I am saddened to learn of the death of Alfie Evans, whose illness and captivity in the UK drew the prayers and sympathy of millions across the civilized world.

Before the NHS removed Alfie’s life support over his parents’ wishes—and the wishes of other nations, the Pope, and people around the world—his doctors estimated he would survive for three minutes. He lived for five days, despite his doctors’ ardent refusals to provide oxygen, food, or water to him.

Despite underestimating Alfie by more than a factor of a thousand, the NHS saw fit to play God. The NHS refused to permit Italy to treat him at no cost. The NHS refused to release Alfie to die at home. The NHS even expelled the priest ministering to Alfie. The NHS and UK courts refused to release Alfie to the custody of his parents, claiming that it was in Alfie’s best interests to die. Alfie’s tragic situation, reflecting that of Charlie Gard last year, is becoming an all-too predictable consequence of socialized medicine, and the arrogance, imperiousness, and low regard for human life displayed by the bureaucrats who administer it.

My prayers are with the Evans family in this trying time, and all those in the UK who seek a better way of life. Our British cousins deserve better. Alfie deserved better. #AlfieEvans #AlfiesArmy

Just another case of misguided superiors having their way over human life and causing more pain than was necessary. If there is a possible chance to have medical treatment that prolongs your life even if its only for a few minutes, and the patient or its guardian desire to try, no one has the right to refuse GOD creation from trying. Otherwise, those superiors committed murder in my opinion.

Ted Cruz if you care about human lives, how about stopping the bombing of other countries around the world? Start to use 'your words' not bombs to settle differences.
How sad you feel about a toddler without a functioning brain, yet how sad do you feel about our soldiers coming home with Traumatic Brain Disorders, missing arms or legs, or dead?
You are a US Senator whose job it is to declare war but handed that off to the president. It's time to take responsibility here in our country not criticize decisions made by doctors doing their job in another country. That is, if you truly care about lives.

Its pretty damn disgusting that you are pathetically using the death of a baby to further your hypocritical agenda.

Socialized medicine did not kill this baby. Alfie had a degenerative neurological condition, from which he would never recover, and was in a coma for a year. A YEAR. The hospital did not just take him off of life support, a court order based on the opinion of an entire medical team of highly qualified professionals did. It would not have mattered what type of healthcare system they used, the court made the final decision.

And don't think your constituents missed the irony in this recent tactic of yours. For you and your ilk, women are incapable of making decisions over their own bodies and you want the government to step in. But when the government steps in to stop the cruel suffering of an infant that will only continue to escalate with no possibility of recovery, suddenly the government is over-reaching.

The United States has the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world, and yet your focus is on ONE child in another country in a very complex situation. You’re using this poor child and his grieving parents as a pawn against national healthcare, which has nothing to do with this situation, because you’re owned by the businesses that profit from the appalling state of our own healthcare system. This was not about the NHS; it was about CHILD WELFARE, and the government and healthcare professionals disagreeing with the parents about what was best for this child. That happens in America as well, when parents want to use prayer instead of conventional medicine as one example. Don’t pretend this can’t happen here. The only difference is that here, the parents would be grieving AND bankrupt. This is a despicable misuse of a situation.

REPOSTED IN SHAREABLE FORM

UKIP MEP Steven Woolfe’s statement regarding an “Alfie’s Law” is getting a lot of publicity at the moment. However the path that he is proposing essentially means that he believes that a child is the property of its parents rather than being an individual with rights which parents have non-negotiable responsibilities towards upholding. Parents do not own their children and ultimately their emotional needs are secondary to the best interests of a child. The well-being of a child is paramount always.

Why is this distinction important? It is important because if the former were the case, a parent would be free to make whatever decisions they wanted about their children regardless of the potential impact on their wellbeing. So, for example, parents could choose not to send them to school, to abuse them, to send them off down the pits aged 14, marry them off etc. without being challenged.

The law as it stands exists to ensure that children remain safe as enshrined in the UN convention on the rights of the child and U.K. law.

Mr Woolfe has also conflated a lot of other cases from the past where there has been disagreement between parents and doctors, of which he clearly has at best tangential knowledge and certainly very little clinical insight, to try to support his argument by suggesting that clinical staff (and lawyers) are acting as dictatorial tyrants against the common man and primarily pursuing their own interests against those of the parents. What he has ignored is that these decisions are not taken spontaneously or unilaterally but are evidence-based, very carefully considered and are taken in the best interests of the child not the professionals. He also suggests that parents have no representation or advocates which is also untrue and has failed to mention that in the vast majority of cases such as Alfie’s joint collaborative decision making is successful with full parental involvement. He has, in effect, indirectly endorsed the view that the medical teams and lawyers involved are “conspirators” and murderers” that has led to the grotesque scenes outside Alder Hey this week.

