One Preacher’s Word to the Laity of North Georgia UMC:
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 16 hours ago
I don't live in Georgia and I'm not a Methodist. Our summer home is in a Methodist community and from time to time we do hear the ripples of concern about what's going on in that denomination. Rev. Lathem addresses the problems of many churches, businesses, families, academics and others. This is a timely message for all Christians. Some years ago our ELCA congregation and the synod went through the open sexuality issue for some of our clergy who had agreed at ordination to remain celibate which the synod was pushing. Ours created with many others a new synod (NALC) for Canada, U....

Is The Cure Worse Than The Disease? In The COVID-19 Public Health Versus Jobs Debate, The Same People Suffer
The Conversation, Science 2.0 blogs - 17 hours ago
Throughout the pandemic, millions of Americans wondered: “Is the cure worse than the disease?” The question implies a trade-off between “the cure,” in the form of economic shutdowns, and “the disease,” COVID-19. This debate dominated headlines in the first months of the pandemic. More than a year later, it continues to be a partisan lighting rod. But our research shows that mortality during the pandemic in America has never fit the narrative that pits economic shutdowns against COVID-19. read more
This Malaria Preventing Mosquito Is Not A GMO But Is A Science Boost For Nature - Will Activists Want To Block It?
Hank Campbell, Science 2.0 blogs - 17 hours ago
Mosquitoes like *Aedes aegypti* don't have any value ecologically. If Thanos snapped them out of existence tomorrow there is nothing they do that won't immediately be taken up by 3,000 other mosquito species, not to mention 25,000 bee species when it comes to pollination. The only thing they are great at is killing people; by being a leading source of vector-borne dengue disease. Not far behind is *Anopheles gambiae* mosquitoes, which carry malaria. Malaria kills nearly as many people each year as COVID-19 did in 2020 but there is no Warp Speed program to keep poor people in develop...

‘Vaccine Passports’: An Update
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
From a strategic perspective, ‘vaccine passports’ are the most important aspect of the entire pandemic; in fact, they are more important than the pandemic itself, at least in the long term. This is because vaccine passport advocates, such as the ID2020 consortium founded by Bill Gates and the Rockefeller Foundation, openly state that ‘vaccine passports’ may be used as a platform for a global biometric ID, allowing unprecedented population control and monitoring, modeled after China.

I don't pay football much mind, so you might say I know sweet FA about it.

Why the U.S. Military Would Do Anything to Avoid Invading Japan
