“In a world where decision makers, their advisers and the media were able to admit their mistake and the initial panic that gripped them, we would have long since returned to routine. The ongoing destruction due to the inability to admit this mistake, despite the epidemic’s small mortality numbers, is outrageous. History will judge the […]

“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.” — Professor Klaus Schwab, WEF The first time I heard of the “Great Reset”, it was mentioned in a podcast. It sounded very disturbing, but I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, and I didn’t take […]

“He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. And the wind is rising.” — Jordan Peterson, paraphrasing the Bible You’ve heard of Jordan B. Peterson, right? He’s the Canadian psychology professor who has become somewhat of a celebrity/pariah in recent years, mostly because he is outspoken against things like political correctness and identity politics.

“Job 37:18, which describes skies without rain as a ‘bronze’ expanse (cf. Deut 28:23), is figurative and does not support the common contention that the ‘expanse’ was considered a bronze dome by the Hebrews.” — Kenneth Mathews, Genesis 1–11:26 (New American Commentary, vol. 1a) For roughly the past couple hundred years, certain scholars (mostly higher […]

I was reminded the other day that this is Black History Month. I don’t normally go out of my way to note, let alone celebrate, this. As Ryan Bomberger (who is bi-racial) of the Radiance Foundation recently wrote, “There are so many incredible stories that should be intertwined in an educational fabric that celebrates every […]

“[Socialism is] a pseudo-religion posing as a pseudo-science and run by political elites.” — Lee Edwards of The Heritage Foundation’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics Radical progressives want to turn America into a socialist “paradise”. They do this by teaching the “evils” of capitalism and the promises of socialism (i.e., gateway to […]

Lootings and shootings and murders, oh my! Also, car thefts, armed carjackings, train robberies, arson, vandalism, aggravated assaults, etc. When Leftists who run cities (i.e., mayors, district attorneys, city councils) defund their police force, refuse to prosecute serious crimes, even encourage lootings and arson by rioters, manipulate the system in favor of criminals, and generally […]

When it comes to the first few chapters of Genesis, some people like to claim that it is merely poetry (and thus at least partly fictional), as opposed to narrative prose about actual things that happened in real time. (Of course, even poetry can point to reality despite flowery or phenomenological language.) This affords them […]

The Bible has long been the target of pagans, skeptics, and “progressives”, including various attacks on the reliability of the text. When it comes to the Old Testament, they (naturally) start in the beginning with the book of Genesis, particularly (but not limited to) the first few chapters. In his book The Old Testament Documents, […]

“It is impossible to forge ahead while walking backward.” — Candace Owens, political commentator and podcast host Few people in America get as much flack from their own “community” as Candace Owens. But, this brave, young black woman is awake, not “woke”. She has a passion for speaking out against the political Left, who promise […]
