The Lancet COVID-19 Commission, which is working with the United Nations and the World Health Organization to investigate the coronavirus outbreak, is chaired by a Columbia professor who has called the U.S. a “threat” to global peace, while praising China. Jeffrey Sachs, a former UN adviser, has met with WHO and UN officials as part

Cases are down 77 percent in the past six weeks, and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine professor Marty Makary notes in the WSJ, “If a medication slashed cases by 77%, we’d call it a miracle pill.” Dr. Makary boldly predicts we’ll have herd immunity about April. That’s only six weeks away. About 15 percent of
A coalition of three conservative groups launched a multimillion dollar ad campaign to expose to America why President Joe Biden’s inaugural call for “unity” was a leftist joke. The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN), Heritage Action for America and Americans for Public Trust released three ads revealing Biden’s gaslighting on “unity.” That theoretical call was undercut by the extreme
Twitter is abuzz with rage this afternoon at reports that President Joe Biden has restarted funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology — the lab in China that still may be a suspect in the origin of the global COVID pandemic.

Wednesday the South Carolina House passed a bill intended to ban abortions after the point of development when a fetal heartbeat can be detected. That happens around six weeks, well before most abortions take place. The “ South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act ” requires doctors to perform ultrasounds to check for
Mark Morgan, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation’s Samantha Renck about President Joe Biden’s push to grant a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants, his immigration policy suggestions and more. Biden and other Democrats will introduce legislation on Thursday aimed at providing a pathway to
Rush Limbaugh at National Review Institute’s fall gala, 2019. (Lila Photo) Jim Geraghty notes the tendency, common in the media in the 1990s, to lump Rush Limbaugh in with Howard Stern as “shock jocks” despite their significant differences. One major distinction: For Rush, shock value was the sizzle, not the steak. If you listened to
Do you know your Constitution? Hollywood sure doesn’t but thankfully “Mitch McTurtle” does. Jimmy Kimmel roasted Sen. Mitch McConnell for his procedural objections to impeachment as if the Senate can ignore constitutional protocols to instead “vote their conscience.” In the Feb. 16 monologue of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ Kimmel poked fun at McConnell’s refusal to vote
Will Cuomo Ever Be Held Accountable? Well, this is a start. Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York has seen his reputation go into a wild tailspin in the last couple of weeks. He’s yet another politician who never learned that the saying “the coverup is always worse than the crime” has endured for a reason.
Here’s something you don’t see every day. One of the world’s leading social media companies just cut off news from an entire nation. At first glance it sounds like Facebook run amok but after looking at it I’m not so sure the company doesn’t have a point. Here’s what’s going on. Australia is considering a

