First off, prayers to Donald and Melania Trump and their team that have tested positive for Covid-19. They will have the best of care, and I’m hopeful for a quick and complete recovery for all. You can sense the big Mo has definitely shifted towards Mr. Biden in the last few weeks. The NYT accomplished […]

The NYT reported that it has reviewed Mr. Trump’s tax returns for years, and they suggest years of paying little to no federal taxes, as Mr. Trump allegedly uses money-losing ventures to offset earnings from other companies he owns, and he also uses his companies to fund his and his family’s lavish lifestyle. Mr. Trump, […]

So said the headline to last night’s DRUDGE REPORT, as President Trump is expected to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court later today. I am delighted with the pick, and despite the fact that this adds fuel to the fire, I believe we have no reason not to quickly confirm Mrs. Barrett. The […]

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday of complications from pancreatic cancer. She was 87. As a law student, Ginsburg graduated first in her class at Columbia Law, but found it difficult to land a position. Her mentor told a judge friend he would no longer send students to him as clerks if he did […]

The bitter fruits of the progressive war against police continue to mount; an ill wind blowing no one any good. Over the weekend we witnessed two policemen in LA ambushed and shot repeatedly while in their squad car, and, protestors reportedly tried to block the entrance to the emergency room, with at least one allegedly […]

That’s my prediction. Yes I know, he who lives by the crystal ball eats lots of broken glass.

So why wouldn’t interest rates rise with all this borrowing? Doesn’t […]

You need to start by reading Brian Riedl’s excellent post from last week over at National Review Online, How the Far Left Fails Basic Math, as it’s my jumping off point. One of my key frustrations with the socialist/progressivist domination of the Democratic Party is their complete disconnect with reality in what they propose to […]

The week began with Mr. Biden trying to halt the slide in key battleground states over Mr. Trump’s modestly effective convention of blaming Democrats for ongoing social unrest. You know me. You know my heart, and you know my story, my family’s story. Ask yourself: Do I look to you like a radical socialist with […]

If you are looking for explosions, capes, or fingernail-gnawing intensity, neither The Assistant nor A Hidden Life* are for you. Instead of action, you get detailed compositions; instead of snappy dialogue, you get characters at the moral crossroads. While different in topic, scope, and the particular Beelzebub’s lurking unseen, the two films share a deliberate […]

Most people resonate with the Biblical admonition to help the orphan and the widow, and they are imaging their creator when they do, since God does have special compassion to the vulnerable. So its natural and good when people and ministries focus on helping people improve their lives, in many different ways. But some ways […]
