Do The Greens Really Want to Solve the Nation’s Energy Problems?

The upheaval in the Mideast has brought gasoline prices front and center once again.  Traders are building a risk factor into forward purchase contracts and gasoline prices per gallon now hover around $4 a gallon with no end in sight.

Recent events have conspired to seriously complicate the search for safe alternative energy sources. The horrific [...]

Japan Fallout Here: The Folly of Obama’s Pushin’ O’ the Green

Although usual suspects are now saying that the chain of events leading to Japan’s nuclear crisis is simply proof that we need to now rule out the last energy source that works, in terms of providing the necessary, base-load power required to run a modern society, it actually proves the opposite. With nuclear for all [...]

A Teachable Moment: How Obama Would Solve the NFL Labor Crisis

Some are now suggesting that President Obama get involved in the NFL strike talks. I was his college classmate at Columbia University and have studied his political career for years. My record of predicting where Obama will come down on the side of an issue and what lie he will tell to rationalize his [...]

Obama’s Presser and Gas Prices: Which Time Were the Left Lying?

It may just be wishful thinking but Politico’s ‘Morning Energy’ today was dropping heavy hints they expected President Obama to use this morning’s presser to defend against any culpability of his policies in ’skyrocketing’ gas prices.

Yeah, any such connection between Obama policies and energy prices is a pretty hard case to make, what with the [...]

Mike Huckabee: I’m Fine with Bloated, Overweight Government

When former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee ran for President in 2008, he did so in the guise of a conservative. But those of us who listened closely to his speeches heard a message that was far from compatible with the ideals of limited government and expanded liberty: two benchmarks of conservatism by any measure. Instead [...]

California GOP : Walking Zombies

Our last Republican to hold statewide office was Governor Pete Wilson who left the office in 1999. I’m not counting the last, failed action-star who just left the office and was about as Republican as Nancy Pelosi. Schwarzenegger supported both Cap and Trade, and Obamacare. The Republican brand has died in California. Many folks have [...]

Judge Halts Implementation of California Cap and Tax

Thanks to Ronald Reagan’s legacy and a legal miscalculation by leftist environmentalists, this week a California judge stopped the implementation of California’s Cap and Trade law: better known as Cap and Tax. This is the same type of carbon trading that Al Gore has hawked for years, but failed to get through the most radical [...]

White Political Ralliers Call for Lynching of Black Justice (Sorry MSM, No Tea in this Blend)

I recently took a two-day trip down to Palm Springs to attend an event called “Uncloaking the Kochs” hosted by Common Cause. Accompanied by my dear friend, former assembly candidate Alvaro Day, I traveled as an independent investigative journalist, and not in any official capacity on behalf of Big Government or Breitbart.com (though I was [...]

Who Needs Congress: Legislation by Regulatory Fiat

Fashioning good legislative policy (so that laws that we enact garner maximum respect from the public) requires, as we have seen from its absence in the prior Congress, patience and compromise.  A party with electoral control over both chambers of Congress and the presidency can probably pass a bill into law, but you rarely can [...]

Invoking Giffords, Kerry Touts Windmills, Reveals Greens’ Confusion

I just had forwarded to me an email written by ThirdWay.org calling for more federal intervention in the energy markets, further supporting politically deigned winners from the pool of losers that must petition for aid in order to exist. Which of course doesn’t read all that differently than the old, First Way (post-FDR, that is). [...]

The EPA’s Backdoor Cap and Trade Policy’s Obvious Impact

This week, National Journal asked a rather interesting question this that implied it head has been fully tucked in the sand when it comes to recognizing the long term implications of Obama’s environmental policy.

As the EPA readies itself to enforce a handful of rules limiting carbon emissions – a backdoor Cap and Trade policy known [...]

2010: The Year of the Tea Party

The Hill has a month-by-month recap of 2010:

The grassroots conservative political movement made its clout felt the entire year, from the healthcare reform debate to GOP primaries and the general election last month.
Senior Democrats, ranging from Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine to Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen (Md.), aggressively attacked the [...]

