Adult Medical Kidnapping: Euthanizing America’s Seniors – Orlando Medical Guardian Resigns After Getting Caught, but How Many More Are There?
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that professional guardian Rebecca Fierle has resigned after an investigation revealed that she had filed unauthorized “do not resuscitate" orders on almost all of her senior patients, against the wishes of the patient and their families.

Plato and Aristotle Chained Inside The Platonic Cave
*Question*: If Plato and Aristotle are dragged inside the Platonic Cave (The Allegory of the Cave) and chained with other prisoners so that they cannot turn their head and can only see the reflections which appear on the wall of the cave, then what kind of philosophy will they develop? *Answer*: If Plato and Aristotle are in such a situation, their philosophy will be uninspiring like the philosophy of most modern philosophers who claim to stand for reason and liberty. Plato and Aristotle may still philosophize, but their ideas will consist of their own rationalizations because, bein... more »

How do you end a war that by its nature has been described as endless?

Trump Is Wrong: A Weak Dollar is Bad for America

It wasn't formally abolished until 1975. The roots of HUAC were actually ho... more »

How Sen. McConnell Would Justify Not Convening an Impeachment Trial
Those urging the House of Representatives to impeach President Trump seem roughly to fall into two groups.
