There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "…truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity–it is simply true and that is the end of it" – Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” – Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
Not all Christians accept the doctrines of grace. They believe the Bible presents a different picture of salvation, one in which the will of man exercises itself to the exclusion of God’s sovereignty. Sadly, the picture more often than not encourages a lower view of God and a heightened view of man, which never leads to any positive outcome. As Dr. Lawson explains in this final lesson of the series, the doctrines of grace should lead Christians into a greater understanding and appreciation of their great, gracious God and His creation. Any other response would contradict the doctrines of grace themselves.
For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all sections, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. (Amos 9:9)
The sifting process is going on still. Wherever we go, we are still being winnowed and sifted. In all countries God’s people are being tried “like as corn is sifted in a sieve.” Sometimes the devil holds the sieve and tosses us up and down at a great rate, with the earnest desire to get rid of us forever. Unbelief is not slow to agitate our heart and mind with its restless fears. The world lends a willing hand at the same process and shakes us to the right and to the left with great vigor. Worst of all, the church, so largely apostate as it is, comes in to give a more furious force to the sifting process.
Well, well! Let it go on. Thus is the chaff severed from the wheat. Thus is the wheat delivered from dust and chaff. And how great is the mercy which comes to us in the text, “Yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth”! All shall be preserved that is good, true, gracious. Not one of the least of believers lose anything worth calling a loss. We shall be so kept in the sifting that it shall be a real gain to us through Christ Jesus.
The WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) bracelet fad has receded from top shelf popularity. The book, In His Steps, by Charles Sheldon has similarly slipped from public view. Our memories are short, our intentions even shorter, but the motivation behind both bracelet and book is honorable and worth our consideration.
In recent months I’ve become painfully aware of acquaintances and close friends facing near-unspeakable tragedy. Their reactions have been as varied as their situations. Anger. Denial. Futility. Calm–even joyful–acceptance. While personality and past experience profoundly influence their reactions, the months-long walk of one friend captured my attention.
Throughout her long battle with cancer, I saw her intelligent mind engaged as she conferred with doctors, accepting many of their solutions, refusing others. She read medical journals to learn of diet and lifestyle influences on her disease. She continued teaching piano to children and adults even as she underwent the scheduled chemotherapy treatments. That’s the “what” of my friend’s battle.
But the “how” How could she continue meeting each Sunday morning with a group of friends, sharing both “it’s been a really hard week” and “isn’t God good?” comments. (Many more of the latter than the former!) Not once throughout the long months did we hear a “why” question.
How did she “do” it? As I observed Sue’s life, several answers to that question became obvious.
(1) She was not surprised by tragedy. She firmly believed that cancer (or any other misfortune) is simply part of living in a fallen—post-Eden—world. This definitely didn’t mean she saw calamity around every corner; she simply accepted that bad-things-happen-to-good/all-people.
(2) She purposefully lived and shared in community. She kept her family informed of her situation but didn’t call every day with medical updates! (To the chagrin—but final acceptance—of some.) She drove through rain, snow, sleet and sunshine to church activities. We worried about her but also applauded her determination. She continued encouraging other cancer patients through a care network.
(3) She chose—crucial word—to believe that is God good, that he loved her, that he had a plan for her life. She cultivated this practice for years, before rising from her bed each morning, thanking God for the new day, for the joy she expected him to give her.
(4) She immersed herself in God’s Word—and words—to her. Reading the Bible wasn’t a mere morning ritual, but a time of contemplating words, phrases, sentences, intentionally digging deep beneath the markings on the page. Not one Sunday passed without Sue’s sharing of some “new” insight, produced and applied by God’s Holy Spirit.
(5) She was intimately acquainted with Jesus. He was not merely God’s provision of salvation. He was definitely not “just” an example or teacher, nor an ultimate judge. When Sue faced thoughtless words from well-meaning friends(?), she searched the Bible to find how Jesus reacted in similar situations. When the burdens of pain seemed overwhelming, she re-read the Gethsemane story and once more wept the words, “Not my will...” When sleep proved elusive, she—like Jesus—”withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.” If he did it, then she, as his disciple and friend, would do likewise.
(6) She practiced gratitude. Each morning she thanked God for the new day. She thanked him for sufficient resources to pay for treatment. She thanked him for sunshine, rain, storm, flowers. She thanked him for the FedEx delivery man…whom she invited him in and prayed for! Because she was well acquainted with God’s loving nature and purposes, she couldn’t imagine a life without gratitude.
(7) She willingly placed her family, friends and future into God’s hands. This wasn’t a mere spiritual exercise, but practical action accompanied by holding her hands with open palms and imagining people and plans offered to the God she trusted.
