A Co-op by Any Other Name …3
I was standing at the sink washing dishes and absentmindedly listening to NPR. We were in the pandemic. Most of what I heard on the radio sounded rehearsed. The same words used repeatedly, until suddenly there was something different: “learning pods.” I turned up the radio and leaned in to listen. The radio ladies were

Justice for the V*ccine-Injured: A Ray of Hope?0
A government’s treatment of the most vulnerable is a sound test of its morality.

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. I refer to a video recently posted by Laura Powell, in which Anthony Fauci explains his relationship to religion, specifically

Don’t Let the Grinches Steal Your Christmas2
This Christmas season, the grinches are staying busy as usual. There’s the usual crew who annually devote themselves to debunking the season, flailing away at everything from a babe born in a manger to the season’s extravagant buying and selling to taking offense when someone says, “Merry Christmas!” In Iowa, Satanists have honed in on
