Is Modern Environmentalism a Pagan Religion? By Stephen Moore
The great Rush Limbaugh used to say that "the modern environmentalists worship the created, not the creator." I was reminded of that after listening to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once President Joe Biden signed the fiscally unconscionable $750 billion tax-and-spend Inflation Reduction Act, which gives another $369 billion to the climate change-industrial complex.

Secretary of State Races: Election Deniers Carry GOP Banner in Several Key States By Louis Jacobson
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
