Science
In an August 2022, National Library of Medicine article “Trust Me, I’m a Scientist, How Philosophy of Science Can Help Explain Why Science Deserves Primacy in Dealing with Societal Problems” by Stefaan Blancke and Maarten Boudry [1] starts out:
“Modern democratic societies tend to appeal to the authority of science when dealing with important challenges and solving their problems. Nevertheless, distrust in science remains widespread among the public, and, as a result, scientific voices are often ignored or discarded in favour of other perspectives. Though superficially “democratic”, such a demotion of science in fact hinders democratic societies in effectively tackling their problems. Worryingly, some philosophers have provided ammunition to this distrust and scepticism of science. They either portray science as an institution that has unrightfully seized political power, or they claim that science constitutes only one voice among many and that scientists should know their proper place in our societies. As philosophers of science, we believe that it is potentially dangerous to undermine trust in science in this way. Instead, we believe that philosophers should help people to understand why science, even though it is far from perfect, deserves our trust and its special standing in modern societies.” (emphasis mine). [2]
The article goes on: “Potentially dangerous to undermine trust in science in this way”? We older people were taught to think, to question everything, especially in science; that was how we “would eventually” arrive at the correct conclusions. And that is what scientists used to believe. Today, as this article goes on to tell us, we just need to listen to the politically correct sources.
The Real Agenda Behind Red-Flag Laws: Confiscations and Gun Controls
- Details
- By Joanna Martin, J.D.
When a person makes threats about killing others, the only constitutionally acceptable course of action is to treat that particular person in accordance with the existing criminal laws of the State. To instead subject everyone to red flag confiscations shows that the real agenda is to disarm “The People”. But the US Constitution doesn’t permit that.
State Legislatures have no constitutional authority to enact into Law whatever a majority of them may happen to believe is a good idea. To the contrary, State Legislatures are mere “creatures” of the State Constitution which created them – and it is that Document, together with various provisions of the US Constitution, which define and limit their authority to make laws. State Legislatures have only limited constitutional authority to make laws restricting arms.[1]

A Case for Trump to Not Debate
- Details
- By Star Parker
With Mike Pence now qualifying for the Republican debate in Milwaukee on Aug. 23, there are now eight candidates qualified to participate.
However, one of those eight is former President Donald Trump, who suggests that he is not inclined to show up.
"When you have a big lead, you don't do it," noted Trump.
"Am I going to stand up there by guys with zero, one, two, three percent -- maybe four -- and have them ask me hostile questions?"

New CNN Poll Shows Dramatic Drop in Support for War
Four Stupid Ideas that Didn’t Work
The U.S. Congress has since February 2022 authorized at least $115 billion for military and other government aid to Ukraine. In fact, there seem to be no precise statistics and little accountability. Moreover, the narrative on the purpose of the war is counterfactual to its well-documented historical background and critical events over more than 30 years and especially those associated with the revolutionary coup of 2014 that started a conflict killing over 14,000 people before February 2022.
Is Gender Mutilation the New Face of Brands?
- Details
- By Sarah Holliday - The Washington Stand
Despite Bud Light’s financial collapse, some CEOs don’t seem to be learning from the beer brand’s fatal partnership with Dylan Mulvaney. That, experts say, or they’re choosing to be ignorant.
While consumer outrage continues to crush businesses that align with the trans ideology, Dr. Marten’s and Costa Coffee are jumping into the fray, openly promoting gender mutilation by picturing bare-chested women with top surgery scars on their products. Lauren Fox tweeted directly to Costa Coffee and said, “You are promoting the mutilation of healthy young girls. I hope you are boycotted out of existence.”
The celebration of females who’ve undergone double mastectomies in the name of gender affirmation is spreading — appearing now on Dr. Marten’s new DIY shoes, Costa Coffee’s advertising, and even the video game, Sims 4, where the player can create an avatar with breast removal scars. These brands, just like Bud Light, faced intense criticism quickly.
Compelling Testimony from Mutilated Children
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
On the heels of Congress’s month-long recess, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government held a hearing titled “The Dangers and Due Process Violations of ‘Gender-Affirming Care.’”
Republicans invited witnesses with personal experiences, mental health expertise, and legal knowledge of this atrocious agenda. They included detransitioner Chloe Cole (who will join us for Eagle Council 51), former collegian swimmer Paula Scanlon, Director of the Center of Family Studies at Family Research Council Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, and senior legal fellow at Independent Women’s Law Center May Mailman. Democrat witnesses included the Legal Director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights Dr. Shannon Minter and a mother of a transgender child, Myriam Reynolds. Dr. Minter, a biological woman who transitioned to a man hardly spoke on personal experience but instead opined on what theoretically happens during the process in which a child begins transitioning.

