By Alex J. Pollock The 21st century, only 23 years old, has already had two giant, international housing bubbles. It makes one doubt that we are getting any smarter with experience.

By Ethan Huff Every time a person gets injected with a covid “vaccine” or “booster,” his or her risk of testing “positive” for covid and later getting sick or dying increases substantially, according to a new study from the Cleveland Clinic. The paper appeared on the pre-print server medRxiv, showing that getting “vaccinated” and “boosted” […]
By Jeffrey Tucker From the beginning of the Covid panic, it felt that something was very wrong. Never had a pandemic, much less a seasonal pathogenic wave, been treated as a quasi-military emergency requiring the upending of all freedoms and rights. What made it more bizarre was how alone those of us who objected felt […]
By R. Cort Kirkwood So Twitter wasn’t just a “subsidiary” of the FBI, as the Twitter Files Part 6 revealed.

From Michael Shellenberger’s Twitter Files Part 7, we now know […]

By Joanne Nova Last Monday in Great Britain the entire steel industry shut down because the wind stopped and wholesale prices reached £2,586 a megawatt-hour.

By Rachel Alexander The trial court judge in Kari Lake’s election lawsuit predictably threw out her case on Saturday, putting on a sham trial that on the surface looked fair to the general public that doesn’t know any better, but to legal minds was a travesty of justice. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson […]
By Isabelle Morales President Biden’s policies have now cost the average American family about $7,100, according to a new report by the Heritage Foundation. While Democrats have proven time and time again that they value their social agenda more than Americans’ economic security, the level of harm represented in this figure is shocking… and infuriating. As the […]
By Justin Hart Here is Chapter Two of Gone Viral by Justin Hart Thanksgiving weekend came and went in 2021. The soothsayers of Team Apocalypse were wrong again—the sky didn’t fall.
