Now more than ever we need substantive debate about decisions that affect the health of hundreds of millions of people, including views counter to official positions. The attacks on free speech and science are unrelenting. Academic publisher Elsevier’s suppression of an article documenting the myocarditis risk of the COVID-19 vaccines, with no excuse or pretext offered, is incredible enough. Viewed alongside Twitter’s censorship of the American Heart Association, YouTube’s suppression of a panel discussion of vaccine mandates on Capitol Hill, and the Orwellian call by National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins for critics of the government’s COVID-19 policies to...

Today is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The source is Leviticus, the third of the “Five Books of Moses” in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament.) The Books, also known as the Torah or Pentateuch, appear in the following order: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Leviticus, Chapter 16, establishes the Day of Atonement as ordained by God for the ancient Israelites to cleanse themselves of sin. The Almighty said to His people:"This shall be a statute forever for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no...

Source: The ReturnToday is the second “series within a series,” when I invite VIPs to share their favorite Bible passages with Townhall readers. The first was Vol. 9 with Harry Hargrave, President of the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., and continues now with Rabbi Jonathan Cahn.There is a specific reason why I asked Cahn to be my Bible Study “guest.” Next Saturday, September 26, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Rabbi Cahn is co-leading an event of critical importance – “The Return: National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance.”Many readers are familiar with Cahn, who leads...

Today we conclude a two-part Bible Study series. Part 1 explored what the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) revealed about the Face of God, and in Part 2, we will discuss the New Testament. To recap, last week I quoted Shroud of Turin expert Russ Breault from his presentation, “The Seven Secrets of the Sacred Shroud” (accessed free with password: shroudencounter3768) when during “The Face” segment he says:“Something dramatically changed between the Old and New Testaments. In the Old, no one ever saw the face of God. In the New, everyone saw the face of Jesus. John [the Apostle] told us the glory of God was manifested...

The American Medical Association has weighed in on the new Obama Health Reform Proposals: The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve. The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. The Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, Grow up!" The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons decided to wash...
