U.S. Lending $5 Billion To An American Natural Gas Competitor
The Export-Import Bank recently approved a $5 billion loan to French energy company TotalEnergy to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline in Mozambique. An American organization is funding America’s economic competition, contradicting its mission and President Donald Trump’s plans to support U.S.-based businesses. Ex-Im was established in 1934 via an executive order by Franklin D.
Meet the Coal Town Democrats Destroyed
Seven years ago, I stood on the main street of a coal town in West Virginia with the mayor. “That used to be a diner, that was a bakery, that was a small gift shop and florist,” he said pointing to the row of boarded-up storefronts in the bankrupted and empty town.
Media Sobbing Over Fired Bureaucrats Told Miners 'Learn To Code'
I was at the last outpost of the Keystone XL pipeline when President Biden shut it down in January of 2021. The only TV outlet there covering the shutdown was Fox News. My organization, Power The Future, fights for energy workers, and Joe Biden had declared war against them. Biden signed Executive Order 13990 just a few hours after his swearing in, and thousands of people were suddenly out of a job. I met Bugsy, a 30-year master welder, over the phone.
Failed Interior Secretary Haaland Now Wants To Ruin New Mexico
In declaring her candidacy for governor of New Mexico, former Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland became the first high-ranking official from the Biden administration to run for a new political office. The announcement surprised no one, especially after her only real primary challenger, the state’s senior U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich, withdrew from the race.
The Now-Forgotten 'Climate Crisis': A Cynical Ploy For Dems To Gain Power
Don’t look now, but the “climate crisis” is officially over. No need to take my word for it. Just ask the Democratic Party’s new standard bearer, Vice President Kamala Harris, who mentioned the topic “just once” in her acceptance speech at the recent Democratic National Convention, according to The New York Times. [emphasis, links added] The Times also noted that Harris “has not offered any new policies for addressing climate change.” How far we have come in five short years.
The ‘Climate Crisis' Was Nothing But A Cynical Ploy By Democrats

Climate Cultists Will Do Anything To Save Earth, Except Stay Home
Under President Joe Biden, the U.S. has spent more money than ever before in fighting so-called “climate change.” But climate activists continue to call for more. One wonders if it is ever possible to satisfy their demands. The climate agenda is flush with incongruities and inconsistencies, a nicer way of saying “lies.” Decades of unrealized doomsday predictions do not prevent more doomsday predictions.
Africans Might Know It's Christmas If They Weren't Slaves To 'Green' Energy
With the Christmas season ending and radio stations returning to their regular selection of music, one song I most certainly will not miss is that painful British tune “Do They Know It’s Christmas.” Written nearly 40 years ago by a group of British musicians to raise money for victims of Ethiopia’s famine, the song is best remembered as the leading prompt for millions worldwide to change the station — a truly terrible, annoying, sanctimonious song despite its noble intentions and purported...
DANIEL TURNER: Hold On To Your Wallet Whenever Politicians Say They Are Using ‘Science’ To Craft Policy
Science is weaponized for political gain. Let us not even pretend otherwise. COVID hysteria was not that long ago, and we remember the “science” that told us standing six feet apart waiting to board the plane was necessary to slow the spread, but then we could sit shoulder to shoulder for several hours on a flight across country. But fret not, we wore masks, because science. Of course, you could take your mask off to eat or drink, because science.
Daniel Turner: How Going Green Helps Red China
On this week’s episode of She Thinks, Daniel Turner joins to discuss how the Biden administration’s green agenda is making America dependent on China. We focus on how the push to electrify our homes, vehicles, and many other areas of our lives is leading to China’s increasing dominance on the world stage.
DANIEL TURNER: GOP Debaters Knocked This Topic Out Of The Park
As someone who spends a lot of time in town hall meetings, debates, and question and answer sessions all across America, I enjoyed watching the fireworks at the first GOP Debate. No, I am not referring to the back and forth on abortion or Ukraine, but the question of climate change. Climate change is the gateway to energy cowardice. Political candidates are petrified to appear as “climate deniers” since all the cool kids, Hollywood elites, the media, all believe in climate change.
Here Are Some Serious Energy Policy Questions For 2024’s GOP Candidates
While every issue is on the ballot in 2024, energy stands out. From their first day in office, the Biden administration has launched an all-out assault on the American economy, culture and national security and foreign relations with its unrelenting crusade against domestic energy production. Energy undergirds all the aforementioned. Inexpensive, abundant reliable energy built our economy and provides for our national defense.

