Thank God for the internal combustion engine
(Column ~ 04/03/24)

Protecting rural Missouri from the Left's costly climate agenda
(Column ~ 04/03/24)
On President Joe Biden’s first day in office, he declared war on American energy by cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have supported thousands of jobs and supplied 830,000 barrels of oil from Canada to U.S. refineries. It’s gotten even worse since then. While his radical, costly energy agenda is popular among the wealthy and most radical fringe of his party, it’s been a complete disaster for working-class Americans who are struggling to keep up with higher costs for everything from the gas they put in their cars, the groceries they buy to feed their families, and the furniture and appliances they purchase for their home. And as his new electric vehicle (EV) policy makes clear, he has no intention of abandoning his costly climate agenda.

Easter message I would ask everyone to read Joe Biden’s Easter Day message and then Donald Trump’s message. After reading them both decide which person is normal and which one is mentally deranged. Cardinals baseball The St. Cardinals are quickly finding out how far they have fallen. It’s only a few games, but against one of the best teams, they can’t even be competitive. Oli Marmol can’t put a lineup on the field that can hit elite pitching. This is what the owners wanted. Mozeliak gave them what they wanted — an average team at best with an outside chance to win their weak division. It’s basically the same team as last year, a last-place team.
