I will attempt to answer the very detailed and frightening April 12 Correspondent of the Day letter from Dr. L. Fred Roensch. Perhaps a better title would have been "Despondent of the Day." He cites Bill Gates and the American Petroleum Institute as well-meaning caretakers of our planet by reciting a litany of creative means to save our children and grandchildren from his imagined horrors. My reply will begin with the failed but popular premise that we have gone from global warming to climate change. Why the change? I'll tell you why by citing Ian Rutherford Plimer, Australian geologist and...

Administrators at West Point are embracing the radical racial politics that have taken hold over many American campuses, according to documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The prestigious military institution will not only adapt critical race theory into its curriculum but will also use such practices in admissions. A West Point diversity and inclusion plan for 2020 to 2025 said that in order for the academy to remain competitive with the civilian sector among potential applicants, the school must appeal to the sensibilities of "America’s younger generation." Inclusivity will matter just as much as marksmanship, according to the documents....

Courts fined at least 18 people in 2021 for distributing religious literature, texts, videos, audio and items in places and ways the regime declares illegal under its compulsory religious censorship.

HUNGRY McDonald's customers were met with a brutally honest sign explaining why their Big Mac and fries might be a little late. The branch in the United States went viral after a small yellow sign that said their staff "didn't want to work anymore". Above the order here instructions, the sign read: "We are short-staffed.

Our McDonald's is savage AF," Brittany wrote in the...

Dr Surya Kant said it was only after Australia started including Ivermectin in its protocol for COVID-19 treatment significantly, the WHO started thinking about the drug. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently recommended that antiparasitic drug Ivermectin must be used to treat COVID-19 patients within the clinical trials only. The WHO sighted lack of conclusive data behind this recommendation, which is applicable to “patients with COVID-19 of any disease severity.” Despite this, some states – including Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Maharashtra – are using the drug off-label for not only the treatment of coronavirus patients but also as prophylaxis against...

FILIPINOS are googling unapproved coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatments instead of vaccine registrations as the recent surge has driven netizens to look for alternative ways to cope with the virus, according to a study by meta-search website iPrice Group. “This could be problematic for the country’s efforts to eradicate the virus, as studies show that an estimate of 50-80% of the population needs to be inoculated to achieve herd immunity,” iPrice said in a statement.

The full-throated roar of Buffalo Bills fans may be heard during next season's games at Highmark Stadium – but only if they are vaccinated and can prove it. Same goes for next season's Sabres games. "Our goal is to have a 100% full house for the Bills and the Sabres, starting in the fall," Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said during Tuesday's weekly media briefing.

Gay member of Vatican commission: I feel he'll repair thisSANTIAGO, Chile (ChurchMilitant.com) - Juan Carlos Cruz, a gay journalist and survivor of clerical sexual abuse, is claiming that Pope Francis is "hurt" by the Vatican's Feb. 22 declaration affirming Catholic teachings on marriage and human sexuality — despite having endorsed the declaration. "I spoke with the pope," Cruz told Chile's La Tercera newspaper in an April 10 article, adding, "I don't want to betray a confidence, but I know that the pope is a man who is very hurt by this, although ultimately he is responsible." It was Cruz who...

Darcy Schild President Joe Biden's administration recently announced that it's launching a new campaign to promote COVID-19 vaccinations, and it underscores the influence of well-known figures among their fans. The campaign, called "We Can Do This," is partnering with celebrities, athletic organizations like the MLB, religious leaders, and community health organizations to communicate the safety and efficacy of the nation's three authorized vaccines, according to the Associated Press. Biden's administration seems to have recognized that each famous face pictured in a post-COVID-shot selfie could be reaching thousands of devoted fans in the touch of the "post" button on Instagram -...

Nike announced today that it is implementing a program to remain Woke but not to go Broke. Nike gave $200 million dollars to BLM to remain woke but its stores have none the less been savagely looted by BLM rioters in recent weeks. Nike will be stocking their stores only with used, imperfect, and second hand shoes. Gently used shoes returned by teams will be de-scented and de-greased and put on the shelves. Imperfect shoes, such as Err Jordans or Lazy Lebrons, will be corrected and stocked. Seconds, such as pairs with unmatched sizes or single shoe pairs(?) or shoe...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited Joe Biden to address a joint session of Congress on April 28. New Presidents typically make their first address to Congress shortly after Inauguration Day, but Joe Biden is very feeble. Biden barely made it through a scripted solo press conference a couple weeks ago. “Nearly 100 days ago, when you took the oath of office, you pledged in a spirit of great hope that ‘Help Is On The Way.’ Now, because of your historic and transformative leadership, Help Is Here!” Pelosi wrote in an invitation to Biden.

Last year was an unprecedented year for natural gas and liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) markets. Whereas natural gas demand declined by 3%, LNG demand proved to be more resilient and managed to grow 1%. Nevertheless, the LNG market was extremely volatile, with periods of extreme oversupply alternating with periods of extreme tightness during the year. According to global management consulting firm McKinsey, natural gas is set to become the strongest-growing fossil fuel, with demand expanding 0.9% per annum from 2020 to 2035. While that kind of growth is nothing to write home about, natural gas will be the only fossil fuel expected...

The Spanish-language network America CV, which owns América TeVé, exited bankruptcy court and announced it was buying Caracol 1260 AM last week. It replaced Martinez less than 48 hours later, even though he was the host of its top-rated show, "La Hora de Regreso." He was given the news in a 45-second phone call, and when he asked for a chance to say goodbye to his listeners he said he was told "no," that he was just an employee. Florida Democrats, including Martinez, said his ouster was clear evidence that the new owners, who are still awaiting FCC approval for...
