Senator Fred H. Dore’s Address to the Graduates of John Kennedy High School

May 25th 1972

Dear Reverend Fathers and Sisters, Graduates, Parents and Friends:

Tonight is a night you will remember the rest of your lives. I can remember my own high school graduation from a private high school some 29 years ago. I can recall vividly that 83 of us graduated that night in the middle of World War II and there were fears and trepidation among all of us as to just what the new bold world would mean to us in the years ahead.

In many ways the atmosphere today is similar to what it was in 1943. Peace is on the lips of all citizens and yet war wages in the far corners of the world. People seek instant solutions from our statesmen and politicians. In 1943 we were concerned but optimistic, for we had faith in our education, our training and ourselves and our country. Hopefully you share the same thoughts and aspirations here tonight.

KYAC Radio May 1975

I'm sitting in my room, trying to think.  As usual, the radio's on.  Neil Diamond's song, "I am,  I said," is playing softly.  

Diamond, originally of New York and now living in California, expresses his feelings of displacement or of not quite belonging:

"L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home, New York's home, but it ain't mine no more."

Today, while I was out job hunting, I went back to my New York: Seattle's Madrona district.  It seemed smaller, different, almost foreign.  I had become an outsider to the place that had shaped my very attitude toward life.

As I walked along those same streets, I thought back to the way it was when I was about twelve:

Young, super cool Black Panthers strutted down the streets full of pride and hate, showing off their black leather jackets, their black caps and their rakes.  [A type of metal hair comb].

I was attacked on the street for being white.

Was London's Recent Prayer a Show of Conquest?

Raymond Ibrahim, 03/25/26

On March 16, thousands of Muslims took over London’s Trafalgar Square to mark their communal breaking of Ramadan fast. A dramatic spectacle followed—replete with bodies sprawled all over the streets in prostration, as Koran verses, including “Allahu akbar,” blared out over megaphones in Arabic.

Several British Christians and conservatives responded by rightfully accusing the Muslims of intentionally engaging in a provocative act of domination over British, historically Christian, public space.

In the words of Nick Timothy, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice and Shadow Lord Chancellor:

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan—which declares there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger—is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals… [T]he domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook.

Margaret Dore Beats the Odds

With  the odds stacked against her, Margaret Dore, Esq., MBA did an admirable job educating attendee's at an "End of Life Options Discussion Panel" sponsored by Hamline Mitchell Law School's Health Law Society in Saint Paul, Minnesota on Thursday evening.

The panel was comprised of three supporters of the Minnesota End of Life Options Act, including Thaddeus Pope, and Ms. Dore, who alone stood to expose the language of the bill and the reality of what that language has allowed in Washington State, where Ms. Dore is an attorney and president of Choice is an Illusion. Not only was she outnumbered 3 to one on the panel, but pro-assisted death representatives had a fit when Ms. Dore attempted to share documentation for her talk and blocked her from handing it out.

Ms. Dore hammered home points that are often glossed over. When panel members insisted that this bill pertained to "terminal patients with less than 6 months to live," Ms. Dore shared a real encounter she had. "Doctors can be wrong about life expectancy, sometimes way wrong," said Dore. "This is due to actual mistakes and the fact that predicting life expectancy is not an exact science. A few years ago, I was met at the airport by a man who at age 18 had been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and given 3 to 5 years to live, at which time he was to die by paralysis. His diagnosis had been confirmed by the Mayo Clinic. When he met me at the airport, he was 74 years old. The disease progression had stopped on its own."

Alberta Government Moves to Drastically Reduce Access to Medically Assisted Dying (Euthanasia)

Story by Jack Farrell

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government took steps Wednesday to drastically restrict who's eligible for medical assistance in dying.  

Smith’s United Conservative Party government introduced a bill that, if passed, would limit medical assistance in dying, better known as MAID, to those likely to die of natural causes within a year.

Those under 18 would still be prohibited regardless of condition, in line with current federal rules.

But Smith said Ottawa's framework is largely missing the mark.

"I think that we're failing in our duty to give people hope," Smith told reporters before the bill was introduced in the house.

"We believe MAID must be a compassionate option reserved only for those who will not recover from terminal illness."
