Why aren't liberals fun anymore?

Why aren't liberals fun anymore? They've lost their sense of humor.

This may be a moot issue by the time you read it, but this writer says the Republicans need to vote on Kavanaugh or get wiped in the elections for not doing their jobs.

Feel distracted when you pray? That's a good thing.

Even with Garoppolo out, the 49ers aren't interested in Colin Kaepernick.

The education establishment has gone insane. A first grade textbook champions Gavin Newsom as a champion of gay rights.

Here's some background on the woman chosen to question the witnesses at the Kavanaugh hearings.

Michelle Obama encourages people who know nothing about nothing to vote. I don't personally subscribe to the "get out the vote" philosophy.  I believe that only informed voters ought to get to vote, perhaps even having a simple test. Something trivial, like "name your two senators and the vice president".  A lot of voters would fail that one.

Did you get invited to a Sukkot feast.  Here's some background on the Jewish celebration and the end times.

Johnny Cash

I have been a Johnny Cash fan for over sixty years. Here's a terrific essay about his music and evangelism. One of the reasons I don't like modern music is that they pump us the accompaniment track so loud you can understand the vocals. Listen to Johnny Cash and you can understand every word the first time you hear it.

Who knew that Billy Graham performed on one of Johnny's albums.  Here are Johnny and Billy at the Grand Old Opry in Tennesee.

Is the Catholic Church falling apart? This writer covers the issue in detail.

Bob Woodward looked hard for two years for evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. He didn't find any, nor did anyone else.

An unusual byproduct of organ transplants. An organ donor gave cancer to four recipients.

The FBI closed an isolated sunspot research facility on September 6 without explanation. People were convinced it was due to alien activity.

Christian rock. Larry Norman's biography: “Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?,”

By the time you read this, the battle may be over--an excellent essay on the Supreme Court nomination.

A thoughtful review of Tomas Sowell's book on racial disparities.

Maybe you've quit answering the phone. Why nobody answers the phone anymore.

Want to get hired as a professor? Better not be a member of the NRA or a conservative Republican.

Which documents are more reliable? The writings of Aristotle and Plato or Mathew, Mark, Luke and John?

Minneapolis hired a Somali Muslim cop who shot a woman. They did this despite the fact that he was not suitable to be a policeman to make a statement a inclusiveness.

The Kavanaugh letter

The latest on the Kavanaugh secret letter that Feinstein has been holding. This might have come out in the news, but I am posting it in case it doesn't.

Google held their regular Friday employee meeting after the election. Breitbart got a copy of the video and posted it here. Apparently the leadership and many employees were quite dismayed and surprised at the outcome. I have seen many recommendations to watch the whole thing. Apparently being smart about computers doesn't translate to real life.

Want to get elected in New York? Just lie about everything.

St. Johns University actually seeks to educate its students. More perspective here on future proofing students.

Fun facts about the NFL's tolerance towards protests. Apparently it depends on what you are protesting.

On September 11, 1683 another great conflict between Muslims and Christians was fought with the fate of Europe in the balance.

Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently won the Democrat primary against a powerful entrenched Democrat. She loves socialism, and like most wants to take your money. She has expensive tastes in clothes,

A couple of fun hurricane videos:  watch this weatherman struggling to stand up but keep watching the passersby.  Here's a Ferris wheel spinning in the wind.  And this flag on the frying pan tower offshore.  Scroll down to see what the frying pan tower is.

Chris and I have been enjoying the Kavanaugh hearings.  I don't see how any Democrat could vote against him after watching him answer questions, but some of them clearly have no business being in office.  Consider this exchange with Kamala Harris, who is running for President.  Here's a little excerpt from Ben Stein's diary.   And the Democrats are bring out the kids to testify about jurisprudence. Ben Sasse's speech at the hearings was the strongest moment. He wants congress to do its job. Watch the video.

Here in Minnesota we had record breaking cold up north. Where is global warming when you need it?

Most of us don't know much about Nancy Pelosi except that her time is past and she is having mental issues. I found this article in Time about her history interesting, though I still don't agree with her on much of anything.

The Academy Awards have a problem: nobody goes to see the movies that win the awards. In response, the Academy created a new category: “outstanding achievement in popular film.” Now they are backtracking.



Obama received an award for "ethics in government" from the University of Illinois.  This puts a whole new meaning on the word "ethics". Read the links in the article.

The Babylon Bee is a fun parody site with a Christian perspective. Check out this article on 8 steps to finding the right church.

The people don't care what the media says anymore. Why Trumps record trumps the spin.

Remember the Alamo? Liberal educators want to remove "heroic" from the curriculum.

This homecoming queen kicked the game winning extra point.

Most nutrition information is bunk, but of course you figured that out when eggs and butter became good things.

This student was stopped from handing out "Jesus loves you" valentines. Now she's suing for free speech.

If there's any question that civility is dead, it was confirmed by the Kavanaugh hearings.
