Student organizers at 50 different high schools across the country are banding together to launch the “Green New Deal for Schools Campaign.” The hope of the campaign is to get district-wide climate policies enacted, with the ultimate goal of obtaining federal legislation to change schools across the country. The campaign has been set up by the Sunrise Movement, a youth climate justice organization that says this initiative is “in response to attacks from the Right on the American education system.” “The Green New Deal for Schools will transform public schools in America to face the climate crisis and ensure all...

A Russian court has charged Timofey Yefremov, deputy editor-in-chief of the news site Yakutia.info, with “discrediting the Russian army” for a comment he made in an interview with the television channel Dozhd about women in Yakutsk who protested against the war in Ukraine on September 25. The court ruled that Yefremov “discredited” the army when he said the phrase “You won’t send a woman to the front.” According to the official ruling, a “front” can only exist in a war, and because Russia is conducting a “special military operation” rather than war, Yefremov should have used the term “line of...

Mainstream bioethics thinking is growing increasingly authoritarian. There is a huge difference between a law that requires wrapping a cloth belt around one’s body while in a moving car and injecting chemicals into one’s system. Yes, both acts involve attempts to promote public safety. But the former’s interference with liberty is de minimus, while the latter is one of the most potentially portentous that can be asked of people. In free societies, legal mandates must be reasonable. A national vaccination mandate — which would be unprecedented — fails that test. Primary Menu National Review Share on Facebook Share on Twitter...

This is a continuation of my previous post reviewing my experience with Front Line Doctors. My last post ended with me waiting til today, Monday August 16, 2021, to hear from Berkley pharmacy.

This number is supposed to be to “Ravkoo”. 20 minutes later I got a call from Berkley Pharmacy and spoke to someone with an Indian accent. He told...

Griffith University’s Dr Peta-Anne Zimmerman says the Queensland government’s proposal to implement hotel quarantine for international travellers at remote facilities such as mining camps, “would take a lot of strategic planning and risk assessment”. “The human resources required is massive … and equally if we move to mining camps, the human resources implications are massive there as well,” she told Sky News host Chris Smith. Dr Zimmerman said the mining camp communities “would not be able to provide” the people needed for the quarantine efforts and another solution is needed. "The communities from where these mining camps are would not...

The answers may be easier to ascertain than one would expectMost...

I'm planning on buying a new washer and dryer in the next few months and my wife has always wanted a front loading washer. Everyone I talk to including my mother, my sister and my best friend's wife tells me whatever I do DO NOT get a front loading washing machine. I have been told they get mildew-y, they leak, they tear up easily and that they just don't clean your clothes as well as a good top loader. All my washers to date have been top loaders and, excluding a part here or there, have each lasted more than...

Mr. Perry spent his first six years in politics as a Democrat... A raging liberal he was not... He was one of a handful of freshman “pit bulls,” so named because they sat in the lower pit of the House Appropriations Committee, where they fought to keep spending low. But Mr. Perry cast some votes and took a few stands that seem to be at odds with his fiscal conservatism today. The most vivid example is his support of the $5.7 billion tax hike in 1987, signed by Gov. Bill Clements, a Republican, opposed by most Republican members. The bill...
