The High Price of Climate Alarm

It is with no small amount of pleasure that I found a media outlet acknowledging President Joe Biden’s energy and climate policies have increased American’s energy costs. The Dallas Express, a local online alternative news outlet, published a story titled “Energy Prices 30% Higher Under Biden Admin.” Unlike so much of the mainstream media, The Dallas Express didn’t expend ink trying to explain how consumers really don’t realize that the economy and their lives are better despite the higher prices, or that the costs Biden and company have added to peoples’ power bills are justified as a means of fighting climate change. Rather, the Express took a Joe Friday, “just the facts” approach, explaining:

Energy prices in the United States are wreaking havoc on budget-sensitive households, making it harder for families to save money or get ahead financially.

Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, Americans’ electricity bills have skyrocketed nearly 30%, or 13 times faster than in the previous seven years, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of the latest consumer price index data.

Despite the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady since July 2023, inflation continues to pose a problem for policymakers and households.

Another Terrible Box Office Report For Woke Hollywood
Story by Bo Beard • 16h
 
 
The Hollywood box office has faced significant challenges in recent times, stemming from a combination of factors such as strikes, film delays, surprise flops, and the availability of streaming services.

The total domestic box office gross for 2023 fell short of the anticipated $9 billion, standing at $8.58 billion as of December 17th. This underperformance was attributed to a variety of issues, including strikes, superhero film flops, and a reduced number of film releases, leading to a tough year for the industry.

I find it interesting this information comes via the Jerusalem Post and not American media.  Surely they aren't trying to cover it up!?

British Islamic scholar Anjem Chaudary calls for the abolition of secular democracy and the implementation of Islamic Sharia law in the United Kingdom. The implementation of Sharia will be facilitated by Muslims attaining “positions of power and authority” in Britain, he says.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey on Friday filed an amicus brief, supporting the middle school students who protested a recent appeals court ruling against West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act.

Five students who forfeited a shot-put competition on April 18 in protest of the ruling have now been barred from competing in that event at their next track and field meet. Four of the five students, through their parents, filed suit.

“The only thing this decision does is teach these children to keep their mouths shut and not disagree with what they saw as unfairness,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “That is outrageous and it tramples these students’ rights to freedom of speech and expression.”

On April 18, the students attended the 2024 Harrison County Middle School Championships track and field meet where they were scheduled to compete in shot-put. The plaintiff, a transgender athlete, in the federal lawsuit was also present for the April 18 competition following the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decision allowing that student to do so.
 
The five students stepped out of the shot-put circle without throwing, forfeiting in protest. ...
