Original Article

In a historic move, Scientific American magazine has endorsed Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris for president — after having made its then-sole exception by endorsing Joe Biden in 2020 — citing science, healthcare, abortion, gun rights, technology, and climate action as key reasons. On Monday, Scientific American, one of the oldest and most respected science publications in the U.S., made headlines by endorsing Kamala Harris for president. “Vote for Kamala Harris to Support Science, Health and the Environment,” the publication advocated.

Comments:

Calling Scientific American one of the oldest and most respected science publications in the U.S. - what was the author of this article smoking when he came up with that fantasy?

Ok, so they don't like how Trump handled Covid. Nobody handled it well and Trump was 100% correct to question everything about Covid. Turns out he was right about a lot of it. They also don't like that he questions .man made climate change. What is wrong with that? The climate has been changing by itself since the beginning of time. Isn't the point of science to question things?

Scientific American is donating because they see Harris as a multi trillion dollar experiment they don’t have to pay for.

I wonder in which direction the needle of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists will move if Trump or Harris are elected.

Scientific American like many other so called scientific journals have been captured by the commies and the lgbtq people. The result is heavily tilted articles in which the science doesn't actually support their claims. The articles have gotten very hard to read and they're always weeping and gnashing their teeth over the poor diwntrodden scientists.

What's so historic if they just endorsed biden in 2020? He lost the election bigly, but it was still stolen for him. Seems to me Unscientific UnAmerican is on the wrong side of sanity.

In response to #1, just like Kamala Harris is border czar, Mike Pence was delegated leadership for covid. So if I am going to have a beef with Donald Trump, it will be with Mike Pence. I have said all along, Ben Carson would have been the better leadership. I guess Mike Pence would have had his feelings hurt if that had happened.

Science has become a dirty word ever since it was hijacked by the Climate Change crowd and the medical industrial complex. True science had always been about seeking out the truth and the effort to prove it through facts. Now it's just a cover word for every form of quackery.

I used to subscribe in the '80s but stopped my subscription with a letter to the publishers which included an itemized list of many unproven, unscientific, opinionated, provably false, and just plain idiotic quotes from that magazine. It went downhill very quickly, as if academics were running it. (Academic is someone who is educated beyond their intelligence.) It hasn't been worth reading at anytime since. A better publication is Quanta Magazine.

I gave up reading "Scientific American" sometime back in the 1990s, I think it was -- so far back in my past, I can't remember. But the reason why was because I got sick of taking my dose of propaganda with my science, and it was just too slick. These days, I look at online "Science Daily" which posts articles by the PR departments of the various institutions (universities, professional - the "peer-reviewed" stuff, etc.) to see what interests me and then follow links to the actual documents. Because I am a dilettante. The PR folk seem to be less biased than the journalist/reporters. They are more biased to the "see what wonderful thing my institiution did?", probably because that is what they are paid to do. Take it with a grain of salt. I just checked. They are still too slick.

SciAm used to be a veritable monument to American respect for science. While I resented being turned down for a lifetime subscription in 1985, every year since they sold out to pathological Warmism, my disappointment at that has become a deeper relief. I did love what they had been, though, and still mourn the death in America of reverence for the principles of science.

I was a devoted reader of Scientific American until the late 1970s, when they began to publish political nonsense backing the Pentagon's outdated traditional position on a question on which the Pentagon itself cited my work and admitted I was then the leading expert. The older position was eventually (and reluctantly) abandoned as national policy. It was clear to me that the Scientific American's policy was to take sides in a political controversy without informing themselves about the question.

Scientific American's endorsement of Kamala Harris will have just as much influence over most American's decision on who to vote for as Taylor Swift's endorsement. ZERO! What the out of touch government funded scientists and liberal pop star think has no relevance in my life (or most other people's). They have no clue what our day to day issues and concerns are. I do not care what they think! Scientific American should do a study on the effectiveness of political endorsements. Taylor Swift can write a song about those of us who ignore he endorsement and wish she would just keep her opinions to herself and stick to singing.

In a similar vein, Science News is a small weekly publication. Informative and easy to read -I always thought it was put out by the same people as Scientific American, but noodling around just now it looks to be a separate outfit- but it caught the same disease as Scientific American. I subscribed to it for several years, then it got to where every article had some gloom-and-doom paragraph inserted near the end as to how people were destroying the Earth. Every. Single. Article. I got tired of that garbage pretty quickly and cancelled my subscription. That was back in the 1990's, if I recall correctly. Too bad.... before it was infected by the Leftist Lunacy cancer, it was a pretty good little mag.

Pope Francis has ruffled the feathers of some religious leaders in the United States by saying that all religions provide a path to God. Francis delivered the spontaneous remark late last week during an interfaith gathering with young people at a Catholic institution in Singapore, according to The Christian Post. He went off-script from his prepared speech, emphasizing that different faiths serve as “languages” leading to the same divine truth. “There’s only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God,” Francis said, as reported by the Catholic news website Crux Now. “Some are Sheik, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, and they are different paths [to God].”
