For context, the pier has been in place for less than a month, and it's already suffered multiple shutdowns related to moderate seas overtaking it...
That's $320 million of taxpayer money essentially flushed down the drain, never mind the ongoing costs to maintain, dismantle, and ultimately tow away the pier...
The Bill of Rights drafted by Madison – the first 10 amendments to the Constitution – was a document so revolutionary at the time that it would come to be viewed as the epitome of American liberty. The rights of the people reflected in those 10 amendments encapsulated much of Madison's views about government, the corrupting influence of power, and the need for safeguards against tyranny.
Madison's writings speak volumes to the present constitutional crisis in the country.
"GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — On this “To The Point,” an update on the state’s budget and what is happening with your energy supply. State Sen. Sam Singh, D-East Lansing, talks about what he thinks the state’s new energy policy will do for ratepayers.
“I think what you’re going to see is that if we continue down the pathway where using very expensive coal and other types of things the increases would have been so much more significant. So, I think you’re going to see sort a natural part of inflation, but you’re going to see the reduction because we’re using cheaper forms of energy like renewables, which is a game changer I think for the industry,” he said.
We keep blowhards like Majorie Taylor-Greene at arm's length. We've long since tired of hearing Hannity turn every other conversation into a banal trumpeting of his martial arts skills. The door hit George Santos on the way out.
But aside from a few noble voices, the Left refuses to do any such thing within its own camp...
“Do more reading,” I’d been told as a medical student when I worried aloud about overly liberal use of morphine (see Part I). Had I obediently done so, a thorough review of the medical literature could have turned up many studies demonstrating that a casually-written opioid prescription can wreck a person’s life.
But to find them I would have had to sift through many hundreds of peer-reviewed publications arguing the opposite: that addiction with opioid prescriptions never really happens...
After Biden’s supposed victory in 2020, Americans’ faith in our election system has waned significantly. With November 5 just around the corner, people across the country are skeptical about whether or not we will have a fair election this time around.
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales along with the Blaze Originals team recently headed to Michigan to investigate the state’s voting system, granted the swing state heavily altered its voting laws after Trump’s victory in 2016.
What they uncovered suggests that a fair 2024 election is highly unlikely.
Based on the best available data, the two scientists concluded the 21st century has seen “a decreasing trend [of natural disasters] to 2022” which is “characterized by a significant decline in number of events.”

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under Anthony Fauci funded deadly gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the likely epicenter of the pandemic. Although millions of Americans died from COVID-19, the NIAID apparently did not learn its lesson.
According to congressional investigators, the NIAID received approval to execute radical gain-of-function experiments on MPXV, the virus that causes monkeypox.
"...The green Grantham stunt is of course the latest in a long line of attempts to suggest that most ‘scientists’ believe humans control the climate...
This evidence-lite but ubiquitous assertion is not even backed up by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which finds there has been no human involvement in most natural events such as floods, droughts, wildfires and cyclones to date.
Nor is human involvement detected in forecasts stretching to 2100...
Were a Hamas-run state to replace Israel "from the river to the sea", it would be a theocratic regime closer to that of Iran than to the autocracies of Jordan or Egypt. Jews and Christians would not be allowed to live as equal citizens in such a state. Indeed, in areas currently controlled by Hamas, Christians and other non-Muslim minorities have been ethnically cleansed.
Hamas is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Iranian mullahs....
The real focus of these demonstrations is not on the alleged victims, but rather on the alleged perpetrators. The perpetrators are actually more anti-Israel than pro-Palestinian... It has always been more about identifying with the alleged perpetrators -- Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Che Guevara -- than with the alleged victims.
It is Hamas, not Israel, that is responsible for much, if not all, of the victimization of Palestinian civilians...
The founder of the Palestinian movement in the run-up to the Second World War was a proud Nazi and friend of Adolf Hitler. It was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who turned the Arab-Jewish dispute from a resolvable conflict over land to an irresolvable conflict over religion.

The director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) claimed that the agency had no time to advise Alaska of a significant reversal of policy during a Thursday hearing.
BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning made the assertion during a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing while being grilled by Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska over multiple restrictions on energy and mining projects which drew fire from Native American groups in the state and Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola of Alaska.
...On the nongovernmental side, left-wing nonprofitsfunded by leftist billionaires evade federal law by targeting and registering Democrat-friendly demographics, such as racial minorities, college-educated women, and young people.
After these likely-Democrat voters are on the voter rolls, left-wing activists and groups chase and harvestthese low-effort votes in the weeks leading up to Election Day.
Organizations such as the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence — the newest iteration of the “Zuckbucks” scheme used to boost Biden and Democrats in the 2020 election — are also attempting to influence election operations in various localities throughout the country...
At the same time, Biden is actively weaponizing the federal government’s taxpayer-funded resources to conduct voter registration drives benefiting Democrats. More commonly known as “Bidenbucks,” the executive order signed by Biden in March 2021 instructed hundreds of federal agencies to increase their voter registration and GOTV activities — which Congress never authorized...
In a Thursday news release (full text below), the committee said that it had begun an investigation into Biden’s Executive Order 14019, “Promoting Access to Voting,” soon after Biden signed it, which was in March of 2021, according to Fox News.
Committee Chairman Bryan Steil requested documents from the 15 Cabinet members on May 15 about what he called “Bidenbucks” and described as an “attempt by the Biden Administration to tilt the scales ahead of 2024,” and had received no response after nearly a month. Thus, the subpoenas.
