The Hidden Dangers of Corticosteroids
To regulate itself, the body often relies upon sensors that detect something amiss and then emit a signal that is amplified by the body so that a process can be set in motion to fix the issue that set the sensor off. One of the key signals the body relies upon are hormones, as small amounts of these molecules being released are often sufficient to change the internal state of the body drastically.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is the body’s central stress response system. It has ...
When East and West can’t meet: Between Leviathan, Behemoth and Mandala
The first ever ASEAN-China-GCC trilateral summit was a de facto celebration of the New Silk Road spirit.
The first ever ASEAN-China-GCC trilateral summit earlier this week in Malaysia – with 17 Global South nations at the table – was a de facto celebration of the New Silk Road spirit.
Malaysian Prime Minister and current ASEAN chair Anwar Ibrahim summed it all up: “From the ancient Silk Road to the vibrant maritime networks of Southeast Asia to modern trade corridors, our peoples have long conne...
The American-Israeli Nineteenth-Century Ways of War
In his book Nation, State and Economy, published in 1919, Ludwig von Mises wrote of how nineteenth-century imperialist powers often preceded their wars of “conquest, subjugation, and extermination” with the dehumanization of their victims through massive propaganda campaigns which then continued during the wars and beyond. He noted that German, British, and American imperialist powers had waged wars against what they called “the lower races” — people who are supposedly “not ready for self govern...
From the Moral Majority to a Moral Meltdown
The title of today’s column is the same as the title of my homily last Sunday, May 25, 2025. On this day, my wife and I—along with our local Liberty Fellowship family—commemorated the 50th anniversary of my ordination into the ministry. My message was a brief reflection of what I have seen and experienced in the last half-century. This column will be the same.
I began last Sunday’s message with my boyhood, but I’ll begin this column from the time I was 27 years old (four years into the ministry)...
CDC New Covid Recommendations, a Limited Hangout?
Many were cheering when HHS Secretary Rober Kennedy Jr., NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, and FDA Director Marty Makary, provided a brief video statement announcing that the CDC will no longer be recommending COVID shots for healthy children and healthy pregnant women. Hmmm….so this means that they are still recommending mRNA bioweapon injections to everybody 18 and older and to sick people of all ages. Those of us not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome or cognitive dissonance, responded with multi...

Biden Admin Knew Covid Shot Risks in Early 2021 But Kept Silent for Months: Senate Report
The Biden administration was aware of cardiovascular dangers associated with the COVID-19 vaccines as early as its second month in office yet delayed disclosing them for months, according to a report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
The Daily Wire obtained a copy of the report, which uncovered a February 2021 email from Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group (VaST) co-lead Lauri Markowitz that reported of the almost 1,000 post-va...
How Donald Trump Discovers the Art of Political Negotiation
We don’t understand the negotiations in Ukraine and the Middle East because we don’t understand the difference between wars and civil conflicts. We approach peacemaking as if it were a matter of dividing up common property during a divorce, after a few years of living together. But wars are of unparalleled intensity and are rooted in long-standing conflicts, often spanning several generations. Generally speaking, material conditions, suffering, and violence are of secondary importance compared t...
The Problem Is the Weaponization of the Dollar, Not the US National Debt
Elon Musk expressed his disappointment in the Trump administrations bill, passed by the House, that avoided an automatic tax increase that would have occurred at the conclusion of 2025 by making permeant the 2017 tax reductions and which increased spending on defense and US border security. Musk mistakenly thinks that this bill undermines his and DOGE’s effort to reduce the federal deficit.
Musk should see his and DOGE’s success not in terms of deficit reduction, but in terms of eliminating was...
Is Trump’s Axis of the Plutocrats Marginalizing Israel?
Colorful career criminal Willie Sutton once may (or may not) have been asked why he robbed banks. “Because that is where the money is,” he supposedly replied. A similar principle may explain the first foreign trip of President Donald J. Trump’s second term, which was not to a traditional U.S. ally in Europe. Rather, he set off to visit the capitals of the Gulf hydrocarbon potentates Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. In royal palaces there, he feasted and was offered hundreds of ...
