Checking my archives, in the past eight years I have written about the death of journalism 18 times, citing evidence of such mainly in the so-called mainstream media – The New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC.

Sure, 81 million people voted for Joe Biden in 2020, even though he promised to end our dependence on fossil fuels, but how many of those voters actually believed he would follow through and take us on a ruinous path on his first day in office.
With a stroke of his pen, he took away our pride in being energy independent and set us on a course to transition our energy needs to wind and solar, but it is a cadre of unelected green environmentalists who are controlling the agenda.… read more
