Amy Swearer reports in the Daily Signal on what Americans should know about the Second Amendment case (New York State Rifle & Pistol v. Corlett) the Supreme Court will soon hear. She writes (abridged): 1. This case is about the right to carry firearms in public. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett provides the Supreme Court with the opportunity to address a very important question it so far has declined to answer: When the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms, does it mean a right to bear a handgun in public for purposes of self-defense? According to … [Read more...]
Your Survival Guy’s Conversation with Gov. Scott Walker
You can imagine Your Survival Guy’s surprise when my cell phone rang while Becky and I were driving to dinner. Not recognizing the number, I picked up anyway. “Hi E.J., this is Scott Walker.” • You may recall it was Gov. Walker whose yeoman’s work broke the back of the unions and collective bargaining in Wisconsin. Now he’s the president of Young America’s Foundation whose mission is: “[E]nsuring that increasing numbers of young Americans understand and are inspired by the ideas of individual freedom, a strong national defense, free enterprise, and traditional values.” Gov. Walker and I … [Read more...]
Your Survival Guy: Kicked to the Street in Boston
Yesterday, a Wednesday in May, clients were in town. The Mooring restaurant in Newport, RI, was packed. I looked to see if there was a graduation. No, just a nice day. Imagine what 4th of July, the official start of summer in Newport, is going to look like. As an aside, I checked out Clarke Cooke House after my meeting to book a table for any Friday or Saturday night. No go. They’re booked well into June—as far out as Resy was accepting them. Better call direct. How about the dining experience? Yesterday, excellent. But, on a recent trip to Boston, we learned you need to guard your table … [Read more...]
“Lunchbox Joe from Scranton” Watches Steel Jobs Leave Pennsylvania and Does Nothing
Joe Biden loves to tout his roots in Scranton, PA, and his connections to blue-collar workers, but he's watching idly as US Steel is pulling back on its Pennsylvania expansion. Biden's allies in local government have frustrated US Steel so badly that the company is taking a massive expansion project it had planned for its Mon Valley plants and going elsewhere. Salena Zito reports in Townhall: BRADDOCK, Pennsylvania -- Exactly two years ago, U.S. Steel Corporation announced that the company would turn its Mon Valley Works operations into a key source of lightweight steel for the automotive … [Read more...]
Gas Shortage: How About that Infrastructure Bill, Joe?
On-the-ground intelligence demands that you and Your Survival Guy get gas when you can as gas shortages hit the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, DC, West Virginia, Mississippi, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Virginia. Many drivers are lucky to get 87 octane, because that’s all there is. How about that infrastructure bill? It does more supplementing a bag of chips than securing our energy independence. Great. David Eisner reports in The Dallas Morning News on some of the "infrastructure" funded by Biden's bill: over $400 billion for elderly care and expanded Medicaid … [Read more...]
Minority Leader McCarthy Hammers Rep. Liz Cheney for “Relitigating the Past”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy castigated Rep. Liz Cheney for her continued pestering of President Trump, rather than focusing on winning the House back in 2022, something that should be at the top of Cheney's mind given her role as Republican Conference Chairwoman. Rather than recognize the anger of GOP voters towards her, Cheney has opted instead to please big corporate donors and neocon Never-Trumpers who are friends with her father. Brittany Bernstein reports in National Review: Representative Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.) doubled down on her criticism of former President Donald … [Read more...]
Tucker Explains: They Just Wanted to Break the System, So They Did
Biden Exposes His Own $15/hour Minimum Wage Insanity
This is too rich. Biden is telling Americans that they need to get off their butts and work, even if the job they get is paying less than government benefits. The problem is that current benefits are paying about what a $15.38/hour job would pay (depending on where you live and other factors). The push for a $15/hour minimum wage is being exposed now as a complete fallacy. The economy simply can't work with that as a federally mandated minimum wage. Maybe in some states that would be fine, but you are seeing in real-time the problems with one-size-fits-all government. The Daily Mail … [Read more...]
The Hackers Are Only One Part of the Pipeline Problem
How could a group of hackers on the other side of the world bring down the gasoline supply for most of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States? As you can see on the map below, there are very few refined product pipelines running up the very populated areas of the East Coast. Years of environmentalists opposing new pipelines and new refineries and years of Big Labor opposing the repeal of Jones Act shipping restrictions have meant a lack of new supply of petroleum products to the East where they're needed. If alternatives to the Colonial Pipeline had been allowed to flourish, a … [Read more...]
Pipeline Attack Exposes America’s Vulnerable Energy Infrastructure
We know from experience in Newport, RI how exposed we are to pipeline vulnerabilities after losing heat on the coldest day of the year. Now we have the Colonial Pipeline attack which supplies roughly 45% of the gasoline and other fuels consumed on the East Coast. Can you guess what the local solution for the future is? Moving away from natural gas by putting home heat on renewables and the electric grid. What could possibly go wrong? I don’t doubt Commerce Secretary and former RI Gov. Gina Raimondo’s sincerity and concern, but how about taking another look at that Biden infrastructure … [Read more...]
