Three cheers for actor Chris Pratt. The big screen star of Marvel superhero flicks, “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2,” “Avengers: Infinity War” brought his superhero persona to the small screen on Monday night, as he accepted an MTV Movie “Generation Award” for his work. To a wildly cheering audience full of millennials, Pratt accepted his award, saying that as their elder, he was going to drop some wisdom on the next generation: Nine Rules from... Read more
This is heartbreaking. While we’re all quibbling over whataboutisms, regarding the “zero tolerance” separation policy at the border, with President Trump blaming the Democrats, White House aide Stephen Miller boasting of it as a deterrent, and Republicans apparently split as to whether we should turn a blind eye or not (We shouldn’t), the stories are getting harder and harder to hear. And speaking of “hear,” someone captured the anguished cries of frightened children inside one of the detainment centers and... Read more
I’ve already gave you my opinion on the policy that separates children and parents at the border. I’m absolutely against illegal immigration, but I’m more opposed to needless cruelty that scars children for life. Let the punishment fit the crime, and remember, the children did no wrong. So while we watch this epic tragedy play out, we see that everyone has some sort of take. Some of those takes are just hot, while others are a hot mess. And speaking... Read more
He’s not wrong, and more should be speaking up, because we’re reaching red alert status. Ok, to be fair, Joe Walsh is no longer in Congress. The Illinois Republican, however, still has a voice in the political realm, as a radio host, and he’s not afraid to use it. Former Rep. Walsh is one of those hybrid creatures that supported Donald Trump during the 2016 election, but has not held his tongue, in regards to calling out the president when... Read more
It’s Father’s Day, so it seems as good a day as any to talk about this myth that is perpetuated by the left, and the harridans that promote the act of infanticide, under the guise of “choice.” Let’s begin with some statistics, just to get our bearing, maybe a “good news, bad news” kind of thing. First, the good news: It appears that the number of reported abortions has been on the decline in the United States. Then, the bad... Read more
More Russians, more questionable dealings between they and Trump associates. So – just another day ending with a “y.” The buzz this Sunday morning is about longtime Trump pal and former campaign aide, Roger Stone, and a May 2016 meeting with a Russian man offering dirt on Hillary Clinton. The gentleman’s name was Henry Greenberg. The meeting was set up by Michael Caputo, a campaign communications official for the Trump campaign. The story is a bit complicated, but apparently, what...

Seriously. Can we stop with Nepotism Theater and get Jared Kushner out of the White House? I’m pretty sure, at this point, a lot of the sketchy activity we see around the Trump administration would start to dry up. The White House senior adviser and Trump son-in-law has been implicated in so many shady dealings and bad decisions that you really have to wonder if it is he, not Michael Cohen, who “knows where the bodies are buried” in Trumplandia....

We’ve got a problem at the border. It’s not a new problem or a Trump problem. It’s been a problem for a long, long time. It was Ronald Reagan, who, along with Calvin Coolidge, may stand as the standard bearer for what the Republican party should have been, who said, “A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.” If that’s true, then we’re only a nation in the rhetorical sense. It’s infuriating to see stories of what... Read more
What has happened to evangelicals in America? Has the age of Trump truly ruined any measure of Christian witness and purpose in the world? I’ve spoken about this often, and there is scant evidence to prove me wrong, at this point, although I pray for it. In what could likely be labeled as Exhibit #372, I’d like to discuss what happened at the most recent Southern Baptist Convention. The Southern Baptists are the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.... Read more
If you’ve been keeping up, you know I don’t often agree with the actions of President Donald Trump. That doesn’t mean I’m 100 percent against anything he does, simply because he’s Donald Trump. On the contrary, there have been decisions he’s made that I wholeheartedly supported, and said so. One such decision was his announcement that he’d be sending U.S. National Guard troops to the southern border to assist Border Patrol. “We’re going to do some things militarily,” Trump said....
