Oh, puhleese: Time is now fear mongering that our top stem cell scientists will flee to Singapore to do stem cell research because of the President’s veto. Wait a minute! I thought they were all going to be coming to California to get a piece of the $3 billion we will be handing out in my state over the next ten years. That’s sure what we were told when asked to vote for Proposition 71. And don’t forget, there are several other states tripping over each other to throw money at embryonic stem cell research.
What a joke. These guys in the MSM will print just about any press release that Big Biotech throws their way.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