Sue spent little time thinking about the “what” of her situation, but she was immersed in the “how” of living as a Christ follower. She had spent a lifetime “practicing the presence” of Christ so that it became the almost automatic “how” of walking through floods and fires, through the realities that all of us will face at one time or another. She needed neither bracelet or book.
If you have never surrendered your life to Christ, you can start today. Simply say this prayer and your journey with Christ will begin:
Prayer
Lord Jesus, I want to trust you from now on. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Thank you for enabling me to trust you in these uncertain times. Amen.
If this prayer expresses what you desire, take this step to respond to God’s invitation. He will forgive your sins, be with you always, guide you each day and give you eternal life. If you do pray this prayer of faith, God will be faithful to his promise and come into your life.
Just as the introduction is the beginning in any relationship, getting to know God is just the beginning. To grow in your relationship with God, talk to him daily through prayer, start reading the Bible beginning with the gospel of John and seek out others who have a personal faith in God. A relationship with God provides an unchanging foundation of hope in a world of unprecedented change. God will give you the strength to face the challenges of each day and to anticipate the future he has a planned for you.
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” Colossians 3:16 (NIV)
God wants you to teach someone who can then teach someone else.
He wants you to teach others about the spiritual insights he’s deposited in you
He wants you to teach others about the practical steps you’ve taken to become more and more like Jesus
He wants you to teach others about the ways he’s stretched your faith.
He wants you to teach others how they can discover life in Christ.
He wants you to teach them the skills necessary to go on mission.
God’s plan calls for us to tell others about Jesus and then to disciple them so they can disciple others.
You may be wondering if you’re capable of doing this, but the apostle Paul says you can make a choice to “let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom . . .” (Colossians 3:16 NIV) It is God who teaches through you, giving you a supernatural wisdom and confidence to tell others about Jesus.
Frankly, you have more knowledge, training, and resources at your disposal than believers did in the first century Church, and yet they were able to be a witness to the world (2 Timothy 2:4). More importantly, God is with us in the same way that he was with them.
Trust the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to flow from you and give you the words and the wisdom you need to tell others about Jesus.

Iran’s 400-second hypersonic threat and a 300-year-old prophecy Isaiah 17:14 At eventide, lo, terror! By morning, it is no more. Such is the lot of our despoilers, The portion of them that plunder us. Reports claim the Fattah is a precision-guided two-stage solid-fueled missile with a range of 1400 km and terminal speed of Mach 13 to Mach 15. The War of Gog and Magog is described in prophecy as being an unusually short war. A tradition from the Vilna Gaon (a prominent 18th-century Torah authority) teaches that the war of Gog and Magog will last 12 minutes. According to a 20th-century interpretation, “A third of the world will die, a third will suffer from plague and a third will survive.”

Putin Bans 5G across Russia, Destroys All Towers Discussions over the adverse effects of 5G are not new. For over a decade, alternative media have linked technology to myriad health issues, including immunosuppressive diseases and virus replication, the specifics of which are beyond the scope of this website and the author’s knowledge. However, Putin’s pledge to dismantle existing 5G super towers shows the hazards of electromagnetic radiation are rooted more in fact than conspiracy.

A Georgia DA charges the former president and 18 associates with a whole slew of rather silly election crimes.
Nate Jackson
When the Georgia indictment of Donald Trump dropped and then disappeared and then dropped again Monday, our first thought was that the DA’s office found an extra box of charges under a table somewhere.
Kidding aside, we were reminded of that silly grand jury forewoman who joined the clown show for 15 minutes back in February. She teased: “There may be some names on that [indictment] list that you wouldn’t expect. But the big name that everyone keeps asking me about — I don’t think you will be shocked.” As we said back then, the case was junk from the beginning — an Ahab-like quest by a partisan Democrat DA to get the great whale Moby Trump.
Sure enough, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a highly partisan Democrat, didn’t disappoint, on Monday releasing a 41-count indictment of Trump and 18 associates because they “endeavored to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprise” after Trump’s defeat in Georgia in 2020. Some names on the list were indeed not surprising — Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for starters. Many of the others are not exactly household names.
They each have until noon on August 25 to voluntarily surrender to authorities. Willis said she hopes to try them all together within six months — in Fulton County (Joe Biden 72%).
Specifically, Trump faces 13 felonies, including over that infamous post-election phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger pressuring the secretary to “find 11,780 votes” to ensure Trump actually won the state as he believed he had. Trump’s call was far from “perfect,” as he has repeatedly insisted, but neither did he say what Democrats want you to think he said. Trump did not cajole Raffensperger to rig the election by concocting 11,780 votes for him; he was convinced that Democrats had cheated to win with more than 11,780 illegal votes for Biden and that Raffensperger simply needed to ferret out those illegitimate votes to ensure that Trump, the rightful winner, prevailed.
According to the indictment: “Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.”
