In 1998, as nations around the world agreed to cut carbon emissions through the Kyoto Protocol, America’s fossil fuel companies plotted their response, including an aggressive strategy to inject doubt into the public debate. “Victory,” according to the American Petroleum Institute’s memo, “will be achieved when average citizens ‘understand’ (recognize) uncertainties in climate science...

And when I’ve been asked what my “number” is by friends or lovers, I laughed it off because I hadn’t ever considered counting a complete tally of partners.

The marching, the protests, the shrill screaming outside the U.S. Supreme Court, and the assassination nation attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh are not being done by those who are pro-abortion because according to The View’s Sara Haines on Monday’s show, “nobody’s pro-abortion” and “everyone is pro-life.” This ridiculous argument was sparked by comments Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz made at a Turning Point USA event over the weekend where he said: “Like, why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you...
