In September, when Joe Biden announced a federal vaccine mandate on private businesses with 100 or more employees, a clear majority of the public supported Biden’s mandate, according to Gallup.

Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio in Don’t Look Up. (Niko Tavernise/Netflix) When Mike Judge’s Idiocracy first came out, I criticized it (wrongly, in retrospect) as being too uncharitable, too mean-spirited, and cruel. I did not have that reaction to Don’t Look Up, the Netflix comet-headed-for-Earth comedy written by Adam McKay (Anchorman) and leftist journalist David
Although it is still too early to say for sure, the early data suggests strongly that the Omicron variant, while more infectious than its predecessors, is significantly less deadly. Nevertheless, as the variant causes yet another wave of COVID-19 positive test results, many parents with students in districts where states have not required schools to
A series of animal studies released in recent days regarding the Omicron variant all point to the same conclusion: that while Omicron is highly infectious, it is significantly less lethal than any previous variant of COVID-19 because it causes much less damage to the lungs, according to the New York Times. The Times highlighted a
This was CNN cognitive dissonance on steroids — with a booster shot of hypocrisy. Picture this. In its 7 am hour, New Day brought on CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner who called the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration a potential “superspreader” event that is “completely unnecessary” and “unwise.” Reiner called omicron “the most
New bereavement policies in Boston and Portland acknowledge the death and grief the act entails. While conservatives might be skeptical of the city of Boston’s new parental-leave policy, which provides up to twelve weeks of paid leave after a miscarriage or voluntary abortion, some of us in the pro-life community are grateful that Boston’s political
Democrats are responding in typical fashion to Sen. Joe Manchin’s promised “no” vote on President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act: They are foaming at the mouth. According to Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., “It’s an example of Joe Manchin, as a white man, showing that he doesn’t care about black people. He doesn’t care about
Thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate on Thursday as 100 mph winds whipped up fast-moving wildfires in Boulder County, Colorado.

Hundreds of homes have been destroyed and tens of thousands of residents evacuated as wildfires spread across part of the US state of Colorado. At least one first responder and six others were injured after the flames took hold following an extremely dry autumn in the region and a winter that has so far not
One of the most disturbing concepts in politics is the media elite providing the “first draft of history.” You can test-drive this with a look at ABC’s two-hour year-end special on December 27. It was mostly about celebrities and athletes and some natural disasters. But when President Biden came up, ABC was energetically playing defense. It
For the past few weeks, I’ve been testing New York state’s mask mandate—which isn’t much of a mandate at all but more of a strongly worded suggestion. Governor Kathy Hochul decided that she would put the responsibility of enforcing her ridiculous mandate on the counties. When counties responded by telling her to shove it, she
As 2020 came to a close, we took the time to think about how COVID had changed our lives and how we would revert to normal in 2021. Joe Biden was elected in 2020 on the promise he would eradicate COVID. Here we are a year later, and we have another year to look back
And a year of inflation debates, including some I got wrong. Prices have been increasing at the fastest rate in decades, but we haven’t been having a debate about inflation. We’ve been having five. We might do a better job of thinking through the issues if we distinguish among them. . . .
A member of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s staff described the nation of Israel as “a racist European ethnostate,” according to Fox News.

Isabella Weber, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has written an opinion piece suggesting that price controls should be considered as a possible tactic to deal with inflation. Americans have been hit hard by the economic consequences of rapidly rising costs, with the consumer price index recently registering the biggest
As 2021 comes to a close, let’s look back on another terrible year of liberal propaganda in entertainment television. From Black Lives Matter to blasphemy, Hollywood proved once again how far out of touch they are with regular Americans. Here are the top 10 worst liberal scenes of 2021: 1. Oprah Network Drama Wants
For every conservative woman who rejects feminism, there’s a female pundit who says “but only what it has become.” There are many, it seems, who want to hold on to the idea, or perhaps even just the appearance, of political equity between the sexes, even as they reject what it has brought about. Far be
The Democratic Party used to call itself the party of working people and hail the “dignity of work.” No more. Now, Democrats want to guarantee people who choose not to work an income funded by the suckers who do the right thing by showing up for work, caring for their family, and paying taxes. Fortunately,
Have you heard about the ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ store that opened in Massachusetts? Business is booming and the owner is now talking about opening additional locations in New England.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial was billed as the moment, after years of waiting, when we would get answers. In reality, the woman at the centre of the case revealed almost nothing, and the courtroom drama, scheduled to last six weeks, was over in three. Maxwell did not take the stand, and her defence offered little
While guest hosting Inside Politics on CNN on Thursday, Phil Mattingly wondered how President Biden’s approval rating could be so low – after all he has signed major pieces of legislation, and the economy is allegedly “robust.” To alleviate his confusion, Mattingly welcomed CNN historian Tim Naftali to explain that Biden’s numbers will eventually go up because at the
We wrap up 2021 with our usual mix of booze, guns, and weirdness. We also talk about the ups and downs of the year. No, really, there were ups! It’s important to go into the new year on a positive note. via GIPHY A semi-positive note, anyway. Kevin and I are looking forward to having