DANIEL TURNER: Red State’s Looming Elections Are The First Line Of Defense Against Biden’s Energy Insanity
Since the midterms, President Joe Biden has been in a mad rush to complete his war on American energy. Just in recent months, the Biden administration announced new mandates that will shut down most traditional energy power plants, pushed regulations moving us one step closer to fully banning gas cars, and proposed a rule that would ban most gas stoves.

Eco-Left Attacks America's Energy Producers at the Source
By Daniel Turner Although America’s energy producers are already under daily attack from the Biden administration, the eco-left is not content to limit their crusade to Washington DC. They are funding local groups in energy producing states to put in place endless hurdles to responsibly extracting energy. While the tactics may differ by the state, they all share the same goal: stopping domestic production and American energy independence at the source.
Dream of carbon neutral world … debunked! — THE MILLENNIAL PRESS
[Editor’s note: This story originally was published by Real Clear Wire.] By Daniel Turner Real Clear Wire First they came for the cars. Then the gas stoves. Next was meat and dairy products. The latest on the chopping block? Wood-fired pizza. These types of tactics grab the headlines, but make no mistake: climate alarmism courses through the veins of the highest levels of government leaders and regulators.
IEA’s Net Zero Dream Was Just Debunked as a Nightmare
First they came for the cars. Then the gas stoves. Next was meat and dairy products. The latest on the chopping block? Wood-fired pizza. These types of tactics grab the headlines, but make no mistake: climate alarmism courses through the veins of the highest levels of government leaders and regulators. As President Joe Biden would say, “I’m not joking, folks.” Give Biden credit for one thing: he has been honest about his intentions.

Biden is pushing a huge tax on crypto. It could backfire spectacularly
The cryptocurrency sector is a multitrillion-dollar industry. But rather than help Americans cash in on it, President Joe Biden apparently wants to discourage its growth, first through regulation and now through punitive taxation. The White House just unveiled a proposal for a 30% tax on bitcoin mining, which is the complicated digital process by which new bitcoins are “mined” or created. Why? Because, relatively speaking, this process uses a lot of electricity.
TURNER: Democrats’ Green Agenda Will Gut America’s Oldest Industry And Turn Coastal Towns Into The New Appalachia
President Joe Biden likes to say that he’s the best friend the working man has ever had in the White House. The fishing communities he’s destroying to affect the green transition might disagree. Biden’s regulators are driving fishermen of all kinds off the water in droves, while offshore wind development his administration backs is threatening access to productive fishing grounds.
Radical Wind Farm Activists Blame Blue-Collar Fishermen For Whale Deaths
Dead whales are washing ashore on the East Coast at a disturbing clip. But many radical environmentalists, purported friends of the poor sea creatures, are hard at work deflecting blame from the possible culprit – the late surge of offshore wind farm development in the Atlantic. Lobstermen and commercial fishermen are the favored scapegoat of the dark money environmental lobby.
Biden's '10 Years More Of Oil' Shows Dangerous Energy Ignorance
Written by Daniel Turner on Feb 17, 2023. Posted in Latest news Interruptions at State of the Union addresses are a tale as old as time. They are even used as a measure of the speech’s overall success. This year, President Joe Biden introduced a new measure: laughter. Not the gentle ribbing at a good-natured quip or political joke, but the belly laugh of half the chamber laughing at – not with – the President.
Inflation By Design
Years ago, one of my high school teachers showed us the great essay by Leonard Read called “I, Pencil.”
TURNER: Biden Admin Seems To Think The Diesel Crisis Will Magically Fix Itself
Critics of the previous administration were never shy about lobbing accusations involving “Big Oil.” Donald Trump was their puppet, according to the narrative. Yet, nearly two years after he left office, the news headlines are dominated by the energy crisis. High costs. Persistent shortages. OPEC muscle flexing. Russian invasions. You would be forgiven for thinking America and the world were doing much better when there was an “American Energy First” proponent in the Oval Office.
Biden Begs OPEC For Oil, While Kneecapping Domestic
For the third time in fewer than eight months, Saudi Arabia has deliberately humiliated President Joe Biden on the world stage.
TURNER: Corporate America Is Learning The Hard Way - Go Woke, Go Broke
Social media repeats one of my favorite phrases: go woke, go broke. After PayPal announced plans to penalize those who violate their standards regarding gender and trans issues with a $2,500 fine, its stock plummeted and the company lost $6 billion. #BoycottPayPal trended. This backlash has hit the NBA, the NFL, Hollywood and the music industry, all financially weaker, in part, because their wokeness clashes with mainstream American values.

