Every one of the several news services to which I subscribe email updates reported last night: Trump returns to Twitter! Elon Musk had been conducting his own Twitter poll on the subject — I think his purpose was facetious, but nobody seems to grok Musk’s sense of humor. The vote was close. At one point […]
Jesse Colin Young turns 81 this Tuesday. I wrote up this installment of my Sunday Morning series a year ago in honor of his 80th birthday. Listening to Albert O hosting Highway 61 Revisited on WUMB yesterday, I was alerted to his birthday this week. It vaguely reminded me that I had put something together […]
At least five people were killed when a gunman opened fire in a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs Saturday night; thankfully, he was stopped by brave patrons who subdued the attacker until police arrived. It was another horrible mass shooting, and it’s deeply sad to think about the lives lost and the broken hearts of […]
When did all this high praise and “move of God” language turn into criticism? One thing I admire (and some hate) about Trump is that he hasn’t moderated, hasn’t changed, hasn’t bowed to pressure to be different or act differently. He’s the same person who exploded on the political scene in 2016. So, was it […]
Churches help people do lots of things, including — as it turns out — kill themselves. If you’re unfamiliar with the Bible-based United Church of Canada, here’s information from its website: The United Church celebrates two sacraments — baptism and communion — by which we encounter the presence and goodness of God. Each person is […]
Yep, happy birthday to Joe Biden, the first president to reach age 80 while in office. Needless to say, Mr. Biden’s nearly two years in office have been anything but happy for the tens of millions of Americans who’ve struggled under his disastrous presidency. The worst part? Every bit of it has been intentional. Remember […]
It sounds like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is trying to appeal to the base with his first moves. As we reported earlier, McCarthy said that if he became the Speaker he would remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. But according to McCarthy, that isn’t the only person he […]
If this week’s Sunday shows are any indication, a few Democrat and default Dem/Never Trumper representatives are taking badly the news that broke late last week that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) sidled into “most likely” territory for the leader of the incoming GOP House majority. A new Lefty narrative has been sent out: use shame […]
There was a horrible shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in which five people were killed and 18 people were wounded. As my colleague Streiff reported, the shooter had previously been arrested for felony menacing in 2021 but was somehow out free to allegedly commit this crime. But people on the left […]
One of the biggest oddities of the last election wasn’t that the polling was way off, leading to a surprise Republican victory. Instead, it was that the polling was largely correct, leading to a surprise Republican disappointment. Contrary to the impression most have of how the last mid-terms went, something of a red wave did […]
