As I said above, this is a double win for critics of Carlson and FOX News. Carlson is off the air. FOX News ratings have cratered. The question you ask is an interesting one. I'm not sure anyone knows the answer. If the reports are accurate, FOX has indeed lost a large number of viewers, but an...

I call them far right for the same reason most people do. That is where they fit on the commonly used spectrum that classifies political ideologies and positions along a continuum of left to right. Per ChatGPT, "The far right represents the most extreme end of the right-wing spectrum...

Quashing the Extremists The bipartisan agreement between President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy passed 314-117, with 149 Republicans and 165 Democrats voting for it. In other words, 73% of the House members who voted, voted to pass this highly consequential bill. The representatives...

Tucker Who? Isn't he the guy who used to be on TV someplace? What ever happened to him?

Some Republicans are Catching On "CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada’s Joe Lombardo on Tuesday became one of the first Republican governor to enshrine protections for out-of-state abortion patients and in-state providers, adding the western swing state to the list of those passing new laws to...

Representative Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, chair of the Republican far-right Freedom Caucus, said on Tuesday. “We will do everything in our power to stop [the debt ceiling compromise] and end it now.” So far, their power seems pretty weak. The bill was reported out of the Rules Committee last...

Your comments about party label, left, and right are helpful and clarifying. Thank you for that. According to the Texas Tribune, 145 Republicans voted for Phelan as House Speaker. No Democrats did not vote. They boycotted the election to protest the Republican-controlled legislature's...

You know Phelan better than I do as I do not live in Texas and I never heard of him until he showed up in the impeachment news. If he is a leftist Democrat masquerading as a Republican as you suggest, two things come to mind. First, are there no leftist Republicans in your definition of...

I guess whether or not Phelan is a Republican depends on your definition of Republican. To me, when state law says you are a Republican if you choose Republican as your party affiliation when you register to vote, you are a Republican. Further evidence that you are a Republican is provided when...

Texas state House Speaker Phelan is a Republican, elected by Republican legislators to the Speaker seat. (Source)

I know I said I'd stay off EO for 3 months in the interests of focusing more on my work. But this news is so remarkable that I felt compelled to comment. This afternoon, the Texas state House of Representatives, controlled by a strong majority of Republicans, impeached Texas State AG Paxton, a...

It's been a while since my wife and I worked on the road as expediters. What is the going rate for a truck stop shower these days? If I drove in and wanted to buy a shower with no fuel purchase or points, what's the price?

Time Out Once again, I find myself having too much fun on EO at the expense of more important tasks at work. It's time for a break. I'll be off EO for the next 3 months or more.

I would like to see that change. Nuclear is not the answer, but it is part of it. The sooner new nuclear plants are allowed the better. Since 2020, five new nuclear plants have opened in countries other than the US. In contrast, strong public sentiment that grew stronger over the years led...

There is something else to be aware of regarding this topic. That's not just the changes coming soon, but also the increased speed at which new breakthroughs will come. Electricity and the first computer chips made computers possible. Landline and cable networks combined with computers to make...

Are they producing no electricity? If they are producing it, where does it go? Someone benefits from it do they not? Not being fussy about having the latest and greatest, I generally get my phones for free. When electricity, the telephone, the automobile, television, etc. were gaining their...

That is partially true, but I've driven through some major-huge wind farms in Texas that are doing the job now. This is a post about footholds. It's not about what isn't being done now. It's about the clear path we're on to tapping into the free energy that comes from the sources you list. You...

Open your eyes, my friend. Free energy is all around us. I use it to charge my cell phone in the woods. It's used with our neighbor's outdoor security lights. It powers electronic road signs truckers often see. Think of what we used to pay for but now don't because technology made it free. Free...

While it is difficult to conceive if you have not thought it through, it is possible that the world will enjoy free energy in the not too distant future. At my age, I may not see it in my lifetime, but I believe it's coming. The significant foothold mentioned above gives me great confidence in a...

Wind and solar energy combined to generate 13.6% of utility-scale electricity last year. Sales of all-electric vehicles rose to 5.8% of the total 13.8 million vehicles Americans purchased in 2022, up from 3.2% in 2021 Source
