The blood isn’t even dry on the corpse of Kamala’s billion dollar presidential campaign, and the opportunists in her party are already shamelessly jockeying for power. California Governor Gavin Newsom has just called a “special legislative session,” to “Trump-proof” his state and “safeguard California values”. Naturally we’re left wondering, what
Well, inflation is up again. You’re probably not surprised, and neither are we. Over the past few months, in fact, we’ve repeated again and again that inflation will keep rising, and even identified some strange reasons why. Remember back during the early days of the pandemic when used car prices
“Wow, these guys are going to be in for a rude wakening about how much power is going to be available. . .” thought Joe Dominguez, CEO of Constellation Energy. Dominguez was one of the attendees last May at a private, invitation-only gathering of energy and tech company CEOs held
I hate to say it—and I’m sure a lot of you agree—but it’s great to see the right people so upset. The post-election histrionics have been amusing, to say the least. And a great deal of ink has already been spilled discussing the crushing defeat of the big propaganda machine.
It started with the Antonine Plague in the late 160s AD, most likely a really bad smallpox epidemic that killed 8 million people across the Roman Empire.

In fact, the advancement of human civilization would have been nearly impossible without iron—and the steel that it becomes. Metallurgy (and agriculture) are ultimately
The year was 1991. The shoulder pad fashion craze of the 1980s was finally coming to an end, and Kurt Cobain’s “grunge” look was in. The Silence of the Lambs hit the theaters and swept the Academy Awards that season (with a nice chianti and some fava beans)— Best Actor,
Apart from weathermen, no one besides government bureaucrats can be so wrong, so often, yet still keep their jobs. No one was ever fired for telling Americans that COVID lockdowns would last just “two weeks, to stop the spread” and “flatten the curve”. If we’re being generous and call that
In the aftermath of World War II, with Europe devastated and Japan in ruins after two atomic bombs, the world faced the monumental task of rebuilding the global economy. It had already been decided at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference that America and the US dollar would dominate the new
There’s a really dirty four-letter word that starts with a “C”. No, not that one. This is a word you simply cannot say around Greta Thunberg, otherwise her ears will melt off of her face. I’m talking about coal. And it’s about to have its moment. One reason is that
