How Trump Can Win on Energy: Zero Energy Poverty

'zero', Energy, Trump, Poverty'0 comment

Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Tim Walz, will impoverish America. That’s the best way to understand one of their most important—yet least-known—policy pipe dreams. As vice president, Harris has backed so-called net zero, which means offsetting every iota of manmade greenhouse gases. Walz, as governor, has pushed one of the most aggressive net-zero policies in America, mandating no carbon emissions in Minnesota by 2040. This promise is economic suicide. Not only is it unachievable, but ramping up unreliable and costly energy sources like wind and solar while eliminating reliable and affordable options…

In an attempt to salvage his prosecution against Donald Trump, special counsel Jack Smith secured a reindictment Tuesday against the 45th president on four felony charges in his Washington, D.C., election interference case.  The case revolves around Trump’s various challenges to the 2020 election outcome, most notably his effort to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory on Jan. 6, 2021. The Washington federal grand jury’s new 36-page indictment is similar to the previous indictment in the case. However, in early July, the U.S. Supreme Court determined Trump…

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld Maryland’s ban on so-called “assault weapons” earlier this month, likely setting the stage for the next major Second Amendment showdown at the Supreme Court. The case, Bianchi v. Brown, features Maryland residents who challenge the constitutionality of a 2013 state law that generally prohibits them from buying or possessing any firearm deemed an “assault weapon.” The statute defines that term to include hundreds of specific models of semiautomatic rifles, as well as any other semiautomatic rifle that either (1) has…

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, in office for just over a year, announced Wednesday that she would resign her position amid continuing backlash over anti-Israel demonstrations on campus.

From Liberty to Tyranny: How Attacks on Checks and Balances Threaten Our Republic

from, Republic, attacks, Threaten, Liberty, checks, balances, Tyranny0 comment

One of the ways our Constitution provides for a “more perfect” union is by establishing a variety of checks and balances on federal government power. But a nation that can be “more perfect” can also become “less perfect,” and advocates for the elimination of those checks and balances are heating up the water in the proverbial pot. Frogs, pay attention. Among the least noted of these safeguards are the distinct methods by which the Founders determined legislative, executive, and judicial branch officials would come to power: House members elected by…
