Kamala Harris Buys $8.2 Million Seaside Mansion After Warning ‘Sea Levels Are Rising’ Due to ‘Climate Crisis’
Washington Free Beacon | 1/15/26 | Eliana Johnson

Kamala Harris warned in 2023 that to “live in a coastal community is to live on the front lines of the climate crisis.” The failed presidential candidate is reporting for duty: She and her husband, Doug Emhoff, purchased an $8 million oceanside mansion in Malibu.

The purchase, our Thomas Catenacci writes, “calls into question Harris’s earnestness when discussing the threats posed by what she calls the ‘climate crisis.’” During her short-lived presidential campaign, Harris warned that “sea levels are rising” because humans are “poisoning the planet.” In the Senate, she cosponsored the Living Shorelines Act, which called to earmark $50 million annually for combating rising sea levels because they threaten “thousands of coastal communities and economies.” And the Biden-Harris administration released a climate model that says the beach that’s a short walk from Harris’s new pad will be significantly damaged by sea level rise.

Harris doesn’t appear to be bothered by those risks. Her new home is “perched in a prime coastal location” with “breathtaking ocean views,” according to a real estate listing we reviewed. It also features some of the luxuries—like a gas-powered stove and fireplace—that the Biden-Harris administration targeted with burdensome regulations.

The NFL Is Getting Brutally Mocked For Appointing A “Chief Kindness Officer” For The Super Bowl
whiskeyriff.com | January 29, 2026 | Aaron Ryan

The game kicks off on Sunday, February 8 between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. And with a full week of festivities planned for the week leading up to the game, the NFL announced today the appointment of one YouTube creator as the league’s “Chief Kindness Officer” and “Creator of the Week.”

That prestigious role goes to Dhar Mann, a YouTuber with nearly 27 million subscribers who’s known for his scripted content. …

In his role as Chief Kindness Officer, which is a totally real and not at all made up title, Mann will be responsible for leading “a series of digital, social, and on-the-ground activations designed to activate kindness and sportsmanship across fans and players throughout Super Bowl events.”

One of his initiatives will be a “Be Kind To Your Rival” campaign, for which the NFL will donate $1 to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital for every post using their hashtag that says something nice about a rival team or fanbase…up to $100,000. (I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Mann and all these creators are probably going to be making more than $100,000 off of this week, whether they’re being paid by the NFL or not).

Authorities Put CCP-Tied Trailer Park Next To Top Secret US Bomber Base On Notice
Daily Caller | 01/23/2026 | Philip Lenczycki and Melissa O’Rourke

Missouri is moving to shut down a trailer park business bordering Whiteman Air Force Base after a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation uncovered links between the property and a convicted fraudster with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence ties.

Secretary of State Denny Hoskins announced Thursday the administrative cancellation of Property Solutions 3603 LP, the operator of a Knob Noster Trailer Park that shares a perimeter fence with Whiteman Air Force Base, home to the B-2 stealth bombers. The company is ultimately controlled by a Georgia-based firm owned by a Canadian couple with ties to disgraced Chinese tycoon Miles Guo, who has publicly identified himself as a former CCP intelligence “affiliate,” a November DCNF investigation revealed. …

I’ve heard of “Pater Noster,” but Knob Noster . . . ?

Business records obtained by the DCNF show the property is owned through a web of shell companies controlled by Esther Mei and Cheng Hu.

“Mei and Hu

Are subject to

The blues now and then . . .”

The Canadian couple has connections to the New Federal State of China, [a.k.a. Minnesota] an organization associated with Guo. The self-described former CCP-affiliate was convicted in 2024 for orchestrating a fraud scheme exceeding $1 billion and is currently awaiting sentencing. …

Those concerns were underscored in early January when federal prosecutors announced charges against a Chinese illegal immigrant who allegedly photographed the B-2 aircraft by the base’s perimeter fence.

Worries about Chinese-owned property near sensitive military sites extend beyond Whiteman Air Force Base. Air Force Global Strike Command, based at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana and oversees all U.S. intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers, is flanked by two golf courses owned by a Chinese intelligence official, a January DCNF investigation found.

Researchers Just Sampled 1.4-Billion-Year-Old Air—and It’s Not What They Expected

Researchers have retrieved samples of 1.4 billion-year-old air from ancient crystals …

The next time I’m in a fancy bar, I’m going to order that author’s name, and see what I get.

— The bartender will be too proud to admit he doesn’t know what I am talking about — proving that we have something in common.

Over a billion years ago, a lake in modern-day Ontario evaporated. During the evaporation, some of the resulting brine was captured within halite crystals along with air bubbles—precise records of our early atmosphere’s makeup. Extracting accurate readings from these fluid inclusions, which have both air and brine (salt water), is difficult, however—some gases, including oxygen and carbon dioxide, act differently based on whether they exist in water or air. As such, it’s been challenging to precisely measure the gases in their original state.

The team solved the problem using a method previously developed by Park, uncovering that around 1.4 billion years ago, during the Mesoproterozoic era (1.6 to 1.0 billion years ago), Earth’s atmosphere contained ten times more carbon dioxide than today.…the Mesoproterozoic climate was more mild than researchers theorized.

The atmosphere also had 3.7% of today’s oxygen levels.
