Joe Rogan’s Endorsement of Bernie Makes Zero Sense
Though I’m not a regular listener to Joe Rogan’s podcast, when I do tune in I find him to be refreshingly open-minded, smart, and engaging. But Rogan’s stated justification for voting for Bernie Sanders makes no sense:

Clarence Thomas Speaks
Those who know Justice Clarence Thomas say that any perception of him as dour or phlegmatic couldn't be more off-base. He's a charming, gracious, jovial man, full of bonhomie and easy with a laugh, or so I'm told by people who know him well. On summer breaks he likes to roam around the country in an RV and stay ...

Nadler’s Folly
Jerry Nadler must have missed the day in law school where they teach you about persuasion. The House Democrat made a critical error early in the trial of President Trump. He didn’t just say that Republican senators, who voted to begin the proceedings without calling witnesses, were part of a cover-up. He said ...

Twitter Outrage at the Church of England’s Views on Sex
Two of the three main Abrahamic world religions have taught for years that sex is for marriage and that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. (For most of human history, society did not define people by their dominant sexual desires, and the word “heterosexual” did not appear in print until 1892.) ...
