I’m not a fan of the Game of Thrones series. I’ve never watched an episode but I read a little bit of the book and it wasn’t really my cup of tea. Given that I’m not a fan, I think most people have heard about the outrage over the shows depicting the rape of one…

I am a political junkie. I am a student of political science and I watch the news far more often than I probably should, but I like knowing what’s going on and being able to engage in discussions that the power players are having. That being said, I’ve recognized that for most Americans political speak…

I’ve read blogs, seen videos, and heard audio from people around the world talking about these crazy horn-like sounds coming from the sky. The sound is described as deafening and lasts for several minutes. I’ve not touched on this in the past because most readers would blow it off as non-sense but now that well…

Let me first say that I don’t think I’ve seen such a unanimous outcry against a company’s decision in a long, LONG time. In case you somehow haven’t heard, Starbucks promoted the idea to have baristas mark customers cups with a sticker or to write #RaceTogether in an effort to start a conversation of race…

“So where are all these people who profess to care about gay rights? Their absence suggests to me that agreement has broadly been reached that religious sensitivities trump human rights, as long as the sensitivities in question are Islamic.” – Douglas Murray, columnist for The Spectator (UK)

I was recently speaking with my wife about the state of the Church. Later I read the following that I felt summed up our conversation quite well and wanted to share it with you. “True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time. The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from…

I’m sure most have seen the updates on BBC, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, RT, or any other news outlet about the attack on French satirical paper Charlie Hebdo. I’ve only ever seen a few covers of the paper and everyone has seemed like it would surely offend somebody. But let us not forget that the…
