Another one of those "inconvenient truths:" Embracing the science he hated until a year ago means that like a whole lot of partisan people, he only pretends to accept it because the issue is political. Writing in The Daily Beast, Louis Anslow reminds the public that just a few years ago Young released a whole …
The Left Pushes Back Against Vaccine Mandates
Yes, they do: As writers from the Left, we are disturbed by this turn of events.

Leaked Emails, Leaked Viruses: The Sad Trail of Fauci, Collins and COVID-19

Real Socialists, Fake Socialists and the Virginia Governor’s Race
