Critics say that New York Democrats' effort to punish the companies powering their cities will backfire on consumers.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) ratified climate alarmist legislation Thursday that will have the state confiscate billions of dollars from American oil, gas, and coal companies as reparations for bad weather.
Critics have suggested the law will likely face legal challenges and adversely impact consumers in the meantime.

The good, the bad and the ugly at the end of Michigan’s Democratic trifecta And a bit of hope for 2025
As two years of full Democratic control of the Michigan Legislature come to an end, we can now look back on what the party accomplished. - Jarrett Skorup 
The list includes:
- Hiking the income tax. Michigan became the only state in the country to increase income tax rates in recent years.
- Repealing the state’s right-to-work law. This is a $1,000-per-year hike on what workers in unionized firms are forced to pay.
- Higher energy costs that amount to $200 billion in total and hundreds of dollars per month to Michigan families, for increasingly bad service.
- Over the past two years, Democrats (and a few Republicans) also voted for more than $4 billion in corporate welfare...
When democrats rule!-----California Electricity Rates are the Highest in the Contiguous US (and Still Going Up)
The rates in California are about double the average in the rest of the country and are still going up. - John Sexton 
- California is run solely by Democrats and the Public Utilities Commission has been totally on board with raising rates, six times this year.
Pacific Gas and Electric on Dec. 19 received its fifth and sixth approvals for rate increases for customers in 2024.
The California Public Utilities Commission’s decision to green-light the rate hikes — slated to hit customers’ bills next year — marked a record-breaking number of increases in what has been a record-breaking year for PG&E.
According to regulators, average PG&E bills swelled 56% over the last three years...

Judge blocks Biden admin from selling Trump's border wall materials in final days | Blaze Media:
Additionally, the judge ruled that the Biden administration must turn over documentation to Texas proving that it did not violate the court's injunction. If it is found that the administration breached the order, it "would constitute unethical and sanctionable conduct, and the responsible parties could be held in contempt of court," Paxton's office explained.
Paxton stated, "We have successfully blocked the Biden administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office."

Liberals say they want ‘livable’ cities, but their policies produce high taxes, crime and chaos. - Allysia Finley 
- New York is the backdrop for famous holiday films such as “Miracle on 34th Street,” “Home Alone 2” and “Elf.” This year came a less felicitous kind when a video appeared of a woman burning to death on the subway while the man who lit her on fire fanned the flames. It was a nightmare before Christmas...
- Crime on public transit isn’t isolated to the Big Apple. It seems to be an epidemic in big Democrat-controlled cities like Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Thanks to declining ridership—owing also to remote work and population flight—mass transit systems across America are bleeding red ink. New York’s subway ridership was a third lower last year than in 2019...
But their high taxes, crime and chaos have become unbearable...
The Ghost of President Past: Joe Biden and 'A Christmas Carol'
The Ghost of President Past: Joe Biden and 'A Christmas Carol':
Undone by his own party, kicked off the ticket in favor his vice president, his remains stored in the White House; he is left utterly alone. During the presidential campaign, his ghost was allowed out — reluctantly, restrained by the chains of corruption and graft he forged in life — to speak insensibly about the threats of a Trump victory, but never about Harris’ virtues.
Even a ghost can’t conjure what doesn’t exist.

Many leftist politicians happily trumpeted BLM's call to "defund the police." In October 2021, the Republican National Committee released a nearly seven-minute video of various big-name Democrats — including Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and Reps. Nancy Pelosi of California, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — embracing the "defund the police" sentiment.
