Only In America
Just in case you are biblically illiterate (as much of the American church seems to be these days), Jesus wasn’t white, wasn’t a racist, didn’t carry a weapon and didn’t endorse political parties as the drawing on the left depicts. He did feed the hungry, as depicted on the drawing on the right. He had […]
Axing Kimmel
The headlines had it wrong. Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t taken off the air for anything he said about Charlie Kirk and his killer. It was his comments about Donald Trump that got him in hot water. When the news story first broke that the late-night talk show host had been taken off the air, I was […]
