Commentary California keeps barreling ahead—in an electric vehicle, of course—pushing “decarbonization.” The Sacramento Bee headlined April 19, “Climate bills on fossil fuel divestment, emissions disclosure make headway.” But what’s the rest of the world doing? Everybody knows it’s dangerous to depend on Communist China for all those lithium batteries powering the decarbonized economy. Bloomberg reported…
ANALYSIS: Trump Racks Up Congressional Endorsements While DeSantis Faces Trouble at Home

Ron DeSantis’s territory, notching several endorsements by Florida House lawmakers in recent days as the former commander-in-chief continues to hold a significant endorsement edge over the Republican governor.

‘Mario Bros.’ Is Tracking Toward $1 Billion Box Office. But Is It Really ‘Anti-Woke’?
Commentary My wife and I recently took our three kids to see “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” the new CGI blockbuster starring Chris Pratt (Mario) and Anya Taylor-Joy (Princess Peach). I don’t know if the movie was worth the $80 I spent on snacks, but I can say it’s a good flick—even though I missed…

Commentary Selling defence and national security information is a serious matter. From a national security and defence perspective, you can’t get much more serious. Selling it to a less-than-friendly player is to be treated even more seriously. So what are we to make of the allegations (and let’s remember that is all it is at…
