A DEADLY GAME?

Football has come under scrutiny over the past few years by a few well-intentioned people who are concerned about the potential risk to life and limb over this contact sport.  Most of it seems to focus on the high school level, and while high school football seems to be assured of its future, the concern percolates under the surface.  The question remains: Is a game worth a traumatic brain injury or a severe shock to a young person’s spinal cord?  Fortunately, the odds...

WHISTLEBLOWERS & ALIEN TECHNOLOGY

House Hearings on UAP’s set for July 26th. Watch Congressional News Conference UPDATE (July 24, 2023) Moving to a new post Wednesday I will be closing this post to futher comments today. Again, events are moving more quickly than I can report. It seems to me that the reason UFOs/UAPs are getting so much attention from members of Congress this time is that there are different factions with different interests demanding hearings. One side, of course (the “traditionalists”), wants to...

ARE WE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE?

On June 25, 2022 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released the Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.  It was a nine-page unclassified document, though there are suggestions in the press that some classified portions were not released.  That may not be a sinister cover-up if so, but rather a normal procedure to protect U.S. military capabilities and tactics. While the report did not reject the possibility of extraterrestrial life as the origin of these encounters, neither did it exclude extraterrestrial...

The Archbishop of Canterbury warned against political partisanship last week. Speaking at the August Lambeth Conference of Anglican bushops held at the University of Kent at Canterbury, England, Archbishop Justin Welby warned that Christians must not allow themselves to be “sucked in to supporting governments”  Emphasizing the sacred role of the Church, the Archbishop went further to note “Our approach springs from scripture. This is not the church getting involved in politics, it’s the church getting involved in God.” “In...

RENEWABLE ENERGY: TIME TO PAUSE?

Almost everyone on the planet except perhaps for flat-earthers or people wrapped up in conspiracies should be aware that the climate on the earth is changing, and not for the better.  If we want to blame someone, we could blame people for the change, though this change has occurred at least several times in the distant past before humans were the dominant species.  Perhaps, it happened even on Mars where there are no people, because Mars was likely not always the desert...

IS THE SUPPLY CHAIN COLLAPSING?

Milkshakes “are missing from U.K.’s McDonald’s branches, tomatoes are rotting on Italian farms, and soldiers mingle with farmers on Vietnam’s rice paddies. All because of shortage of staff. A dearth of farm and slaughterhouse workers, truckers, chefs or waiters is hitting global food supply chains hard, causing processing slowdowns, delivery delays and empty supermarket shelves” according to Bloomberg. The Coronavirus is largely to blame for the supply chain problems, of course, but there are other factors as well. According to this week’s Economist magazine, another piece of the puzzle deals with...

PRAY FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF OUR FORCES FROM KABUL

American forces leave Kabul The early stages of a deployment and the drawing down of forces are always the most dangerous times in a war. Hostile forces try to take advantage of the chaos as IS-K did yesterday. Thousands of Afghan civilian men, women and children with or without require papers mix in with U.S. military and civilians who wait in ninety degree weather while armed Taliban soldiers hover nearby. Meanwhile, the checkpoints at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in...

Cooling off from the heat

BACK TO THE FUTURE

There was a time centuries ago when large areas of California were hot, parched for lack of water, with few ways for indigenous peoples and Spanish settlers to cool off. But back then, temperatures of 110 degrees F. may very well have been rare. Not anymore. The children in the featured photo are trying to stay comfortable during a heat wave. But take away the water from the fountain given the current California drought. Then, shut down the air conditioning...

GOD AND THE CANCEL CULTURE

The Veiled Prophet’s Ball: A few days ago, I read a story about Ellie Kemper. She was apparently raised in the Midwest and had the opportunity to compete in a debutante pageant at an event called the Veiled Prophet’s Ball when she was a teenager. I first saw a magazine article on the Veiled Prophet’s Ball, held annually in St Louis, many, many years ago (possibly before Ellie was even born.) I read the story and glanced at the photos....

Hungry like the wolf

IS THIS WHAT WE ARE BECOMING?

Global warming with rising, tempest-tossed oceans and perilous heatwaves continuously make the news.  Deadly viral variants drift across the country like smoke as cautious people uneasily try to resume their lives while others argue about the efficacy of masks, vaccines, and medical advice.  Stewards and stewardesses are assaulted with increased frequency while trying to keep their passengers safe.  Paranoia and xenophobia grow daily.  Fear-crazed random acts of violence in department stores and on street corners occur daily in a nation where “civil blood makes...
