In an article just published at Hot Air, David Strom (associated with Claremont Institute and the Center of the American Experiment) reported on a disturbing revelation, especially so close to mid-term elections.

I have been getting behind in my Imprimis reading lately, but then the other day I read “Why We Shouldn’t Cancel the Supreme Court” — based on a speech by Jonathan Turley and adapted for the Sept. 2026 issue of Imprimis — and decided to make a pair of blogposts from it. I first heard […]

Time for another post wherein Tim Barnett (Mr. B) of Red Pen Logic (RPL) responds to some atheist/ skeptic/progressive’s claims about some point of contention, usually socio-political and/or theological/philosophical in nature. Reflecting a conservative Christian approach, Barnett uses facts and reason — and certainly a better understanding of Scripture — to boldly yet irenically explain […]
