Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

Is This Why Other Nations Laugh at America?

"...for the majority of the 343,000 personnel in the U.S. Navy, the mission is mostly one of readiness and deterrence, but rarely if ever of actual combat. This reality is apparently contributing to the challenge of recruiting new personnel, because as anyone who has read naval history knows, even during war, much of shipboard life is matter of dull routine. How to entice young men to serve on ships on which young women are a tiny minority—that is, places of confinement, isolation, restricted in almost every conceivable way?

For the last two hundred years, the Roman Catholic Church has faced a similar challenge in its effort to recruit priests and monks. As an ex Catholic priest once told me, one approach was to recruit gay boys from poor regions of the world who, because they are naturally attracted to men, did not perceive monastic life to be an onerous deprivation.

The U.S. Navy seems to have taken a leaf from the same playbook with its new "digital ambassador,” 24-year-old sailor Joshua Kelly, who is also a drag queen."

No 'black box' warning for Covid mRNA vaccines?

The FDA has rejected its strongest safety warning for Covid mRNA vaccines despite acknowledging that children were killed by the products.

This news surfaced during a televised Bloomberg interview with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who said the agency has “no plans” to apply its strongest safety warning to Covid mRNA vaccines.

In that interview, Makary confirmed that the FDA’s own safety and epidemiology centre had formally recommended a boxed warning — a step reserved, under FDA rules, for drugs with “special problems, particularly ones that may lead to death or serious injury.”