How to Cultivate a Food Crisis

President Obama says that he wishes to increase employment, double U.S. exports, and end the recession. But ihis regulatory apparatchiks haven’t gotten the memo.

New EPA Rules Will Cost American Jobs

A newly released economic impact study finds that the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Tailoring Rule” – a back-door Cap-and-Trade style regulation scheme that limits the greenhouse gases industries can emit – jeopardizes over 130 renewable energy projects, between 11,000 and 26,000 green jobs, and $18 billion in capital investment across the country.

Worse, that is just the [...]

‘Takeaways’ from the Global Warming Industry

Enron, joined by BP, invented the global warming industry. I know because I was in the room. This was during my storied three-week or so stint as Director of Federal Government Relations for Enron in the Spring of 1997, back when Enron was everyone’s darling in Washington. It proved to be an eye-opening experience that [...]

UN Climate Summit, Cancun, Mexico: Climate Conmen Sending You Back 100 Years

Last week I was down in Cancun, Mexico reporting on the U.N. Climate Change Summit (officially called COP16/CMP6) with Americans for Prosperity and Andrew Breitbart. It was several days of sun, surf, and U.N. conmen. I am back in the saddle here at home, traveling from the warm white sands of Cancun back to the [...]

Why Power Belongs to the People, and Not to the Federal Government

With the dust largely settled from the November 2010 elections, it is resoundingly clear that the majority of Americans are fed up with a government that has grown drunk on its own power and fat on their tax dollars. Tired of waiting for those in office to do the right thing, they took action and chose a different kind [...]

EPA Turns 40

This week the EPA celebrates its 40th birthday. In honor of the occasion, they’ve launched a dedicated website called EPA@40, and it’s head, Lisa Jackson, will take off on a week-long party circuit designed to “highlight the impact of [the EPA's] efforts to clean up the air Americans breathe and the water they drink and [...]

Left’s Pressure on Pelosi Triggers Potential ‘Clashes’ with Obama

The Democrats just don’t get America and the clear message that voter’s sent via a GOP firebomb at DC in the mid-terms.  So what’s the rationalization du jour?  The Hill reports that influential  liberals progressives in Congress are putting pressure on Pelosi causing clashes with Obama.  However, when you dissect the article and what the Democrats are [...]

Will the GOP Break Its Word on Term Limits for Committee Chairmen?

When it comes to defining the meaning of the Republican victory last Tuesday, Marco Rubio got it exactly right: “This is our second chance.” Just four years ago, Republicans were turned out of the majority because they had forgotten the spirit of 1994 that brought them there — succumbing to corruption scandals and accepting runaway [...]

What We Learned on November 2nd

Blessedly, the cacophony of political attack ads on every television station is over.  Democrats and Republicans will all agree that the peace and quiet is welcome.  As to the result, we all know the numbers:  The GOP takes over the House; the Democrats hold the Senate.  Most major highly watched races went to the Republicans, [...]

Left’s Turn on Global Warming: Now That You’ve Won, Time to Surrender

As some may recall, the filibuster-proof Senate did not move on cap-and-trade. In the past four years of Senate control, they did not try to ratify the US-signed, never unsigned Kyoto Protocol. Even after the filibuster-proof majority was lost by just a vote, the Senate failed to lift a finger to consider cap-n-trade. There just [...]

Which Way Now, America?

There’s much good news from the elections, but first let me wet blanket some of the fires of enthusiasm. Republican majority or Democrat, it remains the case that so long as the Dept of Health and Human Services, the EPA, the Federal Reserve, and the like still exist the Federal government will continue to do [...]

Exposing Institutional Left’s Astroturf Attack On Charles Koch

While falsely portraying it as a David versus Goliath event, the Institutional Left has been caught in an orchestrated effort to attack Charles Koch, while creating a public relations event around California’s ballot initiaitve, Prop 23. Koch openly supports the cause of Liberty and we know how much today’s left hates that. Not only that, sources [...]
