A group of Republican U.S. senators introduced a new bill on Sept. 11 designed to curtail the growing power of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The bill, which is sponsored by Senators James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Mike Crapo (R-ID), responds to the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in August, which allots $80 billion of additional funding…
Senate Republicans Introduce Bill to Block ‘Super-Sized IRS’ from Targeting Middle-Class Americans
Welcome to the Green New Deal, California
Commentary If California, our most populous state, were its own nation, it would rank as the world’s fifth largest economy and boast the highest average household income (outside a handful of “countries” like Monaco or Luxemburg). And, yet, the governor is begging its citizens to stop using their appliances, turn off their lights and keep…
The ‘Inflation Reduction Act’: The Green New Deal’s New Look?
News Analysis Although our legacy media have dutifully described the Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)/Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) climate bill as the “Inflation Reduction Act,” it’s no stretch to call that a misnomer. After all, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said the legislation would have a “negligible effect on inflation.” Yet, even before the bill passed the…
LIVE 8/10 at 10:30AM ET: China Could Launch Surprise Attack on the US; How the Inflation Reduction Act Is the Green New Deal in Disguise

The Insidious Reach of ‘Greenies’ in US Municipalities
Commentary The Green New Deal (GND) has captured headlines in the United States for years, what with luminaries such as Al Gore, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (and the rest of The Squad), Hollywood supporters such as John Cusack and Mia Farrow, and virtually the entire Democrat Party publicly supporting its full implementation throughout the land. Lesser known…
Inflation Reduction Act—or Radical Green New Deal?
Commentary Make no mistake, the so-called Inflation Reduction Act unveiled Wednesday by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will do nothing that its supporters state—in fact, it will do quite the opposite. If passed, the act will increase the prices that Americans pay for energy, make the United States less energy secure,…
Trump Economic Team Says Inflation Won’t Fall Back to 2 Percent Unless Democrat Policies Change
Economists Art Laffer and and Kevin Hassett spoke with fellow Trump administration economic team alum Larry Kudlow on Kudlow’s Fox Business program on July 15, over Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) delaying President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda until August. The three former Trump economic advisors also believe that the United States is already in a recession and…
President Biden’s ‘Whole of Government’ Climate Spending Extravaganza
Just two years ago, the National Endowment for the Arts made only one grant to an art project that promised to address the issue of climate change, awarding $25,000 to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art to commission work informed by “research on the Earth’s dissolving permafrost layer.” During the last two years, the federal…
Beware: 100 Percent Green Energy Could Destroy the Planet
Commentary The untold story about “green energy” is that it can’t possibly be scaled up to provide anywhere near the energy to replace fossil fuels. (Unless we are headed back to the stone ages, which is what some of the “de-growth” advocates favor.) Right now, the United States gets about 70 percent of its energy…
