Commentator Candace Owens slammed USA Today's decision to include transgender Assistant Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine among its nominees for 2022 Women of the Year. "Whats a woman? I'm confused. I don't know what a woman is anymore. It is funny and pointedly ridiculous. It gets back to what I always say about progressives which is that they're always so progressive that they actually just regressive, right?" Owens began in a lengthy diatribe on Tucker Carlson's show Tuesday night. "It's the same with feminism. With early feminism, we were trying to create a space for women that was separate from...

The Russian sovereign has $117 million in interest payments due today for two dollar-denominated government bonds—one maturing in 2023 and one in 2043.

Transgender Indoctrination at School and in Kids' Movies .By Betsy McCaugheyMarch 16, 2022 Transgender Indoctrination at School and in Kids' Movies(AP Foto/Kin Cheung, Archivo) Woke corporate CEOs seem to think they know better than voters what's best for the country. These titans are throwing their companies' clout and cash behind activists pushing gender-fluidity lessons for kindergarteners and other extreme political causes. Expect this corporate activism to backfire. Corporations should be serving their customers, not trying to override the democratic process, like thousand-pound gorillas undoing what the electorate -- including their own customers -- wants.

Two years ago, we were hit with COVID-19. The national pandemic plan that had been carefully crafted for dealing with such an eventuality was in short order scrapped. Instead of focusing on quarantining sick people, protecting the most vulnerable, and pushing therapeutic or even prophylactic use of drugs like hydroxychloroquine that were cheap and effective we did the unthinkable. We locked down healthy people, mandated the wearing of useless cloth masks, forbade therapeutic treatment, and bet our lives on the effectiveness of radical, experimental “vaccines” that have proven at best useless. Our response to this pandemic was a complete failure....

The Eurythmics song “Sweet Dreams” created a nightmare for one Wheel of Fortune contestant on Tuesday. Chris Bryant was well on his way to solving a “song lyrics” puzzle when he mispronounced a word that was completely spelled out. “Sweet dreams are made of this” was the correct answer, however Bryant pronounced the last word as “these.” While Bryant’s answer was technically incorrect, Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox does appear to pronounce it as “these.” In fact, it rhymes with the final word of the next verse, which is “seas.” Until I hear Annie Lennox confirm herself that the lyrics are...
