TODAY'S PROVERBS FROM THE LIVING BIBLE

"A good man thinks before he speaks; the evil man pour out his evil words without a thought." (15:28)

"Humility & reverence for the Lord will make you both wise & honored." (15:33)

MASKS

"Finally, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on May 21, 2020, concluded: "We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic."

"Contrary to mainstream media misinformation, the doctors who wrote that report did not later retract anything they wrote. People say they "follow the science." They rarely do. They follow the scientists the media tell them to follow." Dennis Prager, Townhall, 4/6

POLITICAL POTPOURRI

GEORGIA

"Ignore the partisan disinformation. Georgia remains a national leader in voting access and election security." Brad Raffensperger, National Review Online

LIMIT VOTERS?

"Much of the discussion about proposed changes to voting laws backed by many Republicans and generally opposed by Democrats begs the question and simply asserts that having more people vote is, ceteris paribus, a good thing. Why should we believe that? Why shouldn’t we believe the opposite? That the republic would be better served by having fewer — but better — voters?" Kevin Williamson, NRO

MINIMUM WAGE

"These days, as the “Fight for $15” rages on, I wonder how many young people will be robbed of that kind of experience if we price them out of entry-level jobs. Unfortunately, many such jobs don’t add $15 an hour to an employer’s revenue stream, so they’ll simply go away. According to the average estimate of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, a $15 minimum wage will mean 1.4 million fewer jobs in 2025." Stephen Walter, NRO

GUN CONTROL

"The only result of outlawing any particular category of firearms because of their appearance (such as the AR-15 rifle, the most popular sporting rifle in the country) would be to push these killers to use pistols instead, which have proven to be just as deadly. 

"Democrats know all of these things, but simply do not care because their real goal is to take as many guns out of as many hands as possible, including, of course, those of law-abiding parents, spouses, business owners and others who depend on being able to arm themselves to protect themselves, their families, and their businesses. Such persistence is not just dumb, it is dangerous." Bob Barr, Townhall

POLITICAL DEBATE

"The left has politicized everything. The right has avoided that tactic, because it's ugly and divisive. But it's too late to put the genie back in the bottle. It's time for mutually assured destruction. There's only one thing worse than having nuclear weapons: unilateral disarmament. Better to establish mutually assured destruction now and put corporate America on notice that, by stepping into the middle of fraught political debate, it risks just as much blowback from the right as from the left." Ben Shapiro, Ditto
