As President Joe Biden’s polls stagnate and the midterms approach, we are now serially treated to yet another progressive melodrama about the dangers of a supposed impending radical right-wing violent takeover.

In most aspects of life, having a firm grasp of the fundamentals is critical for good decision-making and success. While we may not like the fact that water tends to flow downhill, anyone wanting to swim upstream better take that fact into consideration before venturing into the water.

Neither headline numbers nor reasoned economic assessments reveal the toll that surging prices take on many households. The non-monetary cost of today’s high inflation follows hard on the heels of the very different but similarly wrenching COVID-19 pandemic, and will likely have two profound consequences.

The unprecedented raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is a major escalation in the regime’s war on “wrongthink.”

In August 2021, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) issued an order directing mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for military service members. Now, because of this policy, the government is forcing some of America’s most elite warriors to choose between their faith and serving their country.

By all accounts, Attorney General Merrick Garland was shocked to hear criticism of the raid on Mar-a-Lago last week. It turns out that Garland lives in such a tiny, airless world of left-wing activists and sycophants that it had never occurred to him that anyone might object to siccing the FBI on Joe Biden’s political opponents.  

When Russia attacked Ukraine, “experts” said the country would fall within days. It hasn’t. One reason is that the Russian military wasn’t as effective as people thought. Another is that Ukrainians surprised the world by courageously defending their country.  

When COVID first hit our shores, we naturally looked to the CDC for direction. The agency may have previously offered its thoughts on how we should cook our burgers (well-done) and whether we should eat sushi (no), yet it was primarily in the background wagging its fingers at us while we ordered our steak medium-rare (another no-no).

“Self-silencing” — people saying what they think others want to hear rather than what they truly feel — is skewing our understanding of how Americans really feel about abortion, COVID-19 precautions, what children are taught in school and other hot-button issues, a new study finds.
