American taxpayers are being bilked for billions of COVID-19 dollars

Russia plus China whispers world war

Intellectuals are proving bad for America

What a joy it is to be part of the intelligentsia these days, where words can mean whatever is wanted and data can be manipulated to show whatever is desired. But formal education should never be mistaken for critical thinking. Higher education should never supplant common sense.

Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis smacks down ‘COVID theater’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told a group of students to take off their face masks, and then he chastised, "We've got to stop with this COVID theater." The fact only some students, not all, removed them shows how deep the cultural damage from the left's exploitation of COVID fear has gone.

America, under Biden, is dropping the foreign policy ball

It's a fast-moving scene in and near Ukraine, but no matter the advance of Russian troops, the theme doesn't change: A weak America emboldens the world's hostile players. It's largely President Biden's fault.
