We are trapped in a political matrix intended to sustain the illusion that we are citizens of a constitutional republic.

It is often said that non-scientists must rely on “expert opinion” to determine whether claims on alleged “catastrophic man-made global warming” are true. Putting aside the fact that there is no global-warming “consensus” among experts, one does not have to be a scientist, or even proficient in science, to be able to review past predictions, and then form an informed...

AP Images Lest you think our mainstream media are inveterate enemies of tradition, know that their opposition to it is selective. In fact, they now appear to want chivalry applied to female politicians, in the form of protecting them from negative social-media comments. “Don’t hit girls!” is what’s essentially being said. Perhaps coincidentally, too, this concern apparently arose after Kamala...
