  • Is loneliness a threat to democracy?

    More and more young people in Germany say they often feel lonely. That poses significant health risks, but researchers say there's also a link between loneliness and anti-democratic attitudes. Loneliness is often described as a silent pandemic in Germany. The latest figures from the Federal Statistical Office indicate that one in six people over the age of 10 often feel lonely — that's around 12.2 million people. Loneliness is defined by psychologists as a perceived discrepancy between desired and actual social relationships, and is different from social isolation. Statistics show that in Germany young people are the worst affected: A...

    An official new study has confirmed that men who receive the Covid vaccine will tragically suffer a 24-year loss in their life expectancy. Scientists have analyzed the official data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the UK government to determine the long-term harms of mRNA jabs. The study aimed to weigh the balance of risk for the vaccines by calculating how long the negative side effects of mRNA vaccines take to reduce over time after a person receives each dose. Disturbingly, researchers found that the damage doesn’t lessen over time but, instead, increases with each...

    A proposed law in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canada will reportedly allow judges to throw adults in jail for life if they advocate for genocide online.Fox News reported Thursday that the Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) would permit life sentences. The article also said, “The law would also allow a provincial judge to impose house arrest and a fine if there were reasonable grounds to believe a defendant ‘will commit’ an offense.”After Justice Minister Arif Virani introduced the bill, he said that in his role as a father, he was frightened of the dangers children might encounter online.Virani also said...

    Jessie Thompson, a 36-year-old mother of two in Chicago, is reminded of the Covid-19 pandemic every day. Sometimes it happens when she picks up her children from day care and then lets them romp around at a neighborhood park on the way home. Other times, it’s when she gets out the shower at 7 a.m. after a weekday workout. “I always think: In my past life, I’d have to be on the train in 15 minutes,” said Ms. Thompson, a manager at United Airlines. A hybrid work schedule has replaced her daily commute to the company headquarters in downtown Chicago,...

    Department of Veterans Affairs is removing many of its restrictions regarding IVF benefits, allowing unmarried veterans and those in same-sex relationships access to expanded care for the first time. Current law requires all veterans using the VA's IVF services to be unable to procreate without the help of fertility treatments because of a health condition caused by their military...

    Twenty six years ago, in Nashville, Tennessee, during the first week of January, 1996, more than 4,000 baseball coaches descended upon the Opryland Hotel for the 52nd annual ABCA’s convention. Like all conventions, there are an array of prominent individuals in whatever the convention is about invited as speakers.As the guests lined up to register with the hotel staff, the name of one of the speakers kept coming up in conversations. Usually with the same sentiment, "John Scolinos is here? Oh man, this convention is going to be worth every penny I spent on the airfare and hotel room."So...

    Former President Donald Trump said he supports in vitro fertilization treatment after Alabama’s highest court ordered hospitals to stop offering the procedure. Trump took to Truth Social Friday to call on the state’s lawmakers to preserve access to IVF days after The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos can be considered children under state law.“Like the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Americans, including the VAST MAJORITY of Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, and Pro-Life Americans, I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby,” Trump railed online. “Today, I am calling on the Alabama Legislature...

    On Jan. 27, Dutch blogger Lauren Hoeve passed away through assisted suicide. After enduring years of chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, ME/CFS), autism, ADHD, and anxiety, she, at the young age of 28, chose euthanasia to escape a life dominated by pain. As a Canadian, I am familiar with the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, which has allowed eligible adults to request assisted death services since the federal legislation passed in June 2016. As of this year, the MAID program was also set to allow those with mental illness to choose euthanasia.

    I've had an amazing weekend, and I want to share it with you all, that you may derive strength and hope from it. I've touched a few lives and been touched with an outpouring of love this weekend, and done so in meaningful ways. From my beloved lady, to several very close internet friends, we've had heart-to-heart talks and made some tremendous plans. America is in grave danger. We stand on the precipice of having one-party rule by the Democrats at a national level. That, coupled with the heinous plans of the Globalist W.E.F. people, scares me greatly. Their plans...

