    The ‘masters of the universe’ are humans, not gods

    With today’s internet giants having so much power, to the point of influencing what we think, what we buy, how we vote, and how we live, it is all too easy to forget that these “masters of the universe” are just mortals, here today and gone tomorrow, mere flesh and blood.

  • Is there blood on the hands of leftist provocateurs?

    Is there blood on the hands of leftist provocateurs?

    Yet the same politicians and pundits who shouted “White supremacy!” from the rooftops in the Rittenhouse case have been silent when it comes to the elephant in the room in the Brooks’ case.

  • The massive difference between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and BLM

    The massive difference between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and BLM

    The difference between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the BLM movement is the difference between light and darkness, between love and hate. It is a difference that needs to be emphasized for the sake of the dignity of all black lives, every one of which matters to God and every one of which should matter to us.

  • A different point of view vs. an opposing worldview

    A different point of view vs. an opposing worldview

    Really now, isn’t that what we always accuse the left of doing, namely, repeating the same mantras and talking points without nuance or balance? Is our side so weak that it can’t survive scrutiny or pushback or different points of view on secondary issues?

  • From ‘intergenerational intimacy’ to ‘minor-attracted persons’

    From ‘intergenerational intimacy’ to ‘minor-attracted persons’

    Obviously, while there is a world of difference between consensual acts between two adults of the same sex and the rape of a child by an adult, it is striking that arguments in favor of destigmatizing homosexuality mirror arguments in favor of destigmatizing pedophilia and pederasty.

  • The tragic racial politicizing of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial

    The tragic racial politicizing of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial

    But even if Rittenhouse knew exactly who they were — although, to repeat, there is no concrete evidence that he did — that doesn’t mean that the shootings were related to white supremacy.

  • Get used to the heat and get in the kitchen

    Get used to the heat and get in the kitchen

    You’ve heard the saying, “If you don’t like the heat, then get out of the kitchen.” Well, that only works if you’re not called to be in the kitchen. For those of us who are called to be there, it would be better to say, “Get used to the heat and get in the kitchen.”

  • Why was Jon Gruden cancelled but Jeffrey Toobin was not?

    Why was Jon Gruden cancelled but Jeffrey Toobin was not?

    Again, I believe in forgiveness. And redemption. And mercy. And restoration. And second chances. I am simply appealing for a level playing field and for the end of the cancelling madness.

  • What many of us white Americans still don't understand

    What many of us white Americans still don't understand

    A few years ago, after months of race-related discussion on my radio show, I put forth a simple thesis: White Americans often do not see racism when it is there. Black Americans often do see racism when it is not there.

  • Whatever happened to Trump being restored to the White House?

    Whatever happened to Trump being restored to the White House?

    The truth be told, as a Trump voter in 2016 and 2020, I was privately hoping that the prophecies of his restoration to the White House were true and that the courts would find massive voter fraud, overturning the elections.
