The LSD consciousness-expansion movement of the late sixties and the campus gender-identity fixation of today are two examples of these counterfeit revolutions. The two might initially appear very different, but they share similar intellectual assumptions and therefore make analogous mistakes. Most significantly, both take rationality and physical fact as limitations to freedom, impediments to be transcended, instead of appropriate cornerstones of political freedom itself. They’re too incoherent to be rationally communicated and too individualistic to resist anomie. And so, denuded of genuine revolutionary potential, these children’s crusades cycle through failures.

Historians of the future will look back on 2022 as the year America gave up addressing human-caused climate change. And given the United States’ critical role in international leadership, this will be remembered as the year the world gave up, too. President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda contained much of the Green New Deal, aiming for a 100% clean energy economy by 2050; making big investments in clean-energy technology, climate research and innovation; becoming the world’s leading exporter of clean-energy technology, and standing up to big polluters and greenhouse-gas emitters. But even watered down, it couldn’t make it through...

It was one year ago today when President Biden promised Americans that if they got vaccinated they would not contract COVID-19. On Thursday, after four COVID-19 shots, the White House announced that the president had tested positive for the disease and was experiencing mild symptoms while isolating from his staff. Nevertheless, Biden said Wednesday in response to a reporter's question that his plan to address a rise in COVID-19 cases was that Americans should be "getting vaccinated." The administration finally, reluctantly, has acknowledged the shots don't stop infection or transmission but continues to insist they prevent severe illness, hospitalization and...

The NFL, if it were being candid, would say it would prefer that the ruling come on Friday afternoon. The NFL Players Association likely would feel the same way. If, as some believe, Watson won’t get the kind of significant punishment that many had believed he’d experience, the league and the union have a shared interest in trying to reduce the backlash from fans and media over the perception that Watson didn’t get the kind of punishment that many believe he deserves. The Browns, as we’ve reported, are bracing for eight games. A person with knowledge of the submissions made...

WASHINGTON (AP) — For more than a year, President Joe Biden’s ability to avoid the coronavirus seemed to defy the odds. When he finally did test positive, the White House was ready. It set out to turn the diagnosis into a “teachable moment” and dispel any notion of a crisis. It was all part of an administration effort to shift the narrative from a health scare to a display of Biden as the personification of the idea that most Americans can get COVID and recover without too much suffering and disruption if they’ve gotten their shots and taken other important...

Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have found a material that can perform much better than silicon. The next step is finding practical and economic ways to manufacture it.Silicon is one of the most plentiful elements on Earth, and in its pure form, the semiconductor material has become the foundation of much of modern technology, including microelectronic computer chips and solar cells. However, silicon’s properties as a semiconductor are actually far from ideal.One reason is that although silicon allows electrons to readily flow through its structure, it is much less accommodating to “holes” — electrons’ positively charged counterparts —and harnessing both...

Consider the January 6th political prisoners who are still rotting in jail. They were allegedly a threat to members of Congress. Now, look at David G. Jakubonis. He went on stage with a weapon and attempted to stab a sitting member of Congress in the neck. He was charged with “Attempted Assault in the 2nd Degree” and released immediately. Yes, we have a two-tier justice system. Here’s information from his booking: – On July 21, 2022 at approximately 8:00 p.m., Representative Lee Zeldin was on stage giving a campaign speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8495 at...

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, July 21, 1862. The cavalry expedition I directed Gen. KING to send out on the 19th has returned. They left Fredericksburgh at 7 P.M. on the 19th, and after a forced march during the night, made a descent at daylight in the morning upon the Virginia Central Railroad at Beaver Dam Creek, twenty-five miles west of Hanover Junction, and thirty-five miles from Richmond. They destroyed the railroad and telegraph line for several miles, burned the depot, which contained 40,000 rounds of musket ammunition, 100 barrels of flour, and much other valuable property, and...

D.C. 'Traditionis custodes' plan to publish FridayThe Archdiocese of Washington will publish Friday its implementation plan for Traditionis custodes, a set of 2021 papal restrictions on the use of liturgical books that precede the Second Vatican Council.The plan will restrict use of the preconciliar liturgy texts at Sunday Mass to three locations in the archdiocese and call for “pastoral outreach” toward Catholics with an attachment to the older form of the liturgy, often called the “Extraordinary Form” or the “usus antiquior.” “In the time I have served as Archbishop of Washington, I have discovered that the majority of the faithful...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- When it comes to analyzing gun violence trends in Chicago, the numbers tell the story. First, for mass shootings in which four or more people are hit by gunfire in all of the United States, Chicago has the greatest number of any city – large or small. There have been 24 mass shootings in Chicago this year alone – which have left 12 people dead and 101 injured. Philadelphia comes in second with 14 mass shootings last year, followed by New York City with 10, Baltimore with eight, and Houston with seven. For cities with more than...

Want to get an electric car? Well, if you want to drive that upgraded golf cart more than a few miles to work and back, you might need to think again, particularly if you’re thinking you might want to drive it at typical highway speeds. Such is what Car and Driver found in its hilarious review of the new, electric Mazda MX-30. And that’s not some old EV that should be resigned to the scrap heap at this point…it’s the 2022 model of the car. As background, the MX-30 is designed to be an EV for the average American worker...

President Donald Trump spent hours in front of a television at the White House watching the attack on the Capitol unfold on Jan. 6, 2021, ignoring pleas from staff, supporters and family to call off the rioters—and even at times encouraging them—according to testimony Thursday at a prime-time hearing of the House committee investigating the attack. “The case against Donald Trump, in these hearings, is not made by witnesses who are his political enemies,” said Rep. Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.), the committee’s vice chair, at the close of the hearing, the eighth and last of the current series. “It is...

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 20, 2022 / When the COVID-19 pandemic surged, many schools throughout the country closed forcing many parents to turn to homeschooling as an option to educate their children. Researchers predicted that the high number of parents who were homeschooling their children would decrease after the schools reopened. However, this prediction is proving to be just the opposite. In the 18 states that shared data through the current school year, there was a 63% increase in homeschooling during the 2020-2021 school year, with only a decrease of 17% for the 2021-2022 school year.For students,...

The U.S. House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol on Thursday highlighted footage of U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, fleeing the Senate Chamber as the building was being overrun by a mob of Trump supporters. The video served as a rebuke to the image Hawley projected that day, when he was captured in a photograph confidently raising his fist to protesters who would later violently break into the U.S. Capitol building.

The January 6 Committee’s eighth public hearing Thursday produced testimony that there was a “heated discussion” between then-President Donald Trump and the Secret Service during the Capitol riot — not that Trump tried to seize the wheel of the presidential vehicle. The testimony was a significant step back from claims last month by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson — based on hearsay — that Trump had tried to wrest control of the vehicle from the Secret Service. Hutchinson’s claimed were immediately disputed by the Secret Service agents she named, Tony Ornato and Bobby Engel. Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) cited...
