20+ min ago (932+ words) Peter Thiel's thoughtful examination of the spirit of the Antichrist is legitimate, given the current and the last century's mindboggling civilizational dislocations-- particularly as they exponentially accelerated through technological innovations such as AI. The archetype of the Antichrist is a valid means to put into perspective the human condition and the institutions in the grip of modernist moral limbo, a relativist nightmare creating insoluble dilemmas brought on by moral paralysis. Thiel addresses the questions concerning AI, human rationality, and the ability to discern good and evil in his essay The Straussian Moment: The mania we have around artificial intelligence is that it stands for the proposition that humans aren't supposed to think." We want the machines to do the thinking, but it's because we're in a world where individuals aren't supposed to have intellectual agency of any sort anymore." We…...

Posted in Current News Tonight on Stinchfield Tonight, I broke down one of the most alarming scientific frontiers in modern biotechnology: the push, now openly funded by Big Tech, to gene-edit human embryos and manufacture genetically engineered children Based on previously published evidence, this will end in catastrophe. This entire effort is founded on a fatal scientific illusion'the idea that we can safely re-write the human genome at the earliest stages of life without profound consequences. Zuccaro et al (2020) attempted to "fix" a single mutation in a human embryo using CRISPR-Cas9. Specifically, they targeted a paternal frameshift mutation in the EYS gene'a mutation associated with inherited retinal degeneration'intending to cut the defective sequence and allow the embryo's own repair machinery to restore a normal, wild-type allele. Here is what happened: Instead of fixing…...

25+ min ago (694+ words) The New Venture Fund (NVF), a behemoth left-wing dark money charity, wired $2.3 million last year to the law firm that dozens of Democratic prosecutors have contracted to spearhead high-stakes climate litigation against oil companies, according to its latest tax filings. At the same time, it bankrolled a group that advises judges on how to handle those cases. Since its founding in 2016, Sher Edling has received more than $16 million from the NVF-sponsored fund and has simultaneously taken up lawsuits against the oil industry on behalf of at least nine Democrat-run states and more than a dozen Democrat-run cities, which are collectively home to a quarter of the U.S. population. The lawsuits accuse oil companies of causing global warming, deceiving the public about the harms of fossil fuels, and, therefore, bearing responsibility for damages stemming from extreme weather events. As the case pended…...

26+ min ago (637+ words) Rep. Julie Fedorchak, R-N.D., criticizes the Affordable Care Act for what she says are higher costs and explains when and why she thinks Americans will see economic relief on "Fox Report." Its time for all of us to admit what the American people already know: Obamacare has failed." The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, created a system that enriched insurance companies and hospitals and screwed over Americans. Obamacare didnt let people keep their insurance plans or their doctors, and families didnt save money "and neither did the federal government. Families have been left with higher costs and healthcare that doesnt meet their needs. " I want to tell you about a family with a preexisting health condition that I think about whenever I talk about healthcare in our country."They grew up in public housing, rarely saw a doctor....

26+ min ago (352+ words) Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway and former Democratic Pennsylvania congressman Patrick Murphy discuss the White House's focus on affordability ahead of Thanksgiving on "The Story with Martha MacCallum.' The most obvious approach to helping Gen Xers buy homes is to lower costs by increasing available supply. To be sure, this supply-side solution has its place. But here's something else to consider: marriage." It's no coincidence that high housing costs coincide with another socioeconomic trend: low marriage rates. Per the Institute of Family Studies, "only about 60% of 35-year-old men are ever married today, down from 90% in 1980." And, "just 20% of 25-year-old women and 23% of 25-year-old men have ever married today. These are close to the lowest levels ever observed for marriage rates."" The decline in marriage has several important implications for housing costs. TRUMP'S"50-YEAR"MORTGAGE JUST INTRODUCES A NEW KIND OF…...

26+ min ago (387+ words) Conservative podcaster Katie Miller called out "CNN NewsNight" host Abby Phillip on Friday, saying she allowed a guest to call her husband, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, a "white nationalist." The Millers were forced to move from their home in Arlington, Virginia, after a campaign of targeted harassment which included written messages such as "Stephen Miller is destroying democracy," "no white nationalism," and "trans rights are human rights" on public sidewalks near his residence.

26+ min ago (328+ words) The Harvard University student who faced criminal charges for assaulting an Israeli classmate during an anti-Israel "die-in" protest, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, has a new job: He is a teaching fellow at" Harvard. Tettey-Tamaklo, who was removed from his position as a proctor overseeing freshmen in the wake of the incident, began work as a "Graduate Teaching Fellow" at Harvard in August, according to his LinkedIn profile. He says he works to "advise faculty on curriculum design." As that legal process played out, the Trump administration demanded Harvard expel Tettey-Tamaklo over the assault. Instead, Harvard hired him. Throughout the ordeal, the school never disciplined Tettey-Tamaklo or his compadre, Ibrahim Bharmal, and refused to cooperate with prosecutors in the case. It's unclear in which school Tettey-Tamaklo is serving as a teaching fellow; his LinkedIn profile only says the job is a "full-time" and…...

26+ min ago (364+ words) On Sunday, five weeks after ousting Kelly, LSU hired Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin. While the school did not disclose contract details, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that Kiffin will make about $12 million annually over seven years and have the opportunity to earn more through performance bonuses. Even as Landry questioned the sanity of Kelly's contract, LSU ended up paying even more per year for Kiffin. And although Kiffin's contract has not been disclosed, his agents at CAA no doubt negotiated a clause guaranteeing that he would receive a substantial payout if he gets fired before his deal expires. Kiffin, in the past few weeks, has had the ultimate leverage. Southeastern Conference rivals LSU and Florida pursued him for their openings, while Ole Miss wanted to keep him and vowed to match any offer. Still, Kiffin chose LSU, which is an…...
