Carbon footprint hoax has been open secret for years

President Donald Trump railed at the U.N. General Assembly about the "scam" of carbon offsets, and warned other countries to stop destroying their economies by partaking in the "hoax." He couldn't be more correct. What's more, everybody knows it. Published September 24, 2025

Trump more deserving of trust than Big Pharma, health bureaucrats

President Trump sparked a global backlash by advising pregnant women to stop taking Tylenol because its main acetaminophen ingredient may cause autism. But here's where "follow the money" becomes crucial. It's not always the best health practice for the individual to defer to health bureaucrats. Published September 24, 2025

Charlie Kirk, in death, emerges as assayer of God

Bill Maher said "the left" has a "bad attitude of 'go no contact'" -- meaning, the left condemns those who disagree with their views. He said this while noting the Emmys failed to mention Charlie Kirk. This is the same Emmys where an actress called to "F--- ICE and free Palestine!" Priorities, meet the left.

Hamas wins, evil marches on, and civil society shudders

Britain, Australia, Portugal, Canada -- these countries all just recognized Palestinian statehood, a move aimed at exerting extra pressure on Israel and the White House to get in line with the two-state solution that's not so much a solution as an antisemitic means of eradicating the Jewish people.

President Trump said that the Democrats' sugar daddy, George Soros, is "a bad guy" who ought to be "put in jail" for his role in funding what's been accused -- albeit denied by the billionaire -- as some of the most violent uprisings in the nation. Soros has certainly sown political discord. Published September 16, 2025

Exploiting Charlie Kirk’s death

An email from a prominent conservative figure's chief operating officer goes like this: "I'm writing to ask you to join me in backing our security needs for ... our team" -- "we need to raise an initial $24,000" -- "please donate."

Florida’s end to vaccine mandates is due to Democrat tyrants

Florida is poised to become the first state in the nation to put an end to any and all state-imposed vaccines to children. And predictably, the left is going nuts, warning of lives lost and death counts and dire circumstances. But the leftists have only themselves to blame for Florida's action.

Bold and Blunt: Is the Bible anti-woman?
