Wind PTC Threatens Grid Reliability

Like an itch you can’t quite scratch, the wind Production Tax Credit (PTC) is a lavish subsidy that refuses to go away. Created by the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the PTC provides a tax credit of $23 per megawatt hour (MWh) of wind production.

EPA Rule Targets Affordable Energy

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released today its proposed greenhouse gas emissions rule on new coal and natural gas-fired power plants. Institute for Energy Research President Thomas Pyle released the following statement in response to the proposed rule:

EPA’s Disingenuous Power Plant Regulation

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released their new decree on carbon dioxide emissions from coal and natural gas-fired power plants. This edict may be the most disingenuous regulation of all time. The administration claims that they have a moral imperative to “act on climate change,” but then released a regulation which they admit will not affect climate change in any way. Their moral imperative is an immoral assault against America’s working men and women and will only serve to drive up energy costs and make the U.S. more uncompetitive.

Putin: You know, I can’t be 100 percent sure Syria will actually comply with this thing

I can't really say the arrangement is unraveling, because that would imply that it was ever raveled in the first place - whatever that means. This was always preordained. Obama announces that he's got a deal with Putin so he can run as fast as possible from his own self-created Syria mess.

Kia crafts a fine flagship with Cadenza

As promised, House votes to defund Obamacare

Earlier this week, Speaker John Boehner announced that the House of Representatives would soon vote on a continuing resolution to defund Obamacare. Today he kept his promise. The House has passed a stopgap spending bill that will keep the government functioning, while all but halting the disastrously mislabeled "Affordable Care Act."

GENEVA, – A controversial nominee to the U.N. Human Rights Council was today given a 72-hour ultimatum to confess that for the past month he has been engaged in a massive cover-up by lying to the Swiss media over his ties to the Qaddafi Prize, and to withdraw his nomination for the election to be held in the middle of next week.

The Obamacare Scams Are Already Starting

Rouhani, Obama’s ‘Moderate’ Iranian Lifeline

This article by Anne Bayefsky originally appeared on National Review Online. As President Obama would have it, Hassan Rouhani, the new president of Iran, is a moderate. The president is leading Americans to believe that, to borrow Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s description of butcher Saddam Hussein, here is a man “with whom we can do business.”

Syria, Iran and the North Korean Model

Did US President Barack Obama score a great victory for the United States by concluding a deal with Russia on Syria's chemical weapons or has he caused irreparable harm to the US's reputation and international position?

The Hoax of Global Warming, AKA, Climate Change and Death of Coal Mining

Not content with various country killing plans, Obama seeks now to apply more new rules through his infamous Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that greatly concerns those who say his new "change" will be even less loved than the nightmarish "Hope and Change" of 2008. These next new changes could possibly result in deaths to our citizens and excessively high costs in their applications; in fact, one of Obama's own former appointees who has deep concerns that these new coal regulations could kill, was published in the following FoxNews.com story on September 19, 2013.

Washington Post Distorts Commission Probe of Benghazi

The Citizens' Commission on Benghazi (CCB) started off with a powerful message: "We are here and planning on staying until we get the answers we're seeking." But, some in the media just don't get it. Dana Milbank of The Washington Post delivered one of his Dennis the Menace, snarky rants about the view of "Benghazi, as seen from the grassy knoll." Yes, Dana Milbank is calling this group of patriotic Americans who have given so much for this country a bunch of lunatic conspiracy theorists.

Overzealous Penn State Ethics Panel Overreacts by Wrongly Firing Emmanuil Kaidanov

Penn State became infamous for failing to take prompt action against a staff member of its football program a few years ago. But now it deserves to become even more infamous for allegedly wrongfully firing one of its most respected and idealistic faculty members. It gets even uglier when one discovers that the head coach they fired, Emmanuil Kaidanov, is the most successful head coach in the history of NCAA fencing, and known to be extremely popular, ethical, and loyal to the university and its students for 31 years, bringing fame and glory to the university and lifelong appreciation for the positive influence he has had on his team members.

Are We Too Late to Stop U.N. Agenda 21?

The global cabal of U.N. Agenda 21 is behind global warming, regionalism, zoning, land and water use control, wealth redistribution, weakening and eventual replacement of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, global warming, cap and trade, Smart Grid, Smart Meters, carbon taxes, high gasoline prices, global citizens, IB World Schools, Common Core nationalized education standards, biofuels, Marxist advancement across the globe, food control, water access control via the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), gun control, health control, the Arab Spring/Winter, unchecked illegal immigration, and they are unstoppable.

Move over food cartoon characters, here come the Obamas

Coming soon to a supermarket near you, jars of tofu and packaged bean sprouts plastered with pictures of Michelle and Barack Obama.

Boehner: Why will Obama negotiate with Putin, but not with Congress?

Yesterday, John Boehner posted a new message and video to his Speaker.gov website. It reads:

That Losing Summer At The Box Office

Hollywood has experienced one losing film after another this summer. It has been expensive, and it has been embarrassing, as well. Millions upon millions of dollars were pumped into those major movies and still -- they flopped.

American exceptionalism

The question of “American Exceptionalism” has surfaced increasingly since Obama was chosen to preside over the American people. From the time of our founding as an independent republic through at least the Reagan administration, we have recognized that there was something different about Americans and the nation they built. But, since the current administration took power – and I use the term “took” purposefully – that status has come increasingly to be doubted.
