Anthony Fauci, Moral Autonomy, and the New Priests of Science2
There’s something almost poetic about the man who considers himself the mouthpiece for science openly proclaiming allegiance to his personal moral code over the moral code of the Catholic religion he claims to identify with.

Don’t Let the Grinches Steal Your Christmas2
This Christmas season, the grinches are staying busy as usual.
