Democrats will use abortion as a ‘wedge’ issue to nuke the filibuster, allowing them to enact many other bad policies. What does abortion have to do with the future of fracking in the United States? Much more than one might expect. Kamala Harris’ announcement that she supports an “exception” to the filibuster underscores the stakes in November’s […]

As America’s “greenest” President (Joe Biden) fades into the sunset, one is reminded of the 1990 Tom Hanks blockbuster Joe Versus the Volcano. Our salvation may be near. In the movie, Joe Banks (Hanks) is told by a doctor he is dying. He is then duped by an unscrupulous billionaire into throwing himself into a volcano. […]

Kamala Harris continues to support California’s tax-and-spend, overreaching, and economy-crushing policies and their threats to America’s energy, agricultural, economic, employment, living standards, and national security future. The deterioration of the California lifestyle has led to the “California exodus,” the ongoing migration of residents and businesses from California to other states or countries. Now, with the presidential election around the corner, are the 300 million Americans not living in the West ready to duplicate California’s expensive electricity and fuel prices and increasingly high costs of living, housing, and transportation coupled with an increase in crime, smash-and-grab robberies, and homelessness?
Irrelevant, anti-oil activists say, they also emphasize why we must banish oil and gas – and replace fossil fuels with clean, green wind, solar, and battery power. Otherwise, wildlife, beaches, and tourism will be threatened repeatedly by oil spills. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that these supposed alternatives won’t work – especially as AI, EVs, data centers, government-mandated electric heating and cooking, and charging grid-backup batteries, double or triple electricity generation demands. Intermittent electricity cannot power modern nations. Wind and solar cannot produce thousands of essential products that require petrochemical feed stocks. These energy sources are not clean, green, renewable or sustainable. They endanger wildlife.
We are in the camp that argues climate is always changing, and that attempts to change the environment by government edict will fail, and that those bad policies will have major negative consequences elsewhere. The science is not settled and it is not clear that C02 emissions are causing climate change. Many independent variables, including […]
In July, John Deere announced that it was stepping away from DEI efforts and would cease sponsoring “social or cultural awareness” events. The announcement came a week after Business Insider reported that Microsoft had laid off its entire DEI team. Microsoft’s action, in turn, had come just weeks after Tractor Supply, a Brentwood, Tennessee-based company, decided to pull the plug on its social activism efforts in the face of a social media campaign targeting the company. The backlash against DEI has been so intense that the term itself appears to be going the way of the dodo. The Society for Human Resource Management recently announced it was ditching the word equity from its acronym.

Editors Note: Every day it seems, we read articles about how much power cryptocurrencies use, how much AI is and will consume, and how much power millions of electric vehicles will consume.

Kamala Harris is oblivious to humanity’s addiction to oil as she is to these two basic facts: No one uses crude oil in its raw form. “Big Oil” only exists because of humanity’s addiction to the products and fuels made from oil! “Renewables” only exist to generate occasional electricity, as they CANNOT make any products or fuels!

Because of Harris’ professional background, failed 2020 campaign, and tenure as Biden’s vice president, we can already be certain that a Kamala Harris presidency would be awful. Harris represents not merely a continuation of the Obama-Clinton-Biden doctrine of progressive interventionism at home and abroad but an acceleration. As vice president, she remained closely aligned with Biden on all of the worst things he’s done. She had a hand in his repressive response to the pandemic, championed his effort to expand the federal government’s industrial policy, and pushed him to attempt his illegal, regressive student loan forgiveness plan.
Editors’ Note: This is an all too familiar political game described herein. The government mandates something for the “environment” to pet companies that get subsidies and orders. These companies then kick back some of the funds in the form of campaign contributions. It is little more than Democrats getting tax dollars for their own purposes, […]
