Beware: doomsday theories are seductive. In 1798, Thomas Malthus, an economist influential in his day argued (in “An Essay on the Principle of Population”), the world had insufficient farmland to feed a growing population. He predicted population growth, then just under one billion world-wide, would be reversed by disease, famine, war, or calamity. Malthus, madeContinue reading “Doomsday Predictions are Forever”

Erstwhile Pro-Life Advocates
The Democrat Party has not always been staunchly pro-choice. Only ten to twelve years ago, “Legal under any circumstances” became the pre-dominate view among Democrats. In 1975, only one in five Democrats held that position. https://news.gallup.com/poll/246278/abortion-trends-party.aspx Interestingly, Jesse Jackson, protégé of Martin Luther King, Baptist minister, and prominent Democrat who ran for president as pro-choice,Continue reading “Erstwhile Pro-Life Advocates”
A Tale of Two Pardons
On December 1, President Biden pardoned his son Hunter for offenses already committed and for crimes not yet specified. On January 20, he pardoned five other family members–also for unspecified crimes. Biden said they did nothing wrong. Biden issued pardons for his brothers James Biden and Francis Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens, sister-in-law Sara JonesContinue reading “A Tale of Two Pardons”
Who is Lying Now?
In the first moments of the presidential debate between VP Harris and President Trump on September 10, the VP made this accurate prediction: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/read-the-full-transcript-of-abc-news-presidential-debate-between-harris-and-trump/ar-AA1qmoTQ VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: . . . in this debate tonight, you’re going to hear from the same old, tired playbook, a bunch of lies, grievances and name-calling. She said this withContinue reading “Who is Lying Now?”
Demonic Marxism Rises. Who will Oppose it?
In my last post, I focused on Oklahoma’s initiative to introduce the Bible and Ten Commandments into public schools. I argued this imitative is justified due to the following biblical-values-and-public-schools: First, participation is necessary. Oklahoma has simply entered a game already in progress. They chose not to surrender more field to an enemy who isContinue reading “Demonic Marxism Rises. Who will Oppose it?”
Maher Admits the Truth About Abortion
Bill Maher recently said something so obvious, yet so very hard for pro-choice folks to admit. It eases the pro-choice conscience to claim abortion is merely a choice. It is also reassuring to say pro-lifers have nefarious intent by opposing abortion: they want to repress women, oppose freedom, are extremists, absolutists, etc. Maher, while stillContinue reading “Maher Admits the Truth About Abortion”
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?)”
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?”
What is Extreme About Being Pro-Life?
VP Kamala Harris recently spoke about rights caguaranteed us in the Declaration of Independence, perhaps the greatest document ever written. However, Harris didn’t quote its well-known phrase correctly, and not by mistake either. https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-omitting-life-declaration-rights-speech-sparks-debate-1775880 Harris delivered a speech in Tallahassee, Florida, on Sunday to mark the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that for decadesContinue reading “What is Extreme About Being Pro-Life?”
What Just Happened in Kansas?
Roe v Wade was overturned in June and that ruling sent the decision on whether or not to allow abortions back to the states. Missouri was the first state to totally ban abortion (Missouri’s law was actually passed in 2019; there was an automatic trigger that kicked in after the decision). Kansas was the firstContinue reading “What Just Happened in Kansas?”