TURNER: While Elites Live It Up In Davos, America Continues To Suffer From Their Stupidity
Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s definition of the intelligentsia — those educated beyond their intelligence — illuminates the current gathering of global powerbrokers and intellectuals in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum.
TURNER: Ignore The Left’s Fearmongering And Celebrate Earth Day For What It Really Is
Let’s call Earth Day by the name radical environmentalists would prefer: “Fear Day.” After all, that is their underlying message every year and especially surrounding this moment on the calendar. They want you to be afraid. Be very afraid. Since Earth Day was started in 1970 innumerable apocalyptic prophesies have come and gone in the same unrealized fashion as the 2012 Mayan end of times prediction.
Why Are Energy Prices Everywhere So High? Democrats
When President Biden warned of a bleak and deadly winter, he was referring to the Covid-19 outbreak that he promised to “shut down.” While he has failed to curb the virus, his policies have unfortunately been more successful reining in our once thriving energy industry. At the one-year mark of his administration running the Departments of Interior and Energy and determining regulations at the Environmental Protection Agency, anyone paying a bill sees the results.
TURNER: Leftist Elites Create Massive Carbon Footprint … To Go Lecture Everyone Else About Their Carbon Footprint
If you believe the propaganda from the left, fossil fuels cause climate change. This is such an existential problem that President Biden himself must fly Air Force One to the United Nations Climate Conference in Scotland in person. Our carbon footprint is such a threat that 13 cabinet members are also attending the event, called COP26. Several governors are attending, including John Bel Edwards of Louisiana, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, and of course, Gavin Newsom of California.
Big Tech censorship on climate change only hurts the nation
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” — Ludwig Wittgenstein, “Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus,” 1922 The British philosopher Wittgenstein wrote those words as a philosophical foundation for his larger belief in freedom of speech. His meaning: He who controls the language also controls reality, something that today’s left understands brilliantly, even devilishly.
Big Tech is censoring the climate change debate
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, 1922 Wittgenstein wrote that as an ontological and epistemological foundation for his larger belief in freedom of speech. He who controls the language also controls reality, something that today’s left understands brilliantly, even devilishly. America historically has not limited freedom of thought and speech, and the resulting clash of ideas has improved our national discourse.

Should we love Afghan hounds more than American soldiers?
Dogs are not people. Now, I love my dogs and couldn’t imagine life on our little farm without them. But when we establish false equivalencies, we don’t elevate dogs; we degrade humanity. And that’s what we’re doing with the dogs of war left behind by the Biden administration in Afghanistan. It is unclear how many dogs were stranded at Kabul airport when the last US flight departed. It’s also unclear how many Americans were stranded. And how many weapons were left.
TURNER: Joe Manchin Is A Deciding Vote On Biden’s BLM Nominee, And Opposing Her Should Be A No-Brainer
In the past six months since the inauguration of the 46th president, Washington, D.C., has become a tale of two Joes: President Joe Biden and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. Operating at opposite ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, the pair of old school Democrats put on a big show about bipartisanship, whimsically yearning for the days of yore when politics was more civilized.
TURNER: Granholm’s Comments About The Miami Condo Collapse Should Concern Every American
We don’t yet know the cause of the tragic collapse of the residential tower in Miami, Florida. One individual claims his wife called him in real-time saying the building was shaking as she watched the swimming pool fall into a sinkhole. Whether it was a structural issue or a matter of negligence, or perhaps the rare freak accident, the top priority should be human life: a staggering 149 people are still unaccounted for and 12 are confirmed dead in the nightmarish scenario. But not for the left.
TURNER: Established Narratives Need To Be Questioned
I was lucky enough to be in the car to catch the entire first episode of Vince Coglianese’s new eponymous radio show, and a common theme, something I hope becomes regular, was “questioning the narrative.” Issues are reported with almost frightening uniformity of opinion and with a growing need to silence dissent. That has to stop. We live in an age where many reporters, perhaps the majority, report about the reporting of what other reporters reported.
Liberal media ignore ethics and electric concerns at Biden Energy Department
When President Joe Biden traveled to Michigan last week touting the new electric-powered Ford F-150 Lightning, the ever-watchful and vigilant traveling press corps were there to hold his feet to the fire.

