Commentary German scientists have uncovered startling evidence that a substantial portion of the batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine deployed in the European Union may in fact have consisted of placebos—and hence were not even subjected to quality-control testing by the German agency which was in principle responsible for approving their release. The scientists, Dr….
German Scientists Uncover Evidence That EU Pfizer-BioNTech Batches Included Placebos
All Racism Is Evil, Supreme Court Rules
Commentary The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that racial preferences in college admissions violate the U.S. Constitution. At last! No student with high grades and test scores should be rejected in favor of a lesser applicant who happens to have a certain skin color. The evidence provided to the court showed that Harvard College and…
Main Street Republicans Laser-Focused on Kitchen Table Issues for 2024
Commentary MONONGAHELA, PENNSYLVANIA—Last September, Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) told then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) that if Republicans were going to be successful in gaining the majority in the House in November, they needed to announce their pledge to voters in the heart of America. Reschenthaler, a member of the Main Street Caucus, a group…
Bidenomics Is a Big Bust
Commentary Word out of the White House is that President Joe Biden wants to tout his economic successes. He’s even embracing the slogan “Bidenomics”—which most people think is a term of as a term of derision and policy flops. On the one hand, the unemployment rate is low and millions of jobs have been created…
Dave Chappelle Is Still One of the All-Time Greats
Commentary I recently saw Dave Chappelle perform his newest show, which evidently will be his next Netflix special, and yes, it will generate more “bad press” as he would call it, perhaps similar to his last special. It’s amazing to me, quite frankly, how many so-called culture writers (and whatever is passing for journalists now)…
Independence Day Teaches Us That People Matter
Commentary The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important statements on human liberty ever written. Not only did it launch the American Revolution, but it also inspired freedom fighters all around the world. From Frederick Douglass and the struggle against chattel slavery to Winston Churchill and the battle against totalitarianism, the ideas of the Declaration have been a rallying…
Do High Grain Prices Provide the Seed of Revolutions?
Commentary A glance at history reveals a strong correlation between food prices and civil unrest. Roman poet Juvenal once wrote, “Two things only the people anxiously desire—bread and circuses”—that is, food and entertainment. Roman emperors understood the political importance of food, and would keep the people happy by giving them free grain handouts. But when…
New Zealand Beware of Complying With Dictatorship Demands
Commentary It seems that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is particularly sensitive to being described as a “dictator.” When U.S. President Joe Biden used the description, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was outraged, with its mouthpiece, the Global Times calling it a vicious attack. If Biden had said that Xi was the “leader of a dictatorship,”…
John Robson: What Would George Washington Say About the Current State of Affairs?
Commentary What would George Washington say? I can ask, even about modern politics, this July 4 because America’s first president was a man of such studious self-control that his answer, though furiously indignant, would be printable. As a Canadian I should also ask what Sir John A. Macdonald would say about our southern neighbour pondering…
Schools Can’t Compete with Youth Culture
Commentary When reading and math scores came out last month and showed an alarming drop in academic achievement, nobody should have been surprised. What else was going to happen when schools locked down, planted kids in a room at home, and attached them to a screen six hours a day? Did anybody but the most…
