Lying Liars
All politicians lie, because they are human and all humans lie. The question before us is this: If President Trump lied to FBI Director James Comey, should that “lie,” lead to impeachment?
Now Hear This!
I’m technically disabled — but not mentally disabled the way some of my foes on CNN seem to believe I am. No, my disability is hearing loss. In one ear I’m nearly deaf.
Shameful! Trump Nominee Attacked for Following Teachings of Christ
First they came for the wedding planners and the bakers. Then they came for the Catholic farmers and the Baptist high school valedictorians. And now, the secularists are coming after the evangelical public servants.

Sorry, Class Warriors. Unions Aren’t Coming Back.
Here is a tale of two socioeconomic trends and one seductive myth.
Educator Punished for Graduation Prayer, Referencing Jesus
Dr. Kent Medlin is known around Willard, Missouri, as one of those guys who speaks from his heart. For the past 14 years, he’s been the superintendent of schools. He’s a good man, a Christian man.
Prelutsky & Goldberg Go at It
Bernie Goldberg and I used to be on friendly terms, although we had never met. He wrote very complimentary forewords to a couple of my books, and I, in turn, let him post my articles on his website for free.
The New Conservative Legal Mainstream — and Why the Left Is Worried
Senators Chuck Schumer and Patrick Leahy claimed that newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch was not in the “legal mainstream.” They were referring to the “living Constitution” approach to constitutional interpretation. That interpretative approach, still thriving today and embraced by the liberal left, says that the U.S. Constitution should be a document that judges regard as one “that evolves, changes, over time, and adapts to new circumstances, without being formally amended.”

Pro-Trump Gays Banned From Pride Parade
Those who preach tolerance and equality are normally the least tolerant and least equal of all. That’s why I was not terribly surprised to learn from Fox 46 that organizers of a gay pride parade in Charlotte, North Carolina, banned a group of pro-Trump gays.

Get the Shovels in the Ground
Sensing that his Scottish enemies had blundered at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650, Oliver Cromwell said, “The Lord hath delivered them into our hands.” Philip K. Howard, were he the exulting type, could rejoice that some of his adversaries have taken a stand on indefensible terrain.
Brightness on the Edge of Doom
I stood a few yards from the vice president of the United States this week as he talked about the genocide of Christians carried out by the so-called Islamic State. The cultural feeling is that nowhere is safe. The fatigue with the violence is real and overwhelming.
Music Case a Major Key for Religious Liberty
Colin Collette led worship at the Holy Family Catholic Community for 17 years, but his personal life wasn’t exactly in harmony with the church’s teachings. Three years ago, when Collette announced his same-sex engagement, leaders at Holy Family had no choice but to let the music director go.
Sanders Slander
Earlier this week, the Senate Budget Committee convened to consider the nomination of Russell Vought to be Deputy Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget. What happened next was an astonishing display of left-wing religious bigotry.
Hillary Lacks Remorse of Conscience
Oddly, she seems completely sincere, as if she believes the alternative facts she’s peddling.
Town Stands up to Atheist Bullies, Refuses to Remove Cross
It was way back in 1930 when the good people of Neosho, Missouri, installed a giant, lighted cross in the Big Spring Park. The cross, about 60 feet long, was the centerpiece of the town’s annual Easter sunrise services. And while the sunrise services ended many years ago, the cross remained. For the past 87 years, not a single person in the community complained about the emblem — until last May.
In Defense of Sean Hannity
I don’t watch Sean Hannity very often. Mainly, that’s because I currently watch Bret Baier and Tucker Carlson, and I find that with the repetition of the news and some of the same guests, two hours of Fox is as much as I can take in a single day.
Last Mango in Paris
Washington is in constant crisis. Naturally the media blames President Donald Trump. But his critics are the ones to blame: they still don’t accept the results of last November’s election.
Trump Won, Comey Minus One
Trying to be objective — and that’s sometimes difficult for me when it comes to politics — I don’t agree that former FBI Director James Comey’s congressional testimony was equally good news and bad news for President Trump. Trump came away a decisive winner.

More Paris Madness
Even if Donald Trump had stuck with the Paris climate accord, it doesn’t mean a hill of beans as far as the threat to our coast. And given factual past events, one would expect that.
What’s Wrong With the Claim That ’97% of Climate Scientists Agree’ About Global Warming?
A variety of studies have purported to find an overwhelming consensus among climate scientists on global warming. However, the studies rarely specify what it is to which the scientists agree.
The White House Needs Office Help
Has anyone out there written the book “The Art of the Presidency”? If so, please send Donald Trump a copy. Overnight.
