Sometimes I want to comment on a thing, but I’m not sure I want to do a full article on it. So, this week I’m taking three of those things and giving each a paragraph or two apiece. They aren’t connected. Just think of it as “highlighted news items of the week” or something like […]

In a recent podcast from Stand to Reason with Greg Koukl, a caller (beginning around 25:30) asked about Koukl’s understanding of the biblical doctrine of predestination. Koukl began with a basic definition of the word — i.e., to determine that something will take place before it takes place — and pointed out that a lot […]

“I wish my governor was 1/100th as ‘average’ as Ron!” — Twitter commenter I’ve never been blind to Trump’s shortcomings, but his recent attacks on Gov. Ron DeSantis are just sad and disappointing. Apparently, DeSantis was interviewed the other day by Piers Morgan, and Trump couldn’t help putting out a public statement in response, in […]

“The modern woke-industrial complex preys on our innermost insecurities about who we really are as individuals and as a people, by mixing morality with commercialism.” — Vivek Ramaswamy, Woke, Inc.

I don’t know where Whitlock, a sports journalist, originally shared his “letter” — e.g., on his podcast […]

As you will soon see, the incident I discuss in this post involves an anti-atheism meme, but the post itself has little to do with atheism. (I did an atheism article a few weeks ago, if you’re interested.) Rather, it is a certain contingent of my fellow-Christians that I have concerns about here. One day […]

Sure, we all know about the recent Chinese surveillance balloon that the Biden administration finally shot down after it had collected and relayed information from across our nation. And that there have been other violations of our sovereign airspace. And… well, tempted as I am, I’m not going to delve into that whole mishegoss. But, […]
