A new profile at InfluenceWatch for the Opposition to Nuclear Energy movement lists eleven anti-nuclear nonprofits that each individually have annual revenue in excess of $50 million. As shown in a previous essay, there are hundreds of left-leaning nonprofits that oppose the use of zero-carbon nuclear energy, including nearly all of the nation’s largest climate/carbon alarmist groups.

Critics of Donald Trump once counted tax evasion among his many faults. But it turned out that he wasn’t breaking any tax laws. He was simply utilizing the complex web of exemptions, deductions and other rules available to reduce his tax bill to near zero. It would be hard to imagine a worse tax system […]

Editors’ Note: It is quite striking how many similarities we have today with another thuggish Democrat, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The New Deal was the template for the modern welfare/warfare state and for the abuse of the electoral process, and the court system. Looking back, it seems fantastic that so many Americans were ready to give […]

With the clock ticking closer to the Sept. 30 government funding deadline, the conservative House Freedom Caucus this week outlined its official position on Washington’s latest spending debate. Rep.
