The US is hurtling towards an entirely preventable economic crisis, and a trillion-dollar coin could solve all of its problems — if the Biden administration decides to take it seriously. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the government could run out of money to pay its debts as soon as June 1, triggering a never-before-seen debt-ceiling crisis. Even a short default could cost the country almost a million jobs and trigger a recession. But Republicans and Democrats are still waiting for the other to blink. The House GOP narrowly passed a bill last week that would tie massive budget cuts...

Although God the Son had visited earth during certain periods of the Old Testament (Genesis 14:18-20, 16:7-14, 18:1-31, 22:11-18, 31:11-13, 32:22-32, Exodus 3:2-6, Joshua 5:13-15, and Hebrews 7:3), God the Son did not take on His permanent form until the virgin birth Incarnation (Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:26-38). His mother and stepfather hailed from the region of Nazareth, but a mandatory imperial requirement during the reign of Caesar Augustus required the expecting parents to make the arduous journey to Bethlehem to be counted in the census (Micah 5:2, Luke 2:1-6). Thus, it was here at the turn of the fourth millennium...

I’ve seen a lot of dumb arguments from anti-gunners over the years, many of them repeated ad nauseam, so I’ll give Naperville, Illinois and its attorneys a small amount of credit for their originality in defending the city’s ban on so-called assault weapons in its latest filing with the Seventh Circuit. But from a legal perspective, the city’s claim that the right to keep and bear arms extends only to handguns is downright silly, not to mention contradicted by several Supreme Court opinions. [Tweet by Firearms Policy Coalition:] "Naperville: "In short, nothing in Heller or Bruen suggests that the Second...
