It appears that Wall Street may finally realize that the phony SolarCity success story is coming to an end. Back in March I highlighted this Fox News/Watchdog.org report detailing all the government freebies they receive.  SolarCity’s own financial report said,

You know how we keep hearing about the incentives for people to “go green” for the tax credits?  Turns out those tax credits aren’t always going to the consumer.  Solar City has come under frequent criticism of its unethical behavior

The Republican primary for Governor is heating up with ads from the candidates and unaffiliated organizations.  Over the weekend a columnist for The Arizona Republic lamented that so far it was a “sorry set” of ads.  But, his reasoning for

There’s always talk of outreach to independents and the “mushy middle,” but what about people who just don’t care about politics?  Or those who think politics don’t affect their daily life?  How do we reach them?  An article in the

Democrats claiming they want to “fix” Obamacare are not to be believed.  As Sean Noble of American Encore noted, their goal is single-payer.  They will paint Obamacare as a failure of a “free market” system and suggest single-payer is the

In the Arizona Republican primary, several candidates are lining up to replace Gov. Jan Brewer.  One of them seems to be making national news for all the wrong reasons.  First time candidate Christine Jones has a problem with telling the
