Faith-based weather broadcasting
Dec 30, 2025 7:03 AM

Via Drudge, the Weather Channel “Climate Expert” is taking serious flack (check ments) for her call to pull the credentials of any media meteorologist who doesn’t endorse the theory of human-caused global warming. The cover provided by her boss doesn’t garner any more favorable feedback.

I think people want more science from scientists and less dogma. I know I do.

UPDATE: On the other hand, this seems a little over the top.

If forecasters can’t reliably tell us what will happen in two to three months from now, why would anyone trust that they know what will happen with the weather in 50 or 100 years from now and let them tell us how to live our lives accordingly? This is all about Big Brother do-gooders trying to control how you live your life, and stripping away the freedoms and liberties of people to live their lives as they see fit, engage merce and raise their families.

The truth is probably someplace in between.

UPDATE: Sorry, the cartoon is doing something funny with the format. Link is here.

UPDATE: Lots more here.

Celebrating the work of delivery drivers
Online shopping has soared in the wake of COVID-19, boosting merce giants like Amazon and Walmart, and creating record growth for UPS and FedEx. While some question the moral legitimacy of these gains, others celebrate the market’s ability to respond plex demands, innovating products and adapting supply chains to meet countless human needs. Yet we should also remember that such businesses are not mere machines to be retooled, adjusted, and manipulated for materialistic purposes. Fundamentally, businesses are organisms and ecosystems...
New issue of Journal of Markets & Morality (Vol. 23, No. 2) released
The newest issue of the Journal of Markets & Morality, vol. 23, no. 2 (2020), has been released. This issue’s memorates the centennial of Abraham Kuyper’s death in 1920. The issue is guest edited by Jessica Joustra, the assistant professor of religion and theology at Redeemer University in Toronto, and Robert Joustra, the associate professor of politics and international studies at Redeemer. In their editorial in this issue, they provocatively cast Kuyper in a mischievous bative light: Abraham Kuyper (1837–1920),...
Solzhenitsyn: Prophet to America
Solzhenitsyn and American Culture: The Russian Soul in the West. David P. Deavel and Jessica Hooten Wilson, eds. University of Notre Dame Press. 2020. 392 pages. English literature scholar Ed Ericson told a story about teaching Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago to American undergrads, who knew plenty about the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews and other dehumanized minorities but next to nothing about the genocidal history of the Bolshevik and Stalinist regimes. Ericson, who worked tirelessly to widen Solzhenitsyn’s audience in...
Free video conference celebrates Sir Roger Scruton on the first anniversary of his death
Sir Roger Scruton passed away on January 12, 2020 – one year ago today. On the first anniversary of his death, many of his closest friends and colleagues will celebrate his memory and his incalculable contribution to conservatism in a free, online conference titled, “Remembering Roger Scruton.” Scruton’s death from cancer at the age of 75 deprived the worldwide conservative movement of his intellectual prowess, incisive and precise philosophical distinctions, and playfully delightful expressions. He produced an array of books,...
‘The road to smurfdom’: American mobocracy threatens our freedom
Between the riots of last spring and the recent storming of the U.S. Capitol, the forces of polarization appear stronger than ever, manifesting across American society with increasing energy and destruction. Despite all our talk of “unity,” the division only seems to fester, perpetuated by the spread of misinformation and partisan efforts to justify all sorts of reckless disregard. The various movements have their distinctions, to be sure. Each represents a unique set of grievances among a subset of the...
Warrior for liberty: Rev. Maciej Zięba, O.P. (1954-2020)
Few people have the courage to resist a totalitarian system from within; fewer still have the intellectual and moral grounding to plant the seeds of its metamorphosis into a free and virtuous society. The world lost one such person on the last day of 2020. “A wretched year came to a sorrowful end when Father Maciej Zięba, O.P., died in his native Wrocław, Poland, on December 31,” wrote George Weigel in First Things. The 66-year-old Dominican, who suffered from cancer,...
The death and resurrection of ‘The 1776 Report’ (full report text)
While I was reading The 1776 Report, it disappeared. The missioned to “enable a rising generation to understand the history and principles of the founding of the United States,” which found itself memory-holed by one of the initial executive orders President Joe Biden signed during his first day in office, expertly explains the American philosophy of liberty and applies it to the most threatening modern-day crises. For that reason, I’m giving an overview of its most significant points and posting...
What to expect in Joe Biden’s first 100 days
Ever since Franklin D. Roosevelt took office on March 4, 1933, a president’s first 100 days have served as a benchmark for his presidency. Newly inaugurated President Joe Biden has already made history by signing an unprecedented number of executive orders on his first day and pledging a flurry of legislation which will greatly expand the size, scope, and cost of government while reversing protections for people of faith and the unborn. Biden’s staff designed some of his initiatives to...
As children thrive at charter schools, progressives threaten their future
The COVID-19 global pandemic has exposed significant fault lines in America’s educational system, testing moral and mitments among parents, teachers, school administrators, and politicians alike. Punctuated by media battles between teachers’ unions, governors, and the president, one thing has e increasingly clear: America’s public education system is far too vulnerable to the whims of partisanship and far too insulated from the promises of reform. Among individual families, however, the pandemic may be driving a cultural awakening about the value of...
Paying all employees the same salary caused therapists trauma
A psychotherapy practice’s year-long experiment with paying every employee an equal salary has disproved the central economic thesis of socialism. Calvin Benton co-founded Spill, a British firm that offers psychological counseling via online technology like Zoom. He met another of pany’s founders a decade earlier while taking an economics class together. It’s not known whether the failure of pensation model came in spite of, or because of, their economics instructors. As Benton and his four co-workers got Spill off the...
