While "parousiatic atheism" is not a standard, mainstream term in academic philosophy or theology, its meaning can be clearly deduced by combining its two root concepts: Parousia (the theological concept of the ultimate divine presence or the Second Coming of Christ) and atheism (the absence of belief in a deity).

When synthesized, the term generally describes an ideological or philosophical stance that addresses eschatological fulfillment, ultimate history, or divine arrival from a completely secular or non-theistic framework.

Do the First Amendment protections of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly mean that a group of people can assemble in your living room without your permission and speak their mind ? I don't know of anyone-no matter what his political persuasion-who would affirm such a thing.

But what about assembling and speaking in "public accommodations"; that is, facilities that are open to the general public and offer goods and/or services for sale ? Opinions differ, and are usually based on the content of what is spoken.

J.D. Vance is approaching the halfway point of his term as vice president in an administration that has committed the United States to wars in locations from Ukraine to Venezuela to Somalia to Iran and beyond. All the while, the administration has threatened sending the military into other places across the world including Mexico, Greenland, and Cuba.

Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), recently warned about the danger from the United States government's high debt level. She also criticized some government officials, such as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, for believing that economic growth can make the debt problem disappear.

The idea that tax cuts, deregulation, and a slightly less destructive monetary policy can produce enough economic growth to eliminate deficits has been an article of faith among many conservative economists and Republican politicians since the late seventies.

One of the greatest problems in medicine today is that everything has become so rushed there is rarely time for a doctor to truly get to know their patients, and as a result, much of what matters most gets lost. Because of this, when I started this newsletter, I hoped to correspond with everyone who reached out to me, but as this publication has grown, that has no longer been possible.

Fannie Mae has sharply raised its mortgage rate forecast for 2027, and the revision should put an end to the fantasy that Americans can simply wait another year for cheap money to return. Economists now expect the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate to reach 7.4% during the fourth quarter of 2026 and remain around 7.5% throughout 2027. Only recently, Fannie Mae was forecasting 6.8% for the end of this year and 6.7% for next year.

Saudi Arabia went looking for allies against Ansar Allah, and so far it has gotten statements of support. Egypt has declared its readiness to back the Kingdom, but its statement does not commit to any military involvement. Pakistan and Turkey have pledged troops under the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement signed in August, but both governments say their forces will play "a supportive rather than active combat role" against the Houthis.

When most people think of dystopian visions of the future, they think of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four or Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Both excellent choices. Some readers have other volumes they would propose instead. But for myself there are two outstanding books that each singularly stand out alone: Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, and Jean Raspail'sThe Camp of the Saints.

For years, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. championed families whose children were injured by the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. He challenged federal health agencies and Big Pharma, popularized censored research, and co-authored a book exposing severe risks of childhood vaccines.

Now, as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Kennedy is urging parents to administer the very vaccine he once warned against, while attributing the measles outbreak to disruptions in childhood vaccination during the Covid pandemic.
