Commentary The title of a new Oxford University study, “COVID-19 is a leading cause of death in children and young people in the US,” is as shocking as it is misleading.

Commentary By now, most teachers have heard about ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence program with an uncanny ability to write clear, coherent, and compelling paragraphs about almost any topic under the sun. Whether you need a 1,000-word essay (with references!) summarizing the history of Canada, a 500-word article extolling the virtues of your favourite city, or…
Yes, Biden Admin and the Left Are Coming for Your Gas Stove One Way or Another
Commentary Remember when worries about the government coming for your gas stove were dismissed as just another conservative fever dream?

Is the Fair Tax Fair?
Commentary Rep. Earl Carter (R-Ga.) introduced a new tax proposal called the “fair tax.” Predictably, Democrats politicized the proposal. Sen. Catherine Masto (D-Nev.), for example, posted a typically uninformed statement on Twitter: “On average, Nevadans are paying nearly $6 for a carton of eggs.

The Chinese military also sent nine vessels near Taiwan, the island republic that Beijing claims as its own. Global Times, a…
End the COVID-19 ‘Emergency’—Now
Commentary Almost every decision that has been made in Washington and in the states that deals with COVID-19 has been about politics and money, hundreds of billions of dollars, and not about public health.

Look at the Devil Behind the Grammys Curtain
Commentary Satanism suddenly seems to be everywhere. But don’t worry, the real problem, we’re told, is noticing it. In the wake of Sunday’s revolting Grammy Awards performance of the song “Unholy” from singers Sam Smith and Kim Petras, Page Six had this to say: “Conservative commentators took issue with Sam Smith’s hell-themed performance at the…
Why Blacks Vote Democrat
Commentary In order to change the actions of individuals, you first need to understand what motivates them, and this is especially true within politics. For Republicans, there’s no bigger mystery than why black Americans overwhelmingly vote for their opposition when they feel the Democrats aren’t providing anything beneficial for them. Republican voters too often only…
