On October 29, almost out of the public eye, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) gave final approval to a dreadful regulation, mandating all energy in the state be produced with zero carbon emissions by 2050.

As controversy swirls around the latest Presidential election results, we need to ask ourselves some basic questions. Why do dead people overwhelmingly vote for Democrats? Historians widely agree that the election of 1960, the state of Illinois was delivered to the Democrats by the Daley political machine in Chicago. That resulted in the defeat of […]
