Alex Epstein5-Minute Videos – Oct 19, 2015 – Prager U Are wind and solar power the answer to our energy needs? There’s a lot of sun and a lot of wind. They’re free. They’re clean. No CO2 emissions. So, what’s the problem? Why do solar and wind combined provide less than 2% of the world’s energy? To answer these questions, we need to understand what makes energy, or anything else for that matter, cheap and plentiful. For something to be cheap and plentiful, every part of the process to produce it, including every input that goes into it, must be cheap and … Continue reading Can We Rely on Wind and Solar Energy?
BY: MARK HEMINGWAY – MARCH 26, 2024 – The Federalist My cmnt: This clownish, corrupt, democrat judge claims, with no expertise in real estate at all, that President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago prime, ocean-front 28 acre estate is worth $18 million is laughable. Neighboring estates of much smaller and less developed status are easily selling for $100 million. Trump’s estate is much closer to $800 million to $1 billion, depending on who may want to buy it. It’s pretty clear at this point that Democrats’ main election strategy against Donald Trump has nothing to do with Joe Biden running a savvy political campaign. … Continue reading New York’s Fraud Judgment Against Trump Is So Bad, Even His Biggest Critics Aren’t Defending It
Two musky steroids, and higher levels of odorous acids, distinguish the body odors of adolescents and tots. Scientists collected body odor samples from 18 young children and 18 teenagers.Credit…Catharine Bott By Emily Anthes – March 21, 2024 – The New York Times Few parents would describe the smells emanating from their adolescent children as redolent of sandalwood. But one of the distinct components of teenage body odor is a compound that evokes that warm, woody fragrance, according to a small new study, which compared the scents of adolescents to those of infants and toddlers. Unfortunately, that’s just about where the good news … Continue reading Toddlers Smell Like Flowers, Teens Smell ‘Goatlike,’ Study Finds
Pariah or Paragon? The main difference between Sweden’s strategy and that of most other countries was that it mostly relied on voluntary adaptation rather than government force.

My cmnt: Having lived thru the previous worse economy under democrat president Jimmy Carter I recognize a dismal economy when I’m in it. Under the liberal, mentally ill Carter we had record (at least since the democrat-led, FDR Great Depression of the 30s) yearly double-digit inflation (11+%), double-digit unemployment (10+%), double-digit mortgage rates (16-18%), double-digit interest rates (20+%) and severe gas shortages combined with the doubling of gas prices when you could get it. Sound familiar? Yep, it would take another democrat to ruin the great Trump economy and gas prices to usher in the dismal Biden economy. My cmnt: … Continue reading Setting the record straight: Bidenomics is a dismal failure
Katie Pavlich | March 19, 2024 3:00 PM – Townhall.com My cmnt: This is absolutely the best news I’ve heard all day. If so-called sanctuary cities and states can brazenly ignore and violate federal statues and laws governing illegal immigration and the processing of illegal aliens then surely Texas can defend itself against a foreign invasion the democrat traitors refuse to address. UPDATE: The White House has issued a response through Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre: We fundamentally disagree with the Supreme Court’s order allowing Texas’ harmful and unconstitutional law to go into effect. S.B. 4 will not only make communities … Continue reading BREAKING: SCOTUS Just Gave Texas a Green Light to Arrest Illegals and Much More
Many governors are undertaking salutary but desultory anti-DEI actions. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has taken a root-and-branch approach. BY: SCOTT YENOR – MARCH 07, 2024 – The Federalist Last week, the University of Florida announced that 13 full-time diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions had been eliminated, and 15 faculty members had their administrative appointments terminated. Similar announcements came from Florida International University and the University of North Florida. New College and University of South Florida dismantled DEI offices earlier. Only the University of Central Florida is openly defying Florida’s 2023 ban on DEI. DEI ideology has flourished in our nation’s academic institutions, where it long ago captured faculties and then administrators. … Continue reading If We Want Western Civilization To Survive, DEI Cannot
Celebrating the resilience, creativity, and contribution of the nation’s African founders. by Diana Schaub – Spring 2023 – Claremont Review of Books Who founded the United States? Although Americans give special accolades to a few indispensable individuals, we clearly have no single founder—no one like Lycurgus, who gave Sparta its laws and way of life. Instead, we have founders—plural—and often refer to the founding generation or the founding era. This difference between the ancient lawgiver and the modern phenomenon of elected representatives acting on behalf of the people is remarked on by Publius (himself the plural creation of James Madison, … Continue reading African Founders: How Enslaved People expanded American ideals
by Jeffrey H. Anderson – Winter 2023/24 – Claremont Review of Books It’s still hard to believe that Americans recently lived through a period in which executive officials, with no legislative involvement, ordered churches, shops, and schools to be closed, forced Americans to hide their faces behind masks, and even demanded that they be fired for not taking experimental vaccines. Yet that was life in America—at least in many states—throughout much of 2020, 2021, and even 2022. Now, an Olympiad removed from the arrival of the apparently human-enhanced Wuhan virus on our shores, it seems clear that the lockdown and … Continue reading Covid Catastrophes: The Big Fail

