Europe’s Skyrocketing Energy Prices Cause Industries to Close
"Over the past 20 years, Europe closed its coal plants to embrace wind turbines.
"Over the past 20 years, Europe closed its coal plants to embrace wind turbines.
But, that back-fired in 2021 when wind energy decreased resulting in less generation from the continent’s wind turbines. 
With fewer coal plants to fall back on, Europe turned to generating electricity from natural gas, causing natural gas prices to skyrocket and forcing Europe into a greater reliance on Russian natural gas.
- The result was manufacturing and fertilizer plants were forced to close, some power suppliers went out of business, carbon dioxide emissions increased, and about 80 million Europeans are now living in energy poverty—up from 50 million in 2019.
The European energy crisis shows what chaos can erupt when supply diversity in the electric sector is tampered with, and when governments start picking political winners and losers aggressively...Read all.

How ‘Science’ Went Woke
“Believe in science.”
You’ve probably seen that common—and silly—trope on left-wing political lawn signs. But what does it mean?
Science is a method, a tool, but those lawn signs seem to be calling for something else.
The statement instead most likely signifies that one believes in the politically compromised science of institutions promoting ideological outcomes.

Science is a method, a tool, but those lawn signs seem to be calling for something else.
The statement instead most likely signifies that one believes in the politically compromised science of institutions promoting ideological outcomes.
- It means believing in the American Medical Association, which now wants to drop the notation of sex from birth certificates without any medical justification.
- It means trusting in health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when they call “racism” a public health threat, worthy of suspending COVID-19 precautions for the sake of pro-social justice and Black Lives Matter protests, but for nothing else.

Victor Davis Hanson: Who Are the Real Insurrectionists? | The Patriot Post
- Stone-cold sober elites are systematically waging a revolution in the shadows that seeks to dismantle our institutions and rule of law.
- After all, who is trying to federalize election laws in national elections contrary to the spirit of the Constitution?
- Who wishes to repeal or circumvent the Electoral College?
- Who wishes to destroy the more than 180-year-old Senate filibuster, the over 150-year-old nine-justice Supreme Court, and the more than 60-year-old, 50-state union?
- Who is attacking the founding constitutional idea of two senators per state?
- The Constitution also clearly states that “When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside.” Who slammed through the impeachment of former president Donald Trump without a presiding chief justice?
- Never had a president been either impeached twice or tried in the Senate as a private citizen. Who did both?
- The Left further broke prior precedent by impeaching Trump without a special counsel’s report, formal hearings, witnesses, and cross-examinations....Read all!

After FDA says it can release COVID-19 vaccine data by 2097, federal judge orders all info to be shared this year - TheBlaze:
"No person should ever be coerced to engage in an unwanted medical procedure," he added. "And while it is bad enough the government violated this basic liberty right by mandating the Covid-19 vaccine, the government also wanted to hide the data by waiting to fully produce what it relied upon to license this product until almost every American alive today is dead. That form of governance is destructive to liberty and antithetical to the openness required in a democratic society."
