  • Tippy, Chapter Six

    I decided I had to find Pete and Jim. I knew I would not be happy until I did. It can’t be that hard – the old chicken had given me the address. The next morning, I ask her if she knew where Ivy Hill Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio was. She stared at me and said, “west.”  
  • Obamacare did not lower costs; time for a better approach

  • A sermon on Matthew 5:20-22
    You love God better through the sacrifices you make and sufferings you endure for another. Mildred would sometimes surprise me by cooking my favorite dish – Beefaroni. She called it "goulash." I hope it's on the menu at God's Heavenly Banquet.
  • Bread and circuses
    While we argue about grocery bills and pore over Epstein’s guest list, the country sleepwalks past immigration unrest, an AI job shock, and the real possibility of war in the Pacific. Bread. Circuses. And no one minding the empire.
  • America’s next frontier is building pro-innovation framework for digital assets
    With old, obstructionist politicians out of the way, it’s time for Congress to do its job: to pass market-structure legislation that provides clarity, stability, and vision for digital assets. We’ve done this before with electricity, aviation, and the internet.
  • Why is there so much lying in politics?
    Lying in politics has changed. Politicians used to lie in hopes of getting away with it. Now they don’t care. If you throw enough mud on the windshield, some of it will stick.
  • Crudely put: Oil is everywhere
    As the French historian of technology Jean-Baptiste Fressoz has recently pointed out, in history there has never been a true energy transition. As “new” energy sources become more prominent, that is to say, they add to rather than replace the energy sources they are intended to replace.
  • Wintertime rigamarole
    I knew that a doozy of a task awaited my doing, and I was far from inclined to get started. All I wanted was lallygag at my warm workbench and fiddle with my marbles.
  • Bringing taxpayer dollars home
    Congress’ most basic responsibility is also one of its most important: funding the federal government. When Congress fails to do that job, the consequences reach beyond Washington — delaying services, creating uncertainty for families and businesses, and eroding trust in government.
  • One nation, under God
    Some days in this business do two things, both of which are personal: Urinate me off and waste my time. This is one such day. This is simply beyond the pale for anyone, much less a U.S. president.
  • Poll: Majority prefer Trump's immigration policies over Biden's
    A majority of Americans say they prefer President Donald Trump's approach to border security and immigration than they do former President Joe Biden's, according to new polling data.
  • Appalachian gas key to lowering emissions and prices amid rising power demand
    As demand for U.S. electricity has increased in the last few years, the role of natural gas in providing reliable baseload power has become more important to consumers, businesses, and to balancing the electrical grids that are also using more intermittent renewable energy.
  • Paving the road to housing
    The Streamlining Rural Housing Act will enhance efficiency and lower costs.
  • Inspired by a beer company and rockers
    Perhaps we have collectively decided some of the crazy stuff we have been experimenting with as a country is not so good for us after all. I hope so.
  • The American manifesto
    For 250 years, we have attacked the earth, sky, sea, and space, not to conquer or control but to improve the conditions of human life. We blazed trails and broke the plains. We were first in flight and first to the Moon. We were first to electrify our cities, which powered our mighty industries.
  • Model city: Portland’s journey from symbol of chic to shabby
    The city is also enduring a full-blown economic crisis. Businesses have been fleeing the city. As of last year, Portland had the highest commercial real estate vacancy rate of any major city in the country, and it remains at record levels.
