The Hillary treatment for climate fraudsters?

When will Africa get healthy and prosperous?
When will its leaders focus on vital issues affecting its people, instead of lining their pockets?

Fuel me or fool me
America has centuries of fossil fuels, but hydrocarbon deniers want to strangle our future Paul Driessen Fool me once, the adage says, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Brexit for America
Should we give Washington still more power over our lives – or “Take back control” Paul Driessen Independence Day weekend is a perfect time to reflect on personal freedoms and responsibilities.

Bill Nye the Scientism Guy
Facts don’t support his hypothesis, so he shouts louder, changes subjects and attacks his critics Willie Soon and István Markó True science requires that data, observations and other evidence support a hypothesis – and that it can withstand withering analysis and criticism – or the hypothesis is wrong.
