Jonathan Pruitt and The Amber Menhir – An Unapologetic Allegory

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 21:04:53 GMT

Jonathan N Pruitt, the author of The Amber Menhir, has something to say—and he’s illustrating it by creating the allegorical works we’ve recently been missing. Just as prominent figures like George Orwell and Ayn Rand have done in generations prior, Pruitt has penned his convictions to an enlightened audience in an entertaining manner that can’t be ignored.At the surface of Pruitt’s new series, The Shadows of the Monolith, the story appears to cater to the right, leaning heavily into scathing critiques of contemporary academia. With sarcastic humor in its narrative voice, Pruitt’s debut ignites the passions of the reader while quenching their thirst for the assertions society needs to hear, whether or not they agree. The Amber Menhir describes a world where an elite class of intellectuals have enslaved the masses under the auspices that they alone can save existence, albeit through costly blood magic.  The dark narrative quickly immerses you in a world of ‘deadly power politics and ...

Cardinals’ lopsided loss to the Rams is more proof that Arizona’s rebuild won’t be easy

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 21:04:53 GMT

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The fact the Arizona Cardinals lost another football game on Sunday isn’t particularly surprising.The unexpected part was just how bad they looked.There wasn’t much good to say for the Cardinals after they were thumped in their home stadium by the Los Angeles Rams 37-14. Arizona (2-10) briefly took an 8-7 lead in the first quarter before surrendering 30 straight points to a Rams team that came in with a 4-6 record.It was an eye-opener for the Cardinals. And not in a good way.“Felt like we didn’t match their level of effort and enthusiasm throughout the game,” first-year coach Jonathan Gannon said Sunday. “That falls solely on me. When you get beat like that, we have to take a good, hard look at how we’re setting up the week because it really wasn’t competitive in my mind.”The Rams outgained the Cardinals 457 yards to 292 in a game that was arguably even more lopsided than the final score indicates. Los Angeles had total control after the first quarter...

‘We need all the support we can get’: DC-area nonprofits stress importance of Giving Tuesday

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 21:04:53 GMT

Giving Tuesday is just 11 years old, but the tradition that encourages people to donate to charitable organizations large and small can have a big impact — especially in years when giving trends downward.According to the Giving USA annual report on philanthropy issued in June of this year, total giving decreased in 2022, with individual donations down by 13.4% when adjusted for inflation.Nonprofits such as Montgomery County’s Tree House Child Advocacy Center said Giving Tuesday is helpful, as they work to offer services at a time when those services may see more demand.Dr. Evelyn Shukat, a pediatrician who specializes in the care of children who have been abused and neglected, told WTOP that many cases of abuse are referred through schools. She said child abuse has been underreported over the past few years due to the pandemic.She added that since schools reopened, “we’re seeing more and more children and our resources are stretched … We need all the support we can...

Matthew Stafford’s Rams can be a playoff contender if Kyren Williams keeps driving them forward

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 21:04:53 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matthew Stafford is throwing the ball with an injured thumb. His top two targets — Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua — are fighting through an accumulation of injuries from a punishing NFL season.Yet when Kyren Williams is running wild, the Los Angeles Rams (5-6) not only look like a dangerous offense, but a possible playoff contender.Williams racked up 204 total yards in a 37-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, rushing for 143 yards and catching two of Stafford’s four touchdown passes.The second-year pro from St. Louis has raised his game exponentially midway through his second season, providing coach Sean McVay with options he hasn’t had for his offense since Todd Gurley’s heyday. With a running back consistently fighting through contact and picking up extra yards while also providing a threat as a receiver, McVay’s playbook expands.“He’s a really good football player, and he’s one of those guys, he loves competing,” McVay said of William...
