You Cannot Instill Fear Forever!

We have mentioned, many times before, how the COVID-19 panicdemic — and no, that’s not a typographical error; ‘panic’ is exactly what this has all been about — has promoted fear far more than combatting the virus. Though he was talking about national security rather than the virus, Glenn Greenwald got it absolutely right when …

New Report: Majority of Companies Are Planning Hiring Freezes or Layoffs, Increasing Likelihood of Recession

Despite a July Commerce Department report showing a second consecutive quarter of negative GDP growth, the classic definition of a recession, Biden administration officials insisted that continued strength in employment data proves otherwise.

The Problem Is Not Mass Incarceration; the Problem Is That Not Enough People Are Incarcerated!

Larry Krasner, the police-hating defense attorney sponsored by George Soros to become District Attorney in Philadelphia, really, really doesn’t like putting criminals in jail.

Republicans Don’t Have the Luxury of Challenging the Purity of Dr. Oz’s Conservatism
