A real rock from outer space (not manmade climate change) is causing perceived rising seas. In the Netflix movie, Washington politicians “Don’t Look Up” because they prefer to remain oblivious to a special effects meteor that’s about to obliterate Planet Earth. Not surprisingly, the film is really about our refusal to recognize the “existential threat” of “manmade climate change.” Director Adam McKay recently tweeted, “We’ve got 6-8 years before the climate is so chaotic we [will] live in a permanent state of biblical catastrophe.” Not to be outdone, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called the latest UN climate report “a...

During the “Overtime” segment of his “Real Time” show on Friday, Bill Maher expressed concern over massive levels of government debt, said that we’re not in a pandemic anymore, and stated that it’s questionable whether we should have had such a drastic response to the pandemic when there are legitimate arguments that lockdowns had no real impact. Maher stated, “Well, we have problems we haven’t had in a very long time like inflation. And certainly, we have been running up the debt, but not the levels that we have in recent years where we just sort of went, oh, numbers...

Patients with advanced melanoma whose cancer does not respond to treatment with widely used immunotherapy drugs known as PD-1 inhibitors are often switched to treatment with a second type of immunotherapy drug—a CTLA-4 inhibitor such as ipilimumab. New results from show that these patients are more likely to benefit from ipilimumab when it is given in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab than when given alone.

It is often said that when something controversial is being pounded into the public via media headlines, there is something else that is going on behind the scenes that the public is being distracted from. This is certainly the case with America’s education system. While the public has been hammered with a full-frontal assault by activists pushing Critical Race Theory and gender ideology in the schools overtly, there has also been a covert assault from the flank called Social-Emotional Learning or SEL. Social-Emotional Learning supposedly arose out of the COVID-19 pandemic and a need to attend to the emotional psyches...
