Science says natural immunity is better than the vaccine. I told you so

There is an old phrase out there among those who like to smugly remind you they were right all along that goes something like this: "I don't mean to say I told you so, but..." which is inevitably followed by gloating that they were indeed correct all along. Published February 7, 2022

Omicron variant may be good news

The Omicron variant of COVID-19 is among us and spreading rapidly. Is it time to panic? Is it time to run home and hibernate, donning a face mask and rubber gloves any time one interacts with family? From many of the media reports and from the doom and gloom forecast of President Biden, one would think so. Yet statistics and science tell a different story. Published December 23, 2021

The 1833 statue of Jefferson will be removed from the council chamber by the end of the year. Some New York City Council members have called for years to remove the statue from the room where they conduct business because Jefferson was a slaveholder. (AP Photo/Ted Shaffrey)

Canceling Thomas Jefferson ignores the facts

The New York Public Design Commission voted unanimously last week to remove a seven-foot-tall statue of the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. The statue, which has called city hall home since 1834 and has been in the New York City Council chambers for more than a century, was specifically intended to honor Mr. Jefferson's writing of the Declaration of Independence, a document that literally changed the world.

Biden’s America headed toward Third World status

Hungary official: Easier to deal with the Taliban than the Biden administration

Imagine a world in which people said what they really believed. I don't mean folks rudely disregarding others feelings and inflicting emotional pain and stress intentionally or needlessly, but rather that as part of a civil discussion everyone could dispense with political correctness. People could share their honest thoughts without hemming and hawing or fearing blowback. Published October 8, 2021

In this Sept. 24, 2021 photo, President Joe Biden speaks about the COVID-19 response and vaccinations in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington. President Joe Biden’s plan for a massive expansion of social programs is being framed by supporters as such a high-stakes endeavor that it’s “too big to fail.” It also may be too big to describe. A series of crises, from Afghanistan to COVID-19, along with the convoluted legislative process have hampered the White House’s ability to promote the $3.5 trillion package or even say definitively what’s in it. The price tag is sure to shrink and it's possible that components could change. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)

Biden paves the way for his own removal

It is commonly accepted - even by the liberal media - that the U.S. exit from Afghanistan was a disaster. Hundreds of Americans were left behind. Thousands of cooperative Afghani partners were abandoned, many likely to be killed by the ruthless Taliban. No one on planet earth points to the American withdrawal as an example of strength or diplomatic precision. The opinion on this is virtually unanimous. Published September 29, 2021
