Promising Statement from the Louisiana Surgeon General

In September of 2021, I wrote about Joseph Ladapo speaking “boldly in favor of freedom and against using health fearmongering, including the overstating of dangers from coronavirus, as an excuse to violate individual rights” in the comments he made upon Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appointing him to be surgeon general and the leader of the state’s health department.

President Trump Provides Reason for Hope the Ukraine War May End Soon

The change in tone is night and day from the Joe Biden administration to the Donald Trump administration. Biden refused to talk with Russia President Vladimir.

Trump Signals US Government’s Return to Respecting “Freedom to Choose” in American Homes

The choices Americans make about the products they use in their homes can seem trivial in comparison to matters like violent crime, diseases, and war. Yet, these choices are in fact very important.

Putin to Trump: Congratulations on Your Inauguration; Now Let’s Talk.

President Joe Biden has stood out among United States presidents in his refusal for years to talk with the leader of the Russia government. This refusal to talk with Russia President Vladimir Putin has been particularly precarious because over the same time period the US has been delivering large quantities of money, weapons, and intelligence to Ukraine to prop up a military effort against Russia that threatens to spiral into a third world war.
