Now, his new book, “Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up,” reveals details about the origins of Covid and the government's deceit. “So, evil Chinese scientists in a lab funded by America?” I...

I owe the jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case a big apology. I was certain that, faced with the leftist mob's intimidation, they would find Kyle guilty. Instead, based upon overwhelming evidence that Kyle acted in self-defense, they acquitted him on all charges.
