My wife is a wonderful woman, but she has horrible taste in television. She,
at times, will acknowledge this shortcoming as “guilty pleasures.”One of her favorite streaming “programs” is the hospital drama “New Amsterdam.” It’s god-awful. More unreal than reality TV. This woke piece of soap opera pabulum is utterly unwatchable. Every once in a while, perhaps to punish me for crimes I am not aware I have committed, she will turn “New Amsterdam” on the bedroom TV before we go to sleep. When the latest overwrought episode mercifully comes to an end, I ask the love of my life...

The virus junta’s backtracking continues apace. And,
in all likelihood, the hits will keep on coming. Not that anybody will do anything about it. The bureaucrats who brought you “safe and effective,” masking, school closures, shutdowns, and zoonotic emergence will keep collecting prizes, keep getting pushed as “experts” in the media, and will be treated as the heroes of the pandemic. The Establishment went all-in on using the pandemic to push its agenda of censorship, economic takeover, and retaking the government from MAGA, and they succeeded in all three. So their pandemic response was a success. Little things like the...

The audio originated from an Institute of Politics event on October 26 of last year, which was hosted by Christianity Today theologian Russell Moore at the University...

National Institute of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins, who announced his intention to retire earlier this year, bid farewell to his role in the NIH by picking up a guitar and playing his own COVID-centric rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" titled "Somewhere Past the Pandemic." "Somewhere past the pandemic, when we're
free, there's a life I remember, full of activity," Collins sang in his parody. "Somewhere past the pandemic, no quarantine, we'll all stay well and healthy, thanks to a safe vaccine." The parody song appears to be a piece close to Collin's heart. This was not the first...

Hogg, who has become a left-wing hero for his constant woke posts on Twitter, won himself a place at
prestigious Harvard even though at 1270, his SAT scores wouldn’t seem to merit his inclusion there — Harvard usually doesn’t even consider applicants unless they have a 1460 SAT or higher. And on Sunday, the anti-gun teen posted a tweet about how he often sees homeless people as...

Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), uttered a lot of words on Sunday when asked by Fox News' Trace Gallagher about Florida's low Covid-19 numbers despite a lack of lockdowns or mandates. However,
unfortunately for him and fortunately for those of us who want to see more people see through these clowns, none of those words had anything to do with answering the actual question. Introducing the topic while filling in for Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday," Gallagher brought up a chart showing vaccination rates and new case percentages in New York, Maine, Michigan,...

It’s not just about that,” Collins said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.” “It is still pretty rare, but it is not zero, and we now have more than 400 kids that have died of this. So we have to think about that,” Collins said. “But also, think about what’s going on in that classroom for two other reasons. Even if kids are not going to get that sick, they can certainly get infected. They don’t...

On "Fox News Sunday," Dr. Collins spoke with Dana Perino, who was filling in for Chris Wallace. On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced new guidelines that students, staff, and teachers
at K-12 schools wear masks, regardless of vaccination status. Of particular interest and concern, then, is the idea of children under 12, who are not even eligible to be vaccinated yet, should have to wear masks. Such guidelines have drawn particular ire. As Perino and Collins discussed: PERINO:...
