Now comes the hard, fun and vital part
“Making America great again” requires deep-sixing punitive energy and environmental rules Paul Driessen The American people have roundly rejected a third Obama term and legacy of deplorable policies that were too often imposed via executive edicts, with minimal attempts to work with Congress or the states. This election shows that hard-working Americans do not want […]
Roundup the corrupt fear mongers
Deceit and collusion drive campaigns to ban a vital, popular, safe, affordable herbicide Paul Driessen Do we really need more collusion, corruption and deceit in the service of renegade regulators, organic food interests, anti-chemical activists, and policies that carry harmful or even lethal consequences?

Stormy climate deception
Continued hype and deceit drive climate, energy agenda – clobbering poor families Paul Driessen Despite constant claims to the contrary, the issue is not whether greenhouse gas emissions affect Earth’s climate.

Over the next few years, the bank fired more than 5,000 employees […]
Powering countries, empowering people

The Experiment: Capitalism versus Socialism
What if we could have an experiment to compare the two systems? Wait – we already did. David R. Legates Experimentation is a major tool in the scientist’s arsenal.

“Toxic chromium” fear-mongering
Detecting Cr-6 droplets in Olympic-sized swimming pool doesn’t equal health or cancer risks Paul Driessen Erin Brockovich became rich and famous by promoting the notion that people in Hinkley, CA got cancer because of hexavalent chromium (Chromium-6) in drinking water.
