By Emma Riley, CNSNews - Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a medical doctor, said that if you have had COVID or been vaccinated against the virus and are several weeks out from your second dose, you should "throw your mask away and tell Dr. Fauci to take a leap."... Senator Paul also cited a Stanford University study showing that the mandatory lockdowns made no difference in changing the trajectory of the virus compared to simple health-safety suggestions.

By Thomas Ascik, The Federalist - Keith E. Whittington holds that “for the Founders,” a Senate trial merely to “disqualify” a former federal official was a “traditionally understood” principle “imported to America from England.” Likewise, the scholars argue that “history,” including “English impeachment” history as well as the intentions of “the Framers” of the Constitution, is the source of the alleged constitutional power to convict “prior officeholders as well as current ones.” What is more, a Constitution without an independent disqualification power would be a Constitution that could be “easily undermined.”

By Dennis Prager, The Stream - Ten years ago, I wrote a column reflecting on my reactions to visiting Vietnam. Given the lack of revulsion to, and even flirtation with, communism (or its more mildly named version, socialism) among many young Americans, it is worth revisiting... It was difficult to control my emotions — specifically, my anger — during my visit to Vietnam. The more I came to admire the Vietnamese people... the more rage I felt toward the communists who brought them (and, of course, us Americans) so much suffering in the second half of the 20th century.
