It might be impossible to determine how long the supposedly “elite” publishing world has been run by people with agendas, particularly postmodernist left-wing ones.
In 2015, I declined a mid-range horror publisher’s proffered contract because someone from the company emailed to ask me when I was going to split my “political presence” from my “fiction presence” on social media by using a new name…
If one were to create a Venn Diagram of A) those who suspect that “Energy Secretary” Jennifer Granholm’s Cheshire Cat grins hide an avaricious thirst to ban more than gas stoves and to impede American consumers and suppliers from getting cheaper petrochemical energy, and, B) those who recall the decade-old federal threat to “regulate” out of existence the incandescent light bulb, the two…
As with many political moves, S. 686, aka the “RESTRICT” Act term is an acronym. It stands for “Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology” – and behind its veil of “protection,” within its behemoth text, one can find a literal threat, coming from U.S. politicians.
The key portion is Section Three, and analysis of those lines reveals…
There appears to have been something prophetic about last week’s report on Senator James Lankford (R-OK) confronting Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen over the new “Bank Term Funding Program” (BTFP) that the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and government-created Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) recently formed to “fully cover” – i.e. bail out – certain banks.
As we noted, Senator Lankford…
U.S. District Court Judge Kato Crews could not have looked worse when he was summarily embarrassed by Republican Sen. John Kennedy during a confirmation hearing last week, where Crews tried - and utterly failed - to answer one of the most basic questions a sitting judge could possibly be handed.
But as cringeworthy as that moment was for both Crews and anyone watching, he might not have…
Two weeks ago, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) observed that President Biden’s newly proposed $6.9 trillion 2024 budget was so disastrous, it took his “breath away.” But many Americans might be happy that he got his breath back. Last week, the Senator used his breath, knowledge of reality, and wit, to put one of Biden’s leftist faves on the spot, and to allow the world to see the emptiness of his…
The contrast between how government thugs and how freedom-realists view the meanings of many words can be striking – and educational. Government agents tend to use soft words as cyphers for aggressive actions -- akin to how a shark might claim to be smiling as he approaches you, but you know he’s bearing his teeth in preparation for a deadly bite.
And few government “officials” epitomize this…
Former “Chair” of the Federal Reserve and current Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen spoke to a gathering of the American Banker’s Association Wednesday, and might have inspired listeners to marvel not only at her acrobatic ability to skirt the roots of economic reality but to stagger at her revisions of previous statements that aren’t even one week old.
Most of all, her continuing presence…
A new week sees a massive new revelation about government-tied, left-leaning, drives to censor scores of Twitter users. As it did last week -- when we learned that government bureaucrats paid Microsoft-tied NewsGuard to suppress the reach of conservative news and organizations including MRCTV – this explosive info comes to us thanks to the hard work of independent journalist Matt Taibbi.…
At a time when most American homeowners face terrible heating and electricity bills (in some cases, they have risen to TRIPLE the normal costs), the Biden Administration appears determined to echo and amplify Barack Obama’s 2008 threat that he and his anti-coal, anti-oil, anti-natural gas Climate Cult cabal would make sure energy from coal plants would be a dimmer and dimmer prospect.
In fact,…
