Longtime readers know that I am obsessed with the declining reliability of our scientific establishment. I don’t want to romanticize the past; it’s not like science in the real world has ever matched the useful myths we built around it. As a human enterprise, it is vulnerable to the same flaws as any other human institution. Petty differences, ego-driven decisions, individual corruption, fraud, and all the maladies that inevitably plague us. Advertisement Still, the distance between the ideal version of science and reality has never been as large as it is today. Science is now a massive industry with few checks…

Democrats think they have the perfect candidate to unseat Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins, and the media seems to be on board with their plan. The U.S. Senate race in Maine pits five-term incumbent Sen. Collins against Democratic challenger Graham Platner, a highly scandalous political newcomer. His campaign gained rapid traction through a left-wing populist message focused on economic discontent, working-class issues, and criticism of corporate influence.

With midterm elections looming on the horizon, Democrats are only just beginning to examine their party’s flaws and analyze the failure of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s disastrous 2024 presidential campaign.

AfD supporters rally in Germany The Alternative for Germany (AfD), the country’s sole right-wing, anti-globalist party, has surged to a record 42% in the eastern state of Saxony, putting the party within striking distance of an outright majority and raising the real possibility it could soon govern alone if it gains just a few more percentage points. With analysts estimating that around 46% would be enough to secure a single-party government, the latest polling data suggests that threshold is now within reach. The development marks a potential political shift that could reshape Germany’s power structure. The numbers place the AfD…

“Is The View a ‘bona fide news interview program’?” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr asked the public in Friday X post announcing that the Federal Communications Commission was opening public comment on Disney’s petition demanding a ruling in their favor.

On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee’s 2024 autopsy finally reached the public view, and its error-filled, omission-laden contents were laid bare following a much-ballyhooed, will-they-or-won’t-they-release-it strategy by Chairman Ken Martin as the party struggles to achieve basic aims like fundraising. Unsurprisingly, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC ignored it on their flagship Thursday night and Friday morning newscasts. Along with having received heavy coverage on cable, the autopsy was still on the radar of these networks in the form of stories online and copious coverage on their respective streaming channels of ABC News Live, CBS News 24/7, and…

TV reporter Billy Bush went off on Karen Bass, and the timing couldn’t have been worse for the embattled mayor. Bush fumed after he reportedly got his fourth flat tire since November, and the kicker… he was on his way to interview Bass’ mayoral opponent, Spencer Pratt. “Karen Bass, your timing could not be worse,” he fumed. Pratt has captured the national spotlight for his common-sense, unconventional, often humorous but always hard-hitting campaign and debate style. Pratt’s home was burned to smithereens in the Palisades fire, and he blames Bass’ lack of leadership for much of the destruction, along with…
