“Evil Friday Is Also Good Friday” (Luke 23:44-56) The theme for our Lenten journey this year has been “You Meant It for Evil, But God Meant It for Good.” We have seen how God can just plain grab something evil and use it for good, in his larger plan. No one could see it at the time, but that’s how God works. We see God working this way in our reading tonight from Luke 23. Something evil was happening on the day our Lord Jesus was crucified. But God used it for good--for incredible, tremendous good--which is why call this...

Where Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is concerned, size actually does matter. Yea, verily. And not just when she’s boasting on her “manhood” while making a national laughingstock of herself. The size issue is perhaps her only political lifeline. It’s all about size with Lori. It’s all she’s got left: Because to survive, to hold onto power, to keep the 5th floor of City Hall to herself, Lightfoot needs a large field of mayoral hopefuls running against her in the Chicago mayoral election. The biggest imaginable. Maybe bigger. She needs a large field of contenders going into February, to have any...

The Washington Examiner first reported on the memo. TRUMP SUES HILLARY CLINTON, DNC, OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN RUSSIA PROBE "After conducting an investigation in this matter, the Commission...

As was widely expected and reported in the aftermath of Elon Musk going hostile on Friday morning, on Saturday morning Twitter adopted a measure that will shield it from hostile acquisition bids in a desperate step to prevent billionaire Elon Musk’s offer to take the company private and make it a bastion of free speech. The board set up a shareholder rights plan, also known as a “poison pill” which as we clarified yesterday for the benefit of the company’s overly dramatic, overly literal and overly snowflake employees, is not literal…

Let's have fun!

Watching politics as a blood sport is fun. Liberal tears. And a few conservative ones too. Trump demolishing just about everyone in the 2016 primariess. Tulsi Gabbard dismantling Kamala Harris law and order reputation. Ronald Reagan winning with four magic words "There you go again." In Australia now, the great polticians to watch are the radical conservatives hitting back at progressive crap. Scott Morrison at his best is one of them. But at his worst he is a Mitt Romney Judas. My favourite right now is Becky Spelman. She is young and still learning but as one very senior parliamentarian...

The miles of trails in Santa Teresa and Calero County Parks are some of the best in the Bay Area with challenging terrain leading to breathtaking views. “This park here, every time I ride it I realize it’s just a jewel,” said cyclist Robert Lombardi. Although both park’s boundaries are close to each other, they’ve always been separated by roads and private property causing users who ride or hike between them to brave McKean Road which has no bike lane and sometimes dangerous drivers. “Sometimes people are passing each other and going much faster than they should,” Lombardi said. But...

A transgender psychologist who has helped hundreds of teens transition has warned that it has “gone too far” — and fears many are making life-changing decisions because it’s “trendy” and pushed on social media. Erica Anderson, 71 — who is transgender herself — told the Los Angeles Times that she is horrified that even 13-year-old kids are now getting hormone treatment without even meeting with psychologists. “I think it’s gone too far,” said Anderson, who until recently led the US professional society at the forefront of transgender care. “For a while, we were all happy that society was becoming more...

Theories for the outbreak include the resurgence of an existing but usually quieter germ, complications of covid-19, or even the arrival of a novel or mutated virus. Hepatitis is most often caused by a group of five unrelated viruses (hepatitis A through E), but it’s actually a formal term for any kind of liver inflammation. Various infectious diseases, heavy alcohol use, toxins, and even certain medications can all cause hepatitis. Symptoms range...

Introducing the members of the NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines committee.Steve KirschApr 13 SummaryThe members of COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel of the NIH apparently doesn’t seem to place any value on human life. In this article, I will show several examples of this.At no time is there ever a risk-benefit analysis where a dollar amount is placed on the value of a human life. For example, if there are 100 trials and 90% of the trials were positive and 10% were neutral, should the NIH recommend the drug?Unfortunately, they aren’t accountable to anyone, so they will never have to defend their...
