‘It’s My Legal Duty to Safeguard Children Against Harm’: British Headmaster

By introducing children to knives, skinning rabbits, and shooting guns, Mike Fairclough isn’t a typical British headmaster. His approach to teaching has brought him criticism in the past, but it is his insistence on speaking out against lockdowns and COVID-19 vaccines for children that has become his biggest challenge. Fairclough has 20 years’ experience in…


Capitol Report (July 29): House Passes Bill to Ban Semi-Automatic Guns; Pelosi Heads to Asia

The Democrat-controlled House pushed a bill to ban certain guns. Democrats say it’s needed to stop gun violence, while Republicans say it targets law-abiding citizens. The Biden administration seems to be acquiescing to calls to secure the southern border. Without walking back any of President Joe Biden’s campaign promises, the Biden administration released a quiet…


A Recession of the Human Spirit

Commentary As predicted, the Biden administration has spent the better part of the week explaining that tomorrow’s GDP report on the 2nd quarter, even if it is negative, does not mean we are in a recession. In his ham-handed way, Biden made it very plain: “We’re not going to be in a recession.” These days,…


The Small Print That Destroyed America

Commentary In a maddening interview yesterday, Anthony Fauci performed his usual song and dance when faced with even the most mild questioning. He stonewalled in his trademarked way. He spoke in long, drawn-out sentences, emphasizing the word consonants, punctuated by pauses and silences that convey the sense of precision without the reality. He strung together…


The 1968-69 ‘Hong Kong Flu’ Pandemic Revisited

Commentary It was a very bad year for the flu. The pathogen came in two large waves. This is only obvious in retrospect. At the time, not so much. Life went on as normal. There were gatherings. There were parties. There was travel. There were no masks. Doctors treated the sick. Traditional public health reigned…


Dr. Birx Praises Herself While Revealing Ignorance, Treachery, and Deceit

Commentary The December 2020 resignation of Dr. Deborah Birx, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator under Trump, revealed predictable hypocrisy. Like so many other government officials around the world, she was caught violating her own stay-at-home order. Therefore she finally left her post following nine months of causing unfathomable amounts of damage to life, liberty, property,…


Why Is Economic Science So Isolated?

Commentary In Deborah Birx’s revealing book (“Silent Invasion”) on her role in the pandemic response, she continually pits public health against economic concerns. The opposition to lockdowns within the White House came entirely from the economics team. It drove her nuts. “I saw the economic consequences as a ‘tomorrow issue,’ while human life was a…


Pandemic Has Affected Australians Eye Health as Lock Downs Increase Screen Time

Most Australians have at least one problem with their eyes, with almost one in three admitting too much screen time during the pandemic affected their vision. While lockdowns across the country slowed the spread of COVID, it more than doubled the amount of time Australians spent with their eyes glued to the small screen. The…


Boris Johnson Ordered to Hand Documents to Parliamentary Committee Probing Partygate Scandal

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been ordered to hand over a cache of documents to MPs investigating whether he lied to Parliament over the so-called partygate scandal. Johnson, who is set to step down as prime minister in early September, still faces an inquiry by the Privileges Committee into whether he deliberately misled Parliament…


Is a Serious Financial Crisis Next?

Commentary Be grateful for what did not happen. Two and a half years ago, governments around the world took the unprecedented step of “shutting down” their economies, which means the extreme control of people and their choices. This has proven to be devastating to prosperity, education, culture, health, and the prospects for liberty. Anyone could…
