Responding in a Christ-Like Manner on Social Media

Editorials and columns

President Donald Trump has received a lot of backlash for his recent posts on TruthSocial of himself as a "Christ-like" figure and his criticism of Pope Leo's views on the Iran war. Most people on social media are familiar with the often belligerent nature of Trump's posts, and, for the most part, his devoted supporters defend him. This time, however, was different, as many conservatives thought Trump went too far in his war of words with the pope and his AI-generated image of himself laying his hand on a bedridden man with the American flag, the Statue of Liberty and the adoration of ...

Hey Tucker: Christianity and Islam have a long and very bitter history

Editorials and columns

Tucker Carlson, the onetime cable news darling of the Right, lost his mind around the time he was fired by Fox News on April 24, 2023. He has evinced this in countless ways -- including his now-infamous fight with a demon, which he seems to have lost. But perhaps the most obvious symptom of Carlson's brain rot is his yearslong soft jihad, now waged with increased fervency, to inject and normalize Islam within the cultural and political bloodstream of the overwhelmingly Christian American Right.

Because there has been a split in reality between the two major parties. There are reality and fantasy which can no longer be resolved as one side has resorted to imaginary thinking.

Transgender fantasies allow surgery and hormones but in fact cannot change the XX or XY genes. People ...

Overwhelming prosperity

Letters to the Editor

I do not think that we need more republican members in Congress. They have shown that they can not govern, when they seem to take away from the people. When the current president came into office he said everything would get better. Everything seems to me, everything got worse. When this term started he said he would be a leader of peace. He started with making Canada the 51st state, then he wanted to take Greenland. Since that did go well for him, the Secretary of Defense started bombing boats in the Caribbean, then kidnapped the leader of Venezuela, then talked about taking ...
