(Jack Wedam) There are three types of “science” — good science, bad science, and political science. Perhaps some of the recent confusion and conflict occurs when rational, ethical, and honest people assume others use good science when, instead, dishonest and nefarious people often use bad science or political science.

The Death of Rational Science
(Jack Gleason) We humans see ourselves as rational beings who make decisions based on facts. “Science is king,” we say, “Listen to the experts.”
The Death of Socrates and America?
(Paul Krause) Plato never forgave the tyrants of Athens for putting Socrates to death. Socrates’s death was a watershed moment in Athenian history. In many ways, it marked the end of the Athenian golden age as the sun set over Athens as her imperial ambitions vanished in the Peloponnesian War and the Thirty Tyrants would be installed by Sparta with support from the Athenian ruling class. The charges were concocted: he was “corrupting the youth of Athens.” In other words, he didn’t adhere to the propagated ideology of the newly tyrannical Athenian state. Socrates’s questioning of the Athenian tyrants marked him as a dangerous enemy that needed to be silenced, canceled, forever.
Counter the Left’s Race War with a Class War
(Christopher Chantrill) I’ve always felt that the Civil Rights Acts were a Good Thing, but that the rot set in with the first executive orders mandating quotas and affirmative action.
Why F. Scott Fitzgerald and Theodore Roosevelt Would Support a Second Run for President by Donald J. Trump
(David Zukerman) Something Nick Carraway, in The Great Gatsby, says about Tom and Daisy Buchanan seems to apply, these days, to our totalitarian-minded leftists. What Carraway, the narrator in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, says is that the Buchanan’s are “careless people” who “let other people clean up the mess they had made.” Behold Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her bunch.
Wokeness and Victimhood
(Wen Wryte) If there’s a topic the woke like talking about most, it’s themselves. This is not unusual for people obsessed with their own well-being, status, and influence over others. Which pretty much sums up the mindset of most of the woke. A culture based on such values easily tips over into narcissistic exhibitionism — the obsessive desire to parade one’s self before others: nothing could be more important than satisfying the craving for attention, approval, and adulation.
Time for a Coalition of Free American State
(J.B. Shurk) I want to make a suggestion. It is past time for some type of “coalition of free American states.”
How the Teachers Union Politicized COVID
(Robyn Dolgin) Randi Weingarten is confronting unwanted headlines for her politicizing the COVID epidemic as president of the American Federation of Teachers.
MSNBC’S Joe Scarborough Spreads Debunked Lie: Trump Rioters Came to Capitol to ‘Kill Cops’
(Kyle Becker) MSNBC host Joe Scarborough continued the left’s revisionist history of the January 6th Capitol Riots by conjuring up Trump supporters who went to the protest to “kill cops.”
If There’s Nothing to Hide, Why Are Democrats Freaking Out about the Arizona Audit?
(J.B. Shurk) If you have been keeping an eye on the election audit taking place right now in Maricopa County, Arizona, then you also know that Democrats, news propagandists, and “concerned” NeverTrump Republicans are beginning to sound more and more like trapped rats squeaking in fear.
Not Dead Yet
(Tom McAllister) As we approach the hundredth day of the Biden “presidency,” any logical, patriotic American has to wonder what more would someone do if they were trying to systematically destroy every ideal and virtue our nation has stood for in its history. From porous borders to suppressed citizen freedoms, unbridled spending yet throttled economic growth, inciting divisiveness while promoting untethered morality, our enemies must imagine themselves in an Old Milwaukee commercial, “It doesn’t get any better than this.”
Americans Exiled within America
(Fay Voshell) “Exile” conjures images of banished figures like Napoleon, who languished on the island of Elba, rendered powerless by isolation.
How Wokery Dominates Society
(Michael Curtis) We live in a continually changing world, with new concepts and ways of developing practical arguments and evaluating moral truths on race, sex, and sexual issues. Today, those ways are seen through the prism of racial justice, emphasized in colonial and post-colonial studies, Critical Race Theory, intersectionality, queer studies, gender studies. These are part of the present obsession with race and sex. At the heart is the pessimistic, postmodernist contention critical of the possibility of objectivity, questioning whether there can be reliable knowledge about a reality that exists independently of human perception.
Democrats Blaming Everyone but Themselves
(Brian C. Joondeph) An old expression notes that when you point one finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you. This aphorism may have originated in the Bible when Jesus said, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”
Laws Banning Biological Males From Competing in Female Sports ‘Uphold White Supremacy,’ Ex-team Usa Women’s Soccer Player Says
(NWO Report) “These bills do uphold white supremacy under the guise of protecting women’s sport.”
