If someone is resuscitated successfully, he or she is not dead. Moreover, making patients brain-dead on purpose seems little different to me than actively killing them. https://t.co/sIQ8Fxj5jo

Please pray for Dovie and his family. And for everyone henceforth vulnerable in the Empire State. https://t.co/s55bGcrEqn

The government should prohibit a relatively new organ procurement procedure called “normothermic regional perfusion, which allows cardiac arrest, cuts off circulation to the brain to induce brain death, and then restarts the heart before procurement. https://t.co/sIQ8Fxj5jo

[Wesley J. Smith @theWesleyJSmith]

My latest: This is important. The people’s trust in organ transplant medicine is already shallow as unwise efforts to loosen ethical standards advocated by prominent bioethicists threaten to further erode public confidence. https://t.co/sIQ8Fxj5jo

@henryolsenEPPC I have long said that if Trump fails, the next step for the country will not be a return to following Establishment leadership but far left populism. Here it comes!

[Bjorn Lomborg @BjornLomborg]

Alarmists: “World on fire!”

Reality: Global burned area likely never lower than 2026

Disasters in France, Spain & Canada are tragic—but climate is global. Cherry-picking isn’t science

Climate policy does near-nothing for fires

We need better fire policy (prescribed burns, let some burn) and better climate info

I thank @drmarcuspeter for the interview and his understanding of why these matters are so important to human thriving and liberty.

[Ave Maria in the Afternoon @AveAfternoon]

There is a growing push to obtain legal personhood for animals like chimpanzees and elephants. And while these cases have failed so far, they seem to be gaining momentum and sympathy within the legal system.

In a few minutes I'll be discussing this column with @drmarcuspeter on Dr. Marcus Peter - Radio Show (Ave Maria in the Afternoon) https://t.co/twZxFxtAMX

The name Civil War strikes deep chords in American memory. The comparatively puny historical consequence of January 6 does not belong in the same discussion. | @theWesleyJSmith

"Good for @SenTedCruz and @SenatorWarnock for trying to fill a leadership void left by a president who seems to care only about the financial and geopolitical consequences of AI and biotechnological dominance."

[Wesley J. Smith @theWesleyJSmith]

Lincoln’s accurate use of the term civil war in what is perhaps the greatest speech in United States history hardly obscured the principles that were at stake nor absolved the slaveocracy from the many evils they had perpetrated. https://t.co/Q9d8CrIG9K

[Wesley J. Smith @theWesleyJSmith]

I don’t quite understand why the @nytimes opinion editors published this particular column at this particular time. I suspect they seek to further the 1619 Project’s odious historical revisionism and to stoke January 6 hysteria. https://t.co/Q9d8CrIG9K

[Wesley J. Smith @theWesleyJSmith]

My latest: The name Civil War does nothing to obscure the evil of slavery. Besides, calling it the Slaveholder’s Rebellion would actually minimize the enormous stakes of the war, making it seem more akin to the historical blip of the Whiskey Rebellion. https://t.co/Q9d8CrIG9K

@HSRdirector You're taking off! Wonderful!

[Wesley J. Smith @theWesleyJSmith]

@l_u_n_a13 Utter selflessness is beyond the reach of all but the holiest people and then, not by their own power. I’m not, for sure.

[Wesley J. Smith @theWesleyJSmith]

That's very hard, which is why it is a virtue possessed by all saints.

[Kristin M. Collier, MD @HSRdirector]

the older I get I realize that the path to human flourishing includes pouring yourself out to others in a radical act of self gift

@VickiMcKenna The "buyers" should be sued and forced to support these children.

[Wesley J. Smith @theWesleyJSmith]

@afterall_net We are witnessing Fahrenheit 451, but it isn't the government burning books, it is us as we read increasingly fewer and tech steals our attention span (guilty!). The start of the decline was labeling comic books "graphic novels."

@baseballcrank @NRO Alec Baldwin! (the likeness is uncanny)
