This discovery stands as one of the most significant finds in French history. However, Dupont’s joy was short-lived, as the government soon informed him that everything found beneath his garden legally belongs to the state. The discovery occurred while Dupont was walking along a stream on his farm and noticed a strange shimmer in the water. He dug into the...

Nothing stirs us to outrage more quickly than the combination of theatrical self-righteousness and brazen dishonesty from a cold-blooded liar. Of course, nothing of consequence ever seems to happen to such people. In Washington, D.C., they receive promotions. Tuesday on the Senate floor, Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California had the 14-karat chutzpah to speak of “truth” and “decency” after years spent peddling known lies about President Donald Trump having colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. “Truth should matter to us,” Schiff said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. God showed infinite mercy...

For sociopaths, their end always justifies the means, and it turns out that the most powerful people in America have no brakes. Anyone with a brain knows that there was epic cheating behind Biden’s “win” in 2020, ranging from official cheating (e.g., mail-in ballots, drop boxes, and ballot harvesting) to unofficial cheating (e.g., delayed vote counts, faked ballots, and illegal registrations). Pollster Scott Rasmussen has discovered something very disturbing about all that cheating: While ordinary Americans want fair elections, the “elite”—that is, the rich, powerful, and connected—don’t. They want only to win. According to the Issues and Insights editorial board:...

To hear Joe Biden tell it, he’s been a major factor in just about everything important that happened during his lifetime, and some things before he was born. The only problem is, we know he didn’t do important things and, more often than not, wasn’t even around when they were done. The truth has a weird way of complicating the president’s life story. But according to him, he’s the “Forrest Gump President,” always there, always playing a role in directing history. While the nickname is accurate, it’s for his IQ, not his participation in history.Joe Biden’s life must be wildly...

Outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that the threats he and his family get were a “manifestation of how bizarre our society has gotten.” Mitchell said, “Your life has been threatened.

Obviously, it is not at all pleasant. Yes, my life...
