Stephen Meyer joins @PiersUncensored to debate @Matt_Dillahunty. Meyer says "From the standpoint of my own field, the philosophy of science, the test of a good explanation is one that invokes an entity which has the causal power to produce the effect in question. Materialism or pure matter cannot explain the origin of matter." Watch at the link below.

Are we measuring lives restored? Or just housing placements? A great explanation on the critical difference by Senior Fellow Michele Steeb ⤵️
HOUSED ≠ RESTORED for those struggling with homelessness. Policymakers must stop confusing housing placement with lives restored. Julianna overcame addiction, reunited with her family, became self-sufficient, and achieved homeownership as a single mom in California. 1/2

When you look at the mathematical probabilities that undergird molecular genetics, there are hard limits that random mutation and natural selection cannot overcome. watch biologist @DougAxe interview on @AmThoughtLeader theepochtimes.com/epochtv/a-…

BREAKING: Seattle’s business community is putting City Hall on notice over public safety. CEOs from Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Nordstrom, T-Mobile, Alaska Airlines, Zillow, the Seattle Mariners, Puget Sound Energy and others signed a letter demanding Mayor Katie Wilson and the City Council take action to address public safety They’re calling for CCTV cameras, more police patrols, a 7-minute priority 911 response standard, crackdowns on open-air drug markets, treatment or prosecution for repeat drug offenders, clearing encampments near schools and parks — and a public safety action plan within 100 days with measurable goals and monthly reports. The letter specifically calls out Wilson's abysmal 34% approval numbers

Awesome to see "Superabundance" get attention at @TheFP! Co-author and Senior Fellow @Galepooley writes about observable superabundance regularly at galepooley.substack.com. In a culture that preaches doom, hope based in reality is a breath of fresh air.
Economist @Marian_L_Tupy experienced socialism firsthand during his childhood in Czechoslovakia. He explains that under socialism you don’t just lose your economic freedom; you also lose your political liberty: “When socialists fail to deliver on their promises and people become unhappy and revolt, to keep socialism going the revolt has to be suppressed.” Watch the full interview here: bit.ly/4xwOzne

Big things are happening to address the root causes of homelessness, and we are smack dab in the middle of it! Thanks to @SecretaryTurner, @HUDgov, @POTUS, and the incredible people in our team for advancing policies that will restore people's lives.

History remembers two atomic bombs. It forgot the third core. The Manhattan Project’s “Demon Core” killed two scientists before it was melted down. In OPPENHEIMER’S DEMON, that buried history becomes a nightmare. #DemonCore Pre-order today at link below.

The SAT is racist? When activists claimed that, MOST colleges dumped the tests. That’s bad for students, says @jasonrileywsj. "They're being set up to fail." He was right. Now, more colleges finally admit the tests are useful, and the tests are back! Full update:
