Kelly Taking Over

  

I avoided writing about Anthony Scaracmucci last week when he was unceremoniously escorted off the White House grounds by security. He lasted less than two weeks as Trump’s new director of communications. In fact, he hadn’t even officially begun the job; he was just taking advantage of the notoriety by being very public with his statements. Those statements are what led to him being shown the door, a particular White House door that a number of staffers have gone through… Read more »

Let Fox Be Fox Once Again

  

Today’s post will be tinged with sadness—sadness over some loss of trust in what was, and still can be, the best news organization in the nation. Two decades ago, I received my news primarily through CNN and MSNBC. Fox was not yet on my cable system. Both CNN and MSNBC leaned left, but there were enough sensible people, at least a hint of balance, that I could reasonably watch them. I was delighted when Fox News finally became a staple… Read more »

Evangelicals & Trump: Decision Time

  

So Donald Trump is not going to be present at tonight’s debate. He says Fox News doesn’t treat him fairly.

He’s never forgiven her; apparently it has become a… Read more »

Unfair Debate?

  

The conspiracy theories about the first GOP debate abound, mostly centered on the questions posed by the moderators.

In my view, Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly, and Bret Baier did a valuable service for all the Republican candidates on that stage. They made them come up with answers to some hard questions… Read more »

Duck Dynasty & the Homosexual Controversy

  

I don’t hunt. I don’t fish. Skinning an animal or cleaning fish are not on my bucket list. I don’t concoct ingenious, makeshift contraptions to make things work. I’d make a lousy redneck. Yet I absolutely love Duck Dynasty. I resisted it for over two years, but so many people were referencing it, and I heard that the Robertson family are Christians, so I finally succumbed to watching an episode. I was hooked from the start. The writing is clever,… Read more »