JOHN NOLTE – 12 Mar 2024 – Breitbart With only 19.5 million viewers, Sunday night’s Academy Awards bombed with the fourth-lowest viewership in Oscar history. Naturally, the sycophants in the corporate media who need Hollywood’s ad dollars and refuse to admit America will never embrace their fascist Woke Revolution are spinning this failure with these howler headlines: “Oscars 2024 Hit 4-Year Viewership High With 19.5 Million” and “TV Ratings: Oscars Score Post-Pandemic Highs” and “‘Barbenheimer,’ and an Early Start, Boost Oscar Ratings to 4-Year High.” But facts are facts, and a mere ten years ago, in 2014, the Oscar telecast drew 43.7 million viewers. Hell, … Continue reading Dying Oscar Telecast Bombs with 4th Lowest Ratings in History

By MICK LINDGREN – Aug 6, 2011, Updated Nov 9, 2015 – Lincoln Journal Star I recently heard an ad on the radio from Let’s Move, Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign. It stated that nearly one in three children in American are overweight or obese. The numbers are even higher in African-American and Hispanic communities, where nearly 40 percent of the children are overweight or obese. Then, within the same hour, I heard an ad for the Food Bank of Lincoln stating that one in four children in America are hungry. Looking at their website, this could mean they do not have enough … Continue reading Local View: Observations about hunger from a school custodian

Should the world stop using fossil fuels—oil, coal, and natural gas? Or should we embrace them as an essential part of modern life? Alex Epstein explores these questions. Alex Epstein5-Minute Videos – Apr 17, 2023 – for Prager U The world needs more fossil fuels—more oil, coal, and natural gas. Not less. Does that sound crazy? It’s actually not—not if you employ one common-sense principle. It’s the same principle you use when you decide whether to take a prescription drug. Carefully weigh the benefits and the negative side effects. If the benefits of using fossil fuels outweigh the negative side … Continue reading Fossil Fuels: The Big Picture
By Daily Wire – Mar 9, 2024 DailyWire.com Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro revealed the top five things Americans need to know about Russia in the latest episode of “Facts.” In the episode, which was released Saturday morning, Shapiro explained that Russia had been a focus of U.S. foreign policy for decades because of its proximity to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Maravich participated in college hoops at a time before freshman eligibility for varsity teams. And though Maravich was known to be a long-range bomber, he played while limited to two-point shots. In Caitlin’s favor she did have to endure/play during the democrat-hyped Covid-19 shortened season but that she still was not as great as Pete. College basketball player Caitlin Clark surpassed “Pistol Pete” Maravich on Sunday to break the NCAA’s all-time scoring record that has stood for … Continue reading Caitlin Clark Breaks NCAA Scoring Record Set By ‘Pistol Pete’ Maravich
These two movies constitute the single greatest science fiction epic movie achievement of all time. By Ben Shapiro – Mar 2, 2024 DailyWire.com I just saw “Dune: Part Two.” I have many thoughts. Let’s begin with the fact that “Dune: Part One” and “Dune: Part Two” — which encompass the whole of Frank Herbert’s original “Dune” — these two movies constitute the single greatest science fiction epic movie achievement of all time. It looks absolutely phenomenal. The acting is top notch, the score is great, and it has probably the best visual effects I’ve ever seen on film because you don’t … Continue reading Ben Shapiro Reviews ‘Dune: Part Two’

