Lewis one normally thinks about the great Christian apologist that he was, or the author of famous children’s books, or the celebrated professor of English literature. One does not usually think of him as one who spoke or wrote much about political matters. But he did. Scattered throughout his writings are various discussions about political matters, democracy, freedom, equality, law and justice, tyranny and the like. From talks he had given, or essays he had written, political matters quite often appear in the Lewis corpus. And they are fully relevant for the...

Santa Claus is coming to town, but this year he just might find more naughty than nice! Check out what happened when I donned the jolly old elf’s red suit and asked the guys what gifts they want for Christmas in 2021! Seems like I wasn’t the only one playing dress-up! Watch now!

During the earlier years of Anthony Hopkins’ career, he found himself in his own battle with alcoholism. RELATED: Christian Comic Chonda Pierce On Her Late Husband's Alcoholism Anthony’s addiction started “innocently.” He adopted a worldly mindset and drank because “that's what you do in theater, you drink." But as is the case too often, the social pastime soon took over his life. By 1975, Anthony’s drinking had spiraled out of control. "I was hell-bent on destruction," the award-winning actor recalled.

I have seen posters saying the election audit in Arizona should be televised. It is! there are 9 public cameras that you can access to view the audit in real time.

That they’re easy to carry, often pocket-perfect and lightweight, inexpensive (or relatively so), and sold in drugstores, airport arcades, supermarkets, and many other venues outside the hallowed precincts of the glorious bookstore does not make them less worthy of a good life as a book. Many old and battered paperbacks are treasured by their owners, for content they can’t replace in another edition or for pure sentimental attachment. Who among us hasn’t got paperbacks that we can’t part with, even as we wonder what we can do to keep them going? Paperbacks’ chief fault lies in the often low-grade (inexpensive)...
