Why We Can Know God ExistsHumans possess a natural sense that there is something higher than themselves. Throughout history, some thinkers even argued that merely understanding the word “God” proves His existence. If God means the greatest possible being, and existing in reality is greater than existing only in the mind, then God must exist. Others claimed that since truth cannot be denied, and God is truth itself, God’s existence must also be undeniable.These arguments sound convincing. Yet experience tells us that God’s existence is not obvious to everyone. A math equation may be clear to a trained mathematician and...

When President Donald Trump took the oath of office for the second time in January, he did not inherit a roaring economy or a nation brimming with confidence. He inherited an economy weighed down by chronic inflation, high prices, and a deep sense of anxiety among working families who felt they were falling further behind every month. But one year later, the outlook is far different. From day one onward, Trump has taken decisive action to stabilize and improve the economy. Challenges remain, and affordability is still a serious concern. But the results speak for themselves—and the best may still...

The Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish’s multimillion-dollar Los Angeles mansion said celebrities should “explicitly” reference the tribes if they want to use them to virtue-signal. The Tongva tribe confirmed the “Bad Guy” singer’s $3 million home does sit on its “ancestral land,” after the 24-year-old used her Grammys acceptance speech to rail against ICE and insist that “no one is illegal on stolen land.” The indigenous inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin, known as the “First Angelenos,” said they appreciate Eilish’s sentiment, however, they noted that the performer hasn’t contacted them directly — and insisted...

Some days, you just wake in a good mood.

President Trump published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Jan 30. You might have missed it in all the brouhaha. It’s not often a President writes an editorial explaining his economic policies in detail. And, one presumes that an effort like this is vetted by his economic team, so it provides an interesting insight in to their thinking as well.

Three principles stand out: Correlation vs. causation, budget constraints and accounting identities,...
