The Dems desperation to thwart democracy to keep Trump from running
Derek Hunter: If you were to tell me that someone in politics is corrupt, criminally corrupt, I'd be open to believing you, but I wouldn't join you in calling for their head without a little something called evidence. Not your thoughts, not your conclusions, your women's intuition, or your Spidey sense tingling, I'd need proof. While there is no lack of haters of former President Donald Trump screaming at the top of their lungs about the former, the latter is where they lose not only me but should lose everyone.

Biden ignores problems but fights the weather
Scott Johnson: The presidency of Joe Biden has brought on a series of emergencies since the first day of his administration: the erasure of our southern border and a horde of illegal immigrants. Historic levels of inflation. The suppression of our homegrown energy production. The demoralization of the armed forces. New lows in gender dysphoria and the culture wars. All this in 18 months and we’ve only just begun. Yet Biden rattles on about the “climate emergency.” He can’t do a damn thing to change the “climate.” He can only further immiserate the American people. It is the pri... read more

Andrea Widburg: ... Significantly, the president is the end of the line for whether material is classified or not. If he says it's not, then it isn't. With that declassification order in place, Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, sent a message to the Department of Justice asking the DOJ to release the documents as expeditiously as possible: "I am returning the bulk of the binder of declassified documents to the Department of Justice (including all that appear to have a potential to raise privacy concerns) with the instruction that the Department must expeditiously conduct ... read more

"There Was A Tale He Had Read Once..."

There was a clump of strawberries beside him, and certain death above him and below. What should he do? went the question. And the reply was, Eat the strawberries.

Many Young Scientists Want To Publish Open Access, They Just Don't Want To Pay For It
Few researchers would commit half of each day to science if they were doing it for free but they are no different than other occupations in believing that economic necessity is a bubble surrounding...themselves.(1) Publishing is not exempt from the double standard.
