The reason this was so important is that the man with the nuclear codes was mentally incompetent as the nation waged a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. In fact, Biden extended that conflict into Russia itself…
We should all hate the mainstream media for putting the entire human race at risk by covering up Biden’s mental failings.
If the good guy was really the bad guy, is the current bad guy…?
The mainstream media is finally admitting what nearly every American already knew: Joe Biden was in severe mental decline during his presidency.
From his first debate in 2019 until his final interviews as president, the man appeared ready for a nursing home.
However, those of us who attempted to draw attention to the obvious mental decline of a president who did not start at a high point were routinely condemned for making the observation.
CNN’s Jake Tapper, who is now leading the charge of exposing the “cover-up,” once shamed a TV anchor for asking about Biden’s mental health, claiming that by doing so she was insulting children with stutters.
Day after day, we heard Biden was “sharp as a tack” and “better than he’s ever been.” This was all behind the scenes, of course, as his public statements, interviews, addresses and debates were disastrous.
Milton Friedman offered a plausible explanation: the Vietnam War and draft dodging for staying in school. Young men of a conservative bent went over there, 10,000 miles way, to fight and die in this war. Young lefties, instead, pursued graduate degrees in droves.
Local school board primary this week. Not excited.
Lefty professors at American colleges and universities are shocked, (shocked!) to discover that under the new rules promulgated by the Trump administration they are obliged, for the first time in their careers, to watch their Ps and Qs or else face serious and negative consequences.
Academics from Florida are leading the parade with their complaints since it is Governor Ron DeSantis, the point man for President Trump in this educational counter-revolution, who first instituted reforms aligned with the new policy.
The bitter grievance of these campus whiners is that they are now being heavily penalized for using the wrong words. Their favorite courses are being canceled. Entire departments are being scrutinized to see if there is even a vestige of intellectual diversity, and when those looking fail to find any, there are consequences. They are under the gun.
This is nothing less than poetic justice. These professors are finding that they do not much like it now that the shoe is on the other foot. They do not have a smidgen of appreciation for the age-old rule that turnabout is fair play. Now that they are subjected to the same sort of stultifying oversight they have long imposed upon the rare conservative or libertarian professor allowed on campus, the outcry is deafening.
Professors like me have little sympathy. We have been subjected to sensitivity training—re-education camps, in effect—for supposedly misusing pronouns, and for using words like “Oriental,” “cotton,” “slavery,” and “freedom.” There was even a professor excoriated for correctly pronouncing a Chinese phrase in class that sounded like the N word (nèi ge, literally meaning “that one,” and used as a filler word like the English “uh” or “um.”). As for “niggardly,” let us not go there.
Nevertheless, I think that Trump, DeSantis, and many other Republican politicians, bless them, are barking up the wrong tree. Their hearts are indeed in the right place, the exact right place, but their policies leave something to be desired.
Why do I say this?
If every last black “studies” department, feminist “studies” department, queer “studies” department, every last one of them were canceled, the virus would still remain in the academic patient’s body. The tenured Marxist professors who taught them would merely move over to humanities and social science departments. The administrators who run these dens of iniquity would still be in charge of the campus zoo.
…In my years of working closely with government leaders (and would-be leaders) from my own country and internationally, I’ve learned over time that there’s a mind-set that’s common to those who have made politics their life’s work. They think fundamentally differently from businesspeople who learn to make things work both practically and economically over an extended period. The latter must do so, or go out of business. Political leaders, however, don’t have this restriction. For them, the job is not one of being profitable and effective in satisfying the public with a good or service. For them, profitability is irrelevant. Further, they need not satisfy the public; they need merely to succeed in imposing their programmes onto the public…
On April 23rd, I participated in a conference at the European Parliament on the future of nuclear energy with experts from all over Europe, where I warned that, with the current energy policies, blackouts will be the norm, not a coincidence.
The shortsighted and sectarian policy of the activists who populate the government has led us to the worst blackout in the history of Spain. We have been without communication or electricity for nearly eleven hours.
This blackout, with the immediate collapse of fifteen gigawatts of power in the system, is the consequence of a policy that penalizes base energy, key to providing stability to the system, and plunders the energy sector.
Governments have been dedicated to closing nuclear power plants, making them unviable with abusive and confiscatory taxation; penalizing investment in distribution with absurd regulations; imposing a volatile and intermittent energy mix; and burdening energy with elevated taxes and administrative delays. What could go wrong? Everything.
And it happened.
Renewable energies, while essential in a balanced energy mix, cannot provide safety and stability due to their volatility and intermittent nature. That’s why it is essential to have a balanced system with base-load energy that operates all the time, such as hydropower, nuclear, and natural gas as backup.
