A Disease X pandemic is on the way, or at least that’s what our global ruling class tells us. Yet, before we get our next pandemic, it would be nice if our leaders learned something from the last one given how poorly they managed it. In an attempt to help facilitate this, former White House Coronavirus Task […]
Personal consumption expenditures price index inflation, one of the Federal Reserve‘s preferred gauges of price instability, has risen for the first time since September of last year, another damning contradiction of the White House’s assertion that President Joe Biden has tamed the worst inflationary crisis in 40 years. Headline PCE inflation rose by 2.5% in […]
Social media has always been a breeding ground for conspiracy theories, but in recent years, the internet, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), has been awash with bizarre, fanciful conspiracies coming from all corners of the political spectrum. The Right specifically has been so inundated with conspiracy theories that many pundits and content consumers alike have […]
It is no groundbreaking statement to say that what passes for popular music today is vastly different from 250 years ago, when what we now call classical music was the cultural norm. But as the last days of Holy Week make way for Easter Sunday, I am reminded how, unlike today, the classical musical tradition […]
The United States economy is in danger of running out of power. After a decade of flat demand, electricity demand is set to grow by 80% by 2034. The grid and the Biden administration are not prepared. The sudden increase in demand is being driven by both the market and by politics. The market is responding appropriately […]
Ostensibly well-sourced reporters covering the Supreme Court seemed shocked that the highest court in the land expressed deep skepticism over the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine’s contention that the Food and Drug Administration has not properly approved the widespread dissemination of mifepristone, the drug that triggers a chemical abortion. “In theory, this should have been catnip […]
The Department of Energy recently announced that the United States achieved a record average oil production of 12.9 million barrels per day in 2023. To punctuate the point, the agency noted last year’s domestic output produced “more crude oil than any nation at any time” in history. Many apologists for the Biden administration have seized […]
This week, Christians give special remembrance to the final events of Jesus’s life. Called Holy Week, the period begins with Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, includes the institution of Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday, turns to Christ’s death on Good Friday, and ends with Holy Saturday. These events then all lead to Easter […]
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement of progressive Silicon Valley lawyer and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate on Tuesday sent shockwaves throughout the Democratic National Committee and President Joe Biden’s campaign. It also settled the debate over which party would be hurt the most by Kennedy’s candidacy: the Democrats. Fox News […]
An activist at a recent anti-Israel march performed a valuable service when he revealed what the real goal of the protest was. Spoiler alert: it was not “liberating” Gaza, a speck of land that most of today’s radicals would have trouble finding on a map. Remonstrating with a young YouTuber asking questions at the protest, […]
Exit International, the Australian-based international nonprofit organization that advocates the legalization of voluntary euthanasia, has completed a prototype for a suicide capsule machine that it hopes to soon make available worldwide. In truth, the invention is mesmerizing. Its sleek, space-aged design is straight out of a “Star Trek” movie. But instead of being hooked up […]
Don’t fall for former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s newly published call for “pragmatism” rather than “originalism” or “textualism” as the best interpretive method. What Breyer’s suggestion amounts to is the anti-democratic idea that judges should be free to twist what the law says to suit their own prejudices — that is, they should be above the law […]
The nightmare of Officer Jonathan Diller’s death should be understood as a referendum on New York’s current elected leadership, which takes every opportunity to...
