When it comes to electric vehicles, there is something about energy production that people who think this is all a good idea need to contemplate for a minute: electric energy production is in the hands of the State. And I mean it’s in the hands of the State from the get-go, right out the gate. […]

Author’s Note: Late Spring and then early Fall I sent Gavin Newsom, thegovernor of California, letters, the second one much much more caustic than the first, regarding his incompetence.

    Sixty-one percent of the U.S. population lives in states where federal appeals courts have recognized a First Amendment right to record police officers performing their official duties in public. The U.S. Supreme Court has not ruled on the issue. As a result, legal protections are fully secure only in those jurisdictions where federal

As the Republican-called witness at a recent hearing, I was denounced by the Democrats for denying a fossil-fueled “climate crisis” that, as their witnesses testified, results in violence against women, asthma and obesity in children, and deadly storms. But few actually questioned me. After all, “the debate is over.” So instead, the latest belle of

  There is threat recently unleashed on the public that may change our lives forever. Under the guise of saving the planet a group of control-freaks have devised a way to control everything in our lives.

    First, a disclaimer: I am not a climate scientist. In fact, I am not a scientist of any kind. But I do have a degree in electrical engineering, which I mention only to point out that I am at least as qualified as the next non-scientist to form rational opinions about global warming
