In a huge win for religious liberty, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 today in favor of the First Amendment. The justices rebuked the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for their dismissive and contemptuous ruling against Christian baker Jack Phillips. Phillips had politely declined to bake a wedding cake for a homosexual “marriage,” on the constitutionally protected […]
Bob Mueller has threatened President Trump and his legal team with a subpoena if he will not voluntarily submit to an interview. But a subpoena is constitutionally unenforceable against a sitting president. This is clear from the section of the Constitution which discusses impeachment. The power of impeachment to hold federal officials accountable in between […]
Author and media consultant Peter Leyden and political commentator Ruy Texeira have declared all out war against conservatives. These regressives (they think they are “progressives” but they are not – they are dragging us backwards toward the Dark Ages) argue, quite correctly in my view, that America is currently divided into two camps, and one […]
I am a Christian for one simple reason: the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. There is simply no credible alternative to the view that his grave was empty on Easter morning because of his bodily resurrection. His body wasn’t there because he wasn’t there. And he wasn’t there because he had been […]
I know a man who was living in a neighborhood when a salesman came door to door selling home security systems. He told the salesman he already had one. “What’s your security system?” he asked. The man replied, “God and a loaded gun.” It wasn’t a matter of either/or but both/and. I suggest we have […]

Donald Trump is president because he won the electoral college by trouncing Hillary Clinton 304-227. At the same […]
Donald Trump’s base understandably wigged out when he proposed giving away the store in his latest immigration proposal. The president offered a 10-12 year path to citizenship for 1.8 million DACAns, twice the number anybody was talking about before, and offered not to terminate chain migration until all 4 million in the pipeline are processed, […]
Critics from both left and right are all over Jeff Sessions for his decision to revoke an Obama-era executive order on marijuana. It ordered the Department of Justice to turn a blind eye to pot production, transportation, and sales in states that have legalized recreational use of weed. There are several important issues involved here. […]
Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are flogging Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi at every opportunity for being obstructionists and for wanting to shut the government down. (The truth is that only about 83% of the government actually shuts down when the government “shuts down”, which is why I’ve put the phrase in quotation marks. Social […]
“A sleeper agent is a spy who is placed in a target country or organization not to undertake an immediate mission but to act as a potential asset if activated.” ~ Wikipedia In the Cold War era, spy novels and spy movies were produced which featured the quite sinister plot of sleeper agents launching attacks […]
