“Climate”-Friendly Olympics Show Horror of Pritzker-style Policies

Months before the games began, Paris 2024 announced its ambitious plan to “halve the carbon footprint” from the past two Olympics and host the “greenest ever Games,” as if carbon dioxide (the gas of life) were somehow not “green.” Organizers admitted the approach was a “radical departure from that of previous major sports events.”

May God Have Mercy Upon Us and Our Troubled Country

Combating the Politics of Fear

The United States of America was founded as an extraordinary experiment in freedom balanced by an almost universal worldview — the Christian or biblical worldview — which supplied inward moral constraints and rendered heavy handed government unnecessary and even repugnant.

Once again, President Obama is circumventing Congress and using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a compliant and corrupt media to push his radical agenda. This time it is to save the world from climate change, formerly known as global warming at a time when there was actual evidence that the average global temperature was increasing, however slightly.

Real Intellectual Diversity in Public High Schools

In a May 28, 2011 Wall Street Journal article, Bari Weiss said this about David Mamet, one of America’s foremost contemporary playwrights, who in the last few years has experienced a conversion to political conservatism of sorts.

Before he moved to California, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet had never talked to a self-described conservative.

Mamet said, “I realized I lived in this bubble.”
