This is the story of gullible low information voters and weak-kneed automobile manufacturers who have allowed our fossil fuel energy independence to be abandoned to make a transition to renewable fuels with the fantasy of altering climate change.
During Joe Biden’s campaign, there were a number of opportunities for voters to see how he had been convinced by the radical progressives on the left that global warming and climate change needed to be priority number one.… read more

When former football star Herschel Walker, a Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia, began attacking his opponent, Raphael Warnock, as one “who only cares about making a better life for himself, not the people of Georgia,” I decided to look into it.
People talk about wanting fresh talent and term limits on those who have made millions in Congress, yet Walker is one of those GOP candidates being rapped as unelectable due to his inexperience.… read more

The saying – “the chickens have come home to roost” – with its meaning that bad things done in the past have come back to bite you in the ass – fits all too well with President Biden’s decision to forgive college loans.
In 2010, when I was living in Texas, writing op-eds published in several newspapers, I recall a critical piece I wrote when then President Obama signed legislation overhauling the student loan program.… read more
Commentary
For years, activists on the left have attempted to scare us with climate change tales that predicted the end of the world as we know it. It was so serious that we were told that we needed to sacrifice our energy independence by supplanting fossil fuels with renewable energy sources like wind and solar.… read more

A centrist friend of mine recently sent me a link to a transcript of a focus group organized to determine if individuals from the left and right could find common ground.
Organized by The New York Times and moderated by focus group veteran, Frank Luntz, the group was made up equally by Republicans and Democrats, who had one thing in common – they all shared the outlook that they were “mad as hell and not going to take this anymore,” a line from the 1976 movie, ”Network.”… read more

When I heard Greg Gutfeld refer to the Inflation Reduction Act as the Bend Over Act, I thought … well, it’s a bit crude … but at least its an honest title for the legislation. The only reduction will come in the household budgets of middle-class Americans who are already underwater.… read more

The Chevy Bolt
Those early purchasers of the Chevy Bolt, who are now experiencing a major recall relating to battery fires, are reasonably upset over General Motors’ decision to reduce its price on the EV by $6,000 in its bid to make the 2023 model more appealing.
In response, GM has extended the $6,000 deal to those purchasers of 2020-2022 models as a rebate, but, but … wait for it … they have to sign a waiver to the right to sue if they experience a thermal runaway and their garage is burned down, or some other catastrophic event takes place.… read more

EDITOR’S NOTE: I don’t for a moment want to distract you from the $433 billion President Biden wants to spend on his fantasy of combating climate change, and the tax increases, but you need to know about the little-reported investment included for the Internal Revenue Service.
While reading about the $124 billion included in the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” to increase the Internal Revenue Service’s ability to track tax cheats, I recalled writing an op-ed about the tax cheats in the federal government for a Texas weekly newspaper about 10 years ago.… read more

A glance at my stack of stuff at the corner of my computer desk tells me it’s time to share some interesting items I’ve been saving to share with you.

If the Election Were Today
I would have thought the gap would be wider, but Rasmussen Reports’ Generic Congressional Ballot at the end of the week shows that 46 percent of likely voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 41 percent would vote for the Democrat.… read more
Commentary
While watching President Biden read about his “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” from the teleprompter Thursday, referring to it as an historic agreement to fight inflation and lower costs, it occurred to me he simply has no clue what the average American is experiencing.
With obvious delight, he began by joking about the name given to the Act, saying that “Some of you will see a lot of similarities between the beginning; of the Build Back Better initiative.” … read more
