So, you believe in science, eh? Excellent, so do I. At the core of this science-thinking is the acceptance of the fact that there is reality. Thus, there are a finite number of things which are true and an infinite number of things which aren’t -- and our beliefs, opinions, and desires have no impact on this. All “science-folks” accept these as rather self-evident truths -- yet many of these same people also profess to holding liberal views -- even though modern progressivism is premised on many things which simple aren’t true -- which contradict reality. This isn’t a political...

There will be no Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2021. Organizers announced Friday the anticipated return of the mass event in 2021 “has been cancelled,” after it was initially postponed to October due to coronavirus concerns. According to a report published by Variety, once the move is officially confirmed it would be the fourth time the dates have been shuffled since the coronavirus pandemic began just over 12 months ago

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, masks were discouraged. Dr. Anthony Fauci proclaimed them to be largely useless, later claiming he lied to the American people in order to stop shortages of PPE for medical professionals. Yet, was he right the first time? As we get more and more data on the issue, the answer to that question seems to be coming into view. New data out of Florida has thrown yet another wrench in the mask edicts of the federal government. Once again, when we are given an apples-to-apples comparison, masks appear to have no appreciable effect on...

Guess how an arrested PLO jihad supporter is presented? It is well-known that the New York Times slants its coverage of Israel – in its reports from the Middle East, in its editorials, and in the Op/Ed submissions it chooses to publish. Israel is so often the villain, the Palestinians so often the victim, In the Times’ presentation of the Arab-Israeli conflict. A discussion of the latest example of the Times’ bias Is discussed by Stephen Flatow here: “New York Times Covers Up for a Terrorist — and Smears Golda for Good Measure,” by Stephen M. Flatow, JNS.org, March 9,...

Editor's note: Below is Part I in a 2-Part Series on 'Lies in the Cognitive War Against Israel'. Part 2 will run in our next issue. Richard L. Cravatts, Ph.D., a Freedom Center Journalism Fellow in Academic Free Speech and President Emeritus of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, is the author of Dispatches From the Campus War Against Israel and Jews. In the cognitive war against Israel, supporters of what historian Bat Ye’or called Palestinianism have come to accept the fact that Israel will not be defeated employing traditional tools of warfare. Instead, the Jewish state’s enemies, abetted...

It is safe to say that cold fusion, if followed through in all its implications, has the potential to unleash revolutionary developments in many fields of science and technology. Moreover, it is likely that cold fusion is only one of a much broader family of nuclear reactions – Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) – occurring in dense materials, which can generate energy without dangerous release of radiation and might be realized by relatively simple, compact devices. Judging from the ICCF-22 conference and relevant research literature – and disregarding various sensational, but dubious claims that continue to muddy the waters –...

The military government in Myanmar, in place after a coup provoked by widespread accusations of voter fraud plagued the country’s recent election, has now seized the bank accounts of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.After taking control of the country in a military coup provoked by allegations of voter fraud earlier this year, the Myanmar military government has seized several bank accounts belonging or affiliated with George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, and has announced arrest warrants for 11 members of the organization in the country “on suspicion of giving financial support to the civil disobedience movement against the military junta.”

"Living in greater harmony with nature will require changes in human behavior." "There's a lot of folks who think that, due to climate change and due to the globalization in general, it is inevitable that we’ll deal with more and more viruses like this," Dr. Fauci told Meet the Press. The "lot of folks" in question include the patron saint of the pandemic. In addition to appearing on every single news show on the planet, Fauci occasionally co-authors papers. But "Emerging Pandemic Diseases: How We Got to COVID-19" in the journal Cell is less of an academic paper and more...

Other than interdicting the flow of children entering the country illegally, solutions to this crisis are hard to come by.Where is Robert Francis O’Rourke today? In June 2018, while running unsuccessfully for Ted Cruz’s Senate seat in Texas, he was outside the gates of the Tornillo facility for unaccompanied alien children (UACs), megaphone in hand. UACs are children who cross the U.S. border illegally and without a parent. There was nothing for O’Rourke to protest about the children’s treatment. Rather, he was protesting the Trump administration for enforcing immigration laws as passed by Congress. Today the Biden administration is activating...

