The Guardian reported this week that a majority of the recent COVID deaths in the UK had received the COVID vaccination.

Don’t Bring Wokeism to Our Country!France Rejects American-Style Culture WarsEarlier this year, the New York Times ran an article about criticisms of the “out-of-control woke leftism of American campuses and its attendant cancel culture.” They talked about a group alleging that the Woke were using race, gender, and post-colonialism to “bulldoze’’ all subjects, reducing whole academic disciplines to trite cliches and simple binaries.Who was this anti-woke group the New York Times saw fit to report on? The answer might surprise you. It was “French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists” including President Emmanuel Macron.French concern about Wokeism was echoed again this...

Although a record-high 89% of Americans now say the coronavirus situation is improving, most are not yet ready to declare the pandemic over in the U.S. More than twice as many think the pandemic is not yet over (71%) than think it is over (29%).Republicans are far more likely (57%) than Democrats (4%) to say the pandemic is over, but significant differences also exist by gender, age and region of the country.These findings are from Gallup's June 14-20 probability-based web panel survey, which was conducted as increased vaccinations in the U.S. resulted in declining COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths. These...

Canceling Western CivilizationWoke Fundamentalism’s Iconoclasm Is Just as Destructive as ISIS’sIn the spring of 2015, as ISIS forces made their way to the historic Syrian city of Palmyra, town officials became concerned for the safety of their historic treasures, which included priceless statuary and other artifacts from antiquity. Knowing that ISIS militants disdain the heritage of the past, and consider statues a form of idolatry, city officials sought to save their treasures from pillage by hiding them outside the city.Even though ISIS jihadists believe artworks to be idolatrous, they are not above selling them on the black market to turn...

Higher oil prices and capital expenditure discipline are setting the stage for the highest free cash flow on record for the world’s exploration and production companies this year. And U.S. shale firms—set to generate $60 billion free cash flow—are primed for playing a key role in the record-breaking free cash flow from global upstream operations. The U.S. shale patch is expected to be the biggest beneficiary of capex discipline and high oil prices, as well as the largest contributor to the highest-ever free cash flows from the upstream business globally, independent research firm Rystad Energy said in a new report.$70...

The Green New Deal is bearing down on us with irreversible consequences. This documentary destroys the lefts case for ruining the world with a sort of religion that doesn't work and has proven it doesn't work. The movie has been squelched by the left so the truth will never come to light. They show the lies and the money makers making money so we will never know what happened before all the money is made and the western countries collapse allowing China and other practical thinkers take over the gullible left. The left's idea of a solution, of course, is...

The climate doom-mongers at The New York Times must now face the reality that their decades-old eco-Armageddon predictions were flat out wrong. The Times screeched in a 1995 story how “some of the predicted effects of climate change may now be emerging for the first time or with increasing clarity.” One of the predictions included a “[a] continuing rise in average global sea level, which is likely to amount to more than a foot and a half by the year 2100.” The Times then cautioned that an apocalypse for beach-goers would be a likely result: “At the most likely rate...

In truth, data has just been released from the UK showing that vaccinated people are three times more likely to die from infection by the delta variant than unvaccinated people.The June 22 comments by Fauci included the facts about the level...

A new Gallup survey finds that only three in 10 Americans think the pandemic is over. But by a purely scientific measure in the United States, it sure seems like the worst is over. New cases have been in steady decline since late March, with a few regional spikes. Many retailers have abandoned mask mandates and restaurants are essentially back to full capacity in areas where restrictions have been completely lifted. And none of the doomsday scenarios happened. Not even when Governor Brian Kemp decided to reopen Georgia, to the dismay and criticism of everyone from President Trump to MSNBC....

House Democrats shot down a GOP motion earlier this month that sought to bar corporate cooperation with Chinese slave labor.The Motion to Recommit proposed by Kentucky Republican Rep. Andy Barr amending a Democrat bill on corporate disclosure would have required businesses to report to the Treasury Department if they discover a supplier or other business partner was found using forced labor.Two-hundred and seventeen Democrats rejected the measure and the amendment failed.

"I have every confidence that Nancy working in conjunction with [Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden and others, including people like [Sen.] Joe Manchin, are going to figure...
