As the Biden-Harris administration slips away, Donald Trump must fulfill his promises to dispose of the woke detritus. His administration will have to bypass antidemocratic booby traps, including recently adopted rules that take time to reverse, last-minute appointments of progressive federal judges, and a hostile, left-leaning Deep State protected by Joe Biden's revocation of Schedule F termination rights.

Thursday on the RealClearPolitics radio show -- weeknights at 6:00 p.m. on SiriusXM's POTUS Channel 124 and then on Apple, Spotify, and here on our website -- Andrew Walworth, Carl Cannon, and RCP White House reporter Phil Wegmann discuss the apparent terror attack this week in New Orleans and the explosion outside Donald Trump's Las Vegas hotel putting national security and terrorism front and center as we enter 2025. Do we have enough details to make any judgments? [...]
As Americans reckoned with the New Orleans terrorist attack, we were reminded what it's like to have a narcissist like Donald Trump as president. [...]
Why are we so craven while people on the streets and campuses of this city actually call for terrorism while the citizens in New Orleans have just suffered it? [...]

Saydnaya prison north of the Syrian capital Damascus has become a symbol of the inhumane abuses of the Assad clan, especially since the country's civil war erupted in 2011. The prison complex was the site of extrajudicial executions, torture and forced disappearances, epitomising the atrocities committed by ousted president Bashar al-Assad.When Syrian rebels entered Damascus early last month after a lightning advance that toppled the Assad government, they announced they had seized Saydnaya and freed its inmates.Some had been incarcerated there since the 1980s.

It’s a good time to be a pampered dog.

With 2024 in the rearview mirror, a clearer picture of the auto industry’s year is becoming clearer.

Even with an uptick […] The post EVs Were Almost 90% of Norway’s New Car Sales in 2024 appeared first on InsideHook. [...]

JetBlue made history this week — though perhaps not in the way the airline’s management would have liked.

Another year, another round of resolutions. Maybe this is the year that your age-old goal to get in shape, knock out a sub-six-minute mile, or, more improbably, land a backflip, might finally stick.

Cigarette smoking is in steady decline because the evidence became overwhelming that cigarette smoke causes cancer. It is not dumb epidemiology, like that 'organic food is linked to better grades in children' or 'virtual pollution may be why your income isn't higher' and whatever else the International Agency for Research on Cancer or National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences is trying to scare the public about this month.Smoking, be it cigarettes or marijuana, is very bad.(1) Yet while while the federal government rightly joined us in criticizing cigarettes, they gave alcohol a free pass. read more [...]
A recent paper claims that even at low doses pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are changing the behavior of insects.Though they are not able to show how it is happening, the authors use 'needs more testing' rhetoric to call on governments to ban chemicals until it is certain there is no unintended long-term ecological harm. If that sounds very Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., that's because he and other anti-science progressives have been saying it for decades.read more [...]
As part of my self-celebrations for XX years of blogging activities, I am reposting here (very) old articles I wrote over the years on topics ranging from Physics to Chess to anything in between. The post I am recycling today is one that describes for laymen a reason why it is interesting to continue going after the top quark, many years (10, at the time the article was written) after the discovery of that particle.

Most of the country laughed when an expensive Los Angeles Times 'Foodie' event gave elites who paid up to $800 per ticket norovirus. Norovirus is gastroentitis, a 'stomach flu', sometimes called food poisoning, except related to bad hygiene rather than spoiled products. You see it a lot on cruise ships because so many people are in such a small area and it can be hard to kill using hand sanitizer because the lack of a lipid envelope means environmental stability. It can easily be prevented, though.Wash your hands, obviously after using the bathroom or before preparing food.read more [...]
A recent epidemiology paper links common weedkillers to prostate cancer and further claims four of them cause death.

In the fall of 2020, the contentious election saw progressives claiming the COVID-19 vaccine was rushed and that the Republican president was risking lives to help his Big Pharma buddies.They won the election and now blame Trump for everyone who died, they turned on epidemiology after a peer-reviewed paper claimed a well-known 'miracle drug' could work off-label for COVID-19 as well, and because the vaccines were rolled out when a Democrat was president, they took credit for it.read more [...]

Rather, I will hand-pick a few pieces just to make a point or two about their content. read more [...]
GMOs had quietly been in use for decades when they became controversial - for saving a fruit in Hawaii that legacy techniques like breeding and chemicals had not.The Rainbow Papaya became a home run for genetic engineering, the first genetically rescued organism, and that made it a target for environmental groups who had ignored it when it was saving diabetics by creating insulin.Lawyers have not stopped campaigning against GMOs since, and are calling on all media allies to criticize Mexico for refusing to ban GMO corn, but while they fight the past, biotech may be winning another fight for the [...]
Anti-science activists are outraged that Mexican experts ruled against their government's publicity stunt claiming they would ban "GMOs" and the most popular weedkiller used by Mexican farmers.Some of it was just populism - Mexico buys $3 billion worth of GMO corn per year from the US and the way to encourage more domestic corn sales is to ban it in the use of things people want, like tortillas.read more [...]
Once upon a time, environmentalists embraced biotechnology as key way to reduce pesticide use. Rachel Carson, author of "Silent Spring", was a fan of genetic engineering. That was before we all learned that environmental groups are only 'for' something if it means they can raise money being against something. Biotech was great - until it was real. Then they hated it. Along with hydroelectric power and natural gas, and how they will want to tear down solar energy, once it stops being a government gimmick.read more [...]

In ancient civilizations, rulers and nobles exchanged gifts as acts of prestige.

The Christmas period isn’t just for presents, sparkling lights and too much festive food – it’s also prime time for couples to get engaged. And for heterosexual couples, this is likely to happen in a specific way. The man will do the asking. Traditional views around marriage are changing. In 2021 in England and Wales, more babies were born to unmarried than married parents for the first time. And many women keep their own surname rather than changing it to their husband’s when they tie the knot. But wedding proposals are still considered a man’s job. read more [...]

Doctor Wilhelm Reich, who claimed to be the discoverer of orgone energy (e.g. what other hippies in eastern nations call "chi" and in western nations call "life energy") created the Orgone Accumulator, an alternating wood/metal layered hexagon that absorbed energy from the aether - basically The Force that Boomers like George Lucas still believed in when he was making the original "Star Wars" trilogy - and directed it at people inside.read more [...]
