Do you believe evil exists?
Over the past several months, as you read countless stories about college students aligning with the butchery of Hamas, did you think you were witnessing something blatantly wrong? Did you know in your heart that you were watching something beyond the pale, something that was just bad, something that was evil?
These past few days, as you’ve been bombarded by our nation’s celebration of the seventh deadly sin of “pride” and our denial of biology, our denial of genetics, our denial of science, and our denial of self-restraint.… Continue Reading

It’s June, and for the next 30 days, we will be inundated with our country’s monthlong celebration of pride.
We will see it everywhere. It will be pervasive. The rainbow’s ever-increasing colors will be inescapable. We will see it in the news. We’ll see it at Target. We’ll see it in Walmart. We’ll see it in our public parks and at our schools. We’ll see it in our theaters. We’ll see it on T-shirts, umbrellas, bumper stickers, and even at our churches.… Continue Reading

Some things are wrong regardless of intent or a claimed level of authority. If laws conflict with the ultimate authority — God — they are invalid, as the great British legal scholar Blackstone (and later, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.) observed.
In most situations, parents have the God-given right to direct their children’s upbringing. But there are limits to that authority, such as evidence of child abuse.
Exhibit A is the lawsuit by parents, doctors and lawyers who are trying to get the U.S.… Continue Reading

[Last] week, the Scottish government passed the Hate Crime and Public Order Act. In summary, it is now illegal in Scotland to “stir up hatred” via government-prohibited words and thoughts. Violators are subject to arrest and subsequent punishment of up to seven years in prison.
Almost immediately upon the law’s passage, a groundswell of reaction occurred. Scottish police were inundated with incident reports, totaling more than 4,000 complaints within the first 48 hours.… Continue Reading

Sometimes, you have to laugh at how obvious the leftists and their media have become in their quest to orchestrate “build back better.” When they’re not shoving irreversible surgery at vulnerable children or abusing the legal system to persecute a former president, they’re pushing the latest iteration of climate hysteria.
This past week, the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Dubai, of all places, released an agreement that calls for “transitioning away from fossil fuels,” which The Washington Post called “the root cause of the climate crisis.”… Continue Reading

Headlining this week’s news from the heartland is the story of an up-and-coming country-western singer known as Tennessee Jet, who has just been canceled from a venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma, because his new song “2+2” is deemed hateful, intolerant and transphobic by the management of the Mercury Lounge, where he was scheduled to perform.
You might rightly ask, “What exactly did Tennessee Jet say or sing that was so terrible?”
Well, here are the lyrics of “2+2” in their entirety.… Continue Reading

I think we all remember where we were when we heard the news on June 30, 2021. Our long national nightmare was finally over. At long last, Americans – my countrymen – were going to be given a 3rd gender option on all State Department documents like passports. It was moving beyond words.
Besides correcting the discriminatory oversight of those humanoids who are neither male nor female, it was the surest sign yet that, as promised during the 2020 Biden campaign, the “adults were back in charge.”… Continue Reading

I’ve been writing about Denver-area baker Jack Phillips for over a decade now. It’s clear to me he’s going to be badgered into the grave by authoritarians intent on punishing him for thought crimes. From the first time his name appeared in the news until this day, the media have misled the public about him, about the case and about the law.
The latest chapter in Phillips’ Kafkaesque saga involves a transgender lawyer named Autumn Scardina, who demanded Phillips create a pink cake with blue frosting to help celebrate a gender transition.… Continue Reading
