A Celebration of the U.S. Constitution

David Henderson at Econlib - 3 hours ago
Below is an article reprinted from Antiwar.com. It is an edited version of a talk I gave about the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 2007. I’ve edited it slightly since it appeared in 2007. Specifically, I made a charge at the end against George W. Bush that turns out to be almost certainly unjustified and […] The post A Celebration of the U.S. Constitution appeared first on Econlib.

Republicans Stick Like Glue To Trump-- He Really Does Represent What They Are

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 3 hours ago
Like their dear leader Trump, 9% of Americans think there's no such thing as Climate Change. Trump has convinced himself that the Climate Crisis is nothing but a "Chinese hoax. Everyone else, according to a new poll from CBS News, now recognizes that Climate Change is for real and most Americans feel we've got to address it or suffer the consequences. Most Republicans poo-poo the whole idea of it, another reason these people just do not belong in government on any level. That's the problems with the critique of Trump from the right. Conservatives tend to be nearly as dangerous ... more »

Equity for Muslims

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 4 hours ago
I received a notice today that OSU is having a "health equity" lecture on care of Muslim patients. Usually when liberals use the term "equity" they are discussing oppressed or low income groups, but according to Pew Research American Muslims have a higher education level than Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Adventists, Baptists and Catholics, and we're told that education translates to income. So what inequity will be discussed? FGM perhaps? And isn't that a cultural/religious issue? Pork on hospital menus? How women are gowned or how hygiene standards are kept by Muslim sta... more »

Dr. Meryl Nass: Why are Legislatures Imposing Vaccine Mandates Now?

Admin at Health Impact News - 5 hours ago
I am a veteran of the vaccine war in the US, and today I feel compelled to speak about what I saw in that war. Legislators were forced to change their votes to revoke vaccine exemptions and rescind the historic right to consent to medical procedures. The vaccine war is a dirty war, in which platitudes about protecting the most vulnerable are invoked by the same pharmaceutical companies that paid $2.7 billion in criminal penalties in the US between 2012 and 2015. The vaccine industry generates enormous profits (estimated 10-40%), benefits from a government-guaranteed market, and re... more »