TURNER: A Few Simple Things Elites Would Do If They Really Cared About Climate Change
The climate change agenda, as it is understood and perpetuated today, is based on three very simple premises: 1- our climate is on the brink of catastrophe; 2- human action, specifically our use of fossil fuels, has caused it; 3- bold steps are needed to remedy it. So, on this Earth Day, I call for some very specific actions which, according to this belief system, should be part of the preventative measures which might delay our demise.
New York's Wind Power Plans Make No Sense
I haven’t lived in New York City since I graduated Archbishop Molloy High School in 1992, but with my parents and much of my family still there, I will always be a New Yorker in my heart. So, it’s with this bloodline dating back pre-Civil War that I’m watching the Mayoral race with great interest. In two terms, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D-NY) has plunged New York City back into crime and decay. The year 2020 saw double the shootings of 2019. Murder was up 40%. Car thefts up 67%. Burglaries up 42%.
New Survey Reveals that Students Increasingly Hesitant to Voice Views on Campus
According to a recent survey, students are increasingly reluctant to discuss controversial topics on campus. Hot off the presses, Heterodox Academy’s Annual Campus Expression Survey Report* breaks down the details of its survey this past fall. Here are the major takeaways: Overall, college students are more reluctant to discuss controversial topics in their classroom. Average reluctance to speak about all controversial topics increased from 24 percent in 2019 to 30 percent in 2020.

TURNER: Every Saint Patrick’s Day Many Of You Appropriate Irish Culture, And I Am Literally Shaking
Celebrity chef Stefanie Izard got into major trouble recently when she did something offensive: she cooked. Posting a picture of her version of bibimbap, which is a Korean rice dish, the outrage mob blasted her for “cultural appropriation” because in the new America, white chefs cannot cook non-white food. So heated was the backlash that she issued an apology. Well, millions of you better get ready to apologize to me today.
Math Shows Wind Energy Failures Worsened Texas's Deadly Power Loss
Why did Texas lose power? Math — apolitical, non-ideological, and sometimes cruel math. During such an extreme cold for which Texas is mostly unprepared, the demands on the electric grid exceeded its output capacity. The majority of Texans heat their home with electricity, and, under typical circumstances, it makes sense. Why spend money to bring natural gas heat into the home when it’s very likely you can go an entire winter without turning it on?
TURNER: John Kerry’s Private Jet Hypocrisy
John Kerry, the Biden administration’s envoy for climate change, is being criticized for taking a private jet to Iceland in 2019 to receive an award. When asked by a local reporter if this was an eco-conscious way to travel, the former secretary of state replied, “it’s the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle.” Only choice. Somebody like me. Win this battle. Let’s take those three components of Kerry’s very telling statement and unpack them a little.
OPINION | Canceling Keystone XL Pipeline is a gift to China and Russia
Joe Biden’s plans to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline is a gift to someone. The radical green groups for sure: they have opposed the oil link since its inception. The trucking and railroad industry will benefit, too, because once the pipeline is stopped, then the oil will be transported in and around America by something with wheels. It’s also a gift to our adversaries: for who will benefit when America and Canada can’t bring their fossil fuels to market? The competition.
