Science says abortion is the killing of a human being
It's interesting that when pro-abortion folk talk about abortion they're always using euphemisms; termination of the pregnancy, blob of cells, right to choose. That's because science is clear; every abortion kills a human being: *“[The zygote], formed by the union of an oocyte and a sperm, is the beginning of a new human being.” Keith L. Moore, Before We Are Born: Essentials of Embryology, 7th edition. Philadelphia, PA: Saunders, 2008. p. 2. “Although life is a continuous process, fertilization… is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new genetica... more »
I don't believe that this coronavirus is new
China – but, to a lesser extent, the rest of the world – is terrified by the newly named coronavirus, a new potential pandemics that could produce as much anxiety and danger as SARS, the symptom of the abruptly terminating breathing. Note that in 2017, researchers have traced SARS – that exploded in 2002-2003 – to horseshoe bats in Yunnan province. The Chinese eat bats and cook soup from bats and similar monsters – did you give them the permission, Batman? – and it is clear that this kind of inter-species multiculturalism increases the risks that the viruses jump.

Our American Ancestors Didn’t Trust the Federal Government
[image: undefined] The US Constitution brought into existence a federal government whose powers were limited to those enumerated in the Constitution itself. If a power wasn’t enumerated, it simply could not be exercised. That’s because our American ancestors didn’t trust governmental power. They clearly understood, based on both historical knowledge and life experience, that the greatest threat to their freedom and well-being lay with their very own federal government. That’s why there was such a deep antipathy toward a type of government that had an enormous and permanent military... more »

Fighting Dirty vs. Playing It Straight
The main criticism of Bernie Sanders from the left is that he's too nice to survive in this cutthroat, backstabbing world of politics. He gallantly told Hillary Clinton at a 2016 primary debate that Americans are "sick and tired of hearing about your damned emails" and later he let bygones be bygones when it emerged that the Clinton-controlled Democratic machine had, indeed, rigged the process against him. He even appeared at numerous rallies for Clinton after she was crowned the nominee by undemocratic acclaim. She just repaid that misplaced gallantry by trashing him once again, in... more »

"Grief..."
“The dictionary defines grief as: “Keen mental suffering or distress over affliction of loss; sharp sorrow, painful regret.” We’re taught to learn from and rely on books, on definitions, on definitives but in life, strict definitions rarely apply. In life, grief can look like a lot of things that bear little resemblance to sharp sorrow. Grief may be a thing we all have in common but it looks different on everyone. It isn’t just death we have to grieve. It’s life, it’s loss, it’s change. And when we wonder why it has to suck so much sometimes, it has to hurt so bad. The thing we go... more »
"For What Do We Grieve?"
*"For What Do We Grieve?"* by Mary Christine "The obvious answer to that question is the loss of a loved one. Grief is not reserved only for the death of a loved one.

Nuclear War? How Kashmir Could Still Cause an Indo-Pakistan War in 2020
*Stratfor Worldview* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] A conflict best avoided. The Kashmir question will make the already-dim prospects for a de-escalation in tensions between India and Pakistan even more remote in 2020, raising the chances of conflict between the two South Asian powers. Tensions spiked in February, when, for the first time in nearly five decades, the longtime rivals hit each other with airstrikes.

Instead of cover-ups, smears and witch hunts, Senator Chase Smith urged her fellow senators not to think of the next election but of their country; think, that is, not as politicians, U.S. senators, men... more »

In Defense of Irrationalities And Fantasies
Reason is an uncertain attribute.

Intelligence and creativity walk in tandem with imagination and fantasy. When we examine the life of the world’s great creative thinkers, we find that while being capable of rational thinking, they are equally at home in the domain of fantasies ... more »
