Steve Almond’s Failed Ambush of Laura Ingraham

Some people make a name for themselves by building something — a business, a following, an audience.

Others try to make a name for themselves not by building anything but just by trying to tear down what others have built.

Steve Almond has set out to do the latter. For the past few years he has set out to tear down the National Football League through a book he wants to sell. The NFL is a millionaire-creating machine, responsible for making many young men very rich, and the majority of those young men it provides generational wealth are Black. The league also creates jobs for thousands of others, from franchise front offices to the vendors in the stands, the parking attendants outside, and retailers who sell NFL-branded clothing and other items. Wrecking the NFL would destroy all of that, plus take away one of the few rallying points our nation still has, because everyone thinks the Washington Commanders is a joke of a name.

The #ClimateChange activists really, really don’t understand how many Americans live- They just blithely claim we can go out and spend $10,000 to $20,000 on things they insist we need

It was early Monday morning, March 12, 2018, when we received five inches of heavy, wet snow at our farm in Estill County, Kentucky, and we lost electricity, in our all-electric home, sometime before 4:30 AM. No, I’m not relying on memory; I’m actually kind of obsessive about recording things in my At-A-Glance Daily Diary, and I have a whole shelf of them, dating back to 1986, missing only 2001’s, which was lost somehow.

Fortunately, it was 42º F and sunny outside by afternoon, which helped some, but it still got down to 52º F inside the house. My wife, having to work the following day, drove to Lexington to stay at our daughter’s apartment, so she could do something really radical like take a shower in the morning. There was just enough sort-of warm water in the water heater for me to take a quick shower on Tuesday morning. While my wife could leave, I had to stay at home to care for the critters

USC Bans “Field Work” Because It’s Racist

“Phrases such as ‘going into the field’ and ‘field work’ may have connotations for descendants of slavery.

The European Union’s War on Israel

A confidential leaked document, composed by the EU mission in east Jerusalem, shows that the Europeans are actively working with, and on behalf of, the Palestinian Authority to take over Area C of the West Bank — although the area was clearly agreed on, by both Israel and the Palestinians, until further negotiations, to be under Israeli control.

The EU, in short, is encouraging the Palestinians not to return to the negotiating table with Israel. Instead, the EU is telling the Palestinians that the EU will help them steal land as an alternative to reaching a peaceful settlement with Israel through negotiations.

Guns And Liberty, 2023: Part 3

IS KILLING MORALLY JUSTIFIED?

This is an ancient argument about which countless volumes have been written.  I can only touch on a few of the salient points, but sufficient for our purposes.  Since Western culture is built on the foundation of the Judeo/Christian tradition, and America is, by and large, a Christian nation, which tolerates and for the most part embraces all faiths, I’ll focus on that tradition.

Disclaimer: I do not claim belief in Christianity is the only way to come to an understanding of the morality and social utility of laws against murder. Though I am a Christian and make no apologies—imagine that: apologizing for belief in the Creator of all!–I merely use that vehicle for analysis for the purposes of this article.

The Sixth Commandment, in the King James translation of the Bible (1769), states:
