Ok, I promise I’ll stop quite the # of posts with “TR”, but this is a good counter to the bad news on trade we discussed last week. On Friday of last week, the U.S. International Trade Commission dealt a blow to Cronyism, Mr. Trump and that largest of corporate cronies, the Boeing Corporation. In […]

Trump Trolls for Trouble, but Trade Tricked him!

I heard this yesterday on Al Mohler’s The Briefing, and found it today in the young lady’s own words over on The Gospel Coalition. This is a profile not only in courage to confront evil, but a boldness to speak of the beauty of the gospel to her abuser. This is a must watch, as […]

Aahh the perils of a populist president. But at least I can try to think of more words that start off with TR.* So yesterday Mr. Trump declared war on most of America and a few foreigners to support a few jobs in the solar cell and washing machine industries. Let’s just review the standard […]

But don’t smile, you are too. Let’s get to the good losing first. This time of year, there will be many hopeful losers, as membership at Jenny Craig and health clubs will be on the rise. But that’s not the only way one can be a loser and be happy about it. I’m a real loser […]

Jonathan asked a good question in response to our VLOG this past week, and I think it merits a separate response to spell it out.

Luke recorded the same phenomenon almost 2000 years ago, in his discussion of the Apostle Paul at Mars Hill, where he editorialized: (Now all the Athenians and […]

One of the central debates on the Republican tax reform proposals is how much their plan will “cost” the government. This begs the question as to why not taking as much of people’s money as you previously intended to take is considered a cost, but we’ll leave that aside. Republicans argue that any tax proposal […]

In his campaign, Mr. Trump said we were going to be so successful that we would get tired of winning. Count me as not yet weary. Over the last few weeks, there were two big stories with EPA which are worth highlighting. In general, Mr. Trump has gone with a full scale assault on the […]

Follow up on Jonathan’s post on NFL protests
11 Oct 2017
Last week’s VLOG engendered reaction from Jonathan, which I’d like to address at least briefly. Since the original post is now likely not being read, its only fair to start a new thread. So here are his questions, and my responses below. 1) Most of the panel expressed concern about the method or strategy to the current NFL protest. Dr. […]

Whatever your brand of protestant faith, I think that in this coming month of October–in a very important sense–we are all Lutherans: here we stand. The monk from Wittenberg was the spark that roared to an unquenchable fire, hitting the dry wood of people yearning for the true word of God. As Michael Reeves says, […]
