| January 26, 2024 - 10:57 am | Frank Bergman
Democrat President Joe Biden has just canceled serval massive natural gas projects amid pressure from climate activists. On
Friday, the White House announced that pending decisions on exports of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to non-FTA countries have been halted until the Department of Energy could update the underlying analyses for authorizations. Following pressure from the climate mob, federal officials will now conduct a rigorous environmental review assessing the projects’ “carbon emissions.” The reviews, however, could take more than a year to complete. Projects involving billions of dollars will be disrupted over the move which has put over 70,000 jobs at...

~On our Q&A last Wednesday, I played Debbie Reynolds' lovely record of "Tammy" by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. By coincidence, exactly three-quarters of a century ago - January 1949 - another Livingston & Evans song was the Billboard Number One record in America, and on its way to winning an Oscar
a couple of months later. The last chart-topper of 1948 and the first of 1949 was the most successful version of a much recorded item that season - Betty Rhodes, Gene Autry, Betty Garrett, the Dinning Sisters and a bunch of others all took a crack at the...

On today's State of the Union show on CNN, host Dana Bash treated Secretary of State Antony Blinken to a softball interview regarding Biden admin failures on the attack on Israel, and the release of $6 billion to Iran. Bash began by playing a clip of National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan recently
saying: "The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades. Now, challenges remain, Iran's nuclear weapons program, tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. But the amount of time that I have to spend on crisis and conflict in the Middle East compared today to...

| 9 Jul, 2023 | Monica Showalter
Grovel, grovel, grovel -- what better for a Bidenite than to project American submission? Before
a U.S. dignitary makes an overseas visit to a vital country abroad, such a person is briefed by the State Department -- about how to properly present oneself as a representative of the United States of America to a foreign national in terms they can understand, without unintentionally giving offense or sending the wrong message. But then there's Janet Yellen, whose trip to China sent a very clear message to China, just through her body language, but presumably not the one she meant: [kowtow video...

When an Ivy League school breaks with its storied past by introducing a degree for nontraditional students, the relevance for other institutions of higher learning can’t be overlooked. In
2016, the University of Pennsylvania created such a program, leading to the B.A.A.S. (Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences). The motivation for the change, according to Dean Steven Fluharty of the School of Arts & Sciences, was the recognition that working adults and other under-served students possessed valuable knowledge and skills that might be useful in a current or future career. All that was needed was the opportunity to demonstrate the...

The Hill ^

President Biden’s statement this week that it “remains to be seen” if he’ll run for reelection has prompted more Democratic chatter about whether they’ll have a different candidate for the White House in 2024. If
Biden doesn’t run again, a number of Democrats are expected to wade into the presidential waters. But even Vice President Harris isn’t seen as a definitive leading contender in such a situation, Democrats acknowledge privately. “There’s not one clear candidate and there’s not a rising star,” said one top Democratic donor. Here’s who is generating the most talk and the most confidence.

However, amid charges of Hollywood "selling out" to China, a tiny number of actors and directors — most recently film star Keanu Reeves — have refused to...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The modern military takes on a lot of duties. There’s

Well, the Pentagon has announced a new policy that will help the U.S. military meet some of those goals: They’re now switching all weapons to swords and bows. “We have a deadly enemy out there,” announced General “Sparkles” McKenzie, “and it’s called carbon. The problem with modern-day weapons is that they take a lot of carbon to make. But if we get some nice bespoke...
