AUSTIN, Texas (KETK) – Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order early Tuesday morning that prohibits state agencies or political offices from having a so-called “vaccine passport.” The order also prohibits organizations that receive public funds from requiring consumers to prove they have been vaccinated before they receive service. “Everyday, Texans are returning to normal life as more people get the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. But, as I’ve said all along, these vaccines are always voluntary and never forced. Government should not require any Texan to show proof of vaccination and reveal private health information just to go about...

‘60 Minutes’ falsehoods provide the perfect vehicle for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to prove that Democrat propagandists posing as the press deserve no heightened legal protection.On Sunday, CBS launched another attack on a conservative politician based on lies when “60 Minutes” peddled a conspiracy theory targeting Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. If wise, DeSantis will use this latest attack to launch a counteroffensive against the corrupt media, by suing for defamation and challenging the standard for liability established by the Supreme Court in New York Times v. Sullivan.As The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway detailed yesterday, “60 Minutes” ignored the real scandals...

Since Day One of the coronavirus pandemic, I have been warning and resisting of government control. Others, especially the left and their allies in the media, have criticized and castigated me for it. But time after time, I’ve been proven correct, both on the science and the danger to our freedom. A Democrat politician famously said, “never let a crisis go to waste.” Boy, did this pandemic really see them put their shoulder into that old axiom. From mask mandates to business shutdowns, from church closings to schools shuttered, there was very little in American life that was not impacted...

Everyone knows why Democrats don’t want voters to show ID. It has nothing to do with racism, and everyone knows it. So why are we playing this stupid game?In March, Georgia Republicans amended their state’s election laws in a weak attempt to assuage voters disgusted with their enabling of the 2020 election circus.

Welcome to Upstream Reviews! Posted on April 1, 2021 | by robkroese For a while now, I’ve been frustrated with what you might call the mainstream institutions of publishing–particularly science fiction and fantasy publishing. The Hugo Awards have been a joke for years, WorldCon and most other science fiction conventions have been taken over by the pronoun people, and now Amazon is starting to ban books that don’t fit within their approved spectrum of political thought. Many of the more conservative-leaning (or simply open-minded) people in this industry have been trying for some time to shine a spotlight on the...

... an old all-too-familiar thought popped into my mind: Please don’t let the perpetrator be Black. Alas, he was. And the beating was very disturbing.

A high school in Oregon that was considering changing its mascot to that of an evergreen tree is delaying its vote over concerns about the image's potential ties to lynching. Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School in Portland was renamed earlier this year after a prominent black activist and reporter who documented lynching. The school had wanted to ditch its old Trojan mascot along with the name change and settled on the evergreen tree after input from students and staff who chose from among 420 possible choices. A vote on the new mascot was set to take place last Tuesday but...

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Wyatt McGlaun, a teenager in The Woodlands, said he got Guillan-Barre syndrome a few weeks after his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. “I wanted to get the vaccine. I felt it was the right thing to do,” McGlaun said. “I wanted to travel and enjoy my last summer before college.” However, he said, he got extremely weak and had difficulty walking when he was admitted to CHI St. Luke’s in The Woodlands where he was diagnosed. “I just knew something didn’t feel right. It wasn’t getting any better,” Wyatt explained. The NIH reports one case...
