Quo Vadis, Mother Russia?

In 230 years, the United States has never gone to war with Russia. Not with the Romanovs nor with the Stalinists, not with the Cold War Communists nor with the Putinists.

U.S. vital interests dictate that we maintain that tradition.

"We’re Literally Experimenting on Children" with Gender Transitions for Children

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that the solution in the debate over gender transitioning for children “can’t always be that anyone from a marginalized community is automatically right,” “Because we’re literally experimenting on children.” And “Weighing trade-offs is not bigotry.” He further argued, “If we can’t admit that, in certain enclaves, there is some level of trendiness to the idea of being anything other than straight, then this is not a serious, science-based discussion, it’s a blow being struck in the culture wars using children as cannon fodder.”

NIH Study provides the most powerful evidence yet that mRNA vaccines hurt long-term immunity to Covid after infection

Unvaccinated people are much more likely to develop broad antibody immunity after Covid infections than people who have received mRNA shots.  The gap remains large whether people had mild, moderate, or severe Covid infections, the study showed - undercutting a crucial argument that vaccine advocates have made to defend the shots.

Bye Bye Biden Disinformation Governance Board

The Department of Homeland Security has released a very concerning new report showing that radical abortion activists plan to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their law clerks once the decision overturning Roe v. Wade is released. The report indicates these pro-abortion extremists will also target churches and other places of worship with violence and vandalism.
