We know that electric vehicles, whose manufacture requires rare earth minerals mined by third-world children, aren't clean. We also know that electric vehicles, which get their electrical charge from coal-fired plants and emit more carbon dioxide than conventional vehicles, aren't green. We also know that electric vehicles, as recent storms and heat waves have indicated, aren't reliable Now we learn that even at $70,000 a pop, complete with tax savings and government subsidies, green vehicles aren't profitable, either.

It's been nearly one month since Elon Musk entered Twitter's San Francisco headquarters carrying a sink, and he's apparently still discovering new areas of the seven-story, 480,000 square foot office space. On Tuesday night, Musk stumbled upon quite the find in a closet at Twitter HQ and, while it's not literal skeletons, the find does help explain part of what was wrong with the ideological homogeneity of Twitter's corporate culture that favored leftists and castigated conservatives for years. In a video posted to Twiter, Musk can be heard explaining "Here we are at the merch, and there's an entire closet...

The United States military spent nearly six million man-hours on an extremism “stand-down” and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) training since President Joe Biden took office, according to Department of Defense (DOD) data.

The data showed that service members spent a total of 5,889,082 man-hours on the “stand-down” — a day when all commanders in the military spoke to their troops about extremism, and on DEI, including critical race theory. “We face...

Microsoft unveiled more than just the future of identity-proofing when its presenters opened the Microsoft Into Focus: Security video presentation with arbitrary statements about their appearance and identity. The future once looked like chrome buildings and flying cars. Now it's Big Tech megacorporations with cringeworthy PC politics. Microsoft tweeted out video footage of a massive presentation in front of a virtual audience inviting consumers to “Gain insights on how to react to security threats and prepare for the next frontier in identity proofing.” Gender and racial identity appeared to take center stage first, however. After introducing herself by name, Product...

Gay Pride Month may have ended in June but Disney’s push to indoctrinate your children with LGBT propaganda has just begun. It’s new movie, Jungle Cruise, features a scene in which the actor Jack Whitehall’s character comes out as gay. During an interview Whitehall told reporters that he is “proud” and hopes that this scene means a lot to the “LGBTQ kids.” In 2019 Disney placed one of its “first” openly gay characters into a children's television show called Andi Mack. It has been a downward spiral since then with seven different films featuring LGBT characters in the past two...

Former Green Bay Packers star Brett Favre is blasting the left-wing path taken by the major sports leagues in the U.S. Speaking on Eric Bolling’s April 13 podcast, Favre said that he thinks both liberal and conservative fans want sports to get back to being about sports. “I think both sides, for the most part, want to see it just remain about the sport, not about politics,” Favre said. “At least that’s my interpretation. I know when I turn on a game, I want to watch the game. I want to watch the players play, and teams win and lose...

For your edification, I would like to present you with a partial list of things that have been deemed racist and/or white supremacist (the two terms are often interchangeable) in the last few years. The list is growing daily, so this column can only be incomplete. This list is only presented as a public service, so it's up to you – as a proper woke American – to avoid all the things, terms, people, subjects, foods, books, pets, diseases, locations, beverages, fashions and activities that might offend someone because of your white supremacy and privilege (even if you're not white)....

Country music superstar Chris Stapleton says America has a “lot of work to do” on combatting racism and police brutality, describing the Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd as a “broad awakening” for the entire country. “You know, I thought we were living in a different country. And that’s 100 percent real. I feel like the country that I thought we were living in was a myth,” Stapleton said in an interview on CBS’s This Morning, when asked about whether he believes Black Lives Matter. “Do I think Black lives matter? Absolutely … I don’t know...
