Expensive State Clean Energy Mandates: The Math Nobody Ran
Thirteen states from Vermont to Hawaii have written a hard deadline into law: 100 percent carbon-free (CO2-free) or “clean” electricity, most by 2040 or 2045. Lawmakers sold these mandates as a bargain: cheaper power alongside cleaner air. Voters in those states are struggling with ever-increasing electricity bills. Which are increasing faster than non-mandate states. The metric politicians lean o

Conservative Account Criticizes ABC News for Highlighting Victim’s Race but Omitting Suspect’s in Mississippi Murder Case
The @EndWokeness post quotes an ABC News report on a man pleading not guilty to the murder of a 29-year-old Black woman found hanging from a tree in Mississippi. It questions why the outlet specified the victim’s race while omitting the suspect’s (stating he is Black) and implies selective reporting. It is drawing attention in anti-woke and conservative circles on X amid ongoing debates over media coverage of interracial vs. same-race crime and historical lynching narratives.
