Costly Virtue Signaling Forced on America by Left
The Left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient, but more expensive, doesn’t really meet the definition of innovation. Even the purported amenities and technological advances EV makers like to brag about in their ads have been a regular feature of gas-powered vehicles going […]
The Lifestyle Of Climate Radicals Tells You All You Need To Know About Their Sincerity
Either climate alarmists don’t actually believe the planet is doomed, or they aren’t as confident in that belief as they claim to be. A panel of scientists recently claimed that humans’ effect on the planet is so significant it should be memorialized through the creation of a new geological epoch that began sometime in […]
Navajo Nation Leader Says Biden, AOC Energy Policies Cripple Tribe’s Economy
Members of the Navajo Nation in the southwestern U.S. say the federal government is leaving their people behind with its energy policies, crippling their economy and leaving more people in poverty. Republicans on the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources are attempting to overturn such Biden administration policies, including the Department of Interior’s land withdrawal […]
EVs Are Not The Solution
Electric vehicles have become the centerpiece of the plan to ward off climate change by drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Biden administration seems to feel that if we can just get people to plug in their cars to a non-emitting electrical socket instead of filling up with carboniferous fossil fuels – voila! By 2050 […]
The Existential Threat of Bob Iger’s Yacht
If climate change is an existential threat, should the government ban yachts, mansions, Disney cruises, Disney World, and green phonies? In 2021, the Disney Company issued its 183-page Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which included a section on environmental sustainability. Disney CEO Bob Iger is currently having a superyacht built for himself that is 210 feet […]
Why EVs Are ‘Piling Up’ at Dealerships, Despite Massive Taxpayer Subsidies
Federal lawmakers created a glut of EVs with their meddling, and it’s likely to have an adverse impact on both the auto market and the environment. Ford Motor recently announced it is slashing prices on its F-150 Lightning, an electric vehicle the company rolled out in 2021. The Lightning now carries a suggested retail price of […]
The Cunning Tyranny of Abstract Notions of the “Common Good”
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. This, owing to their generalized disdain for war and empire, their fierce belief in the need […]
DOJ Indictment Of Trump Is A Declaration Of War Against American Voters
It’s not about Trump. It’s about criminalizing dissent and punishing the millions who voted for him — and warning them not to do it again. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department took the unprecedented step of indicting former President Donald Trump — Biden’s chief rival in the upcoming 2024 election — for repeatedly expressing […]
The Stealth Bull and Bear Markets In Gold and Bonds
Almost a half-century ago, legendary trader Richard Dennis of C&D Commodities put on a famous trade: long (soy)beans and short bonds. The trade reflected the established bull market in commodities and bear market in 30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds. It was an era of high inflation (peaking at 14 percent during the disastrous Carter Administration). Bonds […]
Household Names Helping Ban Gas Stoves: Patient Zero
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 […]
