A surefire sign that you’re losing an argument is when you resort to personally attacking your opponent. After Democrats lost in Virginia’s gubernatorial election Tuesday night, the media pulled out the race card from 2016, saying that the Republican candidate won because of racist whites (even though Republicans also elected the first black female lieutenant governor). That pity party continued on The View Wednesday where they discussed the Virginia race. For the second day in a row, the liberal co-hosts shouted down their conservative guest host, NFL reporter Michele Tafoya, for pushing back on their DNC talking points about Critical...

Vice President Harris on Wednesday congratulated Republican Glenn Youngkin for prevailing in the Virginia governor’s race while expressing disappointment at Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s loss. “I supported Terry McAuliffe. I think he would have made a great governor, but it clearly was a fair election and I applaud the governor-elect,” Harris told reporters on Capitol Hill. Asked for her message to Democrats following the loss in Virginia, Harris said she would “leave that to the pundits” before highlighting what she described as “great wins” by Eric Adams (D) in the New York City mayoral race and Shontel Brown (D) in Ohio’s...

The Supreme Court issued an important ruling today stopping New York state from forcing Christians to fund abortions in their health care plans. The ruling comes on the same day SCOTUS is holding oral arguments related to two pro-abortion lawsuits seeking to block the Texas abortion ban. In its ruling today, the Supreme Court just ordered New York courts to reconsider Diocese of Albany v. Emami, a case challenging New York’s coercive abortion mandate that requires employers to cover abortions in their health insurance plans—even if the employers are religious groups. The Sisterhood of Saint Mary, an Anglican order of...

On Tuesday’s airing of “The View”, co-host Whoopi Goldberg proposed a wild suggestion when she advised “white people” to “step up” and not make skin color an issue in America. While The View has always been known for spreading some of the most outrageous liberal theories, even the guest, Michele Tafoya, a sports reporter for NBC, was confused. It was Tafoya who started the whole conversation by asking the audience why children are being taught so much about skin color in the first place.

The New Jersey governor’s race is still up in the air thanks to vote-counting debacles plaguing several counties — including in a key area where dozens of machines were shut down before ballots were counted. A mistake by a poll worker led machines in 56 voting districts in Essex County, the state’s second-most populated region, to be turned off before their ballots were tallied, local election officials said. The flub has helped throw a wrench into calling the stunningly tight race between Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy and GOP foe Jack Ciattarelli.

So, I suppose the question is...what kind of civil trial will we see, or not see, between Cheney and Whittington? Whittington is certainly no stranger to a court room and to civil litigation. Will Cheney pay him off, preemptively? Will they go to court? I would imagine if a guy with a few beers in him shoots you in the face on a hunting trip, how could you turn down that opportunity? ... Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry Whittington would be the answer to America’s...

There were a few very insightful responses to my article about the name change Facebook is undergoing, to “Meta”. I Believe that the word Meta is shorthand for a concept in the high tech world, known as the “Metaverse”. The Metaverse is the new artificial improvement on the Universe. God made the Universe. It is a moral universe, and imposes limits on humanity such as time space and matter. The Metaverse is a highly “reality augmented” integration of the internet with the real world, Virtual reality and augmented reality will fully integrate with the world around us, they say, so...

More people watched Fox News than any other cable news network during coverage of Election Night on Tuesday. Fox had the largest audience of any of the three major networks in each hour from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. according to early data from Nielsen Media Research, peaking with 5 million viewers during the 10 p.m. hour, including 988,000 in the coveted 25-54 age demographic. When the Virginia governor's race was called for Republican Glenn Youngkin during the 12 p.m. hour, 2.8 million were tuned into Fox News, compared to 800,000 viewers on MSNBC and 716,000 on CNN.

“Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom” (James 3:13). A wise person is a gentle person. A believer will demonstrate that he possesses the wisdom of God not only by his behavior, but also by his attitude. True wisdom is characterized by gentleness and is the opposite of self-promotion and arrogance. Gentleness is the trait that characterized our Lord. In Matthew 11:29 He says, “Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.” It is also a trait...

Both Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) are seeing lagging approval among their constituents as over half of registered Wisconsin voters in a new poll signal they would vote for someone other than either incumbent. A Marquette Law School Poll published on Wednesday found that 53 percent of registered Wisconsin voters would vote for someone else besides Evers while 40 percent said they’d vote to reelect him. About six percent said they did not know or declined to say.

Edwin Durr, a Republican candidate for president of the New Jersey Senate, is inching ahead of incumbent Stephen Sweeney (D) as of Wednesday morning, according to NJ.com. In 2017, Sweeney managed to win reelection against a powerful Republican challenger, Fran Grenier; together, the two sides spent more than $24 million in the race. The New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission reported that the election may have been "the most expensive legislative race in U.S. history." Durr, in contrast, claims that he has spent just $153.00 on his campaign, NJ.com reported. Durr's campaign focused on "limiting government, reducing taxes, and fixing...

From the start, the pandemic has been responsible for spreading not only a virus, but polarization. Beyond the immense toll that COVID-19 has taken and continues to take on health and human life, the unnecessary social division that has accompanied the pandemic is a tragedy unto itself. We are dismayed by the notable degree of skepticism and denialism about COVID-19. As Christians belonging to different theological traditions, we are especially discouraged that many of our fellow believers have adopted these attitudes. Moreover, as followers of Christ working for non-sectarian organizations — a public university and a legal charity, respectively —...

When Republican Winsome Sears took the stage early Wednesday morning to celebrate her victory over Democrat Hala Ayala in the race to be Virginia’s next lieutenant governor, the crowd was electrified. Sears, surrounded by her family, sparkled as the crowd chanted, “Winsome! Winsome! Winsome!” “I am at a loss for words for the first time in my life,” she told supporters. “I am here because of you. I’m here because you voted for me. I’m here because you put your trust in me. Thank you, thank you.” “I’m telling you that what you are looking at is the American dream....

While all eyes were on Virginia last night, where Republican Glenn Youngkin pulled a massive upset, other elections were going on across the country. Candidates for local offices and state districts along with referendums on things like defunding the police occurred in places like Texas, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and there’s a big upset in Texas that suggests doom is coming for Democrats in 2022.That occurred in San Antonio where the race of HD118 took place. Republican John Lujan came out victorious in the majority-Hispanic district that Democrats carried by double-digits the last time around.BREAKING: Lujan (R) flips HD118 in Texas...

Many people outside of Virginia have probably not heard about Winsome Sears before — the new Lt. Governor-elect in Virginia. My colleague Jennifer Oliver O’Connell wrote about her win and that of Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares last night.But after the drubbing she and the other Republicans gave their opponents last night and the speech she delivered in response, it’s probably safe to say that many more have heard of her now. Indeed, folks are already pointing at the way she and Youngkin conducted their campaigns as models to win against divisive Democrats. They showed what a failure the Democratic approach...

WASHINGTON — Centrist Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell found themselves on the same page Wednesday, saying Republican wins in Tuesday’s elections show voters are concerned about inflation — and Democrats need to be wary of President Biden’s massive spending plan. Manchin (D-WV) is a pivotal swing vote in Biden’s push for a $1.75 trillion social and environmental spending package, and he alone could kill the bill in the evenly divided Senate. “When you look at southwestern Virginia and you saw the returns from southwest, that’s my entire state — so these are people I talk...
