Fourth of July, Christian-warrior style

Let's not forget: The Fourth or July is about the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. And the greatness of the Declaration of Independence -- leading to the greatness of America -- is this: the recognition that certain rights come from God, not government.

My first-person brush with news bias: ‘You’re fired!’

Talk of the media town lately has focused on the bias of the press, the fake news of the mainstream and whether journalism as an above-the-fray art is dead. My two cents? Dead as a doornail. Dead as dead can be. I know full well. I was fired for just the type of news bias that President Donald Trump blasts on a near-daily basis.

Evangelicals, the last holdouts on gay marriage line

Resistance and opposition to same-sex marriage has been crumbling among Americans -- save for one specific segment of society that's proving the last wall to even wider acceptance: Evangelicals.
