Mike Pompeo: A surprising politician
The next presidential race is on. One probable candidate is former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He just released a new book: "Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love." Pompeo must be a smart guy. He graduated first in his class at West Point. Then he went to Harvard… → Read More
Nonsensical population panic
Have you heard? The world is about to end! "60 Minutes" recently featured Paul Ehrlich, author of the bestseller, "The Population Bomb." "Humanity is not sustainable," he said. Why would "60 Minutes" interview Ehrlich? For years, Ehrlich said, "We are very close to a famine" and, "In the next 15 years, the end will come."… → Read More
The recycling religion: A waste of time and money
For decades, we've been told: recycle! "If we're not using recycled paper, we're cutting down more trees!" says Lynn Hoffman, co-president of Eureka Recycling. Recycling paper (or cardboard) does save trees. Recycling aluminum does save energy. But that's about it. The ugly truth is that many "recyclables" sent to recycling plants are never recycled. The… → Read More
COVID restrictions: Who was right?
It's now been three years since COVID hit. At the start of the pandemic, "experts" shouted: "Stay home!" "Close schools!" "Wash your hands!" "Disinfect countertops!" Clearly, disinfecting countertops and washing hands made no difference. What about closing schools and lockdowns? The media trashed Gov. Ron DeSantis when he lifted Florida's lockdown. "Acting irresponsibly!" roared MSNBC's… → Read More
The NBA vs. Freedom (Enes, that is)
Teenage basketball star Enes Kanter was shocked when his teammate criticized President Barack Obama on Facebook. "Dude, what are you doing?" he exclaimed. He feared his teammate would be jailed. Kanter is from Turkey, where, as Kanter explains in my new video, people who criticize the president do go to jail. His teammates laughed at… → Read More
Charity is better than government every day of the week
It's the season for giving. I'll give! I'll donate to the Doe Fund, a charity that helps ex-cons find purpose in life through work. "Work works!" they say. It does. Doe Fund graduates are less likely to go back to jail. I'll donate to Student Sponsor Partners, which helps at-risk kids escape bad "public" (government-run)… → Read More
Woke comic books lose money
Did you know that Superman's son is bisexual? So is Batman's sidekick, Robin, and lots of other superheroes created by Marvel and DC Comics. The author of the bisexual Superman story says gay people write to say they "burst into tears" when they saw that the characters had become gay. While it's nice to make… → Read More
Black Guns Matter
We know about Black Lives Matter. My new video is about a group called Black Guns Matter. Maj Toure, a Philadelphia high school dropout turned activist, tells me he started it after he got tired of hearing people endless chanting, "Black lives matter" but saying nothing "when it's time for black people to defend their… → Read More
The rise, fall and rise of Megyn Kelly
Today, big media has an agenda. Fox and most talk radio push right; most other media spin left. For a long time, leftists pretended this wasn't happening. In 36 years at CBS and ABC, none of my colleagues admitted leaning left. There were only "facts" versus "narrow-minded conservatives." Then Bernie Goldberg's book "Bias" came out.… → Read More

Predicting the winners? Bettors do better than polls
Some pundits say that Democrats will win the midterms. MSNBC tells us, "Democrats are seeing momentum headed into midterms." Nancy Pelosi claimed, "We will hold the House by winning more seats!" Really? Want to bet? This fall, CNN's Douglas Brinkley said, "There is a blue wave going on right now." Michael Moore agreed, "There is… → Read More
