Regarding Energy, the Left Wants Us to Live Smaller Lives. Americans Don’t Do That.
A few years ago, my wife and I bought a new washer and dryer. - Gary Abernathy - The Empowerment Alliance
We were convinced by the salesperson to buy a set that promised
- energy efficiency for the dryer
- and, for the washer,
- better cleaning
- using less water.
You know what happened.
In the name of “efficiency,” our clothes, towels, blankets and other items came out barely damp and far from clean...
That’s why most Americans from coast to coast are likely celebrating the announcement from the U.S. Department of Energy last week that it intends to “permanently end home appliance and equipment mandates that raise costs and disrupt consumer choice,” according to a press release.
- “In America, you should be able to choose a dryer that dries clothes on the first try rather than one that takes multiple cycles – unfortunately, past administrations thought otherwise,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said...
- The answer is not to make our lives smaller.
- Americans have never thrived by embracing such a philosophy.
- Instead, the solution is to make the most of the resources at our disposal.
- Dream big.
- Overcome challenges...

I did want to pass along a take on that very large, steaming turd of a “study” laid down by CNBC, which claimed that Tennessee and Texas are the two worst states in America to live. - Scott McKayThe study itself is a big, fat nothing.
- It claims that Tennessee is the worst state in America to live, followed by Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, and Georgia to round out the bottom five.
- What are the top five states? Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Connecticut.
Here’s what CNBC’s article on the 10 worst states to live had to say about Tennessee…

California declares war on private property with anti-gun-rights bill | Blaze Media:
California Assembly members recently peered into the garage of a suburban hobbyist and experienced a collective panic attack. Their legislative response, Assembly Bill 2047, presents itself as a targeted strike against the DIY firearm industry. This classification completely misrepresents the mechanics of the law. The actual mechanism establishes a permanent legal framework in which consumer hardware operates as an automated, inescapable agent of the state.

The NY Primaries Were a Wake-Up Call: How Radical Islamist Alliances Have Captured the Democratic Base:

Let’s go through the world abroad as it is today systematically. - Victor Davis Hanson

Five years ago, the Chinese were controlling, through their surrogate companies, the entry and exit to Panama.
Russia and China were the de facto rulers of Venezuela, with the second-largest oil reserves in the world.
A slew of communist governments had taken over South America.
Cuba was still defiant.
- What’s happened now?
There are no Chinese influencers in Panama.
We have said that John Kerry was wrong.
The Monroe Doctrine is not anachronistic.
It’s very much alive...
- Look at Europe.
Five years ago, Europe had been jawboned by Donald Trump in his first term to at least spend 2% [on defense].
Only six nations did so.
He jawboned them, he threatened them.
Six nations did so.
Now, almost 30 of 32 nations have agreed to spend 2% of GDP.

Sweden COLLAPSED under socialism. What the country did next destroys the left's argument. | Blaze Media:
“Governments from both the left and the right reduced regulations. They reformed the pensions. These are things we’re not doing. They introduced private competition into education. … Today, more than 800 independent schools operate with public funding. Private companies run a substantial share of the Swedish primary health centers,” he says.
“Taxes were restructured. Markets were liberalized. The reforms were not a rejection of the welfare state. They were an acknowledgment that somebody first has to create the wealth to pay for it,” he continues.
