Election Realities, Progress Ahead

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 20, 2025

“The enemy is not Donald Trump and never has been. The enemy is Statism. Left libertarians such as David Boaz and Tom Palmer, with their emotions raging, and outfits like the Left-funded, TDS-infested, Kamala-supporting Institute for the Study of Modern Authoritarianism never got it and still don’t.”

Statism and intellectual elitism took a big hit in the election. Count the reasons, such as this listing distributed on social media.

It was the economy…. migrant mess…. inflation spurred by rampant spending…. green energy idiocy…. electric-everything mandates…. Left’s anti-Americanism. Men in women’s sports. Transitioning children.

“Desiree is a leading expert in the field of sustainable finance and investment banking with over 25 years of experience in innovating and reshaping financial markets,” her bio reads.…

Last Gasp for Offshore Wind: “Reinvesting in Shoreline Economies and Ecosystems Act”

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 16, 2025

“So the U.S. is about one percent, with six years to go, toward meeting the Biden/Harris goal for offshore wind of 30 GW. Just another rank exaggeration, another energy fantasy, in the undoing.”

It should simply be worded “The Offshore Wind Rescue Act.” Instead, the Reinvesting in Shoreline Economies and Ecosystems Act (S. 373: 118th Congress) reads:

To modify the disposition of certain outer Continental Shelf revenues and to open Federal financial sharing to heighten opportunities for renewable energy, and for other purposes.

A BILL
To modify the disposition of certain outer Continental Shelf revenues and to open Federal financial sharing to heighten opportunities for renewable energy, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