    The topic of abortion is very personal to me—not just because I am a pastor, but because I myself was not planned. I was conceived as a result of a one-night stand, and could have become another abortion statistic. Thankfully, that did not happen. My childhood was not easy. I was a reluctant passenger on my mother’s wild roller-coaster ride of marriage and divorce with seven husbands. She would drink to excess every night and pass out. But she did marry one good guy: Oscar Laurie. He didn’t drink, smoke, or party—I don’t know what she saw in him! The...

    Being a resident of the Big Apple can really bite. Sure, living in the city that doesn’t sleep has its perks — access to world-renowned art, first-rate restaurants, a vibrant array of global cultures, to name a few. Yeah, yeah. That’s all great. But being a New Yorker isn’t all Tony-winning shows on Broadway and late-night cocktails at Zero Bond. In fact, a griping group of Gothamites has taken to social media to reveal some of the most distressing mishaps they’ve endured while in the survival-of-the-fittest struggle that is life in the concrete jungle.
  • The Life and Death of the American Mall: The indoor suburban shopping center is a special kind of abandoned place.

    Atlas Obscura ^ | January 10, 2024 | Matthew Christopher
    I've visited hundreds of abandoned places in my life—factories to asylums, schools to churches—but suburban malls might be the most surreal and striking. They captivate the imagination in a way few other types of environments can: with an almost imperceptible layer of fog that forms between the first and second floors of an atrium, endless reflections of vacant storefronts, or a chance encounter with a groundhog in the remains of a food court. Stripped of signage and wares, they are nearly perfectly liminal spaces. Malls have become a part of the modern collective unconscious, through both the haze of half-buried...

    A pro-life diaper company is quoting X owner Elon Musk as part of its new ad campaign featuring a billboard in Times Square. EveryLife has officially kicked off its "Make More Babies" campaign on Wednesday in the heart of the Big Apple ahead of Saturday's March for Life in Washington, D.C. The two-part billboard features a post Musk made in September reading, "Having children is saving the world." The ad will run 30 minutes straight on Wednesday and have regular appearances over the next five days.

    The first-of-its-kind discovery, described as "a dream of many fiction writers," was a huge leap forward in understanding how specimens -- perhaps even humans -- can be preserved for generations. The bdelloid rotifer is awake – and we're going to need to buy some more birthday candles. For the past 24,000 years, the multicellular microorganism had been snoozing in Siberian permafrost, having become frozen in the Arctic ice right around the same time in history that humans first ventured into North America during the Upper Paleolithic era, otherwise known as the Late Stone Age. A bdelloid rotifer is a freshwater...

    Life begins at the moment of conception. We know this to be true due to the unique genetic nature of every fetal human. I didn’t always accept this truth, however. In fact, for most of my life, I was pro-choice. I came to this realization about the nature of human life through a careful examination of embryology, rather than a careful reading of Scripture. The Bible does, however, affirm this truth. Every human being, according to Christian scripture, is a unique, intentional creation of God, even if he or she might appear to be an unplanned accident from our limited,...

    The arrival of more than 160,000 border crossers and illegal aliens is spurring “the erosion of the quality of life” for New Yorkers, Mayor Eric Adams (D) says. During a press conference alongside Chicago, Illinois, Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) and Denver, Colorado, Mayor Mike Johnston (D), Adams warned again that New York City is falling into disarray as a result of illegal immigration.

    No major reforms have taken place at the Department of Justice or FBI even as its politicized bungling of prosecutions and investigations has made major news.Jeff Fortenberry is not the person you’d expect to be charged with any crime, much less the crime of lying to the FBI. Painfully earnest, the Nebraska Republican congressman is a devout Roman Catholic who has a perfect pro-life voting record. He served on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, and has developed a reputation for activism on behalf of persecuted religious minorities in Iraq. It was that last focus that ended up getting him in...

It's a victory for students who were ejected by the National Archives and Records Administration from a Washington, D.C., museum for wearing T-shirts with pro-life messages. A report from the American Center for Law and Justice confirms the organization was assured such a situation would not be allowed to develop again. The ACLJ reported, "As we told you, at the start of mediation, our clients’ objective was to find out who was responsible for the targeting, how and why it happened, and...
