Biden's energy absurdityPaula Bolyard: On Friday, Joe Biden hit the campaign trail in California and gave a speech at a semiconductor company in Carlsbad.

Guess what? It cost them too much money. They can’t count. No one is b... read more

People think that the "madman theory" in geopolitics started with Richard Nixon and his failed negotiations with the North Vietnamese in 1971. It didn't. It had originated with Niccolò Machiavelli.

America Leads The World In Science - And Anti-Science Conspiracy TheoriesWith a tiny fraction of the world population, the United States dominates science output.
