Liberal's leading source for news and views
American legislators, governors and school boards are increasingly overriding the professional decision-making of medical doctors, scientists, faculty and librarians. By canceling research in many fields, limiting or prohibiting teaching of bona fide science, censoring select books, and in some cases promoting the teaching of non-science, the U.S. is now entering a new era of Lysenkoism.
When it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs I’ve always been pretty neutral. I’m not an AFC guy.
My team has always been the Philadelphia Eagles from the time I’ve been in second grade even though I grew up right here in Kansas.
Thanks to the miracle of modern broadcasting (or at least it was modern when I was a kid. Now the network system is “legacy.” I am getting old) I was able to watch teams from around the country, and I gave my loyalty and support to the Eagles.
For several weeks, we’ve looked at the teachings of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Last week’s article focused on parables and metaphors. Today, as we consider some of His other methods of teaching, I want to acknowledge Everett F Harrison for his writings on the subject. Most of the scriptures here will come from the Book of Matthew, and I encourage you to look up references for verses that are not printed.
• Proverbs: As in the Old Testament book of the same name, they express a simple truth based on common experience or observation. Examples include, “‘Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also’” (Matthew 6:21); also Matthew 12:33 or Matthew 15:14 or Matthew 7:1.
Recently Farm Bureau members from across the country traveled to Denver for the Fusion Conference, which brings together members from three committees: Young Farmers & Ranchers, Women’s Leadership and Program & Engagement.
Fusion is aptly named because it is an event with a diverse mix of speakers and topics blended together for different ages and participant interests. It is the place where new ideas, perspectives and motivation are formed. These perspectives serve to elevate all of our communities and shared info.
Even though most of the focus on the Senate side during Week 8 of the Legislature was on putting together a budget, the biggest news actually came out of the House’s action on tax cuts. That’s because they’ve been sitting on the constitutional amendment limiting valuation increases passed by the Senate a month ago while working on what they consider more viable alternatives. Two options were approved, one a different constitutional change that would limit appraisals to Fair Market Value (HCR 5011) and the other (HB 2396) a protest petition on local increases if signed by 10 percent of voters, so we’ll see what happens when everything gets put together in a conference committee.
