** There's a 0% chance Spanberger is the best choice for VA families.
------------------------------------------------------------
Daily Signal ([link removed]) (10/15/25) reports: "While Democrats describe their nominee for Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger, as a moderate, she voted for a slate of unpopular leftist causes in Congress, from opposing voter ID requirements to amnesty for illegal aliens, from men in girls’ bathrooms to profligate federal spending...Unsurprisingly for a Democrat, she does not rank well with conservative groups like Heritage Action (she scored between 0% and 10%), Americans for Prosperity (between 0% and 19%), or the American Conservative Union (between 3% and 11%). She also received occasional zero ratings from the pro-energy American Energy Alliance, the socially conservative Family Research Council Action, and the anti-tax Club for Growth."

** "We are behind the ball on permitting, production, strategic reserves, all reflected in stubbornly high prices of goods and services. Market stabilization will return with regulatory certainty, and putting the FERC in the hands of capable commissioners whose only agenda is the doing their jobs is a necessary first step."

Europe will continue to deindustrialize until it kills its carbon tax.

** Bloomberg ([link removed])
(10/10/25) reports: "German chemical companies said high costs for carbon allowances are damaging Europe’s competitiveness, adding to a cacophony of sectors pushing for climate measures to be eased to help ailing industries. Leading firms including BASF SE and ammonia producer SKW Stickstoffwerke Piesteritz GmbH are calling for carve-outs in Europe’s flagship emissions trading system, under which costs are set to rise as of next year when a free allocation of certificates will start to be phased out. 'We are paying carbon prices five times higher than anywhere else in the world — and that is killing us,' said Petr Cingr, chairman of SKW Piesteritz. To Cingr, the issue poses a bigger threat to the industry’s survival than gas prices, which have retreated substantially from records three years ago. Chemical producers are stepping up their lobbying efforts against the European Union’s climate scheme as the sector has endured several years of crisis and faces the risk of further production
cuts, closures and shifts abroad. Germany’s chemical plants operated at just 72% capacity in the second quarter, the weakest level in more than 30 years. The country’s ruling coalition has thrown its weight behind protecting struggling industries recently, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz pushing the European Union to be more flexible in its 2035 ban on new combustion-engine vehicles in a bid to support automakers."

The future is fueled by American energy.

Affordable, reliable energy will always be a political winner.

(10/15/25) reports: "Leaders in both parties are locked in competition to encourage tech giants to put sprawling data centers in their states, looking for an economic leg up and an innovation edge in the early days of the artificial intelligence boom. Now, those same leaders are dealing with a downside that’s more apparent by the month: Those electricity-hungry data centers are a major contributor to rising utility bills for cost-conscious residents who have been concerned about rising prices for years...This is becoming clearer in her state — considered the nation’s data center hub — and New Jersey, which has experienced some of the largest year-over-year electricity bill hikes on a percentage basis. They also happen to be the two states with the biggest elections this fall...Some tech companies are now building — or reopening — energy sources to power their data centers, including in Pennsylvania, where a company is powering up the Three Mile Island nuclear facility on behalf of
Microsoft."
