In response to former President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from his predecessor Barack Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden announced that, if elected, he would reenter the deal and “work with our allies to make it longer and stronger.” This, Biden claimed, would curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions and moderate its malign behavior. He was and is wrong. The mere fact that Biden claimed to be seeking a “longer and stronger” deal puts the lie to Obama and his Secretary of State John Kerry’s repeated claims that the 2015 deal blocked all paths to an Iranian nuclear weapon. In...

LOL: WH Press Sec Jean-Pierre Calls Roe v. Wade Reversal ‘Unconstitutional’ White House press propagandist Karine Jean-Pierre rightly took heat Wednesday on social media after she claimed that the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade was an “unconstitutional action.” “From day one, when the Supreme Court made this extreme decision to take away a constitutional right, it was an unconstitutional action by them,” she said. She then described abortion as “a right that was around for almost 50 years,” as well as “a right that women had to make a decision on their bodies and how they want to...

This is a well-done short dramatization of the issues and logic and pursuit of facts about the Covid-19 vaccine and about treatment that works and the massive, totalitarian censorship of the truth, focusing on how this played out in particular in California, where the the person in charge of the Board of Medicine has zero training in medicine. This one of a set of short clear, factual presentations on the important website spelling out with data the scope of the lies and repression of facts and people.

Arab Israeli Zionist activist Yoseph Haddad participated in a UN Watch press conference in response to the latest United Nations document, the “Pillay Report,” which “turns a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism and embraces the Hamas narrative that Israel is the root cause of all conflict,”according to UN Watch. “As an Israeli, I am not surprised to be discussing another UN report which excessively bashed my country here in the UN in Geneva. In fact, it’s more of the same old same old,” Haddad said. “But you know what? As an Arab, I’m absolutely fed up. I’m fed up because...

A student at Uvalde High School in Texas who says he knew Salvador Ramos rejected the prevailing media narrative that the gunman was the victim of bullying, and this was the catalyst for his May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.

Victor Davis Hanson, eminent classicist, provides this warning to Americans in the lead of his most recent article at Epoch Times, updated May 16: Americans are now entering uncharted, revolutionary territory. They may witness things over the next five months that once would have seemed unimaginable. It may prove in this momentous decade that the American Empire falls. But take heart, because the fall of the empire — aren't all empires finally a bundle of conceits destined to collapse? — may lead to the revival of the American Republic. The visions of empire and republic are as starkly different as...

We discuss her extensive research into Chinese Communist Party influence in America, from TikTok to compromised “fact-checkers” to...

Many election operatives know that elections are won or lost because of process. For decades, one side has been focused on policy, big ideas, and winning debates. Meanwhile, the other side has been focused on process and the rules of the elections game. A war is taking place..that has nothing to do with voting machines being controlled by Italian satellites or Internet hackers. They don't need to be. Election process fights have become a Darwinian "survival of the fittest." Whichever side can effectively adapt to a new technological or cultural environment often determines who wins, who loses. In 2020, an...

Rand Paul (R-KY) grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci during a hearing on the Chinese coronavirus Tuesday over his prior claim that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has never funded gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Paul’s presentation triggered President Biden’s chief medical adviser, who refused to retract his May 11 statement and instead snapped at the Kentucky senator, brazenly telling Paul, “you do not know what you are talking about.” “Dr. Fauci, as you are aware it is a crime to lie to Congress,” Paul began during the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor &...
