(Fay Voshell) In his novel The First Circle, Alexander Solzhenitsyn pictures Stalin ruminating over the concept of “language as an instrument of production.” A new way of speaking would establish the reality of the communist order and the communist man and woman.

The Big Truth: Election 2020 Really Was Rigged
(James Arlandson) Mollie Hemingway has written a blockbuster book about all the strands of deception and falsehoods that converged to take down Donald Trump on Nov. 3 and 4 and beyond (and before) in her book: Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech and the Democrats Seized Our Elections (Regnery, 2021). I twice asked two Barnes and Noble stores in two weeks whether they had it in stock, and each time — no. So I finally had to order it online. It has ten chapters, plus a prologue and an epilogue. The total number of endnotes is 1,243 (I added them up), many having extensive commentaries. Only a large and excellent team of researchers could put together a book like this, and she credits them by name in her acknowledgments.
Saving the Rainforests Will Not Stop Global Warming: Here’s Why
(Wen Wryte) Saving the rainforests will not stop global warming — and here’s why
The Death of Trust in US Institutions, and How to Restore It
(Deane Waldman) Few can recall the turbulent 1950s from personal memory, particularly the loss of faith and trust in American institutions. Soviet agents (“Reds”) were everywhere: schools, agencies, the military, and even Congress. We the People were repeatedly warned: trust no one.
Are Parents a National Security Threat?
(Mark R. Schneider) In case you’ve not heard, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has mobilized against a new and unprecedented “threat” of “criminal conduct” facing the nation. So grave is this menace that the FBI has marshaled the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC), the DOJ’s Criminal Division, National Security Division, Civil Rights Division, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the FBI, the Community Relations Service, and the Office of Justice Programs.
Did Provocateurs Spark The January 6 Protest At The Capitol?
(Si Contino) I’ve read the entire Revolver News exposé about January 6, 2021, over the past several months, and what follows is the Reader’s Digest version of the dust-up that occurred at the Stop the Steel rally on that day, as reconstructed by Revolver News. (Links to the specific Revolver stories are provided at the end of this article.)
Beating the Mandates in Court
(Ted Noel) Thousands of people are challenging the vaccine mandates. For them the “get shot or get fired” ultimatum is a bridge too far. Southwest Airlines recently discovered that such pressure isn’t working when they had to cancel a lot of flights because they didn’t have staff. Locations with Lockdown Lefty Lunatics in charge are losing people. Over a thousand people a day are moving to the Free State of Florida where mandates are strongly discouraged. But federal courts are ruling in favor of mandates right and left. Why?
The Myth of White Privilege
(Stephen Kershnar) Throughout academia, the corporate world, and government, leaders are pushing the notion that American society advantages whites and disadvantages blacks. The notion of white privilege, though, is mistaken, thereby rendering worthless much of the teaching and underlying research.
Is Aspirin the New Horse Dewormer?
(Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.) Aspirin is one of those drugs that has been around forever. It is commonly used as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and blood thinner. Surprisingly it may also have benefits in treating COVID.
The Irrelevant Climate Change ‘Consensus’
(Anthony Watts) A new “peer-reviewed” paper has been released from Cornell University titled “Greater than 99% Consensus on Human Caused Climate Change in the Peer-Reviewed Scientific Literature.”
Those $4.5 Trillion ‘infrastructure’ and ‘reconciliation’ Bills Are Far More Radical and Dangerous Than You Think
(Seth Grossman)By pure chance, I listened to “Science Friday” on National Public Radio while on a Florida road trip last September 24. I heard host Ira Flatow interview New York Times climate reporter Coral Davenport. The transcript is posted online at Congress Is Considering Two Climate Change Bills. What’s In Them? (sciencefriday.com). The podcast is at September 24, 2021 – Science Friday
The Manifold Dangers of Pretending to Be the Opposite Sex
(Janet Levy) In 2015, during the Obama administration, the Supreme Court ruled that the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment requires states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This decision — which made the final pronouncement on the first major battle about gender confusion — rendered meaningless the distinction between men and women. It was no longer necessary for a married couple to comprise a male and a female. In a marriage, there could now be two husbands or two wives.
The ‘Science’ of Climate Change
(Norman Rogers) The science surrounding COVID has been hijacked for political purposes. People who recovered from the disease are pushed to get vaccinated, even though they have a natural immunity that is stronger than vaccine immunity. People are required to wear masks even though masks are essentially useless for preventing infection. People that die are reported as dying of COVID even though they died of something else. The government demands that children be vaccinated even though they are naturally resistant to the disease and suffer disturbing side effects from the vaccine. Schools are closed for no good reason.
1776 or 1619: Why it Really, Really, Matters
(Andrew W. Coy) There has been a great deal of consternation, anger, and vitriol the last two years arguing about two specific dates: 1776 or 1619. Most Americans, regardless of race, know what 1776 is about. Most Americans, regardless of race, do not know what 1619 is about. Most Americans believe that in 1776 America declared independence from the mother country, England, and thus that was the birth date of our country: 1776. However, author Nikole Hannah-Jones, writing in the New York Times Magazine, recently declared 1619 to be the actual beginning of America, our supposed birth date. This is because 1619 is when the first slaves landed in what was later to become America. That author uses 1619 as America’s birth date, to not just highlight the date of the first slaves into the colonies. But much more importantly, she vigorously claims that because of this date, America has been evil since its inception. And that everything in America since 1619, is corrupt and damaged goods. She believes the United States is irredeemable because of 1619. To this day, The New York Times Magazine has still refused to correct mistakes and errors in their story on the 1619 Project. Why?
It’s Time To Stop Terrorizing Our Children
(Dale Lowdermilk) If you are a male or a female (or know someone who is) and have been sleeping too soundly lately, type “billions of children facing climate shock” into Google and you will discover dozens of articles from last week warning that almost half the world’s 2.2 billion children will face, as one article says, “climate-related disasters in their lifetimes, [a UNICEF] report found.”
