Socialism Always Fails

February 6, 2022

“[Socialism is] a pseudo-religion posing as a pseudo-science and run by political elites.” — Lee Edwards of The Heritage Foundation’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics Radical progressives want to turn America into a socialist “paradise”. They do this by teaching the “evils” of capitalism and the promises of socialism (i.e., gateway to […]

When Leftists Control Your City

February 4, 2022

Lootings and shootings and murders, oh my! Also, car thefts, armed carjackings, train robberies, arson, vandalism, aggravated assaults, etc. When Leftists who run cities (i.e., mayors, district attorneys, city councils) defund their police force, refuse to prosecute serious crimes, even encourage lootings and arson by rioters, manipulate the system in favor of criminals, and generally […]

Is Genesis 1-11 Poetry or Prose?

January 30, 2022

When it comes to the first few chapters of Genesis, some people like to claim that it is merely poetry (and thus at least partly fictional), as opposed to narrative prose about actual things that happened in real time. (Of course, even poetry can point to reality despite flowery or phenomenological language.) This affords them […]

Genesis and the Battle between Tehom and Tiamat

January 23, 2022

The Bible has long been the target of pagans, skeptics, and “progressives”, including various attacks on the reliability of the text. When it comes to the Old Testament, they (naturally) start in the beginning with the book of Genesis, particularly (but not limited to) the first few chapters. In his book The Old Testament Documents, […]

The Racist Boogeyman

January 16, 2022

“It is impossible to forge ahead while walking backward.” — Candace Owens, political commentator and podcast host Few people in America get as much flack from their own “community” as Candace Owens. But, this brave, young black woman is awake, not “woke”. She has a passion for speaking out against the political Left, who promise […]

What’s at Stake in the Dobbs v. Jackson Abortion Case

January 9, 2022

“While the line of questions posed by the conservative members of the Court were encouraging, a lot can happen in the next few months to alter opinions. I do not believe this current administration will tolerate any decision in the case that favors the pro-life side, especially if it undermines Roe.” — Troy Newman, President […]

Lucky Grapes and Lemon Pigs

January 2, 2022

I thought I’d start the year by sharing a couple New Year’s traditions I read about on ‘Atlas Obscura’…. Instead of welcoming the New Year by toasting with champagne or kissing their significant others, some people in Spain and Latin America stuff their mouths with twelve grapes — preferably white Aledo grapes from Alicante, Spain. […]

Three Reasons to NOT Read the Trinity into Gen. 1:26

December 26, 2021

This isn’t exactly a Christmas post, but it’s “Christmas-adjacent” (like Die Hard). How? It involves Scripture and the incarnation of the Son of God. In particular, the first verse in the Bible that is taken as an indication — even “proof” — of the triune nature of Yahweh. It reads, “Then God said, ‘Let us […]

Rise of the Motivated Minority

December 19, 2021

A couple weeks ago, I cited a section of The Authoritarian Moment by Ben Shapiro, in which he gave an account of how the Left has gradually suppressed most Americans’ speech via things like the Cordiality Principle and “microaggressions”. In the next section (which I cite below), Shapiro described how a relatively small, radical minority […]

New Duck-Billed Dinosaur in Missouri

December 12, 2021

“Show… me… the fossils!” — me, with apologies to Jerry Maguire and Rod Tidwell And by “new” I mean the remains of a newly-discovered species, not a newly-evolved creature that was found munching away in some marshlands. But, you probably knew that… Even if you aren’t into paleontology that much, you may remember seeing hadrosaurs, […]
