Dr. Fauci's latest exchange with Sen. Rand Paul left him wriggling like a fish on a hook when questioned about funding gain of function research. Andrea Widburg gives a detailed accounting of Fauci's desperate tap-dance to avoid having to say the truth.
The man who considers himself the embodiment of science has made it clear that he's not about to accept any responsibility for the carnage that he and other health officials unleashed in their Covid response.

The folks responsible for destroying so many lives claim they did what they did in order to protect us. Mike Maharrey reminds us that the power to protect is the power to control. If you want to protect people from opportunists, limiting government power is a must.
Have you noticed how little the media is saying about the alleged plot to kidnap Michigan governor Whitmer? Julie Kelly says that virtual blackout isn't an accident. She lays out the likely cause of why the case itself is imploding.
