So Much for Diversity—UC Berkeley Student Newspaper Publishes 6 Op-Eds In One Week on Climate Alarmism
Climate change hysteria has taken over the University of California, Berkeley. Last Friday, The Daily Californian (U.C. Berkeley’s student newspaper) ran six op-eds.

KNOWLES RAINS HELLFIRE: Leftism’s love for the deadly sins is a recipe for disaster
Leftism promotes envy, greed, and covetousness, among other things… Sounds an awful lot like the seven deadly sins.

Medicare for All will not work ft. Liz Wheeler
The Left has been lying to the American people about their big-government, socialist-style healthcare system. Medicare for All will not work, and it will lead to rationing. Just take a look at other westernized nations that have gone down this road. This spring, the United Kingdom’s government-run healthcare system denied 50,000 surgeries for […]

LIKE A WELL-REGULATED MILITIA: Knowles takes up arms against anti-gun argument
The Second Amendment exists to prevent the government from gaining too much power. For some reason, this makes the Left uncomfortable. Wonder why? Watch now: It’s very unlikely our government would turn on its own citizens. Why? Unlike other democracies that have seen this happen, Americans are armed with almost 400 million firearms. Watch more […]
