The post The last thing our politically-divided nation needs right now appeared first on NC Policy Watch.

A study by the EU-funded European Council on Foreign Relations found that the West is increasingly out of touch politically with the rest of the world. Most people in China, India, and Türkiye see Russia as an important ally, and they want a multipolar world, not continued “American global supremacy”.

It's Monday, February 20th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Christian families denied rations from Indian government Ten Christian families in the Central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh were denied government incentives by the village administration due to their faith affiliation, reports International Christian Concern. They were summoned on January 26th where the villagers, influenced by the radical Hindu nationalists, pressured the Christians to give up their Christian faith or be denied provisions like rice, beans, and oil that the government otherwise provides for the poor. These Christian families, which trusted Christ four years ago, have since been reeling under extreme harassment and physical abuse by the radical Hindus. However, they stand strong in spite of losing needed provisions. Additionally, the local pastor was denied entry to conduct worship and was taken by the police for interrogation on false conversion charges. He said, “The harassment continues to increase against Christians in Bara Chomri village. However, we Christians did not worry. We don't need incentives. [We're] ready to pay any cost and lay down our lives.” Police released the pastor with the warning not to enter the village again. In John 15:20, Jesus said, “A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you also.” World Health and UNICEF are tricking and sterilizing young Kenyan women Google-owned YouTube has once again censored LifeSiteNews, this time for their reporting on a World Health Organization tetanus vaccine used to sterilize young women of childbearing age in Kenya, Africa. The Big Tech video-sharing platform has deleted an interview conducted by editor-in-chief John-Henry Westen with Dr. Wahome Ngare, a Kenyan obstetrician and gynecologist. In the interview, Dr. Ngare speaks out about how the World Health Organization's tetanus vaccine campaign, carried out in conjunction with the Kenyan government, was actually intended as a population control effort. LifeSiteNews has appealed the removal of the video and YouTube's strike against The John-Henry Westen Channel, which bans him from posting new content for 7 days. The strike does not expire until May 18; two more strikes would mean a permanent ban from YouTube. The key piece of evidence was the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG in several of the vaccine vials. HCG is a hormone integral to alerting a woman she is pregnant. Dr. Ngare explained to John-Henry Westen that the tetanus vaccine, laced with HCG, would produce both anti-tetanus and anti-HCG antibodies. Biden heads to Europe to shore up support for Ukraine President Joe Biden heads to Europe this week in a trip meant to be a show of defiance, reports Politico.com. He will mark a second year of war by denouncing Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and publicly declare that the United States will support Kyiv until the final moments of the conflict. Biden leaves today for Poland to meet with President Andrzej Duda and other key NATO leaders. President Jimmy Carter in hospice care Former President Jimmy Carter has entered hospice care in his Georgia home, reports FoxNews.com. On Saturday, The Carter Center said, “After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.” Actor Tom Sizemore had a brain aneurysm Saving Private Ryan star Tom Sizemore is in critical condition at a Los Angeles hospital after he suffered a brain aneurysm at his home, reports The Gazette-Times. His manager, Charles Lago, said Sizemore was at his South Main Street apartment at around 2:00am on Saturday when he suffered a brain aneurysm and became unconscious. Someone found the 61-year-old actor and quickly called 911. EMS crews then transported Sizemore to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit.  He has had a history of drug abuse including meth and run-ins with the law including domestic violence against a former spouse. Politically-correct publisher changing Roald Dahl's children's books Roald Dahl, the British novelist who died in 1990 at the age of 74, would not be pleased with how Puffin publishing is deleting hundreds of words from and adding whole paragraphs to his original manuscripts -- all in the interest of political correctness, reports The Guardian. Puffin has hired “sensitivity readers” to rewrite chunks of the author's text to make sure the books “can continue to be enjoyed by all today,” resulting in extensive changes across Dahl's work including his bestselling children's books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and James and The Giant Peach. For example, Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now described as “enormous” instead of “fat.” In The Twits, Mrs. Twit is no longer “ugly and beastly,” but just “beastly.” And the Oompa-Loompas, the little people who worked to make the candy in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, are now gender-neutral. OOMPA-LOOMPAS: “Oompa loompa doompa-de-doo, I've a perfect puzzle for you. Oompa loompa doompa-de-dee, If you are wise, you will listen to me.” 23-year-old woman rows solo 3,000 miles across Atlantic And finally, a 23-year-old woman just set the Talisker Challenge record for the fastest solo row across the 3,000-mile-wide Atlantic Ocean, reports Good News Network. Departing on December 10th from the Canary Islands, located 62 miles West of Morocco, Africa, Mariam Payne rowed 59 days, 16 hours, and 36 minutes, before arriving in Antigua, an island east of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Sea, last Friday. She raised $14,200 for the east Yorkshire charity Wellbeing of Women and Mind. The journey is described as the toughest endurance event on Earth. No support is allowed—all food, water, and other necessities must be brought along.  The organizers of the challenge said, “Sleep deprivation, hallucinations, hunger and the ultimate test of body and mind will be balanced by sighting incredible marine life, witnessing the breaking of a new day, and sunsets that cannot be viewed by land.” Payne rowed 15 hours per day, alone, in the vast Atlantic Ocean during 86°F days with strong winds. Before she left, she described her fears. PAYNE: “The sleep deprivation, seasickness, and dealing with the big waves. But I think a lot of it's going to be the boredom of it, especially being on my own.” It would have been a great time to talk to God in prayer, asking for His protection and thanking Him for his beautiful creation. Psalm 16:1 says, "Keep me safe, my God, for in You I take refuge.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, February 20th, in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Judy Chang, former Massachusetts undersecretary of Energy and Climate Solutions, discusses the need to educate consumers on the imperative to cut building emissions. --- Residential and commercial buildings account for nearly a third of climate warming greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.  Yet efforts to reduce the climate footprint of buildings have become political lightning rods.  Local regulations requiring new homes to be fully electrified often encounter fierce pushback, while at least 20 states have moved to outlaw local bans on natural gas connections in new homes.  Politics aside, business and home owners may have little awareness of their building's climate footprint, and often lack the time and motivation to explore alternatives like electric space and water heating. Judy Chang, former Massachusetts undersecretary of Energy and Climate Solutions, discusses the political, economic hurdles to cutting the climate impact of buildings.  She also examines the role that consumers will play in efforts to decarbonize, and the need to educate consumers on the imperative to cut building emissions.

