A core reason why Georgia is the #1 state for doing business and a national leader in electric power sector reliability. Georgia EMC #RuralGeorgia

US national security is a state-level issue & China is looking for vulnerable states to channel CCP interests. It's encouraging to see GA legislators respond to ensure GA isn't one of those states. Governor Brian P. Kemp Jason R. Anavitarte John F. Kennedy Steve Gooch ajc.com/politics/georg…

A White House event with two important powers, U.S. & India, discussing energy security, advanced nuclear, oil, gas, AI, trade & other tech development. No mention of restructuring economies around climate change. Realism is back in the White House. Donald J. Trump Bret Baier


TX & other states are facing capacity shortfalls & rate increases due to new demand. This is why GA requires an Integrated Resource Plan every 3 years-to ensure sufficient reserve margins for 20 yrs & keep rates as low as possible. Reliability has a cost. publicpower.org/periodical/art…

Am reading "Diplomats & Admirals" and found StrongerNavy. My focus is the national security implications of US energy policy within the construct of peace-through-strength (recent article below). I look forward to following Stronger Navy. Dale A. Jenkins ⚓ WWII Author & Navy Veteran nationalinterest.org/blog/energy-wo…

Encouraging interview w/Secretary Doug Burgum on US energy production & the shift away from climate-centric energy policy to national security-centric US energy policy. Energy is national power/national security & energy realism is back in the White House. Secretary Chris Wright Bret Baier


I heard about Commentary Magazine by way of Hugh Hewitt & have benefited from following. Yesterday I learned about the alchemistic effect Donald Trump is having on his enemies & about body positivity. This captured the issues quite well. John Podhoretz Seth Mandel youtube.com/watch?v=EQiTYY…

While many in the US want to prioritize the battle against climate change as America’s greatest threat, Taiwan has more immediate & acute concerns about a different battle threatening its shores. Hugh Hewitt twz.com/sea/our-best-l…

A US transition away from fossil fuels would put at risk 250-years of accrued national power & competitive advantage with incalculable national security implications. Article starts p. 59.

Thanks to NAPE Expo | NAPE Summit Feb. 18- 20, 2026 for the opportunity to write this article. The national security imperative of fossil fuels and the importance of fossil fuels to America’s industrial base cannot be overstated.

Appreciate National Interest letting me take the Pro Side of this debate. The national security imperative of nuclear is a first principle of US nuclear policy that we must return to. Hopefully recent EOs by President Donald J. Trump will reorient in that direction. U.S. Department of Energy nationalinterest.org/blog/energy-wo…

Why is Sean Penn taking up air space on The Five or any show? What does it matter what he thinks about anything related to US politics? Or, for that matter, what most of Hollywood thinks about US politics. The Five Dana Perino Harold Ford, Jr. GregGutfeld Jesse Watters


While many are asking, “What happens if we bomb Iran”, Harold Ford, Jr. asks the right question: “What happens if we don’t act and Iran develops a nuclear weapon?” It’s a question we don’t want to learn the answer to by experience. Bret Baier.


“Donald Trump’s biggest decision of his life. The most important decision he’s ever made” (Hugh Hewitt). If ever our country needs to pray for a US President, that time is at hand. This is a grave moment for the US, Israel and the world. President Donald J. Trump Bret Baier Hugh Hewitt


Last night on Bret Baier, Steve Clemons of National Interest offered his take on the impact of the strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.




On Bret Baier. The grid is the lifeblood of our economy. Under the previous administration we would have had no chance of powering AI & winning this competition. (My paraphrase of Secretary Chris Wright). Sec. Wright’s energy pragmatism is, itself, a boost to US national security.
