Night Cap: Social Justice Inflation — Is that the plan?

by John Klar

This is an older article, reprinted here because it is even more relevant that in 2021. But also, when people “forecast” the future — whether meteorologists, fortune-tellers, stockbrokers, or lawyers drafting contracts, the proof is in the pudding: were they accurate?

Fleets of EV Trucks Are an Impossible Dream

by John Klar

California has led the nation in a climate-saving push for EV tractor-trailer trucks to replace diesel power.

Biden Ignores The Facts When Praising Bidenomics

by Ray Cardello

It’s Time to G.E.T. R.E.A.L. About Vermont’s Future

Biden Winning in 2024 is More Urgent Than … Climate Change.

by John Klar

After investing billions of taxpayer dollars in electric vehicles (EVs), the Biden administration is making a sharp dogleg on ambitious targets for implementation.

Biden Administration Blames Putin For US Inflation

by John Klar

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for inflation in the US. Much like blaming the border crisis on Republicans despite years of Trump wrangling to “Build That Wall,” this effort to project American inflation onto Putin’s shoulders rings hollow.

The Demise of the Electric Vehicle

The nation’s recent deep freeze stranded many expensive electric vehicles (EVs) with drained batteries, often in front of charging stations equally disabled by the cold. Warmer areas like California, where some 39% of EV car owners reside, do not abuse their batteries with the harsh seasonal winters that threaten many regions of the nation and … Read more

The Corn Ethanol and Water Pollution Boondoggle

Climate change activists increasingly target agriculture as a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. Too often, this translates into condemnation of gentle cows or the pleasures of meat-eating instead of drawing attention to proper farming practices and land management. This is especially true with respect to water use and the ethanol industry. Water … Read more

by John Klar

The White House announced earlier this month multi-billion dollar spending on a high-speed rail system for the nation.

First question: Why do we even have a Climate Council at this point? Why have we ever had one? All these twenty-three (twenty-two, really, because the corrupt Speaker of the House has refused for over a year to appoint a representative from the Fuel Dealers as required by law) unelected, self-important bloviators do is sit … Read more

Leaf Blow Me!

The war on common sense isn’t limited to gender conflict. The same people taking things away from women are keen on robbing everyone else of something. Washington State Rep. Amy Walen has proposed a bill banning gas-powered landscaping equipment. My first thought?

Was This a Hate Hoax or was This Black Woman Part of the Hate MLK Crowd?

by Steve MacDonald

In the new black century, the race-baiters have been working overtime to undermine one of their own. MLK, once an icon of the civil rights movement, can no longer be honored as he once was. The color of your skin is the only thing that matters, and it must be black.
