"I miss when we had a President who didn’t single out six year olds and compliment their legs while giving speeches," GOP Rep. Lauren Bobert tweeted. President Biden drew wrath on social media responding to comments he made about a little girl's appearance and demeanor. "I love those barrettes in your hair, man. I tell you what — and look at her; she looks like she’s 19 years old, sitting there with her — like a little lady with her legs crossed," Biden said during a Friday event on a Virginia military base, according to the White House transcript.

On Memorial Day weekend, we celebrate courage, specifically that of the men who died fighting for the greatest country in the history of the world. Once upon a time in Hollywood, such bravery was taken for granted. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, even the most popular male movie stars quit their lucrative studio contracts to join unknown men in uniform, dirt, and combat. It didn’t matter to Clark Gable that he was “the king of Hollywood” and had just nailed the most iconic role of his career as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind. He became Lt....

Two Republicans—Reps. Michelle Udall of Mesa and Joel John of Buckeye—provided the margin for the Democrat minority to defeat a bill requiring a voter ID for mail-in ballots.

John pointed out that "by killing this bill we are saving a lot of paperwork for county election officials." Democrat Rep. Jasmine Blackwater-Nygren argued that "the bill is a violation of the secret ballot principle. In a democracy the voter has a...

Catholic Cancel Culture In an effort led by the pope, the Church is waging an all-out assault on its most orthodox believers.Before his election to the papacy, Jorge Bergoglio had already earned a reputation as an exponent of “pastoral” Catholicism. But out of it came few pastors, as those familiar with his tenure as archbishop of Buenos Aires knew. They noted that his local seminary was suffering from a small number of vocations.

Researchers affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania have found that the drug diABZI was highly effective at preventing severe COVID-19 symptoms in mice that were infected with multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, as described in their paper published in Science Immunology on May 18. The researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 hides to avoid the activation of interferons, which are proteins that signal the presence of a virus, in the respiratory tract's epithelial cells. This results in a delayed immune response, which allows the virus to infect the respiratory tract. The researchers sought out to look into additional immune pathways. They looked at diABZI,...

Nonetheless, Biden administration officials are working very hard to re-join the 2015 JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), a deal which supposedly limited Iran’s race to nuclear weapons while simultaneously both releasing tons of money to Iran and eliminating harsh economic...
