  • The age of shabby and shoddy, Part 2

    Little did I know three weeks ago that I would be revisiting this topic again so soon. However, thank you, Senate Majority Leader Charles Ellis Schumer, D-N.Y., for providing our topic this week.  
  • Who let the horses out?
    Something was quite wrong with this scene. The cattle were supposed to be eating their fill, and the horses were supposed to be on a diet. What, I wondered, could have possibly gone wrong?
  • U.S. offshore wind plans are collapsing
    Offshore wind developer Ørsted has delayed its New Jersey Ocean Wind 1 project to 2026. Previously, the company had announced construction of the project would begin in October 2023. The delay was attributed to supply chain issues, higher interest rates and a failure so far to garner enough tax credits from the federal government. 
  • Deadline Oct. 6 to opt out of electricity aggregation program
    I have had AEP service for more than four decades at my home and business. I am not upset with my AEP billing or service. Had I discarded what at first glance I thought was junk mail, I would have unwittingly changed billing services. No thanks. I'll keep my billing – and more importantly my customer service – with AEP Ohio.
  • Sens. Paul, Vance and Rep. Roy reject indefinite war in Ukraine
    “The American people deserve to know what their money has gone to. How is the counteroffensive going? Are the Ukrainians any closer to victory than they were six months ago? What is our strategy, and what is the president’s exit plan? What does the administration define as victory in Ukraine?"
  • Biden has created an environment where human traffickers, drug cartels, terrorists rule the day
    If you look back over his administration, there have been 2.3 million people that have come here (last fiscal year alone). You need to put that in perspective. Alabama is the 24th largest state in the nation, and that is about half of our population of 5 million. That was the last fiscal year alone. If you look at the total compilation to this point in his administration, we’re at about 7 million.
  • Poll: Trump leads GOP contenders among New Hampshire voters
    Former President Donald Trump has a commanding lead among likely New Hampshire voters, with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley following, according to a new poll released by CNN and the University of New Hampshire.
  • Slowing, stopping & reversing China's creeping threat
    The Chinese government poses an immediate threat with long-lasting implications. Their authoritarian leaders are carrying out a century-long plan to reshape the world, and we must act now to ensure future generations enjoy the economic freedom and domestic security inherent to America’s identity.  
  • 2023 could see highest number of people on food stamps since Obama/Biden administration
    The 2023 fiscal year is on track to average the highest number of individuals on food stamps in the U.S. since 2016.
  • Lies, damn lies, and the Sierra Club
    Every day, thousands of folks working in the mining industry roll up their sleeves and work hard to benefit all of Kentucky – yes, even those who wish to destroy their businesses.
  • American pandemic ‘samizdat’
    During the pandemic, the U.S. government violated my free speech rights and those of my scientist colleagues for questioning the federal government’s COVID policies. American government officials, working in concert with big tech companies, defamed and suppressed me and my colleagues for criticizing official pandemic policies – criticism that has been proven prescient.
  • Biden’s defenders are blowing smoke
    When it comes to the mainstream press, it seems you can fool all of the people all of the time.
  • Biden, Tump families can’t escape corruption accusations
    How this all plays out in November 2024 is anyone’s guess. If the question remains a debate over which side is more corrupt, Trump probably benefits – because four years ago, voters expected more from Biden.
  • The beautiful pessimism at the heart of Jimmy Buffett’s music
    Buffett’s music was high art, for what it did so well was to help its listeners to escape the onslaught of modern life and teach them to laugh again – not in hedonistic ignorance of its difficulties, but in spite of them. What Buffett and all of his fans secretly know is that such escapist reveries are not merely an optional lark but a necessary tool for survival.
  • American energy for the American people
    Unfortunately, instead reversing his decisions, last week the president furthered his problematic agenda to force his radical green energy agenda on the country by ending more fossil fuel drilling on 10.8 million acres of land in Alaska. The president’s decision to stifle what is left of our energy production here at home will not only disrupt our economy even more, but it could also cost thousands more American jobs, including in indigenous communities.
  • Spinning the press on Hunter Biden
    The White House is still hoping it can still instruct journalists on how to cover the story. Shortly after McCarthy’s impeachment inquiry announcement, President Biden’s White House staff circulated a memo, instructing media outlets on how to cover the news. In bold type, the memo claimed that the entire Hunter Biden conflict of interest scandal had been “refuted” and “debunked” – language that was adopted in media reports about the inquiry in Vox, NBC News and CNN.
