For others, however, it seems to boil down to the color of the skin. Race is the biggest game in town, and the good news is that everyone wants to play. The bad news is, we only appear to care some of the time. So white officer Alan Horujko who shot and killed the Black Somali stabbing suspect in Ohio is being paraded as a hero. Thats interesting — Tariq Nasheed Read more
There’s been quite a debate about the appropriate response to Castro’s death. Most seem to feel gloating over his death and hoping he burns in hell for eternity is over the mark. Most also, however, feel that gushing with praise and adoration for him while minimizing those pesky human rights violations is also inappropriate. With that said, there are naturally those on both extremes. After all, with people you’ll always have extremes. What matters, however, is what our leaders do.... Read more
Emma Morano, the last known living person born in the 19th century, turns 117. I can’t imagine. The wealth of knowledge and wisdom from living through such a turbulent and dynamic century. I guess two eggs a day will do the trick. Happy Birthday Mrs. Morano, and God bless. Read more
A little story I thought about commenting on, then decided not to. Simply because people were hurt, reputations maligned, and it might distract from the greater problem of sexual assault on campuses that does need addressed. Nonetheless, as my blood pressure rises with anger at the MSM for so contemptuously lecturing everyone else on this sudden pandemic of Fake News stories, I thought it was good to remind everyone that if there is such a thing as fake news, we...

Or other political or social issues. The only thing we know is that he used a vehicle and a knife. The only gun known to be used was used by an officer in order to prevent further harm or possible death. We know nothing about the motive as of now. So any attempts at this point to jump on the agenda train and suggest this or that and then my agendas does a disservice to the concept of being pro-life.... Read more
There was an attack on the main campus of The Ohio State University, somewhat reminiscent of the Nice attack earlier this year. A man drove into a crowd and then proceeded to attack individuals in a random manner until he was fatally shot by a police officer. So far there have been no fatalities, save for the attacker. From all accounts, the students and faculty and security forces all responded wonderfully, which is in part why there were no... Read more

As I said, if you are in ministry and people have questions, you answer them. You certainly don’t scold them or, worse, impugn their spiritual walk or inner motives. When Henry IV groveled before Pope Gregory VII outside of Canossa Castle, most assume Gregory had good reason to suspect Henry’s motives. Nonetheless, answering the call to pastoral ministry, Gregory went ahead and administered the reconciliation Henry needed to consolidate power and turn around and attack the pope. So it came as quite... Read more
Yeah, so do I. Heh. Like anyone is surprised. Please. Grow up people. Stop acting like rules only apply to everyone else, but if you don’t get your way you’re going to jump up and down, hold your breath, and kick your feet until you get your way. And that goes double for people like Major Garrett who went out of his way to lecture Trump on how all the great presidents in history courageously conceded the election rather than... Read more
