President Biden strayed from his administration’s narrative during his recent State of the Union address, saying, “We’re going to need oil for at least another decade. … And beyond that.” Many of his “Keep It In the Ground” supporters scoffed at the unscripted remarks. But it was actually a massive understatement. [Read more...]
"Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940. In every occupied town, Nazi soldiers put up posters that demanded citizens surrender their firearms within 24 hours or else be shot. Despite the consequences, many French citizens refused to comply with the order. In ‘GUN CONTROL IN NAZI OCCUPIED FRANCE; TYRANNY AND RESISTANCE’, author Stephen P. Halbrook tells this story of Nazi repression and the brave French citizens who refused to surrender to it.” [Read more...]

1. July 28, 2021. In explosive comments today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told reporters that President Biden DOES NOT have the authority to cancel student loan debt. “People think that the President of the United States has the power of debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone, he can delay, but he does not have that power.” Pelosi argued that student loan forgiveness can only be accomplished through “an act of Congress.” (source: Forbes magazine ) [Read more...]

These are the three biggest myths of the “energy transition” narrative. [Read more...]

While spending time in Western Kentucky due to recent weather events, we were lucky to once again watch one of my favorite movies, the 1960 version of “The Magnificent Seven”. Most of you have probably seen it too.
In the movie, “Caldera”, (Eli Wallach) the leader of a band of thugs, regularly leads his band of outlaws into a small Mexican town to take most, but not all, of the provisions of the town inhabitants, a group of cowardly farmers and shop owners.
Eventually, town representatives hire a group of seven American ‘good guys’ to lead the town in their fight against Caldera and his thugs. [Read more...]

Here Americans who think it’s a good idea to ban oil and natural gas development and quickly transition to 100 percent renewables should tune into an energy reality show that will be airing in the form of cautionary news reports from across the pond all winter long. Europe has rejected energy reality and embraced energy insanity. The result is an energy nightmare of its own choosing. [Read more...]

I am heartened by the recent efforts of parents in White County to push back on the Carmi-White Co. school board’s actions in mandating masks which usurp parental control of their children’s health choices. It is a difficult position to be caught between parental rights and a Governor that keeps throwing his weight around like a school yard bully. There are currently 51 school districts in the state that have chosen to stand up to the bully and take on the fight. The Carmi-White Co. school board is not one of them, instead they have given in to the bully, but the children pay the price. The board has chosen not to challenge the Governor’s mask mandate for fear of retaliation or loss of funds. [Read more...]
