“Indirects are just ways for wealthy academic hospitals to pocket money that their investigators won and then create slush for those who are incapable of getting funded on their own. It’s a huge grift and great place for cuts.” — David Whelan, a healthcare consultant and former healthcare writer for Forbes Last week, I wrote […]
“The world’s richest man took $190 million away from kids with cancer.” — MSNBC host Chris Hayes on X (referring to Elon Musk) Instead of ranting about Trump’s tariffs like everyone else this week, I decided to address something else… Lately, I have become aware of certain claims made by some Leftists and other anti-Trumpers, […]
“Until we know all the basic facts about that day, Americans will have no reason to be confident that justice has been served.” — John Daniel Davidson, Senior Editor at The Federalist The events that occurred on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021, and the question of who is to blame is a divisive and […]
One of the books I’ve been reading lately is Decision Making God’s Way by Gary T. Meadors. It has some good stuff in it and, as usual, I keep an eye out for sections that might make good articles in themselves. So, this week I have an excerpt that talks about, you guessed it, the […]
The other week I posted “My Take on the Sons of God and Nephilim in Genesis 6”, wherein I reviewed four Study Bible commentaries regarding Gen. 6:1-4 (from two previous posts) along with a couple extra sources.

Kurt Schlichter, U.S. Army, Ret. Conservative columnist/commentator Kurt Schlichter — who is also a retired Army colonel and a trial lawyer — put out […]

To be fair, most people (myself included) are unclear on the types of slippery-slopes and what may or may not make their use a fallacy. On an episode of the STR podcast last year, […]
If the topic revealed in this post’s title sounds somewhat familiar, it may be because roughly a year ago I began my “What to Make of This Weird Bible Passage?” series with the opening lines from Genesis 6. In those posts, I laid out what four of the best Study Bibles had to say about […]
It seems that I underestimated the time I needed to write the article I planned to this week. It will have to wait until next week. Meanwhile, I refer you to three articles for your consideration which have been put out by faculty from The Heritage Foundation. Since I’m a bit pressed for time to […]
