  • Affordable, reliable, clean scorecard: Natural gas tops, wind, solar worst

    Natural gas is easily the lowest-cost electrical power source, with coal the second-most affordable. Natural gas also scores very high for reliable high-volume power production, as do nuclear and coal. Despite claims that wind and solar are less expensive than conventional power, the opposite is true.
  • The Democratic Party: Looking for a brand to call its own
    These days, a lot of Democrats are feeling like Will Rogers, who said on the eve of the Great Depression, “I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.”
  • You bet your life
    If you haven’t taken and understood an advanced course in probability and statistics, you can’t begin to understand how bad the odds are for the individual bettor. And the individual bettor is often the one who is the most desperate player.
  • Parents’ rights are making a comeback
    The right to opt out one’s children from studying a sinister collection of sexually explicit storybooks in suburban Maryland, and the right to opt in to a Catholic Virtual charter school in Oklahoma, will be considered this month at the Supreme Court.
  • DNI releases secret Biden plan raising serious civil liberties concerns
    The declassified Plan raises serious civil liberties concerns. It obliterates the line between legitimate security threats and constitutionally protected speech and behavior and casts a dangerously wide net. The revelations show how far the Biden administration was willing to go to silence opposing political views.
  • Earth Day 2025: Their power, their planet, their propaganda
    The claim that renewable power is “cheap” is propaganda; if renewable electricity is so cheap, why does it need massive subsidies and guaranteed market shares and all the rest? The answer is obvious: Renewable power is not cheap.
  • Another thing folks like about the South: Public education's revival
    Mid-City is emblematic of the surprising public school revival in a handful of mostly southern states, with Louisiana and Mississippi leading the way. Over more than a decade, these two states have skyrocketed from the very bottom to near the top in the rankings of the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
  • On the Moraine Part VIII
    This tractor is what I learned to drive – in the third grade. This tractor was also responsible for my interest in mechanical things, ultimately leading to my mechanical engineering education at the University of Cincinnati.  
  • A sermon on John 20:19-31
    Jesus welcomes you to celebrate Easter with Him in His house. Don't go alone. Bring a guest. All are welcome.
  • America’s next war begins at home
    A catastrophic VT attack is still hypothetical, but its precursors are all too real. During Russia’s three-year war in Ukraine, we’ve witnessed repeated cyberattacks on civilian energy infrastructure, often coordinated with missile strikes to maximize impact on the Ukrainian populace. Here at home, the Colonial Pipeline cyber-attack of 2021 provided a tiny preview of what VT could look like.
  • Dems’ Biden problem: They broke him, they bought him
    It takes a special level of chutzpah as the man most responsible for reelecting Donald Trump to decide it’s your voice that is missing in this moment. The country would be better served if he rode off into the sunset. And if Biden does continue to make speeches, it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that it was Republicans who were footing the bill.
  • Dissenting opinion of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito
    Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law. The Supreme Court acted “literally in the middle of the night” and without sufficient explanation in blocking the Trump administration from deporting any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th-century wartime law.
  • 2,304 seeds
    Perhaps there is a song here. I can almost hear it in the back of my mind, 2,304 seeds, but song or not, I do know, is that there is a story.
  • If Democrats have their way, we will see largest tax increase in history
    The Trump tax cuts Republicans passed in 2017 are set to expire this December. Unless Congress intervenes, the average American will see a 22% increase in their taxes. For the average family of four, that means a $1,700 hike, and a Child Tax Credit that’s slashed in half for 40 million households.
  • The Pope of Mercy
    The Pope passed away suddenly on Easter Monday morning, after giving his final Urbi et Orbi blessing on Easter Day from the central Loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica, following his last round through the crowd to bless and greet them.
  • Poll: 7 in 10 Americans to celebrate Easter this year
