The thing that most jumped out at me when I learned of former President Jimmy Carter’s death Sunday night was the thought that back in his day, the media didn’t keep things from you. Not like they do today. Carter...

On January 29, 2021, I was at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center. I could not believe what I saw. Here is what I posted that day on my Facebook page: It would be hard for me to put into words...

In a previous column for the Stream, I warned that if Donald Trump is defeated at the polls tomorrow, it could land all of us people of faith and advocates for freedom in prison. The hyperbole was grounded in the...

If Donald Trump had not won the White House in 2016, we would all be in prison right now. Okay, maybe not all of us. But some of us. And some of us are in prison right now because he...

It's still there. Racism in the familiar sense. The Buffalo shooter deliberately massacred black people because they were black. However much the exploitation and misuse of the death of George Floyd may have wearied us, however rotten the Anti-American racial grifters are — Ibram X. Kendi and all that — it must be said that racism remains a problem for America. A bigger problem now, in fact, that at earlier points in my lifetime.

It's still a bit early. The dust from Election 2023 has not yet settled. But I don't see a lot of silver linings in these results.

Bobby Kennedy was assassinated 55 years ago yesterday. We ought to look back with gratitude to God for the leaders He sent us in the 1980s.

CNN host Don Lemon was recently kept off the air (only for a few days). His story reflects the Left's deep hatred for conservative women.

I'm not fine with the lunatics in our own chattering class that want to help Person of the Year Zelensky push us into World War III.

Peter Wolfgang explains why he doesn't believe polls showing strong support for same-sex marriage. Recent Disney bombs help prove his point.

A straight Republican vote for me this year. No surprise, you may think. "Peter Wolfgang votes Republican!" is not exactly news. But I don't automatically vote Republican. I'll vote for a Democrat if I think he's the best candidate and he upholds the same belief in the sanctity of human life that I do. There used to be some, even in Connecticut. Not anymore.

Kanye West ought not to be lionized as a Christian celebrity. It almost never ends well, for the celebrities and the Christians who lionize them. We’ve seen how badly that can go even with openly believing celebrities like the actor...

In its love letter to celebrity pastor Tim Keller, the Wall Street Journal rightly notes (down in the sixth paragraph) that he is no liberal: "Dr. Keller preaches a conservative Christianity to his cosmopolitan flock, in which marriage is between a man and a woman and abortion is murder."

I was not against Liz Cheney just because she held Donald Trump responsible for January 6th. I’ve said all along that Trump created a powder keg by claiming the election had been stolen and then on January 6th, he lit the fuse. (And that included treating his loyal vice president Mike Pence horribly.)

I remember when Ayatollah Khomeini first issued the fatwa calling on Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie for his book The Satanic Verses. It was 1989 and I was a freshman student at Manchester Community College. The school put on a...

I am so pleased that Justice Anthony Kennedy did not die, but retired. I am so pleased that he is still alive today to read Dobbs v. Jackson’s evisceration of the Casey v. Planned Parenthood decision he wrote.

What strikes me most in progressive Christianity is how what is good and bad, right and wrong, is defined by the world, not by the church.

Such a way of living together is possible — not easy, and costly to minorities and requiring of majorities real care for others. But possible. And desperately needed.

Pro-life is anti-violence. Pro-abortion is violence by definition. And that is the difference between their movement and ours.

Using your time and energy as a pro-lifer and not a gun control supporter is wise. Plenty of others will fight the causes of polite society.