Original Stories by W.H. Lamb
PREQUEL TO THIS SERIES, August, 2023
It’s been several years since I attempted to portray via articles the lives of people who won’t be born for another 400 or so years. A much shorter version of this series appeared in the old newsprint version of The Times Examiner four or five years ago. It consists of 21 parts, including this first part, all of which I’ll insert from time to time within the context of my usual Times Examiner articles, but frequently enough for you to remember the gist of the story. To tell the truth, I’m bothered by the impulses I’ve entertained for several years to tell this story again, because it concerns me that many readers will conclude that I’m resigned to the inevitability of the future I’m going to unveil to you, having spent much of my adult life, and many of my friends and fellow conservatives/Americanists I’ve had the privilege of knowing over all that time have done likewise, battling the forces of Marxism/collectivism/progressivism/socialism, all systems of repressive government that are inimical to our American concepts of freedom under law and are corrosive to the spirit of human liberty.
S.C. Counties Spending Above Population Growth, Inflation
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
Oconee County Council Chairman Matthew Durham will tell you he ran on a campaign promise of low taxes and limited government growth.
Durham, who was elected to County Council in 2020 and became its chairman this year, says he was alarmed that the county’s annual budget grew by 45% since 2016, contending that if limited to population growth plus inflation, overall spending during the period should have increased by no more than 22%.
So Durham joined last month with two other conservative council members in passing a fiscal year 2024 general-fund budget that totaled $60.7 million – $6 million-plus less than what originally was proposed for the fiscal year that started July 1, and nearly $231,000 less than the final amended budget for last fiscal year.
Convention of States Holding "Simulated Convention" to Convince Legislators into Supporting Con-Con
- Details
- By The John Birch Society
The Convention of States (COS) organization is wrapping up its “simulated convention,” a mock Article V Constitutional Convention comprised of current state legislators from all over the country. COS and those attending claim that “it's being conducted just as how things would happen if we were to get to get to an Article V convention.” However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
For example, the state of Illinois is being represented at this mock convention only by three Republican state representatives— all of whom were invited (i.e., handpicked) by COS to attend. In real life, Illinois is one of the most leftist states, with left-wing Democrats wielding a supermajority in the Illinois General Assembly. Furthermore, leftist Democrats also control every executive-branch position in the Illinois. Would Illinois really select conservative Republicans to represent it at a convention?

Should We Blame the Budget Players or the Game?
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
It's common knowledge among budget experts that the budget process is "broken." Anyone who regularly reads this column knows about debt limits, government shutdowns, out-of-control spending and borrowing ... the list goes on. Well, part of the problem is that almost 50 years since the last budget process reform, it needs a serious update. However, when we do that, let's not miss the elephant in the room: Things would work much better if Congress agreed to follow its own rules.
The Reason America Became the Land of Opportunity, and the Conspiracy to Destroy It
- Details
- By The New American
No other nation in all of human history has been as free and prosperous as the United States. And since its founding, no other nation has been the target destination of more immigrants seeking liberty and a high standard of living. It is for good reason that America has been labeled “the Land of Opportunity.”
For this July Fourth episode, we play one of the most popular films The John Birch Society has ever created. “Overview of America” looks at what made America so successful, and what government should be.
In the second half of the show, we discuss why America doesn’t look like the nation it once was. “Conspiracies: From Theories to Facts” makes a solid case for the secretive agenda to destroy the United States and create a one-world, tyrannical government.
The Inherently Atheistic Nature of Naturalism
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Naturalism is the philosophical concept that only natural processes are real. At its core it represents a complete philosophical denial of anything supernatural. This by its very nature excludes God from the picture, at best relegating Him to working behind the scenes. It fundamentally excludes anything that would not have happened from an atheistic perspective. It really leaves no place for God, and it turns out that that is the whole purpose behind it.

EAGLE PASS, Texas -- E.W. Jackson, candidate for the Republican nomination for President, is visiting the southern border for the next two days. He is getting a guided tour by a retired Border Patrol Agent and meeting border residents impacted by Joe Biden's open border policies.

Stanton Healthcare Responds to Idaho Federal Judge Allowing Out-of-State Abortion Referrals
- Details

BOISE, Idaho -- U.S. District Court Judge B. Lynn Winmill issued a decision siding with Planned Parenthood and blocking the state of Idaho from prosecuting doctors who refer women out of state for abortions.
Stanton Healthcare is deeply troubled by Federal Judge Winmill's recent decision, which once again sides with Planned Parenthood and puts the women of Idaho at risk. Judge Winmill's flawed ruling will only serve to promote 'abortion trafficking', where Idaho women will cross state lines to obtain a drug that not only endangers their health but also takes the life of an innocent child.

Are we in the middle of a major cultural shift?
Statistics from a survey group that has been gauging the political views of American youth for decades reveal an interesting development: Young women in the United States have made a notable move to the left, while young men have moved to the right, albeit by a more subtle proportion.
Since the 1970s, the group Monitoring the Future has kept track of where young people fit on the political spectrum. Over the last three years, their survey results have shown that approximately one-fourth of high school senior boys identify as “conservative” or “very conservative.” By contrast, 13 percent of boys surveyed identified as “liberal” or “very liberal.”

Always Wrong and Never in Doubt is Henry Kissinger
- Details
- By Anne Schlafly - Eagle Forum
To celebrate his 100th birthday, Henry Kissinger flew to Communist China and visited with Xi Jinping, the totalitarian dictator, which echoed Kissinger's 1971 visit to China's then totalitarian dictator, Zhou Enlai. Xi said, "We'll never forget our old friend." Kissinger responded by reiterating his fifty-year support of the "one China policy," which is that he wants Red China to rule Taiwan.
Some in the conservative media (such as the American Spectator) have written glowing articles celebrating Kissinger's centennial, even calling him "an American patriot" (Francis Sempa). Let us remember the Kissinger record.
Will the Biden Administration Ban Cigars?
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
What is it with the Left that they want to ban nearly everything that is fun or convenient? Gas stoves, dishwashers, plastic straws, gas cars, snowmobiles and diving boards. And now the health busybodies want to ban certain cigars.
Recently, a gang of senators led by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) wrote a letter to Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf urging the agency to ban (or heavily regulate) flavored cigar sales. Under pressure from the health lobby, the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products said it's primed to take action in the weeks ahead. They say underage teenagers are smoking these cigars and are at risk of becoming addicted.
This makes as much sense as banning scotch because kids might smuggle a bottle from Dad's liquor cabinet, or outlawing R-rated movies because 14-year-olds occasionally sneak into the theater.
