The Democrats are being steamrolled by the Socialists, and they are letting them use the big tent for the slaughter. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have been claiming for months that the young radical DSA candidates were a welcome addition to the Party, but the truth is, the leaders of the Party have as much ...

Today, on the Morning Update, you don’t hate the media nearly enough, and Dr. Robert Malone has provided a very recent example of this for your consumption on how the ‘Press’ used a review article to sell a medical fact that was never demonstrated.

The USA should be grateful to Comrade “MAD MAN” Mamdani! Human nature causes human beings to see NIRVANA (The land that never was and never will be), and NIRVANA is exactly the promise of Communism: Everything for Nothing! On the other hand, Capitalism teaches and practices the belief that with “Hard Work” (and a little ... Read more

Not to beat a dead horse, but the cabal of aisle-crossing objectors to AI is a stubborn lot. Ignore the threat represented by China and other America-hating international actors. Focus on the threat to privacy (not from China, apparently), logistics (water and electricity), and a corporatist cabal (but also not China. A few unpleasant reminders. ... Read more

Streets bleed red with self-inflicted wounds while the republic sleeps. Forty-five thousand foreign-born radicals flood Michigan asphalt, executing violent ritual flagellation to mourn a warlord dead for thirteen centuries. A foreign sectarian war invades United States borders. Shia zealots march through Dearborn, swinging blades and chains into their own flesh. This spectacle honors Hussein, a ... Read more

Moral relativism, relative secularism, and the idea that good and evil are subjective are always a pretext for evil behavior. It is, after all, much easier to excuse evil if you don’t believe in it. If the ends justify the means, then othering people and encouraging your base to do evil for you with violent ... Read more

When Vermonters vote this November (or, more accurately, when Vermonters vote at some point between September 24th and November 3rd during our ludicrous election-month-and-a-half), we will have to decide whether or not to pass yet another constitutional amendment, this one called Proposition 3, or “The Right to Collectively Bargain.” Just going to say up front, ...

Nashua residents deserve a city government that is transparent, accountable, and respectful of the people it serves.

I smell a lawsuit coming. Something along the lines of a First Amendment violation. Abridging the freedom of the press. The People’s Republic of Burlington, Vermont, has instituted a 10-minute rule in city hall. The City Hall Code of Conduct and Trespass Policy. It is quite unprogressive. For example, a city that favors progressive vagrancy ... Read more

Industrial safety is usually discussed through its most dramatic moments: fires, toxic releases, emergency evacuations, and explosions.
