The Salt Lake Tribune (SLT) ran an article on March 31, titled “Climate change may push the U.S. toward the ‘goldilocks zone’ for West Nile Virus.” The story is based on previously disproven assumptions which make a false connection between climate change and insect borne diseases.

Putin war crimes and atrocities
Guardian: As horrifying images and testimony have emerged from Bucha, the Ukrainian town 35 miles north-west of the capital, Kyiv, it is becoming ever more likely that Vladimir Putin has operated by a strict playbook in the north of Ukraine as with elsewhere in the country that has served him well for decades, albeit at a heavy cost to his army. First, there are the initial errors, including the underestimation of the enemy. Putin’s attack on the Chechen capital, Grozny, in 1999, was as unsuccessful as the attempt to decapitate Ukraine’s leadership in Kyiv within a few days of h... read more

The WaPo's limited hangout on Hunter's laptop story
Fox News: A Sunday editorial from the Washington Post editorial board called for a public reckoning over the media's handling over the Hunter Biden laptop story.

A Milestone in the Objectivist Movement
At last! The philosophy of reality, reasoning independent minds, individual self-interest, and a free market society always had to recognize that its movement had to embrace all of these within itself. Yet the Ayn Rand Institute long refused to do this. To an apparently significant degree, ARI is now ready to do a better job of doing so and allow a popular movement to blossom without excessive schisms and attempts to control all Objectivist thinkers. We have always needed more recognition that independent-minded individuals with their many varied interests and experiences would r... read more

Russian war crimes alleged in Ukraine
Washington Examiner: Ukraine's top prosecutor said on Sunday that so far, the bodies of 410 dead civilians have been found in recently liberated towns outside Kyiv, a massacre that one Ukrainian official is calling a "planned genocide."

Biden's government greed
Stephen Moore: President Joe Biden has just proposed the biggest federal budget request in U.S. history–with the exception of his near $7 trillion spent last year. When I came to Washington in 1985, the federal budget hit $1 trillion. Now, we are in the $6 trillion to $7 trillion range, and we wonder how it is that the debt has rocketed to $30 trillion. The obvious solution—given the hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud in the budget and the end of special spending needs to combat COVID—would be to put government on a strict spending diet. Not only would this lower... read more
