Here’s one of the greatest certainties facing every household in America beyond the proverbial prospect of death and taxes: Namely, the monthly electric bill, as it arrives like clockwork either in the mail or by auto pay. And, according to Grok 4, there are approximately 143 million customers getting a metered bill each month. Needless to say, the political hot potato of “affordability” does very much come to mind when you take a gander at the CPI electricity graph below. On a nationwide basis, electric bills rose by +6.7% during the first twelve months of the Donald’s second term, and that was just more…

The anti-Israel student group Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) posted “Death to America” in Persian on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran’s Islamist regime. The social media post was also in response to the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the New York Post reported Sunday. CUAD’s message read “Marg bar Amrika”: In another social media post on Saturday evening, the group said, “X forced us to delete our ‘marg bar amrika’ tweet in order to gain back access to our account but the sentiment still stands.” The massive joint-force military operation on Saturday resulted…

President Donald Trump’s expanding assault on Iran is poised to pass its first political test on Capitol Hill this week, despite emerging economic fallout and his own warning about more American casualties to come. Bipartisan attempts to rebuke Trump are likely to fail during Iran war powers votes in the Senate Tuesday and the House Thursday. Most Republicans and a number of Democrats — including Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Rep. Greg Landsman of Ohio — are signaling support for what could be a multi-week military operation that’s so far killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other…

The Washington Post is painting a softer picture of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against the oppressive Islamist regime on Saturday. Khamenei was 86 years old when he died, and the newspaper said the Shiite Muslim cleric “played a behind-the-scenes role in Iran’s Islamic revolution, served two terms as president in the 1980s and dominated the country for more than three decades as supreme leader.” The Post then said, “With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling but…
