    Is it Nazi-like to be a nationalist?

    Should "nationalism" be encouraged? Is it simply a matter of putting your own country's interests first and of saying "no" to an unhealthy globalism? Or is it a path to xenophobia, following in the footsteps of the Nazis? Or, perhaps, is it simply a matter of perception, the word "nationalist" meaning one thing to one group and something entirely different to another group?

    The Man Who Wants the Courts to Make Him 20 Years Younger

    You knew it had to happen sooner or later. After all, if a biological, chromosomal male who identifies as female can have his birth certificate changed to female, why can't a 69-year-old man who feels like he's 49 have his age legally changed?

  • Why Do So Many Hollywood Elites Despise President Trump?

    Why Do So Many Hollywood Elites Despise President Trump?

    It's often said that you can judge a man by his friends, but you can judge him even more by his enemies. And there's a lot of truth to this. When you see a certain group of people united in their hatred against someone, it prompts you to ask: Why do they perceive this person to be such a threat? Why do they hate him (or her) so passionately?

    An Appeal to President Trump to Help Unify the Nation

    In the aftermath of the midterm elections, we are officially a divided nation. It is the House vs. the Senate. The left vs. the right. War has been declared by every side, and no one is willing to compromise, understandably so.

    If you claim to be an evangelical and plan to vote red on Tuesday – in other words, you are pro-Trump – your faith will be assaulted and your integrity will be challenged. Here are some useful talking points you can use when interacting with friends, family, co-workers, and critics.

  • Responding to Inane Arguments Against Armed Guards

    Responding to Inane Arguments Against Armed Guards

    I don't know if President Trump was right in calling for armed guards at all houses of worship. And I don't know if stricter gun controls would lessen the ever-rising tide of bloodshed in America. But I do know bad arguments when I see them. And a recent article in the Huffington Post was replete with such arguments.

  • God Is Neither Republican Nor Democrat

    God Is Neither Republican Nor Democrat

    When it comes to the political scene today, the Republicans are not always right and the Democrats are not always right. The same goes for the Independents and the Libertarians. Unfortunately, when it comes to the political divide, we tend to view things in black and white terms.

  • Was Megyn Kelly the Victim of Political Correctness?

    Was Megyn Kelly the Victim of Political Correctness?

    Let's put aside the question of whether NBC was looking for an excuse to dump Megyn Kelly because of low ratings and controversies. And let's put aside whether she had a history of racially insensitive remarks. Instead, let's ask one question only: Was her "blackface" comment racist or insensitive?

  • When Jewish Blood Is Shed in a Synagogue

    When Jewish Blood Is Shed in a Synagogue

    Premeditated, cold-blooded murder is always unspeakably evil. But it is even more evil when the innocent, unsuspecting victims are children in a school or worshipers in their congregational building. How can we even describe monstrous evil like this?

    I Have a Word for CNN, the Left, the Hollywood Elite, and the President

    From Donald Trump to CNN and from leftwing radicals to the Hollywood elite, we have been on a collision course with extreme anger boiling over into violence. All are guilty, all are to blame, and all have a responsibility to speak responsibly. It's time to temper the rhetoric. Otherwise there will be blood on the streets.
