Sometimes the Good Guys Win
I am writing this column to inform readers of some good news.
Beware the ObamaCare-Industrial Complex
The danger of a Republican bailout of Obamacare is mounting with every passing day. Moderate Republicans calling themselves the Problem Solvers Caucus are quietly negotiating with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to throw a multibillion-dollar lifeline to the Obamacare insurance exchanges.

Hating America: NFL Player Refuses to Stand for National Anthem
A National Football League player refused to stand for the national anthem Saturday during a preseason game — and in doing so he disrespected the military and the nation.
Tragedy in Charlottesville
After the horrifying events in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday there is a firestorm of attacks against the president alleging that his condemnation of the violence was not strong enough.
It’s Not Just About the Sex
I maintain a “Top 20” list of my favorite novels. According to my own rules, a book is not eligible for the list until I have reread it. Without comparison, my favorite is Dostoyevsky’s *The Possessed*.
How Donald Trump Is Driving the Democrats Crazy
You would think the Democrats would be on cloud nine.
Sanctuary for Whom?
President Donald Trump issued an executive order to stop subsidizing cities that obstruct immigration law. Chicago filed suit in response. Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to continue collecting federal dollars while ignoring federal policy.

Rahm Emanuel Welcomes Criminal Aliens
The “value” he seeks to uphold is the self-proclaimed right to flout federal law to protect known predators.
The Follies of Appeasement
Haven’t we’ve learned yet that appeasement doesn’t work? I’m not talking about when the weak-kneed leaders of Britain and France went to Munich in 1938 and essentially gave Czechoslovakia to Hitler to buy a brief period of peace before Europe and the rest of the world went to war. I’m talking about our more recent dealings with Russian, Iran and North Korea.
The Gang That Couldn’t Threaten Straight
It was inevitable. Eventually, President Donald Trump would treat a foreign adversary as harshly as Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was on the receiving end of the alliteration heard around the world, when Trump promised “fire and fury” if Pyongyang continued to threaten the United States.
The Post’s Propaganda
I was furious after I finished reading my copy of yesterday’s Pyongyang Post, I mean The Washington Post. It is hard to tell the difference. The left-wing media’s hyper-critical coverage of President Trump is matched only by the propaganda coming from North Korea’s state-run media.
The Prescient Relevance of the Manhattan Declaration in an Age of Caustic Division
The public square is a hostile environment of competing identity politics. However, not all identities are treated equally. Those adhering to Christian orthodoxy do not enjoy the same respect, dignity, tolerance, or acceptance as other identities, despite the constitutional guarantee of religious liberty.

Google’s firing of software engineer James Damore for daring to express politically incorrect ideas in an internal memo is the latest example of the political left’s tyrannical propensity to suppress speech, thought and dissent.
Google’s ‘Tolerance’ Requires Repression
Would a fair society have exactly the same percentage of men and women, of whites and blacks and Latinos and Asians, in every line of work and occupational category?
By Firing the Google Memo Author, the Company Confirms His Thesis
Most of the mainstream media refers to the former Google engineer’s leaked internal memo as the “anti-diversity memo.” Recode calls it “sexist.”
