It's less about choosing to repent and more about being moved to repent. To God alone be the glory.

If you think the issue is the mere fact that they are prosecuting Trump at all, then you fail to understand the issue. The issue is not their prosecution of Trump but rather the timing thereof (2023-2024). They could have done it in 2022 or else 2025, but they pulled the trigger on this during...

Haley has picked up a lot of negatives this year, not least of which is her taking first one side and then the opposite of various issues. For example, in June she thought "the law should stay out of it" regarding genital mutilation surgeries on minors, but in December she said "there should be...

Why? Note to Readers: I hope that he points to polling data, because there are several metric tons of examples where polls have predicted wins that never materialized, sometimes by embarrassing margins. For example, a poll in late 2012 showed Santorum down in abysmal single-digit range in Iowa...

See, this is exactly why the left wants Trump to be the Republican presidential nominee going into 2024. The mainstream media will be dominated by news about Trump throughout almost the entire year, with wall-to-wall coverage of embarrassing and damaging information and updates about him. This...

How to Reconcile Biblical Orthodoxy and Evolutionary Science, Part 2 of 2 I seem to have successfully reconciled biblical orthodoxy and evolutionary science by distinguishing between redemptive history on the one hand and natural history on the other, with significant help from John H. Walton...

How to Reconcile Biblical Orthodoxy and Evolutionary Science, Part 1 of 2 Preliminary advice Your massive, unedited wall of text is off-putting. This is a subject that I am deeply interested in, but I couldn't bring myself to wade through that huge flood of text. I offer the following advice as...

It only looks that way to those who believe that the polls reflect the reality on the ground. Do you? And if so, why? I mean, we have had years, even decades of election results showing the polls were wrong, sometimes wildly wrong. THE POLLS: In late 2007, several polls showed that Giuliani...

Biden would never step down. He would have to be removed by the DNC (and I suspect that he will be).

That would require ballot access, and right now they have practically none. Their candidate is on the ballot in one state (AK), with write-in access in just six other states (AB, IA, PA, NJ, VT, and NH). So, I hope you live in one of those 49 states and cast a vote for DeSantis, because putting...

That's presuming Trump being the nominee. What if someone like DeSantis were the nominee? Would people feel they have more in common with the Democrats than DeSantis? Really? Or what if the contest was Trump versus DeSantis? Would people feel they have more in common with Trump than DeSantis...

Correct. The Democrats originally wanted Jeb Bush as the Republican nominee—because a Clinton-versus-Bush contest would be an easy win, right?—and they wanted Trump as a chaos agent to split the Republican base. (According to Hillary's personal office in New York, Bill Clinton talked Trump into...

"How can you believe that the Democratic party wants Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee when they are burying him under political prosecution?" The active lawsuits against Donald Trump right now—four indictments consisting of 44 federal charges and 47 state charges, for a total of 91...

According to creationism, sure. Oh, wait, that's according to evolution, too. My wife's cat gave birth to a litter of ... baby cats.

This is not a thing. The idea that these palm trees track sunlight by moving through the forest—by growing new roots toward the light and letting the old roots die off—"is a myth that tourist guides find amusing to tell visitors to the rainforest," according to biologist Gerardo Avalos, who...
