Shock! The Biden Administration plans to increase taxes later in 2021 as part of a larger legislative package. Many conservatives reflexively say this is going to slam the economy (and I don’t disagree, especially the way the Biden administration plans to go about it), but the point of this blog post is to argue that […]

Long have been these days of quarantine, and if lockdown activists have their way, longer they shall be. For my own two cents, I actually found the first few months of lockdown rather charming in a way, a position which I wager likely puts me in the minority…probably not just the minority but a far […]

Or alternatively, who will rescue us from the American Rescue Plan Act? We are ever so close to the Democrats completing their $1.9T blowout to reinvigorate the economy. Undoubtedly the House will pass it quickly (likely today) and Mr. Biden will sign it. Key features include extending the child tax credit, direct payments to citizens, […]

32 And when the Conservatives saw that Buckley delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Schlapp and said to him, “Up, make us leader who shall go before us. As for this Buckley, the man who brought us up out of the land of inconsolable intellectual irrelevance, we do not know what […]

The Equality Act is a direct attack on religious liberty. The legislation, now working its way through the House, stands little chance of becoming law, but if passed, it would amend elements of the Civil Rights Act to include “sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity)” as a protected legal class, alongside race, color, religion, […]

Recently, I came across a video calling for the US to maintain its, “Mexico City Policy.” In the video, a variety of folks from across the continent speak out against American money coming overseas to fund abortions in Africa. This policy blocks funding to family planning organizations that direct people to or provide funding for […]

I don’t think Billy Joel had today’s example of cognitive dissonance in mind when he wrote his song. Whatever he meant, reality is now in the eye of the beholder, and it’s sliding in the most ironic way possible. Today, New York Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against Amazon, since “Throughout the historic pandemic, […]

“We did not send him there to vote his conscience. We did not send him there to do the right thing or whatever he said he was doing. We sent him there to represent us.” Dave Ball, chair of the Washington County GOP, unloaded on U.S. Senator Pat Toomey’s (R-PA) vote to convict former Pres. […]

Earlier this month in Cedarville University’s Chapel, Kevin Jones challenged CU students and faculty to take some time this month to read or watch a movie about a prominent African-American in their academic discipline to understand their contributions to the broader field. That challenge was a delight to me, and I quickly shared a video […]

For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases. Whatever your political persuasion, I think most of us could agree that Donald Trump’s biggest harm to our country was manipulating a subset of his supporters to believe that what was in his interest, was the country’s deepest political need.
