For 14 months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended draconian restrictions on Americans’ daily lives to combat the spread of COVID-19. The CDC disregarded the psychological hardships and economic losses the restrictions inflicted. Now the evidence is emerging that the restrictions were based on flimsy science or sheer guesswork.       Last week, MIT researchers showed that the CDC’s six-foot

Top congressional Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, are pushing new laws to stamp out “domestic terrorism.” But they’re targeting only right-wing organizations. If rioters are looting and setting fires for a leftist cause, that’s OK. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a better approach. He signed a law Monday that guarantees violent protesters who destroy property

In the race to save lives from the novel coronavirus, the United States and Britain are winning. A stunning 47 percent of UK residents and 36 percent of US residents have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Compare that with the European Union, where only 15 percent of the population has gotten at least one jab.  America and

On Monday, Justice Clarence Thomas announced that the Supreme Court soon will have to put an end to big tech tyranny. He cited the “glaring” problem of social media platforms like Facebook and Google wielding unlimited power to censor users whose views they don’t like. These tech giants, he argued, ought to be regulated like

On Tuesday, a long-awaited joint report from the World Health Organization and Beijing provided no answers about the origins of the virus emanating from China that has killed 2.7 million people so far. Mankind is desperate for the truth, but the Chinese Communist Party is giving the world the runaround.   Meanwhile, China is conducting dangerous laboratory research on how to manipulate viruses naturally

If a plane goes down, there has to be an investigation to ensure accountability and reassure other flyers. But a virus from China has killed 540,000 people in our country so far — equal to 2,000 jumbo-jet crashes — and the Biden administration is doing almost nothing to get to the bottom of it. Scientists worldwide are divided over

The Biden administration is scrambling to shelter thousands of unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border from Central America. Which means the crisis at the border will also be heading to your school district soon.  If your kids are in public school or you pay school taxes, you need to know the facts. The media show photos of young

President Biden’s health honcho, Rochelle Walensky, announced Monday that vaccinated Americans can visit with others who are vaccinated in small groups at home. But when Walensky was asked about visiting grandchildren, she said no, unless the kids are local. Even vaccinated people must avoid traveling, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention insisted: “Every time there’s a surge

Nancy Pelosi wants to turn America into a one-party nation. The House speaker has no qualms about trashing the Constitution to kneecap her Republican opponents. Her bill HR 1, which will be voted on this week, would rig the electoral system to favor Democrats. HR 1 is being sold as a reform to make voting easier.

Dr. Rachel Levine’s nomination to be assistant secretary of Health and Human Services is being hailed as “historic” by Democrats and the media, solely because Levine is transgender. That’s crazy. Her own sexual identity should be irrelevant. What’s needed, especially during the pandemic, is competence. Levine lacks it. As Pennsylvania health secretary, Levine was in
