Science is not supposed to be filtered through a belief system. It’s supposed to go wherever the facts lead. But the human brain doesn’t work that way. Our brains zoom in on details that fit our preconceptions and skim over details that conflict with them. We don’t do this consciously, so we believe we’re objective.

The belief system I’m talking about is Rousseau’s idea that nature is good and civilization is...

A Pennsylvania mother has turned herself in to police after her 6-year-old son allegedly took a semi-automatic handgun from her room and brought it to school, prosecutors said.

Fox News anchors and producers privately acknowledged that former President Donald Trump and his allies' allegations of election fraud in the aftermath of the 2020 election were false despite their network's promotion of those claims, according to a new court filing by Dominion Voting Systems. In a nearly 200-page document filed as part of its billion-dollar defamation suit against the network, Dominion Voting Systems shared emails, texts, testimony, and other private communications from Fox News personnel that cast doubt on claims that Dominion's voting machines had somehow rigged the presidential election in Joe Biden's favor. The voting company is suing...

The climate change apocalypse weirdos are getting stranger every day.These lunatics have convinced a generation of American youth that their lives are in imminent danger from lightbulbs, cars, and people who enjoy steak.Our benevolent overlords in the federal government are doing all they can to keep the greenie panic going. Lincoln wrote about this yesterday:The website ecoanxiety.com states, “Ecological grief refers to the feeling of sorrow and mourning at the current and projected future loss of our natural environment and the impacts of climate change.

Activist Ling Luo says her Chinese community in Texas has gone from fearful to infuriated — and they’re demanding that their voices be heard. By the hundreds, they’ve been taking to the streets all over the state, pleading with elected officials to kill a piece of legislation they fear could threaten their futures.

(Posted before the memory of Balloongate, and other government idiocy, starts to fade) IN MAKING THIS STATEMENT—which I do of my own free will—I wish first to make it perfectly clear that I am not in any way trying to gain sympathy, nor do I expect any mitigation of whatever sentence the Court may pronounce. I am writing this in an attempt to refute some of the lying reports broadcast over the prison radio and published in the papers I have been allowed to see. These have given an entirely false picture of the true cause of our defeat, and...

The deeply troubling history of the Catholic Integrated Community The Katholische Integrierte Gemeinde – Catholic Integrated Community (KIG) was founded in 1965. The beginnings of the community go back to 1945, when the initiator Traudl Wallbrecher developed her idea of a new beginning in the church linked to Jewish-Christian roots as a response to the Holocaust. In 1948, Traudl Weiß, the leader of the federation at the time, left the Heliand Girls' Federation with around 60 other members. After her marriage to the lawyer Herbert Wallbrecher, a childhood friend of Johannes Degenhardt, this developed into the nucleus of the later...