The Washington Examiner sums up the indictment this way:
The former president also faces six counts for conspiring with several others around his campaign to use fake electors in Georgia and another charge stemming from alleged filings of false documents in a federal court case in Georgia involving Eastman that alleged thousands of people voted illegally.
Charges for the other defendants include but aren’t limited to false statements and solicitation of state legislators, high-ranking state officials, as well as the creation and distribution of false Electoral College documents, the harassment of election workers, solicitation of Justice Department officials, the solicitation of then-Vice President Mike Pence, the unlawful breach of election equipment, and acts of obstruction.
That sounds serious … until you see some of the other details. Several of the charges relate to — we’re not making this up — asking for phone numbers, urging citizens to call their members of Congress, tweeting at people to watch television, urging better ballot signature verification, and other rather mundane activities, all of which the indictment huffs were “overt act[s] in furtherance of the conspiracy.”
Representative Elise Stefanik of New York countered, “President Trump had every legal right to challenge the results of the election.” After all, Democrats have been challenging election results for decades — albeit without a riot at the Capitol.
“Why didn’t they Indict 2.5 years ago?” Trump wondered. “Because they wanted to do it right in the middle of my political campaign.” That’s true, but it’s also convenient for him to be able to use campaign funds to pay his mounting legal expenses.
In any case, this fourth lame indictment of Trump is, as we have asserted numerous times before, a key part of the Democrats’ strategy to ensure he’s the GOP nominee. Having beat him in 2018, 2020, and 2022 (and they still think in 2016), they’d love nothing more than another crack at him.
Will it work? Who knows, but even though this indictment is reprehensible garbage just like the others, Georgia increasingly looks like a heavy lift for the former president. Trump fatigue among suburban Atlanta Republicans along with the increasing influence of Hollywood in the state mean it’s not as red as it once was. Nevertheless, every statewide Republican prevailed in recent elections except Trump and the Senate candidates either handpicked by him or closely tied to him. The victors include Governor Brian Kemp, who Trump tried to beat in the GOP primary. Kemp won handily over Stacey “Stolen Election” Abrams, who Trump has been imitating to just as much success.
Believe it or not, like it or not, Peach State voters just aren’t as peachy keen on Trump as are voters in other red states.
Speaking of polling, here’s a bizarre one for you: According to CBS, 18 million Americans think the “use of force” would be justified to restore Trump to the presidency. Meanwhile, 30 million Americans are okay with using force to prevent Trump from being president. Trump Derangement Syndrome is really quite something.
Finally, we’ll close with this howler from Hillary Clinton: “I don’t know that anybody should be satisfied. This is a terrible moment for our country to have a former president accused of these terribly important crimes. The only satisfaction is that the system is working.”
The country anthem “Rich Men North of Richmond” went viral and may well be the protest song of our generation.
Emmy Griffin
Like a good story, a well-crafted song has the power of touching the souls and minds of an audience. One such song has become an overnight sensation. Oliver Anthony released his song “Rich Men North of Richmond” and it immediately resonated. (Warning: Some language.)
Anthony is from Farmville, Virginia, just outside what is considered “Appalachia.” He is singing in the great tradition of “high lonesome,” which in music terms is most often associated with bluegrass but can also describe folk, hillbilly, and country. Though there are several technical definitions for this term, the most common identifier is audible understanding. The singer and the music are raw and piercing, much like Anthony and his resonator guitar.
The raw, heartachy quality of the storytelling is primal. He sings about the lament of the ordinary hardworking American: those hardest hit by the decisions made in Washington, DC. “These rich men north of Richmond / Lord knows they all just wanna have total control.” It is a cry for a country that has so much turmoil that people are committing suicide in record numbers.
We hear clearly the deep frustration he articulates in his lyrics.
It’s our kids who have to endure the government’s terrible public education system. It’s our sons and daughters who are the subjects of social experiments. It’s us, the lower- and middle-class Americans, who struggle to find affordable insurance and homes and food while grinding it out in jobs that barely cover the bills. Yet the government, the elites, and their cronies keep taking.
Our tax money goes to Ukraine while President Joe Biden has “no comment” on Maui’s devastating wildfires. Our tax money goes to failing green energy boondoggles while taking away jobs from coalminers and destroying the affordability of gas. Bidenomics is working so well that people can barely afford groceries or to fill up their cars, though our tax money somehow pays for “bags of fudge rounds” for “the obese milkin’ welfare.” Most galling of all, the elites in the swamp of DC never seem to have to actually endure the consequences of their own policies.
Podcaster Andrew Klavan often talks about how the artist channels the muse and that oftentimes, the less aware the artist, the more prophetic the art. It seems that Anthony’s song is along these lines.
In interviews, Anthony clarified that this song is apolitical: “It seems like both sides serve the same master. And that master is not someone of any good to the people of this country.”
