Brazen daylight robbery in LA reveals the root of California’s problem

Published by

A brazen daylight robbery in Los Angeles reveals the root of the problem of what is going on in California. The Daily Mail writes that six women entered Ulta Beauty Salon during a smash and grab and looted bags full of perfume and cosmetics while the alarm blared and customers watched. Thieves have targeted the store multiple times. The telling moment is that two of the thieves didn’t even bother to wear masks. This is because they have absolutely no fear of being arrested. If caught, they will be out on the street within hours. This is because LA County has a left-wing District Attorney, George Gascon, whose progressive soft on crime policy combined with a law that treats any thefts below $950 as a misdemeanor has led to a crime wave in California. Commenting on the theft, one LA county detective said, the maximum penalty they would receive would be the equivalent of a traffic fine. In other words, it’s just part of the cost of running a criminal enterprise in California. READ: Brazen …

Country singer and actress Jana Kramer gets water baptized

Published by

Faithwire reports that country singer and actress, Jana Kramer, recently shared Instagram posts of her water baptism that took place on Sunday, Jan 23, 2022, after her profession of faith. Kramer, 38, started her singing career in 2012 which has since featured seven chartered singles. She has also had acting roles on several TV series including, Friday Night Lights, One Tree Hill, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and CSI: NY. In her first post, Jana described the healing she received after coming to Christ, writing, “I don’t have the words yet …I will…but for now…’In the name of Jesus there is healing.’ Then in a follow-up post, which shows her sitting in a baptismal tank, Jana went into more details of what happened. Over the years, she has struggled with believing in God, and seems to suggest that this was due in part to a troubled relationship with her father, for which she was partially to blame. “He was always walking with me…I just didn’t think I deserved that. If I’m honest, I didn’t know how …

Major Danish newspaper apologizes for not questioning government COVID data

Published by

A respected Danish newspaper, Ekstra Bladet, has just apologized for not questioning the COVID data provided by the Danish government. The main issue revolves around hospitalization data, because there is a difference between being in the hospital because of COVID or in the hospital with COVID Fee provides a quote from the Danish news outlet: “WE HAVE NOT been vigilant enough at the garden gate when the authorities were required to answer what it actually meant that people are hospitalized with corona and not because of corona. Because it makes a difference. A big difference. Exactly, the official hospitalization numbers have been shown to be 27 percent higher than the actual figure for how many there are in the hospital, simply because they have corona. We only know that now. OF COURSE, it is first and foremost the authorities who are responsible for informing the population correctly, accurately and honestly. The figures for how many are sick and died of corona should, for obvious reasons, have been published long ago…” “We Failed” READ: ‘We Failed’: …

The problem with Canada’s health care system? Too many bureaucrats?

Published by

Canada’s vaunted universal and taxpayer-funded health care system was stretched to the limit by the recent COVID crisis, with the problem compounded more recently by health care workers calling in sick after coming down with Omicron. What is the root of this problem? More importantly, what can we do to fix it? Well, if the past is any indicator, they won’t be hiring more front-line workers, like nurses and doctors. They will probably just hire more bureaucrats. As Licia Corbella explains in her article in the Calgary Herald, “Canada has one healthcare administrator for every 1,415 citizens. Germany: one healthcare administrator for every 15,545.” Corbella adds: The amount of money spent on public health care is essentially the same in each country. Yet international studies show that Germany has more physicians, more specialists, and many more acute care and psychiatric beds. It far surpasses Canada in its inventory of diagnostic equipment (CT, MRI, and PET scanners) and just one per cent of its population waits more than four weeks to see a specialist, compared to …

Is God unfair?

Published by

There is a cute video of an experiment on unfairness conducted by researchers on two Capuchin monkeys. The monkeys were placed in side-by-side cages, that had openings allowing the monkeys to receive and give items to the researchers. As part of this, the woman conducting the experiment rewarded the monkeys if they handed her a small stone. It started with the researcher receiving a stone from the monkey on the left and rewarding it with a piece of cucumber. The researcher then turned to the monkey on the right and gave it a grape after receiving a small stone. Though the Capuchin monkeys are fine with cucumbers, they look upon grapes as caviar. The monkey that had gotten the cucumber immediately noticed that his companion had received a grape. The researcher returned to the first monkey, and after it gave her a stone, the researcher handed it a cucumber a second time. The reaction was immediate, after taking a small nibble from the cucumber, the monkey outraged by the unfairness took the remainder of the …

So much COVID: Do you still believe in God?

Published by

How was your life in early January? We had severe cold weather and something like a blizzard. Cars didn’t like to start, and I spend part of my working days outside. Yes, it was cold. My required COVID mask made my breath vent up to my forehead, and the moisture froze to my hair. I had the strange problem of combing ice out of my hair, all day. And yes, I had to wear a mask to protect from COVID, outside, at minus thirty, with only one other person in the area. That other person also had to wear a mask. It gets ridiculous, and we have been warned by the medical authorities that we will all be infected with the Omicron variant of COVID; we just don’t know when that will happen. Where I live, we are no longer told that vaccines will prevent COVID. The new motivator is that vaccines may reduce the severity of symptoms when we do get sick, and we will get sick. The goalposts are shifting. I could rant …