By Staff – The Washington Times – Friday, March 1, 2024 My cmnt: Obesity is the new concern of the liberal elites. Even M&Ms has produced an obese cartoon character to show they are not prejudice against obese women (some of their biggest (no pun intended) customers). Michele Obama was very concerned about childhood obesity in America and so ruined the school lunches so that the kids won’t eat them. As far a Leftists alarmists go: If it isn’t one thing it’s another but it’s always something.

Judaism and Christianity are the only two religions that share a sacred text and a fundamental set of values. These values created and sustained Western Civilization. But now many want to discard them. If we do, at what cost? by Dennis Prager – Prager 5-min videos – May 22, 2023 Have you ever heard the term, “Judeo-Christian values?” I suspect you have.

BY: HAYDEN LUDWIG – The Federalist OCTOBER 23, 2023 Ivory tower elites were quick to hail the drug addict George Floyd as a national hero. With Hamas’ attack, they’re not so black-and-white. If the last three years have proven anything, it’s that America’s top universities are deeply sick, and “progressive” ideology is to blame. In 2020, left-wing faculty made certain everyone knows that Black Lives Matter and shamed anyone who was skeptical of that Marxist-led organization. Flash forward to October 2023, and these same crusaders couldn’t care less about slaughtered, tortured, beheaded, and dismembered Israeli Jews — and we have it in writing. … Continue reading Compare How University Elites Responded To George Floyd’s Death And The Innocent Israeli Massacre

The lights are going off in South Africa. by Helen Andrews – Claremont Review of Books – Winter 2022/23 My cmnt: The following review of Eve Fairbank’s book by Helen Andrews does a thorough job of rebutting Fairbank’s claims that South African blacks failures are the result of the so-called legacy of apartheid rather than their failure to understand that wealth and prosperity do not just fall from the sky.

By Michael Hiltzik Business Columnist – Nov. 24, 2023 – LA Times Myths and canards about Social Security and its supposed fiscal troubles have steadily proliferated over the years. But it’s rare to find them all concentrated in one place as they were in a recent article on the online news site Slate. Slate paired Eric Boehm, a writer for the conservative magazine Reason, with a writer named Celeste Headlee for a dialogue titled “Social Security Doesn’t Make Sense Anymore.” The roughly 2,000-word piece contained so many misconceptions, inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and flat-out lies about the program that I almost gave up … Continue reading An exhaustive debunking of the dumbest myths about Social Security

The Left after Hamas. by William Voegeli – Fall 2023 – The Claremont Review of Books Even making allowances for the fact that political campaigns are not academic seminars, the anti-woke candidates have struggled to clarify what it is they deplore, and why it’s a menace. “Basically,” Ramaswamy wrote in his book, “being woke means obsessing about race, gender, and sexual orientation. Maybe climate change too. That’s the best definition I can give.” DeSantis’s was not much more illuminating. “Woke is an existential threat to our society,” he told a reporter in June.

The enemy of today’s ruling power is us. by Michael Anton – Fall 2023 – Claremont Review of Books Glenn Ellmers’s The Narrow Passage is a strange little book that is hard to summarize.

Rarely is so short a book so densely argued—so packed with ideas and information that what begins as a precis veers into what feels like a full recounting. Still, one must do one’s best—especially in the case of a book that answers two of the most burning practical and theoretical questions of our time: what is … Continue reading Woke Dilemmas
