STANFORD, Calif. — Leaving your electric car charging overnight to have it ready in the morning seems like a good idea in theory. But in reality, research suggests doing so does more harm in the long run. Stanford scientists say that it’s more costly to charge your electric car at night and it could stress out your local electric grid. Instead, researchers suggest drivers should switch to charging their vehicle at work or in public charging stations. Another added benefit to charging in the daytime at a public station is that it reduces greenhouse gas emissions. With the effects of...

Send in the clowns... Remember President Gerald R. Ford, and his hapless "Whip Inflation Now" campaign? Ford advocated buying cheaper stuff and consuming less in his ill-fated 1974 WIN campaign. According to Wikipedia: Suggested actions for citizens included carpooling, turning down thermostats, and starting their own vegetable gardens. "WIN" buttons immediately became objects of ridicule; skeptics wore the buttons upside down, explaining that "NIM" stood for "No Immediate Miracles," "Nonstop Inflation Merry-go-round," or "Need Immediate Money." Now inflation is back, brought on by monster government spending, and Democrats have cooked up far more dimwitted inflation"cures" than the hapless Jerry Ford....

What was judicious a few years ago is foolhardy today because the left has learned there are no consequences when they abuse the system to attack conservatives. ... Special Counsel John Durham continues to ignore the FBI’s malfeasance in the Crossfire Hurricane targeting of Donald Trump, a Friday court filing by prosecutors in the criminal case against Igor Danchenko confirms. While that approach may have been prudent and in the country’s best interests three and a half years ago, when then-Attorney General Bill Barr tasked Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia collusion hoax, it is no longer judicious....

Zelensky on CBS’s “Face the Nation” thanked Washington for the shipments of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and other...

AUSTIN, Texas – Beto O'Rourke, who is facing off against Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in November's election, said that the rightward shift of Latino voters in recent years is partly due to a disregard for the demographic by Democrats. "Candidate Biden didn't spend a dime or day in the Rio Grande Valley or really anywhere in Texas, for that matter, once we got down in the homestretch of the general election," O'Rourke told a crowd at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Saturday. "You got to be locking eyeballs with the people that you want to fight for...

STORY: Telsa, which was slapped with a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination, is counter-suing the California agency that leveled the allegations against the electric car-maker at its flagship assembly plant. The EV manufacturer alleges that the California Civil Rights Department – a state agency charged with enforcing local civil rights laws - flouted requirements that it notify Tesla first and give the firm a chance to settle. Tesla is seeking an order barring the CRD from following what the car-maker calls unlawful procedures and requiring the agency to adopt new regulations through a formal rule-making process. A spokesperson for the CRD...
