Old-Fashioned Jew Hatred Is Back
As the violence between Israel and Hamas escalates, anti-Semitism fills Internet boards and in some cases, it spills out on the streets
It is one thing to support a State for the Palestinian people. It is another to use vitriolic hate speech to delegitimize Israel and the Jews who live there. This hatred is clearly not directed solely towards Israel, as the angry attacks are indiscriminately perpetrated against world Jewry. In the information age, anti-Semitism is able... Continue Reading
Social Security Crisis Closer Than You Think
The Social Security crisis that appears to be coming in 2033 is actually here now
“The 2014 report projects depletion of the combined Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance trust funds in 2033. Social Security has no borrowing authority, and after the trust funds are exhausted there is only enough payroll tax revenue to cover a projected 77 percent of benefits; meaning future benefit payments must be reduced by about...

Think Things Are Getting Better For Girls In China? Not So
A girl in China is twice as likely as a boy to die in the first year of life; if she makes it past her first birthday, her chance of dying triples
While “feminists” sites can blather on about deodorant and armpit hair, the rest of us might turn our eyes and hearts to the children of China, and find ways to pressure the government there to recognize the inherent value of all chidren: male, female, healthy, ill, or disabled. While Jezebel tells women to get fighting... Continue Reading
How To Make A Just War Unjust In One Simple Step: ISIS Edition
If ever there was cause that meets the criteria of classical "Just War" theory, I believe this is it
We seem to be voluntarily entering a war with no intention of success. This will have the effect of emboldening these barbarians and causing more, not less, misery and destruction in the long term. The irony is unbearable: We have here an opportunity to get involved in a truly just and moral cause, but because of... Continue Reading
Is Hindu Nationalism Behind Crackdown on India’s Christians?
Christian minorities in central India face a new threat as Hindu extremists in more than a dozen village councils have passed restrictions on religions other than Hinduism
While India’s constitution declares the nation secular in the sense that all religions are supposed to be treated equally, persecution still exists and stems primarily from Hindutva, the ideology that to be Indian is to be Hindu and that other faiths are foreign.

Is It Ok To Attend A “Gay Wedding”?
Paul’s counsel regarding whether it is permissible for Christians to visit pagan temples where idols are worshipped: No.
“Jesus reached out to sexual sinners” he did not at any time “attend a ritual that celebrated immorality.” He doesn’t believe Jesus would ever have attended such an event “unless the purpose in attending was to call people to repentance.”… “What good would I be at a ‘gay wedding’ anyway since I would be visibly...

Same-Sex Marriage Ban Survives Challenge in Tennessee
First such prohibition to withstand a constitutional challenge since June 2013
“The Supreme Court does not go the final step and find that a state that defines marriage as a union of one man and one woman is unconstitutional,” Simmons wrote. “Further, the Supreme Court does not find that one state’s refusal to accept another state’s valid same-sex marriage to be in violation of the U.S....

World Vision’s War Against The Jewish State
World Vision rarely misses an opportunity to blame Israel for the suffering it confronts
“The difference between World Vision’s approach to violence in Syria and Israel is so stark that it is impossible to believe that the people who run the organization from their offices in Federal Way, Washington do not see what is happening. People like Kevin Jenkins, the organization’s international president, simply do not get put in... Continue Reading
Ebola-Stricken Doctor Improving
As Kent Brantly gives thanks for people praying for his recovery, massive challenges remain in West Africa for combating the deadly disease
Though Brantly’s condition is still serious, and he remains in a high-tech isolation ward while he recovers, his remarkable comeback likely hinged on an experimental serum physicians administered while he was still in Liberia.
