The caduceus, a traditional symbol for medicine. (Proxima Centauri b Corps via Wikimedia Commons/CC BY-SA 4.0) Commentary
It is not easy to produce a document that is at once unctuous, verbose and ill-written, self-satisfied and self-important, dishonest, sentimental, bullying and sinister, but the American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges, with their recent joint 54-page “ Advancing Health Equity : A Guide to Language, Narrative and Concepts,” has managed it.
The guide is an attempt to change the world by means of changing terminology.
Let us start with the unctuousness that is closely associated with its pervasive dishonesty: “The AAMC and AMA… mourn the loss of life and liberty of millions of others who have historically been oppressed, exploited, excluded, segregated, experimented upon and dehumanized in the U.S. over centuries.”
Here is an attempt at emotional inflation, typical of the moral exhibitionism of our times. By mourn we usually mean the feeling of deep sorrow for the loss of somebody or something whom or that we have personally cherished: but it is impossible to mourn the sufferings of millions of people distant from us geographically, socially, and temporally.
We may regret or reprehend what happened or was done to them, but to claim that we mourn them is to claim what cannot possibly be the case and is clearly an attempt to exhibit our supposedly superior moral sensibility.
The claim also has a bullying quality, for if you do not mourn like we claim to do, you are evidently deficient in feeling and compassion: therefore, the claim is an attempt to bully you into complicity with and repetition of what is essentially a lie. This is what totalitarians do.
Christian-Driven America-First Precious Metals.
Before markets collapse, the smart play is to move wealth or retirement to precious metals. Contact Genesis Gold now to make it happen smoothly with no hassles from a group driven by fellowship.
If it is true, as the great French naturalist, Buffon, said, that style is the man himself, what are we to conclude about the authors from a sentence such as the following which appears early in the document?
“The AAMC and AMA… acknowledge the extraction of brilliance, energy, and life for labor forced upon millions of people of African descent for more than 400 years.”When it comes to the use of language, I agree […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
