Tax on Gas & Diesel Could Start at 26 Cents per Gallon

February 27, 2025 Rob Roper

When it comes to the unaffordable climate change policies being pushed on Vermonters by the Democrat majority in the State House, the Clean Heat Standard for the home heating sector has received all the attention for the past couple of years, but heat only represents about 40 percent of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions. The … Read more

Bill Introduced to Repeal Federal Laws That Ruined Gas Cans

February 21, 2025 Steve MacDonald

I don’t think any of our writers have riled on this issue more than Skip. The ruination of the iconic gas can via federal interference and regulation. An icon of government interference for the everyman. A bureaucratic assault on simplicity that drove up the price while making it nearly impossible to use one. Talk about … Read more

Fossil Free World is Folly

October 24, 2022 Ray Cardello

The idea of being out of “gas-guzzling” cars and trucks and into battery-operated vehicles by 2035 is foolish enough. The thought that our military can be carbon neutral at the same time is not only folly but is so dangerous to our national security that whoever utters such foolishness should be charged with treason. That … Read more

Gas Prices are Creeping Back Up. Joe, Are You There?

September 28, 2022 Ray Cardello

Listen to Joe Biden, and the price of gas continues to drop. Listen to the facts, and the gas price has increased each of the last eight days. It is mind-boggling how this current administration looks you in the eye and lies or changes the definitions to fit their narrative.

Just How Expensive Will a Gallon of Joe’s Gasoline Get?

March 8, 2022March 8, 2022 Steve MacDonald

With Joe adding new records to his resume every day, we feel obligated to ask. The US just experienced the highest price for a gallon of gasoline ever on its way to the “highest ever” again, maybe every day, and for how long?

If Americans “Hoarded” Liberty like Toilet Paper or Gasoline…

December 5, 2024May 13, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The latest crisis that is not “the real crisis” is gasoline. Not everywhere. The southeastern United States panicked after a hacker incursion led Colonial to shut down its pipeline. It was not unreasonable, exactly. Stations ran out of gas.

CA Green Energy Agenda Caused 50,000 Gal. of Raw Sewage to Dump into the Oakland Estuary

September 30, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The left likes to claim a unique awareness of subtle shades. The many different choices between black and white and all the colors of the rainbow. Hogwash. The left only sees shades and colors when they parrot the party agenda. And there is only one shade of green, and it is just plain stupid.

February 22, 2020February 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Sea Level Rise Fraud is a thing. Regular readers will be familiar. It’s an issue the left thinks will activate “regular people” to support their mass-confiscation of their incomes. Which in the northeast, when it comes up, should always be followed with this question.

New Jersey is the last, and only, state in the Country where its citizens are not allowed to pump their own gas. That’s likely one of the lowest priority problems they have, but still it begs many questions. The official Government of New Jersey Twitter account, or whoever runs it, is.. well.. Imagine living in … Read more

Hey Democrats! What’s the Plan for the 6000 Things we Make from Oil Besides Gasoline?

October 2, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Part of the problem with Democrats, and there are plenty of them, is that their obsession with keeping oil in the ground is not just impractical; it is impossible.

You’re Fracking Welcome – Downed Drones, Seized Tankers, Oil Prices Barely Budge

July 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The left hates fracking. They’ve gone to great lengths to stop it, from legislation to movies funded by Saudi Oil Sheiks to mobs and rants and scam science. And had they succeeded the recent disputes with Iran would have driven gas prices through the roof.
