Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
There’s a comfortable lie Americans like to tell themselves: that we are too smart, too informed, too free to be manipulated at scale. That propaganda is something that happens in other countries, to other people, under other flags. Then you dig up a grainy black-and-white relic like Reefer Madness and realize—no, we ran one of the most effective information operations in modern history… on ourselves.
My good friend Robert Stacy McCain fisked an article from The New York Times, one which tried to make the case that American women postponing childbirth might still have children later in life. “Fertility delayed is fertility denied” is one of the great maxims of demographics. As a matter of statistical average, postponing parenthood means …
You didn’t need a history degree to recognize what was happening during the pandemic—you just needed to pay attention to how quickly ordinary people changed under pressure. Not all at once, not everywhere, but enough to notice a pattern. Stress, fear, and anxiety didn’t just shape policy; they reshaped behavior. And in many cases, they …
Dr. Festinger claimed that the mental discomfort of cognitive dissonance could cause any number of destructive behaviors in its sufferers. I’m wondering if it’s why members of the radical left spend their lives consumed with irrational anger. Anger could be a subset of “mental discomfort” couldn’t it?
Diane discusses how Canada’s socialized medicine system is pushing white Canadians to commit suicide with the help of the government, and ponders whether access to pain relief & treatment is intentionally being limited in order to push patients to kill themselves.
Once an “assisted suicide” system is up and running under Socialized Medicine, it is just a matter of time when people who are not terminally ill, who are not in pain, would be euthanized by their own government. Since Canada’s MAID was legalized in 2016, the program has grown exponentially.
The tweet from Slate simply said, “The GOP’s most dangerous new policy just forced my family out of our home. I’m afraid they’re not done with us yet,” with a stock image of two blond children putting suitcases into the back of a suburban mother’s SUV. Naturally, I wondered what policy of the evil, reich-wing …
MAID accelerates a cultural shift that recasts killing as healthcare, pressures the vulnerable amid rising costs, and erodes human dignity by normalizing death as a medical option as America moves toward her 250th birthday.
I’m talking about the woman who isn’t used to being The Patient. Who used to be so full of dutiful energy for helping others. Who would do anything for anyone. And did.
Officially, the experts will tell you it means “small O.” Cute. Harmless. Like a Sesame Street vowel. And sure — in the Greek alphabet, that’s what it is. But that explanation is also the kind of tidy little classroom answer you give kids when you don’t want them asking follow-up questions. You know. Like the ones adults should’ve been asking in 2020.
I turn on Fox News for the same reason a man checks the weather before he goes outside: I want to know what’s coming, and I’d prefer not to be blindsided by it. Is the world on fire? Are we at war? Did Congress accidentally pass something useful? Did somebody somewhere do something so insane it requires a full segment and a therapist?
Dear God, I know you’re super busy. I know you have people bending your ear at Christmas. From every corner of the planet. Every second of the day. And I know how fussy people can be this time of year.
Assisted Living Facility In-House Doctor: “Obamacare diverts Medicare funds from life-saving procedures to comfort care.” He hinted that federal funds were flooding into assisted living facilities & other places, and away from hospitals & treating physicians, which has since been bore out.
We three refused to take The Jab, the faux Covid vaccine, that was supposed to prevent us from getting the second political disease in the USA. Not only did it NOT prevent patients from contracting Covid, it turned out to be damaging and deadly.
America doesn’t have a nursing problem—we have a bureaucracy problem. Every time Washington claims it’s going to “fix” something, it adds another layer of paperwork, redefinitions, and unelected decision-makers who have never set foot in a hospital at 3 a.m.
Oregon had massive Medicaid funds, far in excess of those needed to provide medical care to the state’s Medicaid population. Instead of doing the ethical thing and returning the federal money that they did not need, they wasted tax money on cooking classes and dancing lessons.
At a massive military parade in Beijing China’s Tiananmen Square that commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II over the Japanese, Vladimir Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China were recorded discussing the prospect of medical longevity and even immortality.
We humans were built with two brain hemispheres for a reason. The left hemisphere handles logic, reason, and order — the spreadsheet half that alphabetizes the soup cans. The right hemisphere deals in creativity, intuition, and art — the half that paints the soup cans and calls it “social commentary.” Together, they make a functioning human being.
On paper, the VA’s Community Care dental program sounds like a dream: veterans can receive top-quality care from local civilian dentists without trekking halfway across the state to the nearest VA medical center. In reality? It’s a bureaucratic train wreck wrapped in red tape and sealed with an “apology for the inconvenience.”
Obamacare’s short term goal was to slice payments in half for Medicare doctors, discouraging younger doctors from becoming Medicare doctors. The long term goal was as an interim step toward full socialized medicine completely controlled by the federal government.