This is absolutely true. The common people both on the Left and on the Right are disenfranchised, shamed, bilked of their hard-earned money, and then used as shields by one side or the other. The answer, however, isn’t tearing down and destroying the America that was. The answer is a restoration and a renaissance.
These words — “It’s a d*mn shame / What this world’s gotten to / For people like me, and people like you / Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true / But it is, oh, it is” — struck a specific chord because they speak particularly to parents. This is not the world in which many of us wanted to raise our kids. But it is the world we have, and for now, it seems like there’s little we can do about it.
Anthony’s “high lonesome” protest song and the fact that it rightly went so viral show just how much of the zeitgeist he captured in the lyrics and presentation.
Lawlessness is overtaking the once-Golden State, and soft-on-crime Democrat governance is to blame.
Douglas Andrews
A pack of dogs bit a man in suburban Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.
And by that we mean: A group of up to 50 masked punks hoods thieves organized criminals set upon a Nordstrom clothing store at the Westfield Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills, making off with huge haul of luxury handbags and high-end clothing, according to the LAPD.
As NBC News reports, the mobsters were armed with bear spray — which is great for neutralizing security guards and managers and other nuisances — and they smashed and grabbed and made off with around $300,000 worth of ill-gotten gain.
“People were very scared,” said one shaken shopper. “They were running as if there was an active shooter.”
The local news affiliate reports that Topanga-area law enforcement was on the scene quickly and has “several investigative leads.” The LAPD promises to find those involved, but that might be hard to do given that most of them were covered in black from head to toe. And even if the cops do find them, what next? California hasn’t exactly been throwing the book at these predators, who appear to be organized in affiliation with gangs and Mexican cartels.
Former U.S. Congresswoman and current soft-on-crime LA Mayor Karen Bass called the robbery — wait for it! — “absolutely unacceptable.”
Bass continued: “Those who committed these acts and acts like it in neighboring areas must be held accountable. The Los Angeles Police Department will continue to work to not only find those responsible for this incident but to prevent these attacks on retailers from happening in the future.”
Uh-huh. Sadly, this sort of lawlessness is becoming commonplace across the once-Golden State — as common as a dog biting a man. We wonder: Do Democrats view shoplifting as reparations by other means?
We also wonder: How many more security guards have to get hit by bear spray before Newsom and his failed state of California start to take this sort of thing seriously? And how many more Nordstroms have to get ravaged before the company takes its business out of these blue-state hellholes and relocates in the more law-abiding territory of the red states?
The second part of that question was partially answered back in May when Nordstrom announced that it was closing both of its downtown San Francisco stores.
Ah, San Francisco, a.k.a. San Fransicko. The city by the bay. Pelosiville. The city that burns while Mayor London Breed fiddles. The city whose government employees at the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building were told recently by the Health and Human Services assistant secretary to work from home due to the rampant crime in the area around their workplace.
And, we might add, the city that not too long ago was governed by the same Brylcreemy Gavin Newsom who now wants to do for all of America what he’s done for California. No thanks.
Of course, we can simply steer clear of California. Many families and businesses, though, are stuck there.
One such business, Gump’s in downtown San Francisco, for example, has seen the city descend into dystopia in recent years, and it prompted an open letter in the form of a full-page ad to Governor Newsom, Mayor Breed, and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors — a letter that reads, in part:
Gump’s has been a San Francisco icon for more than 165 years. Today, as we prepare for our 166th holiday season at 250 Post Street, we fear this may be our last because of the profound erosion of this city’s current conditions. … San Francisco now suffers from a ‘tyranny of the minority’ — behavior and actions of the few that jeopardize the livelihood of the many. The ramifications of COVID policies advising people to abandon their offices are only beginning to be understood. Equally devastating have been a litany of destructive San Francisco strategies, including allowing the homeless to occupy our sidewalks, to openly distribute and use illegal drugs, to harass the public and to defile the city’s streets.
Just as San Francisco is a canary in the coal mine for California, so too is California a canary for all of the United States. We ignore this warning at our peril.
According to Adams, New York City “is being destroyed by the migrant crisis.”
Rich Lowry
The public intellectual Irving Kristol famously said that the definition of a neoconservative is “a liberal who has been mugged by reality.”
By the same token, the definition of a convert to immigration restrictionism is a big-city mayor dealing with a surge of illegal immigration in his city.
In his desperate pleas for federal help to deal with about 100,000 migrants who have come to New York City since the spring of 2022, Mayor Eric Adams is vindicating the hawkish position on immigration with almost every utterance.
All that it has taken to explode the lazy cliches that have defined the progressive position on the issue is a heavy flow of illegal immigration.
If immigration is an unalloyed good, this influx should be a boon to New York City and its future. Why stop at 100,000 if the city could have 200,000, or 300,000? If immigration has no cost, why is New York spending $5 billion this year absorbing this flow?