He also has ignored the fact that many other opinions have been sought over Alfie and nobody, not even Bambino Gesu hospital, disagrees with the long term outlook being grim with no chance of a cure or improvement in Alfie’s underlying condition.

I have been accused myself of being opportunistic and taking advantage of the situation for my own self-promotion by writing about it. My agenda is simply to try to give some balance and perspective to the debate. This, however, in my opinion is a shameful piece of political opportunism, using the situation to propagate the right-wing libertarian narrative of the establishment versus the people. This has nothing to do with the state wielding its axe at all but everything to do with complex medical ethics, interpretation of the law and the fact that situations such as Alfie’s are clouded in shades of grey that can’t be distilled into simple binary black/white, in/out, yes/no decisions. There is no cover-up, no conspiracy and no other agenda than doing what is best for Alfie.

I have no doubt I will be flamed for expressing this view and be accused of being part of the “cover-up” but this needs to be said.

Very well put Senator Cruz. Our government needs to deal with the skyrocketing costs of medical care. The pharmaceutical industry has been allowed to run on greed. Instead of trying to come up with some magical insurance plan capping costs is where congress should put their efforts. Other countries sell the same drugs for a fraction of the price and control what doctors and other health care providers can charge. A doctor walks in to a patients hospital room says, how are you today, walks out and charges $250. That is simply insane. Control the costs and the price of insurance will go down. Do not subsidise insurance companies just cap the costs.

Reminder of what Khrushchev said 60 years ago...."Your children's children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but, we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you. We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not" It was September 29, 1959, when Nikita Khrushchev delivered his prediction for America at the United Nations. Remember the television coverage of him banging his shoe on the podium? At that time, just the word "communism" was feared throughout our nation. Remember this. Socialism leads to Communism How do you create a Socialist State? There are eight levels of control:
1) Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty - Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.
3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government . That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare - Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.
6) Education - Take control of what people read, listen to and take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best for the people.
8)Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the rich with the support of the poor.

Last week, the Bullock Texas State History Museum cancelled a book event three and a half hours before it was supposed to start. Written by journalists Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, and Jason Stanford, the book is titled “Forget the Alamo,” and, according to historian H. W. Brands, who reviewed the book for the Washington Post, it both introduces the story of the Alamo to readers unfamiliar with it and explains how the story has been interpreted since the 1836 battle occurred, using the ways in which British musicians Phil Collins and Ozzy Osbourne interacted with the site as a new lens.

Historians long ago put aside the heroic story of the Alamo, which told of freedom-loving Americans fighting off a Mexican tyrant who was trying to crush a fledgling republic. In the past several decades, so many historians have rewritten this history that Brands notes that the new retelling “sometimes appear[s] to be beating a horse that, if not dead, was put to pasture awhile back.”

Historians have explained how Mexican officials, eager to stabilize their northern borderlands after their own agreements with Apache tribes fell apart, permitted Americans to settle in what is now Texas. Americans moved to the area to grow cotton in the boom years of that era. When Mexico banned slavery in Texas in 1830, Americans rebelled. In October 1835, they joined with Mexican opponents of President Antonio López de Santa Anna’s government and went to war. By December, the Texian Army had pushed Mexican troops out of the Mexican territory of Texas, and the Texians hunkered down in the Alamo Mission near what is now San Antonio. In January, reinforcements, including James Bowie and Davy Crockett, arrived. About 200 Texians were there on February 23, 1836, when 1800 of Santa Anna’s troops laid siege to the Alamo. On March 6, Santa Anna’s troops attacked, killing almost all of the defenders (but not Davy Crockett, who surrendered and was executed later).

This history is well established… but Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick—who in March 2020 suggested that elders should be willing to die from Covid-19 in order to get the economy moving again—was one of apparently a number of Republican leaders who demanded that museum officials cancel the event. Governor Greg Abbott, Patrick and other Republican leaders are board members of the State Preservation Board, which oversees the Bullock Museum. “As a member of the Preservation Board, I told staff to cancel this event as soon as I found out about it,” Patrick tweeted. “[T]his fact-free rewriting of TX history has no place [at the Bullock Museum].”

As of the end of June, nine states have passed so-called “divisive concepts” laws, and 17 more are considering them. These measures try to control how teachers talk about issues of race, sex, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin, saying that such discussions are divisive. Yet, as historians James Grossman and Jeremy Young of the American Historical Association noted yesterday in The Hill, a survey by the American Historical Association and Fairleigh Dickinson University shows that, “regardless of political identity, age, race, gender or education level,” there is broad consensus that these issues provide essential content to understand our history and that they are appropriate for school history classes.

“We should be clear about what’s happening here,” Young and Grossman say. “This is the legislative equivalent of push-polling—creating division where none exists, raising fears about something that isn’t even happening to score political points.”

They point out that the bills are not coming from people in school districts, but instead follow a template produced by an organization led by Russell Vought, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget under the Trump administration. The organization’s website has a file on it titled: “Model-School-Board-Language-to-Ban-CRT-SD-HCS-edits-1.”

