In a recent email from The Dispatch, Scott Lincicome wrote an article titled “Offshore Headwinds” about the ambitious “green” plans by Leftists in the U.S. and the reality checks they are experiencing in their attempts to implement them. As one who has been skeptical of climate change alarmism (and the proposed “solutions”) from the beginning […]
“One fish, two fish; red fish, blue fish.” — Dr. Seuss In case you missed it, Sean Hannity recently hosted “The Great Red State vs. Blue State Debate” between Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom. The idea was ostensibly to compare & contrast what happens when conservative policies are in effect versus when progressive policies are […]
“You cannot understand the Palestinian refugee question while not at the same time also understanding the broader historical, political, and legal circumstances surrounding the issue.” — Lex Takkenberg, a senior advisor for the Jordan-based Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development When reading or listening to the discussions about the Israeli/Hamas conflict, you might have wondered […]
“No Peace with Israel. No Recognition of Israel. No Negotiations with Israel.” — statement from the Arab League Summit (1967) It wasn’t easy to choose a topic for this week, but I eventually decided on the Israel vs. Palestine/Hamas war.

The Daily Signal‘s Fred Lucas has provided seven takeaways, which I will give here in shortened […]
“There are costly damages associated with climate change. But there are also costly damages associated with climate policies. Too many politicians and the media focus only on the former.” — Bjorn Lomborg As I sometimes do, I’d like to share an excerpt or three from Hillsdale College’s Imprimis newsletter. This time it is from a […]
“The Church of Diversity waxes strong. All must be cleansed; all must be saved.” — Vivek Ramaswamy, Woke, Inc. As I have said before, Vivek Ramaswamy is not my first (or second, or third) choice among the GOP’s current presidential candidates. But, he is anti-woke, and I think he has some good ideas.

Jesuit priest/journalist Thomas Reese recently wrote a piece for “Religion News Service”, in which he discusses Pope Francis and some of his critics (within Catholicism) on the topic of God’s mercy vs. justice. “Deep in our hearts, we want Batman for God, someone who will beat up our enemies and punish evildoers. We really don’t […]
“[Joe Biden] was aware of Hunter’s business. He met with Hunter’s business partners.” — Devon Archer, being interviewed by Tucker Carlson I originally had something different in mind for this week.
