The Case for Draining the Swamp Is Stronger Than Ever

The latest official employment report finds once again that the federal government and state-local hiring spree is still in full gear.

Save the Cows

Enjoy your cheeseburgers and steaks when you fire up the grill this Fourth of July weekend, because they may not be available much longer.

Climate Change Movement Goes to Court — Will Judges Ban Fossil Fuels?

Despite hundreds of billions of tax dollars spent on green energy over the past decade, the world and America used more fossil fuels than ever before in history last year. The electric vehicle movement is stalled out, solar and wind ...

Hey Joe: Where Are All the EV Charging Stations?

The Biden administration has spent tens of billions of dollars on green energy, yet last year the U.S. and the world used record amounts of fossil fuels.

Biggest Corporate Welfare Scam of All Time

President Joe Biden keeps lecturing corporate America to "pay your fair share" of taxes. It turns out he's right that some companies really are getting away scot-free from paying taxes. But it isn't Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley or the Wall Street financial company "fat cats" or big banks ...

Planes, Trains and Automobiles … and Trucks

The Biden administration has announced in recent weeks new stringent emissions requirements for virtually the entire American transportation system. The Environmental Protection Agency will mandate by the year 2035 that virtually every car made and sold in America must be an EV. No more gas cars. ...

Remedial Math

It's a good thing President Joe Biden wasn't strapped to a polygraph while giving his State of the Union speech on Thursday, because his results would have come back about as clean as O.J. Simpson's. That was especially true when he recited a lot of tall tales -- and some whoppers -- while touting ...