In today's edition of "Tech Talk," our biweekly segment, Boston Globe technology writer Hiawatha Bray explains why some researchers are wondering if AI bots like ChatGPT have political leanings, and why it matters.

Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, internationally acclaimed artist William Kentridge engages with politics and memory through a variety of forms – from charcoal drawings, animation and sculptures, to immersive videos, theatre and opera. His 2022 exhibition at London's Royal Academy was hailed as "enthralling," an "operatic epic," while Kentridge's current retrospective at L.A.'s Broad Museum has been called "extraordinary." He spoke to Eleanor Wachtel about his work and career, as well as his recent "lockdown" project, a series of films about Kentridge's life in the studio, called "Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot," which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall.

Amir Odom (@amirxodom) is a public speaker committed to providing objective truth, and giving people the tools they need to rationally share their opinion. He initially started to gain traction for his more conservative takes on his instagram, which eventually led to him meeting President Trump, and participating in a Prager U video on YouTube that now has over a million views, which might surprise many of you since he is both black and gay. But only a couple years ago, Amir was the complete opposite. He was a very left leaning, BLM supporter who had his world shaken up after just a few instances in his life. Today, I talk to him about: His upbringing and how his failed suicide attempts changed him What made him start leaning more towards the conservative side of the political spectrum How he has handled criticism throughout his life Why critical thinking is dying Why I disagree with some of his political beliefs My New Podcast YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thehastingsharvest --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-hastings-harvest/support

