Hank Campbell: IPCC Gives Up On Science, Makes Grey Literature Official. Poor hank. He thought the IPCC was a science-based organization, apparently. ‘Grey’ literature, which led to the “Glaciergate” scandal of 2010 when it was revealed that the rate at which Himalayan glaciers are losing ice (gone by 2035!) was stated as fact even though […]
The Supreme Court upheld a key part of Arizona’s tough anti-illegal immigration law in a 5-3 decision on Monday that allows police officers to ask about immigration status during stops.

President of Geneva College, Dr. Ken Smith, intends to pay a fine to the federal government rather than comply with the HHS mandate that forces institutions to provide abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, and sterilization to its employers. The mandate, scheduled to be effective on August 1 of this year, could financially penalize institutions for non-compliance with its demands […]
Thanks to the Obama administration’s recent executive fiat granting backdoor amnesty to 800,000+ illegal immigrants, Arizona is studying last week’s White House directive as possible grounds for giving illegal immigrants the legal right to drive.
