At every level of human interaction, when people hate enough they become irrational. The hatred between most (not all) Israelis and Palestinians has been festering for generations and it is now spilling forth before the eyes of a disbelieving world in an unteathered violent frenzy. This is something...

Maybe the counter questions are also helpful: 1) How do we follow Christ's instruction to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, yet at the same time do violence to them? 2) How do we obediently "turn the other cheek" and refrain from repaying evil for evil, yet harm or kill...

My dear daughter, a brilliant 27-year-old who is leaving her mark in the world as a behavior analyst working to better the lives of autistic kids (and who is also working toward adopting a high-needs child), was surprised to learn in a discussion in our living room this weekend that Donald J.

Yet the eight led by Gaetz, sided with the Democrats to oust McCarthy. Makes no sense. I suppose Democrats could have acted to s...

Speaking of missing evidence...this from a CNN article on the Hospiral blast site: Marc Garlasco, the former defense intelligence analyst and UN war crimes investigator, says there are signs of a lack of evidence at the Al-Ahli Hospital site. “When I investigate a site of a potential war crime the f...

Hasn’t Congress passed enough legislation? Seems we’re all better off when they’re gridlocked. It isn't about legislation. No one really expects any major new legislation out of a gridlocked congress. It is about doing their constitutional duty to pass a budget and fund the government. It is right ...