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective.Cornel West is well-known for his outspoken views on politics, race and economics. Politically and otherwise, he is left-leaning, to put it mildly. He is not a fan of Western capitalism and has severe critiques of the history of racism in the West and its lingering effects.Whether you agree with Cornel's political views or not, one thing you have to appreciate is his congenial manner and absolute commitment to the free exchange of ideas. Cornel is a big believer in freedom of speech and is concerned about its loss, particularly in places of higher education.Sadly, by his own estimation, such confidence in the free exchange of ideas is waning dramatically, especially among his fellow liberal colleagues.As Christians, though, we need not be afraid of the free exchange of ideas. The Truth is never afraid of being vulnerable. The Truth is never afraid of being rejected. The Truth is never obsessed with controlling others. The Truth is never insecure. Rather, the Truth of the gospel demonstrates its strength by giving itself away, even for those that hate it (John 3:19-21; 19:1-11) and even for those that seek to suppress it (Romans 1:18). The Truth always operates in courageous love.As Cornel West puts it: “Most people are afraid of freedom…. [But] There is no freedom without unbelievable, unprecedented, unstoppable courage.”I'd like to add: there is no courage without Truth. It's Truth that gives us backbone—that allows us to enter the free exchange of ideas. Truth is afraid of nothing.Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective.John 18 (ESV)33 So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”John 19 (ESV)1 Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. 3 They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. 4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” 6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.” 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.” 8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid. 9 He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?” 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore, he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.”

It was obvious when the Capitol riot took place on Jan. 6, 2021, that its aftereffects would last for a long time. The prosecutions alone would be lengthy, and indeed, they are still underway and will be for the foreseeable future. Politically, from the beginning, one party, the Republicans, had an incentive to move on, while the other, the Democrats, had an incentive to dwell on Jan. 6 for as long as possible.

The warnings about the climate emergency are coming in fast and furious, yet public awareness and political action remain at a low level. The latest report is from the World Meteorological Organization, a UN agency. Its director said, “The impacts of climate change” are "often felt through water—more intense and frequent droughts, more extreme flooding, more erratic seasonal rainfall and accelerated melting of glaciers—with cascading effects on economies, ecosystems, and all aspects of our daily lives." There is an urgent need for collective action to avoid irreversible tipping points. Meanwhile, The Guardian reports, fossil fuel corporations “are making astronomical amounts of money.” Politically, the mitigation measures taken so far are woefully inadequate. People are distracted. They know more about the World Cup than the climate crisis. Interviewed by David Barsamian.

