In the case of the Hollywood writers’ strike, who has the moral high ground? Many have seen the consistent refrain that Hollywood executives are taking advantage of poor, overworked writers via streaming culture changes and AI’s rise.* Hollywood studio executives are trying to cut costs to preserve profits in a new and changing environment for […]

Tim Keller and the Political Moment
26 May 2023
The Gospel gives us the resources to love people who reject both our beliefs and us personally. Christians should think of how God rescued them. He did it not by taking power but by coming to earth, losing glory and power, serving and dying on a cross. How did Jesus save? Not with a sword […]

Trump’s Historic Indictment A Legal Stretch
05 Apr 2023
On Tuesday, Donald J. Trump, the forty-fifth President of the United States, became the first of America’s former chief executives to be indicted in a criminal court. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office charged Trump with thirty four counts of falsifying business records. The allegations revolve around Trump’s payments to suppress damaging information during the 2016 […]

As we learn more and more about Silicon Valley Bank, the basic problems are not really in doubt, but political posturing makes understanding really difficult. Henry Hazlitt has a nice quote in the 1st paragraph of his Economics in One Lesson that is apropos. Obviously the interest group of the affected bankers and depositors quickly […]

“How could anyone be that irresponsible?”
12 Jan 2023
So what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Or is it? That is one of today’s questions as Mr. Biden is now found to have multiple classified documents apparently stored for years after he was no longer Vice President in a private office. After belatedly revealing that they had found one […]

Brief Beef With The Fed
12 Dec 2022
For several months, we’ve witnessed the Fed discuss the need to orchestrate a, “soft landing,” for the economy. Attempting to orchestrate an easy descent from this inflationary high; however, I believe the entire goal displays a flawed understanding of economics. Despite that, Mr. Powell still possesses a rational reason to attempt the impossible. To start […]

The title for this post is one for our older Bereans that remember Dan Quayle’s debate with Lloyd Bentsen in the 1988 vice-presidential debate. Yet the real purpose of this post is to stop the disparagement of Jimmy Carter by comparing Joe Biden with him. As the nation sinks deeper into an inflationary morass, with […]

A bipartisan group of twenty U.S. Senators have a broad agreement on legislation in response to mass shootings in America. Opposition from the left and right still exists, and a legislative recess looms, but Congress seems poised to pass the most significant reforms in this area since the Clinton Administration. The framework is still just […]

One of the things that absolutely amazes me about the Biden Administration is the steadfast refusal to change course when they do the wrong thing–instead they double down! And say all sorts of ridiculous things that harm them politically. It’s as if they have a death wish; not only to be a one-term administration, but […]

From One Bad Actor to Another–we have to do anything but produce oil in the United States
07 Mar 2022
It is really unbelievable. I am quite serious when I say this–I have been stunned by the suicidal political instincts of the Biden Administration and their congressional leaders to slavishly bow down to their progressive wing, whose agenda is so toxic to the country and the Democratic Party. Everyone looked for some sort of reboot […]
