These past few days, three notable people that I obviously did not know personally, but know about, passed away – Florence Henderson, Ron Glass, and Fidel Castro. I was really into the Brady Bunch when it originally aired. So of course, to me Florence Henderson was Carol Brady; although I understand she was an accomplished performer.1 Ron Glass was a very fine actor that I remember as Detective Ron Harris on the show Barney Miller. But Ron Glass really displayed…..
Fox News recently aired the movie “Killing Reagan.” Of all of the “Killing” movies on Fox News, “Killing Reagan” is the one where the titled character was not actually killed. It is also the one event portrayal that I can actually remember. I was too young to remember the Kennedy assassination. At the end of the movie, Nancy Reagan pled with her husband to take advice from an astrologer with the belief he could avoid getting shot again. The president…..
Recently I saw a “Rights at Risk” episode on Stossel. John Stossel was debating with Democratic consultant Jessica Tarlov on a segment called “The Rights of Entrepreneurs.”1 First, Tarlov was defending “anti-discrimination” laws which are to force Christian bakers to cater same-sex “weddings.” Next, Tarlov was defending laws that are to force Christian employers to provide birth control (that would include abortifacients). Tarlov stated: “It is a right now to have that!” while pointing at birth control pills that John…..
I think most of us are familiar with the “There’s good news and bad news.” That is what I was thinking when I was looking at the stories on Bing on Thursday. I will start out with the bad news. The bad news is Vermont’s woman’s basketball team cancelled a scheduled game against the University of North Carolina.1 They canceled it is because North Carolina has enough sense to know that men should use men’s restrooms and locker rooms and…..
I just happened to run across this one article on the internet – “Does Honey Really Last Forever?”1 It is on a site called Ziobits under “Fun Facts.” The article explains how the honey dries out bacteria because of its very low water content and high sugar content. Bees make honey to last a long time. The article had some interesting information. But this is what I took note of. The article stated: “Since bees need to eat during…..
On Friday, May 13, the Obama administration gave notice to U.S. public schools that transgender students must be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice.1 The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) responded. Ronnie Floyd, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, stated this as “an outrageous attack on our Creator Himself, human sexuality and morality, and an advancement of the attack against religious freedom.”2 As a matter of fact, a number of Southern Baptist leaders have made statements on this issue…..
Wednesday night, I was watching the 1999 TNT version of Animal Farm with my wife and son. For those of you who are not familiar with Animal Farm, Animal Farm was first a book written by George Orwell. The plot of the book is the animals took over the farm from farmer Jones. The idea was all the animals would be equal. But pigs led by a porker named Napoleon took power and made themselves “more equal.” A pig named…..
Being a sports fan, I have been convinced for a long time that there are a lot of good players out there that never make it in the NFL, NBA or MLB; the reason being there is so much competition that a lot of good players get overlooked. Also, coaches and managers have a paradigm about what they are looking for and may not notice someone who does not fit that paradigm. I see players from Johnny Unitas to Kurt…..
Lawrence Krauss was Interview by David Pakman where he said the teaching biblical creationism is like the Taliban and Child Abuse. Below is a link to that interview: What follows is my examination of what he was saying: Lawrence Krauss: Teaching Creationism Like Taliban, Child Abuse – Logical Fallacies 1. “Fear of going to hell” “irrational fear” and “child abuse”– Question Begging Epithet Also, is not believing in hell a scientific belief or a religious belief? 2. “Filling their minds…..
Robert Reich says that the GOP has “died in 2016” and “been replaced by warring tribes.” One of these “tribes” is “Evangelicals opposed to abortion, gay marriage, and science.”1 Just to clarify in case there is someone out there who does not get what he is saying; Reich is saying that anyone that believes the Bible rather than Darwin is opposed to science. Again, as a reminder, The General Theory of Evolution and the big bang theory are actually products…..
