Listen to top scientists and editors from esteemed medical journals and you can’t help but conclude there is such a thing as a “scientific establishment.” And it’s been as corrupted by politics and misinformation as many in politics and the media. In my 2017 investigation into “Fake Science,” Dr. Marcia Angell, the first woman to serve as Editor-in-Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, explained why she says a large percentage of published studies are not to be believed. “I came to the New England Journal of Medicine in 1979,” says Angell. “Starting about then was when you saw the drug companies assert more and more control until ...

How Biden's climate change agenda hurts children

President Joe Biden is for the children. At least, that's what he says in his "plan for a Clean Energy Revolution and Environmental Justice" and in his executive order on "Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad." Climate change activists have said much the same. But by their own metrics, there are a few problems. Biden’s proposal to transition away from hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas, and coal involves significant logistical, environmental, and economic challenges that flow from the acquisition, chemical processing, and refining of rare earth minerals that are essential for green energy. Moreover, the mining techniques used to obtain the ...
SCOTUS Wimps Out on Obamacare — Again

Obamacare has once again been rescued by a Supreme Court that seems determined to keep it alive regardless of the Constitution or precedent. Thursday morning, the justices dismissed California v. Texas based on the dubious proposition that a coalition of 18 GOP states had no legal standing to challenge the “reform” law or its infamous insurance mandate. The majority didn’t deign to consider the merits of the lawsuit, which argued that the mandate was not merely unconstitutional but inseverable from the rest of the statute. The Court’s cowardice drew a blistering dissent from Justice Samuel Alito, who accused the majority of ignoring decades of precedent in order to deny ...
For VP Kamala Harris, the presidency looks more and more like a long shot

The vice presidency has come a long way since John Adams called it “the most insignificant office” ever conceived, and John Nance Garner referred to it as “not worth a bucket of warm piss.” For more than four decades, most vice presidents have received significant presidential assignments. As Vice President, Joe Biden managed implementation of President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus program, and Vice President Mike Pence ran President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 task force. For most, however, efforts to elevate their standing politically have brought mixed success. More lost later presidential races than won them, and the elder George Bush is still the only ...
Rep. Massie: sell off the U.S. embassy compound, get out of Iraq

A Republican congressman called for Congress to repeal the Iraq War authorization and close the massive U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad on Wednesday. Both the war authorization and the embassy compound played a role in the near war between the United States and Iran last year. Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.) called the president’s war powers “disturbingly broad” in a Wednesday morning floor speech as he urged members to repeal the 2002 authorization for the use of military force. That law, also known as the AUMF, was originally passed to authorize the war to overthrow Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, but gives the president general permission to deal with “the ...
Heck of a job on border security, Kamala

Anyone who watched the Obama administration closely knows that Joe Biden failed at just about every special assignment given to him by his president — remember stabilizing Iraq and limiting ISIS, the Cancer Moonshot and gun violence reduction? Consequently, when President Biden announced that Kamala Harris would reprise his role as vice presidential problem solver by making her the border security czar, any informed observer could expect a debacle. Foolishness ensued almost immediately. Having been appointed the president’s point person for border security, most reasonable individuals would immediately head to the border and get some facts and show the public that someone is ...
Bring back Trump to call out China and the Globalists

Blundering Joe Biden and the Old Gang are back together again. For 50 years now, the Globalists of Olde Europe have been getting it all wrong. And Mr. Biden has been there pretty much every step of the way. Only in Washington could a guy like Joe Biden — who has been wrong about everything — rise to the very top. In the land of the deaf, dumb and blind, the guy who can still taste ice cream is king. At this latest gathering of the Globalist 7, world leaders basically just breathed a heavy sigh of relief that Donald Trump was no longer in their midst. He was not nice. And he did not like getting ripped off. Worst of all, he made no secret that his primary concern is the best ...
Biden’s illegal-immigration welcome mat caused disaster at the border

For the last few months, the United States has confronted an unsustainable rush of people attempting to illegally cross our southern border. In March, President Biden put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of dealing with the crisis. But Harris is in over her head. Even with an extremely friendly media, the veep often gets flustered and angry when pressed on the details — and the number of newcomers has only grown since Harris was tasked with stanching the flow. Finally, last week, Harris went to Guatemala and pleaded: “Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border.” But the message was too little, too late. For months, Team ...
‘Even North Korea is not this nuts’: Defector slams ‘woke’ US schools

