The anti-science decision to lock down schools during COVID, along with other political choices, have broken education in more ways than one. Much has been written about students who have become chronically absent since the pandemic led some politicians to tell them schools weren’t important enough to remain open. But there has also been an […]
Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t good at her job. While President Joe Biden’s historically low approval ratings have many Democrats looking for an alternative, somehow, Harris’s poll numbers are even lower. How is this possible? Perhaps it is because Harris has a habit of saying obviously false things for transparently political reasons that make her […]
THE REALITY OF MIGRANT CRIME. There’s been a political debate lately about crimes committed by migrants who entered the United States illegally. Actually, there’s not much to debate about their first unlawful act, entering the U.S. without authorization, but much disagreement about how many illegal border crossers commit crimes after that. In recent weeks, Republicans have publicized […]
The University of New Mexico Foundation continues to hide public information from a sports journalist, even though the courts have already told it to hand over the information. So now, Daniel Libit is suing for the third time. Libit covers sports business for Sportico. The New York Times has even called him a “scold” to the Albuquerque university. “Don’t […]
The claim that the rich pay little or no tax is a lie based on fake figures. In fact, 50% of earners in the United States, those earning $46,500 or less per year, pay only 2.3% of total income tax in the U.S. In contrast, the top 1%, who earn $682,500 or more, pay 45.8% […]
British author J.K. Rowling is known for her wildly popular Harry Potter book series. She’s “the first billion-dollar author,” according to Forbes. Politically, Rowling opposed Brexit, described both former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as “extraordinary,” declared former President Donald Trump as “worse than Voldemort,” and supports abortion rights. She is also an unapologetic […]
When it comes to the historic chaos at our borders, it is easy to focus on footage of caravans of migrants illegally crossing the southwest border. Make no mistake — these crossings alone are incredibly compelling evidence that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is disregarding and abusing our immigration laws. However, an even […]
The fourth quarter 2023 crime report from the FBI, the federal government’s keeper of crime data, is unreliable at best and deceptive at worst. The FBI’s preliminary 2023 data show murder declined by 13.2% across the country and violent crime dropped 5.7% compared to 2022 levels. Various news headlines have reported the FBI’s numbers unquestioningly, […]
Last week, the National Organization for Women objected to women’s sports being reserved for females only. NOW needs to change its name — maybe from NOW to the National Organization for Misogyny, because it definitely does not represent women any longer. Not only is the organization advocating males in women’s sports, it is trying to […]
We owe many of our expectations of the presidency to the office’s first occupant, George Washington. He set the precedent on many matters, including his being called “Mr. President,” to his only serving two terms. Washington also set standards for exercising certain presidential powers. On April 5, 1792, he issued the first presidential veto of […]
It’s finally happened. After months of whispers that President Joe Biden is disgusted with Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza, on Thursday, America’s commander in chief demanded “an immediate ceasefire” during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. That halt in combat operations is “essential,” according to Biden, “to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and […]
Why would a multibillion-dollar healthcare company fire a white male executive for no cause, only to replace him with a black woman weeks later? Because the company’s Diversity and Inclusion Executive Council told them to, that’s why. And while the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has held that the fired executive is entitled to […]
