    Rand Paul Isn’t Buying Fauci’s Tale of NY COVID Success0

    Sparks flew on Capitol Hill this week when Sen. Rand Paul questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, over the doctor’s praise of New York’s COVID-19 response. During a Senate committee hearing, the Kentucky Senator asked Dr. Fauci how he could laud New York’s lockdown policies when the Empire state has “the

    Black Fathers: Where Are You?0

    In a new low for popular culture, it’s now a thing to film yourself on Tik Tok listening to Blueface rap about abortion in his song “Baby,” then literally throwing your baby off-camera, and finally twerking for your viewers. Here’s an example: So Blueface is promoting a TikTok challenge where you toss an actual baby/toddler

    Why So Much Science is Wrong, False, Puffed, or Misleading0

    In a year where scientists seemed to have gotten everything wrong, a book attempting to explain why is bizarrely relevant. Of course, science was in deep trouble long before the pandemic began and Stuart Ritchie’s excellent Science Fictions: How Fraud, Bias, Negligence, and Hype Undermine the Search for Truth had been long in the making.

    The Case of the Silent Voter0

    By now you may have heard of the silent voter. The silent voter is nothing new. The New York Times identified this phenomenon way back in November of 1886, describing it as “the vote which helps make what are called tidal waves in politics.” In more recent years, the silent voter seems to reside in

    Garden or Graveyard: What Will Be Our Legacy?0

    This morning I came across the following quote by Ray Bradbury while looking for his observation: “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture.

    Two police officers have been shot in Louisville as mobs ransacked local businesses. The mob did not get the murder charge they wanted and now are taking things into their own hands.

    The organization Black Lives Matter has removed from its website a page that included language condemning America’s “Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.” The page, titled “What We Believe,” included various public policy positions unrelated to police brutality and police reform.

    Women Are Not OK0

    I try not to watch videos that extremely socially maladjusted people have recorded of themselves crying in their cars. They seem to go viral too often. And too often, the subjects are women: women who earnestly believe that abortion is fundamental to female flourishing. Women whose nature has been thwarted, disassembled, and denied by a

    Twenty Lessons From 2020’s Fallout0

    This year has been a shock. Here is an early sketch of what I think I’ve learned. Governments are fully capable of doing the unthinkable, and doing so suddenly with no exit plan, little consideration of cost, and a callous disregard for individual rights.