Destroying access to nuclear energy with unnecessary closures and confiscatory taxation has been part of the fundamental causes of the disaster and the blackout.
Last week, they had to close the remaining nuclear power plants because their taxes are so high that they cannot cover their fixed costs. They have destroyed nuclear plants’ economics by political design. Moreover, those plants would have provided stability to the grid if national and regional governments, which use nuclear and hydroelectric power as cash cows for their revenue-hungry policies, had prioritized supply security over energy sectarianism.
There is much more.
Spain and Portugal produce electricity with more than 60% solar and wind energy. Hydraulic, nuclear, and combined cycle gas plants must cover the shortfalls in solar and wind production, which is intermittent. There is no possibility of having a stable and secure system with a continuous supply if the electrical grid is not balanced to avoid a total blackout. According to Euronews, France sometimes produces too much electricity, leading the network operator RTE to disconnect solar or wind sites. The consumer pays taxes to cover the operator’s losses. This procedure prevents a general blackout of the grid.”
In Spain, the president of Red Eléctrica, Beatriz Corredor, whose experience in energy is more than scarce, has never given a message or coordinated actions to prevent blackouts that were happening more frequently recently. We have been experiencing sporadic supply cuts to the industry for years, and just a week ago, the Chamartín station had a severe supply cut episode.
The crisis was not only a disaster due to the shortsighted energy policy of the current and previous governments. It was a disaster due to the inaction of the Ministry of Defence. Similar to the recent floods, our security forces exhibited astonishment at their lack of mobilization. Trains and elevators blocked thousands of travelers for hours, while the army stood by, waiting for orders.
Six days ago, the government, left-wing parties, and many media outlets celebrated that Spain’s power grid ran entirely on renewable energy for a weekday for the first time. Bravo. A week later, a massive blackout in Spain, Portugal, and parts of France. France quickly restored electricity because it has the largest nuclear fleet in Europe. In Spain, the government maintained a confiscatory taxation system that prevented nuclear plants from operating, resulting in nearly eleven hours of darkness and no communication.
Red Eléctrica reported that the cause was a “strong oscillation in the electrical grid” that “forced the Iberian Peninsula to disconnect from the European system”. The collapse was immediate and long-lasting. It was the longest power outage in the history of Spain. The recovery efforts were in vain as they attempted to restore frequency control and stability with a system dependent on volatile and intermittent renewables.
A system without physical inertia, provided by baseload energies that operate all the time—nuclear and hydroelectric—makes it impossible to stabilise the grid in the face of supply disruptions.
On this day, May 10, 1924, J. Edgar Hoover was appointed the first Director of the Bureau of Investigation, later the FBI, a role he held until his death in 1972. At 29, he took a small agency and turned it into a sprawling powerhouse, amassing files on politicians, activists, and ordinary citizens—often through illegal wiretaps and blackmail. From targeting Martin Luther King Jr. to COINTELPRO’s sabotage of dissenters, Hoover’s FBI became a shadow government, unaccountable and feared.
This wasn’t law enforcement; it was tyranny dressed in a badge. Hoover’s unchecked reign shows what happens when power festers in one person—or one agency—too long. The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania sees the FBI’s scarred legacy as a warning: centralized power invites abuse. The agency’s still a threat—spying, overreaching, picking winners. Abolish it, and let local law handle crime. Freedom thrives when no one looms above the law.
Haven’t heard from the Goldwater Institute in a long while.
Friend,
In 2023, a Pennsylvania mother of three, Ann Trethewey, investigated whether her school district was indoctrinating students in the racially divisive tenants of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”
However, she hit a brick wall.
The district denied her request, claiming that the records were exempt because they revealed a “trade secret.”
Since when are taxpayer-funded materials shielded from public disclosure and transparency because officials simply label them as “trade secrets”?
Short answer: They aren’t!
In a landmark decision, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania delivered a resounding victory for transparency, ruling that the DEI training materials were not trade secrets and taxpayers have every right to examine them.
The Goldwater Institute’s American Freedom Network of pro bono attorneys proudly defended Ann’s parental rights in her fight for transparency and accountability in public schools.
Parents have a right to know if DEI indoctrination is happening in their children’s classrooms.
This decision is a crucial victory in the fight for parental rights and government transparency.
But the fight to protect parental rights isn’t over…
DEI lurks in schools across the country.
School districts continue to use secrecy, including unfounded claims of trade secrets and proprietary information, as a shield to push ideological agendas.
These bureaucrats claim to know better than parents about what’s best for their kids and are keeping families in the dark about what is happening in classrooms.
We must remain vigilant and persistent in defending transparency because parents have a right to know what their children are being taught in taxpayer-funded schools.
Our team is working in all 50 states to hold officials accountable to parents.
