Climate protesters decided to shut down a road leading to Burning Man Festival in Nevada. It turns out that the location they chose was on the Paiute Tribe’s Reservation. Out West it is sometimes difficult to know when you are on tribal lands. The result for the protesters was a far cry from what they expected.
Ralph Norman (R-SC-5), a member of the US House of Representatives, is one of the 15 House members that are trying to help to make the government more accountable to the people. Norman, along with 14 other Republican “rebels” forced changes in the procedures governing how the House operates. Hopefully this will move us away from the era of omnibus bills that are thousands of pages long that no one can adequately review before such behemoths come up for a vote.
This is the method the elite politicians use to push through legislation through that winds up lining the pockets of the legislators’ families.
I have more questions that our “beloved” leaders need to answer.
When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the equivalent to dirty coal? How did natural gas that that helped create American energy self-sufficiency, that reduced pollution, and that provided inexpensive electricity become a pariah fuel whose extraction is a war against nature? Which votes of the people declared natural gas development and pipelines to be criminal? Which lawmakers decided to impoverish people by outlawing the use of natural gas?
There has been much discussion recently about the Supreme Court decision to bar discrimination in college admissions based on the color of one’s skin. Some of the far left have said it is the end of minorities (think black and brown) being admitted to the college of their choice.
How racist is that idea? Blacks and Hispanics cannot compete with whites and Asians without government help according to these people.
Dr. Tom Woods has published a piece about racial quotas in medical schools. Actions like that of Dr. Wang indicate that the pendulum is swinging back.
Yes, I know we’re a “litigious society,” as they say, but it still makes me happy when a good guy sues bad guys who never expected to have to pay for their wrongdoing.
The good guy in question is Dr. Norman Wang, who until 2020 had been a mild-mannered academic who had attracted no controversy of any kind. A cardiologist, Dr. Wang was a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and director of the fellowship program in clinical cardiac electrophysiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. ...
The Democratic Party was inaugurated by Thomas Jefferson and at its birth was firmly opposed to a strong, central government. Jefferson’s philosophy was based on the fundamental belief that the people are capable of self-government. Jefferson championed states’ rights and strict constitutional interpretation.
It is often helpful to examine recent history. Sometimes, as time moves forward, we forget the deceptions that were foisted on us. Dr. Tom Woods has taken a quick look back at a couple of the more egregious lies that were perpetrated on the American public.
One of the things that conservatives are sometimes faced with is how to respond to a question that is designed to back them into a corner or to allow them to be trolled. This post is written to provide some thoughts on how to handle such questions.
Thoughts that run through the empty caverns of my mind.
Mitch McConnell has been absent for an extended time from the Washington scene. Everyone has heard how he fell at a dinner and experienced a concussion. Hospitalization followed with a stint at a rehab facility. Was all of this an accident? Or was McConnell taken off the chess board because he wouldn’t play nice?