Drug kingpins have waited their entire lives for this fantasy. I told you so. It's become crystal clear I was right on the money. I've said for two years now on my national radio show that the best thing that could ever happen for the Mexican drug cartels would be a Democratic presidential victory. Mexican drug kingpins have waited their entire lives for this fantasy. They must be singing, dancing and toasting champagne right now, because President Joe Biden is the greatest gift ever bestowed upon the Mexican cartels. Experts estimated the money made on drug trafficking by the cartels...

Hardly surprising given that the ever lurking Harris is acting as the president and calling herself president while Biden naps........... =================================================================== Joe Biden spoke for ten minutes about vaccinations Thursday, with his ever present handler Kamala Harris lurking behind him. At one point he even called her ‘President Harris’. Only around 1000 people bothered tuning in again via the White House YouTube channel: VIDEO AT LINK............... Amid the squinty eyed teleprompter reading he stated “Now when President Harris and I took a virtual tour of a vaccination center in Arizona not long ago, one of the nurses on that, on...

“I cannot for the life of me understand some of the capabilities that they’re putting in the field, unless it is an aggressive posture.” That was Admiral Philip Davidson, head of Indo-Pacific command, in recent testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee. “They” was a reference to China, and as Fox News headlined the story, “US losing military edge in Asia as China looks like it is planning for war.” If embattled Americans wonder how Joe Biden might respond, they might start with the man who orchestrated the move to put vice president Biden at the head of China...

Vice President Kamala Devi Harris attacked her own country as violent and racist when she appeared on the world stage with Ireland’s prime minister this week. She kicked off a St. Patrick’s Day online summit by assailing America in what can be seen as a tribute of sorts to Barack Obama, a mentor of hers who pioneered the globetrotting national self-denunciation when he was president. Before much was known about a deadly shooting spree at Asian spas in the Atlanta area, Harris seditiously declared on the world stage that it was a hate crime. “It is tragic,” she told Irish...

A resolution to expel conspiracy-espousing Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House of Representatives, introduced by Calif. Rep. Jimmy Gomez, has 72 Democratic co-sponsors. Fifteen of them are from California.

WASHINGTON, Monday, March 18. The President sent to the Senate to-day the following nominations: CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, of Massachusetts, Minister to London. WM. L. DAYTON, of New-Jersey, Minister to France. GEORGE P. MARSH, of Vermont, Minister to Sardinia, JAMES WATSON WEBB, Minister to Constantinople. WM. S. THAYER, of the Evening Post, Consul-General at Alexandria, Egypt. G.W. DITZLEE, Agent of the Pottawatomie Indians. Mr. ADAMS accepted. His appointment is considered here a most admirable one, and there is no doubt his popularity at London will equal that of his distinguished father at the same Court, long ago. The appointment of Mr....

Melanie Joseph has been fighting with the courts for the past year after her son was removed from her care over a Facebook post where she was not wearing a mask. Now, she is pleading with the public for help as she attempts to take on the corrupt system. You can help and donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/liberating-logan Last year, Broward County, Florida Circuit Court Judge Dale Cohen indefinitely suspended parental timesharing of Joseph’s 14-year-old son Logan. The shocking move was because his father brought the court a photo of her not wearing a mask prior to an oral surgery appointment. Her...

How do you feel about set-asides for minority identities? Scholarships, employment opportunities, contracts for government jobs, slots at elite colleges like Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, appointments in presidential cabinets, and other wish-list items that you can never claim unless you are black, Hispanic, Native American, a woman, gay, trans, or a member of some other population that has been tapped by the magic wand of preference?In polls, blacks and women tend to support Affirmative Action more than whites and men. This makes sense: if a quota benefits you, you favor it, and if it disadvantages you, you reject it....

House Democrats killed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (D-CA) resolution to force Rep. Eric Swalwell (R-CA) off of the House Intelligence Committee. The House voted 218-200 Thursday night to table or kill the resolution.nThere were three Republicans who voted present, Michael Guest (R-MS), Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), and David Joyce (R-OH).

This came after a report alleged Swalwell had a relationship with a Chinese spy. This was another attempt by...
