I had Covid over Christmas break, after my triple-vaxxed husband brought it home from a conference, which means two things: I now have natural immunity, and you will never persuade me that vaccinated people don’t spread the virus to others. That was supposed to be the rationale for vaccine passports. If vaccines prevented the spread

Los canales en español de la nación se suman al esfuerzo de los medios corporativos para ganar ratings con su propia programación especial en conmemoración al “ataque a la democracia por parte de los seguidores del presidente Donald Trump”; en Univisión, el especial lleva el nombre de “Asalto al Capitolio: La democracia a prueba”; en
The “winter of severe illness and death” Presidentish Joe Biden warned that Unvaccinated Americans would suffer looks instead to become the springtime — and summer — of Biden’s discontent. Biden’s first year in office was the most unsuccessful in living memory. Can you name his three major accomplishments? I can. The first was in March
Gary Varvel Gary Varvel is the editorial cartoonist for The Indianapolis Star. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1957, Varvel was drawn to cartoons as a child when he saw a copy of MAD magazine. His freshman year at Danville High School in Danville, Indiana, Varvel won his first cartoon contest held by the school newspaper.
House Chaplain Father Patrick J. Conroy on Capitol Hill, April 22, 2020. (Tom Brenner/Reuters) There’s moral gibberish in an interview with the former chaplain for the U.S. House of Representatives. Father Pat Conroy, a Jesuit priest, tells the Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein: How do we, within our constitutional system, how do we get to our
On the cusp of an absolute glut of liberal-media anniversary coverage of the January 6 riot, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter was cranky. “We live in a world where Donald Trump’s top supporters malign the media for being ‘obsessed’ with January 6.” You don’t have to be a Trump supporter to see it. The media
Back in the political arena Tuesday, Sen. Joe Manchin confirmed he’s not currently working with the White House to find agreement on the Build Back Better social legislation, which seems perpetually stalled due to his wise opposition. The West Virginian famously announced last month that he would not vote for the $2.4 trillion boondoggle, arguing it
Comparing the Kim Potter and Alec Baldwin cases is a powerful illustration of the missing element in our criminal justice system. Prosecutors are granted broad discretion in who they charge, so that they may consider the totality of circumstances and provide something that the literal interpretation of laws can’t — justice. But the Potter and
In case you missed it, my colleague Caroline Downey had a chilling report about what’s allegedly been going on at the Washington Corrections Center for Women. In the report, a former female inmate confirms what a former corrections officer already told National Review — that male offenders have been put in the women’s facility after
The major camps in today’s debates merely disagree about whose relativism should be protected by the structures of political power. Conservative discourse in America has set its sights on the extremes of a “woke” progressivism preached by the liberal establishment in politics, big business, and the media. Pages of conservative publications and think tanks are
David Marchese is the “Talk” columnist for the New York Times Magazine, a convenient avenue for the newspaper to sneak in snobbish liberalism under the guise of “celebrity” interviews — the term clearly being loosely defined, as in the most recent round of conservative Christian-bashing: “An Evangelical Climate Scientist Wonders What Went Wrong.” (Photo from
One quote stood out to me during the Advisory Committee hearing on booster shots for Pfizer in September 2021. When Doran Fink, M.D., deputy director of the clinical side of the FDA’s Division of Vaccines and Related Products Applications, was asked if he could identify the age where the risk of myocarditis following vaccination dropped
Life Site News has reported extensively on changes to federal law months before the so-called “pandemic” began that adds to the evidence that this was planned all along. Robert L. Kinney III, who reported on the changes, writes that it could be a coincidence but “it may serve as another possible tip-off that government officials
Benjamin Harrison in 1896 (Library of Congress) There are a number of issues with the overwrought New York Times “Every Day Is Jan. 6 Now” editorial, but let’s not gloss over its selective use of history. The Times, scrounging around in the attic for a safely dead Republican it could co-opt, picks our 23rd president,
Instead of moralizing about 1/6, those in power should work to remedy the conditions that caused the riot. Three-hundred-and-sixty-four days ago I spent the better part of my afternoon staked out on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building. I was there mostly by accident. It had been a slow day at TAC H.Q. and
