    What if the demand for electricity significantly exceeds the supply over the next decade? We’d have soaring prices and rolling brownouts. That crisis could easily be triggered by the electric vehicles (EVs) Biden’s administration is pushing.

    There is no politics without an enemy. Therefore, the point of any politics is to rally under a warrior leader and then defeat the enemy. One of my readers recently wrote that he objected to my use of the term “educated ruling class.” Said he: Every Jill Biden with a Ph.D. in kiddie literature considers themselves ruling class. They are decidedly uneducated. Of course, I use the term while understanding that it is mostly the ruling class’s self-image. Our liberal friends believe that their right to rule issues from their education. You doubt it? Here’s an Atlantic writer, David Graham,...

    ...Speaking on CTV News at Six Monday evening, Sloly said demonstrators are adapting quickly to any enforcement efforts, such as disallowing fuel containers into the downtown core. "What was happening during the course of the day is some of the protesters were deliberately filling jerry cans with water, literally drinking out of them to show the police that they weren't gasoline," Sloly said. "Meanwhile, they were carrying gasoline in other containers that would have been carrying water."

    Pro-Trump conservative Katie Arrington will on Tuesday formally launch a congressional bid in South Carolina’s first congressional district, she told Breitbart News exclusively on Monday evening. The race will pit Arrington against establishment GOP Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) — a major proxy battle for the future of the party in South Carolina’s low country. “The South Carolina low country needs to be represented by a true, pro-Trump conservative representative who’s going to stand up,” Arrington said in a phone interview. “The current congresswoman turned her back on the low country. She turned her back on President Trump, and she has...

    Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Monday endorsed Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s reelection months ahead of the GOP primary, even as the former president courts a challenger to run against the freshman House member. “Nancy is the conservative voice the Lowcountry needs in Washington,” Haley said Monday in a statement endorsing Mace. “She’s a fighter who stands up to Biden’s reckless spending, punches back against lawless lockdowns and mandates, and is strong on border security.” Mace, who is in her first term after unseating Democrat Joe Cunningham in 2020, is facing four challengers — Thomas Allen, Keith Blandford, Ingrid...

    How is the mood in Virginia these days? It appears to be a bit litigious. Last month, seven school boards announced they were suing Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin over his executive order banning mask mandates in schools. The ACLU is also suing Youngkin over the order, despite the fact that it used to sue to protect liberties, not infringe on them. Youngkin, meanwhile, is suing the Loudoun County School Board, which is also being sued by parents incensed over its mask policies as well as all of its other policies … This brings us back to Youngkin. The man who...

    Perhaps the most important long-term fallout of the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic has been the exposure of the venality and politicization within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as other federal health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Nothing personifies this corruption more than the FDA’s absurdly close ties to the pharmaceutical companies. Thus, their refusal to recognize proven inexpensive therapeutics and their unorthodox approach in licensing certain Pfizer and Moderna mRNA Covid-19 -- vaccines that are not offered for sale in the United States. What was the FDA’s and the pharmaceutical companies’ endgame in this...

The intrusion of the tech monarchs into the politics of our democracies is grim and dangerous.... [The Protest] started around mandates and triple vaccines as they affected a single industry, but it is now so much more. It is among other things, a contest over civil rights; the guttering of the Charter; about Canadian politics as seen from the metropolises of central Canada versus the view from the always less regarded concerns and sensibilities of rural and Western Canada. Also,...

    NEW KFC OFFERING. Remember when Playboy magazine reportedly offered Sarah Palin $4,000,000 to pose nude in an upcoming issue? Then, Michelle Obama was offered $50.00 by National Geographic? And remember when KFC offered a "Hillary" meal, consisting of two small breasts and two large thighs? Now KFC is offering the "Biden Cabinet Bucket." It consists of nothing but left wings and assholes. Just keeping you up to date… More reflections China claims that corona-virus came from an old bat, but Nancy Pelosi denied having been involved.

  • Woke Hiring by Airlines is A Scary Business

    Just take a look at what's been seen in some of the third world airlines with less-than-qualified pilots. The “woke” culture has infected large areas of our lives over the last few years. Much of it has just been annoying, but a new example could actually be dangerous. That is the push to hire and staff our airline cockpits with pilots chosen primarily for their gender or race, which I believe to be a very dangerous concept. Before I comment further, I should explain my background and credentials to speak on the matter. I flew for nearly thirty-seven years, the...

    Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger blasted twice-impeached ex-president Donald Trump as someone he wants his newborn son to know as “the worst president the United States of America ever had” just days after the Republican National Committee censured him for participating in the House probe into the 6 January 2021 insurrection. Mr Kinzinger, who recently announced he would not stand for office in this year’s November midterm elections, told CNN’s New Day host John Berman he wants to make sure his son, who was born just three weeks ago, can “get a full accounting” of the worst attack on the Capitol...

    resident Joe Biden has accepted the resignation of top White House scientist Eric Lander after an internal investigation into allegations that he bullied and mistreated staff was made public. Biden accepted Lander's letter "with gratitude for his work at [the Office of Science and Technology Policy] on the pandemic, the cancer moonshot, climate change, and other priorities," according to press secretary Jen Psaki. "He knows Dr. Lander will continue to make important contributions to the scientific community in the years ahead," she told reporters Monday evening. Psaki was grilled by reporters Monday afternoon about Lander's position within the administration after...

    CENSUREY OVERLOAD — The fallout from the RNC’s weekend censure of Reps. LIZ CHENEY (R-Wyo.) and ADAM KINZINGER (R-Ill.) spread to Capitol Hill on Monday: Hill Republicans returned to town and lit into Chair RONNA MCDANIEL. Senate Republicans went on the record to say that looking back to 2020 is a losing strategy that won’t help the party flip both chambers of Congress. And they’re furious that the RNC would dub the activities of Jan. 6 “legitimate political discourse.” We’re not just talking here about an expectedMITT ROMNEY rebuke — though the Utah Republican certainly called his niece’s decision “very...

    A Republican candidate in the packed Republican Primary for Oregon Governor has been forced to admit he was a swinger after his posts on a private Facebook group were leaked ahead of the race. Stan Pulliam, who is also the mayor of his hometown of Sandy, told his local paper that he and his wife of 12 years MacKensey 'ultimately decided' that the lifestyle 'wasn't for us,' but that he is 'not ashamed' of the decisions they 'made in the privacy of [their] own home.' The 40-year-old told the Williamette Week that he and MacKensey, 'explored relationships, mutual relationships with...