Sean covers the latest on the battle for the House Speakership.  Politically speaking, the Democrats are loving the chaos of the Republicans but enough is enough... it's time to put an end to the debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Read The Sequences, published by Quadratic Reciprocity on December 23, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. There is heavy overlap among the effective altruism and rationality communities but they are not the same thing. Within the effective altruism community, especially among those who are newer to the movement and were introduced to it through a university group, I've noticed some tension between the two. I often sense the vibe that sometimes people into effective altruism who haven't read much of the canonical LessWrong content write off the rationalist stuff as weird or unimportant. I think this is a pretty big mistake. Lots of people doing very valuable work within effective altruism got interested in it via first interacting with rationalist content, in particular The Sequences and Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. I think that is for good reason. If you haven't come across those writings before, here's a nudge to give The Sequences a read. The Sequences are a (really long) collection of blog posts written by Eliezer Yudkowsky on the science and philosophy of human rationality. They are divided into sequences - a list of posts on a similar topic. Most of the posts would have been pretty useful to me on their own but I also got more value from reading posts in a particular sequence to better internalise the concepts. There are slightly fewer posts in The Sequences than there are days in the year so reading the whole thing is a very doable thing to do in the coming year! You can also read Highlights from the Sequences which cover 50 of the best essays. Below, I'll list some of the parts that I have found especially helpful and that I often try to point to when talking to people into effective altruism (things I wish they had read too). Fake Beliefs is an excellent sequence if you already know a bit about biases in human thinking. The key insight there is about making beliefs pay rent (“don't ask what to believe—ask what to anticipate”) and that sometimes your expectations can come apart from your professed beliefs (fake beliefs). The ideas were helpful for me noticing when that happens, for example when I believe I believe something but actually do not. It happens a bunch when I start talking about abstract, wordy things but forget to ask myself what I would actually expect to see in the world if the things I am saying were true. Noticing Confusion is a cool sequence that talks about things like: What is evidence? (“For an event to be evidence about a target of inquiry, it has to happen differently in a way that's entangled with the different possible states of the target”) Your strength as a rationalist is your ability to be more confused by fiction than by reality - noticing confusion when something doesn't check out and going EITHER MY MODEL IS FALSE OR THIS STORY IS WRONG Absence of evidence is evidence of absence, and conservation of expected evidence (“If you expect a strong probability of seeing weak evidence in one direction, it must be balanced by a weak expectation of seeing strong evidence in the other direction”) I am often surrounded by people who are very smart and say convincing-sounding things all the time. The ideas mentioned above have helped me better recognise when I'm confused and when a smooth-sounding argument doesn't match up with how I think the world actually works. Against rationalisation has things that are useful to remember: Knowing about biases can hurt people. Exposing subjects to an apparently balanced set of pro and con arguments will exaggerate their initial polarisation. Politically knowledgeable subjects, because they possess greater ammunition with which to counter-argue incongruent facts and arguments, will be more prone to some biases. Not to avoid your belief's real weak points. “Ask yourself what smart people...

Matt joins legendary West Virginia radio host Howard Monroe to examine why Sinema bolted, why Trump despite being such a disaster is still politically viable, and why Herschel Walker came so darn close in Georgia.

Over the past month, the nation and world has been rocked by Elon Musk's purchase of the social media platform, Twitter. Upon entering the doors of Twitter Headquarters, Musk has gone right to work by: -Firing Woke and Politically oriented workers -Restoring previously banned accounts via amnesty -Restoring the account of Donald J. Trump -Relaxing restrictions on discussions regarding Covid And in the latest news, Musk has revealed the interaction between Twitter employees, members of the Democratic Party and the FBI. What could go wrong? In this cautionary podcast, Michael O'Fallon reminds us of the history of China, the Hundred Flowers Campaign and the strange similarities between Musk's Twitter saga and the Maoist program that ended with the capture of nearly all political dissidents in Communist China. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe/ © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

Tammer Abiyu shares his recent experience visiting the Rwanda Genocide Memorial in Kigali and summarizes the history of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.  He opens up about the impact of visiting a mass grave of 250,000 victims and reflects on how little he learned about the Rwandan Genocide while growing up in the U.S..  Tammer then explains the historical and political context for the recent campaign of ethnic cleansing that has been going on in the Tigray region of Ethiopia since 2020.  He reflects on the lack of American media coverage of Tigray and compares that to the extensive media coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.   Tammer also shares his thoughts on the recent Tigray peace agreement that was signed in Nairobi in November 2022.  He then takes us on the journey of how and why he developed his political consciousness.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:  Disney CEO Bob Iger expressed interest in quieting things down politically. While appearing on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said that Disney's fight with Florida's legislature was initiated by Disney. According to The Daily Wire, “[s]earch results of current widespread protests opposing oppressive COVID lockdown measures in major cities across China were drowned out last weekend by Chinese bots advertising pornography, escort services, and gambling.” Has anyone else noticed that almost all of the 2022 Christmas commercials feature a deceased family member? Why is corporate America bumming us out during the holidays? The Washington Post's Emily Heil wrote a new opinion editorial critical of Elon Musk and the “hardcore cult” of Diet Coke drinkers. While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CNN host Don Lemon declared that his television station has never expressed a preference for progressive ideology over any other. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) implored President Joe Biden to vociferously support anti-lockdown protests in China—even suggesting the administration remove China's permanent “most-favored-nation” status in response to its unconcealed totalitarianism. Bloomberg journalist Bobby Ghosh warned that Iranian soccer players who refused to sing their nation's national anthem at the 2022 World Cup could potentially be in danger when they return home. According to Ghosh, their families have already been threatened by Ali Khamenei's authoritarian government. 

