American Barabbas
Depicted in the four Gospels—Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19—are scenes of Jesus’ trial before Pilate. In all these depictions, the crowd yells for the insurrectionist Barabbas to be freed and for Jesus to be killed.
There is no exact parallel in contemporary American politics. Jesus was not a candidate for public office. But a certified crowd did vote an insurrectionist into the presidency, a man whose consistent mantras are never to apologize, never show weakness, never admit wrongdoing, and never confess to any sins.
Approximately 80% of white evange...

Wisconsin Forests at Risk
“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues. Dr. Seuss in the children's book “The Lorax”
Wisconsin Green Fire recently published a report that speaks for trees and all the other organisms in Wisconsin's forests. “Wisconsin Forests at Risk: Engaging Wisconsinites in Another Century of Forest Conservation” is a warning about the declining health of forests across the state. They say, “Wisconsin’s forests have long enriched our state’s economy and quality of life. Yet, just when we need healthy, diverse, and ...
CODEPINK
In the past week, we have seen the US propaganda machine completely expose itself. In protest of the incoming TikTok ban, Americans have been flooding the Chinese social media app RedNote. Through interacting with Chinese citizens, new RedNote users have learned that the US government has been completely lying about China!
Labeled “TikTok refugees” by Chinese netizens, local users have embraced the newcomers with open arms and a lot of humor. Not only that, but this cross-cultural moment has opened a vacuum for people-to-people interactions, allowing Chinese citizens ...
California Fires
Misinformation about Los Angeles County’s devastating fires is spreading as wildly as wind-
driven embers.
Fact is, these catastrophic fires driven and grown by up to 100-mile-per-hour winds are powerful
examples of how extreme weather and climate change due to global warming affect our
communities.
Climate change is whiplashing coastal southern California between flooding rainfall and
extended drought, raising temperatures, and shifting seasons—all together, increasing risks for
more frequent wildfires made bigger by high winds. Wet weather produces ...
A Democratic Formula for Success
January 13, 2025 Jim Crist Wisconsin
On the 15th Anniversary of Citizens United we need Bernie Sanders type candidates that are moderate — by Jim Crist, Wisconsin United To Amend
I’ve read a lot of articles about why the Democratic Party lost the election. The list is long and varied:
Biden did a poor job controlling the southern border and got saddled with the post pandemic inflation problem.
Biden said he’d be a one term president. His selfish arrogance led him to believe he was only person that could defeat Trump. He robbed his party of ...
MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Reflecting on the recent passing of former President Jimmy Carter, I remember as a teenager standing in awe along a fence line of what is now I-39, watching the Presidential motorcade go by.
I am reminded of the many great things our former president did. Such a sad contrast to what we are stepping into today. Yes, let us make America great again. Let us take America to a time of truth and honesty.
Carter himself was an Evangelical Christian, which is not to be confused with the Christian nationalism we see today. Jimmy Carter worked as a true leader, knowing that ...

The Age of Plastics
“Welcome to the Plasticene. If you’re under age 70, it’s possible you’ve lived in the Plasticene for your entire life. It’s a new geologic age some scientists have proposed to mark the near-universal spread of plastic around Earth. Since the 1950s, researchers say, we’ve been living in the Age of Plastics.” Kristen Minogue, Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.
Geologists have divided the 4.5 billion years of earth's history into a geologic time scale. These divisions, or “geochronologic units,” include eons, eras, periods, epochs and ages. We ...
