NBCNews.com has a list of twelve technologies that ought to have gone the way of the Dodo by now, but which many Americans are still using. Without question, this is a fascinating list—especially when I consider that my children don’t even know what many of the items are. The full article includes information about each item, including how many of each were sold in the last year. You’ll have to read the full article for the details, but here’s the list:

Must-see video of tornado in Oklahoma
The video above was taken earlier today by some storm chasers in Oklahoma. I have never seen footage like this before. It looks like a scene from the movie “Twister” with large debris flying through the air. Unbelievable. Advisory: There are a couple of moments in which you can hear some salty language from the storm chasers.

Carson, Taylor, and DeYoung issue statement supporting Mahaney
D. A. Carson, Justin Taylor, and Kevin DeYoung have issued a statement supporting their friend C. J. Mahaney. In short, they believe that the offenses alleged in a well-known lawsuit are serious and damning, but they do not believe Mahaney bears culpability. To get the full context, you need to read the entire statement, but here are some excerpts: It needs to be said in no uncertain terms that the actual acts alleged in the lawsuit are utterly evil—an offense against a holy God and an act of hatred against innocent children. They are horrifying and revolting. Apart from repentance, they are damning… Please do not hear us saying that…

The Baptist men, they’re going to get it done tomorrow
On an NBC News special Tuesday night, Harry Smith and Brian Williams discussed early relief efforts in Moore, Oklahoma. Having surveyed all the boots on the ground, Harry Smith concluded: If you’re waiting for the government, you’re going to be in for an awful long wait. The Baptist men, they’re going to get it done tomorrow. As you can see, our folks do really good work, and you really ought consider a contribution to the Oklahoma Baptist disaster relief. All donations given through NAMB right now are going to Oklahoma disaster relief as well. (HT: Baptist Press)

Gosnell is found guilty of first degree murder
Kermit Gosnell has been found guilty of first degree murder in three of the four charges against him. For Gosnell, this will mean either a sentence of life in prison or the death penalty. The Washington Post reports: Abortion provider Kermit Gosnell was convicted Monday of three counts of first-degree murder for severing the spinal cords of infants born during abortions at his West Philadelphia clinic.

Married man and father of two sons becomes a woman
A transgendered person is one who self-identifies with a gender role that does not match his/her biological sex. The video above tells the story of such a man who “transitioned” himself into a “woman.” Even though he was married with two small sons, he wanted to stop being a man and become what he always felt himself to be—a female. A couple of things to note about this video: (1) NBC presents this story simply as “the changing face of the American family.” In other words, this is supposed to indicate the new normal. They are showing us this family so that everyone can understand that this is just the…

So you think Kermit Gosnell is a one-off?
I have noticed that many abortion advocates have been acting as if the atrocities of Kermit Gosnell are a one-off anomaly—as if there are no other late term abortionists in the United States who have to deal with infants born alive. Nothing could be further from the truth. Live Action has produced a couple undercover videos showing how routine both late-term abortions are. The videos also show that late-term abortionists everywhere have to deal with infants who survive abortions.

Is it wrong for a Catholic school to be Catholic?
The report above is about a gym teacher in Ohio who lost her teaching position after it became known that she was a lesbian. She had been teaching at a Catholic high school for 19 years, but when the administration found out that she was in violation of the morality provision in her contract, they let her go.

NY Times Inaccurately Reports on the Gosnell Trial
The New York Times has an astonishingly inaccurate report on the Kermit Gosnell trial. The inaccuracy begins right up front in the lede: A Pennsylvania judge on Tuesday threw out three of seven murder charges against a Philadelphia doctor charged with killing viable fetuses while performing abortions. In spite of this report, Kermit Gosnell is emphatically not on trial for “killing viable fetuses while performing abortions.” Unfortunately, it’s actually legal in the United States under Roe v. Wade to kill viable fetuses during an abortion. That is not why Kermit Gosnell is on trial.
