  • The dangerous assumption people are making about the COVID shots: Quality Control leaves much to be desired

    An awful lot of people are making a very dangerous assumption about the COVID-19 jabs: that the manufacture of them is pristine. Everyone seems to tacitly accept that every vial of a given jab is perfect and identical to every other vial of the same thing and that it is delivered to the injection site in perfect condition. I don't think so.Bad batches?There are press reports of localized clusters of bad jab reactions, such as a huge spike in stillbirths in Scotland. See here and here. Scotland is not the only place. The U.S. has the same issues in some...

    There’s an old military maxim, which says, “Assumptions are the mother of all —-ups.” That ancient adage, along with commons sense and moral courage has been tossed straight into a Pentagon dumpster. Here are some assumptions that are wafting through the corridors of the Pentagon like a dense fog. “Two bombs a day keeps ISIS away” – Operation Inherent Resolve, the US led air campaign against ISIS has been going for over a year now and has been nothing but a dismal failure and a joke. No matter what the Pentagon says, two bombs a day, doesn’t keep ISIS away....

    Grape cough medicine sounded like a good idea to try for my children when they had a cold, however, once was enough. The officially let me know they would rather die than ever try the grape flavor again. Satan is like Children’s Grape flavored cough medicine. The things he offers sound good on the surface, but when you accept them they are just nasty (2 Corinthians 11:13-14). The Pharisees are also another like comparison in that they appeared one way, but were another (Matthew 23:27-28). Things are not always as they seem to be. Man often makes assumptions about something...

    Modern Conservative ^ | September 23, 2008
    The theory of Darwinian evolution is one of the least rigorous scientific theories in modern memory. It cannot address the mathematical probability problems associated with the development of favorable new structures by means of successive mutations. The fossil record looks nothing like it should look if Darwinian evolution were actually the mechanism for the creation of new species. Scientists have never been able to reproduce the development of a new species in a laboratory, even with the simplest life forms. There are no indications, in the laboratory or the fossil record, of anything other than micro-evolution (change within a...
  • Defense Officials Discuss Budget Assumptions

    WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 2008 – Defense Department budget officials spoke of some of the assumptions they used in formulating the Pentagon’s fiscal 2009 budget request, during a session with reporters yesterday. DoD Comptroller Tina W. Jonas and Navy Vice Adm. P. Stephen Stanley, the Joint Staff’s resources director, also explained why some funding is in the main budget while other funds are part of emergency supplemental requests. The fiscal 2009 baseline budget request is for $515 billion. The emergency supplemental request is for a $70 billion “bridge fund” to cover war expenses for the first part of the fiscal year....

    ISLAMIST fanatics attacked us and yearn to destroy us. The Muslim civilization of the Middle East has failed comprehensively and will continue to generate violence. The only way to deal with faith-poisoned terrorists is to kill them. And the world's only hope for long-term peace is for moderate Muslims - by far the majority around the globe - to recapture their own faith. But a rotten core of American extremists is out to make it harder for them. The most repugnant trend in the American shouting match that passes for a debate on the struggle with Islamist terrorism isn't the...
  • CA: Report finds stem cell windfall assumptions unrealistic (Benefits may be 20 years away)

    San Diego Union -Tribune ^ | 8/25/05 | Terri Sommers
    Expectations of huge financial and medical returns on California's $3 billion investment in stem cell research are unrealistic and based on overblown analysis, according to a study by a panel of research, business and academic professionals. The biggest benefit Californians can expect to reap from their investment – improved quality of life for people living with devastating diseases – is at least 20 years away, the report said. In the meantime, the state should quickly make basic scientific discoveries and tools made with the taxpayers' investment available to the broad scientific community to further stem cell research, the report said....

    Once again, the world can see the barbarism, the recklessness, and the cruelty of what we have come to refer to generally as terrorism. The question however is, "what has changed?" Even still, there are those crying retreat. This, to me, is both incomprehensible and indefensible. A group endorsing a murderous ideology blows up several public transportation networks, killing scores of people and injuring hundreds more who are guilty of nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and some people still have the audacity to say that these savages are right and we should retreat...

    Ortho Evra ad ^ | 5-29-2005 | myself
    Ortho is promoting promiscuity and unsafe sex in young UNMARRIED women. A commercial for birth control devices by OrthoEvra shows a young woman saying: "My life goes a million miles a minute, so remembering to take the pill every DAY can be such a hassle. So I thought the weekly patch might be a good thing." The problem is, this young woman is NOT wearing a wedding or engagement ring on her left hand's 'ring' finger but she is instead wearing a large EXTREMELY OBVIOUS ring on her NEXT finger (closer to her thumb) which typically indicates an unattached...

    California Politcal Review ^ | Oct 02 | John Kurzweil
    How the press always "presumes" CA as totally liberal even though 3 of the last "conservative" initiatives passed overwhelmly. The press ignores this, assuming CA is hugely liberal and writing off a "conservative victory" as extremist or deviant and liberal victories as normal and "the way reality is."
