The Left only pretends to want to make the world a better place. It doesn’t care about governing, y’know, managing national affairs, and it wouldn’t know how - as no one has demonstrated better than “Joe Biden” and the shadowy wrecking crew running him behind the scenes. The Left actually just seeks to punish its adversaries, and it generates ever-new adversities and animosities in its quest to lay on mo... read more

The Russian pretext for invading UkraineJohn Sexton: Nearly three weeks ago US intelligence claimed it had information on Russia’s plan for a false flag attack which it would use to justify an invasion of Ukraine. But at the time the details of the Russian plan weren’t revealed. Today, the *NY Times* reports details of the plan are being revealed in an attempt to spoil the effort. The plan was to create an incendiary video. The plan — which the United States hopes to spoil by making public — involves staging and filming a fabricated attack by the Ukrainian military either on Russian territory or against Russian-speaki... read more

What is driving down Facebook views?Monica Showalter: ... Get woke, go broke. It applies even to the big boys. In Facebook's case, that behavior has taken on approximately three pernicious forms. One, the data-harvesting, and data-mining on users, in order to "nudge" and influence them. Plenty of people don't like that even for commercial purposes, but the fact that Facebook moved in a political direction is especially obnoxious. Facebook has hired lots of Democrat party operatives, presumably to lobby Washington, but just as likely to manipulate Facebook's users into voting "Democrat" through the miracle of ... read more

It’s all part of the president’s executive order to “build a new energy economy that will create millions of new jobs.” Except the executive order won’t accomplish this, not least because it rests on an assumption that endless green energy subsidies will produce boundless economic growth.
