January 4th, 2018 6:33 PM
I do not make it a practice to comment on the work of fellow columnists, though occasionally some care to comment on mine, which is fine. I'm happy to help them make a living. An exception will be made here because of New York Times "conservative" columnist, Bret Stephens.
Dangers of Government Control
January 4th, 2018 1:52 PM
We are a nation of 325 million people. We have a bit of control over the behavior of our 535 elected representatives in Congress, the president and the vice president.

It's a Start: BBC Set to Expand Religious Programming
December 31st, 2017 12:52 AM
ANGLESEY, Wales -- The UK Daily Mail has again published a story about a subject that has become a recurring theme this time of year.