According to Adams, New York City “is being destroyed by the migrant crisis.”
There you have it — immigration, in and of itself, has the power to bring a great city to its knees.
Long gone are the days when Adams pledged during his campaign to “lift up immigrants as high as Lady Liberty lifts her torch in our harbor, as a beacon of hope for all who come to our shores.” Now, he sounds a lot like Donald Trump, or a late Roman emperor getting undone by an influx of Vandals and Goths.
New York has been actively discouraging immigrants, or, to use the progressive line, “slamming the door on new migrants.” Flyers distributed by the city at the border say, “Housing in NYC is very expensive,” and no one can say that isn’t truth in advertising. “Please consider,” the message pleads, “another city as you make your decision about where to settle in the U.S.”
In other words, why not try Philadelphia?
What Adams is learning is that the key questions when it comes to immigration are: how many, from where, with what skills, and what will they do once here.
The fact is — as border areas already realized — low-skilled migrants with few connections in the community showing up en masse constitutes an intolerable fiscal and social burden.
It is true that there are unique circumstances at play for Adams. Asylum seekers can’t work until their applications have been considered for six months; New York City has a right-to-shelter law that has added to the expense.
If asylum seekers, many of whom are making bogus claims, were instantly handed work permits, though, it’d be another incentive for illegal immigration. And even places without New York’s shelter laws are strained by the arrival of the Biden-era illegal immigrants and have been declaring states of emergency.
The wave of migrants over the last couple of years aside, immigrants to the U.S. are heavily reliant on public resources since they tend to be poor and have low levels of education. An analysis of Census Bureau data by the Center for Immigration Studies shows that 58% of households in New York State headed by immigrants use at least one welfare program. Even if illegal immigrants aren’t technically eligible for some of these programs, their U.S.-born children are. And as we see in the current crisis, if people show up who need housing, medical care, and education, no one is simply going to say no.
To his credit, Mayor Adams has been focusing more attention on the federal failures at the border, but a key component of the Adams immigration plan was blocking federal enforcement.
Now, immigration enforcement by the feds isn’t such a bad thing. What New York City is seeking, after all the rote invocations of the Statue of Liberty, is fewer migrants competing with people already living in the city for resources and attention.
That really shouldn’t be too much to ask. Welcome to reality, Mayor Adams.
Pushing CRT in medical training is promoting political ideology over and against sound scientific engagement.
Thomas Gallatin
Some form of the famous Hippocratic Oath is taken by medical students across the nation every year. The essence of the oath is captured by the Latin phrase Primum non nocere, translated “First do no harm.” This principle of medical professionals applying their knowledge and skills to help and not to harm is essential in establishing the trust of society in the medical field.
This trust is foundational for doctor and patient. In effect, the doctor is assuring the patient that concern for their welfare is the primary motivating factor as the doctor seeks to both diagnose and prescribe treatment for the patient’s healing.
But the doctor-patient relationship has been eroding, and that erosion is thanks in large part to the leftist political worldview. The gender cult is an obvious example of “first do harm,” and its kissing cousin, critical race theory (CRT), likewise acts as an ideological cancer spreading the poison of Marxism throughout the culture.
This woke cancer has effectively taken over the academy, infecting higher institutions across the country with the debilitating CRT dogma of “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Predictably, the result is the politicization of everything by fueling the worst form of politics — identity politics.
Nowhere has this been more evident within the medical community than via the radical gender-bending ideology of “transgenderism.” Here the medical community is increasingly pressured to bow to the insane dogma that gender is merely and solely a social construct. There is, after all, a lot of money to be made creating long-term patients. States like California are passing laws attempting to criminalize any objection or resistance to the furtherance of administering gender mutilation upon the healthy bodies of children. And that’s just one example.
Race is a similar problem. Back in October 2019, California passed AB241. This legislation was signed into law by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, and it was touted as a means to tackle systemic racism within the medical field. The bill requires medical professionals to undergo training every couple of years over the dubious claim of implicit bias.
AB241 bemoaned “examples of how implicit bias affects perceptions and treatment decisions of physicians and surgeons, leading to disparities in health outcomes,” and encouraged “strategies to address how unintended biases in decision making may contribute to healthcare disparities by shaping behavior and producing differences in medical treatment along lines of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status or other characteristics.” In other words, the Golden State passed a law codifying education in CRT as mandatory for all medical professionals in the state.
Is this about concern over making better doctors? On the contrary, it has nothing to do with the science of medicine; rather, it’s about furthering a political ideology and about conditioning the state’s medical community into accepting the radical leftist dogma of CRT because the goal is demographically based equity outcomes rather than doctors doing no harm to their individual patients no matter their ethnic or identity group.
