Dr. Brian Joondeph explains that as life has recently been returning to normal, after the dystopian reaction to COVID, it feels like Groundhog Day with an eerie sense of déjà vu, especially around masking. Joondeph delves into a range of timely topics in his recent writings. One article explores the return of mask mandates and highlights what seems to elude the institutions endorsing such measures, namely the persistence of mask mandates in certain regions, despite the established ineffectiveness of masks in disease control. In another piece, he addresses the perception that former President Trump is unfairly used as a scapegoat by those harboring grievances against the Republican party. Furthermore, Joondeph delves into the complex Israel/Palestine conflict and sheds light on the removal of McCarthy from his role in the House, offering insights into these significant developments.

Author Scott Powell on Columbus Day
Scott Powell, author of Rediscovering America, discusses Columbus and Columbus Day. Christopher Columbus’ achievements owe much to his audacious personality. He held a firm belief that God had summoned him to discover a trade route to the East, enduring ridicule for his unwavering commitment to this calling. Although Columbus has garnered a negative reputation due to allegations of committing numerous atrocities against indigenous populations, some, like Powell, argue that these accusations stem from a misinterpretation of his “Spanish machismo.” According to this perspective, his actions may have been driven by self-defense or perceived justification, as a response to prior atrocities committed by his victims.
