You may have been thinking it, but maybe you haven’t dared to discuss the possibility that there are some freaky parallels between public health’s measures of dealing with COVID-19 and how the Holocaust came to be. In this report, I interview Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav. Vera was only

Do We Really Want a Nuclear War?

You want to hear a harsh truth? The Ukraine is not a hill that I’m prepared to die on. Nor send my, or anyone else’s sons to die on. And it’s absolutely not something I’m prepared to start WWIII over. Because that’s exactly what the
