    What’s the Best Way to Deal with a ‘Political Animal’?0

    Rome Burned and Nero Lost His Empire – What Will Happen to Europe this Century?0

    You have doubtless heard the well-worn euphemism that Rome’s emperor at the time, the decadent and unpopular Nero, “fiddled while Rome burned.” The expression of course has a double meaning: Not only did Nero stroke his violin making music while his people suffered, but he was an ineffectual leader in a time of deepening crisis. Europe is burning again, today. Literally and

    Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Solid Advice for the Holidays0

    Lin-Manuel Miranda is about as liberal as they come.

    The Brilliant Reason This School Decided to ‘Cancel’ Christmas0

    It seems there’s always some Grinch that wants to ruin Christmas every year. This year the Grinch award seemed ready to go to a British school in Yorkshire whose teachers told students that Christmas celebrations would be banned from its halls.

    “All the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.”—Acts 17:21 To some, Jordan Peterson is a breath of fresh air. To others, a guru. Many find him and his ideas to be dangerous. Still others see him as a sign of
