Horror Show in Shanghai: Babies Taken from Parents to Quarantine Centers, Drones and Police Dogs Patrol Deserted Streets in China’s Largest City
In early 2020, something happened that changed the course of the world and affected everyone's life forever. And no, it was NOT the outbreak of a deadly new coronavirus. It was the fear over a deadly new virus that authorities in China used to convince over 50 million people in the Wuhan City area to voluntarily lock themselves down in response to that fear. The plan worked, perhaps better than anyone had ever imagined, and it became the blueprint for the rest of the world, as nearly every other country in the world followed suit and began to lock down their populations, and the ... read more

Democrats created the energy crisis
Katie Pavlich: For weeks the Biden administration and their Democratic allies on Capitol Hill have attempted to pin out of control energy prices on Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. The White House communications team even dubbed price increases on oil and gas the "Putin price hike," while also downplaying the amount of oil the U.S. previously imported from Russia. But as Democrats -- who have been waging a war on the oil and gas industry -- continue to blame Putin, Americans and some in the media aren't buying it.
