paid him handsomely in order to make the company more “Western-looking” and that he could not recall information about his business dealings on at least 29 occasions. The White House did not respond immediately to a request for comment. Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation Have an opinion about this article?

Dozens of leaders of conservative organizations planned to send a letter Friday to members of Congress demanding that the lawmakers adopt protections for religious Americans who support the traditional idea of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The signees urged House Republicans to protect religious freedom by prioritizing passage of the so-called Roy Marriage Amendment‚ named after Rep. Chip Roy‚ R-Texas‚ according to a copy of the letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Advancing American Freedom‚ a conservative policy organization founded by former Vice President Mike Pence‚ spearheaded the letter. It also includes signatures‚ among others‚ of Tony Perkins‚ president of the Family Research Council; Joe Waresak‚ president of the James Dobson Family Institute; and Tom McClusky‚ director of government affairs for Catholic Vote. If adopted‚ the Roy amendment would prohibit the government from engaging in “any discriminatory action against a person‚ wholly or partially on the basis that such person speaks‚ or acts‚ in accordance with a sincerely held religious belief‚ or moral conviction” regarding marriage between a man and a woman‚ according to the text. The amendment also would prevent the federal government from eliminating a religious group’s tax exemption status for their beliefs on marriage. Roy submitted the amendment to the House in 2022 in an attempt to include it with the Respect for Marriage Act‚ which requires all 50 states to recognize same-sex marriages from other states and was passed in December of that same year. The House has been attempting to avoid a partial government shutdown after failing to pass a new budget for fiscal year 2024 in September. Members voted Thursday to extend the deadline to March 8‚ prompting Advancing American Freedom to encourage lawmakers to push the Roy amendment through before a potential shutdown. “This provision is needed now more than ever‚ for no one should ever fear government punishment for holding to traditional marriage as the unique blessing that it is for all. We strongly encourage you to once again include the Roy ‘Marriage Amendment’ in upcoming appropriations bills‚” the conservative leaders’ letter concludes.

A rabbi whose organization represents more than 2‚500 traditional‚ Orthodox Jewish rabbis in U.S. public policy condemned Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt for comparing the annual Conservative Political Action Conference to controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. The ADL responded to the rabbi’s statement by emphasizing what it characterized as evidence of extremism at CPAC‚ rather than addressing his specific claims. “Last week I attended my sixth CPAC representing CJV‚ and felt even more welcome than previously‚” Rabbi Yaakov Menken‚ managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values‚ said Thursday in a written statement. Menken condemned what he called Greenblatt’s “attempts to characterize the conference based upon intruders who got past security instead of its events and speakers. That is gratuitous slander.” CPAC‚ organized by the American Conservative Union‚ bills itself the largest annual gathering of conservative activists. The conference‚ first held 50 years ago‚ convened Feb. 21 to 24 just outside the nation’s capital. The Anti-Defamation League‚ which bills itself as the nation’s premier organization combatting antisemitism‚ has faced harsh criticism in recent years for downplaying antisemitism on the Left while condemning what it characterizes as “hate” on the Right. Menken condemned the ADL leader’s post Monday on the social media site X that lumped in “conspiracy theories” and neo-Nazis at the Conservative Political Action Conference alongside various incidents of antisemitism. “Quite a weekend‚” the Anti-Defamation League’s Greenblatt wrote in the post. He mentioned Farrakhan‚ the antisemitic Nation of Islam leader‚ “in Detroit railing against [ADL] &; the Jews” and protesters in New York City “screaming anti-Jewish hate at [journalist Bari Weiss] &; [comedian Jerry Seinfeld]‚” before mentioning “disturbing conspiracy theories &; neo-Nazis at [CPAC].” “Just unbelievable‚” Greenblatt added. Quite a weekend. Farrakhan in Detroit railing against @ADL &; the Jews. Frenzied protesters outside @92ndStreetY screaming anti-Jewish hate at @bariweiss &; @jerryseinfeld‚ and berating attendees. Disturbing conspiracy theories &; neo-Nazis at @CPAC. Just unbelievable.…— Jonathan Greenblatt (@JGreenblattADL) February 26‚ 2024 Neo-Nazis at CPAC? In a story condemned by CPAC as “fake news‚” NBC News reported Feb. 24 that a group of provocateurs who openly identified as national socialists attended a Young Republican mixer that evening and discussed “race science.” Matt Schlapp‚ chairman of the American Conservative Union‚ told The Daily Signal in a Friday phone interview that the NBC News report “was not journalism.” Schlapp said that Ben Goggin‚ the NBC News writer‚ attended CPAC “to undermine the organization” and “wrote a nonfactual story.” Schlapp added that he does not know “whether or not this cocktail party even existed.” “Their basic thesis is wrong that somehow CPAC is chummy with neo-Nazis‚” the ACU chairman said. “The record is clear. Whenever I’m made aware of any presence of some person espousing hate like that‚ they’re kicked out from our conference. We’ve kicked out [white nationalist and antisemite] Nick Fuentes from our conference.” Schlapp said NBC News “hates” CPAC attendees‚ and he accused the outlet of facilitating antisemitism while trying to “blame conservatives for what they’re guilty of.” “In psychology‚ they call that projection‚” he quipped. Schlapp noted that the news site Politico added a lengthy update to its Playbook newsletter citing Goggin’s NBC News report. He also said other NBC