Minnesota’s Political Apparel Ban “Incapable of Reasoned Application”

The United States Supreme Court released today its decision in an important First Amendment case coming from the state of Minnesota, Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky. In an emphatic 7-2 opinion, the Court declared unconstitutional an ambiguous law that banned “political” apparel at polling places on Election Day. Not having defined what exactly the law […]

On Smartphones, It’s About You

Controversies are not uncommon to Facebook. This is why I usually don’t pay too much attention to them. But a friend made me notice the school teacher who posted what some of her students told her on a school assignment, and it is so sad it is worth noting. Did you see it? The teacher […]

Should We Embrace a Libertarian Conservatism?

The degree to which government should be involved in moral choices has been a topic of debate through history. Though conservatives advocate for small government, they distinguish themselves from libertarians (broadly speaking) in the realization that government is involved in moral choices, whether it wants to be or not, because moral issues are part of […]

Time for Boy Scout Nostalgia to Die (Along with the Organization)

I was a Boy Scout. This was an organization that helped me be more confident in my manhood by focusing on the values that make men honorable and productive citizens.  One of the main features of the program was that the sort of tension and role-play pressures that come along with trying to impress girls […]

White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative

[…]

On Little Alfie

For three days now, I’ve sat down to write this column. Words are hard to find when faced with an injustice so egregious. But this knot on my throat just will not go away, so I must plow through and join the chorus rallying to his defense. Little Alfie Evans deserves that each and every […]

The Explosive Nature of Abiding

Sometimes we misinterpret Jesus’ familiar call for us to abide in Him found in the 15th chapter of the Gospel according to John. Abiding seems like a tranquil, passive, resting sort of call. And it is, in some respects. Jesus repeatedly calls us to this rest, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and […]

The Anti-Christian Religious Test Continues

You can add another chapter to the left’s escalation of anti-Christian bigotry. Right on the heels of bigoted attacks against Russell Vought and Amy Barrett, the left is once again imposing its unconstitutional religious litmus test against judicial nominee Wendy Vitter, who has been nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of […]

Love in Times of Hate

The mystery of love is profound. It is incredible how much of our lives we structure around something about which we know so little. This generation, especially, seems fixated on the idea of love. But just that — the idea. Few are willing to pursue true love. As with freedom, we have inherited a whimsical […]

Not Your Grandfather’s Pornography: the Problem, the Harm, and a Policy Response

As the country wrestles with the widespread problem of sexual assault (as embodied in the recent “#MeToo” phenomena) and how to respond to it, we must consider the multiple factors that lie at the root of the issue. The rapid spread of online pornography, with its decisive sexual objectification of women, is one area that […]

Another Win for Religious Liberty

A nomination for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is usually not a controversial thing. But, as I have told you before, when Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) decided it was appropriate to impose a religious test on the nomination of Russel Vought for this position, his nomination became a top priority […]

Phony Liberal Outrage on Full Display

Liberals are in disarray. They are only united in their hatred of Trump, but little else. And it is showing regularly in Congress these days. Just a few days ago, after President Trump presented a consensus budget deal, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) broke into a tantrum on the House floor, staging a record-breaking, […]

Pray for our Press

The mainstream media suicide continues. It is incredibly sad to watch. It is extremely troubling, especially when you think about the role and purpose it is supposed to serve. This weekend’s coverage of North Korea by many outlets was simply disgraceful. It is now a proven, tangible, quantifiable, irrefutable fact that you cannot trust the […]

No, I’m not a paid spokesperson for Gerber. However, in case you haven’t heard, Gerber chose one-year-old Lucas Warren from Dalton, Georgia, as its 2018 Gerber baby.  What’s so special about that? Lucas is the first child with Down syndrome to be chosen. Well done, Gerber! Whether they know it or not, Gerber is showing […]
