#10 DeSantis Proposes Plan To Thwart Biden From ‘Federalizing’ Guard Troops Sent to Texas - Jon Dougherty for Conservative Brief
Ron DeSantis has offered up a plan that would prevent President Biden from federalizing National Guard troops sent to Texas just days after former President Donald Trump, his onetime rival whom he endorsed last week, said states should consider deploying them to the Lone Star state. On Friday, the Florida governor endorsed legislation that would allow him to deploy the Florida State Guard — a militia-like military force reestablished during the COVID pandemic — to Texas. Being a true state force, Biden would have no constitutional authority to order them into federal service and thus take command of them...
#9 House Democrat Caught on Video Slamming Her Own Constituents For Supporting Trump: 'Drank the Trump Kool-Aid' - Chris Enloe for Blaze Media
Rep. Susan Wild (D-Penn.) has once again been caught disparaging constituents who support Donald Trump. As a result of population shifts, Pennsylvania lost a congressional seat after the 2020 census and, therefore, had to draw the state's congressional districts. Before the redraw, Wild's district — Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District — was solidly Democratic. But the redraw added Carbon County to the district, which Trump won by overwhelming margins in the 2016 and 2020 elections. Those Trump supporters, according to Wild, are guilty of drinking the "Trump Kool-Aid." At least, that's what she said in a recent Zoom meeting that included Sen. Bob Casey (D-Penn.) and Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Penn.), Fox News reported...

#7 Nancy Pelosi Loses It as Protesters Storm Her Property, Tells Them to 'Go Back to China' - Ben Kew for The Western Journal
Nancy Pelosi is finally learning what the far-left is really about. In a video circulating on social media, the former speaker of the House can be seen arguing with a group of anti-Israel protesters outside her home in San Francisco. Actor Jeremy Renner is returning to TV screens for the first time since his harrowing, near-fatal snowplow accident last January. Renner will return for the third season of the hit Paramount+ series “Mayor of Kingstown,” in which he stars. At one point, the series appeared doomed. The 53-year-old actor was operating a 14,300-pound snowcat on his Reno, Nevada, property on New Year’s Day last year when the unthinkable happened — Renner was crushed by it. He suffered 30 broken bones and organ damage, and one of his eyes popped out of his skull, NBC News reported... “The coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tons of CO2 per ton of coffee, so we should all know that,” he remarked... Nearly half of America's 30,000 cities will shrink by the end of the century, bringing 'unprecedented challenges' in keeping the lights on and buses running on schedule, researchers warn. Experts at the University of Illinois Chicago say the worst-affected cities could shed as much as 23 percent of people as residents move out to the suburbs and beyond for cheaper living elsewhere. The hollowed-out cities will struggle to keep up with basic services, as providers of public transit, internet cables, and other suppliers will struggle to turn a profit after their customers have fled. Falling numbers of tax-paying residents will strain services further still... A new report from Trustwave cybersecurity researchers SpiderLabs has claimed hackers are increasingly turning to the Greatness phishing kit due to its advanced features, simplicity in use, and relatively low cost. Greatness was developed by a threat actor going by the alias “fisherstell” and has been available since mid-2022, primarily targeting Microsoft 365 office software users. Other hackers can rent the tool to get everything they need to launch a successful phishing campaign - from email generation to anti-detection measures to an active community happy to help... Americans have always believed that every man and woman should have the right to live, work, and worship according to their own conscience. But sadly, millions of people around the world are still persecuted for their religious beliefs every year. Since the pilgrims landed on the shores of Plymouth Rock seeking the right to worship as they desired, America has been the greatest champion of religious liberty the world has ever known. The freedom of religion is America’s first freedom recorded in the Bill of Rights. America was the first nation in history to abolish religious qualifications for office. And it was America that led the world in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which enshrined the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion as an inalienable right of all mankind... National guardsmen tasked with protecting the southern U.S. border received some much-needed reinforcement today as Mike Lindell arrived in Texas to build a MyPillow border wall. The pillow mogul, left with millions of units in unsold inventory due to being boycotted by mainstream retail outlets, vowed to put his pillows to good use by constructing an impenetrable but luxuriously soft barrier to prevent illegal migrants from entering the country.
“Go back to China where your headquarters is!” she can be heard shouting at one point. The confrontation took place as hundreds of demonstrations continued to take place across the U.S. and the wider world, demanding a cease-fire in Gaza...

#6 WEF Speaker Warns Every Time We Drink Coffee, We Are 'Putting CO2 Into the Atmosphere’ - Jing Pan for Money Wise
It has been estimated that nearly 3-in-4 Americans drink coffee every day. However, did you know that your morning cup of Joe may also have repercussions for the environment? The topic recently came up during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Speaker Hubert Keller highlighted a crucial yet often overlooked issue for coffee drinkers. “Every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere,” Keller stated. Keller, who is a senior managing partner at Swiss private bank Lombard Odier Group, provided a quantification of this environmental impact.

The company's shares recovered some lost ground and were last down 5.2% in premarket trading.
