There were a couple of golf games … a visiting son … my wife’s birthday … and an outpatient procedure, but all the while, I stashed material I wanted to share with you in my “stack of stuff.”
Before I get into that, however, you need to know my selection for March Fool’s Day honors. … read more

Driving a golf cart to the parking lot to transfer clubs to our cars recently, I noticed that my golfing cart partner had a new car, a beautiful cherry-red Lexus SUV. He shared that while he and his wife decided to downsize, needing only one car, he couldn’t bring himself to go electric.… read more

As a political news wonk, I look forward to each State of the Union address in search of a memorable line or two that Americans can hang their hat on.
The day and morning before the address, news anchors repeatedly ask their guests what they think the president will say, and what he should say. … read more

Sure, you’ve heard that phrase before. So have I.
While researching its origins, I found this appropriate meaning for its usage:
“If you describe someone as whistling in the wind, you mean they are trying unsuccessfully to change something which cannot be changed.”
It’s appropriate because it applies to the effort to have us believe that wind power is capable of supplying us with a reasonable generation of electricity cheaper than fossil fuels.… read more

If anybody told me that I would one day be quoting Jane Fonda in my blog, I would have said they were ready for the looney bin, but her latest rant was just too good to pass up.
Fonda, now 85, made news this week when she blamed the climate crisis on racism during an appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”… read more

I had decided I wasn’t going to comment on the Word Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, appropriately referred to as “the regular smug gathering of our intellectual superiors and social betters” by Brad Slager in Red State, but the material was so goofy I just couldn’t resist.
The participants include some 600 world leaders, corporate bigwigs and professional thinkers, who gather to tell us how we should live our lives. … read more

I recently wrote of a new talking point emanating from the left in which the new House majority would be accused of spending all of its time on investigations.
One involving Hunter Biden and his White House access-peddling and another seeking the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his failure to secure our southern border. … read more

I borrowed the headline for this post from a fellow blogger, Francis Menton, who stays atop the global energy system better than anyone in his blog, Manhattan Contrarian. Regular readers may recall that I quote him frequently.
Like me, I believe many of you are concerned with the Biden administration’s fantasy agenda of transforming our nation, and the world, off fossil fuels in favor of renewables wind and solar.… read more
Commentary
Regular readers will recall my quoting the campaigning Joe Biden’s pledge to end our dependence on fossil fuels, and later President Biden’s executive order to end our energy independence and his costly legislation to transform the nation into a dependence on energy from wind and solar.
As I have previously written, I don’t think most of those who voted for Biden actually believed he would be able to follow through with his pledge, but here we are today, in an untenable position.… read more

The Cavalry has arrived. That’s you, the remainder of voters who will post the colors and conclude our voting in person, which, incidentally, is the way all of our voting should take place across the nation – on Election Day.
We’ve heard it before – the stakes couldn’t be higher. … read more
