Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Baby Boomer Gives Gun Protesters Something to Think About ~ It takes decades of life experience to understand that the world doesn’t work the way you want it to ~
It was my generation that looked for a world of peace and “free” peace. To obtain this goal, we destroyed family structures, sexual morals and marriage. We tried to make love free, and it came at the high price of shattering families and destroying individual lives (including those not yet born).
Far from producing love and peace, this shattered world is engendering bitter fruits in a society that is coming apart with great violence […]
It finds tragic expression in the lives of lonely individuals who seek revenge upon society by killing other students.
And more advice ~ Confessions of a Former Teen Activist ~ A cautionary tale ~
Young people have important things to say, and old people can easily compromise and sell out. Still, we do best when mature leaders lead the way.
Singer Who Survived Bataclan Attack Condemns Gun Control March ~ A realistic perspective from someone who’s a lot older and wiser than a 17 year-old high school student ~
Jesse Hughes is a member of Eagles of Death Metal, the band that was playing at the Bataclan concert venue when Muslim extremists shot 89 people to death in November of 2015 […]
‘All of you protesting and taking days off from school insult the memory of those who were killed’
Hundreds of thousands march to protest legalized abortion in Argentina ~ While thousands of lefties were marching for gun control in the U.S. last weekend…
ARGENTINA, March 27, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — Hundreds of thousands of Argentinians filled the streets in 200 cities across the predominantly Catholic country on Palm Sunday to march for life and against a bill to legalize abortion now before its national Congress.
In California, #EarthHour failed to even register a blip in electricity reduction ~ Oops. Surprisingly, nobody really wants to sit in the dark for an hour.
Oldest Language in India Only 4,500 Years Old ~ Something to ponder. Oddly enough, this discovery lines up with the Biblical account of tribal dispersions after the Tower of Babel ~
If modern humans left Africa 185,000 years ago or more, why does the oldest language in India date back less than 3% of that time?
ISIS: Surging Again in Syria? ~ As long as the area remains unstable they’re not going away ~
Even the once-optimistic U.N. Special Envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, now believes that ISIS could make a comeback, exploiting the lack of a political settlement in Syria. The longer the stalemate drags on in Syria, the better it is for ISIS — and other terrorist groups, for that matter — to feed off the chaos and to continue posing a danger to regional and global security.
Who’s Actually Fostering War With Iran: John Bolton or the New York Times? ~ President Trump’s new national security advisor is a realist – not a warmonger ~
As the Islamic Republic’s expansion in Syria sets the stage for a wider war in the Middle East, many observers in the West advocate policies euphemistically labeled “engagement” that amount to inaction in the face of Iranian aggression, thereby advancing, not stopping, the path to armed conflict. Bolton, conversely, actually may help prevent large-scale war in the Middle East because of his “ultra-hawkishness,” by reestablishing a credible U.S. military deterrent to avert a catastrophic conflict.

(T)hey inform anyone who wants to hold a wedding on their property that they will donate a percentage of their profits to organizations that champion traditional marriage in America.
Dick Morris: Is This Finally the End of Mueller? ~ The Russian collusion investigation has become a farce; Mueller has acted way beyond the original intent and the scope of his authority. Manafort’s attorneys have now filed a motion to dismiss, pointing out the Jeff Sessions’ recusal only applied to matters relating to the campaign ~
Investigating anything else — like Manafort’s business dealings in Ukraine or Trump’s prior business activities or those of brother-in-law Jared Kushner — is all outside the scope of Session’s recusal and, therefore, of Rosenstein’s authority (to appoint Mueller in the first place).
Murder of Jewish woman in Paris flat being treated as anti-Semitic ~ A horrific crime by two Muslim men, one of whom supposedly knew the 85 year-old for twenty years! #ReligionofPeace ~
A French-Israeli MP Meyer Habib said he was convinced Mrs Knoll had become the victim of the ‘hatred and barbarism of an Islamist’, who ‘stabbed her eleven times in her family flat’.
Starbucks forced to put cancer warning on products ~ When a progressive company reaps the big government intrusion they sow ~
Starbucks must slap a cancer warning on its products in California, a judge ruled Wednesday — just the latest in a long line of products now forced to bear the foreboding label in the Golden State.
But, Should you be worried about cancer in your coffee? ~ No.
You cannot drink enough coffee to give you cancer.
