This week on Science Sunday… The following citation is another from Improbable Planet by Hugh Ross, specifically the 14th chapter, “Finishing Touches”. In this particular section, Ross looks at extinction during the Devonian period and speciation during the Carboniferous. It is all fascinating, especially when one considers the multitude of factors involved that had to […]
“The only organization that has a prayer of providing the necessary insight into [the multiple international threats we face today] is the CIA. We have no time to waste in returning it to fighting form.” — Charles ‘Sam’ Faddis, author and 20-year veteran as a CIA operations officer You might remember that I wrote a […]
If you haven’t heard of Brad Polumbo before, he is one of those rare birds — a “gay conservative”. Not as conservative as, say, Guy Benson. (In at least one podcast, Brad implied that he is more “center-right / moderate”.) But, he is certainly anti the most woke stuff, which he talks about and reacts […]
“It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.” — P.J. O’Rourke, political satirist and journalist Since taking over the task from the late Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) in 2015, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has […]
Let’s end the year with some cool science, OK? Would you be surprised if I told you that the following citation comes from the book Improbable Planet (2016) by Hugh Ross? (I didn’t think so.) In Chapter 12 Ross talks about the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system for the amazing edifice we call “Earth”. […]
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.” — usually attributed to Abraham Lincoln or Mark Twain In case you haven’t guessed, I (sometimes) enjoy reading and learning about Christian theology and church history, etc. But, as tends to happen in life, sometimes I think I […]
I was just reading Jonah Goldberg’s article “My Merit — Your Racism” and wanted to share this particular paragraph: “I dwell on this because it helps illustrate the heads-we-win-tails-you-lose nature of this whole topic. The country spends billions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies for hiring. Corporations, universities, unions, and major media organizations all […]
Transgender activism is everywhere these days. If we aren’t careful, we can get inured to this aspect of the Leftist agenda. We can forget what it is they promote — what they do and why they do it. Yes, I know some think that talking of such things is conspiracy-minded nuttiness. So, allow me to […]
In a recent email from The Dispatch, Scott Lincicome wrote an article titled “Offshore Headwinds” about the ambitious “green” plans by Leftists in the U.S. and the reality checks they are experiencing in their attempts to implement them. As one who has been skeptical of climate change alarmism (and the proposed “solutions”) from the beginning […]
“One fish, two fish; red fish, blue fish.” — Dr. Seuss In case you missed it, Sean Hannity recently hosted “The Great Red State vs. Blue State Debate” between Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom. The idea was ostensibly to compare & contrast what happens when conservative policies are in effect versus when progressive policies are […]
