Theology That Bites Back
As Yogi Berra once purportedly said, “You can observe a lot by just watching.” I have been most interested in watching how the Russian-election-hacking story played out, linked, as it has now been, to the president’s spectacular accusation against the former president this last weekend. The president said that Obama had ordered Trump Tower be …
Introduction: So let us talk for a moment about the term “fake news.” Why are we talking about this all of a sudden? Why is this a thing now? During the campaign there were various stories that circulated on the Internet, made up of whole cloth, some of which were not flattering to Hillary. In …
So now would be a good time for all of us to listen to Rand Paul on big data security concerns. And here is why. Michael Flynn has just stepped down as the president’s National Security Advisor. My concern is not whether he was wise or foolish in his interaction with the Russians, or whether …

After …
Introduction: If our family is anything to go by, a number of Christians are having trouble processing the difference between their feelings about the presidential election and the presidential transition. Before the election, I could scarcely bear to watch Trump for more than a few minutes. I understood the entertainment value that some found there, …
The current conflict between Israel and the United States is a really odd one. For the Israelis, the whole thing is a matter of life and death, a serious conflict.
