Orange County cities are on the cusp of learning that their general funds are exposed to liability claims due to the Orange County Power Authority’s (OCPA) activities. [1] Supporters of community choice aggregation (CCA) champion its “financial firewall” as a catch-all safety net against financial loss. However, CCAs—which automatically switch consumers into their programs amid…
An Opportunity From Russia: The Wagner Rebellion
Commentary The Wagner Group, an international Russian paramilitary organization led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, mutinied on June 23–24. Wagner fighters reportedly occupied two military bases, including in the southern Russian city of Rostov, where Moscow has its main military headquarters for the south.

John Robson: Celebrate Canada Day With Gratitude and Drop the Anti-Canadian Propaganda
Commentary Happy Dominion Day, from the river to the ends of the Earth. It’s a bit archaic. But it sure beats Canada Day, where they smash statues of Sir John A. Macdonald and lower flags to half-mast because hundreds of bodies weren’t found, but if you say so they want to put you in jail….
John Robson: Celebrate Dominion (Canada) Day With Gratitude and Drop the Anti-Canadian Propaganda
Commentary Happy Dominion Day, from the river to the ends of the Earth. It’s a bit archaic. But it sure beats Canada Day, where they smash statues of Sir John A. Macdonald and lower flags to half-mast because hundreds of bodies weren’t found, but if you say so they want to put you in jail….

Will Vivek’s Plan for the Fed Work?
Commentary The existence of the Federal Reserve is a serious national problem. It’s funding uncontrolled debt expansion. It enables the global military empire and war. It tempts every politician and bureaucrat to believe that there are no limits. It creates the illusion that anything else is possible for both government and the big corporate empires…
Gen Z Has Been Failed by the Education System
Commentary Gen Z is “rotting” away, according to a recent New York Post piece. Millions of young people now spend inordinate amounts of time “bed rotting,” lounging about for extended periods of time, eating food, watching Netflix, and playing video games. But this “rotting” must be viewed through a broader lens. Gen Zers are struggling,…
Money-Supply Slump Spells Private-Sector Recession
Commentary Allow me to explain why we have not seen a recession yet, despite the collapse in base money supply. We are witnessing the stealth nationalization of the economy. What does this mean? The entire burden of the monetary collapse and rate hikes is falling on the shoulders of families and small businesses, while large…
Companies Should Focus on Their Products, Not Preach ESG to the Public
Commentary During the last couple of years, an increasing number of companies have subscribed to the environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework, promising to adhere to, and promote, the goals of corporate social responsibility and sustainable business strategies. These ESG-oriented companies embrace non-financial accountability indicators to assess the implementation of systems and processes that manage…
