Show me a (Hawaiian) Miracle and I Will Believe

If you see something so unlikely given the circumstances, something that speaks of divine intervention, will you believe it is a miracle or will you call it something else? Unless you already have some faith or a mind seeking truth, I think you won’t believe. Still, try this miracle on for size, in any case.Continue reading “Show me a (Hawaiian) Miracle and I Will Believe”

COVID Debate Stifled. Do not Forget Because it will Happen Again.

April 14th COVID average deaths per day fell below 200 per day, the lowest point since the pandemic began three years ago. June 3rd there was another milestone as deaths fell below 100 per day.

O Canada: Please Let Me Die (Or Maybe Not?)

When my mother was admitted to a nursing home, her doctor, nurses and facility administrators encouraged me to let her die, to “die with dignity”. She was past 90 years old; she had had Alzheimer’s for a dozen years; she had just broken a hip and was now immobile. There was virtually no hope ofContinue reading “O Canada: Please Let Me Die (Or Maybe Not?)”

Government Directed (Again) not to Censor

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states Congress can make no law to abridge (i.e. limit, censor) speech. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, andContinue reading “Government Directed (Again) not to Censor”

Sound of Freedom: What Controversy?

The film Sound of Freedom, a specter of sex trafficking of under-age children, has been a box office hit this summer. It wasn’t supposed to be successful. Disney, its owner, declined to release it. The film has also been deemed controversial since its release. Sex trafficking is awful and should be exposed. What is theContinue reading “Sound of Freedom: What Controversy?”

Supreme Court Says (Again) You Don’t Have to Bake the Cake

Graphic designer, Lorie Smith wanted to expand her Colorado business to include custom designed wedding web sites, but she feared being sued should she decline to design a same-sex wedding site. Like a vast number of us, she does not wish to promote same sex marriage. That’s not actually a sin. Five years ago, ColoradoContinue reading “Supreme Court Says (Again) You Don’t Have to Bake the Cake”

Racist Policy Finally Struck Down by Supreme Court

Affirmative action for minorities began in the 1960s as an effort to restore racial justice. Sixty years later, the U.S. Supreme Court is ending one aspect of it (hopefully). Using racism to end racism has never made sense and finally someone with authority has declared the emperor has no clothes. Affirmative action (per Wikipedia):  aContinue reading “Racist Policy Finally Struck Down by Supreme Court”

Justice American Style

President Trump was impeached because his opponents said he asked the Ukrainian president to investigate his political rival. Last summer I asked: trump-raid-demonstrates-we-live-in-a-banana-republic why is the Biden administration taking steps to poke into the affairs of the man who has openly said he is going to run in 2024? Is the charge of investigating opponentsContinue reading “Justice American Style”

Presidential Election 2024: The Good, the Crooked, the Dull and Boring

The first-in-the-nation 2024 Iowa caucus is a little more than seven months away. New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina vote next before Super Tuesday on March 5. Currently, there are just three Democratic candidates, an octogenarian who has held political office since his 30th birthday (President Biden) and two septuagenarians who have never held office:Continue reading “Presidential Election 2024: The Good, the Crooked, the Dull and Boring”