A North Korean defector said she viewed the US as country of free thought and free speech – until she went to college here. Yeonmi Park attended Columbia University and was immediately struck by what she viewed anti-Western sentiment in the classroom and a focus on political correctness that had her thinking “even North Korea isn’t this nuts.” “I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think,” Park told Fox News. “I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I ...
My Top 10 media lies: Goodwin

Another one bites the dust. Another media lie, that is. The latest lie to die is the false claim the feds cleared Lafayette Park of protesters last year so then-President Donald Trump could hold a photo op. The Interior Department’s inspector general says police planned to clear the park so a contractor could install a fence, a decision unrelated to Trump’s walk to a nearby historic church burned in a riot. If the debunking feels familiar, it’s not your imagination. Only the details differ from earlier cases where the media mob got it all wrong. Sadly, the truth usually emerges not because of the press, but despite it. Take growing acceptance of the idea the COVID-19 ...

The Media Didn’t ‘Get It Wrong’ On Lafayette Park, They Lied To America — And They’re Still Lying

On June 1, 2020 and afterward, corporate media didn't simply get it wrong, they flagrantly and shamelessly lied to Americans in order to hurt the president. We were treated to what at first appeared to be rare mea culpa this week as reporters read the Department of the Interior inspector general’s report on the riots and police response in Lafayette Park last summer and appeared shocked to find that the Park Police and Attorney General Bill Barr and even President Donald Trump were telling the truth when they said the crowd was going to be dispersed before police knew the president was thinking of coming down there. It’s rare to see what looks remotely like self-reflection ...

Do they think Americans don’t listen? Or just that Americans across the fruited plain are stupid? Listening to Facebook executive Nick Clegg explain Facebook’s decision to ban former President Donald Trump for two more years is like watching a real-life Pinocchio who is so used to not telling the truth that the size of his growing nose goes completely unnoticed. The other day Clegg sat down with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who knows a thing or two about spin. Clegg, a former British Liberal Democrat MP, blithely looked his American audience in the television eye and proceeded to dish out one blatant untruth after another. The Washington Post, itself a purveyor of ...
Republican victories in South Texas prove once again that demographics aren't everything

Republicans picked up a victory in a heavily Hispanic Texas border city in yet another race that proves demographics are not the be-all and end-all in politics. The border-town victory for the GOP is a rebuke to identity politics from Democrats and a refutation of those immigration restrictionists on the Right who promised immigration meant doom for Republicans. And it's yet another sign that the future of the GOP is a working- class party. Javier Villalobos, the former chairman of the Hidalgo County Republican Party, will be the next mayor in McAllen, Texas. Hidalgo County, which includes McAllen, has seen a steady shift toward the GOP: Sen. John Cornyn lost the county by 24 points ...

(Maybe Manchin should consider joining GOP). Joe Manchin is being pilloried for the offense of being consistent on the filibuster. Back in 2017, when Senate Democrats were desperate to stop Donald Trump’s agenda, 33 of them, including Manchin, signed a bipartisan letter backing the filibuster in ringing terms. “We are mindful of the unique role the Senate plays in the legislative process,” they wrote, “and we are steadfastly committed to ensuring that this great American institution continues to serve as the world’s greatest deliberative body.” Well, the commitment of almost all the Democrats was not quite as steadfast as advertised. Now that the filibuster ...
The Science Suggests a Wuhan Lab Leak

The possibility that the pandemic began with an escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is attracting fresh attention. President Biden has asked the national intelligence community to redouble efforts to investigate. Much of the public discussion has focused on circumstantial evidence: mysterious illnesses in late 2019; the lab’s work intentionally supercharging viruses to increase lethality (known as “gain of function” research). The Chinese Communist Party has been reluctant to release relevant information. Reports based on U.S. intelligence have suggested the lab collaborated on projects with the Chinese military. But the most compelling reason to favor the lab leak ...

