On this date in 1916, Roger Casement was hanged for treason by the British crown that had knighted him only a few years before. Casement died for his part in the Easter Rising, but this Irish nationalist hero’s layered story has long made him a very different sort of cultural marker than, say, James Connolly. Casement came to public prominence for his damning report on Belgium’s atrocious treatment of natives in its Congo colony, e.g.: [T]he great decrease in population, the dirty and ill-kept towns, and the complete absence of goats, sheep, or fowls — once very plentiful in this...

It confirms what I and others said over a year ago, that that the Chinese Wuhan virus likely escaped from a Chinese lab where bats were brought from their distant habitat to the Wuhan Virology Lab for so-called...

As you’ve probably already heard, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser not only conveniently set a mask mandate in the city to go into effect the day after she attended a swanky birthday party in her honor late last week, but on the very day it went into effect she was reportedly seen not abiding by her own mandate. Bowser’s double standard was just one more on a long list of incidents where Democrats who either called for or implemented strict guidelines about masks were ultimately exposed as political “leaders” who don’t practice what they preach. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has...
