  • Voters Rejecting Biden While DNC Rigs Process

    “Joe Biden’s presidency has been an abject failure. This is certainly the impression one gets from looking at the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll results, which find that ‘more than 6 in 10 Americans (62 percent) say they would be “dissatisfied” or “angry” if Biden were reelected in 2024.’ Just seven percent of voters say they…

  • The Federal Government’s Response to Covid

    The congressional Covid-19 select committee held a hearing on the federal government’s response to the pandemic.

  • “Dangerous and Unethical”: New York Removes Mask Mandate for Health Care Settings

  • Train Disaster: Causes and Solutions

    “Rail workers — who have been blocked by the Biden White House in seeking basic workplace guarantees such as sick leave — can’t be the only force holding rail carriers accountable in critical matters of public safety. The Department of Transportation — which has long treated rail carriers as clients rather than regulatory subjects –…

  • NATO’s Sweden and Finland Campaign

    Neither the mainstream media nor politicians have the civil courage to address the conflict. It’s only about the war and only about Russia/Putin who must be punished, no matter the price to be paid by future generations. If we survive. …
