Did you catch this bombshell? I don’t think I saw anything about it in mainstream media. (Then again, I don’t spend much time perusing the MSM.) Sure, outfits like NPR and The Guardian reported on the related fact that presiding US district court judge Aileen Cannon delayed the trial. But, this particular detail about the […]

“[I]t is the progressive elites, not their conservative opponents, who are engaging in cultural revolution!” — Heather Mac Donald, Manhattan Institute As you may know, I often share excerpts from relevant articles at other publications. One semi-regular source is Imprimis — the newsletter from Hillsdale College, which adapts presentations from their seminars and lecture series […]

In case you missed it, last week we looked at what the ESV Study Bible and the Baker Illustrated Study Bible (CSB) have to say about God’s seemingly out-of-the-blue attempt on the life of Moses(?) and Zipporah’s appeasement of God by circumcising their firstborn son. As promised, this week we continue the investigation by looking […]

It is time for the third entry (each in two parts) in this series, which looks at particularly baffling passages from the Old Testament that are often glossed over in study Bibles and Bible commentaries. The first entry was focused on Gen. 6:1-4 (“sons of God” and the Nephilim), and the second examined Gen. 9:18-29 […]

“[I]f you have an existing nuke, keep it open if you can. I think most people are agnostic on new nuclear, hoping that the next generation of reactors might pan out but fearing that they’ll be too expensive.” — Bill McKibben, author, activist, founder of 350.org If this topic sounds vaguely familiar, it might be […]

“[T]he NIPCC’s regional approach to analyzing extreme events and historical and paleo records of temperature, rainfall, streamflow, glaciers, sea ice, and sea-level rise is commendable and frankly more informative than the global analyses provided by the IPCC.” — Dr. Judith Curry, then-professor and chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech […]

Due to a mild case of procrastination, exacerbated by multiple distractions of varying importance, I almost didn’t get a blogpost prepared for this week. First, I wasn’t sure whether or not I wanted to do something Easter-related this year. I did have a potential source article to draw from regarding pagan origins. But, once I […]

“That’s not the resume of a ‘uniter in chief.’” — Jarrett Stepman, columnist for The Daily Signal and author of The War on History: The Conspiracy to Rewrite America’s Past What do you consider to be the biggest failures of the Biden administration (or, as some prefer, “Biden regime”), so far?

This week, we continue the investigation by looking at the NIV Faithlife Illustrated Study Bible and the […]

If you read my posts from 2/4/2024 & 2/11/2024, you can guess what I’m going to do this week and next. I have chosen a particularly baffling passage from the Old Testament which many commentators gloss over, and I will cite what four of the top study Bibles have to say about it. This time, […]
