A bunch of robes with lawyers in them (housed in the finest Corinthian Style) will sit in judgment over numerous conflicts between people, states, or against the federal government, and so on. This is a tried-and-true tradition with questionable results based increasingly on ideology and peer pressure rather than the Constitution. It is, as they … Read more
A water main breaks every two minutes somewhere in the U.S., resulting in contaminated drinking supplies and boil water notices. One out of three bridges in the U.S. needs repair, endangering hundreds of millions of commuters. More than 42,000 bridges across the country, carrying about 167 million vehicles each day, are in disrepair. It is estimated that 300 million people could … Read more
A flare-up in the culture war has become an election issue and an August 16 ruling by the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) guarantees it will not go away. Title IX is a federal civil rights law protecting those who attend a school that receives federal funds against discrimination on the basis of sex. The intention … Read more
The life of an editor-in-whatever it is I am includes the email equivalent of what would make any Italian mama happy. It’s full, but that doesn’t stop it from asking for more—no asking required. As Skip likes to say, we get stuff, which is a good thing, and among the digital mounds is a piece … Read more
The prolonged drought of landfall hurricanes during the global warming era has been a sore spot for the Climate Chicken(s) Little. Regular readers know this and have come here regularly to reload their narrative blow torches for battles in the multi-platformed, not always social internet media universe. A search for Hurricane produces nearly 300 results. … Read more
The Federal Government can either continue to be embarrassed or learn from the private groups that see problems or suffering and react. Many of the states in the Southeast are still digging out from the wrath of Helene as they wait for massive rainfalls coming this week. The death toll continues to rise, and we … Read more
We have over 300 bits of content on Electric Vehicles: articles, research, graphs, sales figures, losses in an investment, and (of course) evidence that they are not just not green; they are brown. From tires to weight, construction to transportation, mining, manufacture, disposal, and how the electricity they use is generated, they are brown. Hurricane … Read more
I have frequently written over the last several years that the agenda of the climate-alarm lobby in the western world is not consistent with the maintenance of democratic forms of government. Governments maintained by free elections, the free flow of communications and other democratic institutions are not able to engage in the kinds of long-term … Read more
A Democrat governor guilty of mismanagement and fraud? Can’t be! (that was sarcasm, by the way). Sorry, but it’s true. While misappropriation of paper money printed by the Fed is common, and more common – I’d argue – where Democrat machines control the politics, even folksy governor Tim Walz has found himself a suspect. [An … Read more
Sabrina Carpenter has been a star since she was 12, starring on Disney’s Girl Meets World. Now she’s a singer and, I’ve heard, she has broken records set by the Beatles. She’s recorded a catchy cover of Nancy Sinatra‘s 1965 hit “These Boots Are Made For Walking.” ”I want to feel as confident as humanly possible … Read more
The Butler did it this weekend. That is, Butler, Pennsylvania, did it on Saturday afternoon as Donald Trump returned to the spot where an assassin attempted to end his life just twelve weeks ago. This rally was not your typical Trump event. It was so much more. Saturday’s event was filled with emotion, remembrance, and … Read more
Another dem has publicly walked away from the party – with a bit of style. MC Armstrong took to X this week to publish his “Career Suicide note.” He is voting for Donald Trump. It is a great note, but all the things he names about Democrats that made him choose Trump, we must acknowledge … Read more
Do EPA regulations prohibit racism or implement it? A recent federal court decision prohibited the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating pollution based on skin color. Viewed as a blow to “environmental justice” initiatives, the Louisiana decision hinged on an important distinction between government policies created with racist intent versus those that result in racially disparate impacts. The … Read more
I know people who can’t go places because of some actual or perceived trauma. It’s a rough ride for them. But that’s regular folks—you and me. We’re not looking to run the free world. You need desire, ambition, perseverance, and fearlessness. You need a clue. Some intellectual agility. And experience helps. Mr. Trump, like him … Read more
The climate crazies are getting their hurricane season peak a month late this year because (same as always) trying to live a comfortable lifestyle broke the planet. September started to show some promise a bit late, but October? We’ve got more cyclones than you can shake a hockey stick at. And while FEMA does bureaucratic … Read more
The presumption of liberty is an established liberal tradition according to which any restrictions on individual liberty require justification. Gerald Gaus and Shaun Nichols depict this as a principle of “natural liberty,” a “general presumption in favor of freedom of action.” As they explain, if natural liberty is a general presumption we expect, it to … Read more
Doug Emhoff (Kamala’s alleged husband) has adopted something of a new masculinity, crafted by communications experts and sold by the media. He’s the new man (how Marxist)—what a guy should be—the perfect example of what a First Gentleman should look like, you know, if were to become one. It’s all bullsh!t. Emhoff, like Kamala, is damaged goods … Read more
Kamala Harris, the inept individual who wants to be President, told us on Wednesday, nearly a week after the rain started falling in the southeast, that she was proud of our support for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Families who have lost their homes, cars, neighborhoods, and possibly some of their families will get a … Read more
Be they bewildering, perplexing, or just puzzling, the world is filled with things that don’t seem to or perhaps don’t always make sense. Not right away, nor even after some measure of consideration. Our tolerance for such things will be as manifold as there are people to consider them, but some things oughtn’t be so … Read more
Remember that time at Little Lenin Camp when Comrade Newsom tried to ban AI-generated content that could be considered parody or just … I don’t know … constitutionally protected speech. It was about a month or two ago—a long time ago on the internet but a blink of an eye to history. California’s All-Union Congress … Read more
