A State Department agency with a mission of combating disinformation abroad has helped shape coverage by—and in some cases subsidized—U.S. news outlets, according to records obtained by a conservative legal organization.

America First Legal says that over 600 pages of documents obtained in a public records lawsuit show the State Department’s Global Engagement Center worked with privately owned media organizations to tout government propaganda.

Among those named in the documents are The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, and PolitiFact.

PolitiFact’s parent organization, The Poynter Institute for Media Studies, a journalism group, also is shown to be heavily reliant on the State Department’s Global Engagement…

President Biden recently issued a 5,400-word executive order directing all federal agencies to emphasize “environmental justice” in every decision they make.

After ducking questions for weeks on what remediation, remuneration and environmental justice the administration is providing East Palestine, Ohio residents following a toxic railway chemical spill, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explained the EO in her inimitable style:

The President has “the most ambitious climate agenda than any other president in history, and one way that you can look at this today is that he’s continuing to deliver on that ambitious agenda, and he’s not done yet. This is a continuing continuation of what he’s promised the American people.”

In plain English, the order enables each agency to implement this infinitely malleable “justice” concept to justify whatever policies and regulations it is implementing in the name of abating the “climate crisis” and “fundamentally transforming”…

The rent-seekers profiting from the wind and solar scam hate nuclear power with a visceral passion. Nuclear power doesn’t generate carbon dioxide gas, so they can’t rant about ‘carbon pollution’ and ‘catastrophic climate change’, as they do when they’re out to sink the prospects of coal and gas-fired power generators.

And the rather other obvious problem with wind and solar (sunset and calm weather) doesn’t signify with nuclear power generation, which is available 24 x 365, irrespective of the weather.

So, whenever nuclear advocates (such as the French) go on the offensive and promote the very obvious benefits that come with nuclear power, the response from wind and solar rent seekers is little short of apoplexy.

Farmers and ranchers who assume that their main job is to produce food to feed hungry people stand corrected. John Kerry, the Biden administration’s special envoy on climate, wants to enlist them in the global struggle to combat the “climate crisis.”

“A lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emission in the world,” Kerry said during his May 17 keynote address at the Department of Agriculture’s AIM Climate Summit. “We can’t get to net-zero, we can’t get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. So all of us here understand the depths of this mission.”

“Food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way we do the things we’ve been doing,” he continued. “With a growing population on the planet – we’ve just crossed the threshold of…
