Not to mention that regimes like the one in Iran tend to hide behind civilians by putting things the US and Israel are likely to strike close to those civilians.

Increasingly, the word 'toxic', similar to racist' before it, when applied by leftists and dems to others, simply means 'person I do not like or do not agree with, who I wish to tar and feather rhetorically'.

Self-created "untold stress and turmoil" because in reality it isn't happening. I never felt under "stress and turmoil" under the Clintoon and 0Bummer administrations.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday refused to rehear the lawsuit brought by twenty-two young climate activists, which initially challenged President Donald Trump’s fossil fuel agenda, leaving intact a panel decision that found the plaintiffs lacked standing. The youths in Lighthiser v. Trump argued that Trump’s executive orders promoting fossil fuel development would increase emissions and worsen climate-related harms in the future.

The 22 plaintiffs, from Montana, Oregon, Hawaii, California and Florida, filed Lighthiser v. Trump in Montana District Court in May 2025. In October 2025, the Montana court dismissed the youths’ lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction, despite finding “overwhelming evidence” that “climate change” will harm the plaintiffs in the future and defining the situation as “children’s health emergency.”

The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit in June 2026, with a three-judge panel affirming the Montana court’s decision. The plaintiffs then petitioned for en banc review in July, asking the full Ninth Circuit to reconsider the panel’s ruling.
