In God’s grand design for this world, He masterfully created man and nature, and in such a way that man and each critter would not be alone. And God admonished Noah, after the flood Genesis 9: And God blessed Noah...

One of the dangers of BLM is that it pulls on the heartstrings of those who really care about life—both blacks and whites.

While focusing almost exclusively on race as the source of injustice and harm, BLM engage in the politics of racial grievance.

Thousands of parents in District 211, the largest high school district in Illinois, should be outraged. And anyone who rightly fears the ravenous appetite of the slavering dumb beast we call the federal government should be equally outraged. The beast’s...

In recent weeks, a barrage of new evidence has come to light demonstrating what was once common sense. “Family structure matters” (in the words of my American Enterprise Institute colleague Brad Wilcox, who is also the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia).
