Parents—not schools—should be in control of how they introduce and discuss the cultural push for radical gender ideology to their children, says Alleigh Marré, executive director of the American Parents Coalition. The American Parents Coalition focuses on education, culture, and health care through the lens of parental rights. The group gives parents tools on how…

The Left’s media narrative factory is working overtime on its latest and greatest attempt at gaslighting. OK, here it is, here’s the whopper you have to believe to be an ally of “our democracy” in good standing: President Joe Biden is fit as a fiddle, yes siree. All those videos you’ve seen of him staring…

At an event expected to be the largest of its kind in Nevada history, 15,000 military service members, veterans, and their families will be treated to world-class entertainment, millions of dollars in gifts, and an array of activities at the NFL Las Vegas Raiders’ stadium on Saturday.  With the maximum number of free tickets already…

Starting at Columbia University and spreading across elite universities, pro-Hamas protesters have taken over their campuses, erecting tent cities and blocking the normal operations of their schools. Worse, they have targeted Jewish students with threats of violence, organized human chains to push “Zionists” out of public spaces, and sent a Jewish student to the hospital after stabbing…

President Joe Biden has pledged to reduce carbon emissions to “net zero” in the U.S. electricity sector by 2035. This fantastical plan is, we are told, advancing along two tracks simultaneously. On one side is a systematic reduction of fossil fuel usage; on the other, a push to deploy renewable energy substitutes. Of course, the…

At the start of the year, President Joe Biden announced an indefinite ban on liquified natural gas exports (LNG) out of supposed concern for the environment. The U.S., however, is the leading producer of oil and natural gas and also the leading exporter of LNG. So, ironically, in pausing LNG exports in an effort to…

Hard work, passion, virtue, and true grit earmark the American heartland. Anecdotes, generation-spanning farm families, and crop innovations speak volumes. They are all children of agriculture. Farming teaches faith in God, food cultivation, animal husbandry, the value of love, the richness of relationships, and the growth of character. Farming offers time for reflection—an Aristotelian balance…

Environmental activists celebrated the closure of a key nuclear power facility in New York state, but the state’s power-sector emissions have increased in the years since the plant shuttered. State officials finally closed the Indian Point nuclear facility in 2021, a development that climate activist groups commended because of purported safety and environmental risks posed by it. However, about…

The House Energy and Commerce Committee is set to vote this week on the possible repeal of the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which hasn’t been distributed yet. That taxpayer-funded giveaway to the ailing solar industry and environmental nongovernmental organizations lacks both sufficient accountability and utility. The fund is structured to pick winners and…

President Joe Biden attacks U.S. corporations for raising prices, but a new proposed regulation from the Bureau of Land Management would make it more difficult and expensive to produce oil and gas on federal lands, raising the price of American oil and gas—and increasing inflation. That’s why Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has sponsored a bill…

“We’re building a clean energy future,” says President Joe Biden. Who is “we”? Well, you pay for it. He and his “green” cronies do most of the building. Lately, they’re pouring more of your money into “renewable energy.” They promise to give us “carbon-free power” from the sun and wind. My new video illustrates some…

An international coalition of diplomats, researchers, and thinkers gathered Tuesday in Washington, D.C., to address the “infusion of gender ideology” into domestic and foreign policy and international affairs. Attendees traveled from Hungary, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Italy, Brazil, and Canada to discuss their concerns about radical gender ideology in their own countries, including the promotion of…

Police investigated over 400 cases related to human trafficking during Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, authorities said.   Cases involved pandering, adult and minor sex trafficking, and solicitation attempts (known also as “John” arrests), Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said Tuesday during a town hall.   Las Vegas logged 12 confirmed arrests for human…

Renewables such as wind and solar are intermittent and largely unpredictable energy sources, with rapid swings in output from one minute to the next. This creates major challenges for operators of the nation’s electricity grid, because supply must equal demand, and the supply “curve” in a given area never tracks the output from intermittent renewable…

A Democrat-backed permitting reform bill unveiled in December would hand out billions in grants for eco-activist nonprofits to conduct environmental reviews on green government projects. Nonprofit organizations, localities, and Native American tribes would be able to apply for $500 million in grants each fiscal year starting in 2024 through 2029, as a part of the Clean Electricity…

In the lot of Eau Claire, Wisconsin’s, local Ford dealership, dominated by an impressive lineup of F-150 pickup trucks and SUVs, I asked the salesman, Joe, about buying an electric vehicle. It turns out that not many EVs are sold in Eau Claire. Joe told me that he typically sells about one or two electric…

On the heels of the United Nations Climate Change Conference last month in Dubai, it’s clear that nuclear energy’s role in achieving a clean energy future cannot be overlooked or understated.  At COP28, we heard from dozens of top minds in-person and from afar who echoed the same message: Transitioning to cleaner energy sources cannot…

Gaston Glock, the brilliant Austrian inventor, entrepreneur, and founder of one of the most successful firearms manufacturers in history, passed away Wednesday at 94. The cause of death was not immediatly announced. In 1963, as Europe was attempting to rebuild every aspect of its economy after the devastation of World War II, Glock founded Glock…

Is Spain facing the end of democracy, a condition that was restored less than half a century ago? It isn’t just foreigners who are constantly asking this worrisome question. We Spaniards are asking it ourselves as 2023 comes to a close. The concern stems from elections held this year and the government it produced. That…

This year’s Conference of the Parties to the U.N. climate agreements, or COP, is being held in the Emirate of Dubai, arguably the world’s most extravagant display of oil wealth. Ironies abound. The host and president of this year’s conference, Sultan Ahmed al Jaber, happens also to be the CEO of the United Arab Emirates’…
