At least, that’s my reaction upon seeing this on NewsMax: The World Health Organization says it is monitoring a new vaccine-resistant variant of COVID-19 called “mu” that appears to be rising in Colombia. Even putting aside claims, like that of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche at the end of the article, that our mass vaccination program is…
Seriously, at the level of clarity that Matt Hadro describes for the Catholic News Agency, any denial only compounds the scandal (see also Tim Pearce in the Daily Wire): President Joe Biden on Thursday announced a “whole-of-government” response to “ensure” abortion access in Texas, after the state’s pro-life law went into effect on Wednesday. In…
…and it apparently paid off (relatively speaking). As the saying goes, we’re all conservative when it comes to things we know about. So, instead of calculating for a 100 year storm, which was the standard, they took New Orleans’ rather unique vulnerability into account, doubled some crucial numbers and got the defenses designed and built…
I’ll be writing about the details in an ongoing way, but for the moment, I had to pause and express an observation from reading some of the materials for embedding critical race theory (CRT) in education. There are people with tremendous influence in the industry who are probably clinically psychotic and, in any event, should…
Glenn Reynolds posted on Instapundit some tweets from Meghan McCain saying she doesn’t recognize Biden as the man who “helped [her] through pain and grief.” She worries for the near future of our country, saying, “this is just as chaotic as Trump, just in a different way.” She can say that again. Trump’s term in office…
John DePetro suggests that the collapsed road in Portsmouth due to flooding looks like the result of an earthquake. Maybe it ought to cause a political earthquake. It looks to me like it follows a storm drain, which puts it in the ballpark of failed infrastructure. This ought to be investigated to understand what happened…
Progressive Democrat State Senator Bridget Valverde (East Greenwich, North Kingstown, South Kingstown, and Narragansett) tweeted last night: Today’s headlines about the Texas abortion ban and SCOTUS’ failure to protect Texans’ reproductive rights turn my stomach. It is a fleeting comfort to think how lucky we are here in Rhode Island that we finally won the…
Approval of Biden has crashed across multiple polls, as Nick Arama reports on RedState: On top of that, the latest Rasmussen numbers found that 52% want Biden to resign over the disaster of the Afghanistan withdrawal, while 39% disagree. But that wasn’t all. An even bigger number agreed with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) that Biden deserved…
It’s getting pretty hard to take this stuff: President Joe Biden pointed to the U.S. competition with China as a reason for America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, in a speech on Aug. 31 declaring the end of the 20-year conflict in the war-torn nation. … “It’s about ending an era of major military operations to remake…
This is horrible news to read, from Mike Brest of The Washington Examiner: Veterans placed more than 35,000 calls to the Veterans Crisis Line between Aug. 13 and 29, according to VA data provided to the Washington Examiner, which coincides with the time period in which the U.S. military and coalition forces were embarking on…
