The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has historically lost mass, significantly contributing to sea-level rise, with intensified losses in West Antarctica and parts of East Antarctica, particularly from 2011–2020.

However, between 2021 and 2023, driven by anomalous precipitation, the AIS experienced a record-breaking mass gain, even reversing trends in critical glacier basins like Totten, Moscow, Denman, and Vincennes Bay.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether all this hullaballoo about climate change and melting ice caps may be so much hot air.

Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Sachs is now saying he is “99% sure” that the University of North Carolina (UNC) conducted extensive gain of function research beginning in 2015 and that this research led to the development of COVID-19.

Sachs says he is concerned about unregulated research and the lack of global governance for handling dangerous pathogens. This systemic issue underscores the plausibility of an accidental release from a U.S. lab like UNC.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the compelling evidence supporting the conclusion that COVID came from Ralph Baric’s research at UNC.

Conservative commentator Candace Owens has publicly criticized Donald Trump for abandoning his “American first” pledge in favor of Israel and against free speech. In a recent episode of her podcast, “Candace,” she voiced concerns over the administration’s actions against universities, particularly regarding free speech issues.

Owens stated, “I never thought that I would see a day where I would be rooting for a university above Donald J. Trump and his administration. But I don’t recognize this administration right now.” She highlighted the administration’s actions against Harvard University, which is facing threats of federal funding cuts for not complying with certain demands.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Trump has betrayed virtually every fundamental pledge he made to his MAGA base.