The U.S. faces Iran today in a World Cup match that has political implications that go far beyond the game itself. CNN has the story. USA Today reports on the Supreme Court’s first major immigration case of the term, in a case that could test the limits of Biden’s executive power. The number of Americans attending college is about to crash. Vox explains how that will change higher education forever. Shirley Wheeler had an illegal abortion in 1970 — and was charged with manslaughter. In Conversation explores how Wheeler’s case is a warning of what’s to come after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Ahead of Thanksgiving, Joe reflects upon Nancy Pelosi's tenure as the leader of the Democratic Party, giving thanks that she was there when Donald Trump was president while previewing what could come next.

There's a lot to disagree about right now. Politically, theologically, philosophically... or even about what's being served for Thanksgiving Dinner. How can we disagree... like a Christian?

Dieter Reinisch is a Government of Ireland Irish Research Council Fellow in the School of Political Science and Sociology, University of Galway, and an Adjunct Professor in International Relations at Webster University, Campus Vienna. He holds a PhD in History from the European University Institute in Florence). Since 2016, he serves on the editorial board of the academic, open-access journal Studi irlandesi: A Journal of Irish Studies, published by Florence University Press. In addition to his new book on republican prisoners in Ireland, he is the co-editor (with Luisa Passerini) of Performing Memory: Corporeality, Visuality, and Mobility after 1968 published with Berghahn Books, and Irish Republican Counterpublic: Armed Struggle & the Construction of a Radical Nationalist Community in Northern Ireland, co-edited with Anne Kane and published with Routledge. In this interview, he discusses his new book, Learning Behind Bars: How IRA Prisoners Shaped the Peace Process in Ireland (University of Toronto Press, 2022), which uncovers the everyday life and education of IRA prisoners during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Learning behind Bars is an oral history of former Irish republican prisoners in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland between 1971, the year internment was introduced, and 2000, when the high-security Long Kesh Detention Centre/HM Prison Maze closed. Dieter Reinisch outlines the role of politically motivated prisoners in ending armed conflicts as well as the personal and political development of these radical activists during their imprisonment. Based on extensive life-story interviews with Irish Republican Army (IRA) ex-prisoners, the book examines how political prisoners developed their intellectual positions through the interplay of political education and resistance. It sheds light on how prisoners used this experience to initiate the debates that eventually led to acceptance of the peace process in Northern Ireland. Politically relevant and instructive, Learning behind Bars illuminates the value of education, politics, and resistance in the harshest of social environments. Learning Behind Bars: How IRA Prisoners Shaped the Peace Process in Ireland is published with University of Toronto Press.

What are the two topics you aren't supposed to discuss at family gatherings? Most of us would immediately guess religion and politics, and some of us may intentionally stay away from these topics in public. But what if we could step into the political sphere in a way that honors God? In this episode, Dr. Patrick Schreiner makes a compelling case for why we should consider engaging in politics as believers. Shelby and Krystal chat with Dr. Schreiner about how the gospel changes the way we view politics and offers practical tips on engaging in politics in a way that honors Christ as King.  The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show.

Grace discusses the tragic flaw of the Democrats: making every policy hyper-personal. It's a religion to them that can't be veered from. And now, they can't pivot after the midterms like Bill Clinton did in '96. Plus, Grace plays her interview with Senate candidate Adam Laxalt for listeners in Reno, Nevada. Happy Election Eve!

Fetal development is no conspiracy of men to control women. Politically convenient talking points cannot deny the reality and truth of humanity in the womb.
