Dr. Ben Carson’s whole life has been very unusual, so perhaps we should not be surprised to see the latest twist — the media going ballistic over discrepancies in a few things he said. Years ago, when I was writing some autobiographical sketches, I dug up old letters, to check out things that I remembered […]

Since I began reading the Bible, I have been fascinated by the story of Jesus’ encounter with two of his apostles on the road to Emmaus, a village close to Jerusalem, in one of his resurrection appearances. The two men were despondent because Jesus, who had been crucified and buried just a few days before, […]

Not even one mention! Did Clinton demand that Maddow avoid the topic as a condition […]

President Obama’s unilateral rejection of the proposed KeystoneXL oil pipeline that would have brought petroleum and jobs to the U.S. is another in a long list of issues dominated by politics rather than common sense, economics and science. After seven years of dithering on Keystone, the president said he was following the recommendation of Secretary […]
