Higher education has become obsessed with “woke culture.” I graduated from Medical School at THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY in 1976. Already at that time “sensitivity training” and cultural awareness programs were starting up. These were not in the basic or clinical sciences but could be found in Public Health Departments. The Department of Engineering at […]
Over the past few months, I have had several conversations with Catholic Priests and Protestant Ministers, and several Religious Catholic Sisters about the lack of support amongst the clergy and the institutions of “The Church” for support of fundamental Christian Principles specifically about RIGHT TO LIFE issues like the rights of the Unborn Child, end […]
C. S. Lewis is one of my favorite Christian apologetics. Probably best known for THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA. In a collection of essays first printed in 1958 under the title “God in The Dock”, he warns us how science and good intentions can be perverted by the State. Hitler’s scientific justification for the Holocaust and […]
For the past 4 days I have read and listened to folks in the media opine about the “deep fractures” in the Idaho Republican Party. I reviewed the press release from Take Back Idaho (TBI) implying that our new Republican Party Chairwoman is an “extremist”. Like a bully who has just been “stuffed in the […]
Thank you to Jann Higdem in helping me with the collection and review of the data included in this article. There is so much that went wrong with the Covid response strategies and very little is being reported about out briefs or after-action reports or clinical MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY reviews. Mitigation strategies failed. Vaccinations—my family […]
Andrew Jameton in his book published in 1984 Nursing Practice: The Medical Issues, described the conflict that nurses experience during medical dilemmas. “Moral distress arises when one knows the right thing to do, but institutional constraints make it nearly impossible to pursue the right course of action”. These words were written forty-eight years prior to […]
Several weeks ago, I was blessed to spend a week in Boise with my two grandsons. While playing in our back yard, the eldest Brayden—all of five years, fell out of a tree and skinned his leg. He was mostly frightened by the episode, and he started to cry. He had a bleeding wound on […]
My best friend in life and adopted brother is Fr. Lance Krzywicki. Before becoming a Catholic Priest, Fr. Lance was a Wall Street Attorney and Financier. While in New York he became friends with Cardinal John Joseph O’Conner. On Holy Saturday of 1987 I became a member of the Catholic Church after undergoing ” The […]
If you were an owner or an investor in an abortion clinic in California future business couldn’t be looking better. I know such a person and he sent me the following information from the Guttmacher Institute—an organization that has always supported abortion. He considers himself to be “Pro Choice” I would like to ask upfront is […]
Organized medicine in all the modern Western Countries over the past 100 years has been at best progressive and in selected instances fascist in its application of moral and ethical standards. For conservatives, the predicate for any policy position or legal edict can be found in Biblical and Natural Law Principles. We look backwards to […]
A person with a “Warrior Spirit” is one who is willing to do everything within their power to achieve an outcome. A warrior is fearless, a warrior thinks little about “risks and rewards”, especially as they pertain to themselves. A warrior trains, takes responsibility for their actions, and is truthful to themselves and others. A […]
Liz Cheney is a mother and a wife and for that, she should be respected. She is also a throwback to the “Neo-Con” days of Casper Weinberger, the Bush’s—father and son, and her father Richard Cheney—”the Big D” as he is known in RINO circles today—one of our current Idaho Senators used that identifier for […]
