Godzilla vs. The Green New Deal: The Cost and Necessity of Nuclear Power

Posted by Tyler Hummel on June 03, 2019 19 Comments

One of the final lines in 2016's Godzilla: Resurgence is a quiet and somber reflection that Godzilla is "something we'll have to learn to live with." In the final images of the film, we see the figure of Godzilla standing above the Tokyo skyline, a stone creature having been defeated but now made immobile via the coagulants floating in his bloodstream having shut down his nuclear core.

On May 20, I blogged about how Fox News host Chris Wallace sat casually and said nothing as 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg criticized Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham. Wallace moderated candidate Kirsten Gillibrand's town hall on Sunday. He took a different direction when she tore into the network.

Los Angeles Police Officers Contract Typhoid Fever, Others Show Typhus-Like Symptoms

Posted by Leslie Eastman on June 03, 2019 21 Comments

The last time we visited Los Angeles in our posts, a local TV investigative team reported that the city wastes tens of millions of dollars per year in clean-up efforts because LA’s homeless encampments quickly repopulate once cleaning ends. The rat population has exploded as a result of garbage accumulation, and a Los Angeles police officer has now shown symptoms of the flea-borne disease typhus spread by rats.

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 02, 2019 57 Comments

Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib attempted to rewrite history recently by claiming that the Arabs of the British Mandate for Palestine (they would not be called "Palestinians" until decades later) provided "safe haven" to Jews before, during, and after the Holocaust.

2020 Democrat Presidential Candidate Booed for Denouncing Socialism

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on June 02, 2019 12 Comments

There was much celebration on the left when a recent poll suggested that 40% of Americans support "some form of socialism." Ultimately, though, socialism itself is not becoming more popular with Americans. It turns out that few know what it is—some think of it as "equality," others as free everything, others as capitalism lite, still others as ending poverty (!?), and so on.

Posted by David Gerstman on June 01, 2019 3 Comments

The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs just released an electronic "book," documenting the ties between the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign and Palestinian terror groups.

Virtue Signalling Hollywood Threatens To Boycott Georgia Over Heartbeat Law

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on June 01, 2019 30 Comments

Back in 2008, Georgia enacted a series of tax and production incentives that resulted in Georgia becoming known as the "Hollywood of the South." Not only were the tax incentives appealing but union rules were also less strict than those in California (a factor in Vancouver becoming the Hollywood of Canada).