reporters apologized to him personally for the treatment CPAC received. “I’ve talked to reporters at NBC who found NBC’s role at CPAC to be clownish and they’re embarrassed‚” Schlapp told The Daily Signal. “For the NBC News reporters who have called me to apologize‚ I just want to say thank you.” NBC News did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by publication time. Support for Jews and Israel Menken noted the many ways the Conservative Political Action Conference has embraced Jews and the state of Israel‚ including members of the Jewish state’s parliament‚ the Knesset. “There were at least two dozen Jewish conservatives I know personally at the event‚” Menken told The Daily Signal. “There were also two members of Knesset there‚ at least one of whom stayed for the Shabbat program. At which non-Jewish progressive conference would two members of the Knesset be welcome?” Menken’s public statement Thursday noted other ways that CPAC had embraced him and other Jewish activists. “Its website announces that ‘CPAC Stands with Israel‚’” Menken wrote. “The general session included a panel on campus antisemitism and another featuring the father of an Israeli hostage. And‚ of course‚ there was the Shabbat at CPAC program‚ which Nick Fuentes attempted to disrupt last year after being ejected from the main conference.” Menken also noted an “ongoing pattern of partisan bias” at the Anti-Defamation League. The Coalition for Jewish Values repeatedly has condemned ADL’s Greenblatt for weaponizing charges of antisemitism against conservatives while turning a blind eye to antisemitism on the Left. Menken’s statement cited ADL’s attack on Chaya Raichik‚ the Orthodox Jewish woman behind the popular Libs of TikTok account on X‚ over her CPAC speech last year‚ and ADL’s decision to put Raichik in a “Glossary of Extremism” until she threatened to sue. In November‚ the Anti-Defamation League claimed that the National Center for Public Policy Research and the National Legal and Policy Center had employed “conspiracy theories or conspiratorial language … that could be interpreted as an antisemitic dog whistle.” Menken condemned this attack‚ arguing that “both of these organizations are robust fighters for Israel and against antisemitism.” The rabbi also noted that ADL condemned a Jewish writer‚ Ethan Peck‚ by name even though Peck opposes antisemitism and terrorism. “The ADL appears as concerned with a target’s politics as whether he or she is actually hateful—much less antisemitic‚” Rabbi Avrohom Gordimer‚ chairman of the coalition’s Rabbinic Circle‚ added in the Thursday statement from the Coalition for Jewish Values. “In the Raichik case‚ its accusations were not merely blatantly partisan but‚ by the ADL’s own admission‚ indefensible‚” Gordimer said. “But it appears the ADL learned precisely the wrong lesson from its debacle; it used couched weasel words to avoid a similar reaction from Peck‚ rather than sticking to what is both true and protects Jewish interests.” ADL’s Response “ADL calls out antisemitism and extremism regardless of whether it is coming from the Right‚ the Left‚ or anywhere else‚” a spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League told The Daily Signal in an emailed statement Friday. “Just a few examples from CPAC include multiple known white supremacists in attendance including Jared Taylor and members of the Groyper Army‚” the ADL spokesperson said. “Video shows one known white supremacist‚ Ryan Sánchez‚ wearing a CPAC credential‚ openly giving the Nazi salute. None appear to have been ejected as they have been in previous years.” (Schlapp contested that video‚ since it appeared in NBC News’ reporting.) “Additionally‚ the John Birch Society‚ an extremist group long considered too extreme by many on the right‚ officially returned to CPAC this year after a 12-year ban‚” the ADL statement added. The group also cited remarks from Jack Posobiec‚ senior editor at the conservative publication Human Events. “Also‚ the ‘end of democracy’ was cheered from the stage by Jack Posobiec who went on to say ‘we didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6‚ but we will endeavor to get rid of it‚’ and later ‘clarified’ that‚ ‘We’re not destroying all of democracy‚ just their democracy‚'” the ADL said. “Furthermore‚ a pinball machine was on display which allowed players to reenact the January 6th attack‚” the ADL spokesperson added. “The creator of the game made clear it was not meant as a joke‚ stating‚ ‘I decided to make a game that actually expresses what really happened on Jan. 6th. It’s very suspicious‚ and there was not any kind of serious investigation of what went on.'” Responses to ADL Posobiec told The Daily Signal that his comments about the “end of democracy” were meant as a joke. He sent the video of the speech‚ which shows laughter as he speaks. Jack Posobiec at CPAC: “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6‚ but we will endeavor to get rid of it.”Trump’s Republican Party openly wants to end democracy. We must stop them. pic.twitter.com/UITxEth0im— Republican Accountability (@AccountableGOP) February 22‚ 2024 Schlapp told The Daily Signal that the John Birch Society “for a number of years” has been only one CPAC cosponsor among many‚ “with no objection from the ADL‚ which seems more intent on playing politics than fighting antisemitism.” He also accused the Anti-Defamation League of “colluding” with NBC News “to smear the great Americans who make up CPAC.” “They are relying on leftist propagandists intent on disrupting our event‚” Schlapp added‚ referring to CPAC. “All the photos and videos I have seen are outside our event and therefore out of our control. If we determine someone to be a neo-Nazi‚ all can be assured they will not be sold a ticket in the future.” “Sadly for the ADL‚ they put out no statement praising our efforts to combat Jew hatred but instead fell in line with the pro-Hamas fake news: Tragic that institutions continue to fail us and aid those intent on destroying Israel and America‚” Schlapp said. “Hey ADL‚ who moved the American Embassy in Israel? Call me if you need guidance‚” he quipped. Have an opinion about this article?
