“Fresh off their success of convincing their fellow citizens to elect Hillary Clinton President of these United States, Hollywood celebrities are attempting to convince Republican members of the electoral college to betray the people of their states and not vote for Donald Trump when the Electoral College meets on December 19.” Kudos to Donald McClarey for walking us through, point by point, why this is getting more embarrassing every day.

And it’s that we’re ready for 2016 to be over. It’s been a crazy, roller coaster year to be sure. Much tragedy, triumph, and just plain weird. President Donald Trump? Two years ago you could have asked me to bet against Bill Gates’ bank account that I’d never say that in my life time. But in it all, we’ve had to say goodbye to too many great people. I just saw that Craig Sager passed away from his long battle with... Read more
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.” When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by...

The best move is to nominate a billionaire with personal ties to Russia to allay those fears. Ah, Trump. As I said, I resolve to never, ever – and I mean never – underestimate Trump again. I bought into the ‘buffoon with goofy hair’ narrative along with most Americans. Now he’s my president. And I wish him well, as I did Obama in 2008. I want him to succeed where it helps America and Americans. I don’t say that, by... Read more
Because I could see this happening to me: Read more
Conservatives never said you can’t have standards and expect people to conform to them. They may have been wrong about thinking that you should, but they never said you shouldn’t. They were quite content with saying a society has to have standards and morals that people should be expected to follow. The left, on the other hand, in the glory days of 70s and 80s liberalism, was all about a nation where only the old fascists and Orwellian wannabes would... Read more
This is one of the damn saddest stories I’ve seen in some time. Given the suffering and hurt out there, that’s saying something. And yet, it’s also beautiful in its own way. A five year old who wants a Paw Patrol toy dies in Santa’s arms. I dare anyone to watch this without crying: A man who just uses his natural charms in a way that would shame many a professional. A chance to bring a ray of hope into the world’s... Read more
Yeah, I remember that, too. Funny old world, ain’t it. But that’s so last month’s standards. As I tell my son, if you don’t like modern principles, just wait a few. It’s like weather in Ohio. The only thing you can count on is that it won’t be the same tomorrow. Read more
And decides to ask Rust Belt Democrats why they swung for Trump. I know, that’s radical. Why ask people what they think and why they think it? Anyway, Van Jones asks, and learns something that is pretty common sense. Turns out, they didn’t vote for Trump out of some latent desire to embrace America’s racist, imperialist, genocidal past by loving racism and joining the Alt-Right. They voted for Trump because, well, things weren’t going well for them. Some voted for... Read more
The largest attack against the Christian minority in Egypt for some time has claimed the lives of at least 25 worshipers. None have claimed responsibility. It’s entirely possible, of course, that the attackers are not Muslim. At this point, we don’t know. But if not, then it would be a radical departure from the plight that Christians face in many areas of the Islamic world. Not all face violence or physical attacks, at least anymore than anyone else in the... Read more
