Such an odd time. At precisely the moment we learn definitively that the premise of the biggest hysteria of Trump I was false, some of the same people who stoked it are hard at work spinning up a new hysteria for Trump II.
I spoke with @VickiMcKenna about safety/ethical problems that have arisen with the organ donation system. Important to fix! iheart.com/podcast/426-th…
If the law forces oncologists to commit assisted suicide, that will lead to a devastating brain drain of oncologists retiring. Concomitantly, destroying conscience will inhibit talented people with particular moral beliefs from entering medical schools. nationalreview.com/corner/attacks…
“Medical conscience” rights inhibit the increasing hegemony of utilitarian medical values. As a result, once life-taking or mutilating procedures become legal, efforts soon begin to conscript unwilling medical professionals into performing them nationalreview.com/corner/attacks…
My latest: Do you see the goal? The plan is to kick pro-life and/or Hippocratic Oath-believing medical professionals out of medicine and deprofessionalize the sector, turning doctors into so many technocratic order takers. nationalreview.com/corner/attacks…
As a psychiatrist, I've talked to dozens--if not hundreds--of people who attempted suicide and later regretted it. Or who thought about it at a low point in their life but didn't have the energy/motivation to do it--and were gloriously happy to be alive later. The nature of…
I almost died by suicide fifteen years ago while battling depression. If the expansion of MAID coming into force in 2027 were in place then, I'd likely be dead right now. Today, I'm launching the #IGotBetter campaign to keep hope alive for people living with mental illness.
The myth matters because a toxic lie being advanced in our culture denies the exceptional status of human beings in nature. Many evils follow from that denial. evolutionnews.org/2025/07/as-lus… via @discoverycsc @theWesleyJSmith

#BREAKING: President Trump will sign an executive order that will start to defund and dismantle the failed Housing First policy that has led to record homelessness in America, especially in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, and LA. I’m proud to say our research and…
NEW: Earlier this month, the Trump administration released its Discretionary Budget and it significantly knee-caps America's failed Housing First approach to homelessness. Which is why the "homeless industrial complex" is so scared and desperately trying to fight back.🧵👇
Russiagate There is no question that the first two years of Trump 45 were disrupted on the basis of a completely phony investigation of Trump, his associates and family. The allegations were fake and based upon Clinton oppo research anyone could see was complete junk. There is…

The push for organs has apparently grown so intense that corners may be being cut, endangering still-living patients and treating them as so many organ farms. nationalreview.com/corner/organ-p…
My latest: I worry that there is a temptation to treat organ donor patients — who are subjects as long as they are alive — as objects once they are seen as dying, toward the perceived greater good of saving the lives of people who need organs. nationalreview.com/corner/organ-p…
Washington State foregoes reporting annual assisted suicide statistics. @theWesleyJSmith writes about how this is no surprise. humanize.today/2025/07/washin…
...In the end, it does not matter that the story may be false. After all, you can get a Pulitzer prize for a debunked story of Russian collusion funded by a political campaign. It fits the preferred narrative of many in the media.
This makes my brain hurt. This is also why few trust my profession & that the last chapter of Butler is so important a.co/d/eL90blb
