Cancel Culture Is Just the Beginning
Robert E. Wright . Imagine the jackboots kick in your door at midnight and haul you off to a reeducation camp because of that tweet. (Which one? Does it matter?)

We Must Not Be Forced Into Vaccinating Our Children From COVID
Paul E. Alexander There is no basis for vaccinating children from Covid-19 as indicated by Dr. Anthony Fauci, none (6 months to 11 years old).

More “Covid Suicides” than Covid Deaths in Kids
By Micha Gartz . Before Covid, an American youth died by suicide every six hours. Suicide is a major public health threat and a leading cause of death for those aged under 25 — one far bigger than Covid.
