This is getting a bit confusing. Now we see fake news writers excoriating what they call fake news. Moreover, we now have a battle of alleged fake news going. In the past few days the allegation that Russia was hacking the Democratic National Committee website has been a major theme of the Left in DC. […]

Non-Fake Update on Fake News

“Fraud!” cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered “Fraud!” But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed. They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain, And they knew that Casey wouldn’t let that ball go by again. Empassioned sports fans don’t like a bad call, and we […]

Its puzzling to me, tell me why?
30 Sep 2016
Why is it that many Americans are concerned about CEO pay (S&P 500 median compensation $10.8M in 2015), but are not concerned that Taylor Swift made $170M last year? Or that LeBron James made $77M? Why is it that people are concerned about an explosion in the price hikes of monopolist producers of EpiPen, but […]

When asked how one could tell whether a country had left capitalism and become a socialist economy, the Austrian economist Ludwig Von Mises said: “A stock market is crucial to the existence of capitalism and private property.

I have to admit I like to read and hear Jonah Goldberg, author, speaker and frequent contributor to National Review. As he himself admits, he is not Christian (Jewish), but he also admires and respects Christians. Sometimes, Goldberg can be a little “colorful” though he is also very often very funny. His wit is quick. […]

#TrumpBible
30 Aug 2015
Yesterday my wife, Mary Ann, read me Eric Metaxes’s tweets poking fun at Donald Trump’s refusal or inability to provide his favorite Bible verse. We both had if not exactly a gut-laugh at least a pretty good chuckle. Trump’s comments (or lack thereof) have caused a bit of a stir in Twitter land over the […]

In one of the rare triumphs (likely fleeting–see below), the Republicans actually let the Import-Export Bank die a most well-deserved death by refusing to renew its charter which expired at the end of June. For those that don’t know, this government program is known as “Boeing’s bank,” since it subsidizes loans to foreigners who are […]

Today’s Democratic Party is apostate – not that the Republican Party is the epitome of virtue, mind you (far from it). But as a Christian voter primarily faced with these two “evils,” I find the political options to be hypothetically similar to having to choose between voting for Lot or casting a vote for the […]
