Christianity: Cal Thomas, a Christian, and a politically conservative columnist, who interviewed Mr. Trump a few weeks before Dobson's statement, is skeptical of his reported conversion.

Health: National Public Radio reports on the use of virtual reality (VR) in seriously incapacitated patients, who seem to be responding well to VR.
NPR also reports on various kinds of gifts to doctors by drug companies and device makers, which, unfortunately, may influence those doctors to prescribe treatments that aren't in the patient's best interest. Hospitals in Southern states are most likely to have such influences.

I am skeptical, too, along with Cal Thomas. It was on June 28 that I posted my thoughts regarding Dr. Dobson's claim, and James Dobson posted the article I quoted on June 27. I haven't yet seen anything done or said by Mr. Trump that convinces me that his conversion was real.
Regarding the Wired report, I try to find the more impartial sources, but it's not easy.
I'm also skeptical, although, of course, it's not up to me.
No, it's not easy.
Thank you!
No, it's not up to us at all, thank God.
