It is a reminder of what can be, what will be, thanks to the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which celebrates its second anniversary this month.

I remember it bursting onto the scene circa 1985, marketed to students and young people as a highly, and I mean doggone highly, caffeinated drink.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Former President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, a flawed female candidate, in 2016, in part because he fought for every battleground state, ignoring the conventional wisdom of where to get the best return on his political expenditure of capital. To that end, he campaigned in Wisconsin; he breached the Blue Wall (the barrier beyond which no Republican candidate can cross-they said) by winning Wisconsin, a reliable Democrat state no […]