Having previously been exposed without being held to account, the Left is now emboldened. By Thaddeus G. McCotter June 4, 2021 The Left’s ideology actively promotes and preys upon paranoia, envy, and dependence. Parroted by its mockingbird media, it crafts and inculcates an alternate reality in which the Left accepts its own lies as articles of its secular faith. Moreover, the Left projects its paranoia, envy, and dependence upon the rest of the country, all in its lust to attain the power to compel and coerce its fellow citizens. But to believe its calumnies, one must abandon reason. The Left believes there are more than 50 genders, but that it is you who live in an alternate ...
Joe Biden has his MAGA: Make America Goofy Again

I’ve noted that President Joe Biden steers his administration using his rearview mirror. Whatever President Donald Trump did, he’ll do the opposite. He talks about the future but seems to spend most of his time looking behind him rather than ahead. You might assume this is a good idea, an instinct for self- preservation, because the president is an old-school Democrat heading a new-school socialist revolution. And such revolutions have a strong track record of displacing their leaders ruthlessly. Biden doesn’t want to find himself stumbling out of the White House one day crying, “Et tu, Kamala?” But his backward glances aren’t the furtive and alarmed type ...
They Lied, People Died: Media and Dems' Deadly Wuhan Narrative

The newfound grudging respect for coverage of the Wuhan Lab Leak story allows many of us to step back and walk down memory lane to recall how the corporate propaganda press vilified anyone who dared mention the narrative over the past year. Especially delicious are the recent "corrections" to stories from last year that attempted to "fact-check" officials who pointed out major issues with the official storyline generated by the communist Chinese government. When Sen. Tom Cotton and Sec. Mike Pompeo challenged Beijing authoritarians over their obstruction, lack of candor, and outright deceit in the critical early months of the pandemic, "fact-checkers" called ...
DeSantis signs transgender sports ban on first day of LGBTQ Pride Month

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a ban on transgender girls from competing in girls’ and women’s sports at an event at a Christian school on the first day of Pride Month, which celebrates the LGBTQ community. “We believe in the state of Florida protecting the fairness and integrity of women’s athletics,” said DeSantis, who was on stage Tuesday with several teenage girl athletes at the Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville. “... I can tell you that in Florida, girls are going to play girls’ sports and boys are going to play boys’ sports.” Advocates say the law prevents an unfair advantage in competitions, but critics slam it as being ...
Paul Ryan’s Impotent Appeal

Of all the reactions to Paul Ryan’s speech Thursday at the Reagan Library in California, I thought the funniest was the one titled “Paul Ryan Begins to Re-emerge.” I found that idea funny because the speech I heard signaled the opposite: not burgeoning “re-emergence” on to the political stage but, on the contrary, an almost comical confirmation of obscurity. Ryan is a careful man, well-pressed, armed with all the best clichés, and utterly feckless. He salted his talk with plenty of gems calculated to appeal to conservatives. He appealed early and often to the ghost of Ronald Reagan—understandable given the auspices of his talk. And his speechwriters ...

(It is scary what CCP can do.) On Wednesday, President Joe Biden issued a statement ordering the U.S. intelligence community to "collect and analyze information" on the origin of COVID-19 and report back to him in 90 days. A better approach would be for the U.S. to declassify intelligence related to the virus's origins immediately. Assessments prepared by the intelligence community can follow. The U.S. already has enough evidence to begin imposing severe costs on Beijing—and it must do so to establish deterrence. Biden's statement came just hours after CNN reported that the State Department's Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance had ended an ...

(Voting for Democrats mean more crimes, we all know that). On the anniversary of the death of George Floyd, dozens of gunshots rang out in the middle of the day at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, forcing reporters and bystanders to duck and cover. The symbolism was unmistakable — the yearlong bout of protest after Floyd’s killing has coincided with a surge of urban crime that has made gunplay dismayingly common. Indeed, the intersection where Floyd was killed, now a memorial blocked to vehicular traffic, has become a watchword for mayhem. The issue of public safety may be about to play its most significant role in our politics since the mid-1990s, the beginning of a ...

Dr. Anthony Fauci was absolutely adamant that the National Institutes of Health has never funded dangerous research on bat viruses in the Chinese lab suspected of being the source of the COVID-19 pandemic, when he was questioned by Republican Sen. Rand Paul two weeks ago. “Senator Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund ‘gain of function’ research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Fauci said in the fiery Senate hearing on May 11. He couldn’t have been more certain. Until he wasn’t certain a few hours later. That very afternoon, Fauci admitted to “a very minor collaboration ...
