I hadn’t bothered getting a COVID booster for exactly one reason. The wildfire-like omicron variant is so mild — and getting it likely increases your natural immunity to other variants — that for a young(ish) and healthy person like myself, omicron is actually preferable to a booster. But now I have a second reason to

The Biden administration advanced a federal review of the impact of leasing public waters for offshore wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. The review is part of President Joe Biden’s goal to permit at least 30 gigawatts of offshore wind production by 2030, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced. BOEM

Gas prices at a BP station in New York City, November 24, 2021. (Andrew Kelly/Reuters) Another month, another inflation report that causes the words “highest rate since” to appear in headlines. The Biden administration definitely wants those three words in succession to stop showing up in response to the release of the consumer price index

MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid showed in 2021 that she was unrelenting in her use of dangerous and incendiary rhetoric, so it was no surprise when, on Tuesday night, she argued critics of Dr. Fauci were “pro-Omicron armchair physicians” and unvaccinated Americans should receive lower pay and less (or no) medical care when ill compared

I’ve had just about enough of the Democrats’ rhetoric these days. How many times can you listen to Democrats cry wolf about how democracy is “hanging by a thread” or that “democracy is stake” unless something is done about it and not go nuts? Using the Capitol riot as a pretext, Democrats want to overhaul

A New York federal judge ruled against Prince Andrew’s motion to dismiss Wednesday in a lawsuit in which the prince is accused of having sexually abused a minor, multiple sources reported.

President Joe Biden’s new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief of Staff Kristie Canegallo has a politically leftist, pro-censorship history that should raise concerns for free speech advocates. Kristie Canegallo, formerly Google’s vice president of trust and safety, is now chief of staff at the DHS. Canegallo has a history of targeting so-called “hate speech”

School districts across America have mostly remained open during the surge in positive virus tests, but parents appear reluctant to allow their kids to attend in-person classes. This has led to a situation where classes are almost one-third empty while teachers try to decide how best to proceed knowing that many children will simply never

Documents published by Project Veritas appear to prove Anthony Fauci to be the liar we all know he is and the dangers of the so-called “vaccines” for the Fauci Flu. The COVID World provided a good summation of the documents describing them as “stunning classified documents which give insight into the origin of COVID-19, the

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks minced no words when asked how he felt about his head coach Mike Zimmer being fired on Monday. Kendricks expressed relief that Zimmer will no longer be calling the shots on Sundays, stating that the former coach instilled a culture of fear in Minnesota. “I don’t think a fear-based organization

Who would ever have thought that Bill Maher would become the voice of reason of the left? While that’s admittedly a very low bar, Maher has nevertheless managed to surprise several times in recent months, as the rabid extremism of the left has become too much even for him. “To me, when people say to

This week, the incoming New York City Mayor Eric Adams — the supposed rational corrective to uber-radical outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio — announced that he would allow legislation to proceed allowing local voting for 800,000 noncitizens. The same week, the legislature in California took up a bill that would establish single-payer health care in

Detail of portrait of President Abraham Lincoln by George Healey, 1869 (White House Historical Association/via Wikimedia) Allen C. Guelzo is always worth reading. In addition to his work at National Review, his latest at the Public Discourse shows why.

A new report by The Washington Free Beacon exposed how Amazon, whose web services division nuked the free speech platform Parler reportedly for “violent content,” has been peddling Nazi propaganda films. The Free Beacon said the Big Tech giant “sells and streams more than 30 Nazi propaganda films, according to information from a watchdog group

After setting up a backup social media account on GETTR (follow me here) last week, I began pondering the recent waves of outrage about conservatives getting suspended or banned by Twitter and Facebook. And I was super bored by it all. via GIPHY I don’t like it when conservatives overplay the victim card–or play victim

The chief executive of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said at a conference Tuesday that to address the record high job vacancies, the U.S. should seek to double the nation’s number of legal immigrants.

President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the grounds of Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Ga., January 11, 2022. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) In his wisdom, Joe Biden has decided to declare there’s a crisis in our democracy that can only be fixed if two bills pass in the next several days that aren’t going

During a fawning interview with The Washington Post Magazine last week, NBC weatherman Al Roker arrogantly told writer Eric Easter that he gets no “pushback” against his left-wing climate change activism from his media colleagues. He argued that to the degree any skepticism exists in his industry, “nobody takes those people very seriously.” “No one

But the surge in COVID cases combined with Biden’s failure to order more tests, as well as his disastrous decision to put all his chips on vaccinations instead of also pushing therapeutics, is coming back to bite him. Experts and former Biden officials are now admitting things have “gone backwards” and that the Biden administration needs an

Karl Marx once said that history repeats itself, “first as tragedy then as farce.” Marx was wrong about many things, but he understood the dark irony of history. One need only look to Connecticut to see what he meant, where lawmakers are reviving one of the most controversial policies of the pandemic (sort of). “Nursing

Jennifer Lawrence in Don’t Look Up (Netflix/Screenshot via Youtube) Netflix’s Don’t Look Up has proven unpopular on the review site “Rotten Tomatoes.” It has had mixed reviews at National Review where Kevin Williamson liked it, Kyle Smith hated it, and Ross Douthat found its satirical elements unconvincing. Written by Adam McKay, the star-studded movie tells

The entire nation struggles from a lack of available COVID tests because of the Biden administration’s failure to secure enough of them back in October. Meanwhile, the evening news broadcasts have been perfectly happy to ignore the fact that Biden’s recent insurance mandate announced today to cover tests will only lead to further shortages.  While both

Perhaps you’ve had difficulty finding cream cheese at your local Wegmans or can’t seem to buy paper towels at Kroger. Whatever your shopping woes are, you certainly aren’t alone. Empty grocery store shelves made their debut to Americans in March 2020, and most stores ended up recovering from the panic buying a few months later.

Summary: President Joe Biden will receive his daily briefing then head to Atlanta where he will do some virtue signaling then try to convince Americans that the Democrats’ election theft bill is good for the people. It is important to note that several prominent Democrat activists, including Stacey Abrams, have decided to do anything other than

1. Devastating fire in the Bronx: TREMONT, Bronx (WABC) — Hospitals are desperately working to save the lives of more than a dozen people critically injured by smoke in a fire that killed 17, including eight children, in the Bronx, while the investigation is focused on a door that should have closed automatically but did

On the latest NB Podcast, we marvel at the amazing pundit acrobatics of the CNN Media Unit. In 2020, CNN was the center of the universe on coronavirus panic (unless you were attending a Black Lives Matter protest). Suddenly in 2022, there’s too many “doomsday doctors” and “panic porn” out there — now that Biden’s

For some reason, people are still freaking out about the omicron variant of COVID. However, soon after we first learned about the variant, we saw evidence that it was a far more mild variant of COVID, with symptoms just like the common cold. According to Dr. Angelique Coetzee, the South African doctor responsible for alerting
