Bringing
Trump and Pelosi Together for a Compromise
By Jeffrey Katz
The principles in my new book The Secret Life could
resolve the impasse between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Trump on
the government shutdown. Not pre-judging
the other and being willing to give the other the benefit of the doubt, all
done in a spirit of moderation and focusing on the larger relationships within
our country that are so important to maintain -
rather than continued focus on far narrower interests - could lead to a
resolution between the two on this issue that is important to our entire
nation. When Pelosi says she will negotiate funding for enhanced border
security and barriers in good faith once government is reopened, that is
something on which she could be given the benefit of the doubt by President
Trump. The two might pre-agree on some amount of new barrier funding that would
be part of any subsequently negotiated deal - to be fully hashed out only after
the government is reopened. President Trump might lengthen the new grace period
for DACA recipients from the three years now on the table, in order to further
build trust between the two sides. If there could be a thaw in the current deep
freeze between the two polarized sides in our society, we would all reap the
benefits. [more...]
Scientists
and the Myths They Cherish
By Michael
Newton Keas
Do scientists believe in myths? They sure do, and they enjoy
considerable success in fobbing them off on the rest of us. In textbooks,
popular media, and other venues the public is regularly led astray about the
supposedly adversarial relationship of science versus faith. Nobody
wants to be on the losing side of that purported battle: the myth merchants
play on our (and their own) egos, the wish to appear smart and enlightened.
Against this emotional manipulation, I detonate six specific myths about our
world and the universe, and a seventh that’s used to fill the “significance
void” - the painful gap in our own understanding of humanity’s place in the
cosmos - left by the other six. Read more
in my new book, Unbelievable:
7 Myths about the History and Future of Science and Religion. [more...]
Facebook
and Twitter Consult with CAIR
By Jamie Glazov
Facebook and Twitter are consult with
CAIR, exposing how leading social media sites are asking a
Hamas-linked group who should get banned from their platforms. We have to stand
up against this evil. Facebook and Twitter are now Sharia compliant. Twitter
warned me that I'm violating Pakistan Islamic blasphemy laws by posting my new
book. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing
case in U.S. history. [more...]
While
Dems Push Government Healthcare, Canadians Wait Nearly Five Months for Treatment
By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the Pacific
Research Institute
Last year,
Canadians waited a median of almost 20 weeks to receive specialist treatment
after being referred by a general practitioner, according to a new report from
The Fraser Institute. In practical terms, that's the equivalent of getting a
referral this week and waiting until May for treatment. Such waits are endemic
to government-run healthcare systems. Canada's single-payer system, which
prohibits private insurance for medically necessary procedures, is a prime
example of the pitfalls of total government control. Twenty weeks of waiting is
bad enough. But some areas in Canada fare even worse. [more...]
The Government Shutdown - A Disruption in Stability and Safety
By Michelle Seiler-Tucker
Since December 22nd, the United States Federal Government has
been laying down the groundwork for the declaration of a national emergency.
While President Donald Trump continues his fight for the approval of a $5
billion wall to line the U.S./Mexico border, the national government has
entered what is currently the longest shutdown in American history. As a
result, many federal workers are forced to continue working, but are doing so
without receiving pay, missing their paychecks starting the week of the
shutdown. In addition, national security, safety, and economic prosperity all face
great decline as our representatives continue to receive their promised
benefits. [more...]