It should be noted that AB241 is correctly being challenged over its blatant infringement on medical professionals’ First Amendment rights to free speech. Forced or compelled speech is not free, and that is exactly what AB241 is looking to do.
It’s not just medical care, but mental health. Robin Atkins, a mental health professional, recently wrote an article in The Spectator observing, “A large number of mental health professionals currently seem to value political advocacy over peer and client relationships.” The common denominator is the values of CRT being placed before and often to the detriment of the patient.
“In other conversations,” according to Atkins, “therapists have admitted that they try to sneak critical race and gender theory into their sessions with patients, even if their patients are resistant to the idea. Some have even said that they encourage their patients to engage in certain types of political activism as a form of ‘empowerment.’” This is politics masquerading as medicine.
Throughout the COVID pandemic, the nation witnessed this reality in full effect. Genuine scientific inquiry, observations, and objections to the COVID narrative were maligned as “dangerous kook conspiracy theories.” Suggestions that the origin of the novel virus was anything but natural were declared to be fringe misinformation. It was ironically classified as evidence of one failing to “follow the science.” Now, with the preponderance of evidence pointing to the Wuhan lab leak being the most likely source, the same authorities who lambasted anyone daring to question the official narrative are merely shrugging off any criticism or simply contending that they were in fact engaged in responsible science based upon their knowledge at the time.
All wokeness has done is undercut that most important facet of societal stability and sustainability: trust. As recent polling has indicated, Americans’ trust in the nation’s institutions is at an all-time low, and much of that can be laid at the feet of leftist politics. As politicians have increasingly bought off the institutions, Americans’ trust in the institutions has increasingly waned.
If you can’t trust that your doctor is giving you a correct and accurate diagnosis of your health based upon sound science and not politically motivated dogma, then who can you trust?
Whether chewing its leaves directly or brewing them into a tea, kratom can be a stimulant or a sedative, and it can also be deadly.
Michael Swartz
The times, they have a-changed.
It used to be that you had to hang out at seedy joints and dimly lit street corners to get your high from marijuana. Eventually, though, the drug was legalized for medical use and has since been decriminalized in several states, despite legitimate questions as to its safety.
Now there’s a new substance on the block — one that’s as readily accessible as the corner convenience store, health food shops, and even specialty drink bars. As the FDA describes it: “Kratom is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Consumption of its leaves produces both stimulant effects (in low doses) and sedative effects (in high doses), and can lead to psychotic symptoms, and psychological and physiological dependence.”
With its chemical ingredient, called mitragynine, natives of the area have used it for centuries to enhance their energy and increase their endurance, often chewing the leaves directly off the tree or brewing them into a tea — botanically, the plant is a member of the coffee family.
Those who use it, such as the patrons in a Florida bar called Kavasutra that sells only non-alcoholic botanical drinks, claim it has those good qualities. “It relaxes you,” says one of those patrons. “I feel like being more social and open to these cool conversations.” Another imbiber said while playing a video game, “I feel more focused; I’m more on point.” And a bartender says the tea “completely took away my back pain” from a degenerative spinal condition. Indeed, kratom is also allegedly used as a step-down drug for those in recovery from addiction to opioids.
While there has been a push for the FDA to regulate kratom as it would other supplements, thus far the effort hasn’t borne fruit, leaving uneducated consumers vulnerable to improper dosage. One tragic example of overuse resulted in a Florida lawsuit in which the plaintiff, whose mother died from “acute mitragynine intoxication,” was awarded $11 million. The kratom that killed the victim was sold to her in a small baggie hand-labeled as “Space Dust.”
Research has shown that the average kratom user tends to be 20- or 30-something, which also raises the question of long-term effects as well as its interaction with other medications being used by older Americans. And while some may compare kratom to marijuana because of its medicinal purposes, the former is on the opposite trajectory of the latter: While states continue to decriminalize marijuana, a few states have banned the purchase of kratom.
But since kratom isn’t federally banned like marijuana is, it stands a chance of approval. Perhaps a simple and sensible first step in corralling the kratom problem may be that of putting a few regulations and dosage limitations in place — especially given that a jury has already decided that it’s deadly if overused.
Year two of Taliban control, Tuberville-Pentagon standoff, Biden wins on student loans, and more.
Thomas Gallatin & Jordan Candler
Cross-Examination
Year two of Taliban control in Afghanistan: Today marks the second anniversary of the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, and all thanks to Joe Biden’s disastrous retreat and surrender. Predictably, the Taliban took the occasion to celebrate their “conquest of Kabul.” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid stated, “We would like to congratulate the mujahid [holy warrior] nation of Afghanistan and ask them to thank Almighty Allah for this great victory.” He added, “Now that overall security is ensured in the country, the entire territory of the country is managed under a single leadership, an Islamic system is in place and everything is explained from the angle of Sharia.” While the Taliban has regained control of Afghanistan, they have not received official recognition of their rule from the United Nations. We’re sure that’s crushing.
