Evan Sayet’s The Woke Supremacy provides answers we cannot afford to ignore. Political comedian Evan Sayet says he has long dedicated himself to conserving and promoting the American values that have given him freedom and allowed him to pursue his life of liberty and happiness. His new book, The Woke Supremacy, lays out the history and characteristics of “Wokeness.” However, in failing to examine the origins of this totalitarian intolerance, he misses the critical difference between … [Read more...]
What Really Caused California’s Devastating Wildfires?
I was raised in the Midwest region of the United States, but I’ve lived most of my adult life in the Southeast. Imagine my surprise, then, when I was given the opportunity to move to Los Angeles, California, a place I had only seen on television. It’s been two and a half years since that move, and that time has been filled with many more surprises. The biggest shock to me was my immediate and intense love for California. There’s not enough time or space for our purposes here to describe … [Read more...]
“Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden” Commit Two Major Mistakes in Ethics
In my years as a seminary professor of ethics, I saw few things more sinister and devious than the seemingly innocuous statement, “a biblically shaped commitment to the sanctity of human life compels us to a consistent ethic of life that affirms the sanctity of human life from beginning to end.” That’s not because life isn’t sacred from beginning to end, but because those who use it do so consistently to hide a serious ethical confusion. Recently a group calling itself “Pro-Life Evangelicals … [Read more...]
Climate Strike: Instilling Fear and Creating a Scientific Void
People around the world participated in a climate strike on September 25, joining climate activist Greta Thunberg’s Fridays for Future “school strike” movement. Protestors in Toronto blocked an intersection, while those in Moscow danced in their custom-made green shirts. In India, children protested in front of the ministry of environment, holding placards with dubious claims. There were strikes even in Beirut, where the supposed danger from climate has been far less than other … [Read more...]
No Pope Francis, the World Is Not in a Climate Emergency!
Pope Francis has been a vocal advocate for climate alarmism. He believes the world is headed towards a climate doomsday. Recently, in his letter on Care for Creation, the Pope dedicated an entire section, titled “A Time to Restore,” to climate change. The Pope wrote: “Climate restoration is of utmost importance, since we are in the midst of a climate emergency. We are running out of time, as our children and young people have reminded us. We need to do everything in our capacity to limit … [Read more...]
A Plea for Checks
By checks I don’t mean your (outdoor) dining bills or paper orders for the payment of money, I mean mechanisms for reducing the power of government, as in the phrase “checks and balances.” Some checks, like the presidential veto, are as notorious as a certain deceased rapper and SCOTUS justice. While always assailed by critics, such checks are unlikely to be lost to time. Other checks are almost as obscure as Big Pun* and Thomas Johnson** but arguably just as important as the veto in some … [Read more...]
Wind Turbines Generate Mountains of Waste
Environmentalists and wind energy opportunists (entrepreneurs who take advantage of overly generous tax credits and multiple other subsidies) want you to believe wind energy is as pure “green” as newly driven snow is white, and as cheap as Taco Bell. They never tell you about the costs – or the environmental destruction – that they have hidden from you for decades. But neither do most governments, news media or social media. Ars Technica science editor John Timmer says wind … [Read more...]
Green Nazi Political Vegetarianism
Kamala Harris recently warned about the great impact meat production has on planetary ecology and that more vegetables in the American diet would lighten such detrimental environmental impact. Such comments are rooted in the Green New Deal that is rigged to drastically reduce livestock production. Cows in particular are singled out for all of the methane they produce which leads to a significant amount of all the greenhouse gases in the country. In 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged kids in a … [Read more...]
The Best Way Out For The Poor
Thoughtful, sensitive, considerate people are rightly concerned about the multiple hardships that the poor in the world are subjected to. Is there something reasonable that can be done to alleviate their pain and dire straits? The good news is YES. The simplest, most effective change that we can offer these disadvantaged people, is to quickly make available to their communities: low-cost (the lower the better), reliable energy, 24/7. Giving citizens in third-world countries low-cost, … [Read more...]
Ecology and Economics for Religious Leaders
I’m honored to call Dr. John Baden, President of the Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment, a friend as well as an ally in the effort to bring sound economics to bear on environmental policy. John has been one of America’s best thinkers on environmental policy for over three decades. I’m glad we have the opportunity to reprint his latest article here.—E. Calvin Beisner It’s harvest season in much of America, and the nation’s houses of worship are filled with prayers of … [Read more...]
