Greetings! After a long rest, a website redesign, and new studio (for us and others), we are back with a new video blog. This time we tackle The Kavanaugh Nomination. With our redesign, all videos are viewable on the front page. The video is posted and ready to view at www.bereansatthegate.com.

As suggested in last week’s post, acrimony and ugliness continue to be the norm as the week progressed, unfortunately to include some comments in this blog.  Predictably, those with preconceived biases in favor of or against Mr. Kavanaugh generally weighed in with moral cases that buttressed their positions.  For those generally in favor of Mr. […]

So rings the many voices on the many media platforms of our age. Consider this one: Christine Blasey Ford, I believe you. I believed you before I knew who you were, before you revealed your name. I believed you before the details of sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh were revealed. Goldie Taylor […]

Not much analysis needed here:  HT to Greg Mankiw.  Mr. Reagan had his own flaws, even on trade.  Yet his convictions were always in the right direction, as this piece clearly articulates.  All we know for sure is that aside from their difference in morals, Mr. Trump is no Reaganite. Mr. Sasse, are you ready […]

The White House has been rocked by two accounts this week, both of which make an uncomfortable allegation: President Trump is not really in charge of the White House. Bob Woodward’s explosive new book, Fear, portrays an executive in a perpetual state of turmoil with senior staffers routinely thwarting the President’s desires through either inaction, […]

The theater of Supreme Court judicial nominations became even more than ever an exercise of partisan political purposes yesterday and undoubtedly continues today.  But I want to point out the obvious in this:  that these individuals are not acting in the best interest of the country per se, and certainly not according to their constituents’ […]

Much of Mr. Trump’s economic success has been challenging the way things have been done under the Obama administration, and charting a decidedly different course.  Tax cuts instead of tax hikes, deregulation instead of regulation.  And it’s working; yesterday’s revision of 2nd qtr GDP was positive, and the composition was even better–consumer spending was down […]

***This is a three-part series on Living the Truth in Politics. Part 1 sets the stage of how truth is treated in the political realm. Part 2 looks at how the Bible treats truth, especially for the Child of God. Part 3 examines the obvious conflict and attempts to answer a question: how does the […]

U.S. Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) death has rightly reverberated across the United States. We are blessed with few actual larger-than-life figures, even in our celebrity-obsessed age. McCain was one of them and he will be missed. This is not an obituary, for many excellent ones are already available–The Washington Post’s by Karen Tumulty is particularly well […]
