I absolutely, positively agree that the collapse of public trust in our elites in general, and our public health elites in particular, is tragic and will prove to be one of the factors that bring down our civilization. Advertisement Unfortunately, unlike many of the people who are wringing their hands over that collapse, I understand exactly WHY trust in our elites has collapsed, and attribute it to the behavior of those elites. Nobody trusts them anymore because they are not in the least trustworthy, at least as a class. There are plenty of scientists, doctors, policy analysts, and journalists who do…

As Republicans in Congress debate whether to extend COVID-19-era health care premium tax credits, a prominent conservative organization is warning lawmakers not to abandon pro-life priorities. The Advancing American Freedom Foundation memorandum, titled “How Obamacare Subsidies Pay for Abortions,” lays out a loophole in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, which allows for taxpayer dollars to subsidize abortions. “While the legislative text of [Obamacare] says that an insurance plan ‘shall not use any amount attributable’ to the federal tax credit to pay for abortion services, the legislation allows subsidies to fund plans that cover abortions,” it reads. “As written…
Article written by Don Via, Jr.During his first term, the Trump Administration’s legalization of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill was seen as a fantastic win in the crusade to legalize cannabis across the country. Thanks to the bill, not only was hemp cultivation legalized for industrial use, but an additional loophole also paved the way for the legalization of a psychoactive cannabinoid known as Delta-8-THC, which has received high praise for its numerous medicinal uses without the accompanying intensity that comes with a typical cannabis high. According to the National Cancer Institute, delta-8-THC can be defined as: “An analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating,…

Democrats have found that hoaxes are a great way to destroy their political opponents and have relied strongly on them to attack Donald Trump. The first hoax was the Steele Dossier, and the latest is the Epstein files, and a photograph Democrats altered.

MS Now reported that the photo with faces blacked out purports to show Trump pictured with underage girls and potential victims of Epstein. It’s a lie, and they had to…

The Chaplain Corps has become too soft and emotional, lacking the “faith and virtue” inherent to its establishment by George Washington 250 years ago, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said late Tuesday on X in announcing an overhaul of the organization to make it “great again.””In an atmosphere of political correctness and secular humanism” in what Hegseth termed “recent decades,” chaplains were remade into “therapists instead of ministers” while “self-help and self-care” reigned in a system defined by “new age” concepts, he said. One glaring example of this is the Army’s spiritual fitness guide, which refers to feelings and “playfulness,…
In a hard-hitting segment on Newsmax’s The Chris Salcedo Show Tuesday night, Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell joined host Chris Salcedo to break down President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC.

Trump’s BBC lawsuit stems from the state-owned media’s deceptive editing of his January 6, 2021, speech in a Panorama documentary. By splicing comments made nearly an hour apart—omitting Trump’s calls for peace—the BBC falsely portrayed him as inciting violence. Salcedo kicked off by noting Trump’s prior…