Tuberville-Pentagon standoff: Since Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville took his stand against Joe Biden’s unconstitutional effort to ensure abortion access to U.S. military members on the taxpayers’ dime, three branches of the U.S. military now lack Senate-confirmed leaders. Tuberville’s refusal to consent to a unanimous Senate green-lighting of all general and flag officer nominations has resulted in a backlog of officer appointments. Democrats claim that Tuberville’s stubbornness is posing a threat to military readiness, though Tuberville rejects the charge. “Contrary to false reporting, no jobs are going unfilled while the hold is in place,” his spokesman observed. “Instead, highly experienced acting officials are serving in these roles.” Indeed, the Democrat-controlled Senate could vote on individual officer nominees, but Dems refuse to because they reason it would take too long. Well, the Biden administration could reverse course on its illegal abortion policy and revert back to following the law. That would solve this impasse immediately.
Biden wins on student loans: On Monday, U.S. District Judge Thomas Ludington dismissed a lawsuit raised by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and the Cato Institute against Joe Biden’s most recent student loan cancellation gambit. Ludington’s basis for dismissing the lawsuit had nothing to do with the merits of the case. Instead, he found that the plaintiffs did not have legal standing. Following the decision, the Biden administration will move forward with its wealth redistribution scheme, transferring some $39 billion in student loan debt from roughly 800,000 borrowers onto the backs of American taxpayers — taxpayers who either already paid their student loan debt or never took such loans in the first place.
Harvard tells students to apply for food stamps: Even with an endowment worth roughly $53 billion making Harvard University the wealthiest university in the world, the school’s solution to graduate students complaining that their $40,000 salary isn’t enough to live off of is to go apply for food stamps. The Harvard Graduate Student Union (HGSU) proposed increasing the starting salary of graduate students at the Ivy League school by $20,000, arguing that $60,000 annually should be the bare minimum. The HGSU’s proposal came in response to fliers that Harvard had sent to graduate students stating: “Fuel your body & stock your pantry. Did you know that grad students may qualify for assistance paying for food & groceries?” The HGSU observed that roughly 30% of the school’s graduate students were from foreign countries and therefore did not qualify for SNAP. Maybe this is why Harvard is loathe to end its practice of race-based admissions — the school is worried it will have fewer minority graduate students it can take advantage of.
Gov’t tells SF employees to work from home: How does the Biden administration address concerns for the safety of federal workers living and working in increasingly crime-riddled San Francisco? It tells federal employees to avoid going outside and to work from home. According to a recent memo addressed to federal workers located in downtown San Francisco from Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Cheryl Campell, “In light of the [unsafe] conditions at the [Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building] we recommend employees … maximize the use of telework for the foreseeable future.” According to the San Francisco Chronicle: “Dozens of dealers routinely plant themselves on, next to, or across the street from the property, operating in shifts as users smoke, snort, or shoot up their recent purchases. The property’s concrete benches are an especially popular site for users to get high, socialize, or pass out.” So, after offering a weak claim that the federal government is working with state and local authorities to address the crime issue (that only appears to be getting worse), the Biden administration is effectively telling federal employees, We can’t protect you, so hunker down in your homes.

“Either Merrick Garland is showing a hitherto unknown wicked sense of humor in naming Weiss, or — more likely — it’s another instance of the plodding partisan hackery that has characterized his tenure as attorney general.

Last night, a grand jury in Georgia indicted Donald Trump, much to the pleasure of one particular woman, on multiple trumped-up charges like reserving meeting rooms and asking for a phone number as proof of “conspiracy.”
Folks, now you know it. I know it. Everyone with a brain knows it. Even Democrats (deep down) know it. The 2020 election was stolen. The debate is over.
How do I know? Because both the feds and Georgia just indicted our President for talking about, questioning, and trying to investigate a stolen election. When the communist thugs, bullies and tyrants make it a crime to question a stolen election, in a country built around free speech, it’s 100% proof they stole the election.
There is a perfect precedent. In the NFL. The game was called “The Miracle in the Meadowlands.” Everything about that fixed game reminds me of the 2020 stolen election. It’s a perfect match.
The game was the New York Giants versus the Philadelphia Eagles on November 19, 1978. The NY Giants had it won. All the NY Giants had to do was kneel the ball and the game was over. But they decided to run one more play- for no reason. The NY Giants quarterback tried to hand the ball off. The running back refused the ball. It fell to the ground. No NY Giant wanted to pick it up. A Philadelphia Eagle player (Herm Edwards) picked the ball up with only a few seconds on the clock and ran it back untouched into the end zone. It was the most unlikely win in the history of the NFL. It became known as “the Miracle in the Meadowlands.”
