More Oratory For A Time Such As This

(With Apologies To William Shakespeare)
~ Editor's Note: All Caps Are Intentional. ~
An “Ancient” Retelling of Current History:
(Reference: “JULIUS CAESAR” by William Shakespeare, Act. 111, Scene 11: CAESAR’S FUNERAL ORATION, BY MARK ANTONY.)
PATRIOTS, AMERICANS, COUNTRYMEN, LISTEN TO ME.
I COME TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH, NOT TO BURY IT.
THE EVIL THAT LIBERALS DO LIVES AFTER THEM,
WHEN IT SHOULD BE BURIED WITH THEIR BONES.
SO SHOULD IT BE WITH ALL COLLECTIVISTS.
THE IGNOBLE BRUTES HAVE TOLD YOU THAT AMERICANISTS AND PATRIOTS ARE DANGEROUS;
THIS IS NOT SO, IT IS A GRIEVOUS LIE,
AND GRIEVOUSLY HAVE WE BEEN MALIGNED.
Does Information Require an Author?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
This question is important because DNA contains information, in fact, it contains complex specific encoded information. The answer to this question depends entirely upon which type of information you are referring to. Understanding this difference is the key to understanding why a naturalistic origin of life is fundamentally unworkable and impossible.
To Fight Climate Change, Stop Fighting China on Electric Vehicles
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
Much of the banter surrounding the rise of China's electric vehicle (EV) industry and the implication for the global economy is misleadingly alarmist. When our government gets involved in such narratives, it calls into question the sincerity of its insistence that EVs are essential to an existential battle against climate change. If China's foray succeeds, the world gets cleaner cars and non-Chinese automakers are obliged to improve their own products.
A common concern among government officials is that while China faces strong headwinds, the country still might have what it takes to firm up its position and maintain dominance as an EV producer and exporter. Such worries aren't confined to U.S. officials. Governments around the world are melding to cut China out of the EV market.

Four Generations of Patriotic Gallantry
2nd Lt. Creswell Garlington, Jr, DSC, died of wounds, 2 September 1944.
Albert Creswell Garlington was born in Oglethorpe County Georgia in 1822. He was the son of Christopher Garlington and Eliza Aycock Garlington. Garlington graduated from the University of Georgia in 1842 with highest honors and moved to South Carolina where he became a lawyer in 1844. He married Sally Lark Moon in 1846 and moved to her hometown of Newberry in 1848. Garlington served two terms in the South Carolina General Assembly in 1850-1854 and ran for U.S Congress in 1854 but was defeated by Preston Brooks.
The mention of Preston Brooks demands a parenthetical explanation of historical importance. Brooks was the incumbent Congressman, who had been elected in 1852 and served until his untimely death from a viral respiratory infection on January 27, 1857. On May 20, 1856, U.S. Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts made a speech on the Senate Floor, entitled, “Bleeding Kansas,” critical of Southern slavery supporters. In this speech, he particularly mocked, insulted, and impugned the character of South Carolina’s gifted, beloved, but ailing Senator, Andrew Pickens Butler (1796-1857) and also managed to criticize Illinois Senator Stephen Douglas. Butler and Douglas were co-sponsors of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. Sumner had a reputation for self-righteous arrogance During the course of the speech, Senator Douglas turned to a colleague and said, “This damn fool is going to get himself shot by some other damn fool.” Congressman Brooks was a first cousin of Senator Butler and considered Sumner to have insulted the honor of his family.
“Courage Is Being Scared To Death And Saddling Up Anyway”
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Life really is much harder if you’re stupid, especially if you’re deliberately stupid. Words to that effect were uttered by the hard-nosed (but soft hearted) Sergeant Stryker in the great old 1949 film, “Sands of Iwo Jima”, and portrayed so well by John Wayne (1907-1979), one of the most unique actors that American film has ever produced and who, despite his failures and shortcomings was one of the most sincere patriots our country has ever produced. An iconoclast of leftist/progressive causes, Wayne was a strong supporter (in his later life) of traditional Americanism and the constitutional form of government given to Americans by our Founders. As he matured, he became a political conservative, much to the chagrin of the leftist vermin and brain damaged“ moonbats” who increasingly dominated Hollywood during most of his career.
Do Genetic Algorithms Show That Intelligence is Not Needed to Produce Information?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
A genetic algorithm is a search algorithm that seeks optimization by random changes within a population of solutions. They are alleged to mimic natural selection and because of this they are used as evidence of universal common descent evolution being possible and claimed as proof that information need not be the product of an intelligent mind. However, when one looks closely and objectively at these algorithms, they actually do the opposite.
The Indian Wars and the Medal of Honor

An astonishing 421 Medals of Honor 1867-1898
Brigadier General Ernest A. Garlington, ca. 1907; Medal of Honor, 1890
American colonists and later the United States Army were engaged in frequent conflicts with Native American tribes from the very beginning of North American settlement. Over 1,000 skirmishes and battles occurred during the 25 years following the Civil War, from the Commanche War from 1867 to 1885 to the Pine Ridge Campaign in 1890 and 1891. The latter included the infamous Battle and Massacre at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota on December 29, 1890, involving the Lakota Sioux.
