Confronting the False God of Politics

December 22nd, 2022 5:46 PM

When King David ruled over all of Israel, one of the many Psalms he wrote included this verse: “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.” (Psalm 146:3-4 NIV) On Election Night last month, some TV anchors and commentators were already speculating over who would run for…

Death Postponed Again This Christmas

December 18th, 2022 10:56 PM

Sixteen years ago, right around this past Friday, I looked into my wife's eyes and told her she was going to die. A week before Christmas in 2006, I lost my job. My friends who'd been running RedState.com with me told me we were out of money. It was time to go find a new job. My wife had gone to a doctor's appointment. I heard her pull up and was heading down to tell her I was out of a job.…

Embarrassing NYT: Elf on Shelf a 'Spy,' But No FBI Spy in Trump Camp?

December 28th, 2021 8:49 AM

Reporter Daniel Victor ran an embarrassing expose on….Elf on the Shelf in Sunday’s New York Times. “In a Tiny, Jolly Spy for Santa, Watchdogs Spot Big Brother.” But behind the silliness lurks a liberal bias. In the Biden Administration, the New York Times is abruptly rediscovering liberal virtues like free speech and privacy, concepts it denigrated for years in the quest of…

The Beginning of the End

December 27th, 2021 10:19 AM

Sometime just over 2,000 years ago, contrary to the song, it was not a silent night. In Bethlehem, a young woman gave birth to a baby in a stable. The story went exactly as one would tell a story if one did not want the story taken seriously. The first witnesses were shepherds, men so unreliable that their testimony was inadmissible in court. Key eyewitnesses were women, also seen as…

Progressives are miserable people Exhibit #784,963. The Washington Post sends out a morning newsletter called Opinions A.M. It’s got all the fascinating takes from Ruth Milbank and Sargent Rubin and E.J. Capehart. It also has guest opinions from experts and commentators who run the ideological gamut from left-wing to really left-wing, and the editors give big headline treatment to op-…

It makes sense that a man who wrote and sang a popular song celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ would celebrate all births. But it wasn’t always the case for Jose Feliciano, whose “Feliz Navidad” is a Christmastime staple.

'Morning Joe': Politician 'Stealing Christmas' Is 'An Act of Love'

December 4th, 2020 10:06 PM

It’s hard to locate anyone as bitter and cold as the co-hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, but on Friday, they found politician in Canada who hates presents, singing, and laughter almost as much as they do.

Woke ‘Last Christmas’ Sinks as Another PC Debacle

November 30th, 2019 1:30 PM
Audiences paying to see Last Christmas got more than a yuletide romance. The film, starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding, toes a politically correct line. That includes broadsides against Brexit and clunky pleas for tolerance. Tolerance for the pro-Brexit movement, apparently, proved in short supply. Audiences were similarly scarce.

Gifts That Keep on Giving

November 27th, 2019 11:09 AM
Thanksgiving and Christmas seem to come earlier each year. Though the dates remain the same, the promotions from advertisers don't. Christmas decorations are appearing before Halloween. Merchants can't wait for Thanksgiving to end so they can promote “Black Friday,” itself beginning days and even weeks before the day after Thanksgiving.

Three Good Men; Three Great Kids’ Books

December 20th, 2018 5:23 PM
Men get a bad rap. They’re blamed collectively for rape culture, violence, war, poverty, climate change and all other manner of global suffering. They’re forced to apologize on college campuses for their chromosomes, anatomy and athleticism. They’re vilified incessantly in women’s magazines, on women’s talk shows and at women’s confabs promoting the male-bashing #MeToo movement. Not me.

Sam Bee’s Christmas Special from Hell: Hating ICE, Obsessing Over FNC

December 20th, 2018 4:50 PM
TBS’s Full Frontal host Samantha Bee aired a commercial-free, half-hour Christmas special that no serious person really asked for that painted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a diabolical government agency that’s the antithesis of Jesus Christ’s ministry looking to deport people at will, harm future Christmases, and partner with those evil bums at Fox News.

Celebs Mock Melania: WH Christmas Theme Looks Like a ‘Horror Movie’

November 27th, 2018 12:47 PM
On Monday, Melania Trump unveiled her theme for this year’s White House Christmas decorations and, right on cue, celebrities and the media have started attacking her for it. The woman can’t get a break as last year her holiday style choices were described as being from “hell,” and now as something out of a “horror movie.”  

NYT Mocks Trump-Worshipping Evangelicals With His Visage on Ornament

December 18th, 2017 9:09 AM
The front of the New York Times Sunday Review gifted readers with condescension toward both conservative Christians and Fox News watchers from contributing religion writer Amy Sullivan: “A Very Merry War on Christmas.” The text box: “Conservative media spawns a new religious worldview: ‘Fox evangelicalism.’” Not only did the paper tar all evangelicals with a fringe idea of Trump as holy, it threw…
