The Slope Isn’t Slippery — It’s Inevitable

Written by Peter Heck

Societies like ours don’t jump off ethical cliffs in a single leap. They drift toward them in the name of lofty sounding ideals like autonomy and empathy.

Illinois Senate Bill 1950 is a tragic example of this.

The bill allows doctors to prescribe lethal drugs to patients deemed “terminal” within six months.… Continue Reading

U.S. Senator Paul Challenges Vaccine Recommendations for Infants

Written by David E. Smith

Dr. Susan Monarez, PhD—a microbiologist, public health official, and former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—testified yesterday before the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. She alleged that she was fired for refusing to comply with directives from Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which she said would have compromised scientific integrity.

According to Monarez, she was pressured to approve changes to the childhood vaccination schedule, including the possible removal of the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns.… Continue Reading

Gov. JB Pritzker: “There is no Emergency in Chicago…”

Written by David E. Smith

After a weekend of bloodshed—34 shot in Chicago, including a 5-year-old boy killed in his own home—Governor JB Pritzker, flanked by Mayor Brandon Johnson and U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, had the audacity to declare with straight faces:

“There is no emergency in Chicago that calls for armed military intervention.”

For anyone who lives, works, or grew up in Chicago, the denial is staggering. Over the weekend alone, five people were killed, including the young child in Kenwood and a woman slain in a West Side mass shooting that left five others wounded.… Continue Reading

Thanksgiving Transcends Our Political Mayhem

Written by Cameron Dominy

“Behold, now, the providence of God”
~William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation (1630-51)

This Thursday, millions of Americans will come together for a strange little holiday we call Thanksgiving. Regretfully, the current climate of American politics means too many celebrations across the country will end in bitter resentment between family members, and a deepened divide in our public discourse. Our commemoration of the 1621 harvest feast between Native Americans and Protestant Separatists is often misconstrued, and seldom understood.… Continue Reading