The degeneration of NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers’ comedic skill continued apace on Tuesday as the host ripped into Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, labeling him a “Haunted Ventriloquist’s Dummy,” for not buying into hysteria about COVID. As part of a long-winded monologue, Meyers compared himself to Andy Cohen’s New Year’s rant against outgoing New York City
Paul Krugman is a joke—but he’s not very funny. The man fakes being a serious economist worse than Jussie Smollett fakes hate crimes. While he thinks being a Pulitzer Prize winner gives him credibility, in reality, he’s just another garden variety leftist pundit. He would probably jump off a bridge if a president with a
Nearly half of likely American voters say they believe the FBI is acting as President Joe Biden’s “personal gestapo,” according to a new poll. Americans’ approval of the FBI has declined over the past two years, with many voters believing the agency acts on behalf of Biden, according to the results of a Rasmussen Reports
Toyota cars on the assembly line at the company’s Tsutsumi plant in Toyota, Japan, in 2017. (Toru Hanai/Reuters) For the first time since 1931, General Motors was dislodged as the U.S.’s top-selling car company. Toyota’s 2.3 million–vehicle sales in 2021 ranked highest in the country, up 10 percent from the previous year. The shift in
Facebook has temporarily suspended Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene one day after her ban from Twitter. Greene’s personal Twitter account was permanently suspended “for repeated violations of [Twitter’s] COVID-19 misinformation policy.” Greene slammed the move as censorship from Big Tech. ”Social media platforms can’t stop the truth from being spread far and wide,” she said. “Big
Joe Biden’s COVID strategy was to deemphasize testing in favor of COVID shots. Now there is a nationwide shortage of tests. This appears to have been by design. Testing labs that previously had an antigen test back in 20 minutes were overrun with people during the holidays. One man waiting in line at a lab
2021 was a dismal year for America but especially for Conservatives. Having Joe and Kamala occupying the White House and being the minority in the House and Senate put Republicans on the defense for the entire year. It was a helpless feeling watching all of the gains we had made in the last four years
Offices of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” are now found at most of our colleges and universities. Admissions are heavily weighted in favor of students who come from (or at least appear to come from) “underrepresented minority” groups. Criticize any of this, and your career in education will probably come to an abrupt end. There are,
The “democracy” machine incessantly whirrs, but in 2022 you must pay it no heed. Here’s a new-year’s resolution for those still kicking around for one: In 2022, let’s ignore the entire Western democracy-promotion machine. For good. Not that our indifference will stop the machine doing its work. The men and women who operate the thing
In a heartbreaking report out on Saturday, The New York Times detailed how prenatal blood tests for genetic defects used in some cases to justify an abortion were wrong between 81 and 93 percent of the time, as the companies boast near-perfect results. But the pro-abortion advocates in the liberal broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and
Joe Biden’s COVID strategy has always relied on the vaccines he inherited from President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed. But, unfortunately, instead of a measured approach to vaccinations that prioritizes the elderly and the vulnerable, he’s pursued a universal vaccination approach. According to Biden, everyone–the old and sick; the young and healthy–must be vaccinated. He even
A woman who accused Prince Andrew of having sex with her at 17 received a half-million dollar payout from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Associated Press reported. Virginia Giuffre, who filed a lawsuit against Andrew for sexual misconduct claims last August, received the money from Epstein in 2009, according to an unsealed settlement, the
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) questions Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire during his testimony before a House Intelligence Committee hearing on the handling of the whistleblower complaint in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., September 26, 2019. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) As he announced in early December, Representative
The nation’s political centralizers find themselves distressed in an age in which there is increasing demand for decentralization. The hysteria of such as E.J. Dionne, Linda Greenhouse, and Laurence Tribe about an assertedly partisan and conservative Supreme Court is amusing to observe. I recall the mid-’60s, where each Monday saw the Court play nine-pins with
Heroes of Liberty editor Bethany S. Mandel said that Facebook banned the line of children’s books she edits, which capture the lives of historical American leaders. Mandel stated that Facebook designated Heroes of Liberty books about the fascinating lives of American presidents and Supreme Court Justices to be “Low Quality or Disruptive” content. “My new
