Bari Weiss resigned from The New York Times yesterday. This news will be greeted with yawns by most Americans, but it marks a critical moment. The American paper of record, perhaps the most famous newspaper in the world, will no longer pretend to value opposing points of view within its pages. Weiss stepped down with […]

“Churches Were Eager to Reopen. Now They Are a Major Source of Coronavirus Cases.” So says the headline of this NYT article. Now I think churches are a risky place for transmission of the virus,* especially through singing. So I’m interested in this argument. Major sounds like churches are a big part of the problem […]

The Supreme Court struck down Louisiana’s law that required physicians who perform abortions to have hospital admitting privileges. The ruling, in June Medical Services v. Russo, fits seamlessly with the Court’s 2016 decision in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, which considered a nearly identical Texas law. The story here is not the ruling, or the […]

I can still remember vividly my first conversation about how hard the effects of racism are on African-Americans. It was about 1995 and I was stationed in Colorado Springs.

The Bullington Diatribe Chronicles will run occasionally for the amusement of some, the facepalming of many others, and the inconvenience of all. The following is satire….obviously.

The decision fits comfortably with recent precedent, but it is surprising given […]

So begins Cat Stevens song from the ‘70s Oh very young, what will you leave us this time, You’re only dancin’ on this earth for a short while, And though your dreams may toss and turn you now, They will vanish away like your dads best jeans, Denim blue, faded up to the sky, And […]

The Bullington Diatribe Chronicles will run occasionally for the amusement of some, the facepalming of many others, and the inconvenience of all. The following is satire….obviously. On June 5, a petition was started to cancel 2020, which gathered several million signatures before being sent to the heavenly courts. Bereans at the Gate has obtained the […]

President Trump has pledged to use military force if governors and mayors are unable to pacify cities across the country. As more stores, government buildings, and monuments are burned or razed, troop deployments to Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Los Angeles, or New York are still possible. President Trump has the legal power to use the armed […]

As our stock of reasons for rescinding the 2020 experience continues to mount, I wanted to wax historical for a moment, just as the rest of us are continuing to wax hysterical. The whole Floyd saga has set me thinking over the past few days, adding not a few moments of reflection and challenge. Here, […]
