Commentary

This column is partly a mea culpa. I admit it. I was wrong. I bought Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin’s (and to a lesser extent Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s) lies for the past 12 months. He said spending was out of control and this was causing inflation. He said he would protect the oil, gas, and coal industry from the climate change crazies in his own party.
