One by one, the guilty pleas are coming. One by one, former associates or Trump campaign team members are rolling over in some fashion, willing to make a deal, in order to save their own skin. Overall, it appears that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation has been moving along successfully. There have been no major leaks and no matter how President Trump rages and threatens, he’s not shaking Mueller. Today’s news concerns former Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. Manafort has... Read more

I am a defender of the press, believing that as imperfect and yes – even biased as the media can be, we do not label them “the enemy,” in order to protect some would-be despot, and we don’t put a gag on them. That being said, what The New York Times has attempted to do to United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is inexcusable. For some reason – and this got past the editors of the news organization – they ran... Read more

Fox News personality, Tucker Carlson, has been on a fast track to complete and total joke for some time, now. Carlson’s sole purpose now seems to be wrapped up in his transmogrification into a dumber, more annoying version of Sean Hannity. It shouldn’t be a competition, ladies, but… WOW. I thought last week’s Tucker Carlson segment, asking what was so great about diversity was peak for him. And you know, there are few things I find as annoying as labeling... Read more

Are you rich? Might I suggest that when you’re wealthy or a celebrity, you shouldn’t use that as a golden ticket to commit sexual assault, but rather, you should find more altruistic pursuits? With that in mind, I’m going to express my admiration for Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos, once more. And yes, I know he’s a pretty liberal guy, in general. What if I told you that one’s political leanings do not negate their worth as a person, or the... Read more

He is a petulant, self-absorbed, awful human being. The stain of Trumpism will not wash off of those who have enabled him. It will not be easily forgotten. Today’s fresh Trump outrage is particularly notable, as I, and other east coast Americans brace for Hurricane Florence to inflict her fury upon us. I am sitting in the North Carolina “red zone” of the projected path of Florence. I have taken precautions, stockpiling ice, water, nonperishable food, and other necessities, in... Read more

Donald Trump – profaner, adulterer, abuser, con artist, potential tax cheat – and celebrated champion of the American evangelicals. I’ve watched with heartbreak, as respected members of the American church body have laid their offerings of praise at this man’s feet. I’ve lamented a church that puts politics over their faith because, as I’ve been told so many times, they felt they had no other options. In other words, adhering to their faith was not an option. They were forced... Read more

This is one of those “Could be nothing – slash – could be a lot of something” moments in the ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. At the very least, this is enough to raise suspicions. Buzzfeed News broke the story earlier Wednesday, regarding suspicious financial activity tied to some of the participants in the now-infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. According to secret documents obtained by Buzzfeed, there were several transactions made through a complicated criss-crossing... Read more

This is a problem. It is true religious oppression, and Christians around the world need to be making noise about this. China’s Communist leadership has ramped up the pressure on Chinese Christians, through burning Bibles, removing symbols of their faith, and even ordering Christians to sign papers that renounce their beliefs and pledging loyalty to the Communist government. I’ve written about Christian persecution around the world, before, and pointed out the work of Open Doors USA, a group that monitors... Read more

I honestly don’t know if this is more funny, more terrifying, or more sad. I absolutely believe it to be true. So for those who still labor under the belief that Donald Trump is some sort of businessman extraordinaire, just hold that thought. I could be wrong, but wouldn’t one of the table legs of business require at least an elementary knowledge of economics? According to the new Bob Woodward book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” there was a... Read more

You’re going to see a lot of these reflections today, so let me begin by saying I hope we’re not all so jaded, 17 years out, that we’re tired of them. To be honest, this is probably my first attempt at talking about my personal feelings and experiences surrounding the attack that rocked this nation to its core and opened up our nation to perpetual war. I think it’s important for people to note that September 11, 2001 was not... Read more
