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 …
The Left’s Gift to Greybeard Paleo-Conservatives
So let contemplate for a moment the coming opportunity to end human abortion in America. And let us also contemplate how the opportunity for this was created by the lack of impulse control on the left. But we must begin by noticing an instinctive and characteristic difference between conservatives and progressives. That difference is this. …
Gorsuch A Time as This
As I have commented already, I am enjoying the early phases of the Trump administration a lot more than I thought I was going to. The most recent manifestation of this was Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch for a place on the Supreme Court. And not only did he nominate someone apparently true blue, but …
Surrounded With Beer Cans
If, under the new covenant, the promises of Deuteronomy can legitimately be applied to a nation today, then it is possible for us to sort out what we should think about immigration biblically. If the promises of Deuteronomy do not apply, then we (and the refugees) are cast upon our own resources. The whole subject …
Modified Stationary Freak-Out

After …

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, …
A Diem That Needs Some Carping
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. On the Obama/Kerry side of things, their behavior more closely resembles a one-sided junior high girls’ slap fight. But before getting into all that, a …
Founders with the Fantods
So yesterday the Electoral College met and formally elected Donald Trump as our next president. The Left had been applying significant pressure to get electors to flip, and to vote for candidates other than what the popular vote of their state had determined for them. The end result was that two Trump electors were faithless, …
What Shouldn’t Oughter
This is already a very cheerful time of the year, but the Lord apparently thought I needed to be cheered up even a little bit more, and so He very kindly arranged to have the Democrats start yelling at us over the startling news that the Russians hacked our sacred electoral processes. Now I do …
