MACDONALD: Some of the Highest Electric Rates in the Nation

Tue, 2026-04-14 21:00 +0000

Renewable energy, so-called because it attempts to capture natural resources and convert them into electricity, is neither cheap, scalable, nor climate-friendly. They will never be affordable because the material needed to make them isn’t, and the decommission costs are ugly, both economically and environmentally. Renewable portfolios force generators to include them in the mix, driving ... Read more

Tue, 2026-04-14 16:00 +0000

The New Hampshire School Boards Association (NHSBA), the notorious creator of numerous combative and corrosive anti-parent policies often adopted by school districts across New Hampshire, recently held a presentation.

GABERT: Governor Ayotte Declares April 29, 2026 End Jew Hatred Day

Tue, 2026-04-14 14:00 +0000

Growing up Jewish in the West Texas Baptist Bible Belt, I was fortunate as I experienced very little antisemitism — at least not in any form I recognized. A sideways comment here, a stereotype there, but nothing overt, nothing frightening. I knew the term “Antisemitism,” of course. But for much of my life, it remained ... Read more

Tue, 2026-04-14 11:00 +0000

A lot of things used to be considered health care, so as California struggles to bitterly cling to conversion therapy bans and lawsuits tied to it (and the Transgender Agenda), one bit of testimony reminds us that trans health care isn’t really health care either.
