What she offers is a "science of love," a way of knowing and acting that is utterly conditioned by the love that Jesus has placed in her heart: "Jesus deigned to...

In 2015, during the Obama administration, the Supreme Court ruled that the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment requires states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This decision — which made the final pronouncement on the first major battle about gender confusion — rendered meaningless the distinction between men and women. It was no longer necessary for a married couple to comprise a male and a female. In a marriage, there could now be two husbands or two wives. The weekend prior to this ruling, Bruce Jenner, a former decathlete who won gold in the 1976 Olympics, came...

Responding to an FBI report on Monday that shows homicides have increased an unprecedented 30% over the past year, CNN Newsroom host Erica Hill sought to figure out why. Ultimately she concluded that it was the police themselves and guns. In a segment with professor and criminologist Richard Rosenfeld, Hill inquired about the police: "You noted in some of your findings that urgent action was required in terms of the rates of homicide, saying 'enacting needed police reforms will be essential.'

And if there’s one thing we should know about politics and elections, it’s that it’s probably not the best idea to be against something that a lot of women support, especially white middle-class women. In Clark County, a lot...
