Titled ‘Dying in a Leadership Vacuum,’ the editorial – dated October 8 but made public Wednesday – says the US leadership “failed” the Covid-19 test, turning a crisis into a tragedy. While it does not mention the names “Trump” or “Biden” once, its political implications are crystal clear. When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated […]

Virus cases were surging, Trump’s EPA was reviewing air pollution standards, and two scientists were trying to navigate the ‘Wild West’ that resulted.

Wu, a former national high school math champion in China, was […]

Facebook fact-checker Lead Stories is a biased outfit bristling with ex-CNN staffers that presents itself as neutral, despite most of its employees having donated to the Democratic Party, a conservative outlet has revealed.

Alan Duke didn’t want to speak, and urged me to email him to […]

As Oregon is a closed primary state, this effectively denies these people the right to vote in the party’s primary that […]