But everyone with a brain…anyone who wasn’t a sheep, or complete moron…and every street-smart gambler…knew they had just witnessed a fixed game. Today everyone acknowledges it. It was a stolen football game. Philadelphia had to win, or people were going to get their legs broken. Or worse.
It wasn’t a “miracle.” It was a mafia fix. No one can prove it. But we all know. Everyone knows. Sound familiar? Sometimes you don’t need proof. You just know.
But the plot thickens. A decade later (in 1989), I became one of the youngest TV hosts and anchormen in America. I was in my twenties and hosted NFL programming for CNBC (in those days known as FNN- Financial News Network). One day I invited a famous bestselling author as a guest. His name was Dan Moldea.
Dan was famous for writing bestsellers about the mafia, political corruption and the murders of Robert F. Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa.
In 1989 he wrote a book titled, “INTERFERENCE: How Organized Crime Influences Professional Football.” In the book he named actual fixed games. And the one he built the whole book around was “The Miracle in the Meadowlands.”
But Dan never got to appear on my show to talk about the fixed “Miracle in the Meadowlands.” My network banned him after a call from the NFL. Moldea was blackballed by the entire American mainstream media. The fix was in. His book died.
Moldea told me, “I’ve written about the murders of RFK and Jimmy Hoffa and no one ever banned me. But no one will allow me to talk about a fixed NFL football game? There’s your proof- the game was fixed by the mafia. Now we know. That’s why they won’t let me talk about it. Because it’s true.”
All these years later, it’s happening again- with the fixed and stolen 2020 presidential election. But this time there’s a new twist. It’s even worse. Because communists are far worse than the mafia.
Democrats, media and social media conspired to ban any discussion or questions about the rigged and stolen 2020 election- just like the NFL and the mafia. If you talked about it, or questioned it, you were suspended, shadow-banned, or banned for life. You were also demonized and slandered as a “conspiracy theorist.”
But no one listened. It wouldn’t go away. Just like the “Miracle in the Meadowlands” we all knew the election was rigged and stolen. Who needs proof when we have our eyes? We could not be persuaded, intimidated, or bullied. Trump would not stop talking about it either. He was like a dog with a bone. A bull in a china shop.
The bans accomplished nothing. The noise would not go away. Polls showed a huge majority of Americans believe the 2020 election was rigged.
The communist thugs started to panic. They couldn’t let Trump run for president and keep talking about a stolen election. Worse, what if he won and opened an investigation? Democrats would go to prison for life. Or worse. This was treason.
They had to act- to end this talk once and for all. To set an example. To make sure no one ever dared question any stolen election ever again- because of course, they plan on rigging and stealing 2024.
So now they’ve taken it a step further.
Now they’ve indicted and arrested Trump (and other Republicans) for free speech…for talking about a stolen election…for asking questions…for trying to investigate…in America.
Trump faces hundreds of years in prison for free speech.
So, now the mystery is gone. Now you know. When it becomes a crime to talk about a rigged and stolen election…when Democrats are so desperate one indictment is not enough, they indict Trump again and again and again and again…
That’s the final proof the election was stolen.
That’s also the final proof this is a communist takeover of America. These are the hallmarks of communist and Nazi thugs and tyrants throughout history- steal elections, weaponize government, censor and ban dissent, arrest your political opponents.
Folks, we are there.

Dr. Chris Shoemaker repeatedly cites the findings of microbiologist Dr. Kevin McKernan, whose April 2023 study discovered the presence of ‘unacceptable levels’ of DNA in the injections.
Judicial Watch founder and president Tom Fitton joined Stuart Varney on Varney and Co. on Tuesday morning following the latest Democrat political indictments against President Trump and 18 colleagues and supporters.
Georgia DA Fani Willis announced last night she was going to put all 19 defendants on trial at the same time like they do in Zimbabwe and the former Soviet Union.
Tom Fitton told Varney, “Are we next going to put them in cages in the trial room so people can throw food at them?”
Tom Fitton: This is power politics. Your vote doesn’t count. Your views don’t count if you’re a critic of this regime politics here. They want to make President Trump a political prisoner. And what’s really disturbing is expanding the abuses to innocent citizens down in Georgia who, by all accounts, by her own indictment, were doing nothing other than engaging in electoral politics…
…A show trial. Are we going to next put them in cages in the trial room for people to throw things at? This is not a serious prosecution. It’s serious if you’re on the wrong end of it, as I said. But the idea that a prosecutor in this day and age would think that in the middle of a presidential campaign, it’s appropriate to try to try 19 people at once, three of which she’s indicting for acts they committed as government, federal government officials, as president, as chief of staff, and as a senior official in the Justice Department. What a sham this is.
