The Church Got a Reckoning. What About the Public Schools?
There is another institution that is entrusted with America’s children. One that exercises enormous authority over their day-to-day lives, shapes their understanding of the world, and demands the confidence of their parents.
The American public school system.
Do we have millstones for them?
Affordability—The Political Bigfoot
A crisis is 2008. A crisis is 2020. Mass unemployment, collapsing demand, shuttered businesses, and genuine economic paralysis.
We have the opposite. Unemployment is low, real consumption is up a trillion bucks, capital is flooding in, consumer confidence is rebounding, and poverty is at an all-time low. The only people calling this a crisis are the ones who need it to be one.
Witches Are Not Feminist Heroines
Witchcraft, historically associated with darkness and deception, has been repackaged as feminine empowerment, spiritual wisdom, and liberation from oppressive religious traditions.
Apparently, the witch isn't a servant of darkness anymore. She's a victim of the patriarchy.
How convenient.
Will A Bad Yo Mama Joke Cost Republicans Ohio?
There's a reason Yo Mama jokes worked on the playground. Everybody understood they were jokes. Nobody was expected to take the insults seriously. But when you put somebody's estranged mother on television to accuse her daughter of lying about childhood abuse, you've left the playground and wandered onto the set of The Maury Povich Show.
Dodgers Are Making Baseball Great Again
The Dodgers’ commitment to excellence reminds us that winning championships, rather than merely participating, remains the objective.
Rapping Is Just A Job, And Not A Very Important One
There’s this weird expectation these days that if you are fortunate to make money doing something creative, you have to speak about it like it is a sacred heirloom. The writer can’t simply write. The painter can’t simply paint. The musician cannot simply make music. You apparently have to speak about it like it is a piece of your soul.
For some people, it is. For others, it’s just something they happen to be good at.
Vince Staples has a healthier view of work than many of the people criticizing him.
#SheToo: The Lindsay Clancy Club
Well, Lindsay Clancy was sleep-deprived.
That's the new defense for Lindsay Clancy, the 36-year-old Massachusetts woman who brutally murdered her three children. They've dropped the postpartum depression angle—mostly because it's nonsense. In a sane world, we wouldn’t call that depression. We’d call it evil.
The Heel Turn of LeBron James
Hollywood itself underwent the same transformation: a place founded as a Christian refuge from vice became an international playground of indulgence, vanity, and liberal conformity.
The same heel turn happened to LeBron James.
Amazon Cart Identity Crisis
Today, we basically get our identities from our Amazon carts. Seriously, when did a water tumbler become a personality? We treat identity like it’s something that can be purchased and delivered to our doorstep.
Magic City Monday Will Be The Largest Sex Trafficking Operation In History
The title of this piece sounds hyperbolic. Trust me, it's not. Magic City Monday is shaping up to be the Super Bowl of the Sexual Olympics. All the pimps, prostitutes, and pedophiles will show up and show out.
Are Black People Capable of Turning The Other Cheek Anymore?
Racial idolatry is going to keep a lot of people out of heaven. It keeps people from staying obedient to Christ, making His word malleable to the whims of modern culture. When following Scripture becomes optional instead of mandatory, the result is a society full of bruised faces.
There's No Sacred Honor In Politics Anymore
Dems don’t give a damn about children. They just want to score points on the political football field. And that’s my problem with the Epstein saga. People are using innocent children to score points against a political opponent they don’t like. What happened to sacred honor? What happened to fighting battles mano-a-mano? Man to man. Leave the children out of it.
