In May, the UNC School of Medicine revised its Guidelines for Appointment, Reappointment, and Promotion. Now, faculty seeking promotion must tout their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. One sample DEI statement, posted on the School of Medicine website, shows what that requirement might entail, concluding with a nod to the concept of intersectionality. "As I move forward in my career, I intend to continue to include issues of equity and inclusion in my bedside teaching. I commit to annually attending a seminar offered by the University Office of Diversity and Inclusion to learn more about the intersectionality of race,...

To be clear, though, from the outset, this article is not about me. It is about the question of what it means to be a conservative. I simply use myself as an example. My question for consideration is this. If you have voted exclusively Republican for decades (including voting for Trump in 2016 and 2020), you are a staunch, Bible-based moral conservative on marriage and family issues, and you have consistently spoken out against the leftwing, Democratic agenda, how do you then become a “closet liberal”? According to one commenter (with reference to me): “This writer is a closet liberal....

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is leading former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) by 6 points in the Lone Star State’s gubernatorial race, according to a new poll, days after O’Rourke officially launched his bid for office in his home state. The poll, conducted by the Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler, found that in a head-to-head matchup between the two candidates, 45 percent of registered voters said they support Abbott, while 39 percent said they are backing O’Rourke. Sixteen percent of respondents said they would vote for a different candidate for governor.

"It’s indisputable fact that mRNA-injected individuals transmit spike proteins via shedding to any and everyone around them, particularly the non-vaxxed. Pfizer admitted the shedding phenomenon in its own documents. Dr. Luigi Warren, one of the pioneers of injectable mRNA technology, also admitted that shedding is a real phenomenon. We also know that self-disseminating vaccine technology exists that spreads from one human or animal to another just by being in close proximity to a “vaccinated” human or animal. Fewer people are familiar with the connections between COVID-19, “vaccines” and 5G technology. Mainstream media dismiss all such connections as “conspiracy theory.” But...

Saturday, MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross and her guest Elie Mystal did not pull any punches when expressing their frustrations with Friday’s acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse by a Kenosha, WI jury. Mystal criticized the verdict as a “miscarriage of justice” and a product of the “white justice system.” However, later in the segment, Cross took aim at Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) for suggestions Rittenhouse could be a congressional intern. The MSNBC “Cross Connection” host referred to Rittenhouse as a “little murderous white supremacist” in her critique.

Massive looting in San Francisco’s central Union Square on Friday evening led local police to limit car access to the plaza, which is the centerpiece of the downtown area and one of the most popular tourist destinations on the cable car route. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday that gangs of looters emptied out high-end stores the night before, including Louis Vuitton. ...San Francisco has been at the forefront of left-wing cities in “criminal justice reform” and police reform. Earlier this year, the mayor announced that the city would redistribute over $100 million from law enforcement to projects aimed at...

" . . . .Pfizer, Moderna, et al. and your genes Yes, this article contains a lot of scientific and legal mumbo-jumbo. But in a nutshell, biotechnology companies can own living things if said things are genetically-modified and not naturally-occurring. No mouse is born in nature like the OncoMouse. It is thus patentable. Oil-eating bacteria come from genetic manipulation, thus patentable. Notice how all these so-called doctors and scientists avoid pointing fingers at Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson et al. when someone dies within hours, days or weeks of receiving their shots. It’s almost as if said doctors and scientists...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemDaniel 1Daniel’s Training in Babylon 1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia[a] and put in the treasure house of his god. 3 Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring into the king’s service some of the Israelites from the...

Inflation versus Rising PricesInflation is an increase in the overall general price level of an economy. It should not be confused with an increase in the price of a good or service over a short period due to increased demand, relative to supply in the case of the introduction of a new version of a product like an Xbox, nor reduced supply, relative to demand due to supply chain problems, such as the case of computer chips for automobiles. Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman noted, “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and...

German Health Minister Jens Spahn said that those who have not been vaccinated are likely to catch COVID-19 by the end of this winter season, adding that some of those people will die, according to reports from The Associated Press. “By the end of this winter pretty much everyone in Germany ... will have been vaccinated, recovered or died,” Spahn told reporters in Berlin, according to the AP, adding, "With the highly contagious delta variant this is very, very likely and that’s why we are recommending vaccination so urgently." The AP reports that Germany has seen an increase of about...

On the feast of Christ the King, we are called to acknowledge that Jesus is in fact our King. It is one thing to say that He is our King because the song in Church says so, or the preacher says so, or the Bible says so (yes, faith does come by hearing), but it is quite another for us to personally say that Jesus is our King. There comes a time when we must personally affirm what the Church has always announced: “Jesus is Lord, and He is King. He is my King. He has authority in my...

Another newly launched criminal proceeding that is not getting much attention lately but which is very similar to the Biden administration’s witch hunt after James O’Keefe and Project Veritas is the September arrest of conservative attorney Jeffrey Moffatt. In 2016, Moffatt and his wife ran as Republicans for the state legislature and Congress in California, and as a result the Arizona State Bar, which has a lengthy history of targeting conservatives, went after Moffatt for a small infraction that blew up into arresting and prosecuting him when he fought back. Unfortunately, the facts in Moffatt’s case are so complex and...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Nov. 21. FAVORABLE CHARACTER OF THE EUROPEAN ADVICES.

Last year, when it was hard to field a team during COVID, Flower Mound joined a league from nearby Keller. Rhett Taylor, vice president of the Keller Youth Association, said the group’s five-member board decided the Flower Mound team should be ejected from the playoffs – even though they’re the top team. “This is the Keller league, not the Flower Mound league,” Taylor said. “In my mind, they’ve dominated our league.” Taylor also is a coach and a father. His team lost to the Rebels 33-0 this season. “My team got one first down all game,” Taylor said. “And my...
