George H.W. Bush, 41st US President, dies at 94
Written by Jon Cazares
Late Friday on Nov, 30th, President George W. Bush (43) announced that his father had passed away at the age of 94. The Bush Presidential Center delivered this tweet: “Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years our dear dad has died. George H. W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for dad, and for the condolences of our… Written on 12/01/2018 @ 7:16pm in U.S. -
Timberwolves' Thibodeau Really Did Get the Best Deal for Jimmy Butler
Written by Anthony Varriano
Back in April I called for Minnesota Timberwolves head coach and president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau to step down as head coach--but not necessarily as president. The Jimmy Butler trade provides additional evidence of his ability as a team-builder, and his inbounds “plays” provide additional evidence of his inability to coach offense. Thibodeau Spits in the Face of Evolution, Again Good coaches get their guys good looks on inbounds plays and before the end of quarters. Thibs doesn't; he is not a schemer. That's why he needed Teague instead of Rubio. He wouldn't know what to do on offense… Written on 11/30/2018 @ 9:11pm in SportsMinnesota Timberwolves rookie Josh Okogie dunks over two San Antonio Spurs during garbage time of a 39-point Minnesota win at Target Center on Nov. 28, 2018.

First Alaskan earthquake since 1964, hits Anchorage
Written by Jon Cazares
This morning, a 7.0 earthquake hit Alaska. I haven’t seen any reports of serious injuries or fatalities but it sounds like Anchorage and the surrounding communities got pummeled with some major infrastructure damage, some TV stations going off air and the airport temporarily shutting down. Alaska hasn’t had an earthquake since that awful M9.2 quake / tsunami hit the Prince William Sound region back in 1964. Which is exactly why a tsunami warning was issued this time in case aftershocks were powerful enough to form a tidal wave. Thankfully, while there were several aftershocks reported, none of them produced the… Written on 11/30/2018 @ 8:42pm in U.S. -
Nancy Pelosi wins (and she probably will in January, too)
Written by Jon Cazares
House Minority Whip, Nancy Pelosi, was easily nominated by House Democrats in a 203-32 vote to secure her potential return as speaker. That 85% margin is actually much higher than her last time around the block when she won the nomination by a 68% vote facing challenger Rep. Tim Ryan (Ohio). But that’s what happens when you run unopposed, as she did this time. Pelosi’s win is not unexpected despite the few dozen “Never Nancy” freshmen incoming congressmen. A few behind closed doors deals here and there and suddenly, most of those Never Nancy folks have changed their minds. All… Written on 11/28/2018 @ 9:35pm in Politics -
Jason Lewis Mostly Wrong to Blame John McCain for Costing Republicans the House
Written by Anthony Varriano
Jason Lewis is the outgoing, Minnesota Congressman who on Veterans Day blamed a recently deceased prisoner of war for costing him reelection and Republicans the House majority in the 2018 Midterm Elections. In his defense, Lewis had no control over the publication date of his op-ed after he submitted it to The Wall Street Journal. Lewis did, however, blame the late Republican Arizona Senator and Vietnam POW John McCain for his election loss and the losses of his fellow House Republicans. It just happened to be published on Veterans Day, which has been the focus of just about everyone on… Written on 11/26/2018 @ 11:50pm in PoliticsArizona Republican Senator votes "no" on the American Health Care Act, Republicans' "skinny" attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

Gene's Technology Corner: Weekend radio update and musings about Apple products that may be too sophistacated for their own good
Written by Gene Steinberg
For the very first time in 19 years, I’ve been on hiatus for a while, with only occasional update to this site. I’ve also been going through a painful period of financial instability, which has certainly put a damper on my creative process. At the same time, the rush of news from Apple hasn’t been nearly as frequent or interesting as it used to be, and repeating the old tropes about tech pundits attacking the company for the usual bogus reasons has become boring. In this week’s main column, below, I also wonder for the first time about Apple at… Written on 11/23/2018 @ 7:05pm in Technology -
The forerunners of the American Revolution: The Black Robed Regiment
Written by Bradlee DeanI remember when I first got into ministry, I was approached and asked to attend a youth group to give my testimony, and of course, I obliged. I also remember after giving my testimony that week that I began to hear over and over again by the youth pastor as to what they were going to do in reaching the up and coming generation. Yet, week after week it was the same thing, just sensationalized preaching with little to no action outside of the church building (1 John 3:18). It then dragged month after month, at which point, I had…Written on 11/23/2018 @ 6:53pm in Opinion

Are millennials avoiding the primary care doctor?
Written by Dr. Daliah Wachs
A recent analysis from Kaiser Family Foundation found the average younger American does not have a primary care provider (PCP). Looking at survey answers from 1200 participants, 45% of 18 – 29 year-olds admitted to not having a PCP. 28% of those aged 30-49 and 18% of those aged 50-64 said the same. Those over age 65 were the largest group to have a primary care provider. Those born between 1981-1996, known as the Millennials, may have different attitudes towards health care. Keep in mind, they just lived through nearly a decade of recession, computer hacks, Obamacare controversies, and societal… Written on 11/20/2018 @ 7:29pm in News & Information
