A county in Northern Virginia has declined to hand over almost $2 million in federal COVID-19 relief to a liberal immigration activist group that calls itself a “national powerhouse.” The Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted Feb. 20 to deny the proposed reimbursement of about $1 million in federal funds to the organization, […]
Almost no one who objects to electric vehicles does so because he or she has an attachment to fossil fuels. The problem with EVs is that the most affluent segment of the population has developed an obsession with them. And this, like all obsessions, had made rational thinking impossible. Fortunately, a market economy eventually forces […]
Americans and Europeans called 1816 the “Year Without Summer.” Thanks to the eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Tambora a year earlier, global temperatures plummeted. Heavy snow fell on Albany, New York, in June. That bitterly cold 1816 — the last full year of James Madison’s presidency — was also the year that Remington, the nation’s oldest […]
When government leaders and virtue-signaling billionaires make poor decisions, they never seem to suffer consequences. Only the victims of their arrogance and greed have to pay the price. In a news release Wednesday, the Amazon-backed electric-vehicle manufacturer Rivian announced poor fourth-quarter 2023 financial results and dismal 2024 expectations, which led to a 17 percent decline […]
I had never heard of such a thing. It certainly is so juvenile a title that it had to come from this administration and, sure enough, it popped up this past summer.

Damn. I mean, you could almost have called it, even though praying for a miraculous bolt of common sense and decency to strike at the heart of the D.C. courtroom where the execrable Dr. Michael Mann was claiming Mark Steyn and Rand Simberg’s articles from decades ago had defamed him. Steyn himself seemed to acknowledge […]
As a world of Swifites prepares to track the weekend journey of pop empress Taylor Swift from Japan to Las Vegas, her attorneys are telling a college student who tracks her flights to knock it off. Swift’s Eras Tour has her in Japan, where she will perform Saturday night before jetting across the Pacific Ocean […]
John Kerry has been replaced as Joe Biden’s top climate diplomat. The onetime presidential candidate and former U.S. Secretary of State announced his decision on the X platform, adding that Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager John Podesta would replace him in the role. “We’ve made historic progress these last three years and I know that, […]
Pop star Taylor Swift joins a growing legion of hypocritical climate alarmists who gallivant around the world in gas-guzzling private jets while scolding everyone else to be environmentally conscious.
