“Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand new!,” said Hobbes. “A new year… a fresh clean start,” replied Calvin. “It’s a magical world, Hobbes, ol’ buddy… let’s go exploring!” Twenty (!!!) years ago today, Calvin and Hobbes came to an end. Ten years later, I would finish my first year at the helm of RedState. And now ten years after that my time has | Read More »
“History doesn’t repeat itself. The media does. So too does a Republican Establishment that has seen all its more winnable moderates from Dole to McCain to Romney lose.”The media typically begins any Presidential campaign with comparisons to Harry Truman. The Reagan re-election in 1984 had the comparison. The Bush re-election in 1992 had the comparison. The Clinton re-election in 1996 had the comparison. Humorously, the | Read More »
Just a reminder that I’m in filling in for Rush today from noon to 3pm ET.
If Rubio fizzles in Iowa, unable to get third there, and then fizzles in New Hampshire, he starts to slow down significantly as voters and the press look to see who did better than Rubio in New Hampshire. If it is Chris Christie, we’re going to hear a lot about him as we head to South Carolina. And because of Christie’s terrible gun views, the south is going to consolidate even more quickly to Ted Cruz. That makes it harder for Rubio to regain any momentum.

The media would be on to a new story by the time the Magi showed up. By the tie Herod started slaughtering every male child under two, the Circle | Read More »
“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!’” Luke 2:13-14 (ESV) “We had walked in the garden with the king then, after exile, could do it no more till then. God had come back and it was time to | Read More »
I believe in the Doctrine of Vocation. It is a Christian doctrine that means I am supposed to glorify God in all that I do. Every year for Christmas Eve I do a show on WSB Radio, the nation’s most listened to news/talk station. I do a deep dive into the meaning of Christmas and the theology behind this baby born to die. If you | Read More »
“What all of the people attacking Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% fail to understand is that the outsiders are showing more grace to their own than the insiders are showing to their own.”I have no idea who on the Cruz campaign keeps telling Cruz to go on Fox this week, but I think he has not done himself many favors. Most every | Read More »
“I have been blessed beyond measure, my cup overflows, the grace of our Lord sustains me, and He guides me on paths on which I’m unworthy to walk. I go where the good Lord leads. ”I have had six months to plan for this post and as a now professional wordsmith I am struggling here on a plane home from Las Vegas to put words | Read More »
“Arguing about how pure a conservative either Cruz or Rubio is, is like arguing over FL and IF diamond clarity.”When Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 94% ran for the Senate, I backed him in 2009. He was around three percent in the polls. I declared his candidacy a hill to die on. I’d do it all over again. I adore the guy. Jim | Read More »
Christian conservatives should not be shy about standing up for Wheaton College right now. It is getting attacked after putting Professor Larycia Hawkins on leave. The public relations campaign waged on Larycia Hawkins’ behalf would have you believe she was put on leave for pledging solidarity with muslims. That is simply not true. Professor Hawkins put on a veil, took a picture, and announced on | Read More »
So much of the press was so hoping for a throw down between Trump and Cruz that they avoided the obvious. Tonight was always going to be about Cruz v. Rubio. They had to do it. It is the start of the shake up. Cruz got the better of Rubio, barely, on the immigration issue, but Cruz did misstate his position on legalization. I don’t | Read More »
There are four men on a stage in Las Vegas, NV, none of whom will be President of the United States. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) 36% appears to be campaigning for President of Iraq. Rick Santorum is campaigning for next year’s ground hog. George Pataki got lost on his way out of an old folks home. Only Mike Huckabee had a viable | Read More »
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 94% and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% are friends of mine. I have no interest in supporting one over the other. I’d be thrilled with either one as President. I intend to do two posts. One on the merits of Rubio. One on the merits of Cruz. I see friends tearing each other up over | Read More »
