Left-Wing ‘Green’ Energy Proves Useless
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Science /by DrRichSwier.comBy Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow Europe’s attempted transition to so-called “Green” energy has been a massive fail. Wind and solar have proven too inefficient and unreliable to meet the continent’s needs, leaving it dependent on fossil fuels from, of all places, Russia. Now, with Russian supplies partially cut off, Europe faces what French President Macron […]
Rethinking Climate Change: Are the Apocalyptic Models Wrong?
/in Economy, Education, Environment, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Lipton Matthews The passion of the green movement has captured the world’s attention with its incessant demands for solutions to taper carbon emissions. Unfortunately, these appeals are rarely questioned due to the clout of environmental activists. We are automatically expected to endorse the assumptions of climate activists or be accused of science denialism. But closer introspection exposes […]
Energy Shortage and Mineral Dependence
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Liberty, National Security, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Neland Nobel Editors’ Note: Although the November 8th election here in Arizona will be focused on economic issues and our southern border invasion, the Inflation Reduction Act should be a central issue for the Senate race between Blake Masters (R) and incumbent Mark Kelly (D). Similarly, incumbent Kyrsten Sinema (D) will attempt to remain in […]
Time to Deal With Politicians Who Keep Bringing Us Massive Needless Spending Bills.
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Liberty, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Thomas C. Patterson Editors’ Note: Thomas Patterson’s excellent review of the deceptive and punishing Inflation Reduction Act ends with a statement about Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. He is accurately labeled as the 51st vote for the Inflation Reduction Act causing incalculable damage to Americans’ economic well-being and liberty and should be a major focus of […]

Is the Inflation Reduction Act Really a Climate Policy Game-Changer?
/in Environment, Featured, National Security, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy James E. Hanley Supporters of the Inflation Reduction Act are touting it as a game-changer on climate politics. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman – who may be a bit given to hyperbole where partisan politics is involved – has even suggested the Democrats may have just saved civilization itself. Conversely, some leftist critics of the bill argue it will […]

/in Environment, Featured, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, James Taylor, Jim Lakely Editors’ Note: While the “heat island” effect has been known for some time, if the country is about to embark on a costly socialist-driven program to “control climate change”, we had better have our facts correct. The implication of this article though is very serious. […]
Driving Stakes in the Heart of the Phony Climate Change Narrative
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Regulation, Science /by DrRichSwier.comBy The Daily Skirmish – Liberato.US It’s been a bad stretch for the phony climate change narrative, lately. A new report shows 96 percent of NOAA’s temperature stations don’t meet the agency’s own placement standards. They are deliberately placed near urban areas in order to overstate average temperatures, leading to the now-routine bogus claims we’re having the […]
The “Inflation Reduction Act” Will Do Almost Nothing That Joe Manchin Says It Will
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Liberty, National Security, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy James D. Agresti Editors Note: The following is an excellent analysis of this atrocious piece of legislation. While the “devil is in the details”, we cannot forget that our own Senator, Krysten Sinema, and Joe Manchin are the two people that previously held the line against Build Back Better, only to cave on a […]

Democrats’ Green Energy ‘Transition’ Costs You Way More And Gives You Way Less
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Liberty, National Security, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Chuck Devore The Inflation Reduction Act raises taxes on the middle class and will sabotage the country’s power grid by making green energy unavoidable. Democrats and their leftist allies are celebrating the U.S. Senate’s passage of the misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act.” Subject to a vote out of the Rules Committee mid-week, it’s expected that […]
An Open Letter to Senator Sinema
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, National Security, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Mark T. Cicero Words cannot express my disappointment in your vote on the completely mis-labeled Inflation Reduction Act that was recently voted on. The nation’s inflation rate has never been effectively reduced by spending another pile of tax-payer money that has yet to be collected. In the words of Milton Friedman: “Inflation is always and […]
A Little Reality About the New Spending Bill
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Liberty, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Bruce Bialosky The Democrats are masters of misnaming the intended purpose of bills they offer up to disguise what is really happening. It is indicative of how gullible they believe we are. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will do nothing to reduce inflation. The main reason is that revenues will not be achieved […]

/in DrRichSwier.com, Elections, Energy, Environment, Science, Taxes /by DrRichSwier.comBy The Daily Skirmish – Liberato.US The so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ passed by the Senate contains $250 billion in Energy Department loan guarantees for, among other things, renewable energy.

In Defense of National Conservatism
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Liberty, Life Advocacy, National Security, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Scott Yenor Editors Note: As the article suggests, National Conservatism is a work in progress. Some call it MAGA and that seems to mean different things to different people. For us, it embraces elements of political conservatism but emphasizes the historic need to control the abuse of power, especially from today’s internationalist technocratic framework. It […]

In Condemnation of Kyrsten Sinema
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Healthcare, Liberty, National Security, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Neland Nobel Last January we wrote a piece called “In Praise of Krysten Sinema.” It was written in a generous bi-partisan spirit.

Our Elitist Environmental Experts Are Driving Us Over The Cliff
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Liberty, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Thomas C. Patterson Leftist thought leaders insist that we are facing an environmental holocaust unless we immediately drastically reduce carbon emissions. Yet it’s curious. The governing and influence elites demand massive societal sacrifice, while they are apparently not concerned enough to alter their own extravagant lifestyles. They own multiple sumptuous homes, cars, and yachts. They […]

/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Regulation, Science /by DrRichSwier.comBy Royal A. Brown III The government drive to force auto manufacturers to produce uneconomical and unreliable as well as totally inefficient electronic cars is a scam.

Why Are Gas Prices Falling?
/in DrRichSwier.com, Economy, Elections, Energy, Environment, Politics, Regulation /by DrRichSwier.comBy Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) Does Biden deserve credit or does the second law of demand explain our less painful trips to the pump? Anyone who has a car is breathing a sigh of relief this last week. After two years of increasing gas prices, we’ve finally had a significant fall in gas prices. […]
A Political Victory for the Joes Is a Loss for the Country
/in Economy, Environment, Featured, Liberty, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy William Anderson Editors’ Note: If Manchin thinks this will end the war on fossil fuels, he of course is wrong. The legislation through taxation and subsidies still directs energy choices through a top-down, central planning model, rather than allowing free competition among choices. It also does nothing to challenge the dubious science of global […]
