A few reminders to start. No matter what they say, the alleged problem is the warming that you cause (even though it’s not you). None of their models work (if you want to read a wonky article about one that does, but doesn’t predict climate Armageddon, look here). The entire exercise is about ending free-market … Read more
As discussed in the introductory essay in this series, standard doctrine surrounding vaccines – pertaining to clinical trials, licensing, marketing, and vaccination schedules – is largely a pseudoscientific façade, constructed on a shaky foundation of falsehoods. In this series, we examine each of the five Big Lies propping up vaccinology, plus two “Honorable Mentions.” Big … Read more
If you don’t know who raised your property taxes, someone else is steering your town. And if you don’t know what actually keeps you healthy, someone else is steering your body. This week on The Independents, we break down: Because the same mindset that shrugs at tax hikes also shrugs at bad food, bad sleep, … Read more
I say it often, and you can quote me. It’s easy to break things. Fixing them is a lot harder. It takes longer. And while Obama broke stuff, whoever was running the Biden Administration wrecked a lot more. Add to that an unprecedented effort to realign the American economy, fix unfair trade deals, break the … Read more
To some readers it may seem like a rhetorical question to ask whether the narrative of George Orwell’s dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four (or 1984), first published in Britain in 1949, has somehow left its pages and settled, like an ominous miasma, over the contours of social reality.

In the waning days of 2025, the once-celebrated ideal of multiculturalism lies in tatters, exposed by a cascade of violent incidents and societal fractures across Europe, the U.K., and beyond. The brutal attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney on Dec. 14, 2025, where a gunman targeted a Hanukkah celebration, killing several and injuring dozens, serves as … Read more
As I reported, or perhaps opined, on this week’s edition of GrokTALK!, Democrats are talking about affordability around a mouthful of policy objectives that do the opposite. And as noted here, “A Democrat wouldn’t know affordability if it bit them in the ass. Not one thing they propose, have done, or might do makes life … Read more
Are you wondering why the Republican Senate has accomplished almost nothing of Trump’s legislative agenda? If not, you should be. And here is why the feckless Republicans again fail the 80 million voters who returned Donald J. Trump to the White House as the 47th President of the United States. Simply put, there is the … Read more
I have always had a problem with media celebrities who elevate themselves above the event they are covering. This unfortunate occurrence can happen whether it’s a news or a sporting event. The usual solution is the handy mute button, which works if you can still see the event, but it does not provide the remedy … Read more

After that, the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was instrumental in ensuring that religious institutions would be totally separate … Read more

Education, EFAs, and Administrative Inheritance Entering Charles Merriam’s Marble Cake Factory Education policy in the United States is often framed as a simple contest between federal authority and state authority, as though the two operate in separate spheres.

There are no redeeming qualities to Representative Al Green (D-TX). He is a disrespectful and rude individual who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and whose sole purpose in Congress is to file impeachment papers on Donald Trump.
