I criticize Facebook a lot. But today is not that day. Facebook’s Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality headset and the worlds inside of it are indescribably cool (although I’m going to try to describe them). Let’s get to the good stuff: WOW. I’ve been to VR arcades and the Oculus is every bit as sharp

Although there has recently been an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, the administered vaccines should reach 70% of the population before summer begins. If that happens, the virus will be mostly contained so that economy of every state should fully reopen. That will lead to an economic boom, albeit an inflationary economic boom.
Matt Feeney: Setting up a years long, quasi-therapeutic process in which admissions goads young people into laying bare their vulnerable selves — a process that conceals a high-value transaction in which colleges use their massive leverage to mold those selves to their liking — is reprehensible. It is a terrible thing to do. It renders
On Friday afternoon, CNN’s Ana Cabrera presented viewers with disputed, one-sided anti-gun commentary in reaction to a mass shooting in Indianapolis. Even though the accuracy of his work has been disputed, University of Alabama crime researcher Adam Lankford was given a forum to misleadingly argue that the U.S. has one of the worst mass shooting problems of
I haven’t trusted Dr. Fauci since he praised New York state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We know that, when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We have done it. We have done it in New York. New York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it
Watch Out For That First Step- It’s A Doozy! Most communist leaders hang onto office into advanced old age for one reason: They love power. Mao wasn’t afraid of death, but he was afraid of losing his power. Stalin was the same way. Raul Castro is one of the few communists to voluntarily step down,
A hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, November 2, 2020 (Shannon VanRaes/Reuters) Wokeism has swept through the institutions, and certainly establishment medicine, particularly the New England Journal of Medicine (as I have illustrated here several times). In this week’s example, an article in the “Perspective” section — which almost always reflects the journal’s editorial stance —
On Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, Maher supportively interviewed Sharon Osbourne about cancel culture. Osbourne was canceled after a decade from the CBS show The Talk — their knockoff of ABC’s The View — after getting in a tense exchange with black co-host Sheryl Underwood about her friend Piers Morgan and his
It was 1960 and John Wayne was still seen as the quintessential American when The Alamo hit the theaters. Wayne produced, directed, and starred in the film, playing Davey Crockett. It was a dramatic and cinematic triumph even if it was historically inaccurate. There’s one moment in that film that had little to do with
This is part two of the article that ran yesterday. $175 Billion in Subsidies for Electric Vehicles For as much as liberals complain about large corporate subsidies, they cheer on proposals like these that ultimately (and disproportionately) benefit the very people they resent because: SURPRISE! Electric vehicles are made by large corporations. Large corporations that
Pro-democracy marchers in Hong Kong, July 1, 2020 (Tyrone Siu / Reuters) Friday was a very bad day for Hong Kong. Jimmy Lai and other democrats were sentenced to prison. For a report in the New York Times, go here. Some friends of Hong Kong — and of democracy in general — have formed the

(Photo by Demetrius Freeman-Pool/Getty Images) Donald Trump believes there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Even from Elba at Palm Beach. We know this. In his eighth
Always adept at fomenting division and gaslighting MSNBC viewers to hate their political adversaries, network contributor and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude Jr. insisted during Friday’s Andrea Mitchell Reports that police shootings in this day and age have continued to terrorize African-American communities because of former President Ronald Reagan. Viewers almost certainly didn’t know that Glaude would invoke the Gipper when fill-in
Wanna feel old? Next June, it will be 10 years since Rachel Maddow devoted an entire segment of her primetime MSNBC show to a lunatic conspiracy theory about someone hacking into Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account and sending pictures of Anthony Weiner’s penis to women who were not Anthony Weiner’s wife: Did you get all that?
