Last night’s Law and Order: SVU, “Depravity Standard,” deviated slightly from its procedural playbook, dropping its usual investigation to focus almost entirely on the trial of a depraved child murderer. The episode opens when Lewis Hodda (Tom Sizemore), who had previously confessed to the crimes, fires his attorney and rejects the plea deal he had negotiated, instead deciding to take his chances…

Love can be about giving up one’s own life, but it is never about making someone else die. On Wednesday, abortionist Willie J. Parker penned “Why I Provide Abortions” for the Opinion Pages of the New York Times. While he at first morally opposed abortions, Parker later decided that performing abortions fulfilled his call to be the “good” Samaritan. Today, he insists, abortion “respond[s] to our…

On Wednesday, this audacious headline and image which lumped together law-abiding gun-owners with Islamic terrorists – complete with a gun superimposed over the ISIS flag – appeared on the front page of the New York Daily News:  

Did we hear that right? On Tuesday, The View ladies devoted a few minutes to the Syrian refugee crisis. Reacting to Republican candidates’ proposals, they criticized allowing only Christians refugees into the United States, because, after all, even Christians can be bad. Case in point: Adolf Hitler – according to Whoopi Goldberg. 

In the Fresh Off the Boat episode "Huangsgiving," recurring gay character Oscar Chow brings his new boyfriend Michael to the Huang's Thanksgiving dinner. He excitedly introduces him to Jessica, saying, "Michael listens to NPR!" - and he proudly displays the tote to prove it. 

So, this happened. During an international soccer match between Turkey and Greece (I won’t use the term friendly, for reasons you’re about to see and hear. In addition to the fact that Turkey and Greece hate each other) a moment of silence was called for, to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris.Only one problem. There was very, very little silence as Turkish fans started booing.

While the media censor women who regret their abortions, reporters are only too happy to hype stories from women who have no guilt over their abortions. Case in point: A front page article by the Washington Post recognizing the positive abortion campaign “#ShoutYourAbortion.” Last week, the social media campaign, which urges women to tell their abortion stories, went live with a website…

Just being one of the girls! Barbie’s biggest fan is in fact a little boy. You heard right. Mattel has partnered with Italian fashion house Moschino to create a limited edition Moschino-inspired Barbie doll. But in the new commercial the stylish Barbie is completely outshined by the cheeky little boy who declares “Moschino Barbie is SO fierce!” and then places a purse accessory on Barbie’s arm.

Is television too graphic? That’s an argument that could be discussed ad nauseam, but this week’s decision by some networks to delay explicit television episodes, proves that even Hollywood knows how closely it can mirror a violent reality.

The devil made them do it. Hollywood has sunk to a new low with Fox producing a new crime-drama-horror series premiering early next year called Lucifer. The devil is the detail in this series centered on Satan himself. But if you’re thinking the King of the Underworld is going to be ghost like carrying a pitch fork in his hand, you’re wrong. Typical Hollywood has elevated the evil one portraying…

Out of respect for the victims of the very real terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday, television networks are making some last minute changes in programming. The originally scheduled episode of CBS’ Supergirl apparently featured terrorist bombings so it was pulled from running Monday night and replaced with a Thanksgiving episode that introduces a major new character instead.

Fox’s Minority Report has given us several glimpses into the future in its short run. And pretty much all of them stink. There was the hometown of our two main Pre-Cog characters that was ravaged by global warming, the Redskins changing their names to the Red Clouds, Obama’s face on the $500 dollar bill, and now, as if you didn’t already want to throw yourself out of a window...I now present to…

There is no denying the horrors of the terrorist attacks on Paris, and even some liberals and their media pals are beginning to chafe at the left’s refusal to call radical Islam by its name. So maybe we’ve reached a tipping point, and will henceforth be allowed to speak frankly about who the enemy is. Unless of course the terror victims are Israeli.   Israel faces acts of terror rooted in…

Was a teen runner disqualified for wearing a Bible verse? That’s the question Fox News commentator Todd Starnes is putting into the national spotlight. On Nov. 7, West Forsyth High School runner John Green finished in 3rd place in the Georgia 5-A cross-country state championship. Immediately afterwards however, he was disqualified for wearing a white headband with a Bible verse on it. The three…
