How do you get freedom-loving cities and towns wanting nothing to do with communism to adopt collectivist policies and turn their community into surveillance states that take away their individual rights? Through deception. ‘Resilience’ Is Being Used as the Pretext for a Global Agenda  The Federal Plan for Equitable Long-Term Recovery and Resilience (a.k.a. ELTRR or “The Federal Plan”) is...

nico_blue/iStock/Getty Images Plus The “follow-the-science” Biden administration is now using “Indigenous Knowledge” — a vague term encompassing virtually anything a Native American may believe — in its scientific assessments. One of President Joe Biden’s earliest acts was to elevate the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to Cabinet level, supposedly to “help restore faith in America’s place...

Sam LaRussa/Unsplash Three highly regarded climate scientists, now retired and thus beyond the reach of the “climate change consensus” that would otherwise work to discredit them, are calling a new rule from the EPA “disastrous for the country, for no scientifically justifiable reason.” In May, the EPA finalized its rule limiting CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants that, if not...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has raised eyebrows as the first right-sympathetic populist to run as a Democrat since William Jennings Bryan.

The Biden administration has announced stringent new rules to reduce the use of coolants used in most air conditioning units and other appliances in the name of fighting climate change, with experts warning it will likely mean Americans will have to pay more to stay cool. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this week issued a final rule to slash the...

AP Images Portions of an email exchange involving Joe Goffman, principal deputy assistant administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other EPA staffers including Dan Utech, the EPA’s chief of staff, appear to show that President Biden is again considering declaring a climate emergency for the United States.

The United Auto Workers (UAW), a labor union and major Democrat backer, has slammed the Biden administration for giving billions of dollars in funding for boosting electric vehicle (EV) production while traditional autoworkers would lose their jobs or be paid lower wages. “The federal government announced a massive $9.2 billion giveaway loan to Ford Motor Co. through the Department of...

A bill from House Republicans is targeting the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to issue Clean Air Act waivers for California that could lead to major restrictions or even bans on gas-powered vehicles. Those waivers are a live issue. Last month, the California Air Resources Board asked the Biden administration for one so it can ban the sale of new internal...

My previous piece for The American Conservative concerned the mayhem postwar “urban renewal” wrought in Washington, D.C.’s southwest quadrant.. A conspicuous feature of that mayhem is the Robert C. Weaver Department of Housing and Urban Development building designed by onetime Bauhaus luminary Marcel Breuer. Commissioned by Uncle Sam’s real estate developer and landlord, the General Services Administration (GSA), and completed...

Commentary I don’t know when the debt ceiling will be raised, but it will be raised. Every time federal spending bumps up against the debt ceiling, we witness the same drama, a drama so predictable that you could almost call it a ritual: Republicans, citing a need for fiscal restraint, demand some cuts to federal spending; Democrats resist the proposed...

There’s an old cliché: The truth always finds you out. But this is a lesson that governments never learn, especially when they have a corrupt media to cover for their lies. We see this on issue after issue, but nowhere has the government-media collusion been stronger than on the deliberate poisoning of American drinking water. The final report of a...

The Biden administration has implemented multiple policies that have harmed America’s domestic energy production and weakened the country’s standing internationally leading to gas shortages and the highest-ever prices in the nation’s history. “President Biden and the Democrats in Congress have a plan for American energy: make it harder to produce and more expensive to purchase. Since Mr. Biden took office,...
