    How the FBI Smoked Out 2 CCP Agents on American Soil | Facts Matter

    The FBI successfully smoked out two agents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who were acting on American soil, attempting to bribe and manipulate the IRS into doing China’s bidding. After they were caught, the two men wound up pleading guilty—and just about a week ago, they were sentenced to prison. The story of who these men were, how they got recruited, the plan they were enacting, the specific CCP policy that they were pushing forward—as well as how the FBI was able to ultimately sniff them out and capture them—is fascinating to say the least. And tracking the story, it gives us a glimpse into what the FBI can do at its best, and secondly, the kind of lengths that the CCP will go to in hopes of silencing dissent of any kind.

    What the UN’s New Climate Policy Means for Your Life Under Trump | Facts Matter

    Every year, the United Nations holds its annual climate change conference. It’s called the “Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP). This year, the 29th annual COP was held on Nov. 11 in the city of Baku, which is the capital of Azerbaijan. However, unlike previous years, many challenges have arisen this year that pose serious problems to the U.N.’s climate agenda. Whether it’s the reelection of Donald Trump (and his promise to exit the Paris Climate Accords), western world leaders skipping the conference, or the host nation giving a speech in favor of fossil fuels, it appears that the pendulum is beginning to swing in the other direction. But the U.N. is not taking this lying down. Instead, it has announced a new initiative, called the “The Baku Initiative on Human Development for Climate Resilience.” Let’s go through what this latest initiative is, how it’s being implemented, the specific challenges it’ll face, and what it’ll mean going forward for the countries that are still committed to the U.N.’s climate agenda.

    Trump Announces ‘Operation Aurora’: Part of Largest Deportation Plan in US History | Facts Matter

    Starting in January, what might begin to unfold in this country is unprecedented. After years of record-breaking illegal immigration, the incoming Trump administration is serious about deporting millions—perhaps even tens of millions of people—from the United States. Not from the border region, but rather, from neighborhoods throughout the country. And so, if you think about it: The number of raids, roundups, fights with the police, manhunts, detention centers, government buses, chartered flights, and everything else involved in this operation might very well be huge. Even the sheer amount of cell phone video footage that will likely be floating around social media over the next year, as literally a million people or more per year could be deported, is going to be voluminous. This really might become the single biggest news topic over the next year. However, that’s only if Trump can actually carry out his deportation plan. Because despite a strong electoral mandate—which includes winning the popular vote, the electoral college vote, as well as winning a Republican Congress—Trump will actually have an uphill battle to implement his deportation agenda. In fact, there are forces already gathering their strength to push back against him come January. And so, let’s go through what those forces are, as well as the general challenges that Trump will face in his effort to deport potentially tens of millions of people.

    Winter Survival Guide: Make Your Car Winter Storm Proof | Facts Matter

    In some areas, the snowstorm dumped several feet of snow in a matter of a couple of hours. This happened during the height of that year’s holiday travel season. The snowstorm knocked out power for more than 100,000 people, it paralyzed most emergency services, it effectively stopped travel in general, and when all was said and done, it left at least 47 people dead. Some of those people died as a result of heart complications, because they over-exerted themselves shoveling snow. However, a significant portion of the deaths were a result of motorists who were trapped in their vehicles for an extended period of time, in freezing temperatures, beyond the reach of any emergency service personnel. These people sadly, literally, froze to death in their cars and trucks. And we’ve seen this sad scenario play out many times before when a natural disaster strikes. People assume, sometimes fatally, that first responders will be able to make it to them and save them from a desperate situation. But unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Sometimes, you really have to be your own first responder. And so in that vein, since we’re heading into the winter season, here are some recommendations on things that you can do to protect yourself and your family.

    On Day One, 8 Things Trump Will Do With Executive Orders | Facts Matter

    With Donald Trump now officially being the president-elect, the big question becomes: what will he actually do? While it might be impossible to map out what he’ll do over the course of four years—we actually have a good idea of what he’ll likely do starting on Day 1. And so, let’s review some of the recent statements made by Trump, in order to map out the 8 executive actions that he’ll likely take immediately after assuming office.

    America Gains 1 Million Square Kilometers After 20-Year Exploration | Facts Matter

    You probably didn’t know it, but in December 2023, the United States got a lot bigger. Specifically, the United States added about 1 million square kilometers to its territory. That’s approximately 386,000 square miles—roughly the size of two Californias. Now, you would think that something like this would have been front-page news. But it actually went largely unnoticed—probably because the area in question isn’t a physical landmass. Instead, the United States gained a million square kilometers (nearly 400,000 square miles) of premium seafloor real estate. This expansion (just from a sheer size perspective) is the most significant enlargement of the United States since the year 1867, which is the year Alaska was purchased from Russia.

    How Social Security Will Run Dry by 2035 | Facts Matter

    The Social Security program is quickly approaching the point of insolvency. According to a new analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, within the next nine years—if nothing changes—the average retired couple will see their benefits reduced by $16,500. At the same time, inflation over the next nine years will likely make goods and services significantly more expensive.
