I remember the scene after the 2008 election, when Barack Obama was announced as the new president – the first African-American president. If they were being completely honest and accurate, he would have been touted as the first biracial president, still historic, but apparently, that doesn’t pack the same emotional punch. Those early days of Obama’s presidency were ridiculous. Unlike anything seen before, Obama was exalted, given a god-like status among Democrats and the usual leftist riff-raff. There were children... Read more

There’s a real problem in the American church today, and it is damaging the witness of American Christians in the world. We have evangelicals, who have given away the moral high ground for the sake of political gains. In record numbers, they rejected a host of qualified, Christian candidates in the 2016 primaries, in order to chase after the adulteries and abuses of Donald Trump, a man who had openly rejected the need for God in his life. Even powerful... Read more

The move of the United States embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is the right thing to do, and should have been done a long time ago. In fact, when Bill Clinton signed the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 into law, stating that the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the wheels should have started moving, then. Lawmakers at that time put an escape hatch into the bill, stating that “waivers” could be signed to... Read more

Three cheers for Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and Oklahoma state government. They did the right thing. It was the right thing, and it’s causing the LGBT(add additional letters as new anomalies are named) community to go apoplectic. Late Friday evening, Governor Fallin signed into law a bill that provides legal protection to faith-based adoption agencies that prefer to place children with married, heterosexual couples. Gay rights groups see this as an attack on their community (since everything is about them,... Read more

Donald Trump has spent his adult life surrounded by sketchy characters. He employed them, associated with them, and by every account, was one of them. But he’s the president now, and this is getting ridiculous. If you needed an example, one such sketchy character would be his longtime personal attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen. Cohen was the subject of a raid on his home and office in early April, in search of financial records, relating to the payoff of Trump’s... Read more

I can’t help but think White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is a broken man. He’s been burdened for almost a year now with the thankless job of being the Trump wrangler. In that time, he’s had mixed results. For example, leaks from the White House, while they haven’t been ended, have at the least, been slowed to a drip. That’s John Kelly. Unfortunately, we’ve seen that image of a crestfallen Kelly, off in the background, while Trump rails... Read more

If you’re blaming Israel and/or the Jewish people for everything wrong in the world, you’re doing life wrong. Let’s get that much out of the way, off the top. Also know that I am a friend of Israel, totally – even militantly – supportive of their right to exist. Think about it: They’re a tiny spot on the map in the Middle East, surrounded by larger nations, all with murderous, anti-Semitic intent, yet, they thrive. Is that why I support... Read more

And this is the end of civility and common goodness. It has become a novelty in the age of Trump. This kind of hateful rhetoric is why so many of us have planted our feet on principle and turned our backs on partisanship, unwilling to trade our character, if partisanship means we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those who spew such heartless dribble. OH – I’m going off on the White House official who thought Senator John McCain’s slow roll to the... Read more

I recently offered up a piece on the D.C. swamp, and in specific, spoke about a particular swamp thing, by the name of Devin Nunes. Nunes is the California representative that sits as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and with his “F” rating, hopes his sniveling fealty to President Trump will be enough to keep him in his current position. So desperate is Nunes to ingratiate himself to the president, that he’s jumping at any opportunity to prove himself... Read more

Insufficiently partisan. So that’s the term of the day, or the term to define my political life, these days. My own dealings with Salem Media Group ended on April 27, 2018, after being a front page contributor with one of their conservative websites, RedState, for the past two years. Why was I let go? Was it because I wasn’t drawing traffic (the bread-and-butter of any website)? Was I too expensive? The answer to both of those questions is “no.” I... Read more
