The Scam Called ESG
What is this thing called ESG? It stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Sounds great, doesn’t it? What could possibly be the harm of seeking to promote these virtues in our corporations? I mean, seriously, who doesn’t want companies that seek to emulate these values? I will be the first to admit that when I […]
NIH “Conspiracy” to Evade FOIA Requests Regarding COVID Origins
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic is investigating a conspiracy “at the highest levels of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)” to evade Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding the origins of COVID-19. Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) says the committee has obtained evidence showing that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) […]
The Promise of Libertarianism
We have been hard on our libertarian friends this election cycle. We have made our case that we cannot blow the chance to change the balance of power in the Senate for the satisfaction of a protest vote. The Prickly Pear is not alone in this. That is likely why Senator Rand Paul, about as […]
America Is Facing a Cycle of Doom But Nobody Seems To Care
Editors’ Note: We think the author is spot on – that our political elites, the media, and the public at large are currently living a delusional life. They simply do not recognize the serious nature of our financial situation. The markets however are starting to see the problem. Not only have we had the worst […]
DOJ Attorney Expressed Concerns About Conservative Media Coverage of Biden Admin Persecuting Christians, Pro-Lifers
A federal Justice Department attorney expressed concerns to a Michigan judge about conservative media coverage suggesting that President Joe Biden’s administration is persecuting Christians and pro-lifers for their beliefs. The discussion took place during a March pre-trial conference in USA v. Zastrow, in which the federal government brought Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act charges against eight pro-life […]
Targeting Felon Votes With ‘Bidenbucks,’ Democrats Court The ‘Criminal Caucus’
It’s not about the ‘right to vote’ for the big moneyed interests behind ‘reenfranchisement’ efforts. It’s about voting for the right people. E.B. Jordan spent two years in the Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility on felony drug conviction charges. When she was released, long before her maximum 20-year sentence, Jordan went to work getting felons […]
The New Threat to Democracy: The Shadow Candidate
The recent debate performance of Senatorial candidate John Fetterman in Pennsylvania was revelatory. The man clearly has serious cognitive issues that would make him unable to serve. Yet President Biden said Fetterman’s wife would make a great Senator. This remark seemed to imply that party officials understand Fetterman is not able to effectively serve but […]
Identity Crisis
In the early Spring I began working on a documentary series for Independent Women’s Forum called “Identity Crisis.” The project tells the stories of four mothers whose daughters fell victim to gender ideology, two detransitioners who now warn of the harms this movement is causing, and one mental health professional who rails against her profession […]
Making Crime Into Political Violence While Ignoring Crime That Is
Not too long ago, The Prickly Pear ran a piece, “Don’t Take the Bait”. It suggested that the press and the Democrats were deliberately baiting conservatives to take action that would result in violence, so it could be to discredit conservatism. It went on to recommend that conservatives swear off any kind of violent response […]
Hispanic Brilliance and Blather
A self-identified Hispanic reveals the speciousness of today’s racial/ethnic labels but then falls into the same trap. A reader of the Wall Street Journal with the surname of Flores had me cheering enthusiastically over part of what he wrote in the Reader Comments of the online edition of the newspaper. He initially showed greater […]
