Along with other Democrats and some members of the media, Democratic Gov. […]

Vivek was the single exception to an underwhelmingly mediocre debate While the eyes of well over 160 million people were on the highly-anticipated interview between President Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson, the undercard debate of also-ran candidates proved very telling in its own way, often at the expense of the GOP.

As whale deaths mount on the east coast, the Biden administration can no longer pretend offshore wind farms are harmless to marine life. FOX News Digital revealed that the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is quietly offering a grant to study interactions between wind farms and critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. Even though government-issued […]

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland was hit with an ethics complaint Thursday over her controversial decision to choke off hundreds of thousands of acres in New Mexico from oil and gas development.

The automobile is one of the devices that truly changed America and the world. Invented originally in Germany, it found its greatest expression and success in America. In the early years, car technology competed with each other based on gasoline or kerosene power, diesel, electric, and even steam. The internal combustion engine using gasoline prevailed. […]

Editors’ Note: The concept used to be, “public lands”, where ranchers, lumbermen, miners, off-road enthusiasts, hunters, hikers, and mountain bikers, in other words, “the public” had use of the Federal lands. Now propelled by the environmental movement, increasingly these become “private lands” government-owned and approved for only progressive causes. It is even worse. As the […]

A new report says that Biden’s Energy Secretary called up a top Chinese Communist Party (CCP) energy official before the Biden administration released America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) in late 2021. Aside from the ostensible goal of lowering gas prices (even while the Biden administration wrecked America’s energy independence), the Biden administration’s Department of Energy […]

2023 began with federal regulators targeting gas stoves, but we have since seen a host of other proposals going after washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers, ceiling fans, water heaters, and others. They are all part of the Biden administration’s prioritization of the climate change agenda over the interests of consumers. Each runs the risk of boosting appliance prices, limiting choice, and […]

Author and New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the 21st Century. The 2005 book wasn’t advocating the agenda of the Flat Earth Society, and Friedman likely hasn’t used the proceeds to help fund such a ludicrous group. But the charitable foundation he runs with his wife has done something […]

While I come from what might be called the traditional left, or what today can perhaps be called the RFK, Jr left, I have always been very interested in reading thinkers from other schools of political thought, especially libertarians.
