“Bloodbath” at the HHS
Big news over at the Department of Health and Human Services this week. One headline called it a “mass culling” of longtime scientists and bureaucrats, (including, it appears, Dr. Fauci’s wife, Christine Grady—aka the bioethicist who neglected to investigate the ethics of her husband conducting gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

Why do countries get bombed for rejecting Western banks?
Have you ever noticed that the countries we’re told to hate always seem to have a few things in common? They don’t have McDonald’s on every corner. They don’t take out IMF loans. And they don’t peg their currency to the U.S. dollar. In fact, many of them flatly refuse to play ball with the […]

I wonder what prompted this sudden introspection and resolution? Could it have anything to do with Donald Trump’s campaign promise […]

Inflation Isn’t Just About Prices—It’s Happening in Higher Ed Too
Have you ever noticed how, whenever prices start rising, politicians point the finger at “corporate greed”? They want us to believe that, overnight, companies suddenly decide they can charge you more for groceries, gas, or pretty much everything you buy. Give me a break. Inflation isn’t caused by businesses trying to pad their profits—it’s caused […]
