It’s now legal to kill babies up to birth in Massachusetts. Gov. Maura Healey on Friday used an emergency preamble to put into effect a law that permits abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy based solely on an abortionist wanting to sell an abortion that kills a baby up to birth.

LEADERSHIP AND LISTENING "Listen to what I am saying," Job cried out to his "friends" in the biblical story. "That is all the comfort I ask from you. Give me a chance to speak, and then, when I am through, sneer if you like." Job didn't ask for much. But it was more than these colleagues were prepared to offer. Unfortunately, such encounters are far too frequent -- even among those we would expect to care about what we think or feel. Back in 1989, Admiral Carlisle Trost (then Chief of Naval Operations) asked a group at the Navy's...

The timing is particularly significant. On December 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Viramontes v. Cook County...

We just got back from the theater where we saw "Drummer Boy," a Revolutionary War musical, believe it or not. It reminded me a lot of "La La Land," which I quit watching halfway through, but I actually enjoyed this one. It is NOT an historically correct movie. It's a musical, and like all musicals it is a bit corny and improbable, but its heart is in the right place and I found the singing to be fun. I recommend it. As America’s fight for independence begins, a young drummer boy, an enslaved woman, and a divided family search for...
