By persuading the Court of Appeals of the Philippines to issue a scientifically ignorant and morally hideous decision to ban the planting of vitamin A–enriched golden rice. The objective result will […]
Back in August 2023, I wrote about a potential Seventeenth Amendment conflict in Kentucky. Under Kentucky law, in the event of a Senate vacancy, the Governor could only appoint a temporary Senator of the same political party as the former Senator. The Kentucky Legislature has a Republican super-majority with a Democratic Governor. And the Governor […]
In a recent newsletter, I fretted that disinformation experts keep failing upward into ever greater positions of prominence, even when their underlying research comes under serious scrutiny. This week, The New York Times commented on—and contributed to—the most compelling example of this phenomenon: Nina Jankowicz, who has returned from exile to launch a new disinformation-tracking […]
Hillary Clinton made shocking statements during a recent podcast in which she appeared to suggest that former President Donald Trump would like to “kill his opposition.” The former First Lady made that declaration during a conversation with Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias. She believes Trump will model his presidency after that of Russian President Vladimir […]
By Frank Miele for RealClearPolitics “Death to America!” We are used to that chant. Maybe too used to it. If you are old enough, you heard it in 1979 during the Iranian hostage crisis when supporters of Ayatollah Khomeini invaded the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) tore into the Senate’s approval of a $95 billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan during a speech to the chamber earlier this week. He compared the narrative to propaganda used to draw America into the Iraq War. History, he believes, is repeating itself. And it’s repeating itself on the […]
By Casey Harper (The Center Square) President Joe Biden defended newly released underperforming economic growth numbers. Federal data shows the U.S. Gross Domestic Product grew at an annual growth rate of 1.6% in the first three months of this year, down from 3.4% in the previous quarter. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released the […]
Politico reported on Wednesday that the Biden administration had secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine and that Kiev had used them in their ongoing war with Russia. Ukraine has long sought weapons that can strike deep inside of Russia, which critics argue could severely escalate the conflict. How much deeper can America get in this […]
By Bethany Blankley (The Center Square) More than 1.7 million foreign nationals have illegally entered the U.S. in the first six months of fiscal 2024, the greatest number for this time period in U.S. history. The 1,733,496 who illegally entered in the first six months of the fiscal year outnumber the 1,547,866 who illegally entered […]
This month, conservative radio host Glenn Beck broke down the extent of DEI ideology in the medical community. The examples came from universities from coast to coast. Mandatory seminars on critical race theory and gender ideology abound while tried-and-true principles of medicine are abandoned. Medical treatment based on individualized patient care has been replaced with […]
