A Critique of Joseph Atwill’s “Caesar’s Messiah”By James M. RochfordWe hesitate to write a critique of Joseph Atwill’s recent claim that Jesus never existed, arguing that the Romans invented the entire life, ministry, and teaching of Jesus (A recent online headline reads, “Ancient Confession Found: ‘We Invented Jesus’”). We hesitate to write this critique only because we worry that this will give backhanded merit to Atwill’s claims. It’s kind of like writing an argument for why Santa Claus doesn’t exist: even engaging in the debate almost gives the illusion that there is a debate. After all, even atheistic critics like...

Over the weekend, I met with a couple of Mexican friends passing through Dallas. They were on their way to visit their daughter in Houston.To say the least, they painted a dire picture of COVID in Mexico, from access to the vaccine to hospital beds.It confirmed something that I read at Mexico Pulse News last week:Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) reported on Wednesday, Jan. 27, that 44.9 percent more people died of covid-related issues from January through August of 2020 than initially reported by the Mexican government, adding another layer of discord to the nation's dismal handling...

Donald Trump Jr. will go to Wyoming to campaign against Republican Rep. Liz Cheney after she voted to impeach his father. 'I hear it's lovely during primary season,' he told Politico's Playbook. Cheney has been under fire from conservatives since she voted to impeach Donald Trump even as establishment Republicans - such as Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell - have defended her for voting her conscious.

I just noted this update to the AP Style Manual — "2021 Impeachment Topical Guide."[T]here was no widespread fraud in the election, as has been confirmed by a range of election officials across the country and by former Attorney General William Barr. Nearly all the legal challenges to the election put forth by Trump and his allies were dismissed — a fact Democrats mention in their brief for the trial.In terms of fact-checkers, this lacks context. Yes, many courts dismissed the many motions of the Trump legal team filed. But what the AP fails to disclose is that these dismissals...

“House Democrats are expected to unveil their plan to send up to $3,600 per child to families with children, a vast but temporary expansion of relief to households that experts have projected could lift millions from poverty. The proposal, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News, will add more detail to President Joe Biden’s call for expanding the Child Tax Credit as part of his $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief legislation. The plan provides for $3,600 over a year for children under 6 and $3,000 for children under 18, to be distributed in monthly installments by the Internal Revenue...

We have a STREAKER!!! The spin move was electric! pic.twitter.com/60Qvrc8NgP — Ryan Lacey (@rlacey23) February 8, 202 Must Be A Leftist The Super Bowl got very interesting in the fourth quarter as a “streaker” ran out on the field before being tackled by security. The man was wearing a pink swimsuit with black shorts with his bottom hanging out. He was able to run free for a few seconds before being brought down by a group of officers in the end zone. The man in the video has yet to be identified, but it appears he did this after getting...

Peter Navarro with Maria Bartiromo this morning MARIA BARTIROMO — Before an executive order reaches the president’s desk, it must first be vetted. It’s vetted by the Department of Justice, which begs the question — how were 17 of these executive orders ready to go, and waiting for President Biden to sign minutes after inauguration, on day one? “Sure, Maria. In my term, 4 years at the White House, I probably drafted over 50 of these orders. What you have to do is make sure you have the statutory authority to do what you’re going to do, right. And the...

DC Police officers and the family of slain Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick are at Super Bowl LV as guests of the National Football League. ESPN's Adam Schefter broke the news that has now been confirmed by DC Police in a picture the department sent to WUSA9 of three officers at the game. The three DC Police officers at the Super Bowl are Mike Fanone, Daniel Hodges and Lila Morris, according to Schefter's tweet. Sicknick was killed at the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 after he was hit in the head with a fire hydrant during the attack. He had...

“But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:15-16). God requires holiness and in Christ provides us the means to attain it. As we have learned, God is holy, and absolute holiness is the standard for anyone who wishes to be in His presence. “God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment” (2 Peter 2:4). In the same way, men who reject God...

No, Trump Supporters weren’t the ones instigating the Capitol riots on January 6th. Not only Antifa, but Ukrainian neo-Nazis were there instigating and partaking in violent activities as well. Antifa, the group of domestic terrorists that tore apart cities in the US in 2020, ended up causing $2 billion in damage. It’s no surprise then to find out that Antifa’s roots are in communists and Nazis in Europe: ... The day after the riot at the Capitol the Ukrainians reported that Russia was behind the effort because they supported President Trump. They also proved that they were at the Capitol...

Innumerable people took to social media to complain that NFL star Tom Brady winning the Super Bowl during Black History Month was “racist.” Many Black Lives Matter supporters scolded Brady for having the temerity to win, suggesting he was “racist” for doing so.

A Michigan couple tied balloons to the mailbox and set out a chalkboard with a hand-drawn sign announcing their baby shower on Saturday. To mark the occasion, the expectant parents in Gaines Township, Mich., fired a celebratory cannon as the small party stood outside in the snow in the backyard.

In a generally weak year for Super Bowl commercials, Jeep’s stood out for being particularly obnoxious and tone-deaf. Called “The Middle,” left-wing political activist and world-famous singer Bruce Springsteen narrated and starred in the ad about how the country has been divided, but now it has a bright future as the “ReUnited States of America.” While advertisements that appeal to virtues in order to increase sales and profits can work — see Toyota’s beautiful ad about the joy in adopting a child with special needs — this one fell flat and faced mockery and opposition from many viewers. Here are...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Feb. 7. The following statement in relation to the surrender of the revenue cutter Robert McClelland, is derived from an official source: The cutter is one of the largest and best in the revenue service, just rebuilt and refitted. Her commander was Capt. BRESHWOOD, of Virginia. On the 19th of January, four days after Secretary Dix took charge of the Treasury Department, he sent Mr. WM. HEMPHILL JONES, Chief Clerk in the First Comptroller's Office, to New-Orleans and Mobile, to save, if possible, the two cutters on service there. Capt. MORRISON, a Georgian, commanding the Lewis Cass at...

In a blow to the establishment GOP, a new Hill-HarrisX poll shows an overwhelming percentage of Republican voters would join a new political party established by former President Donald Trump. The survey asked how likely voters would be to join a Trump-led party. 64 percent of Republican voters said they would be likely to cross over, with half of those saying they would be “very likely” to join. The survey also found that a surprising chunk of independent voters (28 percent) and Democrats (15 percent) said they would sign up for a third party formed by Trump. ... Dritan Nesho,...

Over the last four years, we have seen an alarming trend of law professors and legal experts discarding constitutional and due process commitments to support theories for the prosecution or impeachment of Donald Trump or his family. Legal experts who long defended criminal defense rights have suddenly become advocates of the most sweeping interpretations of criminal or constitutional provisions while discarding basic due process and fairness concerns. Even theories that have been clearly rejected by the Supreme Court have been claimed to be valid in columns. No principle seems inviolate when it stands in the way of a Trump prosecution.
