America, in general, and here in Alaska in particular, the United States has a lot of the raw materials that provide that energy: Coal, oil, and natural gas. But the Alaska state legislature has spent the last few weeks tossing brickbats back and forth over the state-level tax deal that would not only get the new natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to the Kenai Peninsula going, but would also give the State of Alaska a piece of the pie.]]>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:47:33 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Alaska]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Energy]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/06/20/alaska-lng-pipeline-showdown-dunleavy-rejects-senate-amendments-calls-new-special-session-n2203551<![CDATA[The media's obsession&nbsp;with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has been something else.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:32:26 -0400<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]><![CDATA[CNN]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/06/20/media-reflecting-pool-nonsense-gets-punctured-with-perfect-reminder-n2203544<![CDATA[Earlier on Saturday morning, RedState shared the latest developments in the peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran ahead of planned meetings on Sunday:]]>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:15:00 -0400<![CDATA[Becca Lower]]><![CDATA[Foreign Policy]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[National Security]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://redstate.com/beccalower/2026/06/20/new-centcom-traffic-continues-to-flow-through-strait-after-iranian-claim-it-was-closed-n2203550<![CDATA[Healthcare costs are oddly opaque to most Americans. If you visit your doctor or are required to stay in a hospital for a stint, it's rare to get an itemized bill. Most folks' medical bills are, in whole or in part, settled by an insurance company or by the government. In short, we don't really know what a lot of these visits and treatments cost, much less whether what we're being billed for (or what our insurance company is being billed for) accurately reflects what care we actually received.]]>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:02:25 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Healthcare]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/06/20/winning-trump-doj-forces-ohiohealth-to-settle-price-gouging-lawsuit-n2203549<![CDATA[You can always rely on Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the daffy old Bolshevik from Vermont, for one thing: He insists on introducing all manner of socialist horse squeeze as proposed legislation.

But then, the far Left has always seen the Constitution as something to be dodged, in any case.]]>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 13:16:55 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Artificial Intelligence]]><![CDATA[Bernie Sanders]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Socialism]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/06/20/feel-the-bern-fail-sanders-bill-would-seize-50-percent-of-ai-stock-n2203547<![CDATA[You can count on the legacy media to run cover for left-wing criminal goblins, can't you?
