Going With The Flow?Episode 210: Senior Thesis 2024 - Qynn"Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees" by Qynn
Abstract: Farmers are the backbone of our economy, but they are breaking under the strain. They
spend hours on end dealing with tremendous amounts of paperwork, stressing over impossible
problems, and praying that God will give them good weather for the harvest. They are the hidden
heroes of God’s green earth—working day after day but getting little to no pay. Small local
farmers are not receiving enough income to continue farming or caring for their families. A
farmer’s fruit goes through a proces...

Going With The Flow?Episode 208: Senior Thesis 2024 - Belle"Classically Intelligent: Using Classical Music to Aid in Children’s Brain Development" by Belle
Abstract: Everyone listens to music constantly–whether on the way to work, while taking a shower,
while whistling and walking through a store, music constantly surrounds us in our modern
culture. However, there is one genre of music that has timelessly surrounded the minds of
humans: instrumental classical music has influenced our processing since the 5th century BC.

Going With The Flow?Episode 207: Senior Thesis 2024 - Hailey*"Purity Pitch" by Hailey *
Abstract: The pure, moral world today is in peril. Morality is a hodge-podge of desire and whims in
a post-truth society without a transcendent grounding. It is far diverged from what God originally
designed and planned for His people. This divine design and framework for humans to live well
is outlined in His law: the Bible. The following of this plan is called “purity.” Purity is
God-ordained wholeness, an appointing of things as the way He made them to be: mentally,
spiritually, and physically. Each of these are inte...

About $3,075.64 is being spent on porn every second. It makes more than the NFL, NBA, and the MLB combined! It promotes sex trafficking and causes people to be unfaithful to their spouses. It creates unrealistic expectations, objectification and has heavy emotional and mental health effects. Drugs can “promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of de...

Going With The Flow?Episode 205: Senior Thesis 2024 - QuinnFractured Education: The School System’s Prejudiced Social Divide by Quinn
Abstract: Despite all of our advances in ridding ourselves of the injustices that have plagued our nation, a particular example of bigotry has been left to fester. People with special needs have historically been a consistent target for prejudice and oppression; this discrimination has bled out of the history books and into the American school system. To this day, American schools operate under ableism and discrimination, causing incredible social development problems our for students, and continuing to contribute to a bigoted culture. It is imperative to th...

"The Fostering of Foster Care Through the Church" by Sarah
**
**Abstract: When a child needs help, who do they run to for help? Usually to their parents.
Sometimes it is a friend, but the younger someone is, the more they tend to rely on their
parents. However, children in the foster care system don’t have that option; th...

Hot Water HistoryBig L for LibertariansDetermined to prove Trump right, the Libertarian Party espouses perpetual irrelevance and likely assisted suicide through the nomination of a leftist. And, in an effort to totally outdo themselves, the delegates tabbed a corrupt cop as his VP. Despite the heroic efforts of great people like Angela McCardle, Dave Smith, Michael Rectenwald and Michael Heise, the LP is like that freighter that ran into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore a couple of months ago--a disaster captained by hall monitors--present and remote--who were justly stuffed into lockers in grade school and now seek revenge on the cool-kids-turned-adults....

The Remnant with Jonah GoldbergMr. PopularityAfter providing an update on his absence this week, Jonah begins today’s Ruminant on a note of uncertainty: He hasn’t decided whether an Elon Musk Twitter takeover is something we should welcome or fear. His mind is also occupied by the idea raised by Megan McArdle that Americans are increasingly “sidestepping institutions” in their daily lives, as well as Matt Continetti’s perspective on the term “right-winger.” Plus, tune in for a predictably nerdy disquisition on populism and why an old-fashioned liberal ethos is what separates conservatism from statism.

The Remnant with Jonah GoldbergSquare EyesOn today’s Ruminant, a predictably sleep-deprived Jonah is haunted by distant memories of his time in Prague and the alluring restaurants that refused his custom. Thankfully, he’s able to process the pain by embarking on a lengthy rant about democracy, capitalism, and the charming brilliance of Irving Kristol. There’s also a disquisition on the philosophy of hit TV shows and the legacy of The Wire, which will delight Breaking Bad partisans. Tune in to find out if Jonah has adjusted to life as an empty nester, but stick around to see if he can get through the wh...
