(EPA) The ruling in West Virginia v Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) devastated members of the climate cabal, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). While she usually prattles on about “our democracy,” today she was in a “ burn it all down” kind of mood for the planet. However, it was terrific news for anyone concerned about economic freedom and human flourishing.
West Virginia is the fifth largest producer of fossil fuel in the United States and the second largest coal producer. West Virginia State Treasurer Riley Moore hailed the ruling as a huge win for his state. “Coal and liquid natural gas run this state,” Riley said. “The administrative state in D.C. had to be rolled back. The EPA had no authority to make economy-shifting regulations. This is a win for West Virginia and the country.”
According to Moore, with the fossil fuel shortages created by Biden’s energy policy, the price of coal increased from $35 to $200 a ton. A significant amount gets exported. One of the biggest challenges for the industry is losing access to capital because of woke ESG policies from many banks and investment firms. Despite these challenges, West Virginia is bouncing back from the devastation caused by the Obama EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
“The initial push destroyed many of the best paying jobs in the state,” Riley said. “Easily in the tens of thousands for coal and coal-related employment. Drug addiction and joblessness exploded in the state. The whole environmental crusade is a solution looking for a problem. Human flourishing is tied to two things. Good jobs and affordable energy.”

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
