Anthony Fauci: When Politics Trumps Science
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States became a very public event, the one face that has become most familiar to Americans is that of Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and perhaps the second most polarizing figure in the crisis, next to President Donald Trump.

That's something climate alarmists haven't wanted done, which is why they've insisted for decades that … [Read more...]
Brett Kavanaugh—A Strong Choice for the Supreme Court
Tuesday night President Donald Trump announced that Brett Kavanaugh was his choice for his second appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. This choice was met with wailing and gnashing of teeth by left-leaning pundits and activists claiming this would be the end of a woman's "choice" to kill her pre-born baby.

Import Tariffs: Good, Bad, or a Mixed Bag?
A friend wrote me today asking what I thought about President Donald Trump's recent steps to impose new or higher tariffs on some imports. He appreciated my response, so I thought readers here might appreciate it as well.
