A generation of Americans is being raised on half-truths and lies about the history of slavery in America. They are given the impression that America was uniquely bad and that American slavery was uniquely bad. They learn nothing about slavery elsewhere. Among the many lies they are told are that "black slaves built America" and that America is systemically racist. Since the only mortal enemy of the Left is truth, here are some truths about slavery. AMERICA'S SLAVERY COMPARED TO SLAVERY ELSEWHERE If you are interested in morality and committed to truth, you do not ask, "Who had slaves?" You...

Businessman and conservative outsider Bernie Moreno launched his U.S. Senate campaign for Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown’s (D-OH) seat on Tuesday, in addition to a multi-day statewide tour to speak with Ohio voters. “Over the past month, I have been humbled by the encouragement of thousands of voters, business leaders, and conservative activists throughout the state,” said Moreno in a statement. “One thing is clear: Ohioans are fed up with the broken policies of liberal career politicians like Joe Biden and Sherrod Brown.” “I’m a businessman, a conservative, and an outsider. I know I’m the leader who can get Ohio back...

More of President Joe Biden’s family members are drawing the interest of Republican investigators on Capitol Hill who say they are dead set on rooting out any corruption surrounding the White House. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and other GOP members announced on Monday that they paid a visit to the Treasury Department following a breakthrough agreement allowing access to suspicious activity reports (SARs), which financial institutions can use to flag possible criminal behavior, for the Biden family and their associates’ business transactions. “Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business...

We’ve had a vivid illustration over the last few days of how Leftists live in a narcissistic bubble of their own making, and imagine that the wide world is just filled to the brim with men who think they’re women and people who are deeply concerned about pronouns and microaggressions. Bud Light was apparently so sure that we are all so thrilled with attention-thirsty pretend women that they could make one of them the face of their product and suffer no ill effects. And now the co-creator of RuPaul’s Drag Race is on a “mission” to take his drag exhibition...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)Nicodemus answered and said to him, ‘How can this happen?” Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony.” John 3:9–11 As we reflected upon yesterday, Nicodemus is one of the only Pharisees who ultimately converted, became a follower of Jesus, and is today considered a saint. The only other Pharisees who were recorded by name as converts to...

The Pentagon is not sure how many more leaked documents exist on the internet, its deputy press secretary revealed Monday. According to Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and senior Pentagon officials have convened daily meetings to “examine the scope and scale” of the disclosure, as well as to try to prevent future leaks.

The American Left is just Pol Pot in slow motion. The global warming scam is just an excuse to take everything away from you to save the planet. Everything? Yes, everything. New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Chief Climate Officer and New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Rohit T. Aggarwala today released the city’s first integrated greenhouse gas inventory, which incorporates emissions from the production and consumption of food.

There was a time in the not very distant past that domestic terrorists were easily identified. They wore white sheets and covered their heads and faces with white hoods that had pointy tops. More recently, there were those with beards who spoke with guttural accents, who walked around angry and filled with hatred, who had a genetic predisposition to destroying buildings, bombing gatherings, raping women (and often men as well) and playing field sports with the heads of those they considered enemies after they had beheaded them. This included their women as well. They belonged to the satanic cult that...

Yes. Earth has experienced cold periods (informally referred to as “ice ages,” or "glacials") and warm periods (“interglacials”) on roughly 100,000-year cycles for at least the last 1 million years. The last of these ice age glaciations peaked* around 20,000 years ago. Over the course of these cycles, global average temperatures warmed or cooled anywhere from 3° to perhaps as much as 8° Celsius (5°-15° Fahrenheit). It was partly through their attempts to understand what caused and ended previous ice ages that climate scientists came to understand the dominant role that carbon dioxide plays in Earth’s climate system, and the...