Summary: President Joe Biden has no events on his public schedule for Saturday, but the White House Press Office mentions that he will return to his residence in Delaware Saturday night. According to his public schedule, he was already there. Your guess is as good as mine… President Biden’s Itinerary for 4/17/21: All Times EDT
1. Bari Weiss: Why France refuses to Prosecute an Anti-Semitic Murderer Sarah Halimi was a retired French physician and schoolteacher. She was also an Orthodox Jew. On April 4, 2017, Halimi was in her Paris apartment where she lived alone. In the middle of the night, a 27-year-old Muslim man of Malian origin named Kobili
Unlike the liberal networks, who this week tried to justify and explain the Democratic power grab to try and pack the Supreme Court, Fox’s Chris Wallace on Friday wasn’t having any of it. He unloaded on the “unconstitutional,” “bone-headed” move, flatly declaring it’s simply “not going to happen.” Appearing on America’s Newsroom, Wallace appeared as
The radical immigration activists who worked so hard to get Joe Biden elected must be wondering when their payday is coming. On issue after issue, promise after promise, Joe Biden has disappointed the activists and is now starting to anger them. To be sure, Joe Biden is trying. After announcing a return to an “orderly,
The Texas House passed a bill allowing adults over the age of 21 to carry a gun without a permit or license on Thursday. H.B. 1927 passed with an 87-58 vote and would allow adult citizens to carry a gun without a permit unless the state or federal government prohibits them from owning a firearm.
Russian President Vladimir Putin at his annual end-of-year news conference at the Novo-Ogaryovo state residence outside Moscow, Russia, December 17, 2020. (Sputnik/Mikhail Klimentyev/Kremlin via Reuters) The largest group of conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill is accusing President Joe Biden of exhibiting “a dangerous pattern of weakness” toward Russia, and of perhaps even seeking “reset” of
The April 15 episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, titled “Sign O’ the Times,” was chock-full of BLM propaganda. On the show, George Floyd has just died and the residents of Seattle protest. Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) sees some protesters with “I can’t breathe” signs on a street corner as he is out on a
Twitter often proves itself to be the pungent cesspool of humanity. As Democrats released their doomed bill to add four seats to the U.S. Supreme Court, bringing the number of justices from nine to 13, Twitter users loudly complained about Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. The argument goes something like this: Republicans
A bipartisan bill that would provide $100 billion for technology research to address competition from China could build support for some of the initiatives in the $2.3 trillion infrastructure package, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday held a hearing on the Endless Frontier Act, which would rename the National Science
(Thomas Peter/Reuters) They said they wouldn’t do it, but of course they did. Scientists working in China — where else? — have constructed embryos that are part human and part monkey. From the Nature story: In the study, researchers fertilized eggs extracted from cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) and grew them in culture. Six days after
At least on camera, CNN hosts Brooke Baldwin and Don Lemon have a longstanding friendship as the two tend to get wasted during the network’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. But things may be on the rocks since Baldwin lashed out at CNN as she’s set to be forced out, claiming the network was unwelcoming to women. But
If you saw a movie with a storyline depicting what’s being done to America under the auspices of a “global pandemic,” you’d give it an enthusiastic thumbs down because the plot was hopelessly implausible. No one would ever believe that the government in 2021 would pressure Americans with immunity to take an experimental vaccine—1850, maybe,
President Joe Biden, who just established a commission to study the impact of expanding the Supreme Court, once said that packing the court was a “bonehead” idea. The president’s potential support for packing the court would be a strong deviation from his former thoughts on the matter, video footage shows. He spoke out against court
A crew works at the construction site of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline near the town of Kingisepp, Leningrad Region, Russia, June 5, 2019. (Anton Vaganov/Reuters) Declaring that “now is the time to de-escalate,” President Biden announced a suite of sanctions and other reprisal measures as a response to the SolarWinds hack and Moscow’s interference in the 2020
Roughly two months after banning Project Veritas, Twitter has permanently suspended the investigative outlet’s founder James O’Keefe. O’Keefe’s ban comes after Project Veritas released undercover video of a top CNN executive bragging about helping Joe Biden win the presidency. “Look what we did, we got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it,
I don’t know about you, but I really very seriously need this week’s “Five O’Clock Somewhere.” We started this podcast a year ago, with the idea of providing a little relief from the lockdown blues. But I’m over those and hope you are, too. Now, however, the Biden Blues is what’s wearing me down. As
