UN’s ‘Green’ Plans Will Widen The Energy Gap, Keeping The World’s Poor In Squalor

Green energy policies hold back the developing world, creating a gulf in energy consumption between the West and nations such as Kenya. In mid-December, United Nations delegates from around the world flew their private jets to Dubai to announce a deal to phase out the use of coal, oil, and natural gas to fight climate...

Dueling Visits Show Biden’s Border Crisis Is The Defining Issue Of 2024

The current president and the once, and likely future president visited the U.S.-Mexico border today — but they said and saw very different things. President Joe Biden visited Brownsville, Texas near the Gulf Coast on Feb. 29, which is oddly appropriate, as Biden’s correct policy prescriptions are about as rare as leap days, a day...

Biden cuts off clean energy exports while Kenyans cook with dung

Rush toward green energy consigns Kenyans to continued energy poverty while limiting economic advancement. President Joe Biden’s decree to end permitting for the construction of more liquified natural gas export facilities is clearly aimed at shoring up his support among the left as he heads into a difficult reelection campaign. The move makes Europe more...

Imagine A World Where The Internal Combustion Engine Didn’t Exist

In 2084, humanity had finally turned its back on burning the ancient remains of a bygone era, only to find itself shackled to the caprices of the sun and wind. In the year 2084, the world had reached an equilibrium of sorts — a strange, unbalanced balance that no one had aimed for but had...

Bogus ‘ESG’ Group Rates China’s Slave-Fueled Energy Firms Better Than U.S. Oil And Gas Companies

Investment support services firm MSCI’s corporate leadership should be ashamed of continuing to shill for China. From June 28, 2022, to Feb. 8, 2024, two of China’s most well-known stock indices, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index and Hong Kong’s Hang Sang Index, have lost 20 percent and 28 percent of their value, respectively.

Iran’s proxies killed Americans and Biden’s weakness is to blame

Biden’s policies in the region represent a restoration of Obama’s policies. American servicemembers are dead, Iran’s proxies killed them, and President Joe Biden’s weak policies are to blame. Iranian-backed militants operating out of Syria or Iraq finally hit their mark over the weekend, using drones to kill three U.S. servicemembers in Jordan while wounding 25 more. The...

What To Make Of The Dual Legacies Of The Dueling Andrew Jackson

He remains a complex figure in American history — a war hero, a president, a man of the people to some, and a villain to others. Andrew Jackson’s place on the $20 bill has about six years remaining until his image is scheduled to be replaced by Harriet Tubman, the pistol-packing Underground Railroad operator. Tubman’s bravery...

Biden’s border chaos goes global

Central America could be hit hard if US sends back illegal immigrants because of Biden’s border chaos. President Joe Biden’s border crisis started even before he was sworn into office in January 2021, with illegal immigrants rushing the U.S.-Mexico border in anticipation of Biden’s promised lax border enforcement.

Is China Weak Or Just Pretending?

Do the mysterious removals of cabinet ministers and generals signal weakness? Paranoia? Or something else? Several high-profile purges are said to have happened in China over the past few months.

Gavin Newsom gives new handout to illegal immigrants and taxpayers could be on the hook

Biden actions could mean an additional $11 billion in taxpayer funds for California. Much of America’s future is made, tested, and—more often than not in recent years—fails in California. California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced that California would begin providing health care coverage to an additional 764,000 illegal immigrants on top of the 1.1...

As Biden’s border disintegrates, Texas Democrats plot with Mexico

Democrats and Mexican officials have responded to Texas’ new law with fear-mongering and threats. President Biden’s border crisis shows no signs of abating as the state of Texas, overwhelmed with would-be migrants, fortifies its defenses with new laws. Chief among the new measures is Senate Bill 4, expected to be signed into law in days by Republican Gov....

Wisconsin’s Vote-By-Mail Reform Bill Tackles A Problem That’s Here To Stay

The bill aims to reduce the backlog of uncounted ballots, potentially speeding up the final count and enhancing transparency. The gold standard in voting is to vote in person on Election Day while showing a government-issued photo ID to prove eligibility. That said, eight states conduct elections entirely through the mail — California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon,...
