Sometimes I want to comment on a thing, but I’m not sure I want to do a full article on it. So, this week I’m taking three of those things and giving each a paragraph or two apiece. They aren’t connected. Just think of it as “highlighted news items of the week” or something like […]
“The state of medicine is an index of the civilization of an age and country — one of the best, perhaps, by which it can be judged.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes (1869) In the following excerpt from an Imprimis article by Dr. John Abramson, the author provides insights from both personal experience (as a medical […]
In a recent podcast from Stand to Reason with Greg Koukl, a caller (beginning around 25:30) asked about Koukl’s understanding of the biblical doctrine of predestination. Koukl began with a basic definition of the word — i.e., to determine that something will take place before it takes place — and pointed out that a lot […]
“Stakeholder capitalism poisons democracy, partisan politics poisons capitalism, and in the end we are left with neither capitalism nor democracy.” — Vivek Ramaswamy, Woke, Inc. As predicted, I have another lengthy quote for you from GOP primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, specifically citing his book Woke, Inc.. In this section from early in the book, Ramaswamy […]
“I wish my governor was 1/100th as ‘average’ as Ron!” — Twitter commenter I’ve never been blind to Trump’s shortcomings, but his recent attacks on Gov. Ron DeSantis are just sad and disappointing. Apparently, DeSantis was interviewed the other day by Piers Morgan, and Trump couldn’t help putting out a public statement in response, in […]
“The modern woke-industrial complex preys on our innermost insecurities about who we really are as individuals and as a people, by mixing morality with commercialism.” — Vivek Ramaswamy, Woke, Inc. Who the heck is Vivek Ramaswamy? Ramaswamy is a second-generation Indian-American (though I’m not sure he uses that term) who earned a biology degree from […]
A FB acquaintance shared this on his page the other day, and I “stole” it to share with you all. It is in response to comments made by actor Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”) in an interview on CNN. I don’t know where Whitlock, a sports journalist, originally shared his “letter” — e.g., on his podcast […]
As you will soon see, the incident I discuss in this post involves an anti-atheism meme, but the post itself has little to do with atheism. (I did an atheism article a few weeks ago, if you’re interested.) Rather, it is a certain contingent of my fellow-Christians that I have concerns about here. One day […]
Sure, we all know about the recent Chinese surveillance balloon that the Biden administration finally shot down after it had collected and relayed information from across our nation. And that there have been other violations of our sovereign airspace. And… well, tempted as I am, I’m not going to delve into that whole mishegoss. But, […]
“[M]any of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena which have long been known to theologians and parapsychologists.” — Lynn Catoe, a senior bibliographer for the Library of Congress, after reviewing 1600 books & articles on UFO phenomena As […]
