In modern society, we have come to treat Experts™ as if they were engineers instead of researchers who learn what they can, develop hypotheses, and test those hypotheses against reality to see where our theories of how things work are right and where they are wrong. Advertisement Subject matter Experts™ are not engineers, and shouldn’t be treated as such. Engineers understand the limits of what we know and can trust, and in most cases, they work well within the “safe” limits because they know that they can’t take into account all the variables. When they don’t, they wind up building the…
Talk show host Stephen Colbert, who has long been lauded as a devout Catholic, baffled Christians with a very anti-Christian claim about life after death on the penultimate episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

An autopsy of the 2024 election commissioned by the Democratic National Committee leaked Thursday. It is, in a word, “garbage.” The post-mortem, first published by CNN, elides honest self-evaluation for sloppy conclusions and self-congratulation.“At times, it seems Democrats are trying to win arguments while Republicans are focused on winning elections. Democrats operate in an ecosystem defined by reason even in cycles when the electorate is defined by rage. This highlights a fundamental and necessary truth — a brutal and efficiently delivered message will frame the choice for voters and help actually win the election,” the report reads.

As indicated by its title (“Court Packing: A Threat to the Supreme Court’s Legitimacy”), the hearing was supposed to examine how the left is using such efforts to push for stacking the court with left-wing activists who…

The reason Stephen Colbert has never been funny is that he is incapable of making fun of himself.

Cranberry polyphenols: Nature’s weapon against the globalist gut health conspiracy Cranberry juice contains powerful polyphenolic compounds called anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins that prevent harmful bacteria from attaching to surfaces in the body, offering natural protection against urinary tract and gut infections, directly threatening Big Pharma’s profits from antibiotics. The anthocyanins in cranberries act as natural prebiotics that feed beneficial gut bacteria and support the production of short-chain fatty acids crucial for maintaining the gut barrier and the gut-brain connection. Most commercial cranberry juice is heavily diluted and loaded with added sugar like high fructose corn syrup, which feeds harmful bacteria and…
