Arizona Narrowly Avoids Mass Migrant Street Releases With Federal Funding
Some Arizona leaders are breathing a sigh of relief as the federal government passed funding that will presumably go toward transporting migrants out of border communities or caring for them while there. There was widespread concern about daily mass migrant street releases starting in April, as federal funding for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection […]
Governments Cannot Change the Automobile Market
Editors Note: Despite 30 years of propaganda and massive subsidies, electric cars are losing popularity. The first wave of buyers seeking prestige, special lanes in traffic, rebates, tax breaks, and novelty, seems to be dwindling. Second-wave buyers are concerned about range and cost. So much so that now the government is making competition from gas-powered […]
Arizona News: April 10, 2024

House GOP investigates failures leading to 200,000 deportation case dismissals
U.S. House Republicans are demanding answers from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as to why more than 200,000 deportation cases were dismissed.

The policies they want to impose on society — renewable energy mandates, DEI programs, restricting emissions, or costly regulatory and compliance disclosures — increase everyone’s cost of […]
General Electric’s Taxpayer-Powered Wind Machines
Editors’ Note: This is just another example of wild spending to force change in the energy field on Americans and how badly US corporations have been corrupted by the government by the cynically named Inflation Reduction Act. “Wind turbines are like strippers. They stop working when you stop throwing money at them.” Author unknown […]

Biden Must Stop Playing Politics With The Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Oil and gasoline prices are rising now, just in time to become an issue for the 2024 presidential election campaign. The U.S. domestic price for West Texas Intermediate topped $86 per barrel in Friday trading, while the international Brent index briefly hit $91 before dropping slightly below that level. These are the highest prices for […]
Inflation Behaves Very Badly, Saga Far from Over
Ugly inflation in services drives up the 3-month “core CPI” for 7th month, to 4.5% annualized, worst in a year, and the 3-month overall CPI to worst since Nov 2022. So inflation behaved very badly again in March. January was terrible, but it was kind of written off as maybe one of those January blips. […]
