Terrorist attacks rocked Manhattan, New Jersey, and Minnesota this past weekend. In response, Donald Trump’s son tweeted a straightforward Syrian Skittles analogy on Monday night. In it he compared admission of Syrian refugees when by all accounts some will be … Continued
I woke up yesterday morning surprised to learn that media outlets were running stories about a supposed Laura Ingraham Nazi salute at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Or at least I wish I had been surprised to learn that. Yes, yes. We … Continued
Is there a common thread between Secretary Clinton’s emails and Black Lives Matter? I think so. There’s at least one, anyway – maybe more. It’s all entirely too convenient for the Democratic Party. But look! Over there! It’s a change … Continued

Is persecution coming to America? Yes. I’m sad to say I believe it is. At this point it doesn’t seem like a question of if, but rather of when. So what will we do when Christians are persecuted in America, and … Continued