William F. Buckley Jr. Sixty-five years after William F. Buckley Jr. founded National Review, our movement continues to fight against the cultural Left and the aggrandizement of the state. On Thursday, February 18th, I invite you to join National Review Institute for its Virtual Ideas Summit Part I: Standing Athwart the Perennial Threat of Socialism.
The media giant’s death even provoked former President Trump out of sequester. He had a voice made for history. Rush Hudson Limbaugh III died Wednesday, after a long battle with lung cancer. He was 70. A Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, his death was immediately mourned by former President Donald Trump on Fox News, the
In the latest of the NewsBusters Podcast, executive editor Tim Graham tackles the second doomed impeachment attempt against Donald Trump. The Democrats and the media were outraged that the Republicans didn’t join them en masse in voting to convict Trump. They only secured seven instead of the necessary 17. But the spin was furious. “I
Joe Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked point-blank about whether Joe Biden would release any sort of statement about the death of Rush Limbaugh, and she didn’t have to circle back to it. “I can say — I’m not sure if we’ll release a statement from the President. He has spoken to — in
Earlier this month Evan Rachel Wood came forward and named Marilyn Manson aka Brian Warner as the person who had physically and sexually abused her a decade ago. Four other women also came forward at the same time and accused him of similar abuse. In a podcast episode released yesterday, Manson’s former assistant Dan Cleary
Icon, Legend, Leader….we have lost a part of our history. The Conservative movement is credited by most to President Ronald Reagan but many will say that it was the impact of Rush Limbaugh and his outreach to 20-30 million followers that is really the leader of the Movement. In a world of liberal media, it
We’re less than a month into the Biden administration, and it’s already become readily apparent that White House press secretary Jen Psaki is not very good at her job. Her most obvious tic thus far during evasive briefing-room performances is to dodge questions with the help of identity-politics non sequiturs. Her very first day on
YouTube has reportedly censored another medical doctor for the cardinal sin of discussing COVID-19. Dr. Drew Pinsky, known primarily as Dr. Drew, said that he was censored on YouTube, which has made him just the latest victim in YouTube’s rampage against “medical misinformation.” “Last week, YouTube struck down my video with another physician. Youtube is
The White House and Democrats in Congress are preparing to introduce a massive immigration bill this week, the centerpiece being a “path to citizenship” for undocumented workers. But Democrats are also preparing several interim bills that would deal with children who came to the U.S. with illegal parents, so-called “DREAMers” — farmworkers, and those here
We recently looked at an effort by Democrats and liberals to convince President Joe Biden to forgive large amounts of student debt via executive order if it couldn’t be done through congressional action. At the time, one of the primary questions that came to mind for me was, wait… can he do that? Apparently, I
Video footage from NBC News showed dynamite taking down a former Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino on Wednesday. Former President Donald Trump severed relationships with the Atlantic City, New Jersey casino in 2009 following multiple bankruptcy filings, though his name remained on the building for a short time, according to The New York Times on
So says the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget: “The goal of COVID relief is to end the pandemic, protect incomes, and support the economic recovery. The House bill not only spends far more than is needed to achieve these goals, but also puts too many of these plentiful dollars in the wrong places. Only
Just because CW’s horror series Two Sentence Horror Stories focused on transphobia doesn’t mean it forgot about other marginalized groups. The show’s two-episode season finale makes the bold statement that no monster or evil spirit can be as bad as the evil white man. The February 16 episodes “Ibej” and “Manifest Destiny” both focus on
The person who was formally known as Jonathan Yaniv, who now calls himself “Jessica Simpson,” became famous for trying to force salons to wax his testicles a few years ago and then continued to be in the news for predatory behavior like sexting minors on Facebook and Twitter. In 2019, there was finally some good
It’s impossible to tell anymore in populist rhetoric what’s a joke, what’s an applause line, and what’s being semi-seriously proposed. But just in case Bannon’s serious here, let me lend a strong note of support to the effort. Not because Trump would make a fine Speaker — to the contrary, it’s hard to imagine an
A petition to impeach Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reached 18,000 signatures Tuesday, state Assemblyman Kieran Lalor, who launched the petition Saturday, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Republican lawmaker started the petition in response to leaked audio of a closed door meeting between NY state Senate Democrats and Cuomo’s top aide Melissa DeRosa.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates in 2016. (Joshua Roberts/Reuters) The hyper elite intend to seize control of our economy and remake it in an anti-global warming/pandemic-preventing image. Thus, the Davos Crowd is pushing the “Great Reset” and Anthony Fauci wants to “remake the infrastructures of human existence.” Their goal? The destruction of entire ways of American
Hollywood elites are paid dramatizers. It’s no wonder they spewed hatred when Trump was acquitted. On Feb. 13, the Senate voted 57-43 to convict Trump of inciting insurrection and since 67 votes were required for conviction, Trump was acquitted. Since most of Hollywood is against Trump, or anything slightly right-wing, many celebrities were quick to
The Biden White House released this video of spokesperson Jen Psaki answering softball questions from Twitter. It’s shot with professional lighting and multiple cameras, so some thought must have gone into the production, if not the answers. Psaki picks the questions and therefore has all the time in the world to come up with answers.
