In past writings and conversations, I have been candid about my dislike for tariffs in general, quoting sources like Thomas Sowell and the Cato Institute.

“The formula goes like this: 1. Evolution is true. 2. Here’s how it must have happened. 3. Look, yet more proof of evolution.” — author and biophysicist Cornelius G. Hunter David Coppedge’s latest article at “Evolution News and Science Today” is sure to cause a stir. Coppedge prefaces it with the following: “This article will […]
Some of you may remember that several years ago I put together “A Brief History of Memorial Day”. In that post, I discussed the calling for a national day “for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and […]
“Take every Christian definition you can think of. Then redefine it with a super spiritual metamystigorical definition. There.

When he wrote the book, Denton, an agnostic, was an Australian medical doctor and scientist doing biological research in Sydney. It was one of my favorite books when I was reading a lot on the evolution/creation/ID “debate” back in the 2000s, and I wanted […]

I was flipping through […]
“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 […]
