Policymakers in Washington are calling for a nationwide “energy transformation”—a future dominated by electric vehicles (EVs), solar panels, and wind turbines. But there’s a catch. Not only does China currently control the supply of critical minerals required for these advanced technologies,…
I have never understood why the Left chose abortion as the issue for which they are willing to draw a line in the sand. It doesn’t make sense. There is no grand design or final end that demands it. Abortion does nothing to bring in the socialist utopia. It doesn’t advance the goals of minori…
