What does Joe Biden know about elections that he's not telling the country?  Joe Biden has forced the entire Executive Branch of the Federal government to become involved in elections.  And all these Federal agencies are run by political appointees. Joe Biden is threatening to cross the Rubicon...

The crux of the 'new' policy approach that has been appropriated by the Biden administration is Make America Great Again.  Joe Biden inherited industrial policy to revitalize manufacturing in the United States; Biden has not created that policy.  The worry is that Biden will botch it up with...

“Whether you're a woodworker, hobbyist or a home repair specialist, you need saws. Here's some help for choosing the right types of saws.”

Saw this article, thought it might be interesting.  One of my hobbies, a long time ago, was to restore old old hand tools found at rummage sales and flea markets.  Even the cheap stuff made before 1960 was higher quality than what is available today.

“Forty-five percent of Democrats said they had a great deal of confidence in medicine, compared with 34% of Republicans.”

Americans are not as polarized over science as these journalistic narratives suggest.  And, if the reporting is accurate, then the political biases are quite apparent in news reporting.   What is interesting is that a science advisor to President Obama blames Republicans while a science advisor...

“The governor wants millions of people to drive EVs. What happens to the batteries when they get old is another issue.”

The solution for old EV batteries is obvious:  spend more money.  Politicians can fix any problem by simply spending other people's money.   Repurposing old EV batteries for grid electricity storage depends upon ensuring electricity is delivered over a grid.  Utilities will need the ability to...

Joe Biden using race and gender as a litmus test for political appointment is nothing more than blatant tokenism.  And why the Black community viewing Biden's tokenism as progressive rather than regressive defies rational logic.  Biden is engaged in overt, blatant racism. Joe Biden deliberately...