Here’s why this rewriting of our history matters.

Historians study how societies change. In order to do that, we examine sources created at the time—newspapers, teapots, speeches, tweets, photographs, landscapes, and so on-—and judge what we think happened by comparing these primary sources to things other historians have said, on the basis of evidence they have found. We argue a lot. But if we cannot see an ever-widening story, we cannot give an accurate account of how societies change.

An inaccurate picture of what creates change means that people cannot make good decisions about the future. They are at the mercy of those who are creating the stories. Knowledge is indeed power.

So the destruction of accurate history is about more than schools. It’s about self-determination. It’s about having the freedom to make good decisions about your life.

It’s about the very things that democracy is supposed to stand for.

This crisis have being going on for generations and has always been exacerbated under a party that refuses to govern by addressing the root cause of the problem and blaming the opposition for the problem but the Republican party refuses to act certain members of that party need to step aside to let someone else a chance to act not necessarily a Democrat just someone that is willing to address the problem. !

Great piece by Scott Walker on the radical Marxist ideology radicals are trying to spread throughout our country through #CriticalRaceTheory.

We’re only one generation away from losing America

Who is proud to be an American? I am. The good news is that an overwhelming majority of adults (68%) are very or extremely proud to be an American. The bad news is the only group that is not proud are young people. Only 36% of those aged 18 to 24 said that they were extremely or very proud.

Y’all are too afraid to come to terms that America was founded for the benefit of the white man first and foremost before any other race or ethnicity and only through civil war, civil rights protests and demonstrations (not foreign wars) do we have the diversity of America we have today. Marginalized people have always, ALWAYS been fighting for their rights but half of y’all don’t even know your own country’s history and have to have a naturalized immigrant like me to spell it out for you.

I know you're aware, but I wonder how many of your constituents realize the Washington Times is owned by a subsidiary of the Unification Church, which some may remember being called "Moonies," after their founder, Sun Myung Moon?

As a Princeton and Harvard alumnus, you also know that true Critical Race Theory is taught in universities, not our local public schools. It's been turned into a handy catch-phrase to scare people, just like "Godless Communists" during the McCarthy era.

It’s like a zombie movie. You have to find people who aren’t infected with the ideology of hate and division. Anyone even flirting with CRT cannot be trusted. They will turn on you and destroy you, because their brains are already gone.

This is why the zombie movies have such an appeal. We’re watching human nature. People can be infected by an “virus” ideology, mob up, and create vast chaos and destruction for a season.

Ultimately truth will win, but this ideology will leave a great deal of carnage in its wake, as it always, always does.

Actually, this is not "a great piece" by Scott Walker. It's foolish, illogical, and badly written.

The author, Scott Walker, observes that younger people are not as convinced to state their pride in America after some quick results of a poll are mentioned.

His suggested solution is: "That means we have more work to do with young people."

In other words, he says we should focus on changing the minds of the respondents, instead of focusing on any issues that those respondents are reflecting in their answers.

Scott Walker goes on to write (try to look past the bad grammar): "The first battle is fighting for free speech. In most schools and on my campuses, cancel culture is really as conservative voices are blocked. Liberal bias is not enough. Radicals want total control of the message. Things like critical race theory (or, as I call it, state-sanctioned racism), the 1619 Project, and other Marxist curricula teach students to hate America. An objective education means learning about the good and the bad."

So . . . Teach about the good and bad . . . As long as the bad does not include CRT or Marxism . . . Because radicals are trying to control the message (doesn't say how) since their bias isn't enough (doesn't say how) and they are blocking conservative voices (doesn't say how) and it's all about cancel culture, (which has a nebulous definition on the best of days). When did the state sanction racism? Is anybody really teaching CRT or the 1619 Project as if those are the only way forward? Objectively, they are both controversial. Are they really teaching students to hate America? Are the students believing that? Are you really concluding that there is brainwashing so effective that it is skewing the results of this poll?

Free speech is the point unless they are speaking freely about things Scott Walker implies are bad.

According to Scott Walker, liberals are the problem, you know . . . Those people comprising more than half of America who are the targets of his blame.

Is this the pride in America he expects young people to latch on to and believe in their hearts?

The young people of every generation bring a fresh vision to the world. I am proud of the progress my generation made as young people fifty years ago, however naive, pushing the older generation into new thoughts with the anti-war movement and sincerity in civil rights matters.

I am more proud of the young people today who understand the concept of racism only because older people describe the racism of the past to them. Then they shake their heads and ask: "Why?"

In free societies, young people are brutally honest, and we old folks should learn from that. Scott Walker wants to work with young people to change their minds about pride in America instead of working on America to make it more worthy of their pride. Instead of branding liberals as problematic, he could be embrace liberals as fellow Americans. The young people would be proud of that. Good advice for you too, Senator Cruz.
